Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

The father and son Huggins Bernie, who were startled by the undead emerging from the mountain, cut down a few clumps of khat without thinking, then hastily packed up the harvest, hurriedly carried the truck down the mountain and drove back to the town.

As soon as they entered the gate of South Town, the father and son heard all the townspeople who set up roadside stalls talking about the undead who will soon enter the town.

The father and son looked at each other, quickly parked the scooter on the side of the road, and leaned over to listen, sweating profusely.

Hearing that those undead did not hurt anyone or rob anything, Huggins and his son's heart fell into their stomachs hanging in the air...

People in small places are unreasonable when encountering unexplainable unlucky things; everyone will instinctively use the simplest and crudest way to explain the phenomenon they cannot understand, and subconsciously find the most suitable bully to bear the burden. all responsibility.

In case those undead harmed the people in the town, or caused any trouble in the town, then Huggins Bernie didn't even need to think about it, he knew that their father and son would become the targets of all the townspeople to blame—— Who made the undead appear in the kata grass slope of Bernie's house in the first place!

"These undead are the ones mentioned on the radio... Tarantan undead, right, father, will run around in our Adler territory, and will not attack people. No matter how you think about it, there are only Tarantan undead .”

On the way home with the cart, the son said to the old Huggins in fear: "Fortunately, we were all scared and stupid at the time, and didn't throw the scythe at those undead... I remember what those traders said, Tarantan The undead are never soft on those who dare to attack them."

Huggins blushed, and shouted in a low voice: "What do you mean by being frightened? It's obvious that we recognized that it was the undead of the lord from the beginning! How could we be so rude to the undead soldiers of the lord? !"

The son gave his father a strange look, reluctantly.

Kata Town is a small town developed around the land commercial road in the mountains. The center of the town is run through by a spacious commercial road. There are large and small stone houses built along the terrain; the stone house of Bernie's family is in an alley called Jam Lane.

There are about [-] households in Jam Lane, most of them are engaged in feed households like Bernie's family; seeing Bernie and his son returning so early, the women sitting at the door of each family weaving straw sandals and spinning sacks of sackcloth are very surprised.

Old Huggins' wife, Mrs. Bernie, got up and opened the gate, asked her husband and son to pull the cart into her yard, and closed the gate. Mrs. Bernie hurriedly checked the hands and feet of her son and husband tied with burlap strips: "Come back So early, did you get injured on the mountain? Let me see."

When the men in feed households go up the mountain, they wrap their arms and legs with long burlap strips, which are similar to the leggings and wrist guards worn by the ancient Chinese mountain people; one is to prevent the skin of their hands and feet from being scratched by the khat Injuries, anti-insect snake bites, and second, it can also protect the wrists and ankles when carrying heavy objects up and down the mountain.

"No." Huggins impatiently explained to his wife, waved his wife away and asked eagerly, "Didn't the undead come to town? What are those undead doing? Have they ever been to our house? "

Mrs. Bernie was still dissatisfied with her husband's perfunctory, but she got excited when she heard this topic: "That's right, I showed up in the town more than an hour ago! I was packing the twine at home and heard the noise in the street outside. No, I ran out to see it quickly, guess what I saw? The undead of Tarantan in the radio story came to us!"

"And then?" Huggins asked.

"What later?" Mrs. Bernie asked strangely.

"What did those undead do afterward?"

"It's nothing, it's just in our town." Mrs. Bernie said, "The kid from Tommy's house next door wanted to run away with those undead, and was dragged home by his wife. Also, the grocery store in the opposite alley The son ran to hang around the undead, and the undead frightened him away after seeing him. He usually bragged about being brave and going to be a mercenary in the future. I think it would be good for that kid to take over his grocery store. It's..."

Huggins couldn't listen to the woman's nonsense chatter, so he ordered his son to stay at home and process the cut khat before going out by himself.

Normally, Huggins is not such a curious person; but this morning he had just thought of taking his whole family on an "adventure" in the big southern city, when the ghosts of these lords appeared in the town, Huggins couldn't help thinking wildly.

Why did those undead come to the most remote town of Kata in the whole territory?That's Huggins' biggest concern.

Kata Town is far away from the most prosperous central and eastern regions of Adler, but the news is very well-informed - after all, there are caravans passing by here for more than half of the year, regardless of whether the locals care about the outside world or not , The outside news will also flow in continuously.

For example... the residents of Dutata City may not be able to clearly explain the reasons for the drastic changes in the southern wilderness, and the changes after the drastic changes. The people of Kata Town have heard the spittle of passing merchants countless times.

Since the War of Protecting the Country 200 years ago, when the Lord of Adler, the Ezekiel family, decided to shrink the wealth of the people in the territory, some villages have been left sporadically in the north due to the relationship with the Tachia Territory. This town of Kata, which lives on trade routes; in the south, there is really nothing left...

Otherwise, the land in the south would not have been turned into a base camp by slave traders.

The year before last, since the summer, the townspeople in Kata Town have heard passing merchants mention what happened in the south.

Tarantan's undead sneaked into (actually abducted) to the headquarters of the southern slave black market, killed (actually captured) all the slave traders overnight, and robbed (rescued) all the slaves. What a shock...

