"Liangxi Village was massacred by pirates last night, and all the villagers died!"
Zhang Qian said anxiously.
Long Chen was stunned, Wu Jian and Jin Luo were also stunned.
how so?
Didn’t you break into the pirate’s lair last night?
How is it possible that there is still a pirate massacre village?
“Go check it out!”
If the village is massacred, it means there are still pirates on the loose and must be hunted down immediately.
Jin Luo was planning to leave, but at this time he followed Long Chen and ran towards Liangxi Village.
Long Chen only brought Wu Jian, Zhang Qian, Jin Luo, Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu to the camp. Bai Tingting had not sobered up yet.
There were not many soldiers, only Wu Jian's cavalry guards, all of whom were cavalry and were very fast.
Even if there were pirates, their numbers wouldn't be large. The most important thing was to kill them quickly, so Long Chen only brought a small number of elite cavalry.
A group of people galloped towards Liangxi Village on flying horses. Dark clouds hung low in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain at any time.
In late spring, it rains continuously.
An hour later, Long Chen arrived in front of a village. There was a mountain to the west, and two streams flowed through it and flowed into the sea. The village was in the middle, close to the sea.
This is how Liangxi Village got its name.
Stopping at the entrance of the village, Long Chen pricked up his ears and listened quietly. The village was very strange, lifeless, not even the sound of insects.
"Really slaughtered?"
Wu Jian said angrily.
Long Chen always felt something was strange, but he couldn't put it in words.
"Walk!"
Long Chen rode his horse into the village, and it was quiet inside.
"It's strange. The pirates massacred the village but didn't set it on fire?"
Zhang Qian felt very strange.
During the war, the soldiers and bandits were one family, and the soldiers would also steal food and women. Murder and arson were like twin brothers.
If the pirates massacred the village, these houses would definitely be burned down, and it would be impossible for them to be so intact.
"Why is there no body? Where is the body?"
Jin Luo looked around strangely.
Long Chen finally remembered that the strangest thing was not that the village was very quiet, but that the village was too complete, with the houses intact and no dead people on the road.
Long Chen walked to the door of a house. The house was low, made of bricks and tiles, with wooden boards on the roof and stones on top to resist the sea breeze.
Long Chen dismounted and pushed open the door. There was a smell of blood inside and there were blood stains on the ground.
Wu Jian ordered the knights to guard him and followed Long Chen into the house.
Zhang Qian leaned over to check the bloodstains herself, and followed the bloodstains to the bedroom. There were also bloodstains on the bed board, and there were traces of a fight around. The window was smashed, and the bloodstains went out along the window.
"This blood stain doesn't look like it was caused by a sharp knife."
Zhang Qian came to a conclusion after careful observation.
If you are injured by a sharp blade, the blood will flow quickly, and there will be dots of blood on the ground, as if it was bitten by a wild beast.
Long Chen left the house, walked around behind the window, and followed the blood trail to another house.
It was also a mess inside. A knife fell on the ground and there was a little blood on it.
"It's so strange. How many pirates have come?"
Jin Luo scratched his head and couldn't understand. This fighting scene was too strange.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "What a strange scene. Who said the village was massacred here?"
Zhang Qian said: "He is an old fisherman. He has a friend here. In the morning he passed by to visit his friend and found that all the people here were missing and there were blood stains in the room. He told us that the village was massacred by pirates.
"
Long Chen continued to search along the blood stains, but strangely he didn't find a person or a body.
"Woof woof woof..."
Suddenly a big yellow dog jumped out, barked at Long Chen a few times, and then ran away with its tail hanging down.
Wu Jian drew his sword nervously, and then he sheathed it after seeing clearly that it was Huang Gou.
"Where have the people here gone?"
Jin Luo looked more and more strange.
Long Chen watched the big yellow dog slip away and followed it from behind until he reached a cave outside the village.
The big yellow dog looked back at Long Chen warily, and then entered the cave.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Long Chen smelled a strange smell, and Zhang Qian quickly covered her nose.
There were footprints and bloodstains at the entrance of the cave, and a cold wind blew out of the cave.
"Is it inside?"
Jin Luo looked inside, but it was too dark inside the cave to see clearly.
Wu Jian shouted into the cave: "People inside come out, or I will set fire to it!"
There was no response from the cave, only the big yellow dog barked twice.
"grown ups?"
Zhang Qian asked what Long Chen meant.
Long Chen pointed to the shed next to him, which contained firewood collected by the fishermen, and said, "Light a fire and throw it in!"
Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "If there is someone inside, they will be poisoned to death. How about I go in and take a look?"
Long Chen said resolutely: "Throw the fire in!"
Zhang Qian and the others immediately brought firewood, stuffed it into the hole, and lit it.
The big yellow dog inside saw the fire and barked in fright.
The firewood was lit, and although there was smoke, it also illuminated the dark cave, and villagers could be vaguely seen lying inside.
"Sir, there really is someone!"
Zhang Qian put out the firewood anxiously.
Long Chen picked up some pine wood and made it into a temporary torch, and said: "Lao Wu and Lao Jin follow me, Zhang Qian is on guard outside!"
Holding the torch, Long Chen entered the cave, and the big yellow dog retreated to the corner, grinning and growling.
Long Chen ignored the big yellow dog and squatted down to check on the lying villagers.
These villagers were lying quietly, their postures were very messy, one on top of the other, they were men, women, old and young.
Some people's arms are bent, and some people's legs are bent.
Wu Jian looked carefully and said in surprise: "These people are all dead! But why are there no stab wounds?"
Jin Luo also felt very strange and said: "These people seem to have been bitten by something. Were they bitten by this dog? Is this a mad dog?"
Jin Luo knew that rabies was very serious, and if bitten he would almost die.
He suspected that the death of these villagers was related to the big yellow dog.
Long Chen didn't speak. He was very shocked at this moment. He had an extremely bad guess.
Long Chen pulled out the short sword from his waist and stabbed it into the villager's body. There was no reaction and no blood flowed out.
The clothes of a corpse were cut open and there were teeth marks inside.
Long Chen pried open the mouth of another corpse, and the two canine teeth were obviously longer.
"how so?"
Long Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"What did your lord find?"
Wu Jian asked.
Long Chen didn't say anything. He rummaged through the pile of corpses and finally found a corpse wearing animal skin at the bottom.
The corpse's hair was very long, and its appearance was obviously different from that of the villagers. The biggest difference was the skin. The corpse's skin looked like old animal skin, and its canine teeth were exposed outside its lips.
"Drag him out, wrap your hands with a cloth and be sure not to touch him."
Wu Jian and Jin Luo worked together and dragged the body outside.
When Zhang Qian saw the corpse, she asked in surprise: "What... is this?"
At first glance, this body was not that of a local villager.
There were dark clouds in the sky, covering the sun, and a light drizzle falling.
Long Chen looked at the corpse and felt an indescribable sense of absurdity in his heart.
The thing in front of me looked exactly like the zombies in the movie, and the death of the villagers in the cave also looked like they had been bitten by zombies.
But isn’t this world an ordinary ancient world?
Why are there zombies?
"I've never seen a body like this."
Jin Luo bent down and wanted to pull the body away, but Long Chen immediately stopped him and said, "Be careful, it's poisonous!"
