Chapter 454: Searching the Lord's Residence

These humans were transporting supplies.

There were some rare materials in the carts; Zhao Chi picked them up directly and put them into the system space.

Those people didn't react either. After Zhao Chi took a step out, they continued moving as well.

In some of the workshops, there were also humans like this producing things.

Their movements were very stiff, and their production methods were extremely mechanical.

But the quality of the items they produced was very stable.

They really did seem to have become machines.

"You all go rest. Tell the others to rest too — no more work. Soon all of you will be free."

Hearing these words, those people actually glanced at Zhao Chi.

There seemed to be some emotion in their eyes.

But it might just have been Zhao Chi imagining it.

Still, all of these people obediently left.

All the buildings outside had been fully explored.

Outside the lord's residence in the very center, there were three stone houses.

Stone walls, thick wooden doors.

Pushing the door open and going in, the inside was completely different.

There were still no lamps inside, but it was very spacious.

All kinds of furniture were fully provided.

Zhao Chi guessed these stone houses were where those few heroes lived.

The first stone house contained quite a few books.

"Principles of Spiritual Power Regeneration," "The Study of Temperature Control," "Research on Flame Environments," "The Theoretical Possibility of Fire Overcoming Water"

Besides these, there were also some crystals formed from high-temperature burning.

They lined an entire wall.

This should be Li Yan's room.

But although he was a hero, there weren't many personal belongings.

This was understandable.

Gu Qing and Tang Ruan were also heroes, and Zhao Chi valued them highly.

But they also had no personal belongings.

Except that Gu Qing had several strands of genetic material Zhao Chi had given her stored inside her body.

Zhao Chi put these books into the system space to take with him; there was nothing else worth taking.

The second stone house had a very strong smell of blood.

No need to think — this must be Zhou Qian's room.

This room was very messy.

It was a world of difference from Li Yan's room.

Dried bloodstains were everywhere.

On the walls, on the floor, even on the bedsheets — all of them.

These bloodstains seemed to have been deliberately smeared on, and many were still fresh.

There was a human corpse by the bed.

One could barely make out that it was a human woman.

The body was already completely unrecognizable.

Zhao Chi found it hard to understand what this room was actually like.

But Zhou Qian himself was a vampire hero — perhaps this kind of environment was normal for him?

In the corner there was a bloodstained spirit-energy stone; Zhao Chi picked it up with slight distaste.

He took it outside, scraped the blood off clean, and put it into the system space.

The third one was relatively clean.

But there was an inexplicable fishy smell.

Logically speaking this was Zuo Yuan's room — why would it smell so fishy?

Originally, searching a woman's room should have been a rather pleasant thing.

But Zhao Chi didn't have that kind of mood.

He held his breath and searched quickly.

The wardrobe was full of women's intimate apparel.

Zuo Yuan's bed was very large — bigger than an ordinary double bed.

There were quite a few dirty clothes by the bed.

And some strange ropes as well.

Under the bed there was an old wooden bow, along with quite a few wooden arrows.

Presumably these were Zuo Yuan's former weapons.

This room had no search value.

Even a single book would have been nice.

Zhao Chi left quickly.

He had just stepped outside when he saw Tang Ruan running over: "My lord, come take a look."

Her brows knit tightly, as though she had noticed something unusual.

"What's wrong, Tang Ruan?"
