Chapter 13: The Corpse
The closer you get to the answer, the more brutal you feel. That's life.
In Guanglong's works, the walking corpse is a parasitic organism, and once it enters the host, the host's nutrients will be gradually eroded. When unconscious, the Walking Dead Bug begins to take over the brain, reproduces wildly, and eventually gains control and becomes the Walking Dead.
Unexpectedly, Lao Wang still maintains this characteristic setting.
While looking inside the sarcophagus, Guanglong noticed something unusual. He saw a faint green glow reflected in the half-hidden lid of the coffin. He tried to open the lid of the coffin, but the heavy stone slab couldn't handle it alone, so he hurriedly called Fei Nan: "Hey, help me remove the lid, there is something inside." ”
Fei Nan stopped: "Don't move blindly, you're not afraid of a little zombie inside." Run. Guanglong insisted on not leaving, and Fei Nan had no choice but to help him remove the lid of the coffin.
The green light in the sarcophagus had indeed been seen, the same as in the mezzanine leading to the chamber. What is this gelatinous substance like phosphor, sticky to the touch, and exudes a foul smell. It can't be some kind of walking corpse worm dung. There was also an object in the green light, lying in a strip in the corner.
Guanglong reluctantly removed the green glue and took out the object. It is a mysterious object about 20 centimeters long and wrapped in strips of cloth, I don't know what kind of treasure it is.
Fei Nan looked at it and said uneasily: "You don't want to open it, do you?" I advise you not to do anything stupid, maybe you will break some seal, or summon something bad. You see it's wrapped in bandages like a mummy. ”
Guanglong seemed to have some kind of resonance with the objects in his hands, and he could no longer hear any advice. He smiled as he removed the bandage and said, "Are you stupid in the second dimension?" ”
Open the bandage, it was a seemingly ordinary dagger. Guanglong looked back and forth, there was no gorgeous ornamentation, and there was no inlaid gemstone agate and the like. It's just that the image of the blade is cool, with a dragon tattooed?
Guanglong looked carefully: "This dragon is a little special. ”
Fei Nan looked at it: "What's there, it's very ordinary." ”
Guanglong shook his head slightly: "Our form of dragon is generally a snake with eagle claws and no wings, but this dragon has wings unique to the West. ”
Fei Nan suddenly realized: "It's really true that you said this, I didn't even pay attention to it." Is it the product of a combination of East and West? ”
Then Guanglong is unknown. He stared for a long time, if this knife had a name, maybe it would be called the Alien Dragon Knife.
Guanglong said disappointedly: "I thought it was a baby." ”
Fei Nan Zhengse said: "Don't underestimate it. Hidden so tightly, maybe it's a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay. ”
Guanglong was noncommittal. As he spoke, he stabbed the knife into the stone wall, and he watched as the knife poked into the wall with ease. It's not as easy as cutting tofu, but it's not strenuous. He pulled it out and looked at it again and again with joy, and couldn't help but praise the good knife.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the coffin.
In addition to being pleasantly surprised, he suddenly heard Fei Nan screaming and stumbling to the ground. Guanglong saw that the zombies were still crawling on the ground, and he didn't know when he crawled to them, and grabbed Fei Nan to death~
Before they could react, the zombie grabbed Fei Nan's leg with one claw.
Guanglong immediately sobered up, ran over and stabbed the zombie in the back with a knife in his hand. The knife almost pierced the chest, and I saw the zombie's painful scream, and then let go of Fei Nan. He helped Concubine Nan to a safe place, but fortunately the injuries were not serious, only deep scratches were left on his legs, and some blood was shed. If you want to be later, the meat on your legs will have to be torn off whole. Fei Nan was already hungry and weak, but now she was almost unconscious when she was startled.
It seems that the savior has been completely reduced to the walking dead, losing faith and consciousness.
The zombie's chest oozed ~ blood, and his painful hands danced and rushed towards Guanglong. Guanglong immediately crossed the sword, knowing that he was no longer under control, and hesitated: "I'm sorry, although you saved Fei Nan's life." Let me free you. ”
As soon as the zombie's hand stretched out, Guanglong took advantage of the situation to dodge the treasure knife and cut it down, but who knew that the zombie's finger was actually cut off. Last time, he didn't use a cue to deal with it, and he thought that zombies were invulnerable, but now he thinks that the weapon can't be used. Look at the zombies again, they're gone.
Thinking about zombies, they will also use their brains, and they will escape if they understand that it is not good for them. The zombies I encountered in KTV before can be seen, and they will actually spy on Guanglong's actions, instead of recklessly~ things, it seems that the zombie's brain is still working subconsciously, or it is ordered by someone.
Guanglong guarded the south side of the concubine to avoid a sudden attack by zombies. The nature is difficult to move, and the zombies will definitely attack.
Concubine Nan was half unconscious, and Guanglong simply bandaged him with the knife cloth before and comforted him a few words. Guanglong knew that it would be dangerous if he didn't feed him as soon as possible, and he didn't know how long he could support it based on his resistance. There are also wounds that are easy to get infected if they are not disinfected. Now that he has to deal with the zombies first, Guanglong deliberately turned his back to the dark side and sold a flaw.
Sure enough, I heard the zombies rushing towards them with a low roar. Guanglong turned around and stabbed straight at the zombie.
The zombie suffered from pain and knelt on the ground with his severed hand. Blood began to gush on his back, on his head, and on his hands. The zombies screamed like they shook the sky, their heads shaking hysterically. Guanglong stood in front of the zombies and smiled: "Now you know that you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy?" It's too late for you to lick my shoes and admit your mistakes. As he spoke, the zombie stopped moving, and maintained a kneeling posture as if it was dead.
