The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

An investigation is not afraid of having too few clues, but having no clues. As long as there are clues, we can always follow the traces.

According to what Vanya knew, the zombies did not appear suddenly, but spread outward from one place, passing through various villages and wastelands.

As for where it came from, he actually had no idea, but he knew the general direction. If he searched in that direction, he would definitely find some useful clues, if nothing else.

A moment later, all the members of the Holy Spear Squad in the wooden house left Vanya's house and went to ask other people in the village. It was impossible for them to come to a village and only ask one villager.

The original plan was to come here first to understand the situation. Nothing can be solved if we are completely in the dark.

There are not many people in this village, but it is not possible to interview all of them in a short period of time, so the team members decided to use a sampling survey method.

This completely random sampling survey method is just right for the current situation. Each villager has an equal chance of being selected, and the information each person knows will not differ too much.

Although their combat uniforms were a bit strange, the weapons they carried could not be fake. In the friendly and harmonious communication, the villagers who were lucky enough to be drawn tremblingly told the news they knew.

Although these messages are similar, there are always some differences, and what they need are these different messages, only in this way can they piece together more clues.

After a while, after briefly questioning more than ten villagers, the team members returned to Vanya's cabin one after another. After confronting each other with the information they had investigated, they left the cabin together.

This is just the starting point and we can't stay here forever. Besides, it's better to customize the plan on the armored vehicle. Before leaving, Vanya thanked him profusely.

After saying goodbye to the middle-aged man they rescued today, the Holy Spear Squad remained silent along the way. They only relaxed when they returned to the hiding place of the armored vehicle.

After all, we were in front of outsiders just now, so I naturally couldn't speak without restraint or casually.

Although the secret of the supernatural appearance is no longer a secret, the secret of the supernatural is still a secret. Although the two look similar, the inner meaning is very different.

They could still explain themselves by pretending to be a special team, but if they directly revealed their supernatural identities, unforeseen dangerous problems might arise.

It is better to have less trouble than more. Sometimes, concealing things is not to harm others, but to protect them.

"Captain, what should we do next?"

After they exchanged the information they had gathered, a woman who looked a bit like a younger version of Irina Shayk asked a question that couldn't be more classic.

"Hmm..." Matvey was stunned at first, and then unconsciously looked at Arthur who was sitting silently beside him, but Arthur just looked at him and nodded without saying anything.

Seeing Arthur like this, Matvey took a deep breath. He knew that the next action would depend on his thoughts. After all, this was an exercise for them, and they couldn't rely on Mr. Arthur for everything.

Glancing at his teammates and seeing the encouragement and affirmation in their eyes, Matvey said calmly, "Since we have some clues, we need to follow them."

"Zombies are not trained agents or spies. They don't have anti-tracking skills. Of course, they don't have the brains. After all, their brains are rotten." After telling a joke that was not funny, Matvey put aside his embarrassment and continued his rational analysis.

"So the traces they left behind are definitely still there. According to the results of the investigation from the villagers, the zombies all started from one location and spread outward. Our current mission is to go to the location where the zombies appeared."

"If you come across a village or something on the way, you can stop and ask some questions. If you still haven't found anything after ten days, then this mission will be considered a failure."

This was not Matvey's alarmist statement, but an order that had already been issued long ago.

Although Emperor Lucia sent them to investigate, it was obviously impossible to drag on without finding out anything.

You have to know that Volgograd is now under lockdown, and the nearby villages are all too scared to take care of themselves. He is the leader of a country, and it is impossible for him to do nothing under such circumstances.

Giving them ten days was the greatest effort the emperor had made. If they still found nothing within ten days, the emperor could only send troops to rescue the area.

And their investigation mission naturally failed.

Ten days may seem like a long time, but to find out the reason for the appearance of the undead in this vast wasteland, we must work day and night and seize every minute.

This is their trial, the trial of the Holy Spear Squad.

Chapter 322 Encountering the Corpse King

The scenery of the wilderness is usually unchanging. The changes of the four seasons are not obvious here, and even the temperature fluctuations are not too big. It is cold and dry.

