Chapter 55: Turning a Corpse into a Man
The blueness on the doctor's face gradually faded, and I felt a little relieved, but I still asked, "Doctor, how are you feeling?" ”
"I'm fine, I feel better!" The doctor let out a breath of turbid air and stood up from the ground, and at this time I saw a faint red light also appear outside of him, blocking out the lunar halo emitted by the demon moon.
I was curious, so I asked the old man, "Uncle, what the hell is going on?" ”
At this time, the remaining corpses behind us have all been out of control, the corpse charm has been burned, not to mention that there are still more than a hundred or so corpses that have not been sent away, hundreds of zombies are looking up at the demon moon in the sky that emits a strange green light, and the black gas is filled between breaths, which looks extremely weird.
The old man looked at the group of corpses worshipping the moon and sighed, "That's it, everything that can be sent away has been sent away, and the rest can only be desperate." After speaking, he looked at me with complicated eyes, shook his head, and said: "This is the confusing moon, the moon condenses the essence of yin qi, communicates with the underworld, the living person absorbs its moon essence and the yang energy is damaged, and the dead person absorbs its moon essence and immediately transforms the corpse, if the corpse absorbs the moon essence, the corpse qi will skyrocket, the strength will soar, and the resentment remaining in the corpse will also be infinitely amplified, affecting its behavior and making it a corpse demon." ”
"Right now, the out-of-control corpses are worshipping the moon and absorbing the moon spirit, and the green mist condensed above their heads is formed by the moonlight, and the corpses inhale the moon essence and transform it into corpse qi, and their strength will skyrocket, and when they are completely transformed into corpse demons, their ferocity is indescribable, and everyone will be killed at that time."
The old man's words surprised me, and I hurriedly asked, "So, what should I do then?" Is there a way to stop them? ”
"Yes, send them across the stone bridge before they turn into corpses, and things will turn around!" At this time, the old man's expression had calmed down, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, seeing him so calm, I was also infected, and my anxious mood calmed down.
I asked him, "Uncle, tell me, what should we do?" ”
But what I didn't expect was that the old man shook his head and spit out two words very indifferently: "Wait!" ”
"Waiting? But didn't you say that they won't be saved after they absorb enough moon spirits and turn into corpse demons, why are you still waiting, you see that the first few corpses that got out of control are about to wake up, and there is no time! I said anxiously, but the old man turned a deaf ear, and simply put his hands behind his back, but his eyes were fixed on the corpses that were about to wake up.
The doctor patted me and shook his head at me, meaning that I should stop asking, that what should come is always coming, and asking will not change anything. I had no choice but to give up, and the thought of having to deal with so many corpses suddenly made me very nervous.
After waiting for a few more minutes, the demon moon in the sky became brighter and brighter, and the green mist shrouded in the heads of the corpses became more and more condensed, while the corpses were slowly filled with black mist, which was all corpse gas spewed out of the corpses' mouths, which looked very eerie and terrifying at a glance.
Just when my heart was in my throat, the old man who had been staring at the corpse with his back suddenly said: "Here, you two are ready, the old man will contain those demon corpses later, and you take the opportunity to send the remaining corpses across the stone bridge, the speed must be fast." ”
I was stunned and asked me and the doctor to send the body over? Damn, these are all out-of-control zombies, send them over, how do you send them?
Just when I was embarrassed, the four corpses that showed signs of awakening suddenly grew green hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the longer and longer, the longer and longer, and soon the corpse became a long-haired monster, its fangs skyrocketed to two or three inches long, and a pair of eyes glowed with green, and their eyes were full of violent and bloodthirsty fierce light, which looked disgusting and terrifying.
I was immediately stunned, and said in my heart, is this a corpse demon, damn it, this is clearly a gorilla with extended hair!
The four corpses finally absorbed enough moon essence to wake up from the moon worship state, and the eyes glowing with green glow swept over the three of us, and I couldn't help but feel a spirit, and the eyes of this damn corpse demon seemed to be wise.
