Players cannot interact with civilian NPCs, but players can still use the "activity rules" of civilian NPCs they "explored" to achieve in the wilderness (yes, these players regard the farmer's pasture as wasteland) to locate NPCs The purpose of gathering points.

An innocent passer-by villager was walking on the path without provoking anyone, when suddenly a group of undead jumped out from the pasture, rushing towards him with teeth and claws.

"My God!"

The passers-by and the villagers turned pale with fright, turned their heads and ran away.

The undead deliberately slowed down, made the sound of "KABAKABA", waved long knives and short swords, and made a fierce pursuit posture.

The terrified villagers couldn't care less about wondering if the speed of these undead was weird, and ran towards the nearest house screaming...

A group of players who could catch up with horses on foot slowly hung behind the villager.

About five kilometers away in a straight line from the place where the undead "terrorized" the villagers, in Heishi Village.

"Sir, do you mean Elan? That's a good guy." The village woman who was sitting at the door of her yard spinning twine became more talkative when she heard about the visitor, "He was a stranger in our village before he went to serve as a soldier." He is a hardworking person, whoever can’t finish the farm work will come to help as long as they are given some food.”

"It's a pity. I heard that he lost the battle and couldn't come back. During this time, the atmosphere in the White family was very bad. I hope their family can survive... Mrs. White hasn't seen her son for seven or eight years. If it were me, I would be miserable as hell."

"Has Elan White not been home all these years?" Captain Miles, who came to the door under the pretext of asking for water, pretended to be curious.

"I haven't seen anyone, but I know that he will ask someone to send money back every year." The village woman said regretfully, "I heard that the debt of the White family is almost repaid. I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time."

Saying goodbye to the village women, Captain Miles wandered around the village for half a circle, and chatted with a farmer who had just returned from the field.

"Are you from the city? To report to the White family? Oh...their family is really unlucky. When they heard from the town that all the people who lost the battle were arrested, they still expected Elan to escape. Well." The farmer sighed, "I watched that kid grow up. When he was a child, he was mischievous and stole potatoes from our field, but it was also because of his family's difficult relationship...their family lost money in those years. There is a lot of money, so I have to borrow money from Master Bud's family to survive, and they are the family that owes the most money to Master Bud's family in our village."

"Master Bud has lent money to many people? It seems that he is a generous gentleman." Captain Miles said calmly.

"Hey." The farmer smiled sarcastically, but he didn't say much to the visitor from out of town. Instead, he said, "White's house is just to the east of the village. Go through this path and the fourth house with a red roof will be there. , there should be someone in the family at the moment, Mrs White always comes back from the farm lunch break to prepare lunch."

Captain Miles didn't ask much, and thanked him politely.

When he walked towards White's house, Captain Miles had already drawn a red line in his heart for Elan White, the first class soldier - there was no notoriety in the city, and none of the neighbors in his hometown complained about him. Naturally, this first class soldier didn't need to Stay in the prison camp.

Next, as long as he visited Elan White's family and informed Elan of his current situation, he could leave Blackstone Village to investigate other targets.

But...the Lord Bud that the villagers talked about always made Captain Miles feel that something was wrong.

Thinking silently, Miles came to White's house.

The red-roofed house of the White family is actually a country house with a thatched roof made of red clay. This kind of red clay, which is common in the north of the Tachia Territory, is sticky and is usually used to make mud bricks and earth walls. People who can't afford tiles will also use them to paste roofs-although the waterproof performance is poor, it is better than nothing.

After knocking on the door twice and waiting for a while, Miles met the mistress of the White family.

The moment he saw this village woman, Miles felt an unreal feeling of trance...

He had seen Elan White, who had registered the corporal.

If memory serves...Elan White is only 27 years old.

But the woman in front of him...is very old, so old that Miles suspects that she is actually Elan's grandmother--orange peel-like skin, cloudy eyes with dense wrinkles around the eyes, and the sunken eyes The temples and cheeks, as well as the thin and crooked body, really did not match the 50-year-old woman in Captain Miles' impression.

Mrs. White felt that someone was looking at her, and she panicked for no reason... Although Captain Miles was only wearing a very common and ordinary civilian uniform, the windproof cap on his head and the suitcase in his hand were also cheap, but The self-confidence of the "city people" still makes Mrs. White feel ashamed.

"Good day, sir, what do you want?" Mrs. White unconsciously grasped the apron with both hands, and quietly retracted her feet covered in dirt.

"Good day, ma'am." Captain Miles took off his windshield and bowed politely.

When Captain Miles visited White's house, it was two kilometers east of Blackstone Village.

Relying on the "leading" of the innocent passer-by villager, the players finally managed to reach Lord Bud's farm.

The frightened passers-by and villagers screamed and fled instinctively to the crowded farm, and the undead, who had been walking around in the wilderness for a long time, rushed to the farm with excited howls.

