Chapter 817: Fraudulent Corpse
I don't know if it's the old wolf's stable mood, or the heavy shotgun on his back that gave him courage, Lin Xiao felt that in fact, the forest at night was not as terrible as he imagined.
In silence, Lin Xiao followed the old wolf to stop and go, and soon came to a low-lying place, the low-lying in front of him was a large swamp, and through the old Lin Xiao, he could smell the kind of sour smell unique to the rainforest, where the branches and leaves were soaked and fermented by silt.
The old wolf's sense of smell seemed to be affected by this sour smell, and for a moment he seemed a little overwhelmed, and he went around the edge of the swamp for a long time, but he could not find the right way forward.
It seems that being able to bring himself here is already the limit of the old wolf! Lin Xiao knew that the next road might have to rely on himself!
"Old fellow, follow me, don't run around!" Lin Xiao said to the old wolf.
The old wolf was very smart, and it was able to understand most of Lin Xiao's commands, which obviously included this sentence.
Honestly following behind Lin Xiao, the old wolf was quite secretive about that swamp.
After going around the low-lying forest area where the swamp is located, Lin Xiao did not find any traces of human beings passing by, or Bodu, could it be that there was a problem with the road led by the old wolf?
Just as Lin Xiao was pondering, a disjointed sound, like mucus swirling in his throat, came out of the swamp.
Lin Xiao's face tightened, and he hurriedly tied the old wolf around his waist with a rope, and then climbed a big tree three times and two times, fixed himself and the old wolf on a thick branch, and carefully looked at the swamp below through the branches and leaves, using the moonlight that had just risen.
As the disjointed sound rang out, there was a fluttering sound around them, like someone wading through the mud in the swamp.
Immediately after, the sound like mucus swirling in his throat became more and more, and it became louder and louder, and with the faint moonlight, Lin Xiao saw one head after another raised in the swamp.
But to his horror, the heads were so rotten that they looked like they had been soaked in the swamp for at least months!
Could it be that this virus can not only infect the living, but also make the dead scam the corpses?
Lin Xiao thought of this, there was no time to study the source of the corpses in the swamp, he just wanted to know where these guys were going after crawling out of the swamp!
It was also at this time that Lin Xiao suddenly remembered a guess Athena had made in the interstellar direction, if the original strain of the virus was artificially dropped, then the forces or individuals who released the original strain of the virus must have a way to control or affect the direction of the corpse group, and this also means a huge conspiracy that envelops the entire planet!
At that time, he didn't think much of it, and always felt that this kind of anti-natural virus was unlikely to be the product of the human research laboratory, but now he felt that he believed it!
Because these guys who crawled out of the swamp, apparently summoned by some kind of signal, they crawled out of the swamp slowly, and then stood densely on the shore to form a group, and when the last zombie climbed ashore, they all made that always whimpering sound, and staggered away in one direction.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao decided to follow and take a look, and by the way, study how far away this zombie's perception distance was.
Sliding down from the tree with the old wolf, Lin Xiao carefully hung more than a hundred meters behind the corpses, this distance is really not too close, especially under the staggered ancient trees of the forest, there is no zombie figure in sight.
If it weren't for those guys who were still making noises, Lin Xiao would have been worried that he would have lost it.
Following the sound all the way forward, Lin Xiao almost exclaimed after turning over a small high ground!
What did he see?! In front of me is a large area, hundreds of square meters of open space! This clearing was completely shrouded in the light of the moon, and the miserable white moonlight was scattered on the ground, and Lin Xiao could see the roots of ancient trees that had been sawn off one by one, which were all ancient trees as thick as buckets, and protected plants that had grown in this forest for at least a hundred years!
Immediately, Lin Xiao realized another problem, these trees obviously would not have been cut down by the forest rangers, but if they were stolen, how could the trunks of ancient trees dozens of meters long and the thickness of buckets be transported out?
When Lin Xiao was puzzled, the surrounding atmosphere changed!
But for a while, he couldn't tell what kind of changes had happened, but he felt that those zombies who were screaming and screaming were quiet for a moment!
Inadvertently raising his head, Lin Xiao found that the moon had unconsciously risen to the highest place. When the area seemed to be silent, the moonlight hung high, and he felt that the air was going to be still!
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, this feeling was very unusual, now he couldn't hear the cries of beasts or the bunch of zombies in front of him, and some only had the chirping of insects, but it was very faint, as if it had been suppressed by something......