Before I could react from the shock, the four corpses had already attacked, and what made my scalp tingle was that their goals were surprisingly consistent, and they were all aimed at me. In a flash, they ran towards me at a very fast speed, yes, they ran, they actually ran over.
I was dumbfounded in an instant, I only heard the Taoist priest say that there is a kind of corpse called a demon corpse, but I haven't heard him talk about corpse demons, and I don't know if this corpse demon is a kind of demon corpse, but they are indeed different from ordinary zombies.
The so-called zombies, in fact, are stiff corpses after death, but because of various coincidences or mysterious external forces to regain an alternative life, although they can act, but the dead corpse is always a dead corpse, even if they are resurrected again, their bodies are extremely stiff, only the joints can still move, and the walking corpse is different. The walking corpse is a person who died after being poisoned by a real zombie, because he just died, so his body has not yet ossified, which is why most of the zombie actions are rigid and rigid, and they can only move by jumping, while the walking corpse can move freely.
I heard from the Taoist priest that after a zombie becomes a sperm, its stiff body will change, and it can also walk around like a walking corpse, but zombies that become sperm are extremely rare, and if they simply absorb yin qi, it will be difficult to form even if they evolve for hundreds of years. Therefore, the adult zombies that have appeared in the world from ancient times to the present are basically formed after absorbing the essence of countless living people, and where there are adult zombies, most of them are bleeding like rivers, and it is possible that the entire village will be destroyed.
Because there are too many killings created, it is naturally impossible for the Xuanmen to let it go, so the zombies that are really recorded in the world are very rare.
At the moment, these four corpse demons, they move freely, their arrows are flying, and there is a little stiffness. As I froze, the four corpses were already less than a foot away from me, and I didn't even react to dodge, or they were so fast that I couldn't dodge them.
Just when I felt a chill in my heart, and thought I was going to be finished, I heard the old man burst out, and before the doctor could react, he waved his hand and threw a large handful of triangular yellow things at me, and as soon as the thing flew in front of me, four corpses rushed up and hit the triangular things.
A magical scene happened, those seemingly inconspicuous small triangles erupted into brilliant flames the moment they touched the corpse demon's body, one by one, instantly igniting the green hair on the corpse demon's body.
The corpse screamed and took a few steps back, and the old man rushed up and shoved a roll into my hand. I looked down and found that it was a roll of red rope, and the head and tail of the rope were tied with a square hole copper coin, I didn't know what he meant, I was a little confused, so I heard him hurriedly say: "Cut the black thread on your hand, use blood to lead the rest of the corpses to the side of the bridge, hand over the red rope to your friend, it will guide you back, four corpse demons I can hold back at most a quarter of an hour, and a few more we will be finished." ”
As he spoke, he pushed me out, and at some point there was an extra black and shiny wooden sword in his hand, and he met the four corpses head-on.
A series of accidents made me feel a little swollen, and the old man's words made me feel even more shocked, the curse of doom on my body was the source of all evil, but after the trip to my hometown, the curse was temporarily suppressed by the underworld, but all this is only known to a few people such as Taoist priests and grandmothers, how did this old man know?
My heart was in turmoil, but this was not the time to think about this, the flames on the corpse demon's body had been extinguished at this time, such a terrible flame, it only burned some hairs, and these hairs quickly grew back under the nourishment of the Confusing Moon Essence. The corpse's gaze was still on me, its eyes full of greed, as if it wanted to swallow me immediately.
After extinguishing the flames on his body, the corpse demon tried to attack me, but was slashed back by the black wooden sword in the old man's hand. The wooden sword is not an extraordinary thing, every time it hits the corpse demon, the hair on the corpse demon's body will be cut off a large part, black smoke will emit, and the place where it is cut will also leave a black wound with black gas, no matter how the moon spirit repairs it, it will not heal.
The corpse demon was very jealous of this, and was forced aside by the old man.
Watching the two sides slowly move away, I know that this is the opportunity for the old man to fight for us, don't look at him now that he has the upper hand, but the corpse demon can't be killed at all, and the old man is already old, and when he is exhausted, and if a new corpse demon appears, I and the doctor can't resist it at all, so we must seize the opportunity in front of us.
