I have a map editor

Europeans, Americans or blacks have face blindness towards Asians, and he also has mild face blindness towards some facial shapes and appearances of whites and blacks, so he cannot recognize all the people in the convoy, so he numbered the vehicles and just reported the vehicle number when giving directions.

A slight motor sound was heard, and cars No. 3 and No. 4 started up and moved closer to cars No. 1 and 2.

Lucas also quickly took his spray gun from the car, closed the door, and rushed over with a crouched posture.

He has been on high alert these past two days, and has not taken off any parts of his body, so he is ready to go into battle at any time - this shows that the psychological trauma he experienced in the "fog realm" before is not small.

Lucas moved quickly, and although the dry leaves and dead branches in the forest inevitably made a sound of being trampled, it was still within the tolerable range.

When he arrived at the area where crews 1 and 2 were located, he could see that the moving target witnessed by the sentry had walked out of the cover of the ditch and came into a more open field of vision, and was less than a hundred meters away from the defense line.

First he gestured to the No. 1 crew which was very close to him, then Lucas knelt on one leg on the ground and looked through the telescope.

The figures observed through the telescope appeared to be white teenagers. Their clothes were somewhat ragged and they looked a little dishevelled, as if they had been scratched by hooks and tangles. Many scratches could be seen on their bodies, but their heads, faces and exposed skin were dirty, so their specific skin colour could not be seen clearly.

What this means is that we can roughly see that they are white, but the details of their skin cannot be confirmed, such as whether they are bluish, purple, or blue.

However, Lucas was experienced, so he observed their steps and saw that these teenagers were very tired and panicked.

Overall, they should still be human beings, not zombies or other monsters.

He gestured to Car No. 1 to indicate safety, thinking to himself:

"So, it looks like we encountered a monster in town... if there are no attacks from other teenagers in other directions..."

"But at least I have an explanation... I won't be blamed if I return home right now."

Lucas made a judgment in his mind, walked to car No. 1, opened the door, took out the walkie-talkie from the car radio, and ordered the crews of cars No. 3 and No. 4 to go forward to provide support.

"Ed, Green, take the medicine boxes and take them to the open space. Don't expose our arrangements. Check their bodies and ask them what happened in the past two days."

"Copy that, boss"

Two pickup trucks quickly rushed out of the woods, stopped a few teenagers who were approaching in front, picked them up in the cars, and drove to the open space where bonfires had been set for the past two days.

At this time, they finally got something, and the whole rescue team was a little excited. When Lucas returned to his car to continue distributing supplies, Merry already knew what was happening here and was waiting for his reply on the radio.

"Have you found the missing child?"

"Yes, but there are only 5. The specific information is still being confirmed and inquired."

"Uh...why do it sound like they have some questions?" Merry asked hesitantly.

"They must have been attacked by some monster. I don't know what weird things or substances they came into contact with. I don't know if it will have any effect on them, so I will handle it with caution and question them. However, I am short of manpower. After getting the necessary information, I will transfer them to you. You will need to do the follow-up more detailed confirmation and inquiry."

"Are you worried...?"

"Well, in many legends, werewolves and vampires are contagious, so... it's better to be cautious."

Lucas did not mention zombies because the setting of zombies is not popular in this world. Instead, ancient settings such as werewolves and vampires are more accepted by ordinary people in the West. Moreover, Merry has also experienced the "Misty Realm" and fully understands his caution.

In addition to communicating with each other, the two also spoke to other people in the team.

"I see. I'll send someone over to pick them up. You don't have enough manpower, and you'll need to organize a new operation based on the information provided by those children, right?"

"Um"

……

The five teenagers were all boys. Although they were covered with bruises, their injuries were minor. They were desperate to escape and did not avoid the branches, which caused scratches and sprains.

Just clean the wound and it will be done, no need for bandaging.

According to their account, after gathering a group of fearless kids who only wanted to take risks to seek excitement or get rich, Zack led them into the "Misty Realm" and entered this space. It took them a day to drive down the mountain and they also discovered the ruins of the town from a distance.

However, unlike Lucas's caution, they broke into the town without any scruples, searching the ruins without concealing their whereabouts... or looting them.

The ruins of the town were littered with human corpses that had turned into skeletons - this was beyond Lucas's expectations. In his opinion, given the dryness of this space along the way, even if there were corpses, they should be well-preserved mummies, not bones.

Also, at least all the teenagers thought those were human corpses and not some other creature.

Lucas believed their judgment on this point, because he knew that there was a complete human skeleton specimen in the physiology class of Crown Eagle High School. Emily once complained to him that this thing was too scary. Even if there was a cognitive error, it was not far off.

There are a lot of treasures in the ruins of the town, and the buildings are full of silver and even gold utensils. The more gorgeous the building is and the larger it is, the more treasures can be found inside, and the corpses are also covered with precious ornaments.

