Chapter 8: The Corpse of the "Old Man".
Zhou Zimo tossed and turned in the ruins, rushing towards Miyue as fast as possible, the scorched black lines on the ground became less and less, Zhou Zimo thought to himself what information was this telling him?
By the time he had walked another kilometer, the traces of the ground were almost gone, and his speed had plummeted, and he had regained his vigilance and began to pass as far as he could through the shadows of the ruins.
Just as he was entering a tunnel covered by a collapsed wall, a face appeared in the shadows ahead, a rotten face!
The green skin on his face fell off, and all the bones were exposed from the nose down, and the black hole stared at Zhou Zimo who had just come in, almost scaring him to death!
He stepped back in a panic, and his right elbow slammed into the protruding rock, not only rubbing his hand with a bloody mark, but also knocking the stone flying.
Maybe it took too long to collapse here, or maybe it was the previous rain that played a lubricating role, and there was a sudden tooth-aching sound of stones rubbing in this small space, and wisps of dust fell from the gap like rain, and a second collapse was coming!
Zhou Zimo's heart sank, he couldn't care about the corpse, and hurriedly rushed out with a rolling belt, as soon as he went out with his front feet, he heard a loud bang, a large amount of dust was raised, and it swallowed him in an instant, and countless gravel splashed, hitting his back like a heart-wrenching pain!
"Ahem... Ahem! Zhou Zimo ran out of the dust in a panic, coughing uncontrollably, he turned back with palpitations, the passage just now had completely disappeared, and he only had to stay with the corpse that had been dead for an unknown amount of time.
Sitting on the ground, Zhou Zimo gasped, he couldn't help but feel weak for the rest of his life, what was going on? Who was that corpse?
In his panic, he didn't have time to look at it at all, and he couldn't go over to investigate it until at least the dust cleared.
After waiting for a while, the dust finally settled, and there was another ruin on the ground that was similar to the rest of the place, and he stepped forward cautiously, but the ruins were like a small mountain, completely burying the previous corpse underneath, and turning it into a natural tomb.
Zhou Zimo had no idea where to start, it was obviously unrealistic to move all the rubble and rubble away for inspection from top to bottom, and he didn't have so much time or energy, so he could only give up.
After resting for a while, he went on the road again, but he no longer dared to drill casually, he was frightened by the corpse, and if he encountered a landslide again, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death.
Zhou Zimo could only hide his figure as much as possible, turned a corner, and suddenly another corpse appeared in the sun!
This one is different from the guy just now, it is a dried corpse, as if all the bodily fluids in the body have evaporated, and the skin is dry against the bones, but they also have similarities, such as the mouth is wide open, and the eyes of the black hole are staring at the unknown direction, and even the skin is the same dark green.
It should be a zombie, after all, he has never seen a human with this kind of skin except for the dwarf with a green skin.
Zhou Zimo walked in front of it and was about to check it, when suddenly his body shook violently, although the corpse had no expression at all, Zhou Zimo could still see at a glance that the expression and movement of this corpse before death were exactly the same as the tens of thousands of corpses in the third underground living area of Red Maple!
Is this a human?! Zhou Zimo couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
He squatted down boldly, and gently poked the dried corpse with his index finger, which was hard like a steel plate, completely different from human skin, and it seemed that it was indeed a zombie......
Zhou Zimo frowned, how could this thing die here?
There are too many questions in his mind, and he doesn't have the heart to think about them anymore, so let's go, it's important to hurry!
Continue on the road, but who wants to start from where just now, the corpses that appeared in the ruins began to grow like a blowout, more and more. And they are all dried corpses, not only the movements are the same, but even the direction of lying down is the same!
It's clear what they're fleeing from before they die.
What is it that is so terrifying, even zombies have to run away, Zhou Zimo asked this question in his heart more than once, he did not stop to check, since these corpses are the same, there is no need to waste any more time.
Until that thing appeared - the Shadow Emperor! Or Li Miao!
All his former majesty and embarrassment had now vanished, and he lay on the ground so calmly, like a piece of garbage that had been discarded.
Zhou Zimo didn't recognize him at first sight, and thought it was an ordinary zombie corpse, but the next moment he realized that something was wrong, it didn't look like a dry corpse.
Curious, Zhou Zimo walked straight to it and took a closer look...... Li Miao!
This surprise is not trivial, Li Miao's memory in his mind is too deep, even if he becomes a monster, Zhou Zimo still recognizes it at a glance!
Why is his right hand gone? No, the monster's right wrist was empty, and the claw was gone.
Before the outbreak of the big battle at the north gate, the four children had been secretly let go by Li Yong, so that Zhou Zimo had no idea what was going on behind him.
