Ugh……
This time, even Jerry covered her forehead with her hands, and Sixus, who was squeezed with her, grinned at Hitzfeld, with a very clear meaning in his eyes.
Look at this little treasure you got!
Hitzfeld was a little embarrassed. In order to ease the embarrassment, she had to continue asking Ma Kai for more details of what happened.
"So everyone there dispersed after the attack?"
"Yes... Actually, quite a few people survived at that time. I feel that the monsters didn't change much in proportion. It was about ten to one. That's what I saw at the time."
"Those people were not killed, but were dispersed? And finally they escaped separately?" Russell suddenly asked him.
"Yes!" Mackay was a little afraid of Russell, and answered honestly: "There was a bald guy leading the group... He was very good at fighting, and every shot he fired could knock down a group. He led at least 20 people out... Do you know him?"
Russell didn't bother to pay attention to him, and whispered to the gray-haired girl who was staring at him: "That's Xino, the person in charge of this branch. He is the best helper we can find in the surrounding area."
"They might be planning to rescue you," Hitzfeld reminded him.
"We can't go back." Russell knew what she was hinting at and shook his head decisively, "You should also be able to feel your pocket tightening... It's too dangerous to go find him now."
"Relax." Seeing the girl start to frown, Russell comforted her, "Xino is not weak, he is also very smart. He knows how to protect himself."
Hitzfeld looked at his face carefully for a few seconds and said nothing.
She felt more and more that something was not right with the Thorn Birds Chamber of Commerce in Talignan.
If providing funds, tools, intelligence channels... these can barely be considered within the scope of business, then finding a shrewd and capable branch president in a remote place like Senling City... this is obviously a bit too much.
Also, they couldn't get those modified firearms. She guessed that the Thorn Birds here were either completely controlled by the Sara royal family, or they were hiding something.
Suddenly, the carriage shook, and Hitzfeld and the woman's overlapping bodies rubbed against each other briefly.
"I ran over a body." Xia Yibing could sense the resentful gazes coming from below, so she had to explain to her, "I tried to drive as steadily as possible... I tried."
Having said that, the road has indeed become bumpy.
They were already close to the outskirts of the city, and compared to the quiet section of road in the middle, the situation here was even more tragic.
It was fine for a road like this one, but when they passed some narrow intersections, they could see a large number of corpses and vehicle wreckage piled up there. It was easy to imagine... those survivors must have been panicking and trying to squeeze in, but instead they blocked more people outside.
This made it convenient for the Frost Dragons behind to start hunting. Judging from the debris and bloodstains on the ground, they killed their way into the alley, leaving a bloody mark with every step. The process was so brutal that Hitzfeld thought of the queues at the fully automatic coin-operated vending machines that dispensed drinks.
"The area is so large that ordinary poisoning can't be done." She heard Xia Yibing muttering to herself.
"Water source? Or was the trigger laid earlier..."
"It should have been planted earlier, and the water source is also a factor." Moore said immediately after hearing her murmur, "Everyone has a 'trigger factor' in their body. They did something to everyone here in advance, and when they decided to trigger it, they put drugs that accelerate the distortion into the water source."
"This explains why not everyone turned into a monster. The ratio was kept at ten to one..." Eugenie nodded, "Because not everyone drank the well water that was just drawn today."
Then everyone was silent for a while and turned to look at Ma Kai in the middle.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ma Kai was shocked. "No... I didn't drink that kind of water! No, that's not right - I didn't drink any water today!"
"You believe it?" Eugenie pushed him back. "Be honest! You do have hidden dangers..."
Fortunately, there is only one unknown factor: Ma Kai.
Everyone in the team was very cautious. They were not sure whether the Undead Party had estimated the time of their arrival. The thing they bought to quench their thirst was not water at all, but an alcoholic beverage brewed with deep spring water and fruit juice.
The alcohol content is very low, so there is no need to worry about any problems. This can basically ensure that there is no problem with the source of the drink.
"do not do that……"
Ma Kai was really scared to death.
He felt that these people were not normal, very gloomy, and did not like to speak clearly about anything. He had no idea whether they had changed their minds.
After all, to be fair, if he were in these people's position, he would definitely not carry around a burden that could mutate at any time.
So he immediately realized that he had to raise the stakes. His current value alone was not enough to ensure his trip to Berwyn County.
