Chapter 417: Zombies (Part I)
Still the carpenter was more experienced, and he shouted: "Zombies! Then he got up and ran away through the back door. Download the full text of the e-book--
The scholar didn't react for a while, until the zombie opened the 'door' fiercely, and then he panicked and slipped away. But it was too late, and the zombie seemed to smell him, and chased after him.
The scholar finally ran out of the big 'gate' of the broken temple, and in a hurry, he gave full play to the potential that he had not had time to play in his life for decades, and quickly climbed to a big tree in front of the 'gate'.
The carpenter, who had a good conscience, snuck back with an ink fountain and flicked it across the coffin a few times. Then the coffin was sealed. The zombie couldn't catch up with the tree, went back to the temple, found the coffin sealed, and turned back to find the scholar. But because zombies can only jump and can't climb trees, they can't catch them all the time under the trees.
Finally, it reached out and 'thrust' into the trunk of the tree with great force, and its long nails dug deep into the trunk, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not pull it out. The scholar stayed in the book with fear, his feet trembling with fright, and finally waited until the 'chicken' crowed in the morning.
The zombie couldn't move during the day, and the villagers came to watch it when they heard the news, and finally a few dared to catch it and burn it to be completely finished.
It is said that zombies first appeared in the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, but at that time, there was no zombie when it came to corpses, and zombies began to appear in large numbers in the Qing Dynasty, but the most zombies should be in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, China was in a time of 'chaos', corpses were strewn across the countryside, everyone only cared about fleeing, and no one would help others collect the corpses.
Moreover, at that time, environmental sanitation and medical "medicine" were generally underdeveloped, and there were ten cases of broken families and deaths, and the phenomenon of the dead and the living living in the same room was very common.
I heard that it was not until the 30th or 40th years of the Republic of China that zombies gradually decreased, and there are many reasons that it is difficult to describe them one by one. But the zombies that can survive now are all thousand-year-old zombies, and they are difficult to spot.
In fact, the Qing Dynasty pre-revived the term zombie. Zombies are the corpses that chase away corpses. At that time, most of the families who could afford to drive out the corpses were corrupt officials who were not very good in character. If corrupt officials and wealthy people die in a foreign land, according to custom, their bodies must be sent back to their hometowns for burial. In order to show their status, they will put on an official uniform.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the most famous Xiangxi corpse. Xiangxi Gan drove the corpse, also known as the moving spirit, belongs to the Maoshan Shuzhu Branch, originated in Xiangxi Yuanling, Filter, Chenxi, Xupu four counties. Download the specific 'operation' process: when the corpse is not decomposed, the warlock will rush back to the village for burial. The warlocks who drove the corpses were about three or five together, some tied the corpses with ropes, one every few feet, and then pasted yellow paper charms on their foreheads, and the others beat gongs and bells to open the way, and drew a night walk. Before daylight, he threw himself into the stack, lifted the rune paper, and the corpse stood against the wall, and continued on the road at night.
Some people also pointed out that the corpse chaser actually carried the corpse on his back, but because he was dressed in black and walked at night, passers-by naturally did not see the corpse chaser, thinking that there was a walking corpse.
Having said all this, I want to explain the situation in front of me reasonably. Because on the video from the monitor, we saw phenomena on the second floor that were unbelievable, beyond imagination, and completely unexplained by science.
It all started after we assigned the monitoring schedule. Sensing something strange, Yang Junfei quickly installed a monitor in the kitchen, and the three of us returned to the hotel as soon as it was dark for fear of causing too many unpredictable factors by running around the village. In the kitchen downstairs, there was no movement at all.
But after ten o'clock in the evening, a dark figure slowly walked in. At that time, Sun Xiaoxue was on duty in front of the monitor, and when she saw that there was a situation, she immediately called us who were studying the map on the side.
On the screen, the black shadow walked extremely hard and sluggishly, as if he had a weight of tens of millions of catties. And every few steps I take, my whole body trembles slightly. Closer, closer and closer. In front of the 'fine' night vision camera, a 'female' face was 'exposed'.
I saw that her face was pale and pale, without revealing the slightest expression, and the only look was rigid, as if a weird photo was pasted on her face. I don't know what she ate for dinner, but a lot of saliva kept secreting from her mouth, which kept flowing out of the corners of her mouth. At first glance, it makes people feel that there is definitely something wrong with the nerves.
Sun Xiaoxue shouted in surprise: "Boss." She is the hostess of this hostel. How could it be, how did she become like this! The last time I saw her, she was still kind and kind, and she was a mature 'woman' and 'sex' with a lot of affinity. I have a crush on her. ”
The proprietress was drooling, and the inside of her mouth seemed to be broken, staining the drooling dark red. The whole atmosphere suddenly became heavy and weird, and the hearts of those who watched it were numb.
"The Ebola virus phenomenon." Yang Junfei observed silently for a long time before commenting.
"What's that?" Sun Xiaoxue asked intently as she looked at the monitor screen. This 'female' person is really not simple, if it were other 'female' and 'sex' encountering this situation, she would have been so frightened that her feet trembled, and she would have been afraid of herself in the bed.
I didn't look away, casually explaining: "It is said that in the early part of the last century, British experts explained the emergence of the phenomenon of the 'living dead'. When these experts studied the natural disease of Ebola virus fever, they found that the phenomenon of the living dead had similar symptoms. They then claimed that the phenomenon of the living dead was a disease caused by the virus. After several hours of high fever, a patient infected with Ebola virus will fall into a coma or fainting state, a sign that is so similar to death in bed that the patient is often assumed to be dead. However, after a few hours or days, the patient suddenly wakes up and enters a very aggressive state. This confused patient will bite at all moving objects, both humans and animals. At the same time, the disease causes the patient to secrete a large amount of saliva and cause internal bleeding. However, in the eyes of outsiders, the suddenly resurrected dead man had blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and his eyes becoming dull, and he had become a standard zombie. "What do you mean, this boss lady has turned into a zombie?" Sun Xiaoxue shuddered: "How is it possible, how can there be such a ridiculous thing." "Nothing is impossible in the world." I chuckled dryly and pointed to the creature on the screen, which was no longer human: "Look, its eyes are glazed, and it obviously has no ability to think. All that remains is instinct and the most important behavioral cycles in everyday life. Perhaps the most important thing for this lady is to fill the fridge. ”
