Chapter 609: Convergence Along the Way

The convoy consisting of more than a dozen mechas and hundreds of zombies took a short rest and replenishment in the town. The townspeople were safe and sound, and even sent blessings for the convoy's safety when it left.

This place is still under the jurisdiction of the church, and the drivers of the dozen or so mechas are Mu Hua and his group.

The reason for this situation was mainly due to Charles. The old man's title of fraudster was well deserved. The false identity documents he made for Mu Hua and others easily fooled the law enforcement officers in the towns along the way.

The zombies in the team were all those that Setsuna had ignored after being infected a long time ago. As the vampire who infected them, Setsuna had an intuitive attraction to them.

Simply put, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can feel Shanshan calling them. Whether it is because of fear or bondage, they will rely on their own will and follow their feelings to find Shanshan.

Because of the large-scale invasion of the blood clan, the Ukulu Courtyard has now popularized the means of identifying ghouls under the promotion of the church. The identities of Mu Hua and others can be faked, but it is difficult for ghouls and secondary vampires to hide their identities in the city.

Although Mu Hua and his companions were carrying several carts of zombies, people passing by the town did not doubt them after verifying their identity as the Holy Glory Armed Forces. The reason was that many zombies had indeed abandoned their masters and defected to the church.

This can probably be considered one of the disadvantages of corpses.

It is too easy to infect zombies, no matter if they are vampires or lesser vampires, as long as they are determined, they can just bite someone.

However, this transformation can distort some of their physiological states, but it cannot change their memory, thinking and cognition.

The arrival of the vampires brought the scourge of ghouls to this courtyard, but as a courtyard where faith is widespread, many ghouls still do not identify with the vampires after solving their own appetite problems, and look forward to salvation from the gods.

These ghouls want to return to the church, and in order to divide the blood clan's power, which is like a biological weapon, churches in some areas have indeed announced that they will provide shelter to those who turn from evil to good.

At first, a large number of corpses returned to the church, and even became the force for the church to encircle and suppress the vampires.

Some ghouls follow the vampires, while others return to the church.

The blood clan, even the lesser vampires, do have absolute control over the life and death of the ghouls. However, the problem is that there are so many ghouls that they can't tell which ones should be killed and which ones should not be killed.

Just like in a pile of sand, there are some hot gravels and some soft gravels. You want to separate the hot gravels, how do you do it?
Unless the zombies they developed themselves stand in front of them, the vampires will either kill all the zombies they developed themselves, or cut them off one by one.

But if they did so, it would likely cause a backlash from the zombies that followed them, so for the time being, the vampires didn't bother with the rebellious zombies.

If the situation continues to develop at that pace, the vampires would be simply helping others and strengthening the power of the church.

But things are often not that simple, otherwise corpse ghosts would not be tabooed in all walks of life.

Monsters and even living livestock can satisfy the appetite of ghouls, but they are ghouls after all, not ghouls, and the flesh and blood of their former kind still have a strong appeal to them.

It's like some kind of addiction. If they don't eat humans for a long time, it won't affect the health of the corpse ghosts, but it will make them very anxious and irritable.

More importantly, as time went by, the faith of the corpse ghosts who fed on fresh flesh and blood gradually wavered, and they gradually began to realize that they were aliens.

There are too many zombies, and most of the people in this courtyard do not cultivate blood magic. It is too easy for vampires to create zombies, and it is impossible for the church to reverse them.

The church uses the returning ghouls as a weapon. They have faith, but these ghouls are not fools and gradually begin to worry about their future.

Some ghouls return to the church, some return to the church and then defect again, and some return to the vampire camp. It is a tangled mess and it is hard to predict the outcome.

The vampires don't care about these zombies jumping around again and again. They understand the zombies, and they don't care about them. Anyway, these zombies are just cannon fodder to them.

They don't even have the chance to be selected as the elite after the baptism of war. Although it is impossible to say it, the corpse ghosts are a stain and an unstable factor. They are tabooed by the outside world and will eventually be wiped out by the vampires sooner or later.

In the outside world, even if the vampires control the zombies, they control them through the threat of death. There is no such thing as loyalty or disloyalty.

The vampires do not need the loyalty of the ghouls, and the ghouls are not sure when their masters will abandon them, so accepting domination is more of a dying struggle.

However, in this enclosed courtyard, the people here are not aware of this, and the zombies here do not believe what the church says.

