Returning to the Knights, Lu Li found that the place seemed deserted.
Even the drunkards who usually hang out in the Knights Hall all day long have disappeared.
Only the waiter at the bar was lying on the table in a daze out of boredom.
Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Why is there no one there today? Where have everyone else gone?"
Lu Li asked the waiter.
"I heard that something happened in the borderlands, and all the Knights sent out to support. Steve Knight, why are you still here?"
When Lu Li heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Are you sure this is the border land?!"
"Yes, I just left this morning. You should still be able to catch up if you go now."
Before the waiter could finish speaking, Lu Li jumped out.
A major event that requires all members of the Knights to mobilize is certainly not an easy task.
What Lu Li is most worried about right now is his mother's safety.
Carlo Village is right on the border!
It would be fine if ordinary monsters invaded, but if a tragedy like the one in Huangsha Village happened, Lu Li would never accept it.
Lu Li found a safe place and teleported directly back to his underground farm.
After returning home, the first thing Lu Li did was to confirm his mother's safety.
Unfortunately, Lu Li could not find his mother at home.
The house was in a mess and looked like it had been ransacked. The roof had even been lifted off.
It's hard to imagine what happened here.
Suddenly, shouts came from outside the house.
Lu Li quickly ran out.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
The village is full of mutant zombies wandering around.
A villager ran outside in fear, but accidentally fell to the ground.
And the mutated zombies behind him have caught up with him.
He helplessly cried out for help.
Just when the mutated zombie opened its mouth and was about to bite it, Lu Li moved.
He rushed forward with a vigorous step, unsheathed his sword in his hand, and slashed the mutant zombie away with an upward move.
"Hide inside quickly!"
Lu Li urged.
The villager was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He thanked her profusely and ran into the house.
Lu Li quickly dealt with the mutated zombie in front of him and returned to the house.
In order to prevent other mutated zombies from breaking in, Lu Li specially reinforced the door with stones.
The villager who was rescued by Lu Li collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily with a look of shock on his face.
"Have you seen my mother Tikki?"
"No……"
"Are there any other living people in the village?"
"I don't know...all the people in the village are dead...all turned into monsters..."
The villagers said with despair.
Lu Li saw that he couldn't get any news out of him, so he stopped asking any more questions.
"You stay in the house, it's relatively safe here. I'll go out and see if there are any other people alive!"
After saying that, Lu Li brandished his sword and flew out through the hole in the roof.
The villager looked stunned.
Lu Li stood on the roof and began to look around at the situation.
If the mother had really been killed, she would probably have been infected and turned into a monster.
No matter what she becomes, Lu Li must find her and bring her back!
Along the way, Lu Li encountered many villagers turned into monsters.
Seeing this scene, Lu Li felt mixed.
Since they cannot own a synthesis platform, they cannot even use weapons to resist monsters.
They had to turn in so much food to the royal city every year, and in the end they couldn't even provide for themselves.
This is the exploitation of the people at the bottom by the rulers at the top.
Lu Li eats and drinks in the royal city every day, but completely forgets that his mother is still suffering here.
Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
If I had brought my mother to the city earlier, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
Lu Li circled around the village but couldn't find his mother.
Going further, we reach the entrance of the village.
From a distance, Lu Li saw a group of people gathering at the entrance of the village.
"He's from the Knights!"
Unexpectedly, I met them here.
At this time, they were surrounding the village entrance, killing mutated zombies.
Lu Li shouted that something was wrong and rushed forward.
"Stop! Who is it!"
Several knights on guard stopped Lu Li and asked.
Only then did Lu Li realize that he had forgotten to put on the armor of the Knights.
Seeing Lu Li reveal his identity, several people let Lu Li in.
.
As soon as he entered the team, Lu Li immediately pushed his way to the front and shouted: "Stop! Everyone stop!"
Everyone was startled by Lu Li's actions and looked at him doubtfully.
"Steve! What are you doing! Get out of the way! It's dangerous here!"
A loud shout came from the crowd.
The Skybreaking Halberd slowly walked out from behind.
"Heaven-Breaking Halberd! You're here too! Great!"
Lu Li quickly stepped forward.
"Steve! Get out of the way, we are on a mission, not joking! If these monsters are allowed to break out of the defense line of Carlo Village, the border land will be completely ruined!"
The Skybreaking Halberd said seriously.
"I know! I don't mean to stop you. I just hope that you can only kill mutated zombie monsters and don't kill infected villagers!"
Lu Li said.
"Why? Steve, these villagers have been infected, they are no different from those monsters! Don't be naive!"
Skybreaking Halberd said.
"No! Monsters are monsters, and people are still people! They are only temporarily infected, and there is a possibility of returning to normal! If you kill them, you are killing someone!"
"Steve! Can you stop messing around! These villagers are hopeless! Only death can relieve their pain!"
Although the Sky-breaking Halberd was already a little impatient, he was still communicating with Lu Li.
If anyone else had stopped him, they would have been stabbed to death by his trident.
"Heaven-Breaking Halberd, I said, I can make these villagers return to normal. Do you believe it?"
As soon as Lu Li's words came out, everyone present showed a strange expression.
"Steve, I know that Carlo Village is your hometown, and you may not have the heart to attack these villagers, but the facts are before you, so just accept your fate."
The Sky-Breaking Halberd did not take Lu Li's words seriously at all.
Lu Li looked lonely, knowing that the situation was irreversible.
He admitted that he had selfish motives.
The Heaven-Breaking Halberd waved his hand and was about to give the order to continue killing the monsters.
Suddenly, someone interrupted him.
"Wait a minute!"
Hearing this voice, a glimmer of hope rekindled in Lu Li's eyes.
"See the leader!"
When hundreds of knights around saw the arrival of the knight leader Mullin, they all knelt down respectfully.
The Skybreaking Halberd also bent down and bowed to Mullin.
Only Lu Li stood there, motionless.
"Old man Mu! You're finally here! I have something to ask you for!"
Lu Li said quickly.
"I just heard your conversation from behind."
"Heavenly Halberd, just follow Steve's words. Don't kill the infected villagers yet. Dig a hole and trap them!"
Lu Li was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Old man Mu! You have really helped me a lot!"
"Hmph, don't get too complacent, kid. I'll give you a week. If you can't find a way to get them back to normal, I'll have no choice but to kill them. Do you hear me?"
Mullin said.
"Ah...one week is too short, isn't it?"
Lu Li was a little embarrassed.
"If you don't agree, then we will take action now."
"Don't bother! Just one week! I will definitely give you an answer then!"