"You... I just saw you guys discussing something, you should be spies, right?"
He studied their faces carefully.
"Is it from the civilian population? Or is it the legendary Third Intelligence Agency?"
"It has nothing to do with you!" Eugenie said unhappily.
"How can it not be related?" Ma Kai cheered up.
"I know the secret you want to explore!"
"Regarding the mysterious leader of the Deathly Hallows Party..."
"I may have seen him the other day!!"
Chapter 53: Exploring the Experimental Site
"The leader of the Deathly Hallows?"
"Have you met him?"
They had to turn their eyes to Ma Kai again, their voices full of surprise.
Especially Eugenie, who was originally chased by the Undead Party and fled without resistance. On the one hand, he was worried about Jerry, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would not have enough time to contact Kaloni Deka, whom he trusted the most, and he was worried that the insidious and cunning Undead Party leader had already set a trap for him.
At that time, he didn't trust anyone and thought everyone was a member of the Death Party. He knew the man's horror and mystery best, and at this time, he was even more emotional.
"Don't talk nonsense here!" The young man glared at Ma Kai angrily, "Look at where we are! Not many people know the identity of Kerge, but you... can you recognize who is their leader?"
Although Ma Kai's background was innocent, he obviously had no powerful background. His skills as a detective were not enough for him to make correct inferences, and Eugenie thought he was talking nonsense.
"I said 'maybe'!" Mackay cried out in grievance, "'Maybe'! Sir! I didn't say for sure that it was his!"
"Really?" Eugenie sneered. "Then tell me, why did he put down everything else he was doing and come to this godforsaken place? What in Senling City is worth him coming here in person?"
This was also the core reason why he did not trust Ma Kai. The most important thing for the Death Party and its leader at the moment was to capture him/find a way to find the person disguised as Kaloni. Senling City? He did not think it had any meaning.
"Not necessarily." Moore narrowed his eyes and said to Ma Kai, "Tell me in detail what you saw."
Ma Kai immediately started to speak nonstop. It turned out that he had been in and out of the city lord's mansion frequently recently, and occasionally saw the owner welcoming some guests whom he did not know but whose temperament was obviously different from that of the local nobles. He then made a good judgment and inferred that these people were members of the Dead Soul Party from other places. Among these people, there was a tall, strong, and slender man who left the deepest impression on him. He saw with his own eyes that those people took him out of the sedan chair and even found a red carpet to lay under his feet, fearing that he would get dirty.
Ordinary members of the Undead Party certainly don’t receive such treatment. Eugenie fell silent after hearing this.
He still didn't think that he was the leader of the Undead Party... but there was no doubt that he was more or less a party cadre. He still couldn't understand why the Undead Party was so concerned about Senling City.
He rolled his eyes, looked at Moore through Mark, and suddenly asked him, "What did you mean by 'not necessarily'?"
Moore-Salley is a cautious person, and his words mean that he has thought of a possibility.
"These frost dragons..." Moore smacked his lips. "We said before that these people activated some kind of contamination toxin in the local people's bodies."
"Yeah." Eugenie nodded.
"Have you ever thought that this toxin was not planted just to disturb us?"
"Of course it can't be for us." The young man frowned. This kind of thing can be easily deduced.
No one could predict whether they would come to Senling, and no one could predict that Senling would need to play such a role one day. The Necromancers would never kill all the civilians in their jurisdiction, so they must have other reasons for polluting Senling City.
As for the reason... didn't Old Moore hint at it before - those people were studying the mystery of the bloodline of the Three Dragon Guards family, which might involve the most taboo experiments on living people. And there weren't many places in the whole of Tarignan that were more remote and backward than Senling City. This was an excellent experimental site. He thought this was their plan.
"You're not stupid." Moore smiled and glanced at Hitzfeld and the others. "I believe you're not stupid...you can all see these things...but I think you're still oversimplifying their plans."
"Mr. Sally." Hitzfeld looked at him seriously, "You might as well make your words more clear."
In fact, she already had some guesses in her mind.
But it looks like Moore-Salley is going to pretend... so just tell him to finish.
"You guys were with this guy before..." Moore looked at Russell.
"Just call me Russell."
"I have discussed other secrets of the Three Dragon Guards with Mr. Russell." Moore nodded, "... He mentioned a secret history many years ago. The Dragon Guards may have had a civil war. The purpose of the civil war is to find the secret stored in the fourth floor of the Dragon God Tomb. It can stimulate the true Dragon God bloodline and give us the opportunity to transform into giant dragons."
