My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

Chapter 1293: Entering the City Lord’s Estate

Everyone recollected themselves as they walked into the city.

There were scorched black traces everywhere, and hearing the uniform march of footsteps on the deserted road made their hair stand on end.

This place was too eerily quiet.

It made them feel like there were numerous pairs of eyes staring at them silently from the shadows.

Liang Qingqing abruptly pivoted her head, vigilantly sweeping her sharp gaze at the corner.

There was nothing there.

But she clearly sensed someone’s eyes on her just now.

Was it her imagination?

The entire fortification reeked of rotting and carried a putrid stench. This was evidently a ghost city already.

Even so, a large number of zombies had definitely amassed here before.

The best method of dealing with them was to round them up before disposing of them to prevent these things from fleeing and assaulting the nearby fortifications, such as Rice City.

Everyone stuck close to the group. However, they did not discover even a single zombie after treading through the city for five minutes.

“There’s something weird about this,” Liang Qingqing mumbled.

“Mhm. How is it possible for there not to be a single zombie after we’ve walked for so long. Where do you think they have gathered?”

“Unless there is some place or some thing inside the city that has attracted them.”

“Otherwise, it is impossible...”

Mo Lian suddenly halted, which caused everyone else to, as well. When they followed his gaze, their hearts jolted in shock.

They saw a gigantic black skull appearing before them.

It was formed from dense mist and did not seem like it would cause humans great harm.

However, its gaping jaws were seemingly waiting for its prey to venture inside on their own.

Mo Lian and company walked up to the skull’s jaws before stopping. They felt that advancing any further would be like getting swallowed up by the jaws, and a bizarre mood couldn’t help but infect their hearts.

Beside this, there were also two small alleys that allowed free passage, but they were so dark that you could not see their ends. Because the black mist obstructed their line of sight, making things blurry, it made the trek even more challenging.

Everyone directed their gazes at the crown prince, waiting for his decision.

Duan Yue waved his hand, and an illumination pearl abruptly flew into the skull’s jaws, fully lighting up the surroundings with a crackle.

With this, everyone’s line of sight broadened enormously.

It wasn’t a skull up ahead but the City Lord’s Estate. The skull’s jaws corresponded to the main door of the City Lord’s Estate.

It was quiet all around, without a lone zombie wandering about.

Everyone looked at each other before simultaneously sending inquiries to the crown prince with their gazes. “Going in?”

The crown prince nodded. “Let’s go in for a look.”

Thus, everyone trailed after him toward the City Lord’s Estate’s main entrance.

Liang Qingqing suddenly turned around to examine the space behind her vigilantly.

However, she saw that there were only her teammates and no one else.

But then where did that extremely uncomfortable feeling that sent shivers down her spine come from?

Liang Qingqing knitted her brows.

This City Lord’s Estate was located right at the center of the city district. After the surroundings got illuminated by Duan Yue’s illumination pearl, it was like daylight in the area.

Not only did the illumination pearl cover an extremely broad area, but it also had a long time of duration.

Hence, they would be able to clearly see their surrounding environment for at least an hour.

Everyone could only hear the light shuffle of footsteps and nothing else. There was only silence all around them.

Just like this, the party entered the City Lord’s Estate’s main hall under Mo Lian’s lead, weaving through the hallway toward the rear court.
