Volume 3, Dragon Plains Ancient Land_Chapter 34, Accidental Corpse
Although the origin of this gourd is mysterious, and I still haven't figured out how much mysterious ability it has, but this gourd seems to be tied to me, closely related, there seems to be some kind of connection between each other, outsiders can't use it, it's not that I haven't told outsiders about the spell, the fat man and Luo Qiong they all know, but they can't use this gourd. It is precisely because of this that I was so surprised when I saw Mr. Xu easily use this gourd.
Xuanqing Tibetan Fengdao is actually useless? Yuan Yu is not the only one who was surprised, in the eyes of this group of Xuanfengmen guys, I and the fat man belong to the ability of three-legged cats, not on the stage, usually rely on the little oil skills of the rivers and lakes to live, in fact, there is nothing very capable. It's just that after such a move, Yuan Xu, who was almost not burned to death, understood a little and underestimated me.
"Interesting, it seems that I can't keep my hand." Yuan Yu said with a cold face, holding a sword in one hand and pinching a trick that I don't understand in the other, as if he wanted to put some powerful spell. I could clearly feel that the qi around me was not quite right, and I frowned, and the gourd was still somewhat confident in my hand. In the midst of the confrontation, a strange shout suddenly came from the rear hall, which came abruptly and with horror, and the people on both sides of us looked back at the same time. I saw that it was actually the owner of the noodle shop who walked out of the noodle shop, covering his face with his hands, bending over, and walking staggeringly as if he would fall down anytime and anywhere. There are constant screams of pain and even tears coming out of his mouth!
"Ah...... Yes...... It hurts......" he kept screaming, with the kind of cry of excruciating pain that came out of his throat. The fingers kept scratching the skin on the face, scratching out red marks, and the sharp nails scratched terrible blood marks on the face, and the whole person brought a hideous and terrifying feeling.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked.
He took a few more steps forward, and for a moment he didn't stand still and fell to the ground, falling to the ground between me and Yuan Xu, and it was only then that I could really see his face clearly. Aside from the blood and torn flesh, there were his pupils that had begun to mutate. The noodle shop owner's pupils had turned green, and there was a strange bluish glow around his eyelids, which felt like the skin of a person after death.
"Help me...... I'm so uncomfortable, I ......" He reached out and tried to grab my arm, and as he spoke, his mouth opened, blood gushed from his throat, and all the skin he could see turned pale, and the nails on his raised hand were completely black.
"How did you end up like this?" I asked, I was fine a few minutes ago, how did I become this picture in the blink of an eye!
"I, I'm ......" he wanted to speak, but the harder he spoke, the more blood gushed out of his throat, blocking the words he wanted to say.
"Corpse ......" Li Dashou next to me spoke, I was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at him with incredible eyes, and said, "Corpse? You mean dead bodies turn into zombies? ”
"Haven't you ever been exposed to corpses? Not only do dead bodies become zombies, but living people can also become zombies, but the process of turning a living person into a zombie is very painful, which is far more painful than death, dozens or hundreds of times more painful. Li Dashou said.
Over the years, I've seen a lot of strange things, but I really haven't seen such a thing as a living corpse. But how could the noodle shop owner become a zombie? Could it be that a zombie in the neighborhood bit him? But this is even more impossible, zombies are not wild cats and wild dogs on the road, nor grasshoppers and voles in the fields, how can it be said that there are any? But if there were no zombies biting him, then how could he suddenly be corpsed?
At this moment, I seemed to think of something, and hurriedly rushed into the noodle shop, and when I looked up, I saw that the bottle of zombie blood I left in the noodle shop had been opened, and it was clearly drunk!
At that time, I didn't tell the owner of the noodle shop the truth in order to hide people's eyes, so I said that it was medicinal wine, and he probably didn't hold back his greed and opened it and took a sip. This is zombie blood, or the essence of essence blood with corpse energy, and it is more powerful than being bitten by a zombie in one bite!
