"It's you!"
Xia Ye flicked her fingertip, and a gray, decaying light fell upon the corpse.
"Creak—~"
The completely cold corpse stirred eerily, then struggled to stretch out its arm, propped itself up, and stood up unsteadily. Once it was firmly on its feet, its movements were no longer clumsy, and a pale, eerie light shone from its empty eye sockets!
"Ho ho!"
Low-level undead cannot speak.
This newborn corpse... the zombie is showing submission to its master~
"Go! Go and take revenge on those who caused your tragic fate! Since we can't go to heaven, then let's all go to hell together. Come on, the age of the dead has arrived!"
Xia Ye smiled unrestrainedly.
Actually, commanding the undead creatures you control only requires a single thought; all this rambling is just for showing off.
"Ho ho!"
As soon as Xia Ye finished speaking, the revived zombie pounced on its closest companion.
The homeless people had already sensed something was wrong, and now, seeing such a horrifying scene, they scrambled out from among the garbage and tried to run away.
However, the other side of the alley was blocked, and zombies were blocking the exit, so they had nowhere to escape.
So the two homeless men gave up resisting and walked straight toward the zombies. They had also heard what Xia Ye had just said—since they could not escape it, even if they became ghosts, they would take revenge on those rich and powerful people!
Xia Ye walked out of the dark alley.
A piercing scream came from behind.
Soon after, the eerie silence returned.
Scotland Yard patrol officers on patrol nearby heard the noise and rushed over. They were reluctant to go into that disgusting alley, but Jack the Ripper had been causing too much trouble lately, and they were under a lot of pressure from above. They didn't want to miss any clues, so they endured the urge to vomit and went in!
"what!"
"Help!"
Desperate wails rang out once more.
However, there was no movement from the houses near the street. In fact, several households that had been keeping their oil lamps lit suddenly blew them out, making the foggy street even more eerie.
· ····Requesting flowers··· ······
"Hoho~"
Footsteps echoed from the exit of the dark alley.
Soon, a group of undead zombies emerged from inside. Besides a dozen or so ragged homeless people, there were also two night patrol officers in Scotland Yard uniforms. This combination, which would normally seem out of place, appeared surprisingly harmonious in this environment.
If we ignore their appearance~
...
221B Baker Street.
Conan, along with a group of children, infiltrated the Sherlock Holmes family home under the guise of the Baker Street Detective Team. After much effort, they finally found information about Jack the Ripper and decided to find the key figure—Professor Moriarty!
however--
When they left Holmes' house.
But I was stunned by what I saw on the street!
The once quiet and deserted streets of London have become more chaotic than a wet market.
Many residents, not even properly dressed, ran out of their homes and panicked in the streets, shouting incomprehensible words like "the dead," "divine punishment," and "demons."
"what?"
Conan was completely confused. "I've only been inside for less than an hour, how come it's so lively outside?"
What exactly happened?
however--
His question was quickly answered.
At the end of Baker Street, the fleeing residents screamed in terror as a dense swarm of undead emerged from the street corner—zombies, skeletons, horses resurrected from the dead, and even other animals transformed into ghosts.
"This is!"
Conan's mouth dropped open!
What is this situation?
Why would such an outrageous and bizarre thing appear in a Sherlock Holmes story set in the steam age?
This is not scientific!
Behind Conan, Hideki Moroboshi had a complicated expression on his face.
... .... ...
He knew that those who had taken over his privileges had started causing trouble.
Actually, he didn't want to have a conflict with those people.
Even now, with London already invaded by natural disasters, he doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to see what Conan and the other kids will do in this sudden catastrophe.
"Let's go to the poker club!"
Conan looked at the horde of zombies that was already spreading towards them in the distance and made a decisive decision: "Although we don't know what's going on, we definitely can't stop these monsters with our abilities. Our most important thing now is to find Jack the Ripper and end this game!"
"That's right!"
Although they were all children.
But those who have survived to this day are at least very intelligent.
Everyone agreed with Conan's words.
"I wonder how Brother Xia Ye is doing?"
Ayumi clenched her fists with some worry and said softly:
"I wish he were here~"
"Haha~"
Conan gave a speechless, deadpan look.
