"Entering the village?" The heavy armored cavalry was stunned for a moment, then solemnly said to the four of them: "I just said that Shiba Zumo has been sealed off by the military - haven't you paid attention to the news recently?"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "I came just because I was concerned about the news - didn't I hope to find someone who could cure the 'living dead' in the village? That's why we came."

The heavy armored cavalry asked in surprise: "Are you a doctor?"

Xie Feng answered ambiguously: "We'll just go in and check the situation. There's no guarantee that we can find a treatment."

The heavy armored cavalryman quickly dismounted when he heard this and said respectfully to Xie Feng: "I was rude just now. We have been waiting for several days but we still haven't found a doctor who is willing to come. It's great that you can come!"

Xie Feng said: "Oh? So we are the first batch of doctors to come?"

The heavy armored cavalry said: "Yes, I guess other people will not dare to approach this place after hearing the rumors of the 'living dead', so I really appreciate you being willing to come... Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself."

, my name is Conan, and I am the captain sent by Chief Mondhari, the lord of Shiba Zumo, to isolate Shiba Zumo."

"Conan?" Xie Feng looked around with lingering fear and asked, "Don't you think someone dies mysteriously every day here?"

Conan was stunned and said: "Although the task of isolating Shiba Zumo seems dangerous, fortunately, no one has died so far - we just have to pay attention to Shiba Zumo's movements at all times."

Xie Feng asked: "What's the situation in the village now?"

Conan replied: "Currently, it is estimated that more than 90% of the villagers in the village have become the living dead. The lords have ordered that no living creature in the village is allowed to escape from the village, otherwise they will be shot to death on the spot. Even so, there are still two people in the village every day.

Three villagers who were not visually infected tried to risk their lives to break through the isolation line, but in the end they were all shot to death. Of course, there were also many living dead." As he spoke, Conan looked back and saw the gap between the village and the soldiers.

On that empty desert, there were scattered corpses filled with arrows.

Cecilia couldn't help but said: "This is too cruel. If we don't let the 'living dead' come out, why don't the villagers who are not infected also...do this not force them to a dead end?"

Conan said helplessly: "There is no way to do this. Some villagers have been scratched by the 'living dead', but in order to survive, they never say anything... If these people are allowed to get out, what kind of damage will be done to this continent?"

You should also be aware of the threat - the contagiousness of the 'living dead' is very terrifying. Even if the skin is slightly scratched by the 'living dead', you will be infected. At the beginning, we also planned to let the healthy villagers who came up with it first.

We carefully checked whether there were any wounds on the whole body and then released them. However, on the first day of the implementation of this plan, some villagers suddenly turned into "living dead" when they were about to be inspected. Fortunately, even if they were discovered, it did not cause a big disaster.

From then on, for the sake of safety, we will never let any creature come out of the village. At the same time, we also learned a piece of information - it seems that those infected who only received minor injuries will not go through the process of 'death'

In the process, they will only gradually become tired, their thinking will not be clear, and then they will gradually transform into the 'living dead'."

Xie Feng blinked and said, "Then we can't come out after we go in?"

Conan said: "For safety reasons, I am willing to assign two to four elite soldiers to protect you on your way into the village to prevent you from being attacked by the 'living dead'."

Xie Feng smiled and said: "It's said to be 'protection', but actually it's also 'monitoring', right? If any of us are injured by the 'living dead', I think the soldiers you sent to protect us will not hesitate to wave at us."

sword."

Conan did not argue, but simply said: "There is nothing we can do about it."

Xie Feng didn't care, it was only human nature to do this, so he said: "Then when can we go in?"

Conan said: "You can do it at any time, sir."

…

When the four people walked into the village, there was a soldier with high-quality equipment in front, behind, and left of the four people, responsible for protecting the four people.

Xie Feng, who was walking at the front of the four, gently poked the soldier in front of him on the back and asked with a smile: "Brother, what is your name?"

The soldier looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a Chinese-character face and a dense curly short beard on his chin. He looked like a rough and arrogant man. The soldier was serious in speech and faced Xie Feng's questions.

He just replied calmly: "Andre."

Xie Feng asked again: "Are you... slaves?"

Andre still said calmly: "No."

"No?" Xie Fengqi asked: "It is obviously such a dangerous mission, but you are still willing to come?"

Andre rolled his eyes at Xie Feng and said calmly: "Whether you are a slave or a civilian, a soldier's mission is to obey. It is not your turn to say whether you are willing or not!"

Hearing Andre's tone, he was a little unhappy. Xie Feng quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, brother, you taught me the right lesson."

The deeper the eight people went into the village, the more pungent the smell of blood became in the air. At this time, they could see dried black blood stains everywhere, and some disgusting severed limbs could also be seen at any time.

The village roads were in a mess, with empty houses everywhere. When the wind blew, the wooden doors creaked and swayed. Although it was noon and the sun was at its strongest, it still made people feel like it was late at night.

Some are lonely and fearful.

Cecilia was a little scared and said: "Brother Feng Xie, let's go back..."

Xie Feng said: "Oh, okay, I won't give it away."

