Breath of the Dead

Chapter 211 Zombie Rising Victoria (63155)

 Under Gu Xi’s inquiry, Luna quickly explained the situation in Victoria City.

 It turns out that the incident at Westminster Abbey last time added the final fire to Victoria's already precarious situation.

 It exploded the powder keg of Victoria.

  The seventh urban transformation has begun early.

 For the nobles in Victoria City, this was an opportunity and carnival.

 But for the city of Aridovi, this is a big trouble, because in this mirror world, a new city of Aridovi will appear again.

This will make the already chaotic mirror space even more chaotic.

If this is just good, at most it means that there are more cities that can be captured in the mirror world where Alidovi is.

 But this chaos temporarily severed the connection between the city of Aridovi and the city of Victoria.

 The two cities became inseparable. This is how Luna and Shaya were trapped in Victoria City and could not return.

If the owl sent by Gu Xi hadn't desperately delivered the letter to Luna, maybe Luna would have planned to take Shaya to the mirror underground palace again.

As soon as Luna explained the situation, Gu Xi turned to look at Shaya.

At this time, Gu Xi noticed that there were several undead beings following Sha Ya.

Except for the leader of the skeleton mage, several of these undead looked like something Gu Xi had never seen before.

Their skin looks like a burnt mud shell, and there are lines of flames on the surface of the skin.

 “Who are these?”

Gu Xi pointed at the undead and asked.

"They are the housekeeper I hired to take care of the small building, the Sheriff of Greenwich Street, and the young lady from the neighbor's house. But something has happened to them. I'm afraid their situation will be bad."

Shaya explained the origins of these undead.

 Gu Xi glanced at them and thought that their situation was not very good. They had all become undead. How could they be better?

However, Gu Xi did not complain about these people, but asked: "What's Victoria's situation now?"

 “What else could it have been, a cinder riot.”

Shaya curled her lips.

“Cinder? Is it the energy source of the steam power behind the small building? Why are they rioting? Are they rioting because there is a lack of this in the city?”

As Gu Xi listened, he became even more confused.

“No, sir, in fact, their current situation is that of incomplete combustion of cinders.”

 “Them? Cinder?”

Gu Xi looked at the undead in front of him in surprise. He could not tell at all that there was any direct connection between these undead and cinders.

 Perhaps seeing that Gu Xi was not clear about the relationship, Shaya quickly explained.

“Actually, cinder disease first appeared in steam factories. In church terms, those workers were constantly exposed to the power of steam, and their bodies slowly carbonized.

This carbonization is irreversible and can only be resisted by taking away the breath of other living beings.

However, people who are sucked out of the human breath by the carbonizer, even if they are not workers in steam factories, will also suffer from this carbonization disease.

 They are going to inhale the breath of strangers from other people.

In addition, some people have discovered that the corpses of workers who died from carbonization are the best fuel. Therefore, workers who are sick are generally not taken for treatment. Instead, they are locked up in the factory until they die.

Even if a few patients with carbonization escape from the steam factory, they cannot escape the pursuit of the factory owners. "

"My God, even the bones of this worker were sold." Listening to Sha Ya's explanation, Gu Xi couldn't help but be stunned. Even though he was a necromancer, he thought that the factory owners in Victoria City had gone too far. .

“This time it was nothing serious. Many people in the whole city of Victoria knew about this situation, but everyone had to fight hard in order to survive.

 The coal riots were actually caused by many reasons, the most critical one being that someone planned to rebuild the city of Victoria.

Your Excellency, do you still remember the land increase in Camden District? "

"Remember."

Gu Xi must have remembered this incident. It was precisely because of this incident that he became attached to Sha Ya.

“This is actually because some nobles have heard the news and are hoarding land.

 As a result, something happened at Westminster Abbey. The church, military, and royal family in Victoria City focused their attention on it, and some nobles started to make small plans.

 They chose to demolish part of the building.

 For example, if a certain neighborhood is burned down and the neighborhood cannot be rebuilt after being burned, the country will be taken back for management.

I have been staying in Victoria to deal with this problem."

 “They’re really having fun.”

 Gu Xi somewhat disdains the methods used by those nobles.

“But they played bad and set fire without the ability to put out the fire. The fire burned near the Isis River. As a result, a large number of poor people were being transported there to be sent to the steam factory to let them work.

Most of these poor people have already suffered from carbonization disease. Because they have been locked up, not many people know about it, but this fire has freed them.

These poor people relied on their survival instincts to run around the city of Victoria, frantically absorbing the breath of strangers. The carbonization disease spread from one to two, and then to four, spreading more and more.

 In the end the whole of Victoria was a walking cinder. "

As soon as Gu Xi heard this, he understood that Victoria was seeking her own death.

 The current situation is clearly a carbonized version of Resident Evil.

“How will Victoria’s condition be when you come back?”

"I'm afraid it's not too optimistic. The church and the royal family are all focusing on Westminster Abbey, and there is simply no spare time.

The army had no orders and could not march into the city, and the private soldiers of the nobles could not withstand the attack and could only defend their territory.

 So the current Victoria City is probably no longer viable.

 It was the best outcome to be rebuilt after being razed to the ground by fire. "

After hearing this, Gu Xi understood why Alidovi City decided that Victoria City was undergoing its seventh change.

It seems that this city is no longer undergoing earth-shaking changes, but is about to be flattened and rebuilt.

 “What about my small building over there?”

“The small building was still there when we came here, but I’m not sure whether it can be preserved.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi also became a little silent.

He has already heard that the situation in Victoria City is quite complicated, and it is probably of no use to invest the few troops into it.

But when Gu Xi was about to give up Victoria City, he saw Luna.

Gu Xi understood that Luna and Alidovi City were closely connected.

Even though he can now expand Alidovi City through other means, he cannot cut off the connection between Alidovi City and Victoria City.

It would be difficult if we forcibly abandon Victoria City now and try to connect it later.
