Mortal Mirror

Just as everyone was extremely nervous, all the zombies actually began to turn around and retreat like a tide. They were actually leaving.

These zombies left without a trace of hesitation, leaving everyone bewildered in the wind.

For a long time, Li Ergou couldn't believe what was happening. Why was this happening? Why did those zombies just leave like that? It was really unbelievable.

Li Ergou was dumbfounded, the three giants of the county were dumbfounded, all the constables and all the townspeople were dumbfounded.

Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly. The county magistrate cried with joy and said, "Heaven will not destroy my Kushui County, Heaven is helping me!"

Seeing that the zombies had really retreated, everyone couldn't help but cry with joy and hug each other and cry. But now was not the time to be happy. Everyone immediately returned to the city to kill those zombies who could not leave. After a busy time, the sky had already begun to darken.

Because eggs could detoxify corpse poison, the people in the city who were bitten did not become zombies, which was a blessing in disguise. Even so, in this battle, more than 30 constables died, most people suffered minor injuries, and thousands of villagers in the city were killed by the zombies who attacked the city.

Countless houses in the city were destroyed, and the losses were heavy.

Li Ergou ignored these things, but was wondering what those zombies were going to do. He felt a greater sense of crisis in his heart, so he decided to tell the three giants of the county about his doubts.

In the plum blossom hall of the county government office, only eight people were seated here: the three giants of the county, Li Ergou, and four constables.

The atmosphere in the hall was very anxious. Although Li Ergou had expressed his doubts, he felt relieved, but everyone became more nervous. What Li Ergou said was correct, this matter was no small matter, and it concerned the life and death of Kushui County.

Everyone was shrewd and naturally understood that this matter was not simple. The zombie who made the sound must be very powerful. If they didn't understand what that guy was, no one would feel at ease.

If that guy came with a group of corpses, Kushui County would definitely suffer a catastrophe.

But the zombie was powerful, and the three giants naturally refused to take risks. The remaining constables were not strong enough, and Li Ergou was the most suitable candidate. However, Li Ergou had just fought a great battle and was extremely brave, but he was also very tired at the moment, so it was not good for everyone to force him to go.

So the hall became very silent.

This matter could not be delayed, and it was not a solution to keep delaying it. There were still many things in the city that the three of them had to deal with.

So, the county magistrate cleared his throat twice and said with a hint of majesty in his eyes: 'I think everyone should understand that this matter is very important, so we must choose a capable and responsible person to handle this matter.'

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded in agreement.

He looked at Li Ergou again and said, "Ergou, look, you are the only one among these people who can do it. Although we all know that you are very tired, we can't find a more suitable person at this time."

Li Ergou was not stupid either. He knew very well that there was no one more suitable than himself. It's just that this matter was so dangerous, and you wanted someone to rush up with just a few words. Isn't this just bullying people? Li Ergou naturally didn't want to do it. Anyway, everyone would die together, and he didn't have more heads than others.

Without benefits, you want people to send themselves to death. Li Ergou naturally disdained it.

So, he was silent for a while, and everyone smacked their tongues when they saw this. The three giants of the county were also a little depressed. After all, Li Ergou was now the pillar of Kushui County, and everyone had to pay attention to his opinions. If he really didn't want to go, everyone had no choice.

Everyone was looking at Li Ergou expectantly at this moment, wondering whether you would give a sound if you went or not.

Li Ergou felt that the atmosphere was right, and then sighed: "According to the truth, I, Li Ergou, as a constable of Kushui County, have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter.

It's just that, as you all know, I have just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, and my cultivation is shallow. I still need to apply for a Great Martial Master.

If I die, so be it, but if I suffer any serious injuries, wouldn't I miss the opportunity to become a Great Martial Master?

Alas, I heard that the Great Martial Master is very difficult to pass. This is a very annoying thing. I really want to improve and serve the people."

He glanced at everyone and then continued: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm afraid of death, I'm just afraid that I won't be calm at that time and affect my performance. If I accidentally disturb the zombies and ruin the plans of the adults, it will be terrible."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Li Ergou's words, thinking, what time is it, this guy is still thinking about his title, this is too obsessed with officialdom.

The county magistrate was not stupid either. He understood Li Ergou's words at once. After a long time, he just wanted benefits. What is this? At this time, don't say you want an official, even if you want ten or eight beauties, the county magistrate will definitely satisfy your conditions.

So the county magistrate said without hesitation: "Well, Li Ergou is right, such a dangerous thing must be done without distractions. I think, let's do this, our county has a quota for recommending a Great Martial Master every five years. I have decided that whether this matter is successful or not, our county will give this quota to Li Ergou.

In addition, Li Ergou performed very well in this battle and set an example for us. I have decided to make an exception and promote him to the deputy chief constable of the county government. If you have no objections, Li Ergou will take office immediately."

As soon as these words came out, where would anyone dare to object? Even the county magistrate's face was full of anger, but he didn't dare to say anything more, otherwise, wouldn't it cause public anger? If Li Ergou quit, and the county magistrate got angry and let him take the blame, it would be terrible.

So, although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, he was still not stupid and did not express any objections.

Li Ergou was promoted quickly because of this. He was happy in his heart and immediately reciprocated and said: "We people of the imperial court must naturally serve the imperial court, and even more so for the adults and the people of the entire county. It is not too late, I have decided to leave now."

The night is deep, the bright moon hangs high, and the wind blows, causing the branches of the trees on the mountain to shake and make a rustling sound.

About fifty miles southeast of Kushui County, there is a small mountain. The mountain is not high, only about a hundred meters high, and covers an area of three or four miles. There are no trees or grass on the mountain, and it is bare. There are only rocks scattered all over the ground.

This place is strange. Some people say that this used to be a large tomb from ancient times, so it is barren.

Others say that demonic people were buried here, which is why this situation exists.

At this moment, the mountain is shrouded in endless corpse aura, and a female corpse in red is standing in the center of the top of the mountain.
