163 The Narrow Road Meets the Corpse Soldiers
Liu Shuya didn't find Liu Fatzi and the three of them, but he saw the corpses of several strangers floating in the dark river, and he checked carefully, it was the corpse of the group of tomb robbers he saw when he first entered the tomb. The tomb collapsed, and the corpses fell into the underground river, where they were washed away. It shows that the dark river here is the downstream of the dark river under the tomb.
This was in line with Liu Shuya's previous expectations, and this situation gave him great encouragement.
Therefore, Liu Shuya carefully searched the surroundings again, and still found no trace of the three companions, but he saw the environment more clearly.
The trail by the dark river starts next to the Nanzhao Iron Pillar, which is the deepest part of the canyon underneath. There is a rock wall here, and the dark river flows out of a large cave under the rock wall, passes through the Nanzhao Iron Pillar, and goes downstream.
Thinking about it, there is a lot of space in the cave in the upper reaches of the dark river, which should be the bottom of the tomb road of the ancient tomb in Dali, and Liu Fatzi and the three of them fell into the cave.
The three of them, dead or alive, should have been swept into the canyon by the current, so they should have appeared near here.
If it doesn't appear nearby, it is being swept further downstream by the current. Or it is possible that they climbed ashore on their own and went downstream.
Therefore, Liu Shuya had no other choice but to go down the river to find his partners.
He was a little tired at the moment, and he also had multiple external injuries on his body, although he did not hurt the vital points, but he was still uncomfortable. So I didn't rush forward, but let my body rest for a while moving slowly. I don't know what kind of predicament I will encounter before, and I must conserve my strength.
The canyon is long and narrow, but it winds and twists, and the path twists and turns like a snake. The dark river on the side of the road also twisted around, and it really had the meaning of nine bends and eighteen bends.
The most frightening thing about traveling in such a canyon is that there are too many bends, and when you turn the next one, you don't know what you will encounter.
Liu Shuya made more than a dozen turns along the trail along the flowing water, and after turning a big bend of nearly 90 degrees again, he suddenly found three backs appearing in front of the trail.
Liu Shuya was overjoyed in his heart, and "Fat ......" blurted out, but as soon as the shout came out, Liu Shuya regretted it, immediately stopped, took a few steps back in a panic, and hid behind the rock wall, leaving only half of his head to stick out to observe the movements of the three people in front.
Just now he was looking for people, and when he saw three figures, he thought they were his companions, and shouted out without thinking.
He had forgotten all about the zombie army that everyone had deduced before. Seeing that it was three people, he quickly said hello. Due to the emotion, the voice is not small.
But after shouting, he realized that something was wrong.
His three companions, except for Liu Fatzi, who has a big waist and a round waist, although Yue Lin is taller, he has a well-proportioned figure and a slender waist. The slight is even more petite.
And the three backs in front of him are all stronger than Liu Fatzi, with big shoulders and round waists, and they are taller.
These are definitely not Liu Shuya's three companions.
If it is not a companion, then under this underground, as long as it can move, it should be an enemy.
Liu Shuya still had a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that it was three stone statues.
But the reality is cruel, where is there such a good thing.
When Liu Shuya hid behind the rock and stretched out his head to look, the three backs also moved.
Liu Shuya secretly exclaimed in his heart that it was bad.
The three men turned their heads to look in his direction. The movement of turning his head is really scary.
Ordinary people turn their heads behind them, turn their heads 90 degrees, and turn their bodies 90 degrees to see the people and things behind them.
These three "benevolent brothers" are very real, turning their heads is turning their heads, and their heads are really turned one hundred and eighty degrees, but their bodies do not move at all.
They are not afraid of breaking their necks, and a living person will never be able to do it.
When Liu Shuya saw this situation, he knew that this was not a living person.
Then the head turned around, both inlaid with two miserable white eyes, under the light of the everlasting lamp, the three pairs of eyes reflected a white and godless ghostly light.
There must be zombies.
The three zombies didn't know if they had found Liu Shuya, but after they turned their heads one hundred and eighty degrees and stared straight in the direction of Liu Shuya for five minutes, they seemed to smell the smell of the living, and their dry throats made a terrible gurgling sound, and then their heads did not move, but their bodies turned around, and then they walked stiffly towards Liu Shuya.
Their steps were heavy, and their movements were slow and stiff, so Liu Shuya was not in a hurry to escape.
He hid behind the rock wall and checked the other man's appearance.
The three zombies came closer, and under a bright lamp, Liu Shuya saw each other's appearance more clearly.
The zombie's face is no different from those living dead people I have seen before, and they are wearing ancient clothes, so they must be ancient corpses, covered in armor, with a high figure, and they are soldiers when they are alive and corpse soldiers when they die.
They walk with a heavy and uniform pace, which shows that they are well-trained when they are alive, and they retain their majesty when they are alive after death.
No wonder the tomb robbers at the top of the tomb died so miserably, if they met these few, I am afraid that they would die without complaining.
Before Liu Shuya could make a move with them, he felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the other party.
What's more strange is that these three people are also different from the zombies that Liu Shuya has seen before.
The zombies I have seen before are all stiff and dry on their bodies, and they have no ordinary human blood.
Although these three zombies are also stiff and dry, without ordinary human blood, but for some reason, many rattan-like things have grown on their bodies, which are densely clinging to their bodies, looking thick and hard.
