After repeatedly confirming that it was safe down there, Hou Shiyun opened the door and stepped out.
The fear in her eyes did not diminish at this moment. After all, what she had just seen would be a shadow that she would never be able to erase for the rest of her life.
Watching Hou Shiyun descending from the stairs, Zhao Yanxun asked the guards to go out and wait while he waited for the survivor to come down.
The guards even thought too much and even closed the door after leaving the room, which made Zhao Yanxun slightly stunned.
Are you such an impatient person?
Even if it is, it depends on when and where you are now!
Zhao Yanxun secretly complained about himself, but Hou Shiyun had already walked down the stairs. Facing Zhao Yanxun, she saluted and said: "Little girl, see the prince!"
"You recognize me?"
"The little girl was summoned by the princess. She met the prince when she entered the palace, so we know each other!"
Zhao Yanxun nodded. He wasn't that concerned about the affairs of the back house, so it was normal for him not to know.
He casually found a chair and sat down. Zhao Yanxun poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "Are you from this mansion?"
Now that she recognized Zhao Yanxun's identity, Hou Shiyun answered honestly: "The little girl is the daughter of the prefect of Yuanyang!"
"What happened in the house today? Did the monster break out from your house?"
Hou Shiyun shook her head and replied: "I don't know, it's just that my sister-in-law told me just now that my father faked his corpse!"
Hou Yunhe died, and then the corpse came back to life? Does this mean that he is the source of this infection?
"Is your sister-in-law the woman who rushed out of the room just now?" Zhao Yanxun picked up the teacup.
Hou Shiyun nodded and admitted, which made Zhao Yanxun extremely disappointed. He still wanted to question Sister-in-law Hou Shiyun!
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Yanxun stared at Hou Shiyun's pretty face and asked, "Where were you when the incident happened?"
Hou Shiyun wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and replied: "My father passed away in the afternoon. I fainted due to excessive sadness, and when I woke up, I was sent back to the boudoir!"
"My mother asked me to rest first, and said that after the uncles who were paying their condolences later left, I would go and watch my father's wake!"
"What happened next?" Zhao Yanxun put down his tea cup and asked.
"After dark, I was drinking porridge brought by my mother when I heard a sudden noise outside!"
"Then he ran over from the front yard with his two nephews, shouting daddy as he ran that he had faked the corpse!"
"Before I could recover, I heard screams coming from the front yard. I was so scared that I immediately hid in the attic!"
Seeing that Zhao Yanxun was listening carefully, Hou Shiyun tried hard to calm down his inner fear, and then continued: "The screaming stopped, but not long after... a monster rushed into the backyard!"
"At that time, the monster was outside my door. I thought I would definitely die, but my little nephew ran out and the monster was attracted by him!"
"Then my little nephew..."
Having said this, Hou Shiyun was speechless for a moment, and Zhao Yanxun did not urge him.
"The monster bit him to death, as well as my sister-in-law and my other nephew who rushed out to save people!"
Hou Yunhe is dead, Hou Yuanliang is dead, and the mother and son we met just now are also dead. Presumably Hou Yunhe's wife is also in bad luck.
Except for the woman in front of me, the Hou family must be dead.
"Is there anything unusual about your father during this time?"
Since Hou Yunhe may be the first to mutate, we have to find a breakthrough in him.
After thinking for a while and having no clue, Hou Shiyun said: "My father has been in poor health. He fell ill in bed a month ago and never recovered until he passed away yesterday..."
After raising his head and glancing at Zhao Yanxun, Hou Shiyun replied: "There was nothing unusual during this period!"
Zhao Yanxun did not continue questioning, and it was now basically certain that the zombie outbreak was related to Hou Yunhe.
"Take me to your father's room!" Zhao Yanxun stood up and said.
When I walked to the door, the guards who heard the noise outside immediately opened the door to the room.
Realizing that Hou Shiyun hadn't moved, Zhao Yanxun turned around and said, "Don't worry, it's safe outside. Come out!"
Although she still felt scared, Hou Shiyun suppressed her fear and walked out of the room.
As soon as she went out, there were several corpses outside. She was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Zhao Yanxun.
This scene was witnessed by all the guards. Although they couldn't help but want to laugh, they still held back in front of Zhao Yanxun.
"He's dead, let's go!" Zhao Yanxun took steps.
Somehow, Hou Shiyun pulled Zhao Yanxun by the corner of his clothes and followed him out.
Zhao Yanxun laughed and asked, "How are you going to lead the way?"
"It's right in front. After entering the door, go straight to my father's residence!" Hou Shiyun answered cautiously.
Under her guidance, Zhao Yanxun went all the way to the main house in the backyard.
Zhao Yanxun walked around in the bedroom where he lived, but found nothing.
When he walked out of the main room and saw the clean room on the west side, he asked Hou Shiyun beside him: "What is that place?"
"My dad's study!"
"Go and have a look!" After saying this, Zhao Yanxun walked over first.
The door was locked, so the inside was not damaged.
"My mother is keeping the key, I don't know..."
Before Hou Shijun finished speaking, he heard a "bang" in front of him, and then saw the door being opened.
For Zhao Yanxun, no key is needed to open the door, all he needs is the hand.
It was dark at the moment and the room was pitch black, but when Zhao Yanxun stepped into the room, the system immediately sounded an alarm.
This is an alarm automatically triggered by the system when zombies are within three meters.
Holding Hou Shijun's waist, Zhao Yanxun quickly exited the room, put Hou Shijun down and immediately drew his sword out of its sheath.
Seeing this, the guards all drew their swords one after another and lined up in a row to block Zhao Yanxun.
System sensing was turned on, and there was nothing in the study room where the alarm had just been triggered.
Is there something wrong with the system? Zhao Yanxun thought.
With a group of guards, Zhao Yanxun returned to the room again, and sure enough, the system alarm sounded again.
But the perception he actively turned on clearly told him that there were no zombies within thirty meters.
"Light the lamp inside!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.
Since this broken system was unreliable, he could only look at it with his eyes.
Soon the lights in the room were lit, and Zhao Yanxun looked around. It was just an ordinary study room.
The system is still sending out warnings, but except for the guards, there is not a single moving creature here.
But no matter what, there was something strange in this room, so Zhao Yanxun immediately asked people to search the place.
Being scared outside, Hou Shiyun also entered the study. After the incident just now, the way she looked at Zhao Yanxun changed.
But at this moment, Zhao Yanxun's attention fell on the box in the center of the bookshelf.
This thing is so conspicuous that Zhao Yanxun can't help but notice it.
The box is made of rosewood. It is natural that the contents inside can be stored in such a precious wooden box.
Accompanied by the rapid alarm sound of the system, Zhao Yanxun approached the wooden box.
But when he reached out and lifted the lid and saw the jade jade glowing white inside, he immediately closed the wooden box the next moment.
