Chapter 414: Poor Sentinel

"Chief Xu Ning, are you okay? That corpse tide is so terrifying, how did you escape?"

Everyone really felt that Xu Ning seemed to be really omnipotent, even such a huge zombie team could solve it, and he could still get out of it.

"I don't have such a big ability, it's the group of little frogs who can swallow dozens of them in one bite, forget it, don't care, let them go to the little frogs' stomachs for a meeting." ”

It's night now, and it's not suitable to rush anymore, so Xu Ning just found a cave and planned to deal with it here for a night at night.

After a day of tossing, everyone was already very tired, so after arranging the people standing guard, Xu Ning also leaned on the stone wall to sleep.

However, in the middle of the night, Xu Ning suddenly woke up from his dream, and at this time, he found that the four sentries standing guard were all gone.

So Xu Ning quickly woke up Fang Mingao.

"Fang Ming'ao, what about the sentry I asked you to find, why is there no one?"

Generally speaking, as a soldier, when performing tasks in the field, you will not sleep too deeply, so as not to be unable to respond when something happens.

However, Fang Mingao was so tired that it took Xu Ning a while to wake him up.

"Didn't you have someone on duty?"

"How is it possible, Sir Xu Ning, my heart is not so big, could it be that these guys are so tired that they fall asleep?"

For these soldiers brought out by himself, Fang Mingao still knew some details, so he guessed this reason.

"Let's take a look, I'll replace them when I'm really tired, I don't need to tell you how dangerous it is here. ”

The two then walked together to the entrance of the cave, but there were no shadows of the four sentries on either side of the cave.

"Strange, where have the people gone?"

"Ahh

A terrible scream pierced the night sky, and the two hurriedly chased after them.

Finally, under a huge locust tree, the two of them knew where the sound was coming from.

A man in a clear suit was lying on the body of one of the soldiers, sucking blood, two others next to him had fallen, and another was also crawling on the ground half-dead, his arms were full of blood, and he was not far from death.

In the light of the white moonlight, the wizened man was gulping down the poor little sentry's blood, his eyelids sinking more and more.

"Stiff...... Zombies!"

Fang Ming'ao was already frightened, he really couldn't imagine that there was even such a thing on the island.

"Zombies" are something that almost no Chinese people will feel unfamiliar with.

In the 80s of the last century, the appearance of the strange film "Mr. Zombie" created a movie-watching myth of the year, because of this film, the entire film industry on Hong Kong Island set off a zombie craze.

Of course, zombies are not a product that became popular after this film, this species can be traced back to ancient times.

Legend has it that the female is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, when she was sick, she was possessed by a wisp of remnant soul of the divine beast, and since then she has become a monster with infinite power, and she also has special abilities.

Because of this strong ability, the female fish is also called "drought fish", later, this legend has been passed down for many years, it is said that in some remote areas, when there is a big drought, the local villagers will come out to look for "drought fish", only this thing is burned to death, the sky will rain again.

In China, even in the sixties of the last century, there was still a custom of burning dry fish in the countryside of Ludi.

The method of distinguishing whether a dead person is a "drought" is also very simple, the conventional version is that this thing is changed by a dead person within 100 days of death, and the corpse of a dead person who has become a drought, does not decompose, no grass grows on the grave, and the grave is still leaking, basically that's it.

Of course, these are legends, and the age of the drought is so old that the authenticity has diminished considerably.

However, the word zombie has endured for a long time, and it is difficult to dismiss it with the word superstition.

Even some literary masters in ancient times were very convinced of the existence of this species, such as Ji Xiaolan, a literary master of the Qing Dynasty, who even wrote a book for this purpose, "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", and Yuan Mei also had a related work "Zi Buyu", both of which have introduced this species.

Although modern people have been educated in science for a long time, there are still many things in the world that cannot be told by science.

Of course, there will be many people who can't help but laugh after reading these two books, because it is normal for ancient people to lack scientific concepts.

However, far from it, the closest thing to this era is the zombie attack that occurred in Kawachi in the nineties of the last century.

It is said that in that year, the experts of the Sichuan archaeological team carried out scientific research activities here, and they happened to dig up 3 ancient corpses near the Zhuge Temple, which were later confirmed by many parties that these corpses should be from the Qing Dynasty.

And due to the poor supervision of the relevant departments, on the night of the same day, the three ancient corpses that had just been found actually disappeared, and the impact of this incident was not very great at that time.

It's just that just a few days after these corpses disappeared, five more zombies appeared in the river, including these three.

According to local accounts, the corpses had sharp teeth and were bitten at sight.

Some of the people who were bitten by zombies died on the spot, while others became zombies like them, and they also bit people when they saw them, completely devoid of self-awareness.

At that time, many people witnessed the zombie bite incident, and the incident caused a lot of sensation.

In the face of such a thing, the ZF department adopted the method of suppression, and United TV also came out to refute the rumors, saying that such a thing was not true, but just a false rumor.

But not long after, news came out that these zombies were all "killed".

According to people familiar with the matter, at that time ZF sent part of the army and burned them with *****, so each zombie has burn marks on its body.

Later, the bodies were buried, but no one knows where they were buried.

After that, it seems that all news has been blocked, and there is no way for people from the outside world to know about it.

Therefore, although this matter caused a lot of sensation, it also ended in the end due to ZF's interference.

However, at the time, the exaggeration of this rumor was really beyond imagination, and the school teachers asked the students to go home quickly after school, and the parents did not allow their children to go out.

Some people even put hammers or evil spirits next to their pillows, ready to fight zombies at any time.

And Fang Ming'ao happens to be from Chuandi, which seems to evoke the shadow of his childhood.
