Chapter 34: Escape
In the vast Lop Nur Desert, a caravan is marching rapidly. Fifteen camels with seventy legs kicked up a large cloud of sand and dust on the desert.
The jingle of camel bells no longer sounds like a beautiful piece of music to the ears of the rider, but a useless noise.
Because they are in a hurry to run for their lives, how can they be in the mood to enjoy the music and the scenery?
"Wei Min, with such a rapid marching speed, how far do you estimate I can run in a day?" Zhao Aiguo, who was on the bumpy hump, looked around at the reckless yellow sand, and couldn't figure out anything.
"I remember the last time we ran once, it was 70 kilometers in one day. No matter how you move today, you have to run 100 kilometers. If the skeleton zombie knew where we were, a hundred kilometers would be a hundred kilometers for it, and it would be half a day, so we would still not be safe. ”
"Speaking of this guy, what the hell do you think it's about? Thousands of years old bones are still hard, have they always been soaked in the latrine? Zhao Aiguo shook his head.
"Although the formation of the seven-star coffin is a soul suppression, I think the extreme must be reversed. The Seven Star Array has suppressed the soul of the tomb master for thousands of years, but instead has tempered his bones into something harder than steel. That's the reason I can think of at the moment. ”
Pang Weimin thought about this problem all the way, and a lot of the knowledge taught by his father was about zombies, and there had never been such a hard case. Therefore, no matter how he analyzes, there is only such a possibility.
"Inverted Seven Star Array? This unfortunate. But it's so fast, and the skeleton zombie's body is also very fast. Come alive, like a monkey. This is completely inconsistent with the principles of scientific physics. ”
"The science? As the saying goes, existence is reasonable. Since it can be trapped by the inverted seven stars and suppress the soul for a thousand years, then there is any possibility. Pang Weimin searched for the strange knowledge that his father taught, and he didn't find any introduction to zombie speed.
"Weimin, what's the matter with the zombies spewing poisonous mist?" The cuckoo, who was not far away, heard their conversation and asked the doubts in her heart.
She studied Western medicine and has a very good understanding of the structure of the human body. She was a high-achieving student who thought about it for a long time, and she didn't understand how a skeleton of bones without flesh and blood, without a heart, could be assembled together, and how could it run at such a high speed?
It's okay to be able to run and fight, but the bare bones and jaws can still spew toxic smoke, which is too mysterious, and all of the above are against scientific common sense for several streets.
"I think first of all, it cannot be ruled out that the coffin has gone through thousands of years, and a lot of corpse gas has gathered inside. Secondly, it may be that the skeleton zombie was poured poison when it was buried, and then it was suppressed with the Inverted Seven Star Array, and a poisonous fog was formed after thousands of years. That's why, this guy is so angry that he wants to kill us as soon as he gets up from the coffin. ”
"That is, if Xiao Li hadn't secretly opened the corner of the coffin lid in advance and let go of some corpse gas and poisonous gas, I estimate that we would probably not be able to escape from the desert basin."
Zhao Aiguo's words made the cuckoo frightened. Reminiscing about Xiao Li Rou. The disgusting scene of the body decaying, she was really a little timid, and there was a sense of remorse in her heart, it was not good to stay at home well, she had to travel thousands of miles to wade into this troubled water.
Not only her, but Huang Jiawei in the team at this time even regretted his intestines. There is a good life with wine and meat, but if you have to go to the desert where you can only eat dry food and drink some boiling water and soup every day, isn't it sick? It's really curiosity that kills cats.
He really wanted to go home now, but if he went back alone, how could he get out of this vast desert, a weak man?
"I think no matter how thrilling it is, these good fortunes always seem to be on our side, so I'm still confident that I can defeat the zombies this time."
Li Ping's mentality was completely opposite, Pang Weimin nodded and smiled, it was her sunshine and positivity that captured his heart.
Du Juan looked at Pang Weimin's smile, and wanted to say a few words to Li Juan, I still participated in bandaging the wounded. What are you doing, what noble sentiments are you showing here, what poisonous chicken soup is you pouring blindly? But I couldn't help but think about it.
"And how do you get rid of this pesky bone ghost?" Zhao Aiguo only thought about this skeleton zombie, did not notice the change in the cuckoo's mood, and frowned.