Then he looked at Eugenie and asked him, "You said at first that they were chasing you because you saw someone sneaking into the fourth floor of Dragon Tomb?"
"That's right." Eugenie frowned.
He is actually a little skeptical about this statement now, but they said those words away from Moore at the time, and now Makai is present... He doesn't intend to let too many people know that the face he saw belongs to Kaloni Deka.
"Then their priority must be to find that person and try to take the secret from him, or simply control him and force him to lead them to open the fourth level of the dragon tomb." Moore said.
Eugenie nodded. He thought so at first.
"But do you think this is all they have prepared?"
"What do you want to say?" The young man frowned again.
"He wants to say that the Deathly Haunted Party can't be hanged on this tree." Xia Yibing, who was driving, reminded him, "In addition to this goal, they must have other ways to achieve their goal."
"...You mean, Senling City is one of them?" Eugenie finally understood everything, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes dangerously.
From this perspective, the purpose of Senling City as a living human experiment site is not just to study the mystery of the Dragon Guard family's bloodline. It should be said that the purpose of their research into this mystery is to artificially create the blood of the Dragon God!
Only the true descendants of the Dragon God can enter the fourth floor of the Dragon Tomb... There are indeed similar words carved on that door.
Now the real blood descendant is nowhere to be found. If he keeps hiding and the Undead Party can't catch him, they can't just sit there and wait.
Yes... Eugenie suddenly thought that before someone actually opened the fourth floor of the Dragon Tomb, everyone and all forces assumed that the descendant did not exist.
Talignant has been in chaos for too long. The various families have been displaced, those who have cut off their inheritance have cut off their inheritance, and those who have inherited their inheritance have long since intermarried with other families. Even if there is real bloodline, it has long been mixed... That's why there is such a ridiculous thing that more than 200 families claim to have the right to inherit the treasure.
So there is no pure blood, the Necromancer should have determined this long ago.
The Dragon God's Tomb has been discovered for some time. They have been digging tombs with shovels on their backs for several years. They should have anticipated the reality of "no pure blood", so they should have been planning... and researching solutions to the "no pure blood" problem.
Senling City is one of the solutions.
This is a very scary thing... He suddenly remembered that most of the families claiming the right of inheritance were suppressed by the Undead Party. On the surface, the Undead Party would not destroy them unless they crossed the line, but this did not mean that the Undead Party would not do other things to them.
For example, collecting their blood.
Plus the blood of the Dragon Guard family obtained through various means, if they can gather these bloodlines together to complete it...
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but tremble. He immediately asked Ma Kai: "Where is the City Lord's Mansion?"
"In the northeast direction...it should be the same direction we are heading now." Ma Kai said blankly.
"I'll drive slower." Xia Yibing understood what he meant, "Tell me when we get there."
"Then we may have to trouble Mr. Sally again." Hitzfeld stared at Moore.
"Leave it to me." Moore nodded.
"This kind of taboo matter... I will find out the truth even without you urging me."
"What taboo?" Ma Kai panicked, "What should I tell you?"
these people.
Are these people planning to visit the City Lord's Mansion?
Are you kidding me? The situation is so dangerous now... shouldn't we leave the city immediately? How can we have the time to explore the secrets?
"The information you provided is very important, Mr. Mackay."
Hitzfeld finally remembered to talk to this person, and she smiled at Ma Kai.
"If there is a discovery, it may not be you who will reward us heavily... someone will give you more money at that time."
But I don’t want money—
Ma Kai moved his lips, but he didn't dare to say it.
He just wanted to escape quickly.
I would have kept quiet if I had known this earlier...
Chapter 54: Secret Chamber Two-in-One
The process of reaching the City Lord's Mansion was very smooth, and not a single Frost Dragon was seen jumping out to attack along the way.
This might be because the survivors in this area were almost all dead, and the evil creatures that had gathered together rushed towards the city center, just as Russell had described before - like a tightening pocket.
This actually works in their favor... All we can say is that wheels are faster than two legs. They are so efficient in getting out of the pockets that the Undead may not even be able to react in time.
This is also related to the strange location of the City Lord’s Mansion.
“It’s not even built in the city center.”
