The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

Under the control of the Corpse King, only healthy zombies transformed from corpses infected by black air will obey his orders.

Those incomplete zombies, which were neither corpses nor humans, and the infected zombies were not controlled, but continued their unclear actions.

………………

Chita, government building!

"Mayor! Mayor!"

"Those zombies have retreated!"

The officials, whose task was to observe the surrounding areas of the city, hurried to the mayor's office and delivered the good news to the mayor!

For some reason, the zombies that were besieging the city suddenly lost their aggressiveness. Even if someone stood in front of them and hit them, they did not attack. Instead, they turned around and left the edge of the city.

Some of these zombies besieging the city hid in the forest, some fell directly into the icy river, and some even wandered alone in the wilderness.

"And we caught quite a few!" The reporting officer was delighted. "These zombies are easy to catch after they lose their aggressiveness. We caught quite a few zombies that look very powerful."

"In this way, research progress should be able to move forward again. Even if all the zombies disappear, we will not be short of research materials!"

"Very good!" Upon hearing this, the mayor showed a rare look of joy on his face. "Although I don't know why, this way the crisis in our city has been resolved."

"Although we don't know if the zombies will come back again, we are prepared and will never be as passive as we were this time!"

"Wait!" At this point, the mayor seemed to have thought of something, "Could it be that the retreat of these zombies is related to those two?"

Those two were naturally Melina and Arthur. Although they had been on the journey for nearly a whole day, the vows they made before setting off were still ringing in their ears.

"We will definitely find the source of the zombies and resolve this zombie siege crisis!" The mayor repeated Arthur's bold words before departure and then grinned.

"Haha, I didn't expect that they could actually do it. I just don't know how they did it!"

"It's decided. We must hold a grand welcome party for them when they return!"

………………

Chita, inside the sewers.

Alexei leaned against the slippery wall. After so long of escape, he had realized that those commandos were here to capture him.

As for why they wanted to capture him, anyone with a brain could guess that he was precious experimental material. After all, if he was scratched by a zombie, he would definitely mutate into a new zombie.

While on the run, he would occasionally think about just giving up, and turning himself in as an experimental material was better than being a fugitive. But every time he made this decision, a trace of unwillingness would always flash through his heart!

Why is it him! Why is he in such a mess? Why is all this happening?

"Huh...my consciousness is about to blur..."

Alexei made a hoarse sound. During this period of time, he had been relying on eating raw mice to maintain consciousness, but now his corpse transformation was becoming more and more serious.

No matter how much you eat, your consciousness will inevitably begin to dissipate.

"Is this still me?"

Standing beside the sewage pipe, looking at his reflection in the sewage, Alexei said miserably.

"My ending...can only end here?"

Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Alexei smiled sadly, then his body swayed unsteadily and finally fell towards the sewer.

"Puff~"

Dirty water splashed up, and Alexei closed his eyes and sank to the bottom of the sewer.

Where he couldn't see, a long and narrow spider web crack opened up from the bottom of the sewer, and dark granular black smoke floated out of it. As if it had found its target, the black smoke melted towards Alexei's body.

Chapter 306 Return to the City of Thousand Peaks

Chita, wooden house area at the foot of the mountain.

The team returning from the mountain did not stop and drove away in an armored vehicle.

The path to the caves has been marked, so it’s okay to explore again once repairs are completed, although everything of value has already been taken away, but in the end there has been no overly detailed exploration.

Even the inscriptions on the cave walls were deciphered on the spot. There were neither linguists specializing in this area nor cultural relics restorers who could restore the traces. If the relevant departments knew that they treated supernatural records from hundreds of years ago so casually, they would definitely not know what to say.

But there is nothing we can do about it. Who made this happen so suddenly?

On the city streets, a convoy of armored vehicles was driving on the road in a protective manner, and protected in the armored vehicle in the center was Melina, who was holding the Holy Grail steadily.

The Holy Grail could be said to be the greatest gain they had gained on this trip, and even the experience they had gained could be said to be pure luck.

If it weren't for that zombie deer, if they didn't happen to be in the power of holy light, if Shak didn't happen to know Church Slavonic.

