The red moon returns

Chapter 431 City Lord’s Mansion

Lynch never thought of being the savior of the world, especially a virtual world.

In his previous life, he was actually a very traditional person, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not deceive in secret.

But it is enough to just not bully.

He had a clear conscience and would not go against his conscience because of the falsehood here. This was the bottom line. As for other things, as long as he could complete the task, he would not care too much about the final result.

All he wanted to do was to peacefully plant the human-faced fruit to complete his mission, and by the way, see what characteristics Mordiggian's disease would have when it turned into a plague. That was all.

Although historical changes allowed the latter goal to be exceeded, the main goal became a luxury. He had been working hard to resolve the crisis in the city these days, just to have a stable rear so that he could complete the task smoothly.

The progress has been very bumpy, and it is still uncertain whether there will be any harvest in the end, but at least there is still hope. If there is such a commotion now, the last hope may be shattered. If things go wrong, even these people will be trapped here.

"It's not over yet. We must not give up easily until the last moment." The four of them had already avoided Dr. Swen. Lynch gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "We still have a chance. As long as we can find the body, we can regain the initiative."

Officer Natalie shook her head and said, "Didn't you say that once the body is destroyed, the memories of the strange object will most likely be suppressed?"

"I am just speculating, it may not be true." Lynch hesitated for a moment and said, "And what I said is to find the body, not destroy it."

"Ok?"

"This time, there was such a big commotion in Norfland. The city lord might just want to revive his youngest son. But old Swain went to such great lengths just to help the city lord realize his wish? I don't believe it. I think he must have other purposes."

"So what is his purpose?"

"I don't know, maybe it's just for the plague. But if he did it just for the plague, there's no need for him to take the risk of keeping the body after the mission is accomplished. Now that he has left the body and protected it well, I think this resurrected body must be a very important tool for her. Then once we can control the body, we will have a hostage. As long as we can get old Sven to give us one more day, we can complete the mission, and everything else depends on our own ability."

Several ladies had strange expressions on their faces, and after going around in circles, they finally returned to the ultimate goal of finding the body.

Destiny has indeed planned everything.

In fact, it is not easy to find the resurrected body of little Jack.

Knight Terry failed to keep up with the city lord and his party last night, and missed the trace of little Jack and the butler Mr. Rocky. His whereabouts are unknown now. Although there is still a chance that he remains in the city lord's mansion, the possibility is greatly reduced.

Because this morning before the four of them went to pick the heads, they had instigated Terry to endure the fear and return to the City Lord's Mansion again, wanting to find Mr. Lodge to find out the situation, but Mr. Lodge had not come back yet, and no one knew where he had gone with little Jack.

As a result, it became much more difficult to find the bodies. Although a city with a population of more than 8,000 people is not large, finding two people with hidden identities is still like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But if Lynch's analysis is correct, since the corpse is so important to old Sven, he is unlikely to let the corpse out of his control for too long. In order to sneak attack the fortress and release the infected last night, he temporarily left the corpse for a while, but once he has the chance, he will definitely return to the corpse as soon as possible.

If we could find old Sven, we'd probably find the body.

That's why there was an ambush yesterday against the possible mastermind.

Although Lynch almost got himself killed, he still felt that it was all worth it. After all, he didn't die, and he also got the other party's fresh blood.

[Secret Technique: Blood Trail]

Fresh blood that has flowed out of a wound no more than five minutes ago will be specially processed and preserved. Within twenty-four hours, the location of the owner of the blood can be sensed through secret methods.

The requirements for spell materials are extremely demanding, so this secret method is not practical. Fortunately, Miss Diana has learned it, and last night's ambush was a great success.

Officer Natalie pulled out a small glass bottle with dried blood at the bottom.

Even though the bottle was sealed, one could still smell a foul odor, the unique smell of ghoul blood. This was last night's harvest, old Sven's blood, and perhaps he could use it to find the body.

But throwing everything at the table is a very dangerous move and will most likely fail, so everyone decided to implement both strategies at the same time.

Dr. Swain was responsible for preparing as many medicines as possible, and Knight Terry and his soldiers were responsible for organizing the people of the city to come to the fortress to receive the medicines and take them on the spot.

This time it is much easier. There is no need to distinguish whether someone is injured or infected. Everyone in the city will be infected, so everyone must take the medicine.

It is actually very difficult to organize a full-scale vaccination campaign in this era. No one has experience, including Diana, a professional doctor from the Fifth Age.

But Lynch did. Although no one knew why he had them, he did put forward dozens of suggestions. Although some of them were not applicable to such small cities, most of them were quite targeted. It would be difficult to consider such practical issues without actual testing.

Miss Diana could not help but exclaim that Mr. Lynch was such a treasure man and a natural expert in handling public affairs.

Haha, I just smile and don’t say anything.

Lynch really couldn't answer, but although the source of experience was very subtle, it was effective experience that had been tested in actual combat. It was still easy to deal with such a small scene of 8,000 people. Under Lynch's guidance, the remaining less than 200 soldiers all moved. The whole city was under martial law. No one was allowed to leave their homes without soldiers following them. Then, the people were guided to the fortress to take medicine in different areas, and then returned to their homes under the supervision of soldiers.

But before that, there is one more problem that needs to be solved.

City Lord.

If you want to make such a big move in the city, you must get the consent of the city lord, otherwise it is tantamount to rebellion. Terry must ask the city lord for permission first, otherwise the soldiers may not support him.

But the city lord himself has a lot to do with this matter, can he really agree to it?
In order to prevent Terry from never coming back, the four decided to accompany Terry to meet the city lord first and then track down old Sven.

It would be best if the city lord did not object to martial law. If he did, the four would persuade him. If the city lord really refused to listen, the four also knew some tricks to make people reserve their opinions. Anyway, with Terry as an insider, the defense of the city lord's mansion should not be a problem.

The four of them also wanted to go to the basement again. If they could find the body directly, it would save the trouble of tracking.

Terry hesitated for a while, but finally retained his objection, which shows that the four people's skills are indeed effective.

So the soldiers began to secretly prepare for martial law, and Terry, with four people, walked into the city lord's mansion openly.

The city lord's mansion is a large castle, which completely meets Lynch's imagination of a medieval castle. Life is still peaceful in the castle. The guards are still laughing and joking with Knight Terry, and there is no tension at all.

The group walked deeper into the magnificent castle. When they were about to reach the castle hall on the second floor, Terry suddenly stopped.

A familiar figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Butler Rocky was walking out of the hall where the city lord was and walking along the corridor.

Everyone in the group had seen Rocky, but they found that his steps were a little stiff today. He ignored Terry, an acquaintance who had chatted with him until midnight last night. He lowered his head and passed by several people, only looking up when passing by, which made the group gasp.

There was unspeakable madness in a pair of blood-red eyes.

He was also infected.

In astonishment, Rocky slowly turned around and left, leaving behind only a stiff back.

Lin Qi and his three companions finally understood what it felt like to be a controlled infected person, but...

He came out from inside, but where is the city lord?
Everyone looked towards the castle hall at the same time.