Looking at the sky again, it was the first time he had looked at the moon in the sky so closely, for so long, and in his eyes the moon was getting bigger and bigger, and he could see the spots and holes on it......
What a clear moon! Lin Xiao subconsciously sighed, he felt that the moon that was ordinary in the past seemed to be full of a kind of magic, attracting his attention, just looking at the moon so deadly, he couldn't move it.
Until the whole moon took over his field of vision, and suddenly the moment his heart suddenly beats, it seemed to turn red!
That's right, red! The moon turned red!
"Old guy, do you see if this moon is ......" Lin Xiao patted the head of the old wolf next to him, and before he finished speaking, he felt that the old wolf was wrong.
Rubbing his numb eyes looking at the moon, Lin Xiao looked down at the old wolf squatting next to him, he even suspected that the old wolf was like being turned into stone by the gaze of the legendary Queen Medusa, just squatting quietly, his hairless head held high, and his green eyes stared at the blood moon!
Vaguely, Lin Xiao thought of something, the surroundings seemed to be too quiet, surprisingly quiet, could it be that these zombies would also rest at night?
Yes, the low roar of the zombies coming out of their throats, and the sound of the sporadic footsteps dragging their movements, all of them were gone!
Lin Xiao didn't bother the old wolf, and tiptoed towards a big tree at the top of the highland.
Slowing down his movements as much as possible, Lin Xiao climbed the big tree that was more than twenty meters tall and looked towards the clearing below. When he saw everything in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide!
They...... They were like old wolves, staying there quietly, all ...... All, all the zombies turned out to be still, only the breeze shook their clothes. The humidity rises in the forest, and the blood-red moon shines on it, all of this is so bizarre and weird in the first place!
Lin Xiao looked at the entire clearing in disbelief, and the result was the same, they moved in unison, making a strange move......
Looking up and squinting forty-five degrees, he stood in place, just letting the mist fill the surroundings, staring at the huge, red moon......
"The red moon? But why are they staring at the moon? Lin Xiao muttered in a low voice.
This scene was too weird, and it also made Lin Xiao unbelievable, could it be that these zombies were like some cult members, worshipping the moon and praying for the moon to give them power?
The surprise in his heart gradually piled up, Lin Xiao broke a branch from the trunk of the tree and threw it towards a zombie who was competing with him.
The branch hit the zombie's head accurately, but the zombie didn't react at all, as if the soul had been sucked away by the moon, and the rest was a shell!
A few more branches were broken and smashed at different zombies, Lin Xiao's eyes couldn't help but light up, these guys were completely motionless! Even if you are poked in the rotten flesh of your face by a branch, you don't react!
Lin Xiao slid down from the tree, he cautiously walked towards the clearing, holding *** in his hand, and neatly cut off the heads of several zombies.
It was only at this time that Lin Xiao was sure that in this blood moon state, these zombies were as if they had been immobilized, even if you cut off his head, the zombies next to them would not move at all!
Just when Lin Xiao was pondering whether to take this opportunity to clean up all the zombies around him, a slight but very clear knock sound came into Lin Xiao's ears.
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, Lin Xiao was immediately ecstatic!
He saw a wooden house hidden under a few big trees, through the window of the wooden house, Lin Xiao could see a bright light, it was a kerosene light, dim, beating light!
And the sound of knock knock, Lin Xiao is more familiar! Isn't that the sound of a hammer hitting wood?!
After calculating the distance, it only takes less than three minutes to run in a straight line from himself to the wooden house, but the straight line distance is full of zombies, and it will take at least fifteen minutes to get around this open space.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, anyway, these zombies are only looking at the moon at this time, where can they take care of themselves?
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao also lit a cigarette and hung it in his mouth, thinking that even if there was an accident, he would be able to take another puff before he died, right?
Walking through the zombie group, Lin Xiao once annoyed that his strength was weak, if he had four-star strength, let alone the low-level zombies in front of him, even if there were the same number, he was not afraid of the zombies that the star-level powerhouses on the interstellar defense line had become!
Thinking of his previous strength, Lin Xiao was a little stunned, he was not afraid that he had not possessed it, he was afraid that he had it, but he had lost it again, there was no way to verify where these words came from, but this did not prevent Lin Xiao from feeling that this was simply his mother's truth!
With such cranky effort, Lin Xiao had already walked forward for a thousand meters, and there were only less than eight hundred meters left from the wooden house!
The zombies around them were still that virtuous, standing dumbfounded, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.
