The Wizard: Starting with the Omniscient Cube

Chapter 30 Zombie Outbreak

Over the years, those around Lin Wei have been influenced by his unassuming nature. At first, they all thought Lin Wei was too low-key, like an old man in his twilight years.

But as it turned out, only the Chengshi territory survived to the end; the other earldoms were either conquered or reclaimed.

"It's too conspicuous. This is not good. It will arouse the suspicion of the nobles, and even bandit knights will invade more frequently."

Lin Wei nodded in agreement.

He didn't want too many people to know about his strength. The Lion Knight should be mysterious, and in this ever-changing continent, mystery represents safety.

I am not strong enough to step onto the stage openly like the epic knights.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Wei replied seriously, "How about this, after Earl Grizzly Bear moves away, we'll also prepare to move to Rose City. This territory is too eye-catching."

"Drake is a good friend of mine. With his help, at least we have food to eat. We also need to get the rum recipe back. We need to do some business to make money in the future."

No one knew the true nature of his relationship with Drake, and the people in the castle considered them close friends.

Lin Wei discovered that someone was doing things for him, and that the safest way for him to profit was to work behind the scenes as the boss.

"The most troublesome thing about going to Rose City is the considerable expense. From now on, all the meat I need for training will have to come from Rose City, and the prices will definitely not be cheap. This also depends on Drake's arrangements. Otherwise, the arrival of a standard knight will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Duke of Rose. I eat and drink a lot every day, which is about the same as the food intake of two hundred soldiers. This cannot be hidden."

Although Lin Wei had encountered many standard knights in Rose City, most of them had status or were lone knights with their own hiding places outside the city.

Ham then began his report: "Lord Linwei, zombies have started appearing in the territory, and Lord Black has already gone to deal with them."

Celia, Ham, and the others had long been accustomed to the fact that Black was a werewolf, since he didn't harm anyone and was extremely obedient to Lord Linwei.

Zombies?

Lin Wei pondered for a moment and then instructed, "Zombies are much stronger than humans and are no match for werewolves. However, they seem to be able to infect and evolve, so we must be cautious. Werewolves versus zombies is like magic versus magic."

"Tell Blake to be careful when handling this, and remember to contact me if he can't solve it."

After handling some matters, Lin Wei returned to the new basement to cultivate.

At this moment, in Swan Lands, at Swan Castle.

Prince Swan fell into deep thought upon seeing the news that the Lion Territory and Grizzly Bear Territory were still paying their military expenses as usual.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"Butler, you speak."

The Swan Prince was furious.

The steward felt a chill run down his spine and replied with pre-rehearsed words: "As far as I know, the Hyena Knight had other ideas on the road and went back to his old ways as a bandit knight. I am guilty for failing to choose the right executor."

He only needs to shift the blame to the hyena rider, and everything will be unrelated to him; he will simply bear the responsibility of misjudging people.

As for what exactly happened to the hyena rider, the butler didn't know either; he just decided to throw the dirty water away first.

"This is the last time. Don't try to fool me again. I'm going into seclusion. If this matter is still not resolved by the end of my seclusion, then you can come to me with your head."

After saying this, the Swan Duke spread his arms, and goose feathers fell as he disappeared from the room.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, sir."

"After so many years without taking action, I have no choice but to personally take action this time. People on the mainland have probably forgotten about me, the Mantis Knight."

Just then, a knight-like commander came in to report, "Steward, a group of zombies has suddenly appeared in the territory. We have already sent people to deal with it."

"Zombies? How did these things suddenly appear? The last time they appeared was decades ago, when the population of the mainland was reduced by almost half."

The butler's expression was grave.

"Never mind, let's take care of the matters concerning the Lion and Grizzly territories first."

The butler made preparations and then set off.

Not long after, Celia's anxious voice came from outside the basement: "Lord Linwei, the zombies in the territory are getting out of control. Lord Black sent me to find you."

"Um?"

Lin Wei appeared at the basement entrance like a gust of wind, carrying Celia and rushing towards the castle's council hall.

As the scenery rushed by, Celia felt a surge of admiration.

"Is this the strength of our lord?"

After reaching the fourth level of both the Azure Lion Breathing Technique and the Azure Heron Breathing Technique, thanks to the enhancement of Lin Wei's physical body, Lin Wei's speed was much faster than that of ordinary bird-type knights.

The werewolf prophet Blake pointed at an ordinary person struggling on the ground, whose face was ashen and whose most striking feature was his long, black fingernails.

"Sir, this is a zombie."

Lin Wei glanced at the zombie's long fingernails and instinctively felt that this thing would be difficult to deal with, as the fingernails were extremely sharp.

"Sir, this is a werewolf that was infected after being scratched by a zombie."

In the iron cage to the side was a werewolf that was constantly drooling. The werewolf also had long fingernails, making it look quite terrifying.

The werewolf was violently ramming against the iron cage, while dozens of soldiers were pulling tightly on the ropes binding it.

"This werewolf is no longer under my control."

Lin Wei's expression was equally grim. He said, "So, you're saying that anyone scratched by this zombie, even a supernatural creature like a werewolf, will mutate and become a zombie werewolf?"

Blake replied, "Yes, I told the werewolves to be as careful as possible during the operation, but I didn't expect..."

For Blake, werewolves were all his family, and he was very saddened that one of them had mutated.

"Trouble. These zombies are much more powerful than I expected; they're even contagious."

Celia handed Linwei an envelope, which was officially distributed by the kingdom.

Lin Wei frowned as he finished reading: "In other words, this zombie outbreak is starting to occur across the entire continent. The best way to deal with it is to eliminate it using long-range methods, such as common weapons like bows and crossbows."

"Under my deliberate guidance and Commander Roti's training, there are quite a few soldiers in the territory who can use bows and arrows. Let's send these soldiers with ranged combat capabilities to wipe out the zombies. Be very careful."

Commanders like Roti received the order and hurriedly set off.

"As for this werewolf, let's lock it up for a while longer and see if there's a solution. If we can keep it, we will."

"Thank you, Master." Blake also left with the iron cage.

"This world is really unsettling; there are always unexpected things happening."

Just as Lin Wei was about to return to his cultivation, he noticed a slight commotion outside the castle. A pale white powder drifted down the castle gate and into the soldiers' nostrils.

In no time, the soldiers fainted one after another, as if they had fallen asleep.
