Chapter 491 The dead return to the city at midnight, the swordsman with a bamboo stick
Walking out of the coffee shop and coming to an empty corner, Wu Xinrou went straight back to Qingzhou City.
It was already midnight. Logically, Qingzhou City should be peaceful, but Wu Xinrou's first feeling was chaos!
"Boss, you finally showed up. Things are getting serious!"
Liu Lang had been waiting for a long time. The fire lit up half of the sky in Qingzhou City. The city was noisy. It was more than chaotic, it was a mess.
"What's going on now?"
Wu Xinrou only learned about the incident in Qingzhou City after receiving a reminder from the Tiangong Intelligent Computer, but she had no idea what the incident was.
"All the dead in the city have been resurrected, not one is left behind!"
Liu Lang shuddered, and then used the shortest sentences to summarize what was happening in the city. In fact, it was similar to the "Starving Ghost" incident, in which Liu Laosan died for more than ten years but returned home in the middle of the night.
However, those who returned home in the middle of the night this time were the ones who died in this disaster caused by demons, almost all the dead people in Qingzhou city!
"My son, my son! God has mercy on you. You've come back! Woo woo!"
"My lady, I am not dreaming, you, you are not dead!"
"Second brother, aren't you dead? No, wait, just stand there and don't come over here!!"
“Xiao Cui? You are Xiao Cui, right?! But you, you were eaten by a demon, right? Are you a human or a demon?!”
"..."
The city is now in chaos. Faced with the dead people returning home in the middle of the night, some people are ecstatic, thinking it is God's mercy, some are mixed with joy and fear, and are confused and uncertain, but more people are terrified, because they have witnessed the death of these people who returned home in the middle of the night with their own eyes, and even personally handled their funeral affairs.
As a result, the relative who had been eaten by the demon or burned to ashes in a fire, actually knocked on the door in the middle of the night and came back just like that?
It's normal to feel panic.
"Commander, the situation is out of control. The crowd is very excited, and we are unable to conduct effective screening!"
A demon-suppressing man knelt on one knee and reported to Liu Ruyan. He roughly estimated that there were about 300,000 more people in Qingzhou City. All of these people died in the disaster caused by demons, and there was no possibility of survival!
These dead people accurately found the living people who were related to them when they were alive. Their memories were exactly the same and they possessed almost all the characteristics of a living person. The living and the dead were now completely mixed together, especially in the temporary settlements set up in Dongcheng District. The situation was extremely chaotic at this time!
It has become a luxury to want to control the situation.
"Keep watching closely, regardless of whether they are alive or dead, make sure no one takes advantage of the situation to cause trouble. If necessary, take strong measures!"
"Yes!"
Liu Ruyan rubbed her brows, her heart also unable to calm down for a long time. Although the situation has not deteriorated further for the time being, and those dead people have not suddenly attacked and killed people, but if someone said that it was God who opened his eyes and resurrected these dead people, Liu Ruyan absolutely did not believe it.
This matter is definitely related to demons, but the question now is what should be done?
"Commander Liu, what's the situation?"
At this moment, Wu Xinrou had also arrived. Seeing the new person, Liu Ruyan felt a little relieved.
"The situation is not good. An Xue, Mu Feng, and Li Qingyao are all in Dongcheng District now. The number of extra deaths in the city is not a small number. We don't know how to deal with it now."
Liu Ruyan did not hide it. If there were only one or two, or a dozen dead people returning home, she would have just wiped them out. But now the whole city was full of dead bodies, and they were completely mixed with the living.
Once we choose to take action, no one can predict the consequences. Now the situation is relatively stable. If after we take action, the dead bodies all over the city riot, the consequences will be unpredictable!
Wu Xinrou frowned. It was obvious that she had thought of this as well. However, the problem had to be solved after all. If left alone, big problems would definitely arise.
"Commander Liu, have you sent anyone to evacuate the crowd and separate the living from the dead?"
"Yes, but it's difficult."
Liu Ruyan shook her head and then explained that these dead people who returned home in the middle of the night possessed all the memories of their lives. Those who came to their homes were actually their relatives. Although most of the living people were very afraid of these dead people who came to their homes in the middle of the night, most of the living people would still subconsciously protect them and prevent these dead people from being taken away by the demon-suppressing people.
After all, these are their relatives.
"The most important issue now is that we cannot take too strong measures. After all, no one knows whether it will cause any problems for the dead people in this city."
Liu Ruyan sighed. Wu Xinrou also understood Liu Ruyan's difficulties, but she objected to it.
"No, we cannot hesitate. I suggest taking strong measures to separate the living and the dead in the city as quickly as possible."
"Liu Lang will call for help. They can quickly distinguish who is alive and who is dead. You and I will be in charge of the battle. In an hour, we should be able to see some initial results."
Wu Xinrou's tone was firm. Now was not the time to worry about these things. Perhaps after being stimulated, these dead people would mutate, but as time went on, the same situation could also happen.
Moreover, those dead people still possess all their memories before they died. If we wait until a little later, when the living and the dead have become familiar with each other, it will be even more difficult to take action!
So be quick, or else something might happen!
Wu Xinrou explained in the shortest words. Liu Ruyan closed her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded heavily. No matter what, she had to take action first.
Tonight in Qingzhou City is destined to be a sleepless night. In a mountain forest about a thousand miles away from Qingzhou City, a young swordsman holding a bamboo stick is walking on a remote path.
The moonlight was very cold, but it provided good lighting. Although there were no spiritual beasts in this forest, there were many ferocious beasts in the mountains. There was no spiritual power fluctuation on the swordsman, and it was obvious that he was just an ordinary mortal.
The mountain wind was howling, and in the shadowy bushes, a ferocious predator was eyeing the swordsman. It was a leopard. Although it was just a wild beast, this was its hunting ground. Not to mention a mortal, even for some low-level monks, life and death would depend on a moment.
The leopard was very patient. It approached the swordsman little by little from behind. Its dim eyes were full of coldness and bloodthirstiness. As a seasoned hunter, it knew what a sword was.
Although the swordsman was holding only a bamboo stick, in the eyes of the leopard, it was a sword that brought it bad memories.
But at this distance, it is faster than a sword!
The young swordsman paused for a moment, then tapped the ground lightly with his bamboo staff. The mountain wind died down, and the moonlight seemed to become blurry for a moment.
There was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. The swordsman did not look back but continued to move forward. Not far away, he could vaguely see the outline of a village. It was late at night, so he planned to stay there for the night.
