Chapter 68: Tragic Situation
The night passed.
The sunrise of the capital was ushered in again, but there was no longer the prosperity of the past, many houses had fallen into ruins, and the intact ones were scratches everywhere on the doors and windows.
There are mottled splattered blood stains everywhere on the street, and the traces of dragging and struggling are everywhere, which makes people feel chills in their hearts when they look at it, and they don't dare to imagine how tragic last night was.
No one knows how many people were bitten and no one knows how many died......
Anyway, it's like every family has a cry, after all, it was hard to survive until sunrise, and those monsters finally scattered and fled, nowhere to be found, and the fear, fear and grief they had been suppressing were finally vented.
Mourning is everywhere, and today's sun seems to be quite bleak, and the sky is gray and gloomy.
Even the Qinglou gambling house is not open today.
People are panicked and frightened, so in the midst of that crying, there is also fear in addition to sorrow. Because no one knows what happened last night, and no one knows where those monsters are hiding.
Maybe they're afraid of the day and won't see the day, but what about when the day is over and the night comes again?
The rumors of zombies have spread throughout Kaifeng Mansion overnight, and whether it is the people who have been attacked or those who have not been attacked, they are too scared.
After all, the former confronted those blood-sucking monsters, while the latter, no matter how stupid, could hear and see what was happening outside.
Many people were crying and fearing the reappearance of those vicious monsters, even though the sun had just risen, but no one felt safe. In addition, the sun is dim and the sky is gloomy, and although it is not snowing heavily today, it is also unusually cold.
- At first glance, it looks as if it's getting dark, or it's already getting dark.
Even though they know that this is a delusion, it still exacerbates the psychological pressure of many people, which forces them to grit their teeth and start relevant preparations immediately.
It is because I am so scared that I want to do something to stop being afraid.
Those so-called zombies are afraid of daylight, like to suck human blood, and are bloodthirsty, but they are not irresistible. Although their strength is enormous, and their claws are like iron blades, they are not enough to say that they can completely rampage.
It seems that as long as the doors and windows are strong enough, they can't get in......
And they are also afraid of fire, and someone burned several zombies alive last night......
Then there is the fact that glutinous rice and eggs have the effect of resisting zombies, and holding your breath at a critical moment can also avoid disaster, and roosters and black dogs can drive away evil spirits and break evil, and there are no taboos-
Although I don't know where the statement came from, it is clearly said, and at this time, the people don't care about thinking so much.
At this moment, even if someone wants to tell them that learning the behavior of Indian Ah San's sudden dancing at a critical moment can confuse zombies, I am afraid that many people will believe it.
As a result, the entire Kaifeng Mansion quickly began to act, and every household tried their best to find suitable or unsuitable wood from the outside, and began to "ping pong" to strengthen the doors and windows.
In fact, it's not just the doors and windows, even the chimneys they want to completely seal up.
Some wise people began to do this, and the sluggish people were not blind or deaf, and they immediately followed suit...... For a time, the entire Kaifeng city was full of carpenters, and some people even broke out into conflict over the issue of timber.
And it's not just wood, but all kinds of food, including glutinous rice, eggs, and roosters, black dogs, and so onβ
There are even people who swarm into the famous temples and Taoist temples in Kaifeng Mansion and want to ask for talismans and Buddha statues, but there are too many people to be able to get their wishes, and eventually it has developed into the result of a big fight.
Because everyone is panicked and can't see what the future holds, they are driven by a sense of extreme panic and will only desperately look for things that can give them a sense of security, and accumulate "capital" that they think will be able to survive the disaster in the future.
But before this incident broke out last night, although it could not be said that it was without warning, no one expected it, so it was not prepared in advance to respond to market demand.
Countless people flocked to the top, but even things like glutinous rice and eggs are limited, not to mention things like roosters and black dogs.
Fortunately, there are other things that distract people somewhat.
Otherwise, last night was a turbulent night of bloodshed, and today the day will also be a river of blood, but the difference is that last night was a zombie killing, and today during the day is a human killing.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"It's so miserable...... What's going on in this world? β
"I have heard that the kingdom is about to perish, and there will be evil ......"
"Shhhh Silence, you dare to say this kind of thing, are you going to die......"
A caravan that had just arrived in Kaifeng Mansion today went all the way into the city, but was stunned to find out if the others had come to the wrong place, and when they asked what was going on, they were all frightened.
They didn't suspect anything, after all, the tragic situation and chaos in Kaifeng Mansion were intuitively visible, with bloodstains everywhere on the street, ruined houses, and some people who were tied up and paraded through the streets.