Thinking about it, I hurriedly handed the old man one end of the red thread to the doctor, and tied the other end to myself, and told him not to let go of the rope. After that, I lifted my sleeves, looked at the black lines on my arm separated by a golden light curtain composed of anti-evil runes, looked left and right, but found that there was no sharp thing on my body at all, and I wanted to ask the doctor for a dagger, but I thought that the dagger had been thrown out by him as a flying knife when I was in the inn just now, and I couldn't help but be helpless.
Seeing that more than a dozen corpses in the group of corpses began to show signs of awakening, my scalp exploded, looked at my hands, was ruthless, opened my mouth and bit down.
After all, it's still my own hand, and I still can't kill it, I bit it several times, and finally bit open, and the tears are already in pain.
The mouth happened to open on a hideous black line, and the moment the blood spilled, I found that the light curtain composed of the evil suppression spell protected on my arm suddenly collapsed, and at the same time, all the zombies who were worshipping the moon looked at me in unison, and then the corpses began to move.
They jumped at me frantically, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that they were still jumping instead of running, and it seemed that none of them had changed into corpses. I was prepared for the reaction of the corpses, and I had already rushed to the bridge before they could make a move, so even though the zombies jumped at an incredible speed, they still couldn't catch up with me for a while.
I walked up to the stone bridge, looked at the tide of corpses, felt my scalp tingle, and looked at the dark sky behind me, and always felt that the stone bridge had become a little different from before, and there was great danger at both ends. However, I have come to this point, and I have no way back, so I can only hope that the red rope will really bring me back at that time.
The corpses soon poured onto the stone bridge, and I stepped back step by step, watching at least a dozen zombies rush onto the stone bridge, and then I gritted my teeth and stepped across the center of the stone bridge.
I went through the spatial cycle on my stone bridge, and I knew that when I went in, I would see a lot of incredibly distorted images, but this cycle would not be harmful to people, as long as I kept moving forward, and after a certain amount of time, I could walk back again.
However, after crossing the center of the bridge this time, I did not feel any discomfort, and the picture in front of me was not distorted in the slightest, after crossing the center of the bridge, it was still a stone bridge, but on the other side of the stone bridge was a scorched earth that had been burned by fire, judging from the remains of the building, this seemed to be a small town.
I didn't expect to cross the center of the stone bridge and naturally reach the other side of the stone bridge, and I didn't expect that the place we passed when we came would turn into a scorched earth of ruins. But how could there be such a ruin here?
I couldn't figure it out anyway, so I looked back at the doctor and asked him to come and have a look, but what I saw was still a huge black sky, the stone bridge was still the same, but there was only the other half of the stone bridge and the empty darkness on the other side. A zombie followed me through the heart of the stone bridge and reached this side, and I was horrified to see the corpses rushing towards me, and before I knew it, I actually exited the stone bridge and stepped on the scorched earth.
After taking a few steps back, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, the zombies who had crossed the bridge had completely changed their appearance, the fangs at the corners of their mouths had disappeared, the nails on their hands had disappeared, and even the way they traveled had become normal walking.
I watched all this in amazement, I couldn't believe my eyes, these zombies seemed to have become human again!
The zombies in the heart of the bridge did completely lose all the characteristics of zombies, but I still felt very strange, and even a sense of familiarity arose, these people, I seem to have seen them somewhere.
At the thought of it, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly remembered where this familiarity came from, townspeople, townspeople! His mother's familiarity was not that I knew one of these people, but that these people were dull and wooden, exactly like the townsfolk we had met in the town during the day!
Their faces were blue and dark, but they were not particularly obvious, their eyes were dull, their pupils seemed to be unfocused, and they walked forward automatically, even unaware of the me, and walked slowly into the ruins.
Just when I was puzzled, among the crowd who walked off the stone bridge, a face that I was extremely familiar with suddenly appeared, and I froze for a moment, that ...... Isn't that a noodle stall owner?
