140, Undead
"There's a small noodle factory around here. It is said that before the disaster, there was a warehouse that could produce 20 tons of somen noodles a day and a warehouse that could store 10,000 tons of wheat......"
In front of a small stall, the stall owner looked at the bucket of instant noodles in Wang Zheng's hand, and while swallowing his saliva, he said what he knew.
"A factory with a daily output of 20 tons of dried noodles? There must be a lot of noodles, flour, and wheat in stock, right? β
Wang Zheng was a little strange: "Captain Zhou, they didn't send someone to collect grain?" Is it because they don't know about the existence of the noodle factory, or are there a lot of living corpses in there that can't be defeated? β
The stall owner laughed dryly, glanced at Wang Zheng with some weakness, and whispered: "That noodle factory, Captain Zhou, they already knew." There are not many living corpses in the factory - after all, it is only a small factory, and it is an automatic production line, and there are not dozens of people in the factory. It's just, it's just ......"
Wang Zheng frowned: "Just what?" β
"It's just that it's haunted!" The stall owner said nervously: "Captain Zhou and Boss Wen once teamed up to go to that noodle factory to find food. As a result, there was no food to be found, but many people died. I heard from the people who came back that they had bumped into ghosts! β
"Hit the ghost?" Wang Zheng sneered twice: "Are you fooling me?" β
"Boss, what you said, how dare I fool you!" The stall owner said with sincere fear: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Brother Wu under Captain Zhou, he also went with him that day and saw the ghost with his own eyes!" β
Wang Zheng groaned for a while, threw the bucket noodles in front of the stall owner, and got up to leave.
"Wang Zheng, are we going to find that little Brother Wu to find out the information?"
"No, let's go directly to Captain Zhou."
Wang Zheng casually found a survivor who looked more energetic on the road, threw a bag of thumb cakes to the man, and asked in the man's happy and grateful eyes: "Do you know where Captain Zhou lives?" β
The man nodded: "Yes, yes!" β
"Take us there."
So the man took Wang Zheng and Ah Qing, turned left and right in the base for a while, and brought them to a tent area.
Unlike the tents on the periphery, which were haphazardly built and irregularly arranged, the tents here were neatly built and orderly, spaced out from each other, with neat drainage ditches dug and the floor cleaned.
Zhou Guofeng and a dozen brothers sat in the open space in front of the first row of tents, smoking cigarettes with sad faces.
"Captain Zhou!" Wang Zheng greeted and walked towards Zhou Guofeng with A Qing.
Zhou Guofeng raised his eyes and saw that it was Wang Zheng, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he got up to greet him: "Brother Wang, why are you here?" β
"There's something I want to ask Captain Zhou about."
Wang Zheng didn't say anything polite to him, and went straight to the point: "I heard that there is a noodle factory near here, and I also heard that Captain Zhou and Director Wen once took people to the noodle factory to find food, so I want to ask you about the situation in the factory." β
"A noodle factory?" Zhou Guofeng was stunned, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
The dozen or so brothers behind him couldn't help but show a look of fear and fear.
Wang Zheng remained silent: "I also heard that the noodle factory is haunted. I didn't believe this at first, but now look at Captain Zhou, you guys, is there really a ghost in that noodle factory? β
Zhou Guofeng smiled bitterly: "Brother Wang, if you don't believe it, you should be." If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it......"
Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "It's actually true?" Captain Zhou, what's going on in the noodle factory? What the hell are you seeing? β
Zhou Guofeng took a puff of cigarette, frowned, and said slowly:
"We encountered four kinds of ghosts. One is a skeleton ghost, which does not have a piece of flesh on its body, just a skeleton of bones, like a human skeleton specimen, which looks very brittle, but is actually incredibly fast, and its strength is no less than that of an ordinary adult man.
"What's even more ridiculous is that they still have weapons. Knives, swords, axes, spears...... Although they are all tattered and broken weapons, they can still kill and injure people when they are smashed on people.
"The second type is a zombie - not the Qing Dynasty zombie that jumped up and down in Hong Kong films before, but a zombie with dark skin, slow movements, but rough skin and thick flesh, and infinite strength. Their claws are so poisonous that even if they scratch a small wound, they will quickly die of poison if they see blood.
"The third type is mummies. looks similar to the old movie "The Mummy Returns", all wrapped in tattered strips of cloth. Although there are very few of them, they are as powerful as zombies and as fast as skeletons, making them very difficult.
"Although the first three types of ghosts are terrifying, after all, there are entities, even if they can't be defeated, they can be avoided or escaped in advance if they see it from a distance. But the last ......"
Speaking of which, Rao is Zhou Guofeng has personally experienced the battlefield, he is bold, and his generous face can't help but show a touch of fear:
"The last kind of ghosts, like the ghosts in traditional ghost stories, have no substance, just translucent shadows, and they look light and fluttering as if they were nothing to be afraid of, but as long as they pounce on a person, that person will surely die. It's like being frozen to death......"
A touch of pain appeared on his face: "At the beginning, Lao Wen and I led a team to the noodle factory to look for food, and when we went, there were more than 100 people, and when we came back, there were only more than 70 people left. More than 30 brothers were lost. Only a dozen of them were killed by skeletons, zombies, and mummies, and the remaining twenty or so were all killed by the kind of disembodied 'ghosts'......"
