Chapter 218 Amazing Discovery

On the way to Heilin Town, Zhen Jian learned a lot of information from Zhao Ping'an.

For example, Heilin Town is a small town closest to the border dark forest in the entire territory of Zhangshan County.

There are a total of more than 8000 permanent residents in the town, and more than 300 soldiers are stationed there.

The entire Heilin Town is mainly planted with wheat. At the same time, there are several pastures in the town, which raise a large number of cattle and sheep.

Most of these livestock grains are supplied to the Great Ming West Frontier United Front Area.

An hour later, Zhen Jian and others arrived in Heilin Town smoothly.

rumbling...

At this time, in the sky covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning flashed.

Not long after, it rained heavily.

Zhen Jian patted the water drops on his head, and under the leadership of Zhao Pingan, he entered the office building of Heilin Town. There were a few ordinary people dressed as herdsmen sitting in the hall on the first floor waiting.

After watching Zhao Ping'an and Zhen Jian come in, they all got up and saluted.

"Hello sir!"

Zhao Pingan waved his hand and introduced to everyone: "This is Senior Colonel Zhen Jian from the Independent Special Operations Department. He was ordered to investigate and tell him everything you know."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhen Jian and said, "These are herdsmen from Heilin Town. Among the more than 500 people missing in the town, there are their family members."

Hearing this, Zhen Jian took a look at the herdsmen and found that they were all plainly dressed honest people, feeling a little puzzled.

"Colonel Zhao, do they know some important information?"

Zhao Pingan said: "I don't know if it's important or not. On the night of their disappearance, their family members had behaved abnormally, and they happened to see them."

"Unusual behavior?"

Zhen Jian's heart moved, he cast his eyes on an old herdsman, and asked, "Is anyone in your family missing?"

Facing Zhen Jian's inquiry, the old herdsman was obviously a little nervous.

For ordinary herdsmen like them, those commanders who wear military rank badges are all big men, especially the commanders who wear the rank of a colonel are even more remarkable.

He said with some embarrassment: "Returning to the officer, my youngest son disappeared in the night seven days ago."

"Seven days ago?"

Zhen Jian continued to ask: "What was the situation at that time? Tell me in detail."

The old herdsman lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "That night, it seemed to be the middle of the night, I heard the dogs in the yard barking non-stop. I thought it was a wild fox who came to steal the chickens, so I got up and called my little son, and I was going to let him go. As soon as he went out with me to check, it turned out that something was wrong with him."

"In the dark room, the lights were not on, he just stood upright by the window, staring straight at the outside, I called him, but he ignored me, I thought he was drinking with people on the ranch during the day More, and I didn't care too much."

"I saw him call him not to move, so I went to the yard to check the chicken coop, and found nothing unusual, so I went back to the house to sleep... When it was dawn in the morning, I urged him to work on the ranch, but he was gone It's..."

Having said that, his eyes became a little dim.

Zhen Jian asked him some more questions, but he didn't find any valuable information.

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Jian asked several other herdsmen, and they all said the same thing.

All of these missing people disappeared in the middle of the night.

And these few missing people, before they disappeared, would stand in front of the window, staring straight at the outside.

Feeling that there was not much useful information to be asked from these herdsmen, Zhen Jian let them go back.

The torrential rain outside has begun to abate.

It is estimated that it will stop soon.

Zhen Jian looked at Zhao Pingan who was standing beside him, and asked, "How far is it from the Dark Forest?"

"Not very far."

Zhao Pingan took him to the window, pointed to the vast pasture in the distance, and said, "Pass through that pasture and walk about [-] kilometers forward, and you can see the dark forest."

Zhen Jian nodded, and asked again: "Are all the cemeteries on your side gathered together?"

"Yes."

"After the rain stops, take me there to have a look."

Half an hour later, the rain finally stopped.

The ground was muddy.

Zhao Pingan took Zhen Jian and others to the cemetery to check.

The cemetery is located in the northeast of Black Forest Town, where there is a large wilderness.

On the wilderness, densely packed with small soil bags.

Zhen Jian came to those tombs and began to observe them carefully.

After his observation, he found that in all the tombs here, there was a waist-thick hole, and the corpses buried in it all disappeared.

After Zhang Zhicheng's digging and investigation, and the information provided by Zhao Ping'an, they came to a conclusion.

These tombs were not excavated artificially, and the corpses buried in them seemed to have crawled out by themselves.

All the corpses crawled out of the grave by themselves?
This kind of thing is simply weird to the extreme.

