章 117: Zombie Empress (48)

(Xyrean Province- Inner Regions)

(The Mermaid's Lake- Forested Outskirts)

Qin Lan stood silently in front of the burning fire that crackled ominously under the night sky. She was joined by Gong Li and Liu Yifei who had identical looks of sorrow on their faces.

In the middle of the fire was a corpse that had been covered by a thick white blanket. Beneath the blanket was Chen Xiao's body.

Qin Lan had discovered him in the afternoon as she walked around the perimeter of the camp site trying to see if there were any more threats in the nearby surroundings.

She had stumbled across the body of the young teenage boy but if she was being completely honest… Qin Lan wished that she didn't, and Chen Xiao's fate remained a mystery.

Chen Xiao's lower jaw had been ripped completely off and he was missing both his arms and legs. 

Blood and guts were scattered around his corpse and there was a hungry wolf approaching the scent of rotting meat.
