Chapter 378 – Envoy Heron

As they continued their discussion, Cao Yuntai entered the house. He came to report the finding in the village.

The older man bowed his head before he proceeded forward, "I come to report the finding, My Lord!"

Tang Shaoyang nodded, indicating for Cao Yuntai to give his report. At this point, he did not have any expectation that his subordinate could find the survivors.

"We did not find survivors in the village, we are now searching the perimeter of the village," Cao Yuntai reported the current progress.

Tang Shaoyang was not disappointed as he had expected this. He commanded them to search for the survivor, just in case he could find a few lucky fellows.

He was about to dismiss Cao Yuntai, but he noticed the older man wanted to say more, "Do you have more reports?"

"Yes," Cao Yuntai made a strange expression, he looked unsure whether to say it or not, but he said it anyway, "An envoy from the Daian Kingdom comes to meet you, and he is a zombie."

Tang Shaoyang's eyes brightened up. If he expected no survivors, he was not expecting that the kingdom made by zombies would send their envoy.

On top of that, it was just like ten to fifteen minutes after the battle ended. The kingdom had sent their envoy out. What made him even more curious, what this envoy wanted to talk about?

"Then bring this envoy in, we have to treat our guests well, Captain Cao!" Tang Shaoyang smiled at Cao Yuntai.

The older man was appointed as Captain, a hundred men commander after his performance back in the Survival Game.

The older man nodded and went out of the house. Outside, Fan Rui was waiting for him, "What should we do with the zombie? Should we kill him?" The young man was smiling and asking him with excitement.

The same for Cao Yuntai, Fan Rui had become a Captain too. This was the first battle for him as a Captain, so the young man was a little bit more excited.

Cao Yuntai rolled his eyes at his ex-subordinate who was no at the same rank as him, "You are a Captain, a head of a hundred men, act like one, will you!?"

"I am doing my best right now. Disposing of a potential threat is my job as well," Fan Rui hit the chest to show his reliable side.

Cao Yuntai ignored the remark as he walked toward where the envoy was. He let the zombie stay outside under many people's watch, "Lord Shaoyang asked us to bring the envoy to meet him."

"Huh!? Why? Why would we talk with the zombies, we come to slaughter them!" Fan Rui had become the chatterbox, he kept talking non-stop as they headed toward outside.

Cao Yuntai arrived at the entrance of the village. There was a figure wearing a black cloak standing in the middle of Tarrior. Despite the hostile gazes around him, the black-cloaked zombie was calmly standing there with no expression.

The zombie had a pale white, it was so pale as if the zombie just came out of an ice block. Some flesh on his cheek was missing, the blood had dried up, not as disgusting as a zombie normally.

If there was one thing that made the zombie different, it was his eyes. It was not grayish, dead-fish eyes, but black, a total black.

The zombie reacted at Cao Yuntai's arrival. The zombie glanced at the older man 

"Lord Shaoyang wants to meet you," Cao Yuntai informed, and at the same time, he activated [Basic Detection].

Cao Yuntai found it did not change. He had used the detection once before but he could not gather more information other than this man was a zombie and part of the Daian Kingdom.

The others looked calm and at ease, but this worried Cao Yuntai. The display was also different, this zombie was a named zombie. It had a name and also a class. This zombie was far scarier than a normal zombie.

"I expected that," a clear and masculine voice flowed from the zombie's mouth. He then followed Cao Yuntai and Fan Rui.

Tang Shaoyang was waiting in the house. He called Yu Shun over. He was expecting the young man to do something after the talk with the envoy.

Tang Shaoyang, Wei Xi, Zhang Mengyao, and Yu Shun were the four people in the room. He sent the others outside to search the perimeter area. He wanted them to check whether the envoy was bringing their army or not.

He did not want to get caught off guard by the zombie's attack. Tang Shaoyang did not underestimate the zombies despite the weak stigma on them. After all, zombies were the weakest creature he had encountered so far.

The wooden door then creaked open. Cao Yuntai was the first one to enter the house and followed with the envoy.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised that the zombie looked more human. If not for the chunk of flesh missing from his cheek, people might think this dude is a human like them.

With the bizarre appearance of a zombie, Tang Shaoyang cast [Basic Detection] on the envoy.

He was surprised to see the display status of the zombie. This was the strongest zombie he had ever encountered so far.

Tang Shaoyang then glanced at Yu Shun. He could see the excitement in his eyes. He smiled and looked back at the envoy of the Daian Kingdom.

The zombie scanned the four people in the house. There were four people, but only one of them was sitting on the chair. The zombie quickly found out who the leader was.

The zombie focused on Tang Shaoyang alone as soon as it identified the leader. The envoy stepped closed, putting his right hand on the chest, and bowing his head at Tang Shaoyang.

"Greetings to the Human Lord! I am an envoy of the Daian Kingdom, Heron."

Tang Shaoyang made a surprised expression when he heard the greeting. He was not expecting the zombie would be this polite. It was a mindless zombie before, so he was surprised to see the transformation was too big.

A mindless zombie transformed into a zombie with etiquette.

Tang Shaoyang rested his chin on his hand and tilted his head to the right. He was smiling and nodded toward the zombie, "I heard you have a message from your lord for, go ahead!"

Heron stood there, staring Tang Shaoyang to the eyes. The zombie seemed to be expecting to hear more from Tang Shaoyang, "I thought it was human etiquette to introduce themselves before they talk."

"First, you are wrong. Most humans don't talk with strangers. Second, your position is much lower than mine. I don't need to introduce myself to someone like you unless your lord comes to meet me," he grinned at the zombie.

"Fair point, then let's skip the useless pleasantries since you do not like it," Heron nodded, and for the first time, there was a change of expression on his face.

His pale forehead creased slightly. It seemed the zombie was not emotionless for him to get angry over this.

"My Lord asks you to leave our territory, leave or we will bring the war to you and your people!"