The white-painted armored vehicle with a black base was speeding across the wasteland. The rumbling sound was like thunder from the blue sky, stirring up the vast and barren yellow. Occasionally, there was a little green in the barren yellow, but this did not make the wasteland pleasing to the eyes.

The drivers in the car changed again and again. After all, it is easy to get tired after looking at the same scenery for a long time, and fatigue driving is absolutely not allowed. Therefore, the members of the Holy Spear Squad took turns driving, and when one driver got tired, the next person would take over.

After a while.

"Captain, there's another skeleton monster ahead."

A team member who was driving suddenly said that this was the tenth undead creature they had encountered. The zombies and skeletons they had encountered before were all sent away by them in one go.

Even the ashes were scattered.

From the initial enthusiasm to the current lack of interest.

Matvey was feeling drowsy sitting in the back. It was easy to get sleepy after eating, especially in the afternoon. After hearing the driver's report, Matvey forced his eyes open, but his eyelids kept blinking.

"Ha~yawn~Who of you wants to deal with that skeleton monster..."

Matvey yawned and squeezed out two tears, then forced himself to wake up and asked.

"..."

But what he got was silence, the sleepy silence spread in the car, and the faint snoring gave the answer.

"Oh, what a miserable life." Matvey muttered to himself as he opened the car window and leaned his upper body out.

Because this is an uninhabited wasteland and there is no bus stop or anything like that, there is not much danger in sticking his body out, not to mention that he is not an ordinary, weak person.

He is an apostle of holy light, whose body is strengthened by holy light!

After his upper body was blown by the cold wind mixed with dust outside the car window, Matvey woke up instantly and the confusion in his eyes completely disappeared.

He scanned the wasteland with his enhanced eyes, and a glaring paleness came into view.

Matvey held the gun with one hand, calmly sensed the holy light bullet in the barrel, and then pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The firing pin instantly hits and squeezes the primer of the bullet. The high temperature and high pressure generated by the ignited gunpowder instantly pushes the Holy Light Bullet out of the chamber.

In the distance, the white figure paused, and then starting from the arms, it slowly turned into black ash on the ground, and was finally blown away by a gust of cold wind, leaving no trace.

"Phew~ we're done!"

Blowing away the wisp of green smoke from the burning gunpowder at the muzzle of the gun, Matvey retracted his upper body. The blow also blew away his sleepiness.

"Let me drive, you take a break."

After knocking on the fender behind the driver's seat, Matvey spoke.

The person in the driver's seat didn't say anything, but the speed of the car slowed down visibly. With a click, the armored vehicle stalled and stopped.

"…I've been waiting for the captain to say this."

The team member in the driver's seat forced his big eyes open as hard as copper bells. He was also very sleepy, and now he could finally take a break.

Matvey, with a grim face, switched shifts with his teammates, and then the armored vehicle continued to drive forward. After such a long time, they didn't know how far they had driven, but except for the first village, they had not encountered a second village yet.

"Hmm? Another undead creature?"

The armored vehicle had not driven far when Matvey suddenly saw a dark shadow in the distance. Because it was too far away, he could only see it vaguely.

"Hey, hey, get up, there's something going on up ahead."

Matvey slowed down the armored vehicle and knocked on the fender behind the seat until he heard a weak response from behind, and then he stopped knocking.

As the car got closer, the figure in front became clearer and clearer. What was originally a blurry black shadow now looked like a person.

"one person?"

Matvey blinked his blue eyes to make sure he was not presbyopic, but as the car and the person got closer, he finally confirmed that it was a real person!

A man dressed coolly and with silver hair.

"Why is there someone here? Isn't he afraid of zombies?"

"Or is it that the person on the other side is not actually a human at all, but is just pretending to be a human..."

In an instant, Matvey's mind raced, but no matter what his guess was, the most important thing now was to stop the car and wake up his teammates.

It is better to be safe than sorry. It is never wrong to be cautious.

After driving the car to the side and stopping, Matvey first woke up his teammates who were all asleep, and then explained his guess while putting on weapons and equipment.

At this time of day, when everyone is hiding and dares not come out, a person suddenly appears walking outside alone. It is problematic no matter how you look at it.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is just a fool or just very skilled and daring. After all, the world is so big that there will always be some incredible weirdos.

