Chapter 31 Causes

United Nations of the Common Destiny of Humanity under the Glory.

This is the only country established in the eastern region of Asia since the disaster came.

Relying on the outermost Holy Sword Wall to block the terrible monsters outside the wall and the mysterious energy that permeates the earth, humans built Robin Wall and Dragon Scale Wall inside the Holy Sword Wall.

Among them, there is only one city inside the Robin Wall, Robin City, named after Robin Knight Commander, the most loyal to the Goddess of Glory, and is the core area of ​​the entire wall;

Then there is the Dragon Scale Wall, which is the largest area inside the wall and the place where most citizens inside the wall are most eager and most likely to move in.

Finally, there is the area closest to the Holy Sword Wall. The area here is second only to the Dragon Scale Wall, so there are many cities, but because it is too close to the wall, it is not a place where people can rest assured from a safety perspective.

Even though the possibility of monsters outside breaking through the Holy Sword Wall is very small, there is still a probability that mysterious energy or monsters outside the wall will infiltrate when the sacred power of the Holy Sword Wall weakens at curfew time.

This is the fundamental reason why the city defense army patrols the city wall for 20 hours.

And it is under such circumstances that, as time goes by, a part of the area next to the Holy Sword Wall has undergone incomprehensible changes under the erosion of some mysterious energy.

This kind of change is usually difficult to cure and extremely dangerous, so the human leaders just set these places as restricted areas and then ignore them.

The Corruption Swamp, 30 miles west of the Holy Sword Wall outside Rong City, is one of them.

The Corruption Swamp was a large natural swamp before the change. The establishment of the Holy Sword Wall divided it into two halves. Although most of the area is outside the wall, there is still a small part inside the city wall.

Maybe it is because the entire swamp is polluted and mutated by mysterious energy. In short, this place is extremely weird. Not only is it shrouded in gray poisonous fog all year round, but most importantly, all creatures that enter here will be 100% corroded by the evil energy here, thus turning into terrible zombies.

The courtyard, or the mysterious young lady, suddenly gave Xu Nian such a strange order, which was very strange to Xu Nian.

However, as Zuo Qiuyue took out the detailed information of this mission, Xu Nian finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that the hospital had been investigating Father Drett for a long time. They had not taken action not only because they were concerned about the special nature of the Martyrs' Cemetery, but also because they wanted to find out how this person got into the city wall and whether there were other people behind him.

As a result, after a period of investigation, they found that Father Drett's whereabouts were always erratic, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, as if there was a hidden place inside the city wall.

After tracing it down, they locked the suspected locations in the three places of the Corruption Swamp, the Crystal Tunnel and the Dragon Bone Ruins.

It was not until Xu Nian killed Father Drett that they found a trace amount of swamp poisonous fog particles in his body through an autopsy on Father Drett, and they were sure that Father Drett must have been to the Corruption Swamp.

And Bai Fei's situation can be said to be very special, which has attracted the attention of the senior management of the hospital, and even the eldest lady. In order to find out the specific situation, they gave Xu Nian this task.

As for why it was Xu Nian and not someone else, the reason given by the hospital was that Xu Nian was capable enough and deeply involved in this incident, which was perfect.

However, considering that Xu Nian had just joined the hospital and might not understand many things, they gave him three days to let Zuo Qiuyue take Xu Nian to prepare well.

"So, you mean I still have to go to class in these three days?"

After reading the information about this mission that Zuo Qiuyue brought out, Xu Nian got on Zuo Qiuyue's jeep.

This was not the first time Xu Nian had taken a car, but it was the most unpleasant.

If the two of them were working under the same roof now, and the other party was his assistant, why did the hospital give him a car instead of himself?

As if sensing Xu Nian's sourness, Zuo Qiuyue smiled while driving: "Xu Nian, don't take advantage of others and be ungrateful. Be content. Don't forget that the driver is the one driving and the leader is the one sitting in the car. If you feel uncomfortable, you can report it to the higher-ups. I'd love for you to be my babysitter!"

Xu Nian was annoyed, put down the task information in his hand, and muttered: "You are right, but what do you want me to learn in these three days?"

"You'll know when you go." As she said that, she seemed to remember something, and looked back at Xu Nian with a strange look in her eyes: "By the way, how did you deal with Bai Fei's parents? Why do they believe you so much and don't worry that their daughter might be in trouble?"

Xu Nian was stunned, but in his mind he recalled what he had asked his son to secretly follow Bai Fei's parents that day.

"Old woman, do you have a feeling that our daughter seems to be different to the young man just now?"

"You old taro finally got it. Let alone our daughter, didn't you find that the young man was also very concerned about our daughter's affairs?"

"You mean..."

"I mean, the young man is a good person. If he really doesn't dislike our daughter at that time, we can rest assured."

Thinking of this, his mouth twitched and said unnaturally: "Nothing, maybe I am a good person in their eyes."

"Bah, shameless."

If Zuo Qiuyue still believes that Xu Nian is a good person, then hell, especially when the police still haven't found Link's body after Zhao Qiang committed suicide.

"By the way, Bai Fei once said that he saw Father Drett resurrect Link with his own eyes, but we didn't see him in the underground church?"

Xu Nian didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the subject and asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.

Zuo Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but according to my intuition, Link's case may be related to this Father Drett. We may have unexpected gains if we investigate the corruption swamp."

"Maybe."

Xu Nian didn't comment.

At this point, he already felt that Link's death seemed not that simple. Although he used this to scare Zhao Qiang to jump off the building, the case itself was not actually solved.

In other words, the real murderer is still at large.

The only lucky thing was that Rongcheng's top officials really wanted to settle the case as soon as possible, so even though the body had not been found and there were still many doubts, they quickly pinned the blame on the already dead Zhao Qiang.

In his thoughts, Xu Nian felt a little overwhelmed, so he temporarily put these worries aside and looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window and said, "Maybe, this is life."
