Chapter 202: Hello, Zalin

"My name is in the mountains and forests." Lin Zaishan introduced himself in not very proficient English.

"Zha Lin?" Seeing the other party's words, Durt immediately dispelled his fear of the mermaid, "Zha Lin is a good name. He turned around and instructed his younger brothers: "Rinse this Asian with seawater a hundred times and put it in a cage!" ”

"Boss, why don't we just put him in the oil pot?" Joey asked.

"We've been stuck on this island since the meteorite exploded, with no knowledge of the outside world. If I continue like this, I will become an indigenous person completely. This Asian must have come from far away, and I would love to know from his mouth what the outside world is like. ”

"Why don't you interrogate him directly? I'm sure his mouth won't be tight in front of a shotgun. ”

"Idiot! This Asian man has just been born from the belly of a behemoth, and who can guarantee that there is no deadly virus in him? It is still more clean and hygienic to air dry in the cage for a few days. ”

"Boss, you're really thoughtful!"

", I'm a top graduate of Falkfield Prison."

Lin Zaishan was stuffed into a cage and hoisted high. He said to the two 2-meter-tall strong men, "Dude, can you give me a crystal?" All you need is 1 first-class crystal. ”

"Shut up and fuck yourself." The strong man Ted decisively replied with a refusal.

Lin Zaishan sighed helplessly.

In the past, he had suffered a lot. The curse particles that Elder 12 of the Templars had injected into him were devouring his vibrations every day, causing immense pain. He tried to remove the particles several times, but whenever the life energy he emitted increased beyond the normal level of a normal person, the particles would automatically absorb the excess energy and curb his body's activities; If he forcibly resists, the loss of energy will be exacerbated accordingly, accompanied by unbearable pain.

Lin Zaishan tried all kinds of means, but he couldn't break through the shackles of the cursed particles.

The words left for him by the Templar Elder kept lingering in his mind: "The host is immortal, and the curse is immortal." "It seems that it is only after his death as a host that these cursed particles can be eliminated.

In this way, in the endless torture, Lin Zaishan was rapidly weakened, and his strong body became skinny due to excessive energy consumption. He wanted to cut himself off many times, but the concern for Ye Jingying, He Annie, Wu Chaoqun and others made him dispel his thoughts.

"I will never give in! I don't believe that wisdom and righteousness can resist the curse of evil! ”

Lin Zaishan mustered up the courage to continue to work hard.

Just when he thought he was miserable and desperate, another great threat came. The magnitude of the threat is fairly straightforward – fishing boats are now sailing into the depths of the Pacific Ocean, and the sea is full of super-monsters of astonishing size. From time to time, these monsters would burst out of the sea to devour other living creatures, and bite each other. At first, they didn't care about fishing boats; But Lin Zaishan's struggle on the fishing boat alarmed them, and some monsters began to tentatively gnaw on the fishing boat.

"I'll go! Even if the cursed particles devoured the life energy, now they have to be devoured by the fish monster. Do I need a soul state to survive? ”

Seeing the cave-like bloody mouth of the fish monster through the windshield made Lin Zaishan feel creepy. "If this is swallowed, I guess I will be treated as a three-bedroom apartment in the belly of the fish monster. From now on, I am a parasite in the belly of the fish monster, and the fish monster is my host. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Zaishan suddenly had a bold idea, "Didn't you say that the host is immortal and the curse is immortal?" If I'm no longer the host or the only host of these particles, will they automatically move away from my body? ”

The fish monster, which was as strong as a hill in the sea, probably realized that the fishing boat was not an organism, and the living creatures on the fishing boat were not even enough to stuff their teeth, so they decided to turn around and leave.

Lin Zaishan made a decision in an instant, desperate to increase his energy output, and finally broke free from the special chains on his body, then picked up a hard object, rushed out of the cockpit, climbed to the top of the ship with great difficulty, and threw it at the fish monster that was about to go away.

The physical damage of this throwing attack was negligible, but it was enough to anger the fish monster, which had never succumbed to the opponent's provocation, which immediately sped up and crashed into it with a cave-like jaw.

Lin Zaishan burst out of his last energy reserves, jumped straight into the fish monster's mouth, and narrowly avoided the teeth and the many restless tentacles on the digestive tract, breaking into the fish monster's stomach.

At this point, his life was in danger, and before he lost consciousness completely, he switched to a vegetative state, attached to the wall of the fish monster's visceral cavity, and automatically began to absorb life energy.

