In a prosperous and peaceful metropolis, under the midday sun, accompanied by the falling of maple leaves, disaster strikes.

Madmen, groups of madmen kept emerging in the dark alleys, their pupils emitting dim light and sharp canine teeth exposed at the corners of their mouths.

These lunatics rushed onto the streets, into shops, and into citizens' homes, pouncing on anyone they saw and biting them when they got close. People who were bitten and knocked unconscious by them would have sharp canine teeth sticking out from the corners of their mouths after they woke up after a moment.

At first they were confused and their rationality was not impaired, but the hunger burning in their internal organs and the bloodthirstiness brought out their primitive urge to find food.

In less than half an hour, the tide of zombies flooded the relatively remote and poor communities in the city. The wave of zombies swept across half of the city and was spreading even faster than before.

The crisp sound of guns, the flashing of divine arts, the holy light wrapped in the smoke of gunpowder, the crisp sound of ordinary guns gradually turned into heavy firepower strafing, and higher-level explosions appeared from time to time in the low-end divine arts.

It was simply a biochemical crisis. Standing by the window on the 80th floor of the hotel, looking at the zombies scurrying around in the city like ants, Mu Hua was secretly shocked. This thing really looked like a zombie outbreak.

However, unlike irrational zombies, these dead ghosts can also become confused and fearful, and will flee in panic when facing powerful enemies.

They lack the fearless madness of zombies, but precisely because they still retain a certain degree of rationality even when hungry, they can use strategies and wield weapons.

After the normal people in the city organized resistance and attacks against them, the originally beast-like zombies gradually picked up swords, guns and scrambled for chariot weapons.

In fact, because the divine arts of the people in this courtyard exist in a way similar to "spell slots", after becoming ghouls, the priests may lose the ability to release divine arts, but if they are not priests, many ghouls can still really use some of the divine arts they once had.

A zombie that weakens pain, carries a gun and throws magic?
The attack and defense between humans and zombies in the city began, with people chasing each other and going back and forth. There were also some weird scenes in the chaotic scene.

But it has to be said that the spread ability of ghouls is really not weaker than that of the legendary zombies. No wonder any vampire who creates ghouls in the human world will be labeled a criminal by the Blood Moon City.

In fact, the Ghoul virus is quite low-end. Although it is difficult to reverse after infection, it does not require too much blood and magic to restrain the infection of the Ghoul virus. This kind of virus has no market among adventurers.

In this courtyard right now, people practice cultivation much more diligently than those living in the human world. However, it is estimated that only the knights of the Knights' Inquisition practice blood and energy. The vast majority of people practice prayer on a daily basis, so the infectiousness of the corpse ghosts is naturally magnified infinitely.

At the same time, this place is not within the restricted area of ​​the Blood Moon City for the time being. As long as these corpses are eventually dealt with, this will not be a problem for the vampires at all.

"Boom!" The roar of energy cannons finally appeared in the city, and some cavalry teams reflecting metallic light in the sun appeared on the streets.

"Boom!" Groups of zombies were being bombarded, but one saw a cavalry team that seemed to be blown to pieces by a landmine.

Mu Hua's mouth twitched as he stood by the window. He wanted to laugh, but he felt that laughing in this situation seemed a little inhumane. . .

"Do you think the power of faith can purify these zombies and restore them to normal?" Looking down at the situation in the city, Mu Hua asked Shanshan beside him.

Mu Hua has now transformed into a vampire, and he can also create corpse ghosts. This kind of existence seems to be quite useful.

"Yes, divine magic has the ability to reverse the transformation of a ghoul, but, um... you can understand it as if you want to purify a ghoul you need to release a forbidden spell."

"If there is no special reason, I guess no god would waste so much power of faith on corpses. For them, killing these corpses should be the best way of purification." Shanshan explained with a sneer.

"Oh, that means you can't recover. Let's go. The knights of the Inquisition and the priests of the Church are out. Should we go to the prison first or the Grand Opera House?" Mu Hua shook his head and asked as he turned and walked out of the house.

"Let's go to the prison first and release the prisoners before they react. They should like the city like it is now." Setsuna said, and Charlotte followed the two of them, while Sanxi and Monica got into the bodies of Setsuna and Charlotte.

The prison and the opera house are simply two extremes. The opera house is a normal leisure place, but the city is already in chaos. The number of people in the city to fight against the zombies is obviously insufficient. It would be fine not to transfer personnel from the prison. There is no reason to send more troops to the prison. The defense there is empty at this time.

After leaving the hotel, Mu Hua and the other two concealed their faces. Under the effect of the Breath of the Cracks, some zombies on the roadside would even jump out and attack them.

The three men followed the local customs and carried guns. The zombies that attacked them were shot in the head one by one, and the three men looked like fleeing citizens.

The atmosphere of chaos on the streets became even more intense, with corpses left in the blood all over the ground. These corpses were both human and zombie. When a confrontation formed, some humans would be killed by zombies, but zombies could not infect the corpses.

The bustling commercial street turned into a silent place. Some humans who were on guard against zombies gathered in the shops along the road. Because the doors were sealed for defense, it was hard to say whether there were zombies hiding in some of the shops.

