Since the D&G organization invested sufficient manpower and resources to build Zion as a core gathering place, it has officially entered the stage of expansion and development.
Begin to expand into surrounding areas, expand the organization's surveillance and management scope, so as to better judge the progress of the world's disease, and to generate "channels" more quickly, helping more capable gentlemen to achieve limit breakthroughs.
Such expansion reached its limit several years ago. With the emergence of the gray area, many resident locations were forced to evacuate and the scope of jurisdiction was reduced day by day.
A few months ago, the organization's third largest city, Ravenholm, was shrouded in death, and even a gentleman as strong as Sundis died in it.
The organization officially launched the "Recall Plan" to allow some special people stationed outside to return to Zion.
For example, some tailors, cemetery managers, supervisors, etc.
Of course, there are also some gentlemen who are gifted and strong but have certain character problems. They deliberately choose to leave the city and even take the initiative to be stationed in remote towns with sparse populations.
Woodtown
A remote town close to the north border where snow falls for at least two seasons every year. It is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest organization's transit station, and Zion is even farther away.
Such a remote area should have been infected by disease long ago, making it impossible for humans to survive.
In fact, there is no disease here, and there are even thousands of townspeople living here.
There was only one gentleman stationed here, and it was this gentleman who asked to come here on his own initiative.
During his years of life in the small town, he had a good relationship with the villagers and often visited their homes.
On this day,
The town of Wood, which had not been visited for several years, welcomed a carriage. It was a high-end carriage made of four skeleton horses created using resurrection magic and the latest mechanical devices.
A burly driver with a fanged mask came down, and the villagers did not dare to approach him.
The driver came to a detached bungalow with the organization's logo printed on it, restrained his evil spirit, and knocked on the door with a very respectful look.
The door was not opened, and a weak and low voice came from inside the house:
"What's the matter? You came all this way to deliver a letter."
"Here are two letters that need to be delivered to you personally. One is a recall letter from the organization, and the other is from the Shenpi Residence."
When they heard the previous part, the people inside wanted to send him away, but when the term "Shenpi Residence" appeared, the situation was different.
The door opened, and the smell of stale men's dormitories, a mixture of stinky socks and fermented sweat, rushed out.
The house was littered with all kinds of clothes that had not been washed yet, and there was even a smelly handmade sock hanging on the wall lamp to dry.
Crunch~ Crunch~ the wood blocks rub against each other.
Following the sound, I saw a wooden rattan rocking chair leaning against the corner.
A mysterious man with disheveled hair was sitting on it. His messy beard and gray hair almost covered his face. He looked like an elite among the homeless.
His thin body, like a bamboo pole, combined with the rocking chair, makes him look old.
From the dirty and even torn suit on the hanger, it can be seen that this is the only gentleman stationed in Woodtown.
Two letters were handed over.
However, the other party only opened the letter from the Shenpi Mansion. When he read the information inside, the frequency of the rocking chair gradually slowed down.
"Mr. Claude, can't you hold on... Oh~ I really don't want to leave this place! I finally got a chance to calm down and even make friends.
By the way, is there a bathroom and facial kit in the carriage? "
“Everything.”
"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to say goodbye to my friends."
When the mysterious man stood up from the rocking chair, he couldn't straighten his back for a moment.
When he finally straightened up and lifted the hair from his eyes, he revealed the appearance of a young man.
The extremely deep eye bags even looked like trenches on a battlefield, and the dark circles were extremely exaggerated, as if he hadn't slept for a month.
Stretching and breathing heavily,
Walking is also a very casual state.
The groom not only did not dare to urge him, but also lowered his head and asked: "Do you need me to help you tidy up the things in the room?"
"No~ Even if you've sorted it out, I still have to take it back to Zion to unload it, and these dirty things still need to be cleaned... Anyway, there's a high probability that I won't come back, so I'll just burn down the entire building to save trouble."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the car."
Return to the carriage,
The driver took out an encrypted personal information from the partition of the carriage. Although the young man in the information did not have such messy hair and beard, he could be determined to be the same person through the exaggerated bags under his eyes and dark circles.
Continuing to look at the personal information below, there are a few items that caught the driver's attention.
Yodsapon Garon
First Gentleman Candidate
Former Gethsemane executioner (resigned)
*Pay special attention, this person suffers from a rare disease - "Insomnia Syndrome". Due to problems falling asleep, his mood changes erratically. Please be careful with your attitude when receiving this person, otherwise you may bring about fatal disaster.
The driver also checked the layout of the carriage several times to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.
By the time Garlon finished saying goodbye to the townspeople and got on the carriage, the driver's palms were sweating.
"Um... can we set off now?"
The driver's question received no response. The unusual silence frightened him so much that he began to sweat all over.
After five minutes of stalemate, he tried to gently open the partition window at the front of the carriage.
Unexpectedly, Garlon was already lying on the soft bed in the carriage, with his clothes thrown casually on the ground.
A slight snoring sound came from his nostrils, as if he had fallen asleep.
The strange thing is that although he was snoring, his eyes remained open.
After calling out twice and still getting no response from Garlon, the driver was basically certain that the other party was in a special state of sleep, but was unable to close his eyes for some reason.
The carriage set off.
Even though the maximum speed can reach 180km/h, it still takes more than three days due to the long distance and the need to cross many dangerous mountainous areas.
Two hours into the journey, as the carriage was traveling along a broken road covered with tall grass, something suddenly jumped out from the woods on both sides.
The driver immediately took out his hot weapon, a specially reinforced shotgun, and accurately killed the suspicious life.
Upon closer inspection, it was just a sick monkey.
The ape grew four extra deformed human legs and feet on his lower body, which combined with his own legs allowed him to run at an extremely fast speed.
However,
As the monkey was shot, a large number of monkey barking sounds were instantly heard in the forest, and eyes like green light bulbs appeared in the depths of the forest.
"Oops!"
Just as the driver was about to speed up and flee,
Like a tide, a group of sick monkeys swarmed out from the woods on both sides, including a giant ape shaped like a tank with a human face on its chest.
Just as the driver was about to force his way out,
Buzz!
His brain suddenly fell into a short period of stagnation.
When he came to his senses and opened his eyes again, he realized that he had actually fallen asleep in such an emergency situation!
Not only him,
The horses that were resurrected by necromancy were also sleeping, and the carriage had been parked there since a while ago.
At this moment, a scene that the driver would never forget came into view.
The road and the nearby forest area within a hundred meters were filled with the corpses of sick monkeys, none of which were intact.
Some were smashed, some were cut into several pieces, and some were even twisted into a knot.
The driver quickly opened the window of the carriage and saw that Garlon was still sleeping in the same position as before, his body had not moved at all...