The infusion of new energy once again strengthened Lin Zaishan's body vitality, but also made the curse particles more active. Lin Zaishan had to find ways to minimize his life activities. After countless trials, he was finally able to use his plant abilities to enter a state of suspended animation with few obvious signs of life activity.

His life support at this time is completely dependent on the fish monster, in other words, he becomes a host, and the fish monster becomes his host. This state of affairs goes on for a long time.

The change in the status of the food chain tampered with the target of the cursed host, and the cursed particles eventually transferred to the fish monster, which began to desperately devour the fish monster's life energy.

The fish monster, which has low intelligence and lacks self-control, soon wears up. It died at the beginning of the recovery process in the forest. The death of the fish monster fulfilled the intended consequences of the curse, and the cursed particles were immediately eliminated.

And the weakened Lin Zaishan had no ability to break out of his belly at all, and was forced to drift with the storm to St. Carter Island on the west coast of the United States, and fell into the hands of Durt and other thugs.

//////

Rob and a few other coolies were driven out of the basement, and Martin's body was lifted out and thrown to the side of the island with a tall, sturdy wall built at the back of the house.

Outside the walls are more than 300 zombies waiting for you. Before Martin's body hit the ground, the zombies surrounded him and ate Martin to the bones in only half a minute.

Due to the small size of St. Carter Island, the population and survivors are relatively limited, and it is difficult for the zombies on the island to eat a "full meal", so they generally have poor evolutionary status, and their body size is far less tall and strong than the zombies on the mainland. The highest known zombies on the island are only level 4, and they are very few in number, and they are blocked by hills, jungles, and fortifications near the harbor north of the island, where there are dense buildings and a rat nest, and the zombies can occasionally catch small, low-level mutant rats to feed their hunger.

The shallow waters of the harbor are teeming with aquatic animals, which swim in groups, swim at great speeds, and are ferocious, and zombies that try to enter the water to prey on these animals are often reduced to food on their own.

The total number of survivors on the island is currently about 70, and in control are former parolee Durt and his mob of 15, who have the only remaining firearms and ammunition on the island; The remaining 50 or so were forcibly imprisoned by the Durt gang as coolies or slaves, forced to do heavy labor during the day and often abused at night, living a life of hunger and exhaustion.

In order to avoid the attack of the corpses, the survivors moved from the more prosperous harbor in the north to a few private houses in the southwest, relying on the advantages of the terrain, and built strong fortifications to block the corpses; But at the same time, it also completely isolates itself from the north. Neither the Durt gang nor the coolies dared to operate in the limited space of the southwest, and no one dared to venture over the ridge to the north.

The tall fence is the dividing line between the safe zone and the danger zone, and leaving the wall means being in a terrifying trap of zombies besieging and biting. Temporary security can only be ensured by staying within the walls. Of course, security is primarily for the dominant Durt; For the more than 50 coolies (and there were many more), even if they didn't die in the jaws of zombies or fish monsters, Martin is a prime example.

Although Durt and others were high, due to the overall lack of material resources, their lives were not comfortable, and the torture of coolies became their daily rare enjoyment and repertoire. Durt has been contemplating crossing the narrow strait to the opposite continent to develop, and once ashore is the bustling and wonderful world-famous city of Los Angeles. There are not only high-rise buildings, the Avenue of Stars, but also endless facilities and various resources, celebrities and beauties everywhere, peerless luxury cars running everywhere, the world's most luxurious private villas and the most luxurious hotels, as well as a variety of luxury and entertainment venues that the dicks never dreamed of. It can be said that in the eyes of criminals like Durt, Los Angeles in the last days is almost synonymous with heaven.

Paradise is just across the water, but no one on the island can reach it. In the past time, hundreds of survivors have tried to cross the sea by boat, but unfortunately few ships have been able to work properly, and the conch that was finally repaired was overturned by the monsters in the sea just a few hundred meters away, and more than 100 people on it all died tragically.

As time passed, the waters around the island became more dangerous and the creatures in the water became more vicious. When Durte had taken control of the island's sheriff two months earlier, he had sent a team of 30 men across the sea on a raft; Sure enough, the raft was easily overturned by a huge fish monster 500 meters away, and the people on it were swallowed up by the fish monster in just one bite, and the rest were not spared despite their best efforts to swim back.

Nautical miles are off-limits, as is most of the island. The closed and hard life not only destroys the coolies, but also consumes the humanity of thugs such as Durt, who become more and more tyrannical, and the torture and killing of coolies appear one after another. The treatment of Lin Zaishan in a cage can already be regarded as Durt's "benevolent" act.