"I can't think of anything that works other than sunshine at the moment. Maybe we haven't discovered its other weaknesses yet. Pang Weimin was a little helpless, so he could only take one step at a time.
"Hey, by the way, did you make that reflection of the sun's rays during the day today?" Zhao Aiguo suddenly remembered the sunlight that saved the big cow in the morning, and asked with a smile.
"That's right, I use the sun's rays reflected by my saber. At the time, I thought about it, but I didn't expect it to be useful. Pang Weimin shrugged.
"Then if the skeleton zombie sneaks up on us at night, do you say that the light of the flashlight can repel it? If that's the case, it's much simpler, and run a hammer. ”
"You're thinking too much, do you think skeleton zombies are muddy? The sun's rays are the purest rays of nature, the source of energy that restrains all evil forces, flashlights? Wash and sleep. ”
Zhao Aiguo was speechless, bowed his head and pondered, Nima is all light, why is the gap so big?
The group fled frantically for a day, and their clothes were covered with dust. Even for lunch, I gnawed some dry food on the hunchback, drank some cold water, and ran until the sun went down. After consulting with Professor Wang, Bahar set up camp on the edge of a higher sand dune.
Pang Weimin checked the yin and yang fish pendant, this time Professor Wang arranged for Bahar to move in the direction of his father's disappearance, and finally he started to do "business" after eating two deflated foods.
Thinking that he was about to start a journey to find his father, Pang Weimin's heart was excited. The pressure and fear brought to him by the skeleton zombie seems to have faded a lot.
In the evening, the soup was finally buried, and everyone drank it. Hot egg soup, that taste of Beagle jumping over the wall, abalone. Fish soup, or even a thousand-year-old ginseng soup, is better.
"Wei Min, I want to hear your thoughts on whether the zombies can catch up with us tonight." After dinner, Professor Wang summoned Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo, and discussed with Xu Shan, Han Dong, Da Niu and Bahar about dealing with skeleton zombies.
"In terms of pure running speed, the speed of zombies can definitely reach here. But I guess it should be unlikely that it will find our place, but I can't be sure either. Pang Weimin shook his head.
"Little egg, don't you mean you didn't say it?" Han Dong snorted and crossed his arms, the place where the poisonous mist had been burned had already scabbed.
"Then you can also post a high opinion!" Zhao Aiguo replied.
"Little egg, isn't this a matter of lice on the head, we ran for more than a hundred kilometers, and the skeleton zombie is not a dog's nose, it will definitely not find here. Everyone can sleep peacefully tonight, and it will be completely safe to continue running tomorrow for another day. Han Dongman didn't care.
"Xu Shan, what do you think?" Professor Wang looked sideways at his most important bodyguard.
"Be prepared." Xu Shan played with the darts in his hand and spit out four words. This made Han Dong speechless for a while, this is a stuffy guy who likes to pretend to be a batch.
Professor Wang nodded, and after he asked Da Niu and Bahar's opinions, they discussed it again and went back to their tents to sleep.
In the early morning of the desert, the moonlight is obscured by dark clouds, and it is sometimes bright and dark. At night, the night wind blows, the cold swishs, and an eerie feeling envelops the desert.
A dark shadow galloped in from afar, bringing a cloud of dust with it. Its whole body was shrouded in black robes, and because of its running speed, it blew the robe on its head open, and it was a skull.
The skeleton zombie sniffed in the air with its hollow nose outstretched, then turned around and sped away towards the sand ahead. It sniffed out the familiar smell and clenched the fist of a broken finger and crunched.
Soon, the skeleton zombie rushed into the spot where it smelled, and if anyone was present, it could be seen to be a tent.
The skeleton zombie rushed into it, tearing the tent to pieces, and a lying figure inside was directly trampled and disrupted by it, without even having a chance to make a sound. Then it pulled something out of the man's pillow.
It's a circle. The moist beads emit this faint light.
The skeleton zombie stares at the beads with no empty eyes, and even if there is no flesh on its face, it can be felt if someone is present, it is laughing, and it is laughing happily.
Finally, it opens its mouth and swallows the beads in one gulp.
