Chapter 21: The Ghost of the Stone Stele

I was just about to leave, when I suddenly saw a corpse not far away move, as if it was not dead, and my heart couldn't help but tighten, and my first thought was to find a weapon.

Less than a meter beside me, there was a dead man with a shotgun in his hand. I hurriedly picked up the gun, and by the way, ripped off the bag of bullets that hung from his waist. This kind of shotgun has to be loaded every time, and at this time the bullets in the gun have been gone, I took out a few bullets and squeezed them in my hand, and just wanted to load, suddenly I saw that the dead man I took the shotgun actually moved.

This scene frightened me so much that I hurriedly jumped away, and with a sweep of my eyes, I found that all the dead people had moved, and they staggered and crawled up, as if they were not dead.

I hurriedly loaded my bullet and pulled the bolt, raised my gun and aimed it at the person closest to me, and warned: "Don't move, or I'll shoot!" ”

The man didn't seem to hear my threat, and staggered to his feet in front of me. I found that the position of this person's heart was completely pierced by the strange bird, and through the hole of the big fist, I could even see the fire on the opposite side, and I couldn't help but be shocked, such a wound, even if the gods were afraid to hang up, this person was not dead yet?

No, there is a strange thing, I thought to myself, turned my head to look at the others, and found that everyone's wounds were fatal, and it was impossible to survive, and there was even a guy whose head was poked out, and he still 'lived'.

Damn, cheat the corpse! I was about to run, but suddenly I found that these corpses had surrounded me in front of the stone monument, and there was no way to escape! At the same time, the corpses seemed to have completed all their changes, their pupils turned gray, and they all looked at me.

What's even more bizarre is that in a very short period of time, I saw a large amount of green mucus secreted from the wounds of these people penetrated by the strange bird, which was very similar to the saliva of the strange bird, and I was terribly disgusting. The mucus quickly filled the wounds of the corpses, and at the same time, blisters began to appear on the faces and the rest of the skin, as if they were swollen, and I could see a chill on my back.

Now, I finally know where those monsters in the town came from, not zombies, not some bullshit ghosts, but the strange birds! I suddenly remembered a classic zombie movie, it seems that those strange birds carry some kind of virus that can mutate corpses, damn me, where did these strange birds come from?

Reality didn't allow me to continue thinking, and after the mucus filled the wounds of the corpses, the corpses completely turned into the monsters of the town, the only difference was that the blisters on these people had not yet suppurated, and they didn't look so disgusting, but they were just as creepy. They rushed towards me frantically, with great speed and agility, not at all like the walking corpses in Aji Village.

I hurriedly raised my gun and shot one away, and the green slime splattered all over the ground, but more monsters rushed up around me. I reloaded my bullets and stepped back, and after only two shots, I was already forced under the stone monument with my back against it.

The stele was stained with my blood, and it was sticky. I saw that it was useless to fight, and I wanted to run but was surrounded, and my only hope was to climb to the stone monument, which was three meters high, and these monsters would not be able to climb up!

Thinking about it, I hurriedly put the gun behind my back, and just wanted to climb up, but I found that the blood stains on the stele had formed a hideous grimace at some point. I shuddered, the grimace was very similar to the mask worn by the masked man and the grimace I had seen on the stele at first, and before I could react, I felt the stele vibrate, as if it was about to fall, and then suddenly seven or eight python-like things sprang out from behind the stele, rolling up all the monsters that had rushed in front of me, and dragging them behind the boulder.

It all happened in a split second, and looking at the empty mudflats in front of me, I suddenly had a feeling of unreality, as if everything was a dream. Those python-like things were very similar to the vamphimore vines, and I hurriedly went around to the back of the stone monument, trying to find the ghost vines and those monsters, but found that the stone monument was empty and there was nothing.

When I turned back to the stele, I found that the ghost face on the stele and the blood stains had disappeared.

The stele looked a little strange in the light of the remnants of the bonfire, and I really couldn't stay in this place for a moment, so I packed my bags and walked up the river.

The reason why I went upstream was because the meeting place agreed with the Taoist priest was a tower near the river on the west side of the basin, and the Taoist priest also ran upstream, so now I can't judge my position, so I can only walk along the river, and maybe I can meet the Taoist priest. However, the chances of me encountering those crazy townsfolk are also relatively much higher, after all, only about half of the people who went after the Taoist priest have returned, and the other half will still be searching.