//////

The skinny Lin Zaishan lay weakly in the cage like a wounded kitten. Anyone who sees it makes him feel uncomfortable, but he is actually enjoying the sunshine that he hasn't seen for days and the fresh air that is full of vitality. Both of these elements are what he desperately needs to restore his body at the moment; Of course, these two things alone are not enough, he is also desperately in need of food and crystals. One first-level crystal was of great significance to Lin Zaishan at this time, and the life energy it provided was enough to restore him to a certain amount of free movement. If he is free, he can go to the sea to hunt small fish, which will allow him to obtain more crystals and a hearty diet of highly nutritious meat. With the above things, he should be able to gradually get rid of the effects of the curse, and possibly even return to his peak state.

To the Durt gang, a first-class crystal is nothing, but they will not pay even a little toil and price to meet the needs of a coolie; What's more, they couldn't understand what Lin Zaishan, who was not very proficient in English, wanted.

Lin Zaishan was helplessly lying in a cage after his request was denied, and now he could only temporarily relieve his body's hunger and weakening by absorbing the vitality in the air.

Caroline passed under the tree, she looked up at Lin Zaishan in the cage with sympathetic eyes for a few seconds, and then continued to collect firewood in the woods. The rest of the 50 or so coolies were also pointed at gunpoint to do all kinds of chores. Today, the men's main job is to cut and dispose of the recovered fish monster carcasses, which are the best ingredients available on the island in recent months; The women were assigned to gather firewood, wild fruits, and wild vegetables.

Joanna approached Caroline and whispered, "I heard that the Asians in the cage were born from the belly of the fish monster, and the thugs called him Fishman or Zha Lin behind his back. ”

"Is this true?" Caroline was taken aback, and she secretly looked at Lin Zaishan again, "What a terrible experience and what an incredible miracle that such a thin person could survive in the belly of such a behemoth!" I can't even imagine what this Asian has been through. ”

"He doesn't look like he has much time."

"May the miracle of life happen to him again." Caroline gestured to her chest and prayed reverently for Lin Zaishan.

"Dr. Caroline, let's worry more about our own lives." Joanna reminded, "That devil has apparently taken a keen interest in you, and I guess he's definitely going to harass you lately." ”

Caroline glanced at Durt, who was carrying a rifle on the watchtower in the distance, sighed with hatred and fear, and said to herself: "Lord, you have taught us to be obedient and calm, and now how can I glorify your way in the face of wicked people and demons?" ”

At this time, Su Shan, who was ragged and covered in bruises, was carried by two thugs and thrown into the woods, "Little bitch, obediently collect firewood, or we will throw you to a third-level zombie!" ”

Susan leaned on the ground and groaned in pain. Caroline and Joanna hurried over and helped her up. Susan threw herself into Caroline's arms and cried bitterly.

"Bang", a thick crossbow bolt grazed the top of the head and nailed to the tree behind the three women.

A thug with a crossbow-bow reprimanded: "Bitches, get to work!" Now is not the time to put on a crying drama. If you could fucking please us like strip-dance-mothers, life would be much better than it is now! ”

The three women were immediately silenced.

//////

The harvesting of the fish monster's corpse completely attracted Durt's attention and interest, and he even forgot to harass Caroline and the others for a while.

"Boss, shall we give this Asian monkey in the cage a taste of some fish?"

"Joey, am I the kind of man and woman who would do such a thing? Do you worms think I'm weak and want to replace me? ”

"I swear, boss, you're absolutely vicious and bad to the bone, and there's nothing like a good guy inside and out, from beginning to end."

"You're wrong Joey, there's the only one in me who looks like a good person." Durt touched his crotch maliciously, "My North American rooster has been playing a gentleman for a few days, and if I let it go on like this, I can basically be selected as a model citizen of Los Angeles." ”

"Why don't I have my brothers bring the doctor and saint with me now?"

Durt was about to say yes when he suddenly heard a powerful and terrifying roar from outside the wall.

"There's a level 4 zombie coming!" A thug on duty at the fence shouted.

Most of the thugs immediately climbed up the fence behind to investigate, only to see a sturdy zombie more than 2 meters tall standing proudly among the corpses, looking up above the wall.

Level 4 zombies on the island are capable of jumping several meters high, but cannot step over the 12-meter-high wall. Durt and the others stood on the fence and teased the fourth-level zombies on the ground with various means.

Enraged, the Level 4 zombie lunged under the wall, slamming into the base of the wall. The walls were slammed, dust and dirt fell, but they remained strong.