Zombies have hair on their bodies, that's a common thing, there are white hair, black hair, and even blood red hair. However, it is rare for this rattan to grow the thickness of a finger, and it is all over the body except for the head.
Rattan sprouted through the cracks in their clothes and armor, and it appeared to be covered underneath the clothing. These strips were like another layer of armor within the iron armor, covering the zombies.
This kind of zombie is really rare.
And this rattan-like thing also grows out of one of their hands and coils it into a disc, as if they hold a shield woven of rattan in their hands.
Strangely enough, they do not have such a shield on their other hand, so they can be used to hold a spear, or carry a long knife.
These corpse soldiers held a rattan shield in one hand and a blade in the other, and they were majestic when they looked at them.
The three-person corpse team slowly crushed over, and Liu Shuya was really a little weak in his heart. It's not that I'm afraid, but after all, the other party is a fully armed and well-trained weird corpse soldier in the Cold Weapon Era, even if it is dead, its lethality is only three points stronger than when it was alive.
Liu Shuya was completely unprepared at the moment, and his hands were empty-handed like a lost dog.
How can this battle be fought?
Defeated.
Liu Shuya is very contradictory, if he moves forward, he is probably not an opponent. If you retreat, you won't be able to retreat much, and there will still be a dead end behind you.
What can I do?
He pondered for a while, and his heart was ruthless, and he was going to rush over.
After all, the opponent is slow, and he may be able to use his speed to break through.
Having made up his mind, he began to figure out how to break through.
Now the plan is to wait for the other party to gradually get closer to him, and at the moment when the other party is about to find himself, he surprises and acts at the opportunity, rushes through the gap between the three people, uses his speed, throws them away, and then flees downstream.
Liu Shuya had just made up his mind, but found that the movement over there had changed a little, and the footsteps of the corpse soldiers became heavier and heavier, and they began to be a little messy.
Liu Shuya felt strange, and then stretched out his head to take a look, and this look scared him even more.
The three corpses had moved closer to his hiding place.
This is still second, behind them, somehow, dozens of corpse soldiers with the same appearance actually appeared, three in a row, standing in a staggered line, and the pace was neatly pressed towards Liu Shuya's hideout.
Liu Shuya's abacus once again failed.
Even if he relied on his speed advantage to pass through the front three corpses, it was difficult to continue to rush forward, so not only could he not get out, but he would be trapped in a heavy encirclement, which was much more dangerous than fighting against the water.
What can I do? It's a desperate situation again.
The corpse soldiers got closer and closer, and Liu Shuya was forced to retreat, he tried to push back a little as much as possible, planning to find another way while retreating.
But his footsteps brought out some movement, and I don't know why, those corpse soldiers actually had such a strong perception, and immediately confirmed the existence of Liu Shuya, their footsteps became faster, and the gurgling movements in their throats became more and more high-pitched and excited.
Liu Shuya knew that he had been discovered, so he didn't care about the weight of the soles of his feet, turned around and fled.
The corpse soldiers behind turned the corner and had already seen Liu Shuya, and they rushed directly towards Liu Shuya.
Liu Shuya ran away with his life, but turning back is a dead end, where can he run?
If he continues like this, he can only live a few more minutes, so what's the point?
Liu Shuya turned his head to look behind him while running, and the corpse soldiers were all burly, full of anger, with empty eyes and murderous aura.
He thought in his heart, if it was one-on-one, it would be better, even if it was one-on-two, there might be a chance of winning, but how could this team of corpse soldiers fight?
I can't fight if I fight, I can't hide but I can't hide, what should I do?
Liu Shuya was running, thinking and looking around.
The eyes fell on the current.
"I wonder if these guys know how to water?"
Thinking of this, Liu Shuya's direction of running immediately leaned towards the dark river, and after a few steps to the dark river, he planned to jump into the river.
But somehow, it seems that the adjustment of his movement route betrays the intentions.
Among those corpse soldiers, there were two guys who looked like generals, who looked stronger than the rest of the corpse soldiers, they lowered their bodies while running, and then jumped up suddenly, as if flying, and without waiting for Liu Shuya to implement the plan to fall into the water, they jumped directly into the water in front of Liu Shuya, cutting off Liu Shuya's attempt to jump.
To be exact, they landed on the water in front of Liu Shuya.
The two corpse generals actually floated on the water, stepped on the water, and would not sink, and the long knife in their hands was cut down right at Liu Shuya.
This surprised Liu Shuya, and the way to dive into the water was blocked by a machete.
Fortunately, the two corpse generals were a little far away, and Liu Shuya did not plunge into the water, so the knives they swung did not cut Liu Shuya's body.
He had to adjust his body, change direction, and continue to run deeper into the canyon. The moment he turned around, he almost fell into the water.
From the deepest part of the canyon, that is, the Nanzhao Iron Pillar where Liu Shuya entered the canyon, the distance to where Liu Shuya met the corpse soldiers was not too far, and Liu Shuya couldn't run for a while, and then he was in the end.
A group of corpse soldiers chased after him, and the two corpse generals around him actually ran parallel to him directly in the water to chase and kill.
Such a battle completely forced Liu Shuya into a desperate situation.
Seeing that he had reached the end of the canyon, Liu Shuya knew that there was no way to escape this time, and a sense of desolation at the end of the hero arose.
