Around 2 or 3 pm is when the sun is at its brightest.
Even though it's still a cloudy day, the brightness is far beyond what the dead could achieve.
Based on the short man's experience living in the ancient capital over the years, such a situation has never occurred before.
This made Asha's senses of a conspiracy.
Considering Cardinal Jiuying's plans and infiltrators in the ancient capital, Asharuya had a feeling that a storm was brewing.
Or perhaps it's the kind of danger that I can't resist that's about to strike.
As someone living in the Parthenon, where one wrong step could lead to certain doom, Azharia would never easily put herself in a dangerous situation.
Even for this trip to the ancient capital, he had already prepared enough trump cards.
However, it's best not to use your trump card unless absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, Asha's gaze fell on Su Lan and Serafina, who had chosen a fairly spacious house to enter.
She hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Although Su Lan had made her extremely angry before, she had to admit that she felt an unprecedented sense of security when she was with Su Lan.
To preserve more of their strength in the current environment, they need to gather more resources.
The short man and the strong man not far away saw Asha and her two companions enter the house that Su Lan had chosen. After thinking for a moment, they chose the small house next to theirs.
Su Lan, who had just opened the door to the two-story house, saw that the inside was relatively dry and tidy.
The living room of this house is completely unfurnished. The exterior of the house is relatively new for Huacun, suggesting that the original owner did not move in immediately after building it.
This was specially chosen by Su Lan for Serafina.
Su Lan, who had just walked in and was about to say something to Serafina, heard footsteps outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Asha Riya stepped in.
Two attendants stood in the courtyard outside the gate.
"Miss Ye, is there something you need?"
Su Lan was somewhat puzzled.
Ye Meng'e, who had been scolded by him, hadn't spoken a single word to him since the morning.
Now they've actually come looking for me?
Upon hearing the question, Ye Meng'e did not hide her request.
"Brother Lan Shu, how about we cooperate?"
"What kind of cooperation?"
"You must have seen the scene of walking in the wilderness today, Brother Lan Shu. The undead are actually active during the day."
"When I passed by a few of the undead, I felt that the effect of the gray garlic seemed to be wearing off."
"You should know that we just replenished our supply of gray garlic at noon."
"Moreover, I have a feeling that things might not be peaceful tonight. Perhaps we can temporarily stick together to reduce the risks brought by the crisis."
Asha's voice is much normal now, and her tone is still very pleasant.
At this moment, Su Lan could almost see Asharuya having to make compromises in order to preserve her fighting strength in such a dangerous environment.
Seeing the little vixen lower her head voluntarily, Su Lan did not refuse.
"Can."
Seeing that Su Lan agreed, Asha Ruya breathed a sigh of relief.
Her intuition is usually very accurate; she just hopes it won't be this accurate tonight.
Just then, Su Lan spoke again.
"but..."
"But what?"
"I'd like to ask, since you wear a black veil all day, can you see outside at night?"
Asha'ruya: "..."
Perhaps Su Lan's question was too tricky, or perhaps even Asharuya didn't expect Su Lan to suddenly ask such a question.
Finally, Asha'ruya managed to squeeze out a single word:
"Can!"
Hearing Asha's somewhat bewildered tone, Su Lan smiled and waved, then walked towards the stairwell, preparing to go up to the second floor.
The layout of the second floor is almost identical to that of the first floor, but the windows offer a better view.
As night fell, lightning and thunder struck again.
Splash! ...
Within minutes, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and torrential rain poured down from above, pounding on the concrete road and rooftops outside.
The sound of raindrops mingled with the faint howls of the dead echoing from outside the village.
Three dim lights shone from upstairs, downstairs, and in the neighboring rooms.
Just then, Su Lan and Asha Ruya downstairs simultaneously received a message.
It was sent by the short man via satellite communication.
Gray garlic is ineffective in rainy weather!
Upon seeing this news, Su Lan raised an eyebrow, showing little surprise.
Rainy days will wash away the deadly energy emitted by the gray garlic, greatly reducing its effectiveness or even rendering it ineffective.
Compared to Su Lan's nonchalant demeanor, Asha Ruya and the other two downstairs were much more solemn.
Upon seeing this message, the bearded man immediately informed Asha's mother.
Asharuya sighed.
I already had a feeling that tonight would be unsettling, and the rain only made things worse.
The grey garlic has stopped working.
The short man didn't say anything last night, perhaps because he went into the shelter.
A sanctuary naturally provides a sense of seclusion, ensuring that the dead cannot enter.
However, Huacun is not a shelter.
This place has sheltered generations of villagers in the dangerous village.
But they are outsiders, and who knows if they will be discovered by the dead because of this.
Thinking of this, Asharuya looked up at the ceiling, as if trying to see through Su Lan.
Blue Book must have received the message by now.
I wonder what the Blue Book is like...
wrong!
Blue Book didn't eat gray garlic!
He does not need to rely on grey garlic to obscure the senses of the dead.
Thinking of this, Asha's heart suddenly felt at ease.
With Su Lan around, the situation might change.
The night grew deeper.
But neither the heavy rain nor the roars of the dead ceased.
Leaving aside the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, the roars of the dead grew ever closer.
Outside of Huacun, which Asha and the others could not see, streams formed by heavy rain were washing over the land.
However, the rainwater that washes over the ground is not transparent.
As soon as they landed on the ground, they were quickly stained red.
A stream, as red as blood, flows through the entrance of Huacun Village and toward the center of the village.
Not only at the village entrance, but also in all directions of Huacun, red streams flow and seep in, gradually staining this last pure land of the undead empire with the color of the dead.
Furthermore, more and more figures, some distorted, some slow, some insane, and some bloodthirsty, are heading towards Huacun.
Some of the dead even completely ignored the deathly aura that had accumulated in the Kunjing Spring over the years.
Their red eyes seemed to see through everything as they walked toward a faint light in the distance.
These figures belong to only the weakest group.
Several undead figures, nearly ten meters tall, moved with extraordinary agility, disappearing into the night with a few twists and turns.
But every undead, upon seeing the light of Huacun, seemed to have its bloodthirsty code activated, thinking only of hunting.
Furthermore, the number of undead surrounding Huacun continues to increase, and the roars of more and more undead echo around Huacun.
Even several kilometers away, a gigantic figure, thirty or forty meters tall, was strolling towards Huacun.
Beside this enormous figure, which is thirty or forty meters tall, there is another undead creature, only a dozen meters tall, pieced together from the bones of various undead.
