Soul echo

Chapter 382
Several ships were sheltered by the power of the domestic goddess, and the birds hovering in the sky could not approach.

This may be the goddess' last mercy to the survivors who have been infected by the plague but have not yet reached the time to attack.

After knowing the whole situation, Zhong Ye and the others did not leave immediately.

Zhong Ye still remembered why he came to this city. These people in front of him may be the last sane humans in Constantia. After they parted, they might never have the chance to meet again.

"I want to inquire about something."

Looking at the crowd in front of him with a complicated expression, Zhong Ye told about those traffickers.

"This one……"

The noble youth and the priest looked at each other, and then looked at the others.

"Do you know anything that might be connected with it?"

People looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhong Ye and the others felt a little disappointed and couldn't help but sighed.

No clues were found here, so, when those traffickers usually transported people, did they bring a large group of people through the wilderness?
If this is the case, when going to other cities for help, you have to pay attention to the situation in the wilderness...

At this moment, a man dressed as a fisherman turned his head to look at another fisherman, and suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, didn't we find some corpses last year?"

"Isn't it normal to have dead bodies in the lake?"

"But there are a lot of corpses..."

The conversation between them naturally caught Zhong Ye's attention. Zhong Ye and the noble youth turned their heads to look at the two fishermen, and the two fishermen suddenly became nervous and silent.

"The corpse in the lake? What's going on?" the noble youth frowned and asked.

"It's just a corpse..." The second fisherman shrank his neck, his eyes flickering.

"Just now you said that there are many corpses?" Zhong Ye also raised a question.

The first to speak, the fisherman who spoke to the second fisherman nodded seriously, "There are so many, there are too many to count."

Hearing these words, the faces of many people present changed.

As a city next to a lake, one of Constantia's staple foods is fish, and it's fish from Lake Constance.

If there are many corpses in the lake, it means that all the fish in the lake have eaten human flesh...

"Now that Constantia is gone, I'll tell you straight - in fact, once the gangs in Constantia kill someone, most of the way to deal with the corpse is to tie stones and throw it into the lake. Anyone who fishes for a living has been warned by them."

After hearing what the fisherman said, everyone fell silent.

The complexion of the noble young man became much uglier. Due to the restriction of the times, even if he was a nobleman, he could not help but eat some fish from Lake Constance.

After a while, the suffocation in his chest was released again, turning into a deep sigh.

It's such a time, even if they know these things, what can they do?
After people had quarreled for a while, and Zhong Ye felt the same, he continued to ask: "... Is there anything special about those corpses?"

"Ah?" The first fisherman who spoke was surprised when he heard this question. Then he recalled a little and shook his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped his head and shouted: "I remembered! They floated here, from above!"

"Floating over?" Lilian frowned slightly, "I remember that the water flow of Lake Constance should be injected from Bregenz in the southeast direction, if it floated from 'above'... the place of corpse dumping should be in Constantia southeast of

Considering the similarity between the game world of "Echo of Soul" and the earth, in order to track down the group of human traffickers, during this period of time, she supplemented a lot of geographical knowledge of Germany and Switzerland.

So, after the fisherman said that, she immediately thought of these things.

It seems that in addition to paying attention to the situation in the wilderness, they may also have to look for clues along the lakeside.

Zhong Ye nodded, "Then, let's go."

The noble youth smiled with relief, "Thank you."

Zhong Ye lowered the rope beside the side of the boat, and let Lily and Lilian climb down along the rope and return to the two sampans.

After finishing these things, he turned around to salute the people on the boat with fists in his hands, and said goodbye solemnly. Then he jumped lightly, allowing the spiritual energy to condense under his feet, made a buffer, and fell into the sampan that Lilian was riding on.

Driven by spiritual energy, the two boats slowly headed south.

There is a city of Hallstatt in the south of Constantia, which is closer to Constantia than Schaffhausen, and it can almost be said to be close together.

Not long after Zhong Ye and the others sailed on the lake, they saw the outline of the city.

It is really puzzling that Kreuzlingen did not find the outbreak of the plague in Constantia so close at hand.

But it may be the reason why Kreuzlingen people will not go to Constantia easily.

—If the priest of Constantia warned the travelers from Schaffhausen, he must have warned Kreuzlingen too.

At that time they didn't know what was going on with the plague in Constantia, but they should have minimized their contact with Kreuzlingen.

And it wasn't long before the plague in Constantia broke out, maybe two or three days later, even if Zhong Ye and the others didn't come to Constantia, someone from Kreuzlingen should go to Constantia to find out.

But by that time, the plague may have spread.

After seeing the silhouette of Kreuzlingen, Zhong Ye increased his spiritual power and accelerated the speed of the sampan.

Moments later, their appearance attracted the attention of people squatting on the edge of the Kreuzlingen pier.

"Where do you come from?" someone shouted from the pier. "Constancia? What's going on there?"

Zhong Ye deliberately opened the mission panel and took a look at the map where the plague spread, and confirmed that Kreuzlingen was already within the scope of the plague.

The color of this town shown on the map is not much lighter than that of Constantia, which shows that the people here have been infected with the plague for a long time, but it has not yet erupted.

"We came from Constantia, where the plague has already broken out."

Zhong Ye's answer shocked the people on the shore. They looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

Before anyone could speak, Lily said loudly, "Where is the church in your town? We have something to tell them!"

The people standing on the pier hesitated for a moment, and several of them turned and pointed towards the east of the town.

The two small boats approached the shore quickly, and Zhong Ye and the others suddenly jumped from the sampan onto the pier. The sampan sank downward, sank into the water, and did not float up again.

The people around the pier hurriedly dispersed, fearing that Zhong Ye and the others might be contaminated with something dirty, which would infect them with the plague.

After landing, Zhong Ye and the others ran all the way in the direction pointed out by the people.

They were pressed for time, and they only hoped to get support before the people on those ships also turned into living corpses.

Seeing Zhong Ye and the others running wildly, the people on the street felt extremely surprised and puzzled. Is this something urgent?
The church in Kreuzlingen is not grand, it looks ordinary, not much different from other houses.

Fortunately, there is also the holy emblem of the Sun God hanging in front of the church, otherwise it would be quite difficult to identify it.

Under everyone's attention, Zhong Ye knocked open the door of the church.

The door was knocked open, startling the believers who were praying in the chapel and the apprentices who were cleaning the church.

"Where is the person in charge of the church?" Zhong Ye shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door, "The plague in Constantia has broken out, we need to activate the communication lines inside the church!"

"plague……"

The apprentice holding the rag tilted his head suspiciously, "Didn't Constantia inform you a few days ago?"

"It's different!"

Zhong Ye walked slowly in front of the apprentice, and said seriously: "The plague has broken out in an all-round way, and now the entire city in Constantia is full of 'living corpses'!"
