Chapter 82 - expect
If nothing else, the city lord has a lot of spirit stones given to him by the undead. The high-level spirit stones were given to Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, but the middle-level and low-level spirit stones can be exchanged for a lot of wealth, which can easily compensate those who left. urbanites.
After realizing the resolute attitude of the Lord of the City on the matter of transforming the city, the citizens who were unwilling to accept living in the same city as the undead had to pack their bags and prepare to leave.
They really couldn’t imagine what a terrifying sight it would be for the city to be filled with undead. Just thinking about it would make one’s body horrified and hairy on the back.
Fortunately, walking at night will not be attacked by the undead, and some people simply leave overnight.
In just one day on the ninth day, the entire Ping An City was half empty. But it was also from this day that people from other cities moved to Ping An City sporadically. Those who move in first can choose to rent an vacant house first, and they can live with a simple arrangement.
In the chaos, except for the city lord’s personal guards, no one noticed that some people disappeared forever.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian arranged for detailed registration of all those who left, who moved in, and those who stayed.
This round of migration has been lively for two days. On the tenth night, everyone who wanted to leave has left. Only a small part of the city residents are left in Ping An City. This small half of the city residents and dozens of newcomers are all After several rounds of registration by the moat, they decided to stay in Ping An City and try it out.
After the night fell on the tenth day, each family did not rest, but lit countless candles in the courtyard, and placed all kinds of food. The family gathered together, looked at the sky east of the city, and waited quietly. .
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were standing at the top of Ping’an City with Feng Konghao. They had already seen that more and more undead were slowly approaching the city that had not opened the city’s defense and spiritual defense.
At this time, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huai are inevitably a little nervous. Although the experience of the past two days has proved that the high-level undead has issued an order prohibiting all undead from attacking humans, tonight is the first day of their plan to coexist between humans and the undead. The result is unknown, naturally nervous.
The three high-level undead that Cheng Huaiqian had previously subdued have all been released, but only one was a former Ping’an City native who floated toward the courtyard before his death.
All the people who poured into Ping An City tonight are all the undead that were formed after the death of the people of Ping An City.
More than 30,000 city residents who stayed in Ping’an City witnessed this scene with their own eyes. The undead entered the city, but there was no fierce battle between humans and the undead.
Under the moonlight, countless black shadows poured into the city, spread out, and drifted randomly around some courtyards.
On the other side, in the face of the undead who entered the city, humans did not attack or escape, but just watched silently.
Even some old residents of Ping An City couldn’t help crying when they saw the undead around their courtyards and realized that they were just floating around and didn’t mean to hurt anyone.
According to the truth disclosed by the Lord of the City, these undead are their dead relatives. They couldn’t help grief at the thought of how many undead of their relatives were killed by humans because they wanted to go home and rush to the front.
Fortunately, the truth was announced, and these relatives were able to return to them smoothly.
“Cough, if one day, humans can’t help but be greedy and confront the undead again? Isn’t everything you do today a waste of effort?”
The sick Feng Konghao was a little weak, but he still insisted on standing at the highest point of Ping’an City to witness this scene with his own eyes. The great revenge has been avenged. Now he is much more relaxed, and he only has the wish to wait for the return of his relatives. He asked Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian next to him in a calm tone.
“As long as humans rely on spirit stones to become stronger, the possibility of returning to their previous state is still very high, but at least it will be a generation or two later.
But what does that matter? History always reincarnates, and now we do what we want and can do, and we just need to have a clear conscience.
Besides, in another two or three hundred years, maybe someone will discover the truth again, and strive to make the truth known to the world. “
Xia Ruize smiled and answered indifferently.
Human beings will oppose the undead once because of greed, and it is possible to oppose the undead a second time because of greed, so what? They just did what they wanted to do.
At least in this time period in this mission world, they disclosed a long-buried historical truth, and really contributed to the peaceful coexistence of human beings and the undead. This is what they wanted to do, they did it, and that was enough .
To put it bluntly, after the mission time limit has passed, who cares about the flood?
If Ping An City wants to continue to operate, it will definitely encounter various problems, but that is all the city owner’s business.
The city owner looked at the two people next to them. They were not wearing the cloaks they had when they first met, and their faces were not blocked by the hoods. Since the establishment of the cooperative relationship, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian completely took off their disguise and only focused on the plan to promote the process.
Looking at these two people younger than him, the city lord was in a good mood, and the young man was still motivated. He even turned his plan into a completely different direction, which was terrifying.