The farm workers who were scattered around for a lunch break wondered who was yelling, and turned their eyes around... and saw a large group of undead running towards the farm.

workers:"??"

The innocent passers-by who yelled for help were out of breath, and when they were still a long way from the farm, they suddenly heard the wind whistling in their ears.

The undead who had chased him away for a long time passed by him like the wind and rushed towards the farm.

Passerby: "?!"

The innocent passer-by looked bewildered, and unconsciously followed the undead for several steps before he realized that he turned around and ran away again in a hurry.

During the stumbling escape, passers-by and villagers couldn't help but look back...

The group of undead who almost scared him to death ignored him, and they all rushed towards the farm with their heads down, at an astonishingly fast speed, which was beyond the reach of ordinary horses.

A passerby with question marks on his head: "...??"

As the first undead turned over and jumped into the farm fence, the farm workers who were taking a lunch break finally realized that it was not a hallucination; no matter if they were resting on the haystacks or hiding in the shade of the barn, they all screamed Hugging his head and running like a mouse.

Some hid in nearby buildings, some burrowed into haystacks, and some panicked and ran towards the direction where the undead were attacking...

A milkman with a shirtless shirt and overalls was running towards the big house in cold sweat while looking for his brother. When he was looking for someone, he suddenly saw his reckless brother running towards the dead. Almost scared away.

The milkman yelled out his brother's name piercingly, tears welled up in his eyes——

Then...he saw his brother nearly bump into the undead, who pushed him away in disgust.

The brother who was pushed staggered and fell to the ground, and the undead, as if they were too lazy to pay attention to him, walked around the brother who was hugging his head and howling.

Milkman: "...??"

The undead who rushed into the farm were very purposeful, and they all ran towards the big house where the owner lived, and the speed was extremely fast; one after another, the skeletons jumped over countless workers scurrying around, and bypassed the shocked milkman who forgot to escape. , scrambling to squeeze through the door.

The workers who hadn't had time to find the hiding place were panting and sweating, and stared blankly in the direction of the big house.

In the big room, tragic screams were heard soon, and the sound of beatings and collisions...

The villagers of Heishi Village still don't know what happened to the farm next door.

"Thank you...thank you, Mr. Miles, thank you for taking the pains to bring back the news for Elan." Weeping with joy, Mrs. White couldn't help bowing, her words choked up, "I really—I really don't know how to thank you. "

"Please don't be like this, ma'am, I'm just a messenger, and I haven't done anything worthy of your gratitude." Captain Miles reached out to support Mrs. White, "Sit down and calm down first."

Helping the excited Mrs. White to sit down, Myers took a step back and said with complicated emotions: "I think you need to know...Although Elan White can be exempted from prison, in the short term...he cannot return to prison. to your side."

The rigid standard of the upper class is to have professional strength, and the undead regime obviously will not do the stupid thing of casually releasing such a group of powerful young adults into society.

"Of course, you can go to the city to see him." Seeing Mrs. White's terrified expression, Captain Miles quickly comforted him, "Please don't worry, Elan's freedom is not completely restricted, he just needs to accept the new city hall It’s just reorganization-please believe me, this is a good thing, the new city hall will arrange a suitable job for Elan, he can get a legal salary, and he can also get the benefits stipulated by the new city hall.”

"So that's how it is." Mrs. White breathed a sigh of relief, putting her hands on her chest and said, "That's good, that's good..."

Mrs. White couldn't imagine her son going to be a mercenary at all. If the new city hall was willing to arrange a job for her son in the city, it would always be better than returning to the countryside.

The relaxed Mrs. White realized that she seemed not thoughtful enough, and hurriedly got up to pour water and prepare meals for the guests. Although their family couldn't offer any good treats, at least they couldn't let the guests leave hungry.

Captain Miles was planning to say goodbye, but hesitated for a while and didn't speak.

"I heard that Mr. Bud from the farm next door is a generous gentleman who is willing to help the villagers?" Taking advantage of Mrs. White's time to light the fire, Miles asked curiously.

Mrs. White, who was taking out a matchbox from her apron, suddenly had a strange expression on her face.

"Maybe... that's the case, sir." Mrs. White said reluctantly.

Captain Miles observed her reaction, got a little idea in his heart, and sighed deliberately: "Then this Lord Bud is really different, completely different from the farmers in the south I have heard. I was in the city. When I was in Li, I heard someone mention that the farmers in the south would only lend money to the villagers in the nearby villages when something happened to them, and they would ask for high interest. It's not over yet..."

Mrs. White, who was half-squatting and stuffing firewood into the stove, broke a branch as thick as a child's forearm with her bare hands, making a "snap" sound.

"It's...it's like this, it's really terrible." Mrs. White smiled stiffly.

"...That's not it."

Mrs. White, who lowered her head, did not notice that Captain Miles' face became very gloomy.
