Mo Fan was using both his hands, the purple lightning and blazing red flames intertwined with one another .
He was now able to cast a Fire Burst right after completing a Lightning Strike . With the strength of his fourth-tier Spells, he could basically kill the Servant-class zombies instantly!
Mo Fan arrived before a villager whose legs were bitten off by the zombies and snapped furiously, "Damn it, what did I tell you all, don't f**king panic!"
Mo Fan knelt down and carried the villager who was covered in blood on his back . The young man's face was covered in the mix of mucus from his nose and tears . His body was shivering in extreme pain .
"Hold on, the Healers at the city can treat your legs!" said Mo Fan impatiently .
Mo Fan was annoyed, too . The truth was, the zombies were not even that strong . He alone could easily wipe them out . The villagers were only scaring themselves . Those who were not attacked simply ran out of Mo Fan's range, resulting in lots of casualties .
Even though he was used to seeing people dying, it still did not feel great witnessing so many innocent villagers losing their lives .
Mo Fan vented his anger on the zombies that had come out in the day to murder the villagers . He could have blasted the zombies into pieces with Fire Burst alone, yet he had the urge to use his Intermediate Lightning Spell instead .
Forks of lightning descended from the sky . The zombies who were still targeting the villagers were shredded into pieces, turning into blood mist sprinkling in the air .
After the lightning blasts, Liu Ru came up to Mo Fan with two other villagers .
She observed the surroundings and said, "I only managed to save two of them . The kids are fine, though . "
Mo Fan glanced at three other villagers that were also injured beside him . He was still carrying the young man whose legs were bitten off on his back, too .
He glanced at the corpses across the place and uttered a sigh, "Let's go, we tried our best . "
Mo Fan and Liu Ru handed the villagers whom they saved over to Su Xiaoluo . Su Xiaoluo had brought some medicine along, and she barely managed to save their lives .
The crowd sat together . No one spoke . The atmosphere grew very heavy, with a few kids who were sobbing in fear . After all, those who died were their aunts and uncles .
Liu Ru sat beside Mo Fan . She nudged him softly and whispered, "I stumbled into an undead kid . "
Mo Fan raised his eyes, signaling Liu Ru to continue .
Liu Ru quickly told Mo Fan about her experience with the undead kid . Mo Fan's expression turned stern after hearing her words, and he subconsciously glanced at the chief not far away .
For some reason, he kept feeling that the chief was somehow involved . It strange that the undead would attack them in the day . . .
"Should we investigate it?" asked Liu Ru .
"There's nothing to investigate . We'll escort them to the Ancient Capital, and they'll do whatever they want!" Mo Fan was not in the mood to involve himself in the mess .
"Mm, they should be safe at the Ancient Capital," Liu Ru nodded .

A while later, the undead stopped appearing . After taking a look at the sky, Mo Fan felt like they should not continue wasting their time here .
If the undead could come out in the day to attack them, hiding in the Rock Barrier was definitely not the way to go . They had to make it to the Ancient Capital before it turned dark . Who knew if a huge bunch of undead would ambush them at night!?
The group continued on with their journey . This time, Mo Fan simply had the urge to tie the villagers together with an iron chain, so they would not run wildly if something were to happen again .
After the previous ambush, everyone had acknowledged Mo Fan's strength, since none of them were blind . They were relieved after witnessing Mo Fan's ability to kill the zombies instantly with a single spell .
The day gradually turned dark along the journey . Luckily, they could finally see the magnificent walls on the horizon under the gloomy clouds .
Since it was still daytime, the walls still had Magicians patrolling the area . The group uttered relieved sighs after seeing someone alive . They quickened their pace and headed into the city .

As they arrived at the entrance, a group of Battlemages was on duty .
"Are you all from Hua Village?" a Battlemage looked at them, amazed .
"Yeah, yeah, I'm the chief," Xie Sang took out a stamp symbolizing his identity as the village's chief .
"The whole city has been discussing the villages outside the city," spoke up another young Battlemage .
"Discussing us, why's that?" Hong Jun glanced at them, confused and curious .
The Battlemage smacked his lips and handed a newspaper to the chief .
The chief received it and immediately saw the headline!
"Six villages in the Xianchi area was wiped out by the undead . There are close to no survivors!"
The chief was dumbfounded . He initially thought only their Hua Village was invaded . Little did he know, the rest of the villages were already destroyed . Due to the lack of communication, they would not know the truth if they had not come to the Ancient Capital .
On a side note, the chief was even more confused after learning the news, as if he had failed to come up with an explanation for something .
"We'll be going, you all should settle down yourself . " Mo Fan felt even more suspicious seeing the chief's reaction . He did not want to be involved in the mess .
"Thank you, you're already such a strong Magician when your age is just about the same as Hong Jun's," said a woman to Mo Fan excitedly .
Su Xiaoluo had recovered from her astonishment after learning the news about other villages . She quickly went up and expressed her gratitude to Mo Fan and Liu Ru . "Without your help, we might have ended up the same as the other villages . Thank you so much . "
As Mo Fan was about to leave, he suddenly recalled a problem .
Zhang Xiaohou only knew Su Xiaoluo . Mo Fan was planning on bringing him to Xinxia and letting her try to heal him, yet the idiot did not want to go anywhere . He only wanted to stay with Su Xiaoluo, acting like an unreasonable kid .
Mo Fan was left with no choice . He said in a helpless tone, "I'll let the military know about his condition . I'll let him stay with you for now . "
Since they had made it to the Ancient Capital, Zhang Xiaohou should be fine for the time being . It was also a good place to leave him to Su Xiaoluo since she could take care of his injuries, too .
The people from Hua Village left with Hong Jun . It was likely that the Magic Association would arrange a place for them to stay . It was something Mo Fan did not need to worry about .
---
Mo Fan tried to contact Zhang Xiaohou's instructor Fei Jiao, yet he was told that Fei Jiao was on a mission . It would take at least a day for him to return .
Mo Fan did not feel at ease, knowing that Zhang Xiaohou had not recovered his memory nor returned to the army . He simply decided to stay a few more days in the Ancient Capital to settle the things on hand .
"Where are we going?" Liu Ru stayed with Mo Fan . She was obviously curious about the Ancient Capital, and kept looking at her surroundings .
"I'm going to meet the people from my hometown," said Mo Fan .
"There are people here from your hometown?" asked Liu Ru .
"I'm sure that a few other cities have people from Bo City, too . "
"That's true, after the calamity, the people from your city were sent to live in a few different cities . . . "
