"what happened?"
"A large number of dead people have appeared in the north and west areas of the city, the same ones we saw in the woods before. Knights have been sent to drive them away, but the number is a bit large."
While walking up the sidewalk of the city wall, the road was safe while asking the local knight on duty.
"Where's the lord?"
"They just got the news. But from their panicked looks, they shouldn't be the ones causing the trouble."
Although the incident happened suddenly, Catherine's eyeliner had already given her an answer.
"Panic? Oh, I understand. Is there something happening among the people?"
"...No. It seems that because there are too many fake news and too many random disasters recently, the people have become numb and don't take it seriously at all."
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an smiled, very subtly.
[...The third disaster, the disaster of the living, the earth turns over, and the poison of the dead seeps out of the surface, everywhere. When the dead return, can the resurrection of the ancient gods be far behind...]
Undead creatures are scary, but what’s even scarier is the meaning behind their appearance.
This is the third plague of the seven plagues, which means that the disaster has entered a new stage.
For ordinary residents, this is just a new group of monsters and a natural disaster, but for many insiders, it represents a step closer to the end of the world.
"...They had conflicts. Some people destroyed their own graveyards, and some even tried to destroy shared graveyards in civilian areas..."
Just let Ping An hear this kind of news, but it would probably be extremely complicated and troublesome to deal with it.
In fact, when Lu Pingping and his party returned from the forest, there were knights promoting the "cremation" matter.
But obviously, in most of the world, "promoting your ancestors" is not a good word, especially in agricultural civilizations with more land resources (wasteland), where burials have an overwhelming advantage.
Use force to force cremation? Drag out all the ancestors together? Not to mention that there is currently no evidence, even if there is evidence, the difficulty of implementing this work is really ridiculous.
Judging from the results, even in the past half month, this work has been pushed forward but not pushed... After learning about the huge number of "potential resuscitators" in the local area, the insiders felt their scalps go numb. I also reluctantly gave up my plan to clean it up completely.
Once on the city wall, the dead are not far away.
Lu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. The number was smaller than expected. There were only about one or two hundred of them in sight, and most of them were withered dead with only bones.
But the royal team accompanying them was terrified.
"...How is it possible? The third disaster will be at least a month away. How could the dead come so early!"
The rainbow prophet's surprised voice was in Lu Ping'an's ears. The news they received was more detailed, and the scene in front of them was beyond comprehension.
The prophecy of the "seven plagues" has been verified by reality one by one. What happened in Shi Lai Ling is a bit special, but it is not the only variation. There are also disasters that appear in advance in other areas.
Disasters of this level do not mark the time of each stage, but the prophets have special skills to judge the specific stages of the disaster.
Although the predictions are no longer accurate, they continue to predict small disasters and the difficulties that a certain place or person will encounter. When a large number of "disasters of the dead" appear in an area, the third disaster in the prediction will naturally It's coming.
It has to be said that although this method consumes a lot of money and is still a "preset answer" calculation, it can indeed predict the time of the disaster quite accurately.
"...It makes no sense, it's incomprehensible, and the church's prophecies are also wrong..."
The prophet bit his thumb and fell into self-doubt.
He was not originally so vulnerable, but if disaster really came a month earlier, it would mean that all plans were meaningless.
Lu Ping'an looked back at Catherine and motioned for her to explain...without exposing the "Beast God".
Death outside
The number of guards was increasing, and Lu Pingan could visibly notice that many guards were shaken and frightened, but Lu Pingan himself was somewhat relaxed.
He knew that if the third disaster really broke out, there would definitely not be only a few hundred in front of him... Not to mention the tide of corpses covering the city walls, even the tombs inside and outside the city would probably have become Found a new corpse place.
The outbreak of the third disaster is not simply "underground erosion", but the collapse of the more conceptual "order of life and death". Naturally, no one will be spared by then.
"Lu Ping'an, meow, news has come back. It was those people who went to the forest to log wood, encountered these corpse monsters, and then ran back, meow! They lured the corpses back, meow!"
The new news brought by Maomao was good news in a sense. Now, others also breathed a sigh of relief.
The mutation did not occur within the city, or even on a large scale. This is naturally a good thing, but it also means...
"Arrange a reconnaissance, at least to know the situation in the forest... Hua Xueyi, Zhixi, Catherine."
It is now unrealistic to force a breakthrough for reconnaissance, but it seems that if the opponent has not evolved an air force, the flying reconnaissance team should still be relatively safe.
Soon, various countermeasures were issued.
Some knights formed a formation and went out of the city to start clearing away these monsters.
At the same time, a new ban has been issued, and no one is allowed to go to the Gray Forest.
Another task was also forcibly implemented...
"There are followers of the evil god outside who have resurrected the corpses. Those corpse monsters that get up will attack their blood relatives as soon as possible. Eating their relatives will make them stronger."
Lies are more useful than the truth at this time.
When the residents saw those corpse monsters, when the victims wailed in the city, and when some "trophies" were dragged into the city, it was natural that "cremation" became acceptable.
Especially the deliberately compiled rumors, which directly named "blood relatives" as the first targets, made those residents determined to dig out their ancestors from their graves and burn them.
During this process, Lu Ping'an didn't care much. Under his instructions, the old lord came out again to stabilize people's hearts, but those familiar with the situation also knew that these actions were of little significance.
"...Bring these with you and give them a try."
Lu Pingan took out some magic plants and gave them to the knights who were leaving the city, asking them to collect the test data.
"For this kind, you pick off the fruit and throw it out. After a few seconds or dozens of seconds, a pile of holy fire will bloom. The power is very low, but it is enough to kill mortals. Don't kill yourself."
"This kind, if you place them on the surface, they will attack all unnatural creatures around them, but don't expect too much, they are very fragile."
There were only a few hundred dead monsters, and Lu Pingan had no intention of taking action. He picked up a telescope on the city wall and watched everything happen.
On the other side, a temporary flying team also set off, and they might be able to bring back more reliable information.
"...Maybe it's time to consider a way out."
