Section 4 Yongdao
Jack slowly walked towards the coffin. He didn't know when he had an extra pistol in his hand. Lin Xin next to him stared straight at the coffin, and he didn't dare to come out.
There was a wind blowing in from outside. The poisonous snake burrows into the body bit by bit, making people shudder and creepy. Although Jack is not Chinese, he is familiar with Chinese culture. Chinese have a different understanding of ghosts than Westerners, and they think that ghosts will become ghosts, which is of course a wrong understanding.
Now, who is lying in the coffin in front of him? Overnight wanderers? Or zombies resurrected from the dead? Thinking of the word zombie, Jack's pace slowed down, and his scalp was a little numb.
The legend of zombies is not only in China, but also in the West. Jack had been to Dracula's Castle two years ago. It's now packed with tourists from all over the world, and what was once a scary and eerie place has been transformed into a bustling playground.
Jack stopped there for two days. He was disappointed, and just as he was leaving, he met an old man. The old man asks him for fifty dollars, and then swears that he can take him to the place where the real vampires once lived.
Sitting in the old man's broken car, after three hours of bumpy mountain roads, Jack came to a mountainous area more than thirty kilometers away from Dracula's Castle. Led by the old man, Jack came to a ruined castle.
The old man said that this was once the residence of the zombie count, which could only be entered during the day, and now there were sleeping zombies inside.
Jack looked at the castle in front of him and took a deep breath. Most of the buildings in the entire castle have collapsed, and only the gate in front of it stands proudly in front of you like that mysterious legend.
Jack slowly pushed open the door of the castle and followed the old man inside.
The world around him instantly became cold and dark. The old man next to him was holding a flashlight and shooting around, and unknown animals lurked in the dark castle, and when he saw the light, he moved, and even bats flew overhead.
A cold wind blew through his body and spread towards the depths of the castle. Jack suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of fear, and he could even imagine a sleeping zombie lying in a few eerie coffins at the end of the castle. They are always waiting for resuscitation, like a enchanted princess waiting for the prince to come to their rescue. Their long-dormant teeth glistened with a chilling glow, peering on everyone who entered.
Eventually, Jack didn't go inside.
On the way back, the old man told him that there had been zombies in China in the far east, and that the zombies there were more legendary than the vampire zombies in the West.
Now, Jack has a strange feeling, just like the horror stories he heard from the old man.
Syllable! There was a noise from inside the coffin, and a man jumped out of it. No, it was no longer human, his body had begun to decay, and half of his face was already a skeleton of Bai Sensen, but he could still move, and there was a heavy breathing sound in his mouth.
Bang! Bang! Jack fired, but the muffled sound of gunfire hit the other man but there was no response.
Could this be China's zombie? Jack froze. At this moment, the zombie on the opposite side turned around and ran towards the ancestral hall, dodging under the offering table next to it.
At this time, Lin Xin reacted. She was shocked by what she had just seen. How is it possible that the man is already rotting and still alive?
Jack clenched the gun in his hand and walked towards the offering table. There was a half-open door under the offering table, and it was from here that the man must have gotten in.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Xin grabbed him.
"I'm going in, I'm curious if that person just now is a Chinese zombie." Jack said with a solemn face.
"No, this, it's too dangerous. Let's get out of here! Lin Xin shook his head.
"It's okay, or you wait for me here. I think you'd better go down with me. Jack smiled slightly and bent down to get inside.
Lin Xin hesitated for a few seconds, and then got in.
This is an underground tunnel. The road under his feet seemed to be one step at a time, and Lin Xin followed Jack step by step. After walking about twenty meters, they stopped.
Jack picked up a miniature flashlight and shone it. In front of me is an iron door with some peculiar patterns carved on it. Jack pushed with his hand, and the iron door creaked and creaked.
Lin Xin pointed to the bottom of the iron door, where a chain lock hung there. Jack picked up the chain lock and looked at it, then opened it with his pistol, and the lock was broken.
Pushing open the iron door, Lin Xin smelled a strong smell of medicine, as pungent as formalin in the hospital, and she couldn't help but cover her nose with the sleeves of her clothes.
There was still a road in front of him, unlike before, the road here was flat, and Jack held the pistol in his hand, his eyes staring around vigilantly.
Walking to the end of the corridor, Lin Xin saw a room with lights in it.
Jack walked softly to the door and peered in by the light.
Lin Xin also wanted to walk over, but she smelled a strange fragrance, and her eyes began to dizzy, and just when she noticed that something was wrong and was about to remind Jack, she fell to the ground.
As if from a crack somewhere, the tide-like darkness kept pouring out, soaking in the dead silence of the space. Lin Xin felt a strange smell, the smell of death, slowly expanding and shattering. Lin Xin felt that he was walking in the boundless dark night, the silence grew like a vine wildly, and everything seemed to be as barren as if it were dead. The whole world is left with herself.
In the darkness, a cold hand grabbed her feet. What kind of hand? It was a one without a trace of temperature, as cold as a thousand years of ice. Little by little, the cold air spread from her ankles to her body, and the hand gripped her tightly, and the knuckles of her fingers seemed to pinch into her muscles. Lin Xin felt that the pores all over her body were involuntarily shrinking and avoiding.
A faint green light began to light up in the darkness, and Lin Xin saw that the person holding his foot turned out to be Bai Ling. The blood in her chest was pouring out like a spring, but her eyes were still bright.
"Help me." The hoarse voice was as eerie as if it were coming from hell. Bai Ling grabbed her trembling feet and slowly dragged her body over. Lin Xin saw her mouth open deformously, as if she was calling for help and wanting to drag her away to the eighteenth floor of hell.
"Don't, don't." Lin Xin began to break free, she desperately kicked Bai Ling away with her feet, but her hands grasped the ground tighter.
"Haha, haha." Bai Ling's laughter began to grow poignant, and he slowly sobbed in a low voice.
Lin Xin ran forward with all his might. Suddenly, she trembled and collapsed to the ground, and she cried mournfully, "Leave me alone!" Bai Ling, we are sisters! ”
The hand on his feet suddenly let go, and the world fell silent.
Lin Xin raised her head, and she saw a faint green light emerge faintly, and a figure suddenly appeared in the misty light. As the green light slowly expanded, the person's appearance appeared clearly in front of him little by little. He was the one whose whole body was starting to rot.
At this moment, his deeply sunken left eye was staring straight at Lin Xin, and some ghostly aura emanated from his body, forming a huge air current, trapping Lin Xin tightly inside.
Lin Xin froze, she hugged her head and screamed loudly, all the fear poured out with her scream.
The world fell silent, the faint green light vanished, the ghostly rotten man vanished, and there was a serenity in front of him after an undercurrent.
Lin Xin opened her eyes, and she saw a man slapping her face anxiously. The man's appearance was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and soon, a person appeared in her mind, the man was the captain of the criminal investigation team, Gao Cheng.
At this time, Lin Xin heard someone next to him say, "Captain, this young foreign man has woken up." ”
Jack, it's Jack.
Lin Xin struggled to sit up, and she saw herself lying on the ground at the entrance of the road, Jack leaning against the wall, and someone next to him was helping him to stand up.
That person Lin Xin also knows, he is Gao Cheng's assistant, Yang Fan.