Everyone was in a state of panic. The ghouls were not difficult to kill, but if a large-scale strike was not carried out, the subsequent clearing and searching might be more troublesome and time-consuming than fighting them head-on. And the ghouls did not have obvious features like zombies. They could easily disguise themselves as ordinary humans. Before the identification of ghouls was popularized, even if the ghoul riots could be suppressed, such a city would not be able to return to stability so quickly.

The armored war horses were ridden with nimble knights running around everywhere. When they saw Mu Hua and the other two attacking the zombies, they would scold them to find a place to hide as soon as possible.

The horse breeding industry in this courtyard has also developed well. War horses are probably the pride of knights. Regardless of whether they can control magical vehicles, people who obtain the title of knight here will generally raise a war horse of their own, and many related industries have also been developed as a result.

"I heard that some churches in big cities raise unicorns. Are there any here?" After letting another team of white horse knights pass, Mu Hua asked Doris to label these knights with the doom of death, and then turned to Charlotte and asked.

"After all, it's a mutant demon. The church here seems to be using unicorns to breed Pegasus. The Unlanga Church generally does not allow unicorns to appear in the outside world. The information I can find are all rumors." Charlotte shook her head, uncertain.

Some myths and legends also like to put griffins and angels together, but the composition of angels is complicated. In fact, the attitude of griffins towards angels is similar to that towards demons.

Unicorns don't have wings, so if they want to have the ability to fly, they need to learn the relevant magic.

However, they can hybridize with other magical beasts to produce winged Pegasus. That kind of Pegasus is not as powerful as a dragon, and is relatively less aggressive, but has a docile temperament, and its maneuverability in the air may be better than that of a dragon, making it a good flying mount.

"Then let's see if we can blow up the church district here and go in to take a look." Mu Hua had no need for Pegasus, as he raised dragons. However, unicorns were good things, and the demon merchants offered a very high price for unicorn horns, so he had never been willing to buy them.

In such a big city, the church district is equivalent to the inner city of the city, also known as the upper city area. It maintains a certain degree of isolation from the outside world. In the eyes of ordinary citizens, living there can be regarded as a symbol of crossing classes.

There are towering city walls guarding the outside, but their symbolic significance is greater than their defensive effect. It can be simply understood as an upscale community, not a fortress.

After all, this is a courtyard that has been governed by humans for hundreds of years. Years of peace have made people in most areas here take war for granted.

As they were talking, the three of them picked up a pickup truck that was still running on the side of the road. Charlotte acted as the driver, and she drove the pickup truck like a racing driver, flying on the chaotic road.

Mu Hua stood with a gun on his shoulder and half of his body leaning out of the car roof, occasionally firing a few shots at the zombies on the roadside, as a way of proving his identity as "one of them" to the city armed personnel he met.

Thick smoke was rising from many places in the city and the shrill sirens of fire trucks could be heard from different directions.

Taking into account all the circumstances, Mu Hua, who could be considered the main culprit, was thinking more about how the city defense and security on his own territory should be arranged in the future and what aspects needed to be paid attention to.

Several angels with spread wings appeared in the sky. Mu Hua stretched out his palms and gestured at them. It was unclear whether he wanted to confront them or say hello to them. Anyway, those angels ignored him.

At the same time, Mu Hua has always had a strong curiosity about the "sun" in the sky. It is said that the fighting power of the Seraph is not weak. I don't know if it can see the situation in the city, and it doesn't come down to save the situation?

The pickup truck drifted all the way and finally stopped near a relatively remote prison surrounded by low walls and electric fences.

There is an iron net about one meter high on the five or six meter high wall, which is almost equivalent to the specifications of ordinary civilian buildings. It seems that the security agency in this courtyard used to have enough confidence in itself, or maybe the order here is really good, and the prison is built like a factory.

Outside the prison wall is a yard about 50 meters wide, with a guard room outside for visitor registration.

"This... should we go knock on the door?" It was a little different from what he imagined. Mu Hua looked at the empty guard room at the door, then looked at the prison iron gate behind it, and couldn't help but ask Shanna and Charlotte.

"Maybe he went out to fight the zombies?" Not finding any hidden stakes or seeing any guards on martial law, Shanna was a little confused about the situation here.

Asking Charlotte to drive the car further away and wait outside, Mu Hua and Shan Shan tried to approach the gate outside the prison without any obstacles.

I walked past the police booth and through a yard that seemed like a buffer zone, and knocked on the iron gate a few times.

What's more, a moment later, a prison guard with a rifle really opened the iron gate. Seeing the two people with their faces covered, the prison guard was stunned for a moment. The next moment, in excruciating pain, the prison guard's eyes fell into darkness.

Is this the beginning of a prison break?

The prison guard fell to the ground, looking at the open prison gate. It was not until the shrill alarm sounded inside the prison that Mu Hua and Shan Na looked at each other, and they seemed to feel a little more involved.

This courtyard can no longer be said to have good public security. It seems that this situation is somewhat like the criminal law enforcement agency relying on authority to operate normally. (End of this chapter)
