Chapter 490: Obstruction
From the scene of Ma Ling tearing open the space rift, her strength is not small compared not only to Yang Haoran, but even to Ye Zhiqiu.
However, compared to when she was in Lecheng, Ma Ling's strength has indeed improved a lot, as she didn't have the ability to tear open the space rift back then.
But Yang Haoran did not underestimate Ma Ling because of this. He had witnessed Ma Ling's methods in Master Wu's villa, and Ma Ling's greatest strength was not her own power, but her formations!
When the two walked out of the space rift, they had arrived outside Huangniu Town. They chose a secluded corner to walk out, so no one noticed how they came to Huangniu Town.
Some of the villagers in Huangniu Town had already been harmed by the corpse fiends and become Corpse Puppets of the corpse fiends. The rest of the villagers were isolated by the police and sent out of Huangniu Town.
The police's response was that there were rabid people in Huangniu Town, so for the safety of the villagers, they had to be sent out of Huangniu Town. The villagers could only return after the police had dealt with the situation.
Although the villagers did not really believe the police's explanation, they were very concerned about their personal safety, so they left Huangniu Town despite not believing the police's explanation.
The uninfected villagers were evacuated by the police as quickly as possible, while the villagers infected with the corpse poison were all trapped in Huangniu Town.
The police who had the ability to trap the zombies were all Spirit Police. The regular police's main task was to evacuate the uninfected villagers and seal off Huangniu Town, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
"What are you two doing? Huangniu Town is very dangerous now! You'd better leave immediately!"
A police officer blocked their way and shouted a warning.
"We're here to help." Ma Ling smiled and said.
"You're here to help?" The police officer frowned, looking puzzled, and couldn't help but take a closer look at the two.
Ma Ling was young and beautiful, looking very energetic, but no matter how one looked at it, Ma Ling's thin arms and legs didn't seem like she could be of much help.
As for Yang Haoran, with his hands in his pockets and a friendly smile on his face, he looked ordinary and unremarkable, making it hard to associate him with a powerful expert.
"Don't mess around, if you don't want to lose your lives, just leave immediately. The situation inside is something the police will handle." The police officer frowned and said sternly.
Ma Ling looked helpless, then said to the middle-aged police officer, "I say, police uncle, we were actually summoned by you. Didn't your superiors inform you?"
As soon as Ma Ling's words fell, a loud explosion suddenly came from within Huangniu Town, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The police on the scene all changed their expressions, and the evacuated villagers also turned their gaze towards the direction of Huangniu Town. Some villagers who had already boarded the vehicles to be evacuated even got off the vehicles and looked towards the source of the sound.
"Such a big noise, was it a cannon shell or something?"
"It's just dealing with a few rabid people, why use a cannon shell?"
The evacuated villagers discussed in low voices, both curious and fearful.
"Don't waste time! Just leave immediately! If you're really curious, I'll send you back to Huangniu Town, how about that?"
A police officer with a grim expression shouted at the villagers, his words even carrying a threatening tone.
This police officer was obviously short-tempered, but he had his reasons for getting angry. Evacuating these villagers from Huangniu Town to here, although the distance was not far, had cost them a lot of effort. Not only did they have to explain to the villagers, but they also had to ensure the safety of the villagers. But some villagers just wouldn't listen, questioning this and that, and some even suspected they were fake police trying to steal their pigs.
The villagers should have been evacuated from Huangniu Town long ago, but because of these reasons, the villagers had not yet fully boarded the vehicles.
Hearing the police officer's words, the villagers' discussions quieted down, and they obediently got on the vehicles, but their gaze still unconsciously turned towards Huangniu Town, with some looking at Huangniu Town before getting on the vehicles, and some leaning on the windows to look after getting on.
They couldn't actually see anything, but their curiosity just couldn't help but make them want to look.
As for the situation with the villagers, Yang Haoran and Ma Ling just glanced at it briefly before turning their attention back to the police officer blocking their way.
"My surname is Ma. You'd better report to your superiors. If they really don't allow us to go in, we'll just leave and not get involved anymore." Ma Ling spoke up, her expression showing some displeasure.
She was summoned by the Spirit Police to help, but now they were refusing to let her in, which really made her feel uncomfortable.
The reason she chose to walk out of the space rift here was that there was a restriction barrier in front, and with her limited ability to tear open space, it was not realistic for her to descend inside the barrier, so she could only find a secluded place outside the barrier to walk out.
But she didn't expect that this police officer would not even allow her to enter.
The sudden explosion just now, while the others present might not know what it was about, Ma Ling and Yang Haoran knew very well that it was the sound of the restriction barrier suddenly shattering.
The fact that the restriction barrier had suddenly shattered meant that the situation inside Huangniu Town was probably beyond the control of the Spirit Police, so they had to go in and support them immediately, or the consequences would become very serious.
Hearing Ma Ling's words, the police officer also felt that the two might have some background, especially when Ma Ling mentioned her surname was Ma, the police officer's expression changed slightly.
"Wait a moment, let me check with my superiors."
The police officer didn't dare to drive the two away anymore, as he felt it was necessary to check with his superiors, otherwise he might end up driving away the wrong people, and then he would be in big trouble.
In a short while, the police officer came back in front of the two, his attitude having changed greatly from before.
"Please, come in."
The police officer no longer blocked their way, but directly invited the two to enter.
Ma Ling didn't say anything, just raised her chin a bit, feeling a sense of satisfaction, and then walked into Huangniu Town.
Yang Haoran just smiled and nodded at the police officer, then followed Ma Ling.
"Be careful!"
Seeing the two walk into Huangniu Town so casually, the police officer frowned and couldn't help but remind them.
"Don't worry, police uncle, there won't be any problems." Ma Ling's voice came from ahead, sounding unconcerned.
After entering Huangniu Town, the two clearly smelled a foul odor, an odor that Yang Haoran had only encountered once before, but the impression was extremely deep. This is pаrt оf а sеriеs frоm Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М|V|L1ЕМРYR).
This unique stench was the corpse odor!
To avoid affecting the outside world, the Spirit Police in Huangniu Town had previously set up a restriction barrier, but just a short time ago, for some unknown reason, the restriction barrier had shattered.
Without the restriction barrier, if the situation became too noisy, it would inevitably bring some impact to the ordinary people, so after entering Huangniu Town, Ma Ling mobilized the power within her body and set up a new restriction barrier.
This restriction barrier covered the entire Huangniu Town, with a larger range than the one previously set up by the Spirit Police.
In Yang Haoran's eyes, Ma Ling's restriction barrier was just a formality, but it could prevent what was happening in Huangniu Town from being discovered by ordinary people, and also prevent ordinary people from entering Huangniu Town.
After a moment, a scream caught their attention, and a figure was sent flying, crashing heavily against the wall before sliding down.
This person's body was limp as it slid down the wall, and before they even hit the ground, several terrifying, four-legged monsters pounced on them.
These four-legged monsters were actually the villagers of Huangniu Town, but they had all been infected with the corpse poison, so they had all become the ferocious Corpse Puppets.
The target they were attacking now, judging from the police uniform, was likely a Spirit Police officer.
The uniform of the Spirit Police was different from that of the regular police, and Yang Haoran had seen this kind of uniform at Bai Xue's place, so he recognized it.