After having concerns, in addition to loading the gun with bullets, I also walked extra carefully, always paying attention to the movements around me. Soon, the night began to fade, I looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, it stands to reason that the sky should have been fully lit at this time, but because Fengyang is located in the basin, the surrounding peaks are frighteningly high, blocking the sun, this is a little late.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the sky was completely bright, and my tense nerves relaxed with the light, and for a while, the weakness of blood loss and the pain of my body made my steps extremely heavy. I couldn't walk anymore, and my strength needed to be replenished, so I found a thick bush by the river and got into it, and after some camouflage, I lay down on the mat made of dry grass, and never wanted to move again.

After a short break, I pulled out the jerky from my backpack (the jerky was divided into three parts when the supplies were distributed, and each one carried it with him) and ate it. Because the taste of this jerky is already good, and I haven't eaten anything since I left Aji Village, so now I eat it very deliciously. I had just eaten a few bites when I suddenly heard movement around me, so I stopped and listened intently, and found that someone seemed to be stirring the grass nearby.

Startled, I grabbed my shotgun and quietly pushed away the weeds to look in the direction from which the sound came. Five or six meters away from me, the weeds kept shaking, and then a girl with an iron rod in her hand came out of the bushes.

I was stunned the moment I saw the girl, last night through the night vision function of the camera, I probably saw the girl's face clearly, although it was not too clear, but I could still tell it, the girl in front of me, wasn't it the girl who attacked the Taoist priest last night?

I don't know why the girl is here, but instinct tells me that we may have been followed last night. Seeing that she had been rummaging through the grass, I was even more sure of this suspicion, and seeing that she was about to come to my side, I decided to strike first, and stood up sharply with my gun: "Don't move! ”

She was startled by me and turned around to run, but I hurriedly shouted, "I'll shoot if I run again!" She stopped, turned to look at me in horror.

To be honest, this girl is very beautiful, at least she has a fight with Lin Qiaoer, and she looks like she is about seventeen or eighteen years old. I saw that she looked flustered, obviously frightened by me, there seemed to be tears rolling in her eyes, my heart softened, I lowered my voice and said as gently as possible: "Don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to know why you follow me?" ”

Hearing me say this, she showed a surprised look on her face, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know that I am following you?" ”

I smiled, didn't explain to her, and continued, "You don't have to worry about this, you just have to answer my question." ”

The girl looked at the gun in my hand and didn't speak, I hurriedly put the gun down, and then she said, "Since you know that I followed you, you should also know that I saved you just now?" ”

"What, you saved me?" I was taken aback and hurriedly asked her what was the matter.

She looked at me suspiciously, and then told the truth. It turned out that after I was arrested last night, it was she who attracted those strange birds, which helped me escape from the desperate situation. I always thought that the arrival of those strange birds was just a coincidence, but I really didn't expect her to help me, but why did she save me? And how did she know that those strange birds wouldn't attack me?

I asked the question, but I saw her pout, and then said, "You don't look like a bad person, and you saved Xiaosha, so I'm even more sure that you're not a bad person." Besides, you were tied up at the time and couldn't move at all, and those strange birds only attacked things that moved, so you were safe, but I didn't expect that those bad guys would turn into the living dead after being bitten by strange birds. As she spoke, she looked at me carefully, and when she saw that I didn't blame her, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Fortunately, you are lucky, I saw that after you left, I continued to follow you, because I think you can help me!" ”

"Help? What do you want me to do for you? I asked, half convinced by her words.

She shook her head, said no, and then looked behind me and asked if I had anything to eat.

We hid in the grass, I gave her half of the jerky, and she immediately devoured it, like a wolf who hadn't eaten for ten days and half a month, and when she found out that I was staring at her in surprise, she showed an embarrassed expression, saying that the things at home had already been eaten, and she hadn't eaten for almost two days. I hurriedly gave her some more of my jerky, and she looked at me gratefully, and then went on eating.

After eating and drinking, I started asking her some questions, and of course, she asked me too. Most of the questions I asked were about the town and her, and most of the questions she asked were about us.

From the conversation with the girl, I learned a lot about it, such as the girl's name. Actually, I could have known for a long time, but I didn't have time to read the rest of the diary, and then the diary was put in her backpack by Lin Qiao'er, and I forgot it.
