Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse

A light stone hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the faces of several people.

The entire room was deathly quiet.

Even the guards who kept talking were frozen on the spot, looking at the coffin in the middle in disbelief.

McIntosh is dead!

The old cask leader who controlled all the workers at the port and had countless lovers was just lying there quietly.

Wearing the most familiar clothes, surrounded by flower petals.

Wu Heng observed the guard members. Judging from the disbelief on their faces, they had just learned that they were dead.

"When did it happen?" Wu Heng asked.

The bald man sighed softly and said, "The day after the attack, the leader couldn't hold on any longer, so he asked us to prepare a coffin."

Wu Heng looked at the corpse, "What was the cause of death?"

"Snake venom."

Snake venom?

"Didn't you use any potion?"

The research and development of pharmaceuticals in this world has reached an exaggerated level.

Even the antidote can be developed for the zombie virus, and the snake venom can kill the opponent?

And he is also a professional with a high level.

It is also more resistant to abnormal conditions.

"I took the potion and invited the famous alchemist on the island, but it still had no effect." The bald head said helplessly.

"It's settled, can the person still lie in the coffin?" The guard commander snorted coldly, "Why didn't you say that 'McIntosh' was dead before?"

The bald head replied, "Old Cask also has many enemies. Once the news of the leader's death spreads, someone will probably take some action."

The guard commander nodded, quite satisfied with this answer.

He walked straight into the room and looked around the body.

Then, he took off his protective gloves, checked his breathing, then lifted up the corpse's clothes, put his hand in and held it at the heart.

The bald man looked startled and wanted to stop him, but he still endured it.

Looking to the side.

After a while, the commander took out his hand and said, "It's really dead."

From the tone of voice, the guards didn't quite believe that this woman would die.

The guard commander took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands as he came back, "McIntosh and I have a good relationship. I feel bad when my old friend dies. If you old barrels have any ideas, just tell me."

The bald man clenched his hands, looked at the people present, and said solemnly: "The poisonous snakes that appeared in the corpse must have been done by someone. If you can help us find the murderer, Lao Cong is willing to give 200 gold as a reward."

Everyone present was shocked.

This old barrel is really rich.

Killing a pirate only earns a few hundred silver.

If you find the murderer on the island, you can get 200 gold.

If the team led by Wu Heng can investigate the murderer, everyone can get gold coins.

It can also be seen that this old wooden barrel man is really angry.

The same was true for the guards. After the surprise, there was a kind of excitement.

The guard commander coughed lightly and said, "Tell me everything that happened. Be more careful. If you can find out who killed McIntosh, your information is equally important."

The bald man was silent for a moment and told the story about the port.

The cause was a dispute between two work teams over cargo issues, which then gradually escalated, causing chaos and affecting normal transportation at the port.

McIntosh took people over, and after mediation, when he looked at the workers who died in the chaos, the bodies exploded and a poisonous snake bit 'McIntosh'.

Even if you take the potion quickly.

After returning, the symptoms still did not disappear, and he finally died in the tavern.

The commander continued to ask, "Who do you suspect?"

"The people in Black Crow's Nest have a problem with us. The Sea Dog Gang also wants to steal the port business. They will benefit the most from the death of their leader."

The commander nodded, "Wait, I'll find out for you."

After saying that, he waved and left directly with several members of the guard.

…

The guards left, and the whole room became quieter.

Wu Heng led several people close to the coffin and took a close look at the state of the body.

It can be confirmed that there are no obvious signs of life.

The female boss with a somewhat arrogant attitude just lay stiffly in the coffin.

After looking around, he asked, "Why wasn't there an autopsy?"

"The leader's race has a tradition that the body must be kept intact after death. Before he died, he also told us that we can investigate the murderer in any way, but we must not destroy her body." Bald Head followed and explained.

"What about questioning the corpse? It's the Necromancer, asking questions about the body."

The bald man shook his head and said that was not possible either.

After all, it was not the body of a wanted criminal, so it would be unreasonable to insist on interrogating the body.

Wu Heng glanced at the other party, turned around and said, "Kawina, check the body."

Kavina stepped forward, untied the body's clothes, and began to examine it.

Several men present walked not far away.

Go ahead and ask some questions.

The bald man was also very cooperative, saying what he asked and occasionally adding something.

Not long after, Kavina came back and said, "There were obvious signs of snake bites, and no other fatal injuries were found on her body."

Wu Heng nodded and looked at the bald head again.

"You said, where are the corpses with venomous snakes in their bodies?"

The bald head said: "I was afraid that it might contain some poison, so I had it taken to the wasteland behind and buried. If you need to check, I'll have someone take you there."

"Okay, let's arrange people!"

Several people walked back up together.

The bald man said a few words to the two equally strong men.

The two men came over and saluted.

Wu Heng said, "Let's go, take us to the port first."

The two nodded.

They took them out together, prepared a carriage, and went directly to the port.

...

At the port.

The two pointed out the location at that time and also talked about some of the conditions at the scene.

Because the death of 'McIntosh' was not announced to the outside world, the entire port was still operating normally.

There was no talk of protecting the scene, and even blood could not be found.

After a simple inspection, they continued to the burial site.

Outside the city, there was an undeveloped wasteland.

Two strong men and team members dug out the bodies with shovels.

The straw mat was opened, revealing three bodies with rotten intestines.

In the soil on the side, some dead black, little finger-thick venomous snakes could be seen.

"Sir, these three bodies, their stomachs exploded like balloons at the time, and these venomous snakes came out, and soon these snakes died on their own." One person said.

Wu Heng nodded, motioned for the others to step back a few steps, and released [Talk to the Dead] on the first corpse.

The corpse that was lying down suddenly sat up and looked over here.

The two people in the tavern were startled, retreated in panic, and stood in the distance to watch.

Wu Heng asked the corpse directly: "Why did you fight before you died?"

The corpse replied, "They took our job and fought without a good negotiation."

Wu Heng asked again, "Someone has pre-embedded a spell in your body. Who did it?"

"I don't know!"

"Before you died, did you have contact with unfamiliar people?"

"No."

"Did you find anything suspicious at the scene, anyone trying to get close to you?"

"No."

"In your opinion, who might have killed 'McIntosh' that day?"

"The people of Black Crow's Nest have a big feud with them."

After the five questions, the corpse lay back on its back.

Judging from the first corpse.

No clues were found.

There was no breakthrough on my side, and the corpse was also clueless.

As for the mention of Black Crow's Nest, it was just a personal guess, not evidence pointing to the target.

…

Continue to look at the second corpse and release [Talk to the Dead].

Then, the corpse sat up.

“Before you died, did you find any suspicious people trying to get close to you.”

“No!”

“…….”

After five questions in a row, the corpse still did not provide any useful information.

All attention was focused on the fight.

Then the third corpse sat up.

This corpse was dressed a little differently, and looked a little like the person in charge.

“Before you died, did you find any suspicious people trying to get close to you.”

The corpse was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.

“That morning, a dwarf came looking for work, and the money he asked was relatively low, so I agreed to follow him.”
