Chapter 286: Living and Dying Together
Outside the headless city, there were more and more corpses bouncing up, so that more and more headless people died on the head of the city. You must know that headless people are also human beings, and even if they don't have heads, the fear of death still exists in their bones.
When the corpses occupy the city like a tide, the entire headless city will be in chaos. Everywhere there were panicked headless people and scurrying corpses. Some of the more ferocious corpses even bounced high and galloped towards the city.
Mr. Ji hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" Come with me! ”
I saw the dense corpses and the headless people who were gnawed into the bone frame, and my heart was also a little numb, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the tiger can't stand the wolves. Once the thousands of corpses became the climate, even the regular army would not dare to provoke them.
At the moment, I was not hypocritical, and I followed Mr. Ji and prepared to leave the city wall first. As a result, when I turned my head to look, I happened to see the corpse Wansui and Xiao Zhong Kui rushing along the city wall, and when the two of them saw that I was about to flee for my life, they immediately roared angrily: "Yu Buren! Don't run! ”
I replied unceremoniously: "You think I'm a fool?" Don't you run, waiting to be caught by you and taken to the endless abyss? ”
The corpse screamed angrily, and with a kick, a corpse ready to bite him flew towards me like a ball. I was not polite, but smashed it with a burning stick, only to see a flash of flames fly out, and the screaming corpse immediately rolled to the ground like a fireball.
Taking advantage of this stall, Long Live the Corpse and Xiao Zhong Kui swooped down from the city like big birds. Among them, Xiao Zhong Kui grabbed two corpses one by one and smashed them towards me like cannonballs.
I know that these two guys are very fierce, and they have to run first when they drag Mr. Ji. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ji sneered and said, "Old Yao! You three stop them! ”
Lao Yao agreed, and easily pulled out the guy from his side, blocking the spot like a door god. Don't look at Lao Yao, the three of them are a little timid when they deal with the corpse, but that's because of the underlying fear factor in the genes.
Once you deal with murderers like Long Live Corpse and Xiao Zhong Kui, it is really not ambiguous at all.
Lao Yao and the three of them used to be the leaders of the special case department, and they used all three-edged military stabs. Although more than forty years have passed, and the Triangular Thorn has been eroded by the years, it is still one of the most powerful things in Headless City.
I'm worried that these three headless big brothers are not the opponents of Long Live Corpse and Xiao Zhong Kui, and I want to grit my teeth and simply take this opportunity to chop up Long Live Corpse in one go. As a result, as soon as this thought came to him, he heard the Great Elder screaming hoarsely under the city wall: "Set fire!" Set! ”
I turned my head to look and found that the head of the headless city had been completely lost, and all around it was densely packed with howling corpses. The few headless men leaped from the city as fast as they could, either breaking their tendons and being gnawed into slag by the corpses, or limping into the hard stone houses, blocking the doors and never daring to come out again.
When the Great Elder shouted the word "set fire", a layer of green flames suddenly burst out of the city, this kind of flame was extremely strange, not only spread extremely fast, but even emitted a disgusting fishy smell, as if it was burning a corpse.
This was the last defense of the headless city, and together with the flames, the corpses on the city walls all screamed and turned into green fireballs. This thing won't die for a while, but it will be all over the world with green flames, and I will be dazzled and amazed when I see it.
The green flames on the top of the city caused the corpses to suffer greatly, and at least a thousand people rolled on the ground with flames and did not move. What's more, the flames blocked the connection between the corpses outside the city and the corpses in the city, and those inside the city couldn't get out, and those outside the city couldn't get in, so it was a big mess at that time.
In fact, at this time, it was the time for the headless city to counterattack, as long as more than a hundred headless armor soldiers carried sticks to kill, first clean up the corpses in the city, and then kill out of the city with the help of fire, maybe they could disperse this group of deadly things.
But everyone in Headless City was frightened by the corpses, and they hid in the stone houses one by one, and no one dared to come out.
I sighed, it seems that the headless man's fear of the corpse man is really deep in the bone marrow, no wonder the corpse man's revenge actions are becoming more and more frequent, and the suppressed headless city is out of breath.
The corpse was blocked by the flames, and the corpse Long Live and Xiao Zhong Kui were stopped by the three headless brothers. Taking advantage of this time, Mr. Ji took me down the city wall and turned left and right on the narrow street. Along the way, there were constantly flamed corpses rolling over, but I knocked them away with a beating stick.
Even if I encountered a panicked headless person, I kicked it unceremoniously.
Ten minutes later, we had circled to the other side of Headless City. When I looked up, I realized that this was the side of the headless city against the mountain wall, and there was a cliff of nearly 90 degrees above my head, and when I looked up, the stars above me seemed to be blinking at me.
Mr. Ji stretched out his hand to measure the distance, and then pulled out an iron chain from a mountain wall. He tested the strength of the iron chain, and then said to me, "This iron chain was left by Director Deng Bochuan, and after I accepted the head-cutting ceremony, Director Deng once sneaked into Headless City to take me away. ”
It dawned on me that with Deng Bochuan's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to enter Headless City quietly. But why didn't Mr. Ji leave?
Mr. Ji seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and the voice in his stomach became brisk: "I came to Headless City to uncover the secret of the headless and immortal of the living, and I didn't solve the mystery at first, so naturally I refused to leave." But then when I knew everything, I realized that I couldn't leave. ”
"Headless City, in fact, is a prison in disguise, although this is not the capital city of the endless abyss, but the headless people who live here are not as good as those sinners who will never see the light of day."
I couldn't help but say, "In other words, Mr. Ji, you won't come with me?" ”
Mr. Ji shook his body, probably shaking his head on behalf of himself: "The corpse is here, how can we walk?" Well, there's not much time, you follow the rope all the way up, and you'll climb this headless peak. On the top of the mountain, there is some equipment left by Director Deng there, although more than forty years have passed, but if you are lucky, there should still be some things that can be used. ”
Actually, I really want to take Mr. Ji with me. Although Mr. Ji has no head, he is still an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and even if modern society cannot accept a scientist without a head, he can enter the First Research Institute of the Special Case Division to preside over the work.
Anyway, after so many years, I don't know how many demons and monsters have been caught in the Special Case Department, and there is no shortage of such a headless person.
It's just that the relationship between Headless City and the corpse is inextricably linked, and it is not just as simple as mutual hatred, but the inevitable connection between the body and the corpse man. In a nutshell, corpses exist, but headless cities exist. The existence of the headless city will also make the corpses wreak havoc.
Don't look at the feud between the two sides, they will pinch when they meet, but if they really count, whoever leaves will not be able to live.
Of course, this is also the information recorded in the human skin manual that Mr. Ji handed over to me, and this is also the main reason why Mr. Ji said that he could not leave alive.
After figuring out this truth, I took a deep look at Mr. Ji. I said, "Mr. Ji, thank you for your great kindness!" If Headless City survives this catastrophe, I'll come back to you one day! Even if you really can't make it out of here alive, I'll find a way to make your life more colorful! ”
Mr. Ji whispered, "Let's go!" Young people, these things are supposed to be what we researchers should do. ”
I nodded slightly, then pinned the burning stick to my waist and climbed up the iron chain with my hands and feet.
The fire in the headless city was raging, and the fire spread down, and the city was basically destroyed. The remaining headless people shivered in the stone house, and the corpse-headed barbarians retreated in fear of the strange fire.
I couldn't help but look into the distance after climbing up half a section, and vaguely saw Corpse Wansui and Xiao Zhong Kui kicking over the three headless brothers and rushing in the direction of the headless peak.
I was furious at the time, these two bastards are really ghostly!