It took all kinds of coincidences to obtain the Holy Grail. Of course, the most important thing was Arthur's decision, otherwise the Holy Grail would still be embedded in the center of the magic circle as the core of the seal.

Everyone had different thoughts about this operation. Shaq wanted to get off the car on the side of the road, but was told that he had to report to the government building first.

After all, he was an eyewitness and knew the past records, so he definitely couldn't just get off the car like that. Shaq had no choice but to agree to this, as he had no power to refuse anyway.

The armored convoy was not slow and returned to the military base after a while. Then, they were protected by a military team and went to the government building.

Upon learning that Arthur and the others had returned, the mayor and the colonel naturally warmly welcomed their return, which made Arthur and Melina a little confused.

A few minutes later, after learning what Yama and Melina had experienced, a small meeting consisting of senior government officials and military representatives was held.

At the same time, the Patriarch of Moscow and Empress Lucia were contacted through remote video.

It was just a simple search, but they discovered supernatural forces from hundreds of years ago, and they were supernatural forces unique to their Lucia. This is by no means an easy decision.

The following team had already recorded what they saw and heard along the way with a video recorder, and were playing the recordings from various perspectives on a large screen in the conference room.

While the small meeting was being held, Arthur and Melina took a rest in the lounge of the government building, even putting aside the Holy Grail that Melina had been holding.

Shaq was taken away as soon as he stepped into the government building. After all, he was just an ordinary person with no strength or background.

"Arthur, are we going to stay here?"

Melina lay on the table, looking at the Holy Grail in front of her. To be honest, this Holy Grail was really magical.

Although she had been holding it steadily, there were always some bumps in the road, but the liquid in the chalice did not ripple at all.

If the liquid in the cup had not swayed when she shook it intentionally, she would have thought that the contents of the cup were actually just a solid that looked like liquid.

"Stay here? If it weren't for the Holy Grail, I might still stay here to help." Arthur stood by the window and said in a steady voice.

He was completely different at this moment from the one who had been shouting for help before, and Melina was a little dazed.

It was Arthur who said in the beginning that they wanted to fight against the darkness, because they were on the side of light and so they must show no mercy to the darkness.

At first she thought Arthur was just a middle school student and called zombies darkness, but she didn't expect that there was really darkness buried here.

Now that he has encountered true darkness, he wants to leave here and take away the Holy Grail that seals the darkness. Why can a person change so much?

Which one is the real you?

Melina didn't ask. No matter how Arthur changed, as long as he was still her companion, that was enough.

"Oh, I miss my monastery life so much..." Melina suddenly said in a deep voice, "Back then, I was carefree and just focused on living every day well."

“I don’t know when all this will end.”

Hearing this, Arthur did not respond, but left the window and slowly walked to Melina who was lying on the table.

"This will all end sooner or later." Arthur rubbed Melina's head softly, "Sooner or later we can go home and build the church again."

Melina blushed.

Did he think of himself as a child? She was not really ignorant, she was just reminiscing casually. She felt a little bored in the past, after all, there was not much change every day, and every day was the same.

But when you lose something, you realize how happy we were back then.

"I know, but I feel a little dazed every time I think about it." Melina reached out and grabbed the big hand that was stroking her head. "Every time I woke up, I thought the church was still there, the bishops were still there, and my life had started again like never before."

"But... after the trance, I realized that everything disappeared. It disappeared completely, without any sound. I was not even there when the church disappeared!"

Arthur held the little hand that was holding his big hand with his backhand: "After all, the past is the past. There is no benefit in dwelling on the past. Don't worry, I am always by your side."

"Hmm..." Melina responded softly, feeling the warmth of the hand wrapped around her. She might never really know Arthur, but as long as he was always by her side, that was enough.

"dong dong dong~"

There was a sudden knock on the door. The moment she heard the sound, Melina quickly pulled her hand back, as if Arthur's hand holding was some unspeakable secret.

"Hehe, are you shy?"

Hearing Arthur's teasing, Melina glared at him in shame and anger, angrily slapped Arthur's big hand away, stood up from her seat and walked towards the door.