If I'm not mistaken, this massive and bizarre zombie horde is very likely the work of Xia Ye.
He acted strangely in the game square, and he seemed to know a lot about the "Cocoon," even able to interfere with Noah's Ark, which is equivalent to a GM, through some means!
"let's go!"
Conan did not voice his guess.
That would only hurt Ayumi and the others; it would be better to save our energy and go find Jack the Ripper.
Baker Street wasn't completely blocked by the Sea of the Dead. Conan led the children to the poker club, and after some trouble, they finally met Professor Moriarty!
Professor Moriarty at this moment was not as calm and composed as he was in the original story. He appeared in front of Conan and his friends with great difficulty and barely managed to maintain his composure. He didn't even have time to straighten the wrinkles on his originally neat suit, which showed that he was in a hurry.
Conan saw Professor Moriarty and was about to approach him to ask about Jack the Ripper, but Professor Moriarty completely ignored Conan's intentions. He looked at Colonel Monroe, who had come out to greet him, and gave him a direct order:
"An undead uprising has broken out in District 12. Go back and bring your men to the manor to protect me!"
"this..."
Although Colonel Montalc deeply respected Professor Moriarty, even regarding him as a god, a thought suddenly occurred to him:
Has the master lost his mind?
however--
Seeing Professor Moriarty's serious face.
He eventually believed such outrageous claims.
"Yes! I'm going right now!"
"and many more!"
Seeing Professor Moriarty turn to leave, Conan quickly shouted, "I know how to deal with these ghosts, but you have to tell me where Jack the Ripper is!"
"you?"
Professor Moriarty lowered his head, looked at Conan with a sinister gaze, and smiled slightly, "I don't know if you can solve this disaster that's like an apocalyptic punishment, but if you want to find Jack, then come with me!"
"it is good!"
Conan nodded without hesitation.
He urged his friends to follow Professor Moriarty's carriage. In this chaotic situation, even if Professor Moriarty was a villainous boss, following him was much better than searching aimlessly like headless flies!
...
On Big Ben.
Xia Ye sat on the edge of the top floor and looked down.
On the streets of London, a horde of corpses is sweeping across the land like a tidal wave.
Accompanied by the mournful cawing of crows at night.
It has a distinctly apocalyptic atmosphere! (Ten thousand)
Chapter 331 So, let's end the game here~
soon.
The rampant spread of the Scourge has been temporarily halted.
We are now in the era of the Industrial Revolution.
In a little over a decade, World War I will begin.
England, a long-established capitalist power, possessed a rich history and its modern weaponry was extremely effective against ordinary undead infected by the aura of natural disaster. When the London garrison brought out their artillery, the initially one-sided situation turned into a stalemate.
The undead army crashed into the modern army's defenses, and then, like a tsunami crashing against rocks, it was instantly shattered!
"Simple undead are still no good, as expected."
Xia Ye had actually anticipated this outcome.
Never underestimate the power of modern weapons!
Even that Skeleton Pirate King we took down before, in this era, he'd probably be done for after a few hits from a fortress cannon!
Fortunately, there are not many troops stationed in London now.
The British Isles are isolated overseas, and it is currently a time of peace, so London is naturally very safe.
Most of England's military forces were sent to colonies around the world to suppress riots and seize wealth.
This greatly reduced London's military strength.
Xia Ye tapped the brick wall beneath her, a smirk playing on her lips. "Since ordinary undead won't do, let's get an enhanced version! Come to think of it, a horde of zombies alone isn't enough to be called an undead catastrophe!"
"let's start!"
Following Xia Ye's command.
The undead army, now numbering in the tens of thousands, has seen many undead regain their memories and intelligence, no longer just mindless, walking corpses.
however.
Although he regained his memories.
But don't expect them to set things right.
The consciousness of the dead and the living is already different.
Even if they retain the wisdom and memories of their former lives, as spirits, their hatred for the living is the driving force behind everything, regardless of whether they were good or bad people in the past. Now, the spirits only have the desire to destroy everything!
soon--
The London troops stationed at various intersections of 173 had encountered many nightmarish sights!
Standing over ten meters tall, this abomination, stitched together from various corpses, is the masterpiece of necromancer surgeons.
