"So Liu Gang ran away after Xu Er brought him food?"
Shi Lingyuan asked.
Shi Zeqi nodded, but his expression was a little hesitant: "That period was the most chaotic time in the outer city. In fact, it is possible that it was someone else..."
There are more than 10,000 zombies in the outer city. The transformed zombies can still live in the inner city at the beginning, but as the number of people increases, the inner city can no longer accommodate them.
Anyway, zombies ignore zombies. If you don't mind that the outer city is a little shabby, it is completely habitable.
At that time, the newly transformed zombies were very willing to live in the outer city.
"Isn't it great to be able to choose a house you like and live in it earlier, and repair and organize it yourself while living there? Hahaha..."
So the corpse man who later transformed chose a house to live in.
At that time, the situation in the outer city of Taoyuan City was that corpses and zombies coexisted.
Maybe someone got up early and went out, and as soon as they opened the door, they met the zombies in the courtyard.
Then the host went about his own business and ignored the zombie in his yard, just letting it wander around in the yard and wandering off somewhere else without knowing when.
It's like having some kind of strange pet on the loose, that's what it's like.
Anyway, it wouldn't cause any harm to everyone, so we got along like this for a long time.
By the time all the zombies in the outer city were cleared, many houses had been repaired and the streets had been cleaned.
At that time, several families lived near the remote courtyard where Liu Gang was imprisoned.
When Xu Qing set the rules for the new residents, he also specifically greeted the nearby residents and told them that the yard held a villain who ate his own son's heart alive, and that he was a human being. It was best not to go there.
Shi Lingyao frowned: "Who are the people living nearby? Did you ask them anything later?"
Shi Zeqi was a little embarrassed: "Nothing was found. They are just innocent residents. I asked the patrol soldiers around and there was nothing unusual. Liu Gang seemed to have evaporated on the spot."
"Are those residents still there?"
"Those who are here should be busy setting up the venue in the outer city."
"Please ask them to come to the camp."
Shi Zeqi didn't ask any more questions and left.
Lin Yan, who had been listening on the sidelines, asked curiously: "Doctor Shi, do you think there is someone else who let Liu Gang go?"
She nodded: "It definitely can't be Xu Er, otherwise he wouldn't be injured and disappear."
"But we don't rule out the possibility of directing and acting."
Although she said this, she had already crossed Xu Er off the list of suspects in her heart.
Zhang Xing also asked: "Why do you want to come to the camp? The outer city is quite far away from us."
Lin Yan nodded: "That's right. If that person is really among them and has traveled such a long distance, wouldn't he have enough time to think about how to lie thoughtfully?"
She looked around with a sly smile: "Then we must make rational use of existing resources. Get a cell and make it as brutal as possible."
Jing Hexuan's brows moved, and a clear smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He motioned to Li Yue to do it.
Li Yue nodded and left.
Lin Yan turned into a curious baby and chased her and asked.
Probably now that he is a corpse, he always has an inexplicable feeling of closeness to Shi Lingyao, so he is much more courageous and his attitude is more respectful than before.
Shi Lingyao deliberately let it slip and followed Li Yue to the cell with his hands behind his back, with a mysterious smile: "You'll find out later."
No matter how much Lin Yan scratched his head, he would not reveal anything.
Soon the residents arrived.
Three men and two women.
One of the men and a woman seemed to be relatively close to each other. They probably met after the transformation and were planning to live together.
Several people followed the soldiers who led the way. As they entered the military camp, they couldn't help but look around curiously.
As a result, I walked further and further, until I passed through a narrow alley and came to a huge metal door.
The door and the cramped environment around it gave off a strong solemn atmosphere. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but they even smelled the smell of blood.
"Brother, may I ask why you brought us here?"
One man dared to ask.
The soldier straightened his back and did not answer his question. He opened the big iron door and stood aside, looking at them with no expression on his face: "Go in."
A woman begged softly: "Brother, haven't we been questioned before? It really has nothing to do with us that the man ran away. Can you..."
"Go in."
The soldier repeated coldly, turning the weapon in his hand, and pointed the tip with a cold light at everyone.
Several people immediately fell silent, hesitantly gathered together, and walked inside little by little.
Li Yue was waiting at the door of the prison. When he saw the five people coming in, he motioned for them to go in by themselves.
The cell was dark, with various tools hanging on the surrounding walls, including long saws, machetes, long hooks, iron chains, and many other things with no apparent purpose.
The only thing that shone brightly in the room was a brazier, which was placed on a shelf. When a few people entered the door, they made a "crack" sound, which frightened a few people and stopped them immediately.
Next to the brazier was a tall cross with an iron chain as thick as a wrist hanging from it.
There was a table on the other side of the brazier, and a girl was sitting at the table. Next to her stood a tall man, so tall that he seemed to break through the roof of the cell.
He was looking at them with a cold face, full of anger.
Several people quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look around anymore.
Shi Lingyao sat with her legs crossed, holding her chin with one hand and looking at these people. Her power of thought enveloped the five people the moment they stepped into the military camp.
In fact, there was no need to ask any more, she already knew who that person was.
They all looked worried, their heads lowered cautiously, and they didn't dare to say anything.
These people saw their city lord for the first time since they regained consciousness.
Yesterday, they saw with their own eyes the huge inner city wall, which disappeared completely with a rumble. They were very shocked, and they were all curious and admired this mysterious city lord.
It's just that the current occasion to meet the city lord is not really suitable to express admiration.
Along the way, I was scared to death.
Several people looked nervous and fearful on the outside, but they were very lively on the inside.
"There is such a scary place in our city."
"Didn't you already ask if it's not us? You won't punish us, right?"
"What should I do? I really don't know anything. Will the city lord surrender? He shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"
"Can such a young girl really do something like tear down a city wall by herself?"
Listening to the inner voices of several people, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her white fingers looked plump and slender under the firelight.
She clicked on one of them: "Keep this one, the others can go."
