Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1183

As soon as those words fell, someone beside the villager glared harshly at him. "Why must they go to your place? I have a spare room, too! Are you trying to hog them?"

"Right! I also have extra rooms. They can stay at my place!"

Then, things erupted into an argument.

Edward, who usually wore a gentle look, couldn't help but furrow his brows at that moment. Even his countenance turned solemn.

Shannon, on the other hand, was expressionless, thinking, "They don't even bother to pretend, do they?"

At the very least, the guidewoman changed into clean and high-coverage clothes. Yet the people surrounding the house had clear, dried bloodstains on both their clothes and hands.

Lexie gasped, grabbing the hem of Shannon's shirt and tightening her grip. Despite forcing herself to stay calm, she muttered to the latter, "Shannon, these are… the living dead."

It was hard to tell when they were alone with the woman. However, when all of the villagers gathered together, it was simply impossible to ignore the unique scent and energy belonging to the living dead!

What kind of undead nest had they stepped into?

Originally, Lexie thought they would be able to handle the lone woman. However, it appeared they were greatly outnumbered.

Shannon's heart skipped a beat when hearing about the living dead. Gazing at the villagers, she unhesitatingly piped up. "Uncle Reggie?"

She said toward Reginald at the front, "I just remembered we left the presents in the car. Why don't we grab them and return later?"

They had to retreat—now.

Never mind that the group of six was outnumbered by the strange, living dead—just having Reginald, an ordinary person, with them was enough to become a liability. If anything happened, they would have to protect him at all costs.

Therefore, the best solution was to flee and come up with a new plan.