"Ahh Yes! The shouts of the boss outside grew louder and louder, and the pain in his voice increased. I resealed the zombie blood, and when I ran outside to take a look, I saw that the shopkeeper had already risen from the ground, crouching on the ground with his head in his hands, muttering something different from the heart-rending howl he had had made before. Instead, it's a neurotic murmur......
Necropsy is a process, I haven't seen a living person necropsized, but I've seen a dead body turn into a zombie. A few years ago, we went to Phoenix, and an old local wizard who knew him demonstrated the process of refining corpses. After the corpse is buried in the Yin soil for a period of time, it will be covered with Yin Qi, and at the same time, some parts of the body will show symptoms of decay. For example, there are fingers around the mouth, and there will be similar signs of decay on the neck. If you hit the corpse gas in these places, you will start to corpse. In the first stage of corpse transformation, the whole corpse will gradually fill up, like a shriveled balloon being washed into the air, but the flesh is still dead. In the second stage, the skin and flesh will begin to change, and the surface will appear to age like the bark of a tree, and even some areas will shed the skin and flesh, and eventually the bones will be exposed. In the third stage, when the teeth appear, the breath exhaled from the mouth will also turn slightly green. At this stage, it will take at least thirty or forty days, and seventy-seven or forty-nine days to reach the final stage.
In other words, cadavers are not done overnight, and the development of everything is justified and regular.
I walked quickly to the man's side and said, "Now that the corpse has just begun, there is still salvation, do you have any magic weapons in the Xuanfeng Sect that can expel the corpse qi?" ”
When I lowered my head, no one answered, so I tried to reach for the noodle shop owner's hand, but he pushed him away. raised his head, but saw that the group of people in Xuanfeng Gate were all looking at him coldly, and none of them wanted to help. At this moment, my heart was cold for a moment, and I sneered: "You claim to be famous and decent, and it is really difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and the rivers and lakes are unpredictable." ”
I didn't think about it, but Li Dashou looked at me coldly and said: "Although we can't say that we are all 100% good people, if we can save it, we will naturally save it." It's just that there is no way to save this person. If you have good intentions, it is better for you to cut off his head with a knife and cut off his pain. ”
"What do you mean? He has just been corpsed, and he is still saved, why kill him! I didn't react to the meaning of the other party's words for a while, and I opened my mouth to ask.
"Look carefully......" He motioned for me to take a closer look, I lowered my head, only to find that the process of the noodle shop owner's corpse was much faster than expected, his eyes had turned emerald green, his lips were purple, his skin was white and old, and the whole person looked like he had entered the second stage of corpseization. And this change is clearly accelerating, and it is constantly moving towards the third stage!
"What's going on?" I said with a frown.
"The corpse of a living person is different from the corpse of a dead person, and you must have heard the story of some people who become zombies after being bitten by zombies. Nowadays, this kind of thing is rare, and even if we can see zombies, most of them are controlled by corpse refiners. There are not many zombies in the wild, and the country has advocated cremation in recent years, so corpses are even less common. The corpse of a living person will be much faster than that of a corpse, and if the zombie bites the person is advanced, it will also accelerate the change of this process. He spoke.
"So he's going to be a zombie soon?" I said in a daze.
"Yes, soon. Before he completely turns into a zombie, giving him a knife is the greatest mercy to him. Li Dashou said, compared to the Xuanfeng Sect disciples around him, he seemed to be a little more enthusiastic.
"Give him a knife...... "Although I don't kill Beren, the feeling that Beren died because of me once again came to my heart. I didn't mean to hurt the owner of the noodle shop, but I walked into the noodle shop hungry, and I gave him the zombie blood for safekeeping. Even though I didn't expect him to take this sip......
I was holding the Tushan knife, and I heard Yuan Yu next to me say: "If you don't give him a knife now, after he turns into a zombie in a while, it will be troublesome to deal with." And he's corpsed so quickly, I'm afraid the source of your bottle of zombie blood is not shallow......"
I looked at the noodle shop owner in front of me, but I couldn't lift the hand holding the knife.
