After Xia Houyan instructed Lawrence to prepare some props "for experiments", the two officially set off.

The lord and the guards walked side by side, diagonally passing through the camp, and soon arrived at the southern edge of the camp.

But what shocked Lawrence was that the lord had no intention of stopping at all. He pressed the reins and was about to continue walking south.

"Lord!" Lawrence spoke hurriedly, stopping the lord who was frowning in thought along the way, "What are we going to do?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Xia Houyan glanced at the guard, "Let's do a magic experiment."

"Why do you have to leave the camp to do... a magic experiment?" Lawrence felt like his brain was in a mess, "Where are you planning to take me?"

"Go to the south." Xia Houyan raised the crowbar on his horse and pointed towards the south. "It's not far. Just walk another seven or eight miles and it's almost there."

South...seven or eight miles? Guard Lawrence racked his brains and thought about it. What exactly is located seven or eight miles south of the camp?

The answer is a zombie roar.

The middle-aged guard instantly turned pale.

Xia Houyan was about to continue on his way when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. When he turned around to look, he saw the respected Mr. Victor Lowry, the chief mage of the Igor family, running away from the camp in a hurry, holding the hem of his robe.

come over.

The Lord turned the horse's head and leaned down slightly, waiting for Master Laurie's advice.

"Sir Elliot!" Master Lowry stopped sharply in front of Xiahou Yan's horse and panted, "Just now, a farmer notified me that you were riding south with a guard, like

You seem to be leaving the camp—Master Elliot, what do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, Master Laurie." Xia Houyan felt a little irritated: As a noble lord, there are people meddling in my business wherever I go. "We won't go too far, only seven or eight miles away."

Master Luo Rui felt confused: "It's not safe outside the camp, why are you going over there?"

"It's nothing important. Master, just wait peacefully in the camp."

return!"

The master was immediately relieved: Well, it turns out that the Lord just went to catch someone...

What are you catching?!

Master Lowry raised his head with a pale face, and happened to see Tom Lawrence, whose face was even paler. After giving the master a sad and angry look, he also shook his riding whip and ran out after the lord.

…

Today's unexpected trip actually came from a dream Xia Houyan had last night.

The content of the dream is very simple: the lord has entered a game, holding a green peashooter in his hand - yes, a peashooter, not an AK47 - standing in the middle of his garden towards the stumbling zombies.

Crazy pouring of firepower: Xia Houyan used precise three-shot peas to kill the zombies in his field of vision one by one with headshots.

And when the lord swiped krypton gold for the dream game, and a tenth consecutive Gatling shooter (SSR) was drawn, this absurd dream began to completely develop in the direction of cool writing:

Holding a Gatling shooter, he stood on the roof of his house, using peas in succession like a string of pearls to smash all the zombies in sight into minced meat. He felt as good as in the movie "Terminator"

of Schwarzenegger.

In the second ten-game series in the dream, the prop Xia Houyan drew was a psychedelic mushroom (SSR, limited time) that can turn zombies into enemies.

At this moment, he suddenly woke up from his sleep;

A bold idea also came to mind:

Is it possible to use necromancy magic to control zombies in infected areas?

——You know, just after the "Resurrection" chapter in "Essentials of Necromancy", there is a whole chapter explaining how to control resurrected zombies!

Although the large number of "wild" zombies currently in the infected area were not resurrected by Xia Houyan personally, and they will not obey his orders at all, according to the master, the appearance of these wild zombies actually originated from the magic power of the netherworld eight hundred years ago.

Leaked, then fundamentally speaking, these wild zombies are also of the same origin as the zombies produced by the resurrection technique!

What supports their activities is exactly the same magic power!

So, is it possible to find a way to control wild zombies as well as your own?

Xia Houyan felt that this idea was worth a try.

The fundamental problem currently facing the camp is actually a serious lack of combat power and the inability to protect the 500-strong migration team. This grim reality has not been completely solved even after the lord resurrected Alice and other guards.

But if the wild zombies in the infected area can be successfully controlled...

A beautiful picture emerged in Xia Houyan's mind: the migration convoy of the Igor family was running rampant in the infected area. On both sides of the convoy, rolling waves of corpses were escorting the convoy all the way, like fanatical fans following their idols...

So, the first priority right now is to catch a zombie and try it out, right?

Thinking of this, the lord couldn't help but feel proud secretly. He was riding a galloping horse and turned back from the saddle. He was about to discuss the plan to capture zombies with the guard Lawrence, but found that the middle-aged guard was sitting upright on the horse, his eyes

Empty and dull.

"Hey!" Xia Houyan slowed down his horse and waved his hand in front of Lawrence's eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Lord..." Lawrence swallowed, then raised his hand with difficulty and pointed forward.

Xia Houyan quickly raised his eyes and looked around.

On the horizon not far away, one after another small, round objects emerged from between the sky and the earth: they were green, they were dirty, they were ugly, and they were the heads of zombies one after another!

The lord and the guards hurriedly pulled the reins of their horses and stopped at the top of a small hill: they clearly saw that just under the hill not far away, they were crowded with zombies staggering around in place - not

One, not ten, not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands, densely packed!

The endless tide of corpses and corpses spread out on the plains until the limit of vision!

"So, the current problem is," Xia Houyan squinted at the rolling tide of corpses in front of him and licked his lips excitedly, "how to find a way to get one back..."

Lawrence looked at the interested lord next to him in shock.

For a moment, he felt that the nineteen-year-old black-haired boy in front of him seemed more terrifying than the zombies at the foot of the mountain.

Xia Houyan and Lawrence lowered their movements as much as possible and carefully climbed down from the horses.

Although these wild zombies are ferocious, their hearing and vision are actually very limited - therefore, even though the top of the hill where the lord and the guards are standing is only a few dozen meters away from the tide of zombies, as long as they don't make a big noise, they will

It will not attract the attention of zombies;

However, if the zombies are accidentally disturbed, they will spread to ten and hundreds, causing the zombies on the entire plain to surge towards this direction...

This dangerous feeling of walking on a tightrope made Lawrence want to escape back to the camp and change into a pair of pants...

"Lord, Lord Lord..." he asked in a trembling voice, "These zombies are all standing together. How could you catch one of them alone?"

The guard wisely did not ask another question: Even if you really caught the zombie, how would you bring it back to the camp safely? - He believed that this question seemed a bit too far away compared to the current situation.

"Didn't I ask you to prepare the props?" Xia Houyan rubbed his hands excitedly, "Take it out, take it out!"

Lawrence tremblingly took a package from his horse, untied the knot awkwardly, and then opened the package on the ground, revealing the "props" he had prepared according to the Lord's instructions when he was in the camp before -

A long hemp rope and a dead rooster...

Xia Houyan bent down and tied one end of the hemp rope tightly to the rooster while winking at Lawrence:
Chapter completed!
