For three consecutive days, the news on television has been reporting irrelevant matters.
This situation only makes Sun Yan and his group feel more anxious.
Logically speaking, such a big incident should have prompted the state army to settle things by now, right?
Yet, there hasn't been any good news, and no result is the worst result.
Fortunately, Sun Yan brought back quite a lot of supplies from the town's supermarket last ti, so his group doesn't have to worry about food and water for now.
"Jackson, are you sure this dog isn't a Hellhound? Normally, only Demons can control flas."
In the graveyard's front yard, Roken slumps on a chair, grilling a skinned chicken on flas skewered by an iron stick.
And the source of the flas is Dahuang lying on the ground, spitting fire.
Nowadays, its control over fire is increasingly precise, preventing any accidental fire outbreaks.
"Hellhound? Dahuang has the blood of a cursed beast."
Sun Yan holds a skewer of raw beef, joining in the grilling.
The supplies taken from the town's supermarket last ti included many frozen goods.
Given the limited fridge space in the main house, Sun Yan and his companions needed to consu these items first, otherwise, it'd be a sha if they spoiled.
"I wonder if there are any survivors in Gospel Town now. Going out often encounters those Living Dead; you can't stray too far from the graveyard, or returning could be troubleso."
Sun Yan's mood is heavy; he called his parents several days ago. Although Gospel Town has beco like a scene from an apocalyptic crisis,
luckily, nothing has happened in Saint Anna City, and his parents living in the city remain safe. This is the best news for Sun Yan.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Just as Sun Yan is focused on grilling at, his phone suddenly rings in his pocket.
Hurriedly pulling it out, he finds it's Chief Henry, whom he hasn't contacted in a long ti.
"Haha, Father Jackson, how have you been recently?"
The voice from the other end soon carries an almost aningful inquiry from Chief Henry.
Sun Yan imdiately asks, "Chief Henry, what's the situation outside Saint Anna City now? You should be very aware, right? Is there any insider info, spill it, I'm in Gospel Town, it's chaotic enough here to shoot a zombie crisis scene. What is actually happening in Saint Anna City."
"Sigh, you're asking ; I don't know either, Father. We had a eting just a few days ago, even the mayor is unsure of the details. Although the state army has co to suppress it,
for so reason, things aren't under control. I feel this issue isn't so simple; otherwise, it shouldn't be that even the state army can't control the situation near Saint Anna City. The city's almost about to explode from the chaos."
Chief Henry sighs, then suddenly lowers his voice: "Father Jackson, I can share so information with you. According to clues gathered by the state army, the source of the incident, the first infection event, started in a town near Saint Anna City called Dongmu, which isn't far from where you are in Gospel Town,
and I suspect the truth of the problem is hidden in that place. Perhaps investigating the source could uncover the secret of the Living Dead, but for so reason, the state army doesn't seem to intend to investigate Dongmu Town, instead, they've sealed off places overrun by those Living Dead. I find sothing fishy about this."
"Dongmu Town?" Sun Yan looks aghast.
He knows the place and has even gone there once for exorcism work.
"The source is Dongmu Town..." Sun Yan mutters to himself.
That place is indeed close to Gospel Town. If the problem truly originated from Dongmu Town, no wonder Gospel Town suffered such a disaster.
After a brief conversation with Chief Henry, Sun Yan hangs up.
He senses in Chief Henry's words a hidden intention for him to investigate Dongmu Town.
But Sun Yan refuses to take the bait; he has only one life, and his companions are scarce. There's no reason to risk his life for Saint Anna City.
Such thankless tasks are best avoided. Staying safely in the graveyard and waiting out the danger is the correct choice.
After all, Saint Anna City is considered a reputable city in California, and California holds a crucial position in Arica.
No matter how daring the Arican high-ups are, they cannot let California suffer from the Living Dead's rampage.
If news leaks out, public opinion could drag the current administration into a situation beyond redemption.
"Ah!"
Just when Sun Yan hangs up the call, a beastly roar suddenly emanates from outside the graveyard.
It's a few Living Dead wandering from the wild that have turned up at the graveyard.
Sun Yan is already used to it; ever since the incident in Gospel Town, the number of Living Dead wandering the wilderness nearby has increased.
Many move closer to the graveyard, but Sun Yan and his companions aren't worried at all.
In the graveyard, the ans to fend off these Living Dead are simply too nurous.
Late night.
A rare white fog surrounds Gospel Town, like cold air leaking from a freezer, gradually enveloping Gospel Town's periter.
