Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

Chapter 17, Mining Village

Several people looked at him, and Wu Heng was also stunned.

Then I realized that I was talking to myself.

Looking at the miners who behaved like zombies, Wu Heng was also speechless.

Although he is a necromancer, he is limited to releasing skills.

If you are not a real scholar, how can you read these things?

But the other party said that he could only step forward to check on the miners.

The miner looked crazy, with drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.

As if going crazy, he wanted to attack the people in front of him.

The pupils are still focused, and the skin does not have the zombie state.

Take off your gloves and place them on the skin of the other person's neck.

You can feel the temperature of the human body, and there is no breath of the necromancer.

More like a rabies patient than a zombie.

Irritated, crazy, like a wild beast.

The difference from zombies is that their bodies still have life characteristics.

"It's not the undead, it's more like going crazy." Wu Heng said, and then added, "It doesn't rule out the undead's other methods."

Even though I haven't seen many undead creatures, I can be sure that the miners in front of me are not soldiers transformed by undead magic.

Then, the Curly Investigator also came forward to conduct an inspection.

Almost the same conclusion was given.

Plamon nodded, threw the crazy miners aside, and ordered: "Tie up all the alive ones, don't let them affect the subsequent investigation."

"Yes!" the guard responded, searched for some hemp rope rags in the village, and began to tie them up to the miners.

Nearly half of the more than twenty crazy miners died in the first contact, and the rest were injured.

With this kind of injury, struggling like crazy and self-mutilating, even if he wakes up later, he will be disabled.

But it's better than being killed directly by the guards.

Soon, the miner was tied up tightly and thrown into a wooden house.

The investigation team, after confirming that there was no other danger, continued walking into the village.

The whole village was empty.

Desolate and desolate.

Along the road, you can see wooden barrels and manuscripts placed on the roadside, and clothes hanging to dry.

The guard team formed a formation, chatting quietly as they walked.

The professional team followed behind.

Kavina whispered, "This is not as simple as a missing person."

The intelligence obtained by Blackstone Town, as well as the information provided by the mine owner, was that the villagers were missing.

You can't see people alive, but you can't see corpses even if they are dead.

But when they came over, they saw another situation.

The crazy miners rushed out, which was completely different from disappearing.

"Two possibilities are that the information has changed over time, the missing people have returned to the village, and for some reason these villagers have started to go crazy. The second possibility is that the person who provided the information concealed the true situation." Wu Heng analyzed.

"You have to say it!" Kavina said.

"I mean, if it's the second one, then our situation may be in danger."

The sound was not loud, but the surroundings were unusually quiet.

When the others heard this, their expressions changed and they looked at each other.

If it is the second type, it means that the mission itself is a conspiracy, and our investigation team may have fallen into the enemy's trap.

Thinking of the first wave of missing investigation teams, it is even more worrying.

These two situations are actually not difficult to understand.

I figured it all out in just a few words.

After everyone reacted, they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

After a moment of silence, the Curly Investigator retorted, "The owner of the mine has no reason to lie. The mine is his source of income. He is more anxious than anyone else if something happens here. There is no reason to lie to us and to the investigation team. He has to bear the responsibility." serious consequence."

That's right.

That's true.

Wu Heng nodded, indicating that he agreed with the other party's statement.

Blindly guessing something now will only make things more complicated.

…

The procession moves along the road.

The village is larger than expected, and the houses are intertwined with each other to form intricate paths.

The debris on both sides of the road began to increase.

Mine carts and manuscripts, stones and debris piled up into hills.

Several thigh-thick trees were hung with hemp ropes and strips of cloth, like hanging curtains.

The breeze blows and the waves sway.

Quiet yet eerie.

Soon, the team passed through the village and could see a large mine.

The mining village is built on the mines.

Years of mining have left this mountain riddled with holes and countless mines.

"There's someone over there," the guard said.

Looking ahead, three corpses can be seen in front of a garbage pile of rubble and debris.

The team quickly approached, and everyone's expression turned a little ugly.

Judging from their clothing, they were from the missing investigation team.

Someone really dares to attack the investigation team.

This matter may be more serious than imagined.

Investigator Curly began to examine the corpses, and in the arms of one of the corpses, he found a record book and opened it to look at.

Wu Heng and others immediately came over and looked at the contents in the dusk light.

[There is no one in the village, daily necessities and property have not been taken away, and traces of life are retained... 】

What was recorded above is the situation in the village.

Unlike Wu Heng and others, the first investigation team did not encounter crazy villagers at the door, and only recorded an empty village.

This is the same intelligence as Blackstone Town.

They all say that the village is empty and people have disappeared.

But they obviously had more time, and they inspected the house, but there were no useful clues.

Curly turned to the second page.

[Late at night, there were firelights and noisy sounds in the village. We followed the firelight to the center of the village and saw the missing villagers gathered in the open space in the middle. They gathered together as if they were having a dance.

Some people raised their heads and sang, blood flowed from their mouths, some people were dancing, their soles were bloody and bloody. These people seemed to be crazy and behaved abnormally. 】

[We waited until dawn, and the crazy villagers began to walk towards the mine behind the village. We continued to follow them, intending to see where they were hiding and why they had become like this. 】

The record ends here.

Very useful clues are given later.

At night, the crazy villagers will come out to sing and dance, and by then the villagers' mental state has already begun to suffer.

When they arrived here, the condition of the villagers was even more serious and began to get out of control.

At daybreak, we will go to the mine.

And all of this investigation team died at the foot of the mine.

Discovered?

It shouldn't be possible. It can be followed all the way down the mountain. How could it be discovered in the end?

Wu Heng was analyzing in his mind and was about to raise his head to speak.

But he found that everyone was looking at him.

"what?"

Wu Heng stepped forward subconsciously, and everyone took a step back, looking behind him with vigilance.
