Chapter 35: Quest, Zombie Village
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the tent, Su Mu ran for a distance before opening the military order and carefully reading it.
The mission this time was not complicated.
A remote village had been suspected of being by bandits, and the higher-ups had ordered Liu Gaotian to send a team of elite troops to the designated location to eliminate the bandits.
Liu Gaotian had Su Mu do this job in order to help him accumulate more military merits.
Although Liu Gaotian was scowling, he still took good care of Su Mu.
This made his heart warm up, and a smile appeared on his face.
…
The task was simple, so Su Mu didn’t think much about it.
The next morning, he gathered a hundred men and set off to the designated location.
After reaching their destination, Su Mu scanned his surroundings and his brows furrowed.
This matter did not seem to be as simple as he had imagined!
There were actually three teams of 100 people gathered here.
Including Su Mu, that would be four hundred people!
Did they really need so many people to annihilate the bandits in the village?
Moreover, they were all elites from the various military camps.
Apart from that, Su Mu also saw a group of about 50 cavalrymen.
These cavalrymen were dressed in thick, black armor, and their bodies were filled with killing intent!
It was obvious that they all had extraordinary backgrounds.
These people were clearly the Beiling Prince’s Elite Black Armored Cavalry!
In the world today, other than the Saints in Yanjing, the Beiling Prince was the most powerful.
Jizhan and Yanzhan were both his fiefs.
He was the number one king in the world!
The Beiling Prince’s personal guards had actually been deployed for this mission!
What was he trying to do?
Su Mu faintly sensed danger.
However, he didn’t show any surprise on his face, only quietly observing the others.
It could be seen that the other three teams were also somewhat bewildered.
However, no one dared to ask anything. They could only wait for instructions silently.
…
After Su Mu and his group arrived, everyone was still waiting in the same place.
About 15 minutes later, another group of people arrived, also amounting a hundred people.
At this point, everyone had arrived, a total of 500 people.
“Everyone, follow me.”
The leader of the Black Armored Cavalry coldly gave an order. He then led the cavalry to lead the way, with a dozen or so cavalry at the back.
Although he had a stomach full of questions, military orders were like mountains.
No one dared to disobey them, so they could only follow obediently.
…
This March took an entire day.
It wasn’t until dusk before Black Armored Cavalry led them to a remote Mountain Valley.
“Do you see that village ahead? That’s the place. Get rid of the enemy inside.”
The leader of the Black Armored Cavalry pointed ahead, but he had no intention of advancing.
The other four teams didn’t think too much about it, or rather, they didn’t dare to think about it.
Together, they advanced towards the village, fully prepared to exterminate the bandits.
Only Su Mu and his soldiers stood still.
In the evening, there was no smoke from the kitchen, no lights, and no signs of life in the village.
No matter how he looked at it, it was very strange!
Most importantly, his [Spirit sense] acted up after he arrived!
The closer they got to the strange village, the stronger the sense of danger!
…
“What are you still doing? Move!”
Seeing Su Mu remaining where he was, the leader of the Black Armored Cavalry coldly berated him.
There was even a faint murderous aura!
From the looks of it, if Su Mu still didn’t bring his men in, they would have to take some measures.
Don’t look lightly upon the Black Armored Cavalry just because there were 50 people.
They were all second-rate warriors, and their leader was a first-rated warrior.
They were well-trained and well-equipped.
Let alone Su Mu’s men, even if the other four teams worked together, they would still not be their match!
But would Su Mu be afraid?
He didn’t back down as he looked at the leader of the Black Armored Cavalry and asked, “There’s no smoke or fire in this village, and it looks like it’s been abandoned for a long time. How could there be bandits in such a village?”
The man’s face turned solemn, and his killing intent became even stronger.
“Orders are orders! Is it your place to question them?”
As he spoke, the Black Armored Cavalry behind him took a step forward at the same time. Their might was astonishing!
At this moment, his [Spirit sense] was frantically warning him.
This meant that the Black Armored Cavalry were not trying to scare Su Mu, but were really going to kill him!
This only made Su Mu even more suspicious.
He had only asked a question in return. If anything, it was a reasonable question that was not in contempt of the authority.
He was going to be summarily executed for that?
It seemed that there was a big problem with the mission this time!
…
Su Mu quickly thought about it.
Now that they were in conflict with the Black Armored Cavalry, none of them would survive.
He wasn’t afraid of death, but this meaningless and useless death was bothersome.
He might as well explore the strange village and see what this group of people was up to.
When he thought of this, Su Mu turned away from the confrontation.
“Let’s go!”
After giving the leader of the Black Armored Cavalry a cold smile, he led the soldiers of the Yan family towards the village.
On the surface, Su Mu seemed to be retreating.
But in his heart, he had already labeled this person as a must-kill.
There was no reason. It was simply because he didn’t like him.
…
“Boss, that kid was pretty strong!”
“I heard that he is very talented in martial arts cultivation. At the age of 15, he was promoted to a second-rate warrior. I’m afraid … It’s only a matter of time before he surpasses you!”
“Yes, I’ve also heard of his reputation as a genius.”
After Su Mu and his men left, the Black Armored Cavalry started to chat with their leader.
“Genius? Hehe, no matter how powerful a genius is, he’ll only be a meal tonight. ”
“Go, follow the Lord’s instructions and seal off the village. Don’t let them escape.”
“Don’t let a single one escape!”
The Black Armored Cavalry laughed coldly. The jealousy in their eyes faded a little and was replaced by some joy.
Under his command, the cavalrymen began to move.
They had made some strange arrangements in some places near the village.
They seemed to be setting up some kind of array.
All of this was seen by Su Mu, and the sense of crisis in his heart only grew stronger and stronger!
However, this also made him very interested in the dilapidated village.
What exactly was in this village?
What did these Black Armored Cavalry want to do?
…
With this question in mind, Su Mu led his men into the village.
“Brothers, have you found the hiding place of the bandits?”
Su Mu asked some of his men who had already scouted ahead.
“No, there’s no one in this village! I can’t even see a shadow of a person, it’s all dust.”
“I didn’t find anyone either. I only found some dried blood. Whatever happened here, it was bad, but it happened a long time ago!”
“Do you guys smell it? There’s a faint rancid smell in this village.”
“I smell it, I smell it! There’s something wrong with this village. Why did the higher-ups call us here?”
After the few soldiers gathered together and chatted for a while, they felt that the mission this time was indeed strange.
While everyone was still confused, the sun in the west had completely sunk.
The night had fallen!
“Ding Ling Ling~~~Ding Ling Ling~~”
The moment night fell, a strange copper bell rang outside the village.
Everyone turned around and saw the leader of the Black Armored Cavalry holding an ancient copper bell, shaking it vigorously.
His face revealed a sinister smile!
…
“Rustle, rustle, rustle! Rustle, rustle, rustle!”
As the bell rang, the ground in the dilapidated village began to stir.
One by one, rotting corpses broke out of the ground and stood up straight!
Among them, there were men and women, old and young.
From their clothes, they should be the villagers of this village.
They had all turned into zombies and were buried underground!
[What happened here?]
…
While everyone was still in shock, hundreds of zombies had already surrounded them.
