Chapter 1179: Village Chief
The area of the village was larger than Han Dong had expected.
The highly developed steam technology presents a stark contrast to the desolate village structure...... It's as if this technique was brought in from the outside.
The 'Huang family' corresponding to the corpse seems to have a high status in the village.
So much so that a man who claimed to be the village chief's family took the initiative to find him as a guide, and at the same time briefly introduced the situation in the village, after all, the two had not returned for two hundred years.
The male is a "corpse man" whose jaw has been completely replaced by a machine, his body is thin and even less than 1.3 meters, and he carries a paper lantern in his hand.
But.
According to Han Dong's observation, this person walked very lightly, and did not leave any footprints on the village path during the whole process, which also represents some characteristics of speed.
In addition, Han Dong also discovered some details in the village.
Except for a very small number of 'energetic' corpses like the man, the rest of the villagers showed a low and weak image, similar to the image of foreign zombies, and even the most basic walking seemed soft and weak.
"Fourth master, your back is really good! Apparently the effect of long-term deep burial.
Your young master's nails are also good, almost half the thickness of the village chief, and the color is unusually bright...... is worthy of being a member of the Huang family.
In a few days, there will be a [Dragon Boat] coming, so go and give it a try, maybe you will be chosen. ”
"Checked?" Han Dong looked puzzled.
"It seems that the young master's brain has not fully recovered.
But it doesn't matter, you'll know when the time comes...... The dragon boat is a big event, and the village chief and his old man will also go over in person, hahaha! ”
As he spoke about it, the man's mechanical jaw kept opening and closing, and he let out a stiff laugh.
After a while, a decaying and desolate mansion appeared in front of him, and the word "yellow" could still be clearly seen on the plaque in front of the door.
These two-storey mansions with front yards are a few fingers in the village.
The village chief's family was also responsible, and immediately brought a group of ordinary villagers to Huang Siye as a new domestic servant, a total of six men and women, missing arms and legs, or intestines and rotten stomachs.
"This kind of corpse with incomplete flesh belongs to the lowest class of village servants, and can be bought directly in the bazaar in the center of the village...... I'll arrange it directly for Huang Siye here, so I won't bother you to run errands.
They should be able to take care of the chores up and down your house. ”
Huang Siye, played by the doctor, immediately refused:
"Not for the time being, my child and I have just woken up, and we don't want to be disturbed by others for the time being...... Wait for us to stay a few days before we consider the matter of the servants. ”
"Yes, I'm thinking too much.
Rest well, you two, I won't bother...... However, there is one thing that the two of you should keep in mind, the village chief has been recuperating recently, and it is inconvenient to see anyone.
If you have any questions, you can come to me directly, and don't bother the village chief. ”
"Okay."
"Then don't disturb the rest of the two."
With that, a miasma swept away.
The man carrying the paper lantern disappeared directly.
However, this kind of blinding method can't avoid Han Dong's eyes...... The miasma came from the corpse of the family and was released through the squeezing of lumps on the surface of the body.
At the moment when the miasma enveloped his body, he made a quick leap and landed his body on the tiled house more than ten meters apart.
"This guy is very problematic and wants to arrange eyeliner around us. On the surface, he pretends to be enthusiastic, but in fact there are many small actions...... What does the doctor think? ”
The doctor habitually sticks his fingers through the ear holes, scratching at his brain, "Hmm...... Maybe it has something to do with the upcoming Dragon Ship.
Why don't you rest here, my lord, and I'll go gather information?
According to what the guy said just now, my status in the village should be relatively high, and I should be able to ask something. ”
Dr. Swelling is completely a loyal worker in front of Han Dong, always thinking about doing things for his boss.
"Don't worry, since this group of people has ideas for us, it's better to stay together...... Maybe there is a lot of information and secrets hidden in the Yellow Mansion.
Let's stay first. ”
"Okay."
……
The man who was in charge of leading the way before had turned back as soon as possible.
There was a sickly smile on his rotten face.
A secret back door leads back to the village chief's mansion, the only three-story building in the village, with an all-metal tiled gabled roof and a giant chimney.
It's like a mansion and a private workshop.
As the man made his way through the winding passages to the bottom, a gust of wind struck and blew out the lantern in his hand.
In front of him corresponds to a square chamber.
There is a metal mechanism in the corner, and four iron chains hang a black coffin in the air...... There was a smell of flesh in the air, as if a feast had just been held here.
"Village chief, Huang Siye and his son were actually resurrected at this time, it's really incredible.
I just picked them up at the entrance of the village, Huang Siye's spine is quite exquisite, I have never seen such a translucent and pale exposed spine, and the whole also exudes a strong smell of corpses.
His son's nails are also quite thick, and Kurosawa is translucent...... However, they seemed to be a little wary of me, and they didn't even ask for the domestic servants I had arranged in advance.
Do you need to do it tonight? ”
"Rubbish!"
A roar of rage rang out.
The roar alone shook the man out of the way, slamming against the wall, shivering.
"Who told you to arrange for a servant? Huang Siye was extremely cunning when he was alive, don't you know what the village looks like now? The villagers' [corpse] was basically squeezed dry by me, and even if this cunning old guy didn't return to the village for a long time, he must have noticed the abnormality.
Hurry up and keep a good watch on the Huang family for me to make sure they stay in the house. ”
"Yes...... It's ......"
"Still, the information you brought back was good...... If Huang Siye can fill the last vacancy for me, I will be able to get the [Ferry Ticket] safely.
This is my last chance, and your last.
After I have digested the remaining corpse in my body, I will go to the ...... of the two fathers and sons tonight Go and keep an eye on it. ”
"Yes!"
The man crawled away with a panicked expression.
The village chief lying in the black coffin was covered with strange white hairs all over his body, and with the absorption of a certain substance, these hairs gradually collected in his body, and two fangs escaping black qi hung at the corners of his mouth.
"God really help me, seeing that there is not much corpse essence left for me to absorb, I didn't expect Huang Siye to wake up at this time...... The Huang family is the earliest group, and the corpse qi that has been accumulated for two hundred years must be different.
Almost, let's go meet this old friend later. ”
Rumble!
The lid of the coffin, which weighed 100 catties, exploded directly with a burst of black gas.
The two-meter-tall "corpse" falls to the ground in an upright manner, with its arms raised horizontally...... This image is almost like a [zombie] in the movie.
