With Lu Li's efforts, the lives of the villagers in Carlo Village were finally saved.
It took the Knights most of the day to clear out this batch of mutated zombies.
They trapped the infected villagers in a deep pit.
Almost all the villagers in Carlo Village are here, but Lu Li still hasn't been able to find his mother.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Seeing this, the Sky-breaking Halberd came up to comfort Lu Li.
"Steve, don't worry, maybe your mother is not infected but just ran away?"
Lu Li originally thought so, but when he thought about the big hole in the roof, he always felt a little uneasy.
What kind of attack can directly smash through the roof?
If the mother had not been infected, where would she have gone?
Can she, a weak woman, really survive in such a dangerous place?
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more upset he became, so he simply put these things behind him.
The whereabouts of my mother need to be found, and the villagers of Huangsha Village and Kalo Village also need to save her!
That evening, the Knights returned to Rice City.
Lu Li followed the Skybreaking Halberd to Mullin's office.
"Steve, what are you doing here? Why don't you quickly find a way to rescue the people in your village?"
Mullin looked at Lu Li doubtfully.
"Old man Mu, I have important news to tell you when I come back this time."
Lu Li said with a serious face.
"Oh? Important news? Then you should come and listen! If you dare to trouble me with some trivial matters, I will throw you out immediately! I am very busy now!"
Mullin said threateningly.
"I accepted a commission two days ago, and the commissioned person is Polly."
Lu Li said slowly.
"Polly? Which Polly?"
Mullin asked.
"That's Elwin's enchanter."
Skybreaking Halberd added from the side.
"Oh, it's that guy. I have an impression, what? Is this your important news?"
"Polly entrusted me to accompany him to the desert. He also said that he would pay me 10,000 gold coins when the task is completed."
"Why is he, an enchanter, going to the desert?"
Mullin asked curiously.
"He said he was going to find the desert temple, but after he found it, he wouldn't let me in and asked me to stay outside."
"Then what?"
Mullin asked.
"Then... not long after, the temple suddenly exploded."
"It exploded?! Where's Polly?"
Mullin asked quickly.
"It's gone, and the desert temple turned into ashes..."
When Lu Li lied, his face remained calm and his heart did not beat. Mullin had no suspicion at all.
"this……"
When Mullin heard this, he was a little confused.
"Captain, Poli is a popular figure next to His Highness Elwin. How should we explain to him?"
The Skybreaking Halberd on the side asked.
Mullin frowned slightly, thought for a while and then said: "It's a bit troublesome. After all, he happened under the hands of the Knights. I guess he will have to waste more words."
The two exchanged opinions and made a decision.
"Okay, Steve, I already know the matter. You can go back and wait for the news. I will send someone to inform you if necessary."
Mullin said to Lu Li.
"Ah? But..."
"But what? Do you have any objections?"
Mullin's tone was a little unhappy.
"Old man Mu, I haven't reported any important news yet! Isn't it appropriate for you to drive me away now?"
Lu Li said with some embarrassment.
When Mullin and the Sky-breaking Halberd heard this, they both looked strange.
Polly is dead. Isn't that important news?
"Okay, then hurry up and say it."
Mullin sat back down.
"Old man Mu, can I ask you a question first?"
Lu Li asked tentatively.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly! If you have a fart, hurry up! Why are there such ink stains!"
Mullin finally couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table and shouted.
"When did those mutated monsters start to appear in the Border Land?"
Lu Li asked.
"The earliest news should have appeared two days ago, but we only received it today."
Skybreaking Halberd explained.
"Two days ago..."
After hearing the news, Lu Li also fell into deep thought.
According to the pigs, those mutant zombies started to appear about two days ago.
Although not the same place, but at the same time.
Two batches of mutant zombies appeared in two places thousands of miles apart at the same time.
This is hard not to make people suspicious.
"Why are you pretending to be serious! If you have anything to do, tell me immediately! I'm still busy cleaning up your mess!"
Mullin slammed the table and said impatiently.
"After Polly died, I passed a village on my way back and spent the night there."
"At night, a group of mutated zombies suddenly appeared in the desert and attacked the village."
Lu Li deliberately concealed the things about the horse bandits and pig people. These were secrets, and Lu Li did not intend to tell him even to Mullin.
After hearing this, Mullin finally couldn't calm down anymore.
"What! There are mutated zombies in the desert too?! What happened to the villagers?"
"I tried my best to kill all the monsters, but unfortunately, all the villagers in the village were infected."
"There is no other way. I can only lock them together and then come back to you."
Lu Li lamented.
After listening to Lu Li's narration, Mu Lin looked ugly and paced back and forth.
"Captain, mutated zombies appeared in the desert and the borderland at the same time. Is there any connection between them?"
Broken Heaven Halberd asked.
"I think so too, but these two places are thousands of miles apart, and it's simply unbelievable that monsters appear at the same time!"
Mullin said in agreement.
"Captain, tell me, has this happened in other places as well, but we haven't gotten the news yet?"
The Skybreaking Halberd expressed his worries.
"It's very possible! Skybreaking Halberd, you should send someone to investigate quickly! If these monsters are allowed to act recklessly in the Cube Kingdom, it will be troublesome!"
After Mullin gave the instructions, the Sky-Breaking Halberd immediately left the door.
At this time, Lu Li and Mulin were the only two people left in the room.
"Old man Mu, didn't you say that the Sky-breaking Halberd is the youngest titled knight? Why did I hear that there was a guy who was even more powerful than the Sky-breaking Halberd more than ten years ago, and he had already reached the threshold of a titled knight in his early twenties?
"
Lu Li couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.
"Where...did you hear this news?"
Mullin's eyes changed and he stared at Lu Li and asked.
"I heard it from Polly on the way..."
Lu Li casually made up an excuse to deal with it.
Mu Lin observed Lu Li for a long time and didn't see anything strange, so he felt a little more at ease.
"That man was already dead. He fell into a pile of monsters while on a mission and was torn into pieces."
After Mullin finished speaking, he closed his mouth.
No matter how Lu Li asked, he refused to say anything.
"Okay, go back and study how to save people! I still have things to do!"
Mullin drove Lu Li out of the office and slammed the door.
Seeing Mu Lin's reaction, Lu Li became more suspicious.
What exactly happened that year, and why did Mullin keep it secret whenever he mentioned it?
"If you don't tell me, then I will check it out myself. There is no airtight wall in the world! I don't believe that I can't find it out!"
Lu Li snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Mullin had actually been hiding behind the door and eavesdropping.
Hearing Lu Li's words, he had mixed emotions.
It wasn't until Lu Li walked away that he let out a sigh of relief.
