Chapter 160 - 79 Wraith Flood_2
"What’s happening in the West?" Long Dangdang knitted his brows.
Ling Menglu said, "Have you ever heard of reanimation?"
Long Dangdang paused, "Reanimation? What’s that?"
Long Kongkong sneered, "Dummy, reanimation is when a dead body comes back to life."
Long Dangdang ignored him, and just looked at Ling Menglu who furrowed her eyebrows, "It’s roughly that concept. In the west, especially along the coast, beginning decades ago, some villages experienced graves reanimating. Corpses climbed out of their tombs, either as zombies or skeletons, attacking livestock and humans. They were fearless and incredibly hard to kill, spreading plague, causing multiple mass death incidents."
Long Dangdang exclaimed in surprise, "How come we haven’t heard anything?"
Ling Menglu said, "The Federation instituted a strict news blackout to avoid public panic. The Sacred Legate also dispatched special teams to deal with it. However, the situation is worse than imagined. These reanimated entities aren’t the same as the previous dark creatures of the demon tribe, they aren’t even afraid of light specialty magic and can even operate during the day. They have incredibly strong vitality and some formidable entities have started to appear. The most terrifying are some professionists who were buried and died years ago, inexplicably revived, becoming powerful amongst these wraith entities and even stronger than they were alive."
Long Kongkong couldn’t help but say, "That’s still not as strong as the Sacred Legate. Why not just wipe them out?"
Ling Menglu nodded, "At the beginning, the Sacred Legate thought and did exactly that, killing all these wraith entities that appeared.

This time the affected villages numbered in the teens, causing hundreds of casualties, even turning a few villages into dead zones. Those who died in the villages also transformed into wraith entities. At this point, the Federal Government and the Sacred Legate started to take it seriously, immediately sending investigation teams and strong forces to look into it. But strangely, the wraith entities disappeared once again, as if they had never appeared. That was until a year later..."
At this point, she paused, and then took a deep breath, "A year later, the wraith entities reappeared, and this time, not just zombies and skeletons appeared but new wraith entities too, they also attacked our cities for the first time. One small city had its walls breached before they could prepare..."
