Chapter 346 Fang Gu's Revenge, The Appearance of the Living Dead
While Jiang Han and his companions were fighting the army of rotting corpses, the residents of the XC district outside the city wall had already fallen asleep.
Night fell, and a misty fog enveloped the city's myriad lights, obscuring the view of the city at night.
As the weather gets colder, fog is more likely to form in winter. No one knows if heavy rain will suddenly turn into heavy snow. If that happens, the residents living in the ancient capital will feel more at ease.
The main reason for this is that ice and snow will freeze the soil harder to a certain extent, and when the soil is frozen hard, it will be more difficult for the dead to crawl out and cause trouble.
In an old residential area, a slender figure moved like a purple bat dancing in the night between the eaves, easily gliding between them in a long purple wrap coat.
She soon stopped at a courtyard with tiled houses. The courtyard didn't look very big from the outside, but it was full of people, all of whom were villagers who had escaped from Huacun.
At the foot of the courtyard steps, the old village chief Xie Sang was sitting there smoking an old-fashioned pipe when suddenly a petite figure came up in front of him. The person was none other than the female healer Su Xiaoluo, who looked at the old village chief with a suspicious gaze.
"After my father left the village and became a traitor to his ancestors, you became the person I respected most. But now I have to doubt you!" Su Xiaoluo said.
"Doubt me? Doubt me about what?" Old Village Chief Xie Sang took a puff of his pipe, then feigned ignorance.
Upon hearing their conversation, Liu Ru, who was on the roof, stopped her leap and concealed her slender figure back into the darkness, leaving only her bright eyes shining in the shadows.
"On the way back, I heard Gouzi say he saw people from Yangyang Village, but why do you say there's no one in Yangyang Village?" Su Xiaoluo stared into Xie Sang's cloudy eyes and continued.
Xie Sang took another puff of his pipe, then calmly said, "Gouzi has always been a bit crazy; we don't need to pay attention to what he says."
"Besides that, I heard other things, also about the people of Yangyang Village. I want to know where the people of Yangyang Village went?" Su Xiaoluo continued to ask.
"Girl, how would I know? And didn't the newspapers say that all six of our dangerous villages have been wiped out? Besides, you saw those undead spirits break through our wooden structures; Yangyang Village must have been slaughtered by them," Xie Sang said.
No matter how Xie Sang explained, Su Xiaoluo didn't believe him. She suspected that Yangyang Village had disappeared long ago, but Xie Sang just wouldn't answer her question. Just as the two were at an impasse, a voice suddenly burst in without warning.
"Village Chief Xie, are you so sure the people of Yangyang Village have disappeared? Look at me, I'm standing right here, perfectly fine!"
Immediately afterwards, Xie Sang and Su Xiaoluo saw a person dressed in black appear in the center of the courtyard near the well. He walked towards them like a ghost, and Xie Sang was so frightened that she kept backing away.
"Village Chief Xie, I'm not a ghost, why are you so afraid of me?" the man in black said with a smile.
"You... how could it be you?!" Xie Sang's face turned deathly pale as he kept moving backward, more terrifying than if he had seen a ghost.
Su Xiaoluo found the person hidden by the black hat somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place where she had seen him before, so she tentatively asked, "Who are you?"
"Fang Gu." As he spoke, Fang Gu took off his hat, revealing his face.
Fang Gu fixed his gaze on Xie Sang's face and said with a sinister smile, "Don't be afraid. I came to you today to find out which bastard killed my son. Tell me and maybe I'll let you off the hook."
"Your son...wasn't your son dead a long time ago?" Old Village Chief Xie Sang said, his voice trembling.
Just then, a crazy young man suddenly ran out of the courtyard. He was none other than Gouzi, whom Xie Sang and Su Xiaolu had just mentioned. He immediately knelt down in front of Fang Gu and begged for mercy, blurting out everything he knew without a second thought.
"He's a friend of that idiot. I saw him crush Fang Liu's head out of thin air. If you want revenge, go find him. This has nothing to do with us. Please let us go."
"Dog, the person you saw in Huacun was Fang Liu? But that's not..." Su Xiaoluo questioned.
Liu Ru, perched on the eaves, naturally knew that the person Gouzi was talking about was Jiang Han. As for Fang Liu, whose head had been crushed, he seemed to be the living dead boy who was about to ambush her. Liu Ru instantly perked up when she heard people below talking about Jiang Han.
Just then, Fang Gu below suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, saying, "We are all of the same clan, and it's rare for everyone to be here, so let's all get together today. Wait a moment, I'll call them over right away."
Fang Gu had already begun to draw a star map. The star map was the same color as black blood, but it was not the pure black of the shadow element, nor the surging and bright fire element. Instead, it possessed an astonishing murderous aura, and at the same time carried an evil and corrupting aura.
Liu Ru frowned as she looked at the star map Fang Gu had drawn. As a vampire, she could clearly feel the strong aura of the dead from the star map. However, this star map was different from the normal undead star map, with more evil and malevolent energy.
"Necromanticism? What is he trying to do?" Liu Ru wondered to herself.
As the black mist spread, a strong smell of blood gradually filled the courtyard, and the dark red star map in front of Fang Gu was as eerie and bloodthirsty as the patterns used in some ancient ritual.
Gradually, one figure after another emerged from the black mist, and no one knew where they came from.
These people looked lifelike, but their faces were unusually pale and covered with blood-red cracks. Apart from that, they were no different from normal people.
The commotion in the courtyard naturally alerted the people inside the house. Fang Youmiao was the first to come out of the house, but she was stunned when she saw the familiar "people" in the courtyard. After regaining her senses, Fang Youmiao excitedly ran over to hug them.
"Don't go over there!!" Su Xiaoluo suddenly shouted to stop Fang Youmiao, who was rushing towards her.
Fang Youmiao stopped in his tracks and looked at Su Xiaoluo with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why Su Xiaoluo had called out to him.
"Didn't you realize they're all dead?" Su Xiaoluo's expression was unusually grave, her eyes filled with fear.
Fang Youmiao still didn't quite believe Su Xiaoluo's words, and just then, Liu Ru jumped down from the eaves and said indifferently, "They are indeed dead. The reason they can still move is because they have been turned into living dead."
"Impossible, this is impossible, why is this happening?!" Fang Youmiao looked at the familiar villagers in the courtyard in a state of mental collapse.
"Young seedlings, blame that old man surnamed Xie and those people from Huacun. They're the ones who made us all end up like this. If it weren't for them, none of us would have died." Fang Gu glared venomously at the old village chief Xie Sang and the Huacun people watching from inside the house.
