Chapter 56 Corpse poison ravages Nanshan Town
When Lin Changqing entered Nanshan Town, the situation became unfavorable, as if he had suddenly entered the apocalypse from a normal world.
Near the official road, you can see mutilated corpses lying down, and no one is taking care of them.
When Lin Changqing passed a corpse, he wanted to get closer, but Ding Jingtang stopped him: "Inspection Lin, don't get close to those corpses, they are all zombies infected with corpse poison!"
"Our responsibility is to kill, and others will be responsible for subsequent cleanup!"
"We haven't studied the corpse poison yet, so it's better not to come into contact with it easily!"
When Lin Changqing heard Ding Jingtang's words, he no longer approached the body. He thanked Ding Jingtang: "Thank you Ding for the reminder!"
"Haha, from now on we will be colleagues fighting side by side, no need to be so polite!"
Ding Jingtang and Lin Changqing continued on their way. They had to go to Nanshan Town first, and then carry out specific tasks according to the situation.
Few pedestrians were seen along the way, and the occasional ones encountered were warriors who were cleaning up the walking corpses near the official road.
It was precisely because of the cleaning up by these warriors that Lin Changqing and the others encountered no moving zombies along the way.
The closer we get to Nanshan Town, the worse the situation becomes, and more and more corpses can be seen.
"Inspector Ding, can you briefly talk about the changes that occurred in Nanshan Town?"
Until now, Lin Changqing still had limited knowledge of the specifics of this mission. In Cheng Lihu's words, this kind of government mission generally needs to be kept secret in order not to cause panic.
Lin Changqing had no right to know the specific situation before participating in this task.
"Of course, we are almost at Nanshan Town, there is no need to keep it a secret from you anymore!"
"Here in Nanshan Town, there are evil cultivators spreading corpse poison. Almost overnight, a large number of villagers infected with corpse poison appeared in various villages under the jurisdiction of Nanshan Town!"
"When the town discovered this situation and reported it, the corpse poison had completely spread, so the county had no choice but to deploy forces and blockade the entire Nanshan Town!"
"These infected walking zombies are not very strong now. It is not difficult to clean them up. The difficulty lies in finding the source of the corpse poison. If we only kill the walking zombies, we will probably have to kill the entire town before we can completely eliminate them."
The influence of this corpse poison!"
"Moreover, if the source is not found, these corpse poisons are very likely to spread throughout the county!"
"Inspector Lin, you have experience in destroying zombies and controlling zombies. The superior has high hopes for you in this mission!"
"Colleagues are also looking forward to your joining!"
Ding Jingtang explained the situation to Lin Changqing while walking. After talking about it, he praised Lin Changqing again.
"Inspector Ding is ridiculous! I'm just lucky! In terms of strength, I'm not even as good as Inspector Ding!"
Lin Changqing knows that Ding Jingtang is not weaker than Cheng Lihu, at least he is at a high level in the Qi Refining Realm.
A high-level Qi Refining Realm warrior like Ding Jingtang who uses swords must not have a simple background. He is the real young hero.
If it weren't for the fictional background, Lin Changqing wouldn't be qualified to come into contact with a figure like Ding Jingtang based on his background.
"Inspector Lin is too modest to say this! I have heard that Inspector Lin has been practicing martial arts for less than a month!"
"..."
The two of them chatted like this, and soon saw the town of Nanshan Town.
This world is highly dangerous. Every town has a town, and even villages are built with external defense in mind.
Compared with the town of Fengjia Town, the town of Nanshan Town is much shabbier, but the permanent population is also large.
This is the time of year, and under normal circumstances, it is the busiest time for people.
At this time, in Nanshan Town, the city gates were closed, no one was seen outside the city, and the surrounding fields, mountains and forests were quiet.
Ding Jingtang, along with Lin Changqing and the soldiers, successfully opened the city gate, entered the city, and headed straight for the government office set up in the town.
The entire Nanshan Town is filled with a lingering haze. The shops that support basic life in the city are still open for business. There are not many residents coming and going. They are all lifeless and in a hurry.
Arriving at the Nanshan Town Government Office, Lin Changqing met the official responsible for the entire Nanshan Town incident. Ding Jingtang told him in advance that this was a very senior inspector named Kong Youhuai.
Kong Youhuai has an average figure and gray hair, and he looks like a good old man.
Lin Changqing keenly sensed that Kong Youhuai was much more powerful than Ding Jingtang.
"I've seen the inspection!"
After a few people greeted each other, they talked about task arrangements.
Kong Youhuai seemed to be easier to talk to than Ding Jingtang, but as soon as he met him, Lin Changqing knew that this person was not simple.
"Inspector Lin, you have the means to control zombies. You should know more about zombies, corpse refining, and corpse poison!"
"I heard that the two spiritual dogs around you are also extraordinary and are good at tracking!"
"I hope you can find the source of the corpse poison as soon as possible and rescue the surviving people in this town!"
"Inspector Ding is your assistant, assisting you in your investigation!"
"If you have anything to do, just tell him to do it!"
Kong Youhuai's attitude was very good, and there seemed to be no problem with what he said.
There was nothing wrong with him asking Ding Jingtang to be Lin Changqing's assistant, but when he said it directly, as a newcomer, it was a bit difficult for Lin Changqing to handle.
If Lin Changqing really instructs Ding Jingtang to do things carelessly, even if Ding Jingtang has a really good character, there will be a gap in his heart, let alone the soldiers under him.
If Lin Changqing was familiar with the ways of the world and saw clearly the stakes involved, he would not be able to let Ding Jingtang help at will, which would make his investigation task more difficult.
Once Kong Youhuai's words came out, no matter what Lin Changqing did, it would have a certain impact on his relationship with Ding Jingtang.
"Who is this Kong Youhuai? He doesn't want me to get too close to Ding Jingtang?"
Lin Changqing thought for a while and finally understood.
"How dare I ask Inspector Ding to be my assistant! I'm just here to help!"
"I'll just follow Inspector Ding's command and help find clues!"
"I am asked to be responsible for the investigation. With my current ability, I am not qualified!"
Lin Changqing is not a real bloody boy at all, and his temporary false status and power are not attractive to him at all.
Ding Jingtang never had a chance to speak, but Lin Changqing could feel his subtle emotional changes.
"Inspector Lin, needless to say, this is the requirement of the task assigned by the above!"
"Inspector Ding will fully cooperate with you!"
"You can take a rest at the Yamen, have something to eat, and then set off at noon!"
Kong Youhuai made a decision and arranged the task.
Lin Changqing had no choice but to say goodbye to Ding Jingtang and leave.