Until last summer, the people of Kata Town heard that the southern part was taken over by officials sent by the Innad Lillion, and some poor people were recruited from the central part to open up wasteland.

By last fall, when the caravan returning from the south mentioned the once desolate and useless southern wilderness to the people of Kata Town, their words turned into praises of the place—abundant, not inferior to Du Tata The delicious food in the city, the vibrant new town, the fertile fields, a large number of farmers, forest owners, orchard owners... and so on.

With such an astonishing change, the people of Kata Township sighed enviously that people living in the south are really lucky.

During this period, I also heard that Adler had replaced a new lord, that the consul of Du Tata City was an undead, that the family of a famous noble lord from his ancestors was cleaned up, that the manor and horse farm of the noble family was confiscated by the city hall, etc. The news... is not as good as the changes in the southern wilderness, which is more worrying for the people of Kata Town.

After all, the original conditions in the south were worse than those in the north. The south became a place of wealth that the merchants said was not inferior to the middle and east. Naturally, the townspeople in Kata Town in the north would murmur—such a good thing, how could it not be possible? What about the northerners?

This time, the undead of Tarantan suddenly appeared. Most of the townspeople were just surprised by Nahan. Huggins Burnie, who was considered an elderly man among the common people, thought too much.

"Master Undead Consul of Dutata City, have you finally thought of us people in the north?"

Old Hudgens, who was striding down the street, looking for signs of the dead, had this idea over and over in his mind.

His memory hasn't faded yet, he remembers what those passing merchants said - it was because the undead first appeared in the south that they began to be rich!

The town of Kata, which is only one block from Dutata City, is small, and Huggins soon found the undead.

Then, after seeing the crowds of undead in sharp armor, this feeder, who was full of excitement and excitement, his blood boiled down quickly—he didn’t dare to lean over at all. , instead, he instinctively turned his toes when he was far away, and jumped into the nearby alley...

About a dozen undead, working together to carry the dead body of a boa constrictor at least twenty meters long, ran across the street in a hurry.

The group of undead turned, and old Huggins emerged from the alley dry-mouthed.

"What are they doing?"

"I don't know, where did they find such a big snake?"

"Hey, it seems that such a big python has been told by someone before...?"

Old Huggins, who was so nervous that he couldn't help sweating, heard the whispers of several townspeople who hid by the roadside, and suddenly trembled: "That big snake—the king of Snake Valley?!"

"Old Huggins, you know that snake?"

In Kata Town, which has a total population of more than 2000, the townspeople are familiar with each other. Seeing Huggins' voice, the few townspeople who gathered on the side of the road to watch the excitement all looked over.

"Have you forgotten? The snake king that a country hunter saw a few years ago!" Huggins Burney said excitedly, "This snake is entrenched on the road from our town to Sheguo Village. The nearby valley was originally There are so many snakes, some hunters immediately called that valley Snake Valley after seeing the snake king!"

When Huggins said this, other townspeople also remembered.

"My God, the undead ran to the Snake Valley and captured the Snake King?!"

"Ah, without this King Snake, people from Sheguo Village don't have to travel so far when they come to the town to sell grain."

"I don't know if this year's wheat can be cheaper..."

Huggins couldn't care less about listening to what other people had to say. The old feeder stared at the direction in which the undead were leaving, struggled for a while, and then bit the bullet and followed.

Turning the corner of the street and turning into an alley half surrounded by mountains with few people, old Huggins saw the stone houses where the undead came and went from a distance.

It was the stone house of the Tinker's family, and it was vacant when the Tinker died and his son moved to the country.

Because this stone house is in the deepest part of the alley and its location is not very good, it has been vacant. Last year, Huggins heard from his wife that the stone house of the tinker’s house was bought, but the house I didn't see anyone living there, and I didn't see anyone coming in or out. I wondered where the money came from being taken advantage of.

Now, the puzzle is solved.

Huggins swallowed, and groups of undead came and went in and out of the stone house with the open door like ordinary people. Even if they knew that these undead were Tarantan undead who would not attack people casually, it took a lot of courage to get close.

The doors and windows of the few houses in the alley were tightly closed, and the curtains were drawn down; no one dared to approach this alley except for the old Huggins who walked to the entrance of the alley.

Huggins was hesitating, when there was another "cha, cha" sound from behind.

Knowing that the sound was the footsteps of the undead, Huggins instinctively ran to the courtyard wall of a house on the side of the road, leaning his back against the wall, nervously watching the undead turning into the alley.

There were about six or seven of these undead, all of them were carrying big stuffed backpacks, and in their bone claws were carrying bamboo utensils and woven bags that were also stuffed with some common herbs.

When passing by Huggins, some undead glanced at Huggins, pointed at him and said something.

Huggins' heart almost jumped out of his throat...

Fortunately, these undead didn't intend to deal with him, and hurried past Huggins.

"Hey, why does this commoner NPC look familiar, where does he seem to have seen it?"

"Don't make trouble, be careful to interact with NPC and affect the mission."

"oh oh."

"Why are there so many errand branches in this broken mission? How many missions have we done?"

"It's still early...Counting Brother Yao's side, I just got four..."

"Fortunately, I have the prestige of the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise this kind of feather task would really be impossible..."