When he heard this, the dozen or so brothers behind him were not only frightened and afraid, but also had a heavy and gloomy look in their eyes. Obviously, many of the thirty or so people who died were their good brothers.
Wang Zheng pondered for a while and asked, "Captain Zhou, I see that although you don't have much heavy firepower, you also have some rifles and pistols. Could it be that these weapons have nothing to do with those ghosts? β
Zhou Guofeng smiled bitterly: "Unless the skeleton ghost is shot in the head, the bullet will hit other places and will not work at all." Zombies are even more terrifying, even if they are hit in the head by a bullet, they will not die easily unless the whole head is completely shattered. The shroud on the mummy's body is like body armor, and the rifle bullets can't penetrate it.
"As for the ghosts...... Eat any attacks at all. We've tried, and there's only one way to deal with the ghost, and that's to sprinkle the still hot blood on the ghostβit has to be fresh blood, nothing else......"
Wang Zheng's expression moved: "Blood can kill ghosts?" β
"I can't." Zhou Guofeng shook his head and sighed heavily: "It's just that I can force them back a little." Originally...... We were chased by ghosts all the way, and it was a few brothers who were veterans who stood up and took the initiative to break off, and kept spilling their own blood to force the ghosts back, so that we had a chance to escape. But the brothers ......."
Speaking of this, there were already tears in Zhou Guofeng's eyes.
"Skeletons, zombies, mummies, ghosts, ......"
Wang Zheng's index finger rubbed the stiff stubble that had just grown on his chin, and he secretly thought in his heart: "It's all some classic undead monsters." Judging from what Zhou Guofeng said, those undead monsters seem to be just wild monsters, and there are no intelligent undead existence, let alone a necromancer command. Otherwise, Zhou Guofeng and the others would have been wiped out long ago, and no one would have escaped......"
In the secret room under the base camp, the "Monster Illustrated Book" found has a detailed description of the undead monsters.
Therefore, Wang Zheng knows very well that undead monsters are divided into two types: wild and domestic.
Domestic undead are generally assistants and soldiers made by necromancers, and the proportion of intelligent undead is very large, well-equipped, and far stronger than the wild undead elite.
The wild undead are generally found in unmanaged cemeteries, unpurified battlefields, and mining caves where mining disasters have occurred...... and other places where a large number of bones have accumulated. Under the erosion of negative energy, undead spirits are gradually generated.
Among the wild undead, it is rare to have intelligent undead, they are all monsters who act on instinct.
But even so, because of the "immortal" nature of the undead, they are still invincible monsters to ordinary people - even if the skeletons and zombies are broken heads, as long as they are not completely "purified", as long as the area where the undead are located, there is still negative energy erosion, then after a period of time, they can be "resurrected".
Even the average awakened person is no match for the undead.
Of course, because of the active supernatural elements in the other world, there are often wild undead and there are many necromancers, so they have long summarized various effective methods for how to deal with the undead.
According to the records in the "Bestiary", even low-level professionals who are not as powerful as the current awakened can use various mechanism items to deal with a small number of undead.
Skeletons, for example, are immune to piercing damage, but are afraid of blunt hits. It can be smashed with blunt instruments such as shields, sticks, and hammers.
Zombies are powerful, their dead muscles are as strong as armor, but their joints are stiff and they are extremely slow, and they can fly kites from a distance and kill them with arrows soaked in holy water.
The Mummy Shroud is harder than the flesh of a zombie and cannot be effectively penetrated by arrows soaked in holy water, but the Shroud is flammable and especially fears magical flames, which can be ignited and burned to ashes.
As for the ghosts, this one is a bit tricky to deal with. Because the ghost is immune to almost all physical attacks, only the moment the ghost attacks, can it damage the ghost with a weapon blessed with the extraordinary power of restraining the undead.
The best way to deal with ghosts is to cast positive energy spells. Or sprinkle it with holy water.
In general, every kind of undead, including intelligent undead, actually has a way to deal with it, and there is no such thing as a completely inexplicable undead.
But......
The "holy water" of another world can only be made by a true god priest who has mastered divine arts. The higher the priest's level of magic, the more potent the holy water created.
If there is no holy water, then if you want to deal with the undead, you can only crush it with absolute strength.
At least the three types of entity undead, skeletons, zombies, and mummies, can be crushed with strength. Only the ghost is slightly more troublesome.
"The blood of an ordinary strong man can make the ghost temporarily retreat, if I bleed, wouldn't I be able to burn the ghost to death directly?"
Wang Zheng recalled the characteristics and weaknesses of all kinds of wild undead recorded from the "Monster Illustrated Book", and felt that the undead in the noodle factory that made Zhou Guofeng and Wen Xueyi helpless and lost their troops were not a big problem for him, so he immediately nodded to Zhou Guofeng: "Thank you, Captain Zhou." The information you provided was very helpful to me. β
Zhou Guofeng said politely first, then came back to his senses and said with a stunned face: "Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?" Don't...... Are you going to that noodle factory? β
