Holding a knife in one hand, Zhao Yanxun walked to the gate of the house and saw that it was locked.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was thinking about a question: where is the source of the zombie outbreak.
This is very important. He must find the meteorite that caused the mutation so that he can eradicate the source of the disaster.
This place is closed, and there are no zombie outbreaks in the surrounding villages, which means that the meteorite must be in this village.
This place is not big, but it is not small. Now there is not even a living person, so it is really difficult to find meteorites.
"Maybe the clues are in this house!" Zhao Yanxun whispered.
The landing of a meteorite was regarded as a miracle. How could the landlord in the house react to it?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanxun's pupils shrank suddenly, maybe the meteorite was in the courtyard here.
"Your Majesty, there are at least thirty-four monsters inside, capture them all alive and send them back to Yuanyang?" Wang Zong asked from the side.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "Just arrest ten first, and keep the others inside. Either we will arrest them later, or let people from Yuanyang Mansion come to see them!"
It is simply unrealistic to get it all back at once.
Zhao Yanxun continued: "Although not all of them will be brought back, all the monsters inside must be tied up... This house will be searched in a while!"
"Your Majesty, what are you searching for?" Xu Hong had doubts on his face.
Looking at everyone, Zhao Yanxun said with a serious expression: "The source of disaster...meteorites!"
Everyone suddenly realized that this was indeed more important than killing monsters. Only by finding the meteorite could the problem be truly solved.
Zhao Yanxun already had a plan on how to control the zombies. To put it simply, all the zombies in the house were led to a small courtyard and locked up.
It's too easy to seduce these humanoid monsters who crave flesh and blood. Just get some new flesh and blood.
As for where the flesh and blood come from, this is a simple question. There are so many corpses outside, just find a few and throw them in.
However, Zhao Yanxun did not need to arrange these specific matters personally. Xu Hong, a hundred households, immediately ordered people to take action.
Zhao Yanxun himself led Wang Zong up the wall and observed the layout of the entire house.
The two of them ran around on the eaves, causing a commotion among the zombies inside. They ran out from the corners one after another and chased Zhao Yanxun and the two of them through the house.
They were bloodthirsty and wanted to jump onto the wall with all their teeth and claws, but they couldn't succeed.
Among these zombies, Zhao Yanxun suddenly saw two people dressed as royal guards, so he knew that these two people were Wang Zong's men.
"Your Majesty... I request your permission to kill them with my own hands later!"
Since he failed to save his brothers before, it was the only thing Wang Zong could do to help them relieve their physical suffering.
"Okay!" Zhao Yanxun nodded in agreement.
Next, they walked around the house several times before figuring out the internal structure of the house.
This is a courtyard with three entrances, which is a standard feature for wealthy families. Unfortunately, all the young and old in this family have died.
"I don't know if the people who escaped from the house and locked the door of the house escaped." Wang Zong suddenly said this.
"If he were still alive, he would definitely spread the news, so this person was not spared!" Zhao Yanxun said firmly.
Wang Zong nodded, that was indeed the truth.
At this moment, the two of them were standing on top of the wall. Under the wall was the small courtyard they had chosen to house the zombies.
This place is located in the southwest corner of the house. It can be entered from the door to the left of the hanging flower door. This is also the only door.
At this moment, Xu Hong shouted from under the wall: "Your Majesty, the bodies are ready..."
Looking around, the guards not only found four or five corpses, but also made many fresh cuts on the corpses. The smell of blood directly caused the zombies in the house to commotion.
"Bring the corpse up and lure the monster to the small courtyard below!"
The ladders were ready, and everyone carried the bodies up the wall, then threw them one by one into the yard.
The smell of blood was a completely irresistible temptation for zombies. Even if there were some who were sleeping, the guards made some noise to wake them up.
"Ouch...owoo..."
"Ouch..."
Dozens of zombies rushed into the small courtyard, jumped on the corpse and started biting it.
Such a primitive and bloody scene made everyone's scalp numb when they saw it. The "people" below were now like beasts.
Soon, dozens of zombies gathered in the small courtyard, and by careful counting, there were thirty-seven in total.
They were scrambling to bite the corpse, pushing each other for food, and didn't even notice that the door to the small courtyard was slowly closing.
But the door alone is not enough. It must be strengthened. Fortunately, there is a lot of wood outside the house.
It seems that this family wanted to renovate their house, so they prepared these timber and bricks. It was now convenient for Zhao Yanxun and his party.
After opening the gate of the house, the guards directly carried the wood in and piled it on top of the gate, reinforcing the gate beyond measure.
But the zombies inside were intent on gnawing and didn't notice the situation at all.
About half an hour passed before each of these zombies had enough to eat and drink, and began to wander around the small yard.
They were full of flesh and blood on the ground, but they still had a bloodthirsty desire for the living people on the wall.
Looking at the zombies howling at him below, Zhao Yanxun ordered Xu Hong to lead someone to stay and watch, while Wang Zong followed him down to the inside of the house.
Standing in front of a group of guards, next to a courtyard full of zombies, Zhao Yanxun lectured: "Don't be idle. The ropes have been prepared for you. Find a way to catch ten monsters!"
"As you command!"
"Be careful when arresting, don't let the monster scratch you!"
In terms of paying attention to safety, Zhao Yanxun reminded everyone as much as possible.
After the instruction, he led Wang Zong into the innermost back house.
Meteorite is a divine object descended from heaven. If it were discovered by the owner of this house, he would definitely keep it safe with him.
The most suitable room for this kind of thing is a study room.
While walking in the courtyard, Zhao Yanxun turned on the sensing function of the system, and he understood everything within ten meters.
"Your Majesty, this is the study!" Wang Zong stood outside the window and shouted.
Zhao Yanxun walked over quickly, but when he was approaching the door, he suddenly slowed down.
He didn't need to go into the house to take a look. He knew there were no meteorites inside just relying on the system's sensing function.
So he didn't want to waste any more time and continued to wander around the house with the system sensing on. This thing was very time-consuming.
After walking around the house, Zhao Yanxun's face turned gloomy and he found nothing along the way.
Since the meteorite is not in the house, it is really difficult to find it when there is no one alive here.
"My lord... are you still looking for me?" Wang Zong said cautiously.
After slowly regaining his inner peace, Zhao Yanxun said: "I'm afraid I can't find it today. Let's look for it slowly tomorrow!"
He, Zhao Yanxun, could turn on the system perception, but the range was really pitifully small, and it would take a long time to walk through hundreds of acres of fields outside.
What's more, there is a large area of mountains and forests here. Who knows where the meteorite fell. It must be a big project to find it.
Wang Zong rushed over at this moment and reported: "Your Majesty, all ten monsters have been harnessed, dragged out and tied up. What should we do next?"
After nodding, Zhao Yanxun walked over to take a look, and sure enough he saw the zombies were all tied up with more than a dozen circles of rope, and they were still roaring.
"Blow the horn and let everyone in from outside come in!"
