Chapter 285: Siege Battle!
In all fairness, this corpse isn't that scary to me. I had even seen corpses in the 100,000 mountains, did I care about such a group of headless heads?
But I don't care, but that doesn't mean the people in Headless City don't care. Don't look at that headless brother who trembles with fright, but he really doesn't blame him, because there are actually his heads in the countless corpses outside the city.
In other words, the heroes of Headless City are counted as one, and as long as they have performed the head-cutting ceremony, they will all naturally fear the corpse. After all, this thing fell from them in the first place, like a mouse is afraid of a cat, not that you can overcome it if you are brave.
No wonder those headless armorers ran back without blood staining their whole bodies, there are their own natural enemies outside the city, who cares about bloodstaining their whole bodies?
The headless brother said that the heads of the headless city do not rot, but the residents of the headless city will die. Therefore, the heads accumulated over thousands of years are dense and countless. They abandon their heads out of anger at their bodies, so they storm Headless City every once in a while.
At this time, it is actually a disaster in Headless City. Don't look at the corpse man, this thing is just a round human head on the surface, but this thing is like the flying head of the Thai head descender, which can hurt people in the air.
As long as he is bitten by the mouth of the corpse, this headless man is basically useless.
The revenge of the corpse barbarians has lasted for thousands of years, and as long as the headless city remains, they will be haunted. This is a war between the head and the man, and there is no way to mediate, and no one has the ability to mediate. From the day the head-cutting ceremony was created, it was doomed to hatred between them.
Major Zhou Zhi in the wilderness fired a flare again, and through the light of Bai Sensen, I looked out of the city, only to see that everywhere I looked, there were dense human heads rolling on the ground. It may be because they are close to the Headless City, so these heads no longer avoid the light, but let out a strange laugh, and gradually approach the Headless City.
The heads were either expressionless, or they gritted their teeth, some laughed wildly, some wept and wept. Anyway, one by one, the ghosts cried and the wolf howled, and the sound shook the four wilds. This scene of people crying and rolling all over the ground made me a little dumbfounded, and I said in my heart that it was no wonder that the people in Headless City were scared like chickens one by one, and anyone would be frightened in this situation.
Headless City has a maximum of 800 inhabitants, and the corpses in the wilderness are densely packed with countless people, I'm afraid there are more than 10,000. They came from three directions, and in an instant they surrounded the headless city.
I glanced apprehensively over the border guards and saw that Major Zhou Zhi had built a flame defense ring over the wilderness with solid fuel. The tumbling heads tried to hit them a few times, but they were all kicked out by the border guards.
Probably because the border guards had no causal relationship with the corpses, the corpses bypassed the flame defense circle and rolled directly towards the headless city with a slight attempt.
Look at the Great Elder and Mr. Ji at the head of the city, they have closed the city gate deadly, and no one is allowed to go out. The Great Elder stood at the head of the city and quarreled fiercely with the corpse Banzai and Xiao Zhong Kui, while Mr. Ji commanded countless headless people to take off the fluorescent skeletons on the city and throw them down.
That's when I realized that these fluorescent skeletons weren't just for decoration, but were specifically designed to deal with corpses. The human head is carved from ordinary stone, but the fluorescent substance on it can attract the corpse to stick out its tongue and lick it.
I don't know what these fluorescent substances are made of, as long as the corpse's tongue is licked, the expression on his face will become intoxicated, and then the two heads gnaw at each other, entangled.
However, the number of fluorescent skeletons on the city was too small, and hundreds of fluorescent skeletons were thrown down, only slightly delaying the speed of the corpses. More corpses that couldn't grab the fluorescent skeletons whined and cried, and crashed headlong under the city walls.
I looked down, and said that the city wall was at least five or six meters high, and these people had no hands or feet, how should they climb up? As a result, as soon as the probe looked down, I found that these corpses jumped up from the ground with a bang.
The elasticity of the corpse head is very high, and it can only bounce more than half a meter high at the beginning, but after each bounce, the force of the impact on the ground is greater, and on the contrary, the higher the height of the bounce. They only bounced four or five times, and their height went from more than half a meter to four or five meters.
I was stunned, and said that the corpse head still has this kind of operation? With such a strong bounce, I guess even the ball can't carry it, right? It's a miracle that these heads didn't get their brains down.
Tens of thousands of heads were bouncing outside the city, and the sound alone was enough to make people collapse. There was a headless man who was frightened by the imposing corpse, and he knelt on the ground and did not dare to move. That is, the headless people have no heads, and if their heads are still there, they must be kowtowing.
A group of headless men in bone armor suddenly rushed up to the city, grabbed the headless men who were kneeling on the ground, and threw them off the wall without saying a word. With a scream of ventriloquism, more than a dozen headless people fell into the corpse in an instant.
Then there was a scene that shocked me, some of the corpses who had not yet bounced saw a headless man falling from the city wall, and immediately rushed over. The group of corpses bared their white fangs and gnawed at the headless corpses.
Dozens of corpses scrambled for a headless body, and in an instant, a dozen headless people were torn to the point that there was nothing left of the slag. And at this time, the Great Elder roared hoarsely: "Who is afraid of death!" Who's going to end up here! We've cut off heads! Are you still afraid to cut off your head again? ”
The voice of the Great Elder drowned out the whining cries of the corpses, and the tall headless men in bone armor roared in unison, standing on the head of the city like nails.
