Soul echo

Chapter 380 The Truth

The gnawed corpse beyond recognition in the corridor behind the chapel made Zhong Ye realize that the living corpses in the church may have eaten human flesh, and in this case, there is no need for them to live.

Living corpses that have eaten human flesh, or in other words, 'eating' will become stronger, whether it is the chapel or the living corpses on the upper floors, they all show this characteristic.

After discovering that they had this characteristic, Lily felt terrified.

Even if she was a princess, she worked hard enough, but it took her more than 20 years to approach the level of a superhuman.

And this group of living corpses infected with the plague can gain the physical fitness and ability equivalent to veterans just after eating once.

Although they can't fully display these powers, their number is extremely huge!
There are eighteen living corpses in the church. Some of them used to be civilians, and some of them used to be priest apprentices of the church. But now, they are all infected by the plague and become walking dead.

Among them, those priest apprentices were the most difficult to deal with, because they had learned fighting skills, and after becoming living corpses, they also possessed some fighting skills. If it wasn't for Zhong Ye, it would be a bit difficult to eliminate them.

The only good thing is that they don't have any brains, they just go straight.

But at the same time, they are not afraid of death, and everything only serves their own 'appetite'.

Even Zhong Ye couldn't figure out which evil god they were born from—the father of fruit?Lord of War?Lord of Pleasure?Or, is it the king of conspiracy?
It seems that every evil god of the abyss has put their own mark on this plague, messing up the situation.

"The church once housed the infected, but with the outbreak of the plague, the church also fell."

A statue of a domestic goddess stands in the chapel, and the natural light through the glass enters the hall, reflecting the statue's face brightly.

The statue is not damaged at all, and there is not even a speck of dust on it, which means that the goddess of domesticity is still sheltering the church.

But for some reason, He failed to protect his believers.

Zhong Ye and the others went around the church and found eighteen living corpses and six corpses, among which only the corpse of an official clergyman was found.

Judging from the size of this church, the church in Constantia has at least five official priests, one priest, and an uncertain number of apprentices, but it should also exceed six.

At present, not all of the clergymen who have died or turned into living corpses are clergymen in the Constantia Church, indicating that the remaining clergymen have successfully evacuated from the church.

"Judging from the situation in the church, the plague should have erupted suddenly, but the sequence of the outbreak may be somewhat different from what we imagined."

After cleaning up the chapel, Zhong Ye and the others found a fairly clean room, sat down to rest for a while, and sorted out what happened by the way.

"We found no corpses or living corpses in the farm outside the city, indicating that at that time, Constantia still had the ability to deal with corpses and living corpses, which also means that the farm may be the first outbreak of the plague One of several places."

Lily and Lilian nodded in agreement. Judging from the information found so far, this is indeed the case.

"Then here is the church." Having said this, Zhong Ye paused, took a deep breath and said, "I suspect that the clergy abandoned the church before the plague broke out."

"Why do you say that?" Lily asked suspiciously, "This is a church. How could the priests abandon the church?"

Zhong Ye took a deep look at her, "Do you think this kind of thing is really impossible?"

Looking at his firm eyes, Lily couldn't help but hesitate a little.

"This kind of thing is possible!" Lilian said, "As long as all this is the instruction of the goddess of the family!"

Goddess of domesticity instructing her followers to abandon their churches?

To Lily, this kind of fact is extremely absurd, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.

The streets are full of wandering living corpses. Under such circumstances, even if the living corpses in the church are eliminated, there is no way to leave Constantia.

If they stay in church, they're stuck here, they can't go anywhere, they can't do anything.

Then, why did the priests of the house church run away instead of destroying the living corpses in the church?

The answer to this question can be imagined - the goddess of family has foreseen the full-scale outbreak of the plague, no matter whether the priests clean up the living corpses in the church, it will not affect the outbreak of the plague, on the contrary, it will drag the priests Their actions made it impossible for them to escape in time.

With Zhong Ye's in-depth investigation, the situation of Constantia gradually became clear.

Although these are just their guesses now, Zhong Ye believes that these guesses are close enough to reality, and the only thing left is to get direct evidence from the evacuated priests.

After resting for a while and recovering the exhausted energy, Zhong Ye and the others set off again.

Before leaving the church, they went to the warehouse to get rid of the living corpse in the warehouse, and then climbed over the wall on the other side.

The number of living corpses outside the wall on this side is much less, perhaps because they were attracted by the screams of the living corpses on the other side.

In this way, it will be much more convenient for them to pass here.

Lilian jumped down first, walking through the group of living corpses agilely and nimbly, no matter how many living corpses surrounded her, she could find a loophole to escape.

She ran to the side of a room as fast as she could, flipped over several times deftly, and jumped onto the roof.

At this time, Lily also jumped down, and when she landed, she swung her ax spear, pushed all the living corpses out with her blunt face, then used her hands to protect her face, and charged forward.

She was wearing a half body armor, and her hands were also wearing armguards. The scratching of the living corpse could not harm her body at all. Even if it passed through the gaps in the armor, it would only fall on the heavy clothes—it was still winter, and the temperature was very high. Low.

Lily Lieber rushed to the foot of the house where Lilian was. When she looked up, she saw a rope hanging down. She jumped up and grabbed the rope.

The huge weight almost tore Lilian down, but fortunately, she circulated her breath in time to stabilize her heels.

When Lily climbed onto the roof, Zhong Ye also jumped to her side, and picked up her weapon conveniently.

The three continued to set off, letting the living corpses roar on the ground.

Their aim was Lake Constance, which lay on the east side of the city, just opposite the direction from which they had entered Constantia—they had come from Schaffhausen, which lay west of Constantia.

Compared with the walls of the church, the roofs of these houses were not so high, and in some places, stones or wooden boxes were piled up, enough for living corpses to jump onto the roof by mistake.

After leaving the church, there have been living corpses hanging on the street beside Zhong Ye and the others. Their roars attracted more living corpses. After the three living people, they also dropped the food.

What's more, humans are not the only ones who can be infected with this plague!
Flutter Flutter!

A bird fluttered down from the sky with its wings, and was held in Zhong Ye's hands, and when he pressed it hard, his head shattered.

One bird was crushed to death by Zhong Ye, but more birds fell from the sky.

Zhong Ye silently drew out the straight knife, and used the blade to weave a blocking net above his head. All the birds that tried to pass would turn into pieces and fall on the roof.

On the side, Lilian was doing the same thing.

It's just that her movements are more subtle and dexterous than Zhong Ye's. She didn't try to weave a 'knife net' like Zhong Ye did, but used her light sword to accurately kill every bird that came down.

Lily stood by their side, beating down those living corpses that accidentally hit and climbed onto the roof.

They were not far from the lake, and from here they could see that there were many living corpses gathered by the pier.

And on the lake, there are several boats floating.

"rush!"

Hearing Zhong Ye's resolute voice, Lily turned around to catch the thrown weapon, jumped off the roof first, and with a swing of the ax and spear, all the living corpses gathered on the street were blown away.

After Lily made a clearing, Lilian also jumped down, and Zhong Ye followed behind, temporarily intercepting all the birds in midair.

Lily led Lilian to run amok among the living corpses. Seeing that they were about to leave, Zhong Ye also jumped off the roof and rushed forward.

During the run, he shook off the blood on the straight knife, put it back into the scabbard, grabbed the handle of the long knife with his backhand, and pulled it out suddenly.

Zhong Ye's figure passed Lilian and the others, and took over Lili's breakthrough task, using the back of the knife to knock down the living corpses one by one.

At this time, they were only one long street away from the lakeside!