People tend to accept what they want to hear and reject others' denial of themselves, and the same is true for ghouls. They believe that they have far more power than before, and they think that the tyrannical vampires have no reason to give up on them. They are much more positive and "decent" than ghouls in the outside world. . .

Similar to the vampires’ attitude towards the ghouls, the church actually doesn’t care much about the ghouls’ repeated movements.

For the church, the returning ghouls are there to be used whenever possible. In the name of self-salvation, the church often assigns the most troublesome and dangerous tasks to those returning ghouls, and will never let them participate in serious combat plans.

This also led to the fact that there were indeed some zombies that were hostile to the blood clan on duty and patrolling in the outside world. Mu Hua and his group of "Holy Glory Armed Forces" swaggered with a group of "law-abiding" zombies and did not arouse any doubts along the way.

"Hey, Mu Hua, how long are you going to keep these 'darlings' around? If you really need people, I can arrange a group of immigrants for you."

Several troop transports loaded with zombies led the way ahead. Abigail sat on the shoulder of a mecha that was running at high speeds. She patted the mecha's head and spoke to Mu Hua who was driving the mecha.

"Don't you think they are all great? Charles can actually impersonate the high priest. I have learned a lot from him." Mu Hua's voice came from the mecha microphone.

"Haha, your Excellency is too kind. These are just some little tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage." Charles smiled modestly in another mecha running with the team.

The mechas driven by Mu Hua and his crew are light mechas, which are considered high-end products in this courtyard. In addition to normal movement modes, they also have gliding and flying modes.

The mechas were all looted, and a lot of energy modules were also obtained. The flight mode was more convenient, but including Mu Hua, none of the people knew how to fly the mechas.

Regardless of whether they were practicing or playing at this moment, the group seemed to be familiarizing themselves with the control of the mecha.

"This little thing is indeed quite interesting, and that little vampire girl is not bad either. So, do you hate slave traders, or do you want slaves? Do you want to immigrate or not?" Abigail, with her long hair flying, said in a bored tone as she sat on the shoulder of the mecha.

Charles is an old man, he is at least two hundred years old, but in Abigail's mouth, he becomes a little thing. Mu Hua couldn't utter the complaint of "there is an old man in the family" because he was afraid that Abigail would damage his mecha.

"The Cains Courtyard is unstable, so what do I need so many immigrants for? I dare not ask you to come up with a plan. I just do it according to my convenience." Mu Hua said casually.

"Ha~, you are my boss now, and I don't have to come up with any plans. I think you are just afraid that I will take over your property." Abigail said with a smile.

This time, Mu Hua and his group's destination was the arms cemetery in this courtyard. They did not go straight to the destination. The reason why they were running around with a group of people was to sweep through some slave traders' strongholds along the way.

The slave traders in this courtyard usually set up bases in towns around some big cities. These slave traders usually have relatively glamorous identities on the surface. They train high-quality slaves and then send them to underground exchanges in some prosperous cities for auction.

Mu Hua has analyzed the dimensional restrictions of this courtyard. After sweeping the strongholds of those slave traders, he will send the imprisoned slaves to the Abyss Island.

Anyway, the environment they originally lived in was considered "isolated from the world", so they could just be considered the natives of the Abyss Island.

Abigail thought that Mu Hua's behavior meant that he was short of people, and Abigail should be able to get immigrants for Mu Hua from the courtyard where she lived.

However, immigrants are not slaves, and you can't just move away whenever you want.

The conventional means is usually for rulers to create more harsh living conditions in some areas under their rule.

Then Mu Hua proposed a more favorable immigration policy.

The news spread over there, and with the help of some propaganda and guidance, the so-called immigrants came.

Otherwise, do you really think that the so-called smuggling, routing, and property transfer cannot be blocked? Compared with the various blockades of various countries, the harsh natural environment on the way is nothing.

Everything is done imperceptibly. Regardless of public opinion, Mu Hua also has to give benefits to the actual managers of the immigration exporting side, huge benefits. Otherwise, who would be a fool to play this game with you?

If we look at it from an absolutely rational point of view, this is actually an alternative form of human trafficking, except that the means are more subtle and there is more of a show element, and all immigration seems to be the spontaneous and voluntary behavior of the parties involved.

For the time being, Mu Hua does not need such large-scale formal immigration. And as Abigail said, the composition of this type of immigrants is complex. If there are spies or agents among them, it will be much more difficult to screen them out than those guys who sneaked into the city of Cairns.

Mu Hua is temporarily going to divert people to the Abyss Island. He doesn't dare to send normal immigrants to the Abyss Island. (End of this chapter)