After everyone was dressed, the silver-haired man was less than a hundred meters away from them. With their eyesight, they could naturally see each other clearly.

The silver-haired man, the corpse king, already understood a little bit. Even though the combat uniforms were slightly different from the ones he had investigated, the general style was exactly the same. This was an investigation team, and he might have just happened to run into them. But this was not unexpected, and he was not too surprised. The resurrection of the dead would definitely attract these people to come and investigate.

The members of the Holy Spear Squad felt even more uncomfortable when they saw the silver-haired man who showed no signs of panic.

The possibility that the other party is not human has risen to 65 percent.

The waiting time was not long. A distance of about a hundred meters did not even take five minutes. Moreover, the Corpse King walked with big strides. In about two minutes, he arrived in front of the Holy Spear Squad.

"Sir, can I bother you for a moment?"

Matvey took a step forward and stopped the silver-haired man who had no intention of stopping. Looking at the man's delicate appearance, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Without weapons or food, he dared to cross the wilderness alone. No one would believe him if he said he was okay.

The Corpse King was a little unhappy when he was stopped, but his target was not these humans now. If these humans did not do anything to offend him, it was not impossible to let them go.

"No, I'm very pressed for time."

The Corpse King refused directly and was about to leave, but Matvey dodged and stood in front of the Corpse King again.

Seeing the captain's appearance, the remaining five people silently walked behind Matvey and formed a human wall.

"what do you mean?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to have no intention of letting him go, the Corpse King's narrowed eyes became increasingly dangerous. He is very easy to talk to now, but that doesn't mean he can always be so easy to talk to.

"Haha, I just want to shake your hand. We will definitely not stop you after that."

"Oh?"

Facing the silver-haired man's look as if he were a fool, Matvey gritted his teeth and stretched out his gloved right hand. The moment he stretched out his hand, he guided the golden holy light in his body to attach to the glove on his hand.

If it is an ordinary person, the Holy Light is not only harmless, but beneficial. However, if it is an undead creature, the consequences of contact with the Holy Light can be imagined.

Matvey had a good idea. If he guessed wrong, the benefit of the Holy Light would be his apology. If he guessed right, the other party would be exposed to the Holy Light without knowing it and would be eliminated.

But unlike what Matvey thought, the silver-haired man's expression changed the moment Matvey stretched out his right hand.

Sensing the holy aura emanating from the opposite person's right hand, it was a heavy and oppressive aura of golden holy light.

A slit appeared in the Corpse King's narrowed eyes, a blood-red light flashed by, the corner of his mouth raised a little, and he stretched out his right hand.

Seeing that the other party was really ready to shake hands with him, Matvey showed a hint of joy on his face.

"Qiang!!!"

A sound of metal clashing suddenly appeared, and a huge holy sword was inserted between the Corpse King and Matvey, and a male voice was also heard at the side.

"Don't put yourself in danger, Captain Matvey."

The Corpse King withdrew his right hand that was stabbing Matvey with a gloomy face, and the charred color spread from his fingertips.

"Have you discovered me a long time ago?"

"Haha, after all, I'm not a newbie. Although I wasn't the first to notice it, the aura on you is really hard to ignore."

Hearing the conversation between Mr. Arthur and the silver-haired man opposite, Matvey reacted instantly, drew his gun and retreated.

"You are really not a human being, and..." Matvey's face looked a little ugly, and at the same time he felt a little ashamed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arthur, I was still careless."

"It's okay. After all, you have just obtained the divine power. It is normal that you cannot sense these unpleasant auras. But every failure is a lesson. Don't put yourself in danger next time."

"Been taught a lesson."

"Have you guys talked enough?" Feeling that his right hand had almost recovered, the Corpse King suddenly interrupted.

But before anyone could answer, the Corpse King suddenly rushed forward and stabbed Arthur who had just come over, getting rid of the most threatening person first and then dealing with the others.

"Haha, you really don't know how to choose your opponents!"

Seeing the corpse king attacking him, Arthur sneered and then immediately got into a stance. You know, he was not a big fool who only knew how to use a sword and would not know any attacking methods if he lost his weapon.

His fists are very strong.

"Euler!!!"
