Chapter 7: The Strongest Man in the Fasheng District
Xun Ma woke up and saw Su Rong squatting in front of him. The sky was already getting brighter. Su Rong was looking at him.
Xunma rubbed his eyes, and found that his hand had been reflexively pressed on the knife, and if he slept a little more confused, Su Rong's head had already been cut off by him.
He took a deep breath, the dream made him very tired, so he was in a bad mood.
The thing in the dream, after seeing the firelight, quickly retreated, and the horse did not dare to come out of the hole until dawn. The dead leaves that were used to cover the holes in the ground became his life-saving straw, and he relied on his fire sickle and straw to survive until dawn.
The walking corpse is not human, and it definitely does not belong to this world. Its entire face was white, and the veins under its skin were vein-like thin veins, and it had no eyes, and there was only a crack in its face. It's vertically long.
It's all like this, but its hands and feet are much longer than a human, so it looks very uncoordinated, and it walks in a strange way. But it moves very fast.
Let Xunma think that this thing is a walking corpse, the color of the blood vessels under its thin skin, exactly the same color as the "blood" in the walking corpse, this color is not a sloppy red-black, but a special red.
The walking corpse and this monster should be connected.
When he reached the surface at dawn, all the scarecrows were there, but his companions were gone, and the ground was covered with blood, which formed a trail that led straight to the mine behind the village.
Xunma counted the scarecrows, in the village, there were three thousand six hundred and ninety-nine scarecrows, this number is very strange, according to the written record, the number of three thousand seven hundred, should have a special meaning for the scarecrow, but why is there one less.
Xunma later thought carefully about the meaning of those words, and he wondered if it could be the person who wrote the words, and the night when he put all the scarecrows out, there was only one scarecrow who completed the transformation and turned into the monster he saw just now.
Although he didn't understand the ridiculous things of scarecrows, transformations, etc., he couldn't help but deduce: if that was the case, where did the villagers go, they should have been killed by the monster and dragged into the mines like their companions?
Scarecrows, in absolute darkness, as long as programmed by the prescribed straw, will become something else, this other thing, containing this monster.
At noon, when the three of them arrived at the bell tower near the city gate, Xunma felt that it was inconvenient for pregnant women, and originally planned to come by himself, but Su Rong really didn't have anything inconvenient. They came with a belly, and the three of them looked inside the city gate. Originally, there were a lot of wooden prickly pears there, forming three circles of fortifications, which were attacked by the walking corpses outside the city at the moment of opening the door. Now it's full of walking corpses.
The inner square within the entire city gate was full of walking corpses, densely packed, and there were tens of thousands of people. I wouldn't have come here before I hunted for horses. If this is seen, chased by tens of thousands of walking corpses, no matter how high you hide, you will be instantly crushed.
No matter how many times I come here, the conclusion is still the same, I can't get out.
They were trapped here by these 10,000 corpses.
The three of them lay on the back slope of a roof in the invisible square, and began to discuss.
"Why don't you go and lure them away, and we take the opportunity to sneak out?" Xiao You said to Xunma: "In this way, you have made a meritorious service, although you are dead, your family can be rewarded." You think about it. ”
"I don't have any family. Xunma replied casually: "It's better for you to lure them away, you have such a good relationship with your young lady, you won't dare to sacrifice." ”
Xiao You was surprised that Xunma could say such a thing: "You actually let a woman do this kind of thing." Are you still a man?"
"There is no doubt that I am, but I am not a stupid man, and I don't want to be a dead man. Xunma saw that the sky was full of crows, and there were more of them than last month, all of them flying from the mountains. He rolled over, already knowing the conclusion: "We can't get out on our own, we have to find more helpers." ”
"There aren't many people left in this city, how can we find them?" asked Su Rong. "I'm afraid it's useless to find one or two more. ”
Xun Ma said: "This is the area managed by the Law Sage, and it is said that the class of the Law Sage was a psychic with great power a long time ago, although in this era, we have never seen this kind of power. But this custom is still preserved in this area. That is, spiritual children will be selected to learn the so-called spells with the Dharma Sage. I remember that there was a special school where these superstitious customs were taught. One of them was a teacher who was a friend of mine. He should be able to help us. ”
"Could he already be a dead friend. ”
"He's not going to die. Hunting Horse said.
"Why, and a teacher, why can he help us out?"
"He's the best guy in the district. Xunma said: "He may even be the most powerful one in this generation of young people, but his personality is too strange." I don't want to go to him unless I have to. ”
Su Rong suddenly became interested: "Oh, is he interested in being a cheap dad?"
"You wouldn't want to have anything to do with that kind of person. He said, "He would rather marry a dead man than marry you." ”