These confused the minds of the young people, and everyone fell into a frenzy of plundering treasures, regardless of their fear of the corpses.

Then, they disturbed the dead.

No one knows who discovered it first. They found the cemetery in the town, which contained an underground mausoleum. According to their habitual thinking, only important people would have such a magnificent underground mausoleum, and that important people must have a lot of valuables buried with them, so they pried open the coffin placed under the mausoleum.

As a result, a horrible skeleton monster wearing armor was released, with strong ghost fire in its eyes and black mist lingering all over its body. It also spoke a strange language to them directly in their heads instead of through sound. Although these naughty kids couldn't understand it, they were greatly shocked and scared to death on the spot.

There was a kid named Sam Wicowiki who was split in half by this monster with a sword. Not in the waist but along the midline, probably including his penis.

After this horrible skeleton monster came out, all the skeletons in the town started moving at the same time as if they were summoned. Well... they crawled up from the ground, removed their ribs or picked up other people's arm bones and leg bones, and transformed them into bone weapons. Then they started to chase and kill the foreign invaders, that is, these naughty kids.

The conventional treasure hunting adventure script suddenly turned into a horror and supernatural script, with the additional horror elements and mental damage. These naughty kids themselves had not received any professional training. They were just a bunch of stupid naughty kids. They had no effective defense or resistance at all. These skeletons were very weak, slow in movement, and had low strength and weight. Even in a panic, they were crushed to pieces by these well-nourished and well-developed teenagers with just physical impacts.

Gunpowder weapons also seem to be able to hurt these undead monsters. These naughty kids all carried weapons stolen from home, most of which were shotguns and shotguns, and a few were bolt-action rifles and semi-automatic weapons.

A shot of a shotgun or a deer hunting bullet will shatter the bones and send debris flying everywhere. It is unknown whether they are dead or not, as they are dead in the end, but it is certain that they have lost their combat effectiveness.

So most of the teenagers escaped from the town. Take the group of five in front of them for example, they relied on ramming and using guns to run all the way to a pickup truck, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the town. However, they were so panicked and frightened that they ran in the opposite direction and crashed into a huge rock. The car was scrapped, but the people once again miraculously survived.

Others didn't know that they had been wandering in the Real Black Forest for two days relying on the supplies in the car. After accidentally seeing the fire, they circled the town and trekked through the twisted dry woods on one side of the mountain for two days. They stumbled all the way and finally found the rescue team. When they arrived here, they had been out of food and water for a day and a half and were on the verge of death.

As for the treasures they found in the town, they had long since discarded them where they were, leaving only a few small items such as a few gold coins and rings on them.

……

It turned out that Lucas' strategy was correct.

The oral accounts of the five teenagers quickly spread among the rescue team. There really were monsters lurking in the town ahead, and they were the legendary undead.

Moreover, they waited here and actually rescued five missing teenagers.

Hearing that there was a large amount of gold, silver and treasure in the town, the members of the "Dad Gang" began to get restless; when they heard that there were real moving skeletons of the undead, Ed, Green and a few other members of the "Dad Gang" who were afraid of ghosts began to retreat.

Ed and Green even shouted that they wanted to leave this damn place immediately. They had already rescued five people and explained to the outside world, so there was no need for them to continue searching.

There was a lot of noise on the car radio. The core members of the "Dad Gang" wanted to explore the town, while another group led by Ed and Green wanted to run away.

"Quiet!"

Finally, Lucas made the decision and shouted in the channel that he and Merry had encountered undead monsters in the previous "Misty Realm", so he was not very worried. Moreover, according to the descriptions of the five teenagers, except for the heavily armored skeleton undead whose depth was unknown,

Other ordinary skeletons should just be summoned minions and monsters, and there is no need to worry.

"It is estimated that the limit of supplies for those children is 10 days. We have only been here for 4 days now, and we must stay here for another week to fulfill our obligations. This is written in the agreement. We are a rescue team first, and treasure hunting second. This is the promise your father gave me. Anyone who wants to violate it can go to that town."

The channel became quiet. The majority of the team members were from the "Dad Gang". This was probably due to old man Colin's personal prestige, but it could also be because Lucas had also built up a certain prestige over the past few days.

His command and response were correct.

"very good"

He continued on the intercom.

"It is now known that the children should be scattered in the mountains and forests around the town, in darkness, fear and hunger. Our mission remains unchanged. We will continue to cut wood and light bonfires to erect beacons of hope and a direction for them to move forward."

"Now I have finished speaking, who agrees and who disagrees?"

No one objected.

Although there were only a few people in the channel, all the crews voted in favor.

0016

Lucas sat in the car with his hands on the steering wheel, his left index finger flicking and clicking the steering wheel.

He is thinking.

