The dark clouds were as dense as black velvet, blocking the sunlight.
There was no rain. The sky was dark, and the gray and withered colors brought about by the season made the place look lifeless.
The last passenger plane slowly descended from the dark clouds, implying that the last batch of passengers who dared to come to the Ancient Capital during the chaos of the undead had arrived.
"Even the airlines are going to stop. Luckily, we managed to catch the last one," Liu Ru let out a sigh as she got off the plane.
She sized up Xianyang Airport with her beautiful eyes … …
Strictly speaking, it was her first time traveling so far away from home. Apart from the international cities like Shanghai and the Magic City, the Ancient Capital had a completely different atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, every passenger has to show their identity and state their purpose of arrival," said a man in uniform sternly as he stopped the two at the exit.
"Did I just fly out of the country?" Mo Fan frowned. He had never heard of such an investigation before.
"It's an emergency, please cooperate," said the man.
"We're here for a holiday, this is my little mistress. I can't tell you who she is," Mofan rejected the man.
Liu Ru blushed when she heard Mofan's reply.
Couldn't he tell a normal lie? What little mistress?
The man's expression stiffened. He had never seen anyone acting so righteous when they were bringing a mistress along.
Liu Ru did not have an identity. According to the official documents, Liu Ru was already dead. It was all the doing of the forensic doctor, Nie Dong.
Liu Ru had turned into a member of the Blood Tribe and left her original life. As such, she had yet to change her identity.
As for the plane … Liu Ru was using her original identity. Interestingly, the airline had a loophole, allowing the dead to board the plane with valid ID.
That being said, even though the Blood Tribe was classified as an undead, after spending some time with Liu Ru, he could tell that she was no different from a human, apart from relying on blood to fill her stomach. She even retained the vigor and vitality of a young woman, a feast for the eyes!
…
It was still daytime. The undead were still sleeping in their graves.
Xianyang was still a distance away from the Ancient Capital. Mo Fan and Liu Ru were too lazy to take a ride. They summoned the Swift Star Wolf and sprinted along the highway to the Ancient Capital.
It was obvious that the Ancient Capital was in a state of emergency. They could even see tall walls being erected in the outer district.
The Ancient Capital was built with walls. The area inside the walls was the city center. Outside the walls were the Wild Goose Pagoda, the Forest of Steles, and other districts. The inner walls were mostly used for sightseeing …
Now, an even larger outer wall had been built outside the inner wall. The diameter of this outer wall was about five times wider than the inner wall. The people who were originally spread out in different districts, including the suburbs, had all requested to move to this outer wall.
"It's my first time seeing such a huge safe zone." Liu Ru raised her head and looked at the outer wall that stretched like a mountain ridge.
........... com mu n der n der city ing the city..... it man der city walls walls......
The outer walls were huge. From where Mofan was standing, it felt like the walls were facing the sky. He could not even see the edge of one of the walls.
He remembered that the perimeter of the inner walls of the Ancient Capital was only around fourteen kilometers long, but the outer walls that covered most of the districts were even longer, completely protecting the entire Great Xi 'an City within it …
The people of the Magic Association were guarding the entrance of the city. The Battlemages were in charge of the investigation.
It was still daytime, so the living were not strictly allowed to enter the city. However, when it was close to evening, the military did not allow anyone to leave the city. Everyone knew that ordinary people would end up as food for the undead if they left the outer walls...
After passing through the outer walls that were heavily guarded, the situation inside the walls was still fine. It was no different from the other cities. However, since the people from the suburbs had all gathered in the same districts, the streets were bustling with activity.
There was a newly built wall that looked like the body of a dragon protecting the city. The citizens didn't need to worry about the bloodshed outside. Or rather, they were already used to such things. They could live as they wished!
…
Mofan did not linger in the other districts. He went straight to the Clock Tower Magic Association.
The Clock Tower Magic Association and the Drum Tower Hunter Union were the center of Xi 'an. They stood firmly in the middle of the inner walls. Mofan initially wanted to ask Zhang Xiaohou's men about the situation, but he felt it was unnecessary. He decided to ask the person who had sent the death message instead …
The person told Mofan that Zhang Xiaohou had disappeared while he was on a rescue mission. His corpse was nowhere to be found, so they did not send any more reinforcements. However, they were sure that the place where he went missing was between the Sunny Goat Village and Hua Village.
The only people who dared to live in the outer walls were the people of the Endangered Tribe. Their villages were still safe and sound. Unfortunately, since the villages did not use modern technology, the transmission of information was extremely slow. It would take a long time for a letter to be delivered …
One of the villagers was the one who sent the news that the whole team was wiped out. The military had no way to verify it.
Mofan chatted with Zhang Xiaohou's instructor, Fei Jiao, for a long time. Fei Jiao tried his best to tell Mofan everything he knew. It was obvious that Fei Jiao was very concerned about Zhang Xiaohou's death, but he was busy with a more important mission, thus he was unable to find out the truth.
"So where are we going?" asked Liu Ru.
"Find a few experienced people to follow us to Sunny Goat Village," said Mofan.
Mofan was unfamiliar with the place. The undead were usually scarier than demon creatures. He needed a reliable team, whether it was to find out the truth or to rescue someone.
Mofan initially planned to find a few experts from the Magic Association, but the people of the Magic Association were not interested in venturing out. In the end, Mofan had no choice but to go to the Drum Tower Hunter Union …
There were plenty of Magicians who were not afraid of death among the Hunters!
The Hunter Union's hall was crowded with people.
Hunters would be wherever the danger was. The more dangerous a place was, the more treasures there would be. The Ancient Capital's Hunter Union was particularly active!
Mofan glanced at the rolling Bounty Boards and discovered that 'rescue' was the most popular request …
Many people were still in danger outside the walls due to the undead's rampage. Would those who were already safe be in danger? Would they be willing to pay Magicians a huge sum of money to rescue them?
"Most of the requests are for rescue. It seems like many people are still in danger …" said Liu Ru to Mofan.
"What rescue? They're just collecting corpses," said a hoarse voice.
Liu Ru turned around and saw a short Magician in an 'adventurous' outfit standing beside her. She had to lower her head to see the guy's face due to her height.