Zhen Jian stood in the middle of the cemetery, looked around, and found that there were at least several thousand tombs in this area.

This is still a visible grave.

Like some old graves, the mounds above them have long since disappeared, and are covered with weeds and trees. If it weren't for a hole in the ground, ordinary people would not be able to find it at all.

"Lord Lord!"

Suddenly, Zhang Zhicheng pulled Zhen Jian aside with a solemn expression, and said in a low voice, "This task may be very difficult."

Seeing that he was so serious, Zhen Jian hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything?"

Zhang Zhicheng nodded, "Before I came here, when I heard what you said, I was a little skeptical. I just went to the cemetery to check again, and now I can basically determine that there is an extraordinary descendant hidden nearby. If I guessed correctly If so, he should be a wizard who summons and controls the undead."

"Necromancer?"

Hearing this name, Zhen Jian felt a little weird.

You know, the necromancer profession was often seen when playing games before, and this evil profession was often mentioned in some film and television dramas and novels.

He never expected that when he came into this world, he actually met a necromancer.

Although it's just a guess at the moment, but looking at Zhang Zhicheng's appearance, I feel that it is almost the same.

Thinking of this, Zhen Jian couldn't help asking: "How can you be sure that it was the necromancer?"

Zhang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled wryly, "One night 30 years ago, in a dark forest, my team was attacked by necromancers."

After speaking, he unbuttoned it, revealing a hideous scar on his chest.

Zhen Jian looked at his scar and asked curiously, "Is this caused by a necromancer?"

Zhang Zhicheng nodded, "At that time, there were more than 300 people in my team. We camped in the forest, but in the middle of the night, a group of skeleton soldiers with weapons suddenly came and attacked our camp. Except for a few of our commanders who fled Except for those who came out, the rest of the army was wiped out."

"The wound on my chest was cut by a skeleton soldier with a knife. If my brother hadn't saved me, I would have died at the hands of those skeletons."

After listening carefully, Zhen Jian couldn't help asking: "Before you entered the forest, did you also see a cemetery nearby?"

"Correct!"

Zhang Zhicheng nodded resolutely, "Just like the current scene, a big hole appeared in all the tombs, and the corpses inside disappeared. Although we thought it was strange at the time, we didn't take it to heart, thinking that a wild animal took the corpse After leaving, I later found out that it was the skeleton army of the necromancer."

Zhen Jian pondered for a moment, "Apart from the skeleton soldiers, did you see that necromancer?"

"no!"

Zhang Zhicheng shook his head and said: "At that time, we were besieged by a large number of skeleton soldiers, and we were extremely panicked. We only wanted to escape as soon as possible, and there were other thoughts."

"How is the combat effectiveness of those skeleton soldiers?"

"The fighting power is mediocre! I just can't die no matter how hard I fight!"

"refuses to die?"

Zhen Jian was a little surprised, "So evil?"

Seeing that the lord was not convinced, Zhang Zhicheng sighed: "You have never experienced that kind of scene, so it is hard to believe. The situation at that time was very strange. All the skeleton soldiers, even if they were broken up, would soon be able to automatically join together Get up and fight on."

"Facing a group of immortal enemies, you don't know how desperate we were at that time!"

"In that case, how did you escape?"

Zhang Zhicheng lowered his head and thought for a while, "It seems that after we ran out of a certain area, the gang of skeleton soldiers didn't come after us."

Hearing this, Zhen Jian said casually: "According to what you said, how do I feel that you accidentally broke into the forbidden area of ​​a certain necromancer, and then there were a large number of skeleton soldiers guarding it. As long as you leave that area, they will kill you." I won't attack you anymore."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Zhicheng was taken aback for a moment.

He patted his head violently, "Yes, I haven't thought about it for so many years."

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and stared into Zhen Jian's eyes.

"My lord, do you think there is such a forbidden place for wizards near Black Forest Town, like those investigation teams before, and the army led by a commander, are all trapped in it?"

"It's very likely."

Looking at the still gloomy sky, Zhen Jian muttered to himself: "If there is really a necromancer hiding nearby, and people have been missing in Black Forest Town for more than a month, it can be deduced from this that he must He is practicing some kind of evil witchcraft, and needs a large number of skeleton soldiers to protect him!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhicheng nodded, "I think Lord Lord's analysis makes sense."

At this time, Zhao Pingan also heard their conversation, and immediately came behind them, and suddenly said: "If there are really necromancers hidden nearby, I have to report this to the Alliance immediately, and I must hurry up to let the whole black people People in Lin Town evacuate..."