Cecilia was shocked and said: "Ah! You want me to go back alone?"

Xie Feng shrugged and said: "You can continue to be with us as long as you are willing." Then regardless of Cecilia's reaction, he asked Andre: "Hey, brother Andre, why did we leave so soon?

Didn’t you see the living dead?”

Andre said calmly: "The living dead have no thoughts and consciousness. Those who wandered around the edge of the village basically walked out of the village and were shot to death by us. The rest probably walked deeper into the village.

.”

Xie Feng couldn't help but ask: "What about the villagers? Since there are no living dead on the edge of the village, it's best to hide on the edge of the village - as long as you don't go out of the village, you won't be shot by you."

Andre said: "In the beginning, there were indeed many people hiding on the edge of the village, but those living dead seemed to be able to identify where the living people were, and they all ran to the edge, which caused a great deal of damage to our isolation and prevention.

inconvenient."

Xie Feng was shocked and said: "Is this why you forced them to run deeper into the village?"

Andre said dissatisfied: "We won't do this. At most, we will just let them gather together. They finally chose to leave the edge of the village because there was not enough food, and the mill in the center of the village still stored enough food.

Food. So we concluded that the villagers who are still alive must be guarding the mill."

At this time, Cecilia pulled the hem of Xie Feng's clothes. Xie Feng turned around and asked, "What?"

Cecilia said pitifully: "I'm hungry..."

Xie Feng looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was starting to set towards the west. Indeed, apart from eating something casually before going out in the early morning, the four of them had not eaten a grain of rice. So he discussed with Andre: "

Hey, brother, have you had lunch?"

Andre nodded.

Xie Feng said: "But we haven't eaten yet... Can you find a place for us to have a meal?"

Andre said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want without my consent - we are only protecting you, not leading you."

So everyone came to a small wooden house with a well nearby, cleaned up the debris inside a little, and then began to rest.

"Okay!" Comstock put down the big burden on his shoulders and said to Eric: "Help me find some tableware in this house, and I will make noodles for you!"

Eric, who was already hungry, immediately agreed and started tinkering in the house.

Comstock fetched a bucket of water from the well outside the house, then took out a bag from the bundle, opened it, poured it on a freshly wiped table, and poured out a lump of flour. Then

He lifted the bucket and was about to pour water into the flour.

At this time, Andre quickly stopped him and said: "Wait a minute! Maybe the water source is poisonous - we don't know how the first living dead was infected, so be careful."

Cecilia stepped forward and took the bucket, saying, "I'll do it." Then she walked aside with the bucket.

Xie Feng looked at the tray of flour on the table and said to Comstock: "Let me tell you, Master Kong. If you want to eat noodles when you are away from home, do you have to knead the dough on the spot?"

Comstock scratched his head and said innocently: "It's all like this."

Xie Feng suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a weird smile, and then said: "I have an idea."

Comstock asked, "What?"

Xie Feng said: "You can make the noodles and compress them into a cake shape, so that it is easy to carry. When you want to eat, take it out and soak it in boiling water..."

Comstock immediately shook his head and said: "No, let's not mention that noodles are easy to spoil, and the noodles cannot be cooked just by soaking in boiling water."

Xie Feng said with a smile: "If you fry the noodles in oil first, then compress them into a cake shape, and then dry them..."

Hearing this, Comstock slapped his head and said: "Oh, right! Why didn't I think of it... If you want to eat noodles like this, you can just soak them in boiling water... But fried noodles can easily deteriorate.

…”

Xie Feng said: "It's up to you to find a way. As long as you can overcome the problem of quality assurance, this kind of noodles will be very easy to sell if mass-produced. Think about it, whether it is travelers, adventurers, or the army, who doesn't want to go out?

I can also eat hot noodles instead of cold whole-grain cakes..." As he said that, Xie Feng looked back at Andre with evil intentions - at this time Andre just took out a cake and was biting it.

.

Comstock clapped his hands and said in surprise: "That's right! If we can really make this kind of noodles, it will definitely shock the entire catering industry."

Xie Feng thought to himself: "It's more than shocking, it's simply subversive!"

Comstock excitedly ran to Xie Feng, grabbed both of Xie Feng's hands and said: "Feng Xie, you are so smart, how did you come up with this idea? Your idea is really great... If you join me, you can really solve the problem."

Regarding quality assurance, I will definitely name this noodle after you - how about calling it Feng Xie Noodles?"

Xie Feng smiled awkwardly and said: "Come on, others thought you were going to sew the uppers of your shoes... Since this kind of noodles can be soaked in boiling water, it's called soaking..." At this point, Xie Feng

Feng immediately stopped and thought: No! It's rare in this world that "instant noodles" are something I invented. How can I call them back to their original names? After all, the chariot has become a "windmill", and instant noodles have to be replaced.

Let me change my name - although I am not greedy or vain, I at least have a sense of accomplishment.

After much thought, Xie Feng couldn't think of a name that was appropriate and related to him. As he thought about it, Xie Feng's mind wandered. Gradually, he remembered the all-powerful days, his former companions, and

Sera...