The Great Elder's resolute counterattack lifted the spirits of the headless people, and it is estimated that they all know that the corpse is here for revenge, and if they don't fight for it, it is estimated that no one will be able to save themselves.
In this state of mind, the headless people cheered up, took sticks and stone pestles, followed behind the headless armor, and let out a strange cry.
At this time, the first batch of bouncing corpses had already jumped onto the city wall, and dozens of corpses rolled along the city wall without saying anything, with big mouths, screaming and gnawing around.
The first to bear the brunt were the headless armorers standing at the top of the city, each of them carrying a thick club, mostly of wood, and a few of twisted iron. Seeing the corpses rushing up to the city, the headless armorers raised their sticks one after another, and smashed them at the corpses like playing baseball.
I only heard the sound of banging and banging, and countless corpses burst out and fell down the city after being beaten, but there were also some corpses that messed up the formation of the headless people, and a big mouth was to see who bit whom, without any mercy.
There was a lot of chaos in the city, but I was a little overwhelmed. Because this is a battle between the head and the body, no matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with me. I'm not helping heads, and it's even worse to help headless.
When I was thinking nonsense, I saw Mr. Ji bypassing the scuffle between the corpse man and the headless man, and walked towards me in a hurry.
I still have great respect for Mr. Ji, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and when I saw him coming, I hurriedly walked up to say hello.
Mr. Ji said without hesitation: "Young man! You must leave Headless City! ”
If I want to say that I want to leave Headless City, I am willing to leave the city with a thousand and ten thousand, but the key is that the corpses are now besieging the city on three sides, and only one side is leaning against the cliff, in this case, unless I have a pair of wings, how can I rush out?
So I smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ji, it's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't leave at all in this situation." Besides, I'm gone, what are you going to do? Can you leave Headless City? ”
Mr. Ji's ventriloquist actually said a very gloomy taste: "This is our cause and effect, we can't leave Headless City at all." ”
I seem to have heard the corpse Banzai say that as long as the person who performs the head cutting ceremony is actually considered to have a firm foothold in the headless city. Headless people will never be able to leave the city for the rest of their lives, and once they do, the headless body will gradually die.
This is the curse brought by Emperor Shun back then, and not everyone can change it.
I said with a straight face: "Mr. Ji, the headless city has been standing here for thousands of years, and no matter how powerful the corpse is, it may not be able to break the headless city, right?" There is no need to rush and flee. ”
Mr. Ji smiled bitterly: "Young man, you have also seen that the hatred between the corpse man and the headless man is irreconcilable, just like a mouse and a cat, they are born to stand on opposite sides. And this corpse attack is fundamentally different from the previous situation. ”
According to Mr. Ji, the corpse is as long as it is once every few decades, and it is as short as once every few years, and there will definitely be a large-scale siege operation. To this end, Headless City has also set up a headless armor warrior and a fluorescent skeleton to be responsible for countering the revenge of the corpse barbarians.
It is precisely because of this that although Headless City has almost broken its inheritance several times, it still barely persists. It's just that every time you repel the revenge of the headless, many residents of the headless city will die.
There are fewer and fewer people in the headless city, and it is inevitable that the inheritance will be broken. As a result, successive Great Elders would find ways to capture travelers, caravans, and herdsmen, explorers who had strayed into the area from the surrounding areas.
Anyway, as long as they catch someone, they will forcibly hold a head-cutting ceremony, and then make them a member of the headless city. This has the advantage of being able to quickly restore the population of Headless City without breaking the lineage.
But there is also a downside to this, that is, although the population of Headless City is large, more and more heads are being cut off. And these heads have all turned into corpses because of their resentment.
As a result, the number of corpses is increasing.
In fact, this kind of thing has become a vicious circle, the more beheadings are cut, the more corpses will be. If there are more corpses, more headless people will be bitten to death, and in order to increase the number of headless people, more heads will be cut, and then there will be more corpses......
The successive Great Elders actually saw this drawback, but they had to go on hard. Because if you don't give people a head cutting ceremony, the headless city will completely break the inheritance. When the time comes, you don't have to wait for the corpse brute to come and take revenge on the headless city, and it's over.
Mr. Ji said that when he first came to Headless City, the corpse man still carried out a large-scale revenge in ten or eight years. But the more headless people died, the more heads were cut off, and the revenge of the corpses became more and more frequent.
Up to now, the corpse barbarians will come to make trouble almost every year. And as time went on, the number of corpses grew. If this continues, the headless city will be destroyed by the corpses sooner or later.
Mr. Ji had long seen that Headless City would not last long, so he had long looked down on life and death. He is indeed not afraid of death, after all, how can a scientist who is not even afraid of cutting off his head be afraid of death?
He was afraid that his research results would not be able to be sent out, leaving the world without an academic work that was beneficial to the people. This time I was caught in Headless City, in fact, it was a chance for Mr. Ji, he would never let me die here.
Mr. Ji said, this time the corpses are much more powerful than before, both in terms of quantity and quality, but the headless city is getting fewer and fewer people, and I am afraid that this time I will not be able to bear it. What he wants to do now is not to protect some headless city, but to find a way to send me out.
That's why Mr. Ji gave up the command and hurriedly found me to talk about it. But can I bear to leave Mr. Ji and run away like this?