The three stood at the highest point of the city and observed for more than an hour. The whole city was still calm, and Feng Konghao decided to go back to rest. He has turned off the anti-spirit hood of the City Lord’s Mansion, and now he only hopes that the undead of his family can remember the way home sooner and come back smoothly.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize had been busy day and night for the past few days, and they were already exhausted. At this time, seeing that everything in the city was normal, they also accepted Feng Konghao’s invitation and went back to the guest room of the City Lord’s Mansion to rest together.
Interestingly, a courtyard near the city lord’s mansion they passed by was the home of the newly promoted undead king. As the undead king, he could communicate with his family. At this time, he was sitting at the front of the courtyard, testing the teachings one by one. full of descendants.
The head of this family is the captain of the defense team. No matter how prestige he is outside, he can only sit down and respect the undead king as grandfather, because this undead king is his grandfather who passed away for 21 years.
Under the moonlight, the figure of the Undead King was very similar to that before his death. He was tall and mighty, but his voice was very kind, which made the captain of the defense team feel emotional.
When he was young, his martial arts were taught by his grandfather. When he grew up, he was separated from his grandfather. Who would have thought that after more than 20 years, he would see his grandfather again?
As for the father of the defense team captain, the old man who is now in his sixties is crying bitterly while hugging his father’s undead leg.
“My son doesn’t have to cry, death is not the end. When you die, you may continue to advance through good luck, and you may be reunited with your family. Hey, that undead is your mother, and that is your younger sister who died when you were young. I think you should return it. There are other people’s undead, but it will take a while to return.”
The Undead King touched his son’s gray-haired head with his hand and comforted him. After becoming an undead and floating for decades, he really looked down on life and death. Anyway, he will become an undead after death. Although the probability is small, it is still possible to recover. Wise, what’s so scary about death?
The Undead King casually pointed to a few undead who had not recovered their sanity, but instinctively floated around the courtyard, and introduced them to everyone with great interest. As the undead, he can perceive the difference between these undead, and can distinguish the undead of the relatives who were familiar before birth.
The great-great-grandson, who was only four years old, was too young. In just two days, he still could not understand why the undead, who was once regarded as an enemy, had become a relative. Looking at the dark undead floating around, he was afraid that he could not help but fall into the arms of his mother and let out a loud voice. burst into tears.
His mother looked at the condemning eyes of the relatives around her, and embarrassedly picked up her son and returned to the room to comfort him.
The Undead King was not disappointed. To be honest, being able to talk to his former relatives peacefully has far exceeded his previous expectations. He was only promoted to Undead King this year, and he immediately learned of the transaction between the lord of Ping An City and the Undead. It has always been very contradictory.
Fortunately, the city lord of Ping An City changed his plan, his contradictions were easily resolved, and he was very satisfied.
Besides, the older great-grandsons in the family have already accepted the truth and stood quietly in the courtyard waiting for him to take the test. Thinking that the situation of the undead in Ping’an City will get better and better in the future, he is in a good mood, but hehe.
Feng Konghao and Xia Ruize, Cheng Huaiqian, who were passing by, saw the scene in the Undead King’s house.
After returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian checked into the guest room in the outer courtyard, and fell asleep quickly after exhaustion. Feng Konghao was lying on the reclining chair in the center of the inner courtyard, looking at the constantly turning mourning flags, without fear in his heart, only looking forward, patiently waiting for the return of his wife and children.
After dawn on the eleventh day of the mission, all the evil spirits below the high level in Ping An City were gone.
There are only some high-level evil spirits in the city, and even higher evil spirits, and they can move freely during the day.
The familiar townspeople walked out of the house and exchanged their feelings about the previous night, but it was a pity. Except for the high-level evil spirits that can vaguely interact with humans, the low-level evil spirits and the middle-level evil spirits will only keep wandering around their former homes, unable to give their families more reactions.
However, what reassured everyone was that the undead really did not attack each other with humans. As long as those floating shadows were ignored, it seemed that there was not much difference from the previous life.
Unlike ordinary city residents, who mostly feel chatting, the most complicated ones are the spirit-hunting warriors who stayed in Ping An City. They never thought that one day they would coexist peacefully with the undead.
The spirit-hunting warriors gathered at the Homecoming Tavern, drinking glass after glass in a dull atmosphere. The current situation makes them overwhelmed, but they don’t want to leave Ping’an City for the time being, but seeing the undead appearing around their courtyard, their mood is really complicated, and they don’t know what else to do except get drunk.
At this time, in the city lord’s mansion, the city lord is receiving visitors from the deep sea.
Several undead kings and undead emperors who were not natives of Ping’an City during their lifetime wanted to come to Ping’an City during the day to experience human life.
They have been undead for a long time. When they were promoted to high-level undead, their former relatives had already turned into undead. In addition, at that time, humans were opposed to the undead. After returning to their former homeland for a few times, they stayed on the seabed and did not go out to sea.