"Give me the crossbow." Durt drove away the little brother who was guarding the wall, stood up himself, pulled the crossbow with all his might, and aimed at the fourth-level zombies who were unable to get past the wall.

"Whoosh, bang", the thick crossbow bolt was firmly nailed to the shoulder of the fourth-level zombie, and the fourth-level zombie was almost knocked down by the huge impact, but it stubbornly stood up straight and continued to hit the wall.

Durt cursed and aimed at the level 4 zombie again, the position of the large-crossbow was more suitable for long-range attacks, and there was no good angle to shoot at targets close to the wall.

Suddenly, a birdsong sounded in the distance, and several huge seabirds flew through the sky. A group of mutant rats on the ground who had come out to forage for food were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

The movement of the mutant rats attracted the corpses, and the fourth-level zombies led a group of zombie brothers to play the role of the volunteer black cat sheriff.

Durt fired another arrow at the Level 4 Zombie, but only hit a Level 2 zombie behind him.

“Fuck!” Doult loaded a crossbow bolt again, but this time not at zombies but at seabirds.

The seabird lightly dodged the flying bolts, and then swooped towards the station.

"Air defense warning! Everyone hurry up and hide. Durt shouted.

The thugs had already been experienced, and as soon as they were alerted, they immediately and skillfully hid indoors.

//////

The huge seabird circled over the private house and did not find any worthy targets, so it rushed to the nearby grove and began to attack Lin Zaishan in the cage.

The cage is welded with a very strong alloy, and although the seabirds have beaten it to deform, they can't help the forest inside.

"Brother Bird, there is such a big piece of fat on the beach that you don't eat, but you come to me for bad luck. Can't you see that I'm the unlucky guy who just suffered the curse? Although Lin Zaishan was weak, he teased the seabird unhurriedly.

Of course, the seabird would not follow Lin Zaishan's guidance, and it attacked the cage to no avail, and found Caroline and other coolies hiding in the bushes, so it pounced without hesitation.

Caroline and the others desperately dodged, and the seabirds rushed left and right in the dense, tall trees, chasing the crowd. Everyone is in danger.

"Sting", Caroline's clothes and skin were scratched by the claws of the seabird, revealing snow-white skin and blood.

Seabirds smell blood and become even crazier.

"Click", a tree with a thick bowl mouth was broken by a seabird, and the branch landed on the cage impartially.

"Thank goodness!" Lin Zaishan grabbed the green young leaves through the gap, and immediately used his plant ability to greedily absorb nutrients and energy.

Caroline screamed and tripped over the roots. Seabirds screamed and flew past. At this point, there were no trees between Caroline and the seabirds. The former is like a wounded little white rabbit that can fall into the hands of a bird of prey at any moment.

The moment the seabird's claws touched Caroline, Lin Zaishan exerted all his strength and briefly controlled a thick branch to block the seabird. All the trees within a radius of more than ten meters in the vicinity trembled at the same time in an instant, like an angry roar.

The seabirds were frightened and immediately fled.

//////

Caroline stood up in shock, picking up Joanna, who was already slumped to the ground, and Susan, who was covered in leaves. The three of them helped each other to the cage, and looked in amazement at Lin Zaishan who was greedily chewing on the branches like an old cow eating tender grass.

"Good afternoon, ladies!" Lin Zaishan freed his mouth and beckoned, the little energy he had just accumulated was used up again, and now he had to desperately "eat grass" to make up for it.

"What's your name?"

"My name is in the mountains and forests."

"Zarin, I don't know what you've been through; But I want to tell you that our kind people will support and sympathize with you. ”

Lin Zaishan stopped grazing, his eyes fell on Caroline, and said, "Thank you." ”

Joanna asked Caroline softly, "Don't you think this slag forest is a little weird and scary?" ”

"Nope. What I saw in his eyes was light and goodness. ”

"You are a saint, so everyone is a good person in your eyes." Su Shan reluctantly said, "One day you will suffer a big loss." Just think about people like Doorte. ”

At this time, Rob, Will, and Jimmy came over, and after greeting the safety of Caroline and the others, they stared curiously at Lin Zaishan in the cage and commented on it.

"Am I dazzled, or are we having something strange? This Asian man was actually eating leaves with relish. Will touched his fat belly.

Jimmy, who was already hungry, immediately plucked a handful of leaves and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then spit it out, "Can you eat this kind of thing?" ”

Lin Zaishan wiped the corners of his mouth, burped, and said to himself in English that he was not very proficient in: "It tastes great!" ”