After barely calming down, a trace of happiness suddenly flashed in Zhou Zimo's heart, Li Miao had brought him and his partners too much torture, but now he died here, and there was no one to collect the body, which was inevitably a kind of irony. In this troubled world, there is a crisis that a monster like him can't handle!
But Zhou Zimo didn't want to vent anything to this corpse anymore, he was already dead, and no matter how much he vented to the corpse, it was just useless.
But he still has a doubt, why didn't this Li Miao become a dry corpse when he died, Zhou Zimo raised his foot and stepped on the corpse's right arm hard, and he could clearly feel the elasticity of its skin.
"Poof......
Suddenly, the sound of liquid gushing out sounded, and Zhou Zimo found that it was an unknown liquid in Li Miao's body that was squirted out from the place where he was stepping!
The deep dark green liquid was mixed with pieces of black stuff, which was extremely disgusting, and I didn't know if it was Li Miao's blood.
"Grass! It's disgusting to be dead! Some of the liquid that squirted out splashed on Zhou Zimo's shoes, which was extremely sticky, which made him can't help but scold.
But Li Miao could no longer get up and sanction this child he desperately desired.
Zhou Zimo turned around, just wanted to leave but stopped, I don't know why I suddenly had an intuition in my mind, this corpse is useful!
He didn't know where this thought came from, but it just lingered in his mind.
Forget it, hide it, just find Xiao Jin and take them to see it after they find it, so let's avenge him! Zhou Zimo thought to herself.
As soon as he said to move, Zhou Zimo searched everywhere around, turned out a rusty steel bar from a pile of rubble, and after cleaning up the broken stones on it, he wasted all his strength, and tied the left hand of Li Miao's corpse to the steel bar without touching his body as much as possible, for which he also sacrificed a small piece of his clothes.
But where is it hidden? Zhou Zimo is very unfamiliar with this place, and there are no more conspicuous references nearby, if you throw it in any gap, you will definitely not find it next time!
Helplessly, he could only take out the map to look for it, and after roughly deducing his location, he saw that the map marked the wreckage of a skyscraper in the east.
This building is the tallest building in the neighborhood, and if you look for it later, you will definitely find the body if you find this area!
In order to determine the location of the tall building, Zhou Zimo ran to the small building next to him to observe, the ground vision was too limited, and he couldn't see it at all, and the roof of this four-story small building should be just right.
As he expected, standing on the top of the building, he saw the skyscraper standing out from the crowd.
After determining the direction, Zhou Zimo was about to go down, but at a glance, he found another situation that made his heart skip a beat.
Far away, but not too far away, there are live zombies walking around!
At this time, the sun was setting in the west again, he thought that he was dazzled by the mistake, rubbing his eyes, Zhou Zimo looked again, it was indeed a zombie!
Or the green dwarves who are extremely agile and move around one place, trying to get in several times only to howl and run out...... I don't know how long the cycle has been.
Zhou Zimo frowned, and in a hurry, he found that in addition to this place, there were also the same dwarves wandering in the shadows of other ruins, and their targets were ...... It's Li Miao!
Realizing this fact, Zhou Zimo's heart was shocked, it turned out that it was not that Li Miao's corpse was not cleaned up, but that they couldn't get by!
But why? He didn't think there was anything wrong with this place!
It was getting late, and Zhou Zimo felt that he couldn't stay here too long, what if the dwarves suddenly attacked? He couldn't handle so many zombies alone.
Zhou Zimo carefully memorized the locations where the zombies could be seen, and then quickly ran downstairs to start the plan.
Who would have thought that this Li Miao's corpse was like being filled with lead, and it took him the strength to move that little distance!
Zhou Zimo threw down the steel bar and kicked the corpse twice with resentment, what should I do?
He paced back and forth in place, tried countless methods but failed to drag the corpse perfectly, but the skin on his body was as tough as a rubber made of steel, and no matter how hard Zhou Zimo tried, he couldn't pierce the steel bar into the corpse.
He was suddenly a little frightened, what kind of monster was that thing that could cut off Li Miao's right hand and leave so many holes in his arm!
There was really no way, seeing that it was getting dark, Zhou Zimo could only use the most labor-saving method he had just tried.
He collected a lot of small bits and pieces, spread them on the way forward, and took out one of the few pieces of clothing in his bag and made two strands of rope around the left and right armpits of the corpse, and then tied them to the ends of the steel bar, while he pulled the corpse like a coachman towards the skyscraper.
Even though he had made two layers of measures, he still felt like he was pulling a car, and he really didn't know how Li Miao could afford such a heavy body before his death!