Take a deep breath

Phew~ After spitting out all the thoughts in her mind, Melina returned to her previous state, walked to the door and opened it.

"The mayor invites you two to the conference room to discuss some important matters." The person at the door was an official who came to inform them.

Hearing this, Melina turned her head and looked at Arthur. After seeing Arthur nodded, she replied, "I know, we'll go right away."

Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to delay. Arthur picked up the Holy Grail on the table and left the lounge with Melina.

The lounge is not far from the meeting room, just two or three floors away.

A moment later, Arthur and Melina, who arrived at the conference room, were told the news that they must now take the Holy Grail back to Moscow, the City of a Thousand Peaks!

The Holy Grail is a serious matter and must be discussed in detail at the headquarters of the Russian Orthodox Church. Staying in Chita would make it more likely that problems would arise.

During the meeting, Arthur once opposed their immediate departure. In his words, as long as the darkness had not been eliminated, they had the responsibility and obligation to stay here.

They are the Lord's warriors, and the darkness has leaked here. The Holy Grail is the key to sealing the darkness, so they cannot be irresponsible.

Finally, with the assurance of Emperor Lucia, Chita would definitely be safe and he would send troops here to eliminate the so-called dark zombies. After hearing this assurance, Arthur reluctantly agreed to leave.

Melina stood aside with her hands behind her back, not saying a word.

Chapter 307 Rotating Gears

Arthur and Melina left anyway, and the helicopter was ready the moment they agreed.

He didn't even wait until the next day, but left this city famous for zombies in the night.

The moment the Chita zombies were exposed, this city, which had been famous for zombies for a short period of time, became famous again. There were news about zombies as early as 2007. Does that mean that supernatural things appeared at that time?

Of course, no matter how the outside world speculates, it is impossible to know that this is just the work of one person.

In order to make the Chita zombie incident more realistic, someone secretly tampered with the memories of some important figures and even added things about zombies to some secret files.

Now, the news about zombies became even more confusing. Someone not only did not feel guilty about this, but instead felt happy.

After doing all this, a certain joy monster came to the city of Chita because he wanted to see something for himself.

"Hiss, it's really cold."

Shenkong, who was wearing the same beach outfit that never changed, shook his body. Although he was not afraid of the cold, he still shook his body to save face.

We still have to give a little face to the Far North.

The moment he stepped onto the street, Shenkong's clothes changed and turned into Lucia's winter-style clothing.

The whole person's face began to change, turning into a pure Slavic appearance, with beautiful blue eyes, snow-white skin, a high nose bridge, thin lips, a curvy body, and long wavy golden hair draped over the shoulders.

That’s right, Shenkong turned into a woman this time. It’s not that he has a perverted hobby, but the person he wants to meet this time is a man, and it always feels weird to approach him as a man.

Although the other person is not a human, you still have to go through the formalities. The one who chats up a handsome guy must be a beautiful girl.

"Although it was my design, it always feels a bit weird when I think that the first thing he did after he was born was to read books and learn knowledge."

Shenkong tightened his clothes, looked at the library in front of him, and walked in without hesitation.

Inside the library, the Corpse King was sitting in a small corner flipping through the book in his hand.

He has now changed into an ordinary human appearance, otherwise if he came in his true form, he would definitely attract attention.

Although my current appearance is not that of an ordinary person.

The corpse king disguised as a human has short silver hair and thick black eyebrows. His eyes have become ordinary sky blue eyes. His skin is fair and his figure is no different from that of ordinary people. In terms of appearance, he is definitely a delicate and handsome guy.

Of course, this fragility is mainly in contrast to Lucia's strong man, who is not as strong as a bear.

Feeling the gazes from all around him, the Corpse King frowned slightly. He had become an ordinary person, so why were there still people staring at him?

Just when he was about to change to another corner to continue reading, a very beautiful woman from a human perspective slowly sat down in front of him.

The visitor opened his thin lips and said in a pleasant voice: "Are you interested in getting to know me?"

Feeling the temptation of the woman in front of him, the Corpse King just found it funny. If he saw his true body, he didn't know if he could still maintain his current expression.