After asking carefully, I realized that those people were unlucky guys who were bitten or scratched by zombies, that is, they were poisoned by corpses.
It is said that there is a danger of corpse mutation, after all, once you are bitten by a zombie and injured and poisoned, then you basically become a zombie reserve......
It seems that as long as the person himself has not died on the spot, and the qi and blood are still flowing naturally, then he can resist the corpse poison to a certain extent and delay the onset time.
At least not like someone who was drained of blood and died on the spotβ
Basically, it doesn't take even a cup of tea, and those dead corpses will get up again.
However, no one can say how long such unlucky ghosts can resist, they didn't die overnight, but others are afraid that they don't know when they will be corpses, and they also shout and kill them.
Eventually, the unlucky ones were simply pulled out and tied up in the streets, basking in the sun under everyone's noses, because some speculated that since the zombies fled after dawn, they must have been afraid of the sun.
And since zombies are afraid of sunlight, sunlight should also have a restraining effect on corpse poison...... This argument is well-founded and convincing.
The unlucky bastards who were tied up to bask in the sun turned pale, and they didn't know if it was the corpse poison that affected their bodies, or if they were frightened by the surging angry crowd. But they dare not speak out, and can only choose to bear such an encounter silently.
Otherwise, they really couldn't be sure that the crazy crowd would just burn them alive in a potential danger like theirs.
Now this kind of encounter is a relatively mild way.
It is not that the people end up with good intentions, for it is the people themselves who are the most fanatical insurrectionists when it is possible to harm the interests of the masses. The reason why they chose this was purely to determine whether the person who had been poisoned by the corpse was really hopeless.
After all, they may also face such problems in the future, otherwise, they definitely don't mind fanatically tying all those who might turn into zombies to be burned at the stake and burned to death.
"What are you doing!"
"It's all scattered...... Put people down! β
"Rest assured, the new Lord Yin has invited a real master, and we will properly treat these bitten people......"
Soon, there was another commotion on the street, but it was the officials of Kaifeng Mansion who heard the sound and shouted and asked to put down those unlucky ghosts and hand them over.
The crowd was very unhappy at first, and there was a burst of coaxing, and their emotions, panic and pressure at the moment have increased to a dangerous critical value, and if it is not handled well, it may be a mutiny.
The officials could only be anxious and explain bitterly.
But no matter what, their appearance represents the official, on behalf of the imperial court to react to last night's events, and such a statement is a reassurance to the people.
But reassuring pills alone are not enough, and the people are now shocked, angry and frightened, and they have to ask for an explanation.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, in the inner hall at the back.
The newly appointed Kaifeng Mansion Yin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, like ants on a hot pot, constantly turning back and forth. He really wants to die, who would have thought that he would encounter such a big change that has not been seen in a thousand years as soon as he took office?!
Even if this incident happened at the same time as he took office, it is impossible to blame him, but to deal with this matter later, it is definitely an unshirkable responsibility that he needs to face.
At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside, and then an old Taoist priest with a tired face walked in. Kaifeng Mansion Yin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward, and said quite sincerely:
"Real people! You're finally back, real person...... How is it? How's it going? β
"The situation is not very good, the patriarch of the poor road appeared in Beinan Province a few days ago, and now he may have gone straight to Kunlun, and the poor road can't be contacted......"
The old Taoist priest sighed, "But the poor Dao has already delivered the news to the master, and more juniors from the sect will come to Beijing soon." β
"Huh? Descendants, juniors? Kaifeng Mansion Yin felt dumbfounded all of a sudden, this was not in line with what he expected.
"There's no way, it's never been difficult to practice since ancient times." The old Taoist priest glanced at him, "I sent the ancestor to reach the realm of immortals, so that he could live forever, but after that, he ......."
He sighed again and again, sighing, as if he was ashamed of his incompetent disciples.
Live forever!
Kaifeng Mansion Yin's eyes burst out with an incomparably fierce and greedy longing light, but it was quickly extinguished again.
After last night's zombie incident, as well as the scene where the old Taoist priest in front of him performed a mysterious Taoist immortal technique at a critical moment, killed monsters, and saved himself, he no longer doubted that there were all kinds of strange things in this world.
However, one of the advantages of this Lord Fu Yin is that he is rational enough.
If you become an immortal, immortality is really such an easy thing to do, and this world will be full of immortals. The emperors of all dynasties and dynasties have inevitably died, and it is better for him to recognize the reality as soon as possible.