The current situation, future form, one's own response strategies, etc.

He had checked on the five teenagers himself.

He is essentially still an ordinary person, but he has some props that can break through human limits. He can neither sense any magical elements nor tell at a glance that the other person is not human. Everything is still based on his experience and judgment.

Information like the summoned skeletons were very fragile, or that the undead monsters had a range of activities could be easily determined based on the boys' descriptions. At this moment, he was not thinking about whether these boys had been bitten by werewolves or vampires.

Now these little guys are wrapped in blankets, sleeping soundly beside the campfire in front. After eating dry food and drinking hot drinks, they couldn't hold on any longer and fell down... This reaction is quite innocent and it is very intuitively confirmed by their confessions.

Lucas was thinking about something else at this moment.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, even dead silent. The only sound in the car was the tapping of his fingers on the steering wheel.

After a long time, he made a decision, took his gun and got out of the car.

The sound of the car door closing woke up the little monster in the back seat. It half-raised itself from under the blanket, took a look, then lay down again, and used its little paws to pat the blanket to make it straight.

Seal yourself back under the warm and comfortable blanket.

……

Lucas seemingly casually called a team member to join him in the daily patrols on both sides of the defense line.

This is a rough-looking white man. In appearance, he is somewhat similar to Thor, the Thor from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but a low-profile version. He has no body management at all. Standing next to Lucas, he is obviously half a head taller than him, but when taken alone, he seems to be half a head shorter than Lucas. Not only is he thick, but he also has a relatively large beer belly.

This kind of physique is the best in the era of cold weapon combat or street fights without guns. In fact, this guy's physical fitness is really good. After following Lucas through the forest for a long time, he was only slightly out of breath.

"Your name is Gideon, right?"

"Yes, Boss."

Walking far away from the defense line, Lucas seemed to talk to him naturally.

"Are these people sent in by Big Dad actually following your orders?"

The two men did not stop, but the question was too abrupt. The sturdy man named Gideon was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He wanted to take precautionary action, but Lucas just turned around and glanced at him indifferently.

"If it were me, I wouldn't just let some muscles in. There must be a brain that can respond to the situation and command the muscles. The brain of that old man Colin is you."

This time Lucas did not use a question form, but spoke affirmatively.

Gideon still didn't speak. He didn't know how to respond, but Lucas didn't stop to wait for him or give him time to react. His steps didn't pause at all.

Seeing this, Gideon subconsciously jogged a few steps to catch up.

"what do you want?"

"Don't be so nervous. We are still teammates so far, right? And there is no conflict of interest. I need your manpower to save people, and you need my experience and guidance..."

Lucas didn't seem to be paying attention to Gideon behind him. He was still patrolling attentively, searching for every suspicious trace on the ground and the surrounding environment.

This further dispelled Gideon's doubts.

"I still don't understand, what do you want?"

"I want to make a deal with you," Lucas stopped and turned to face Gideon.

"What deal?"

"I know you are ready to make a move, whether it is the order of Big Daddy or your own desire for wealth. I will set aside one or two days for you to explore the town or plunder the treasures there before the rescue operation is over. I will tell you all the information I know without reservation. But before that, I need you to restrain the others and focus all your attention on the rescue operation. I don't want to... Ah, shit, there is no place here.

I don't want anyone to sneak out of the team and enter the town privately, causing an undead riot or something like that, thus destroying the entire rescue operation. Deal?"

Lucas held out his fist.

Gideon hesitated. "One or two days is too little time. We have plenty of supplies..."

"No, you don't understand how terrifying those monsters are. Two days is a bit redundant. If you can't finish the search and evacuate within one day, believe me, you will definitely get into big (meow) trouble. I can't guarantee how many of you will survive with the information I told you, but it will definitely greatly increase your chances of killing those undead monsters, that is, the method of killing them. As long as you are not too greedy, it is definitely possible to get in and out quickly and evacuate safely without losing anyone. So, deal?"

Lucas maintained his stance and raised his fist again.

"make a deal"

The sturdy man named Gideon spoke briefly and raised his fist to bump with his.

……

After finishing the patrol and returning to the convoy, Gideon somehow contacted the others, but the whispering in the team disappeared. A few hours later, two pickup trucks came from the mountaintop camp and picked up the five rescued teenagers.

This time they were much faster.

The morning passed like this, but after lunch, more than a dozen missing teenagers who had walked out of the Black Forest area on their own were found on both sides of the defense line.

They all walked, were exhausted, and had scratches all over their bodies. They all saw the fire here and traveled at least a day and a night from afar to get here.

There are also 5 girls among them, which are all 5 girls on the roster made by Lucas. They do not follow the rule of American horror movies that silly, innocent or blonde girls with big breasts must die.

Things happened too fast and too quickly, and there was no time for the situation to turn into food reserves and hot weapons.
