Chapter 1652: Ghost Village

There was no response from inside. Chuan Naizi knocked again, but after knocking for a long time, there was still no reaction.

"No need to knock. The people inside are already gone." Chen Yu kicked the door open and walked in.

Chuan Naizi hurriedly followed him inside.

The moment she entered, she was completely stunned; she saw a 'person' lying prone in the living room.

The reason it could be called a person was because it had a human shape, but judging by the degree of decay of the corpse, even without turning the body over, Chuan Naizi could imagine that it was already a blurred mess.

"Let's go out. There is no one else in the house." Chen Yu sighed slightly, shook his head, and walked out.

In fact, before he came in, he already knew there were no living people here, but he still wanted to come in and see; after all, an entire village dying at once was something he had only ever seen in anime.

Chuan Naizi was somewhat silent. Although she was unwilling to accept it, she also knew she could not salvage anything, so she had to silently follow Chen Yu out.

"No need to look so dejected; this is all Life." Chen Yu sighed slightly and said, "If I told you there are no living people in the village right now, you certainly wouldn't believe me."

"What did you say? You mean all these hundreds of people here are gone?" Chuan Naizi was shocked, and she looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.

"Before coming in, I also held a glimmer of hope, but now I have to tell the truth: there is indeed not a single person left in the village." Chen Yu shook his head and said, "If I hadn't brought you in to see for yourself, you certainly wouldn't have been satisfied."

"Chen Yu, let's look around and see if there is anyone left. I don't believe that so many people could all be gone overnight. They are all living lives; this is impossible..."

Chuan Naizi's emotions were somewhat collapsing. As a Detective, she could not accept this fact.

"Calm down. I came here with you; if there were any hope of saving them, I certainly wouldn't stand idly by." Chen Yu looked at her and said, "But the problem now is that there is no one left. It is deathly still here; there is no life at all."

"We will search. There must be some, there will definitely be some." Chuan Naizi cried out, "Let the people outside come in, and we will search together."

"Do you want to let the virus inside here spread out?" Chen Yu glanced at her and said, "Although Yamamoto Masao is not a good person, he was not wrong to seal off this place."

"If you really let your 'saintly' heart overflow and let people from outside come in to save survivors that don't exist here, it will cause even more serious consequences."

Chuan Naizi was stunned for a moment. She shook her head and said, "Then I will search by myself. I don't believe there isn't a single survivor here. There must be someone alive here; there must be."

As she spoke, Chuan Naizi hurriedly ran forward. She did not let a single corner go; wherever there were houses, she went in to knock on the doors, then broke into them.

Chen Yu was helpless and had to follow her. The two of them arrived together in front of a small square in the village.

Only when she arrived here was Chuan Naizi stunned, because this square was originally a place for leisure and entertainment, but now, it was densely packed with people.

Or rather... corpses, because this place was sealed off, so the dead could not be transported out.

And because the weather was too hot now, some of the people were placed here to be burned directly.

But later, the virus broke out, and not a single person here escaped the fate of death. Now, this place had already become a Hell on earth.

With a thud... Chuan Naizi knelt on the ground. She burst into tears and cried, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for coming too late, I'm sorry..."

Chen Yu frowned as he looked at Chuan Naizi; he also did not know what to do.

Could he call her a 'saint'? No, her sadness came from the heart. He also knew that Chuan Naizi was not a 'saint', but a person who truly wanted to do something for her own people with all her heart.

But facing reality, she was powerless to change anything, so it could only be like this. Regarding these matters, Chen Yu felt somewhat helpless.

"Get up." After Chuan Naizi had cried for a long time, Chen Yu finally sighed slightly and helped her up.

"Why did it become like this? How could this place turn into this?" Chuan Naizi stood up, and facing everything before her, she was somewhat at a loss.

Just at this moment, several figures appeared in the small Bamboo Forest to one side, and they were slowly moving toward this side.

"Someone? Chen Yu, look, there is someone over there." Chuan Naizi suddenly raised her head. She looked behind the Bamboo Forest with both surprise and joy, and then rushed over happily.

"Bad, come back." Chen Yu's expression changed, and he wanted to call Chuan Naizi back, but it was a step too late. He saw that Chuan Naizi had already rushed behind the Bamboo Forest.

Just as she saw these few people, Chuan Naizi's expression went slightly blank, and then her face changed drastically.

She saw a few 'people' walking with stumbling steps slowly toward her, and these few people could no longer be called humans.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them moving corpses, because the flesh on everyone's face had almost rotted away, and some people's eyes had even disappeared; where the eyes should have been, there were now two black holes.

These 'people' walked forward slowly. They seemed very sensitive to living people. When they saw Chuan Naizi, there was a moment of Silence.

Then, more than a dozen heads turned almost simultaneously. A strange expression appeared on their terrifying faces, and then one of them let out a roar and lunged fiercely at Chuan Naizi.

And that roar of his seemed to be a signal to the others; all of them rushed toward Chuan Naizi rapidly, then crazily stretched out their hands. Judging by that posture, it seemed they wanted to tear Chuan Naizi to pieces.

Chuan Naizi was so frightened that she was at a loss. She stood blankly on the spot, not daring to move at all.

Just at this moment, a powerful arm suddenly pulled her to one side; it was Chen Yu who had arrived.

With a grab of his right hand, Lichen appeared in his hand. He thrust his sword forward; *pfft, pfft*, two people's heads were pierced through. Their bodies stiffened, and they fell to the ground with a thud.

Since he had struck, there was no such thing as showing mercy. Chen Yu turned the Lichen in his hand and then dashed forward; *pfft, pfft, pfft*, several more people had their heads severed.

Striking with the sword rapidly, in less than a minute, these dozen or so monsters had fallen to the ground.

Moreover, this time Chen Yu's strikes were extremely sharp; basically, all of them were decapitated, and not a single corpse remained intact.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing? Why did you kill them? They were survivors." Chuan Naizi was shocked. She grabbed Chen Yu's clothes and screamed, "Why? Why did you have to do this?"

"I remember I said that this type of virus has a certain probability of being a zombie virus, right?" Chen Yu said somewhat helplessly, "Just now you saw it clearly too; are they, these people, really human?"