Guanglong's hand holding the knife was not put down for a long time, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him, and the zombie pointed to the ground with his other full hand, and began to write with difficulty.
With every gesture, the zombie made a muffled sound, as if his body was no longer his. There were crooked words written on the ground, and when he was about to finish writing, Guanglong already understood, "Run."
Guanglong looked at him in surprise. Good fellow, it turns out that he hasn't completely turned into a zombie yet. He has been fighting against himself, with his strong will. With the last bit of consciousness, the last of his kindness, he warned Guanglong that he was dangerous.
You can't run away and leave Fei Nan alone. Looking at the painful zombies at his feet, Guanglong made a difficult decision.
"Hey!" Fei Nan shouted behind him.
Guanglong turned his head, and Fei Nan laughed miserably: "Don't hesitate, do it according to your own will." Although he is my savior, I just paid him back. Killing him is the last thing we can help him, and he doesn't want to be so painful. ”
Guanglong resolutely walked over and lifted the zombie's head, but there was no reaction. "Dead?"
The zombie suddenly opened its red eyes, and the blood basin bit Guanglong.
Guanglong was not surprised, his left hand pressed his head, and the sword in his right hand slammed into his chest as fast as he could. In the end, Guanglong's hands were numb, and finally the zombie stood straight ~ straight ~ straight and completely unresponsive.
Guanglong's hand loosened, and the zombie fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
The crisis is far from over. The zombie is dead, but the corpse has changed dramatically. Guanglong was about to help Concubine Nan leave this ghost place, when he accidentally saw the zombie's severed hand suddenly jumping, he thought that the zombie was not dead, and was about to make up for it. At this point, something crawls out of it. Then the wounds on the head and back also crawled out.
Guanglong pushed Fei Nan in horror: "Hey, get up and eat quickly!" This time we sent it. ”
Fei Nan reluctantly opened his eyes when he heard this, only to see him change color and say, "It's corpse insects, stay away from them!" ”
To be precise, the Walking Dead Bugs, the initiators of the Walking Dead, if you want to experience the feeling of zombies, just wait for them to burrow into your body.
Disgusting tawny bugs crawled out of the zombies' wounds, accompanied by green gelatin. The worm was like an earthworm, but much smaller than an earthworm, with two rows of cilia flying up and down, and as soon as it landed, it began to wriggle.
Guanglong retreated to his side and said, "Aren't you hungry?" That's enough for you to eat. ”
Fei Nan looked at Guanglong in despair and said, "I eat it or it eats me." What are you eating? ”
Guanglong couldn't help but gag when he looked at it, was that the delicacy he had ever eaten? It's obviously thin and small, but it's much fatter when it's baked. Bugs have crawled all over the surface of the zombies. I didn't think that there were such a number of bugs in the corpses, what a sin. Thinking about the thousands of bugs crawling in his body, he couldn't help but shiver all over.
Guanglong curiously walked to the side of the zombies and kept a certain distance from the bugs. The corpse had been hollowed out and became a blur of flesh and blood. He thought that the zombies had an empty shell, but in fact, they had long since lost their thoughts, and they were controlled by some ugly bugs, and they were in a mess all day long.
It's strange that Guanglong is so close to the Walking Corpse Worm, but he is not interested in him. They don't actively attack humans. Looking closely at the walking corpse insects, the amber body is translucent, and the blood vessels and nerve tissues inside can be faintly seen. It's just that as soon as it touches the air, its mobility is greatly reduced, and it is like dying.
I almost forgot that the walking corpse insects are also light-averse, so zombies are afraid of light.
Guanglong had the courage to step on a bug, thinking that it would kill if he tried hard, but he didn't expect it to be stepped on like a rubbery touch. The body of the insect is soft and malleable, and no matter how Guanglong steps on it, it only deforms with it, but as soon as the foot leaves, it returns to its original shape.
It's funny, it's not round and can't be stepped on. I don't know what will happen with a knife.
Guanglong pointed a knife at a stab, and the insect writhed wildly in pain. After a while, the insect did not move, and a lot of pale green blood gushed out from the wound~ and slowly contracted like a deflated balloon. In the end, the insect was left with a layer of skin, and a pool of green blood around it. Before death, people were left with an empty skin, and after death, only skin remained, which can be regarded as karma.
Fei Nan struggled to come over, and saw the insects gathered around the zombies and did not leave, as if he was nostalgic for his home. Fei Nan was puzzled and said, "What's the matter?" It doesn't seem to be dangerous. ”
Guanglong said with bad intentions: "You're not hungry. Don't miss such a great fries feast. ”
After moving away from the zombies, Guanglong couldn't help but look back. Helper, it's a pity that I can't bury you with my own hands. Let this secret room be your permanent burial chamber, and poetry and songs will accompany you to sleep. Rest in peace.
Looking at the walking corpse insects again, they don't seem to be active, and they don't move. This is the kind of insect that Guanglong eats? It doesn't feel like it.
helped Fei Nan to the entrance of the cave, just enough to pass sideways alone. Guanglong first helped Fei Nan pass, and when he looked at the destroyed stone carvings again, although he didn't understand much, he still sighed. If it's a valuable relic, it's really a tyrannical thing. Guanglong could see his eyes, and Fei Nan shouted at him several times before he reacted back.
From the experience of coming to this ghost place and encountering Niu Tou Ma Mian to meeting Fei Nan, Guanglong knew very well that it was not hell. Everything is fake, why does Lao Wang go to great lengths to create an atmosphere. There is also a chance encounter with Fei Nan, isn't it specially arranged?
I don't know what dangers lie ahead, what kind of adventures await them. There was no food to satisfy his hunger, and Guanglong had no hope. It's just that this light is intense, and there is a warm feeling on the body, a feeling of home.
