Zombie Empress (37)

(Xyrean Province- Inner Regions)

(The Mermaid's Lake)

Qin Lan raised up her hand and everyone stopped moving. She reached into her pocket and handed out some energy bars to the young teenagers.

After two days of walking, they had finally arrived at the largest lake in the province. 

Mermaid's Lake as the locals called it was the main source of freshwater for all the farmlands that were spread across the province.

Legend has it that an ancient warrior fell in love with a Sea God's daughter and built this lake as their home so that she would always have a place to swim.

No one is quite sure how the story ends because there are dozens of variations but in most, they both live happily ever after.

Qin Lan could spot a few farmhouses and a large two-story building made from concrete on the other side of the lake.
