Chapter 40: Dead Vines and Old Trees, Dead Crows
There is no blood on the zombie pig's body, and its flesh and skin seem to have been roasted, and it can be eaten directly in the mouth. Thinking of the fire on the mountain, this zombie pig must have been baptized by the mountain fire.
The real pig is not afraid of fire, this zombie pig with extremely tenacious vitality survived the flames, maybe it can be cultivated into essence after dozens or hundreds of years, but it is a pity that now it has fallen into a thousand years of hatred, and it has fallen from the mountain, and its pig life ideal has been shattered.
The second dog smashes it, smashes it, and smashes it.
This is pure wild boar. It's just that the taste is a bit old, full of the flavor of history.
The second dog's belly was bulging, and it wagged its tail and followed behind Gray.
Gray seems to have given up on the idea of driving away the second dog. He touched his head and carefully examined the dead boar.
"The flesh is black, the eyes are red, and the body of this pork has been ossified for a long time."
"The danger here is from birth, the corpse is rampant, it can't be eradicated for a while, it seems that we have to think about it in the long run!"
Gray did not choose to continue his cross-legged practice, he walked down the mountain, and before the night fell, he came to the village.
There is a sign hanging on the village with three big characters written on it: "Heishui Village".
There was a small river next to the village, and the water was dark and stench. The small river flows through the side of the mountain, and its source is on the other side of the mountain.
There is a row of obstacles connected by wooden horses at the doorway. The village is lifeless, and the streets are littered with abandoned wooden chairs and tables.
"It's dry!
Clang!
A watchman beat gongs and drums, and he walked through the village, shouting as he went.
"Watch out for the corpses!"
Clang!
The husband had a wooden stick tied around his waist, and his voice trembled.
"Brother, do you know where to rest?" Gray grimaced, his large hand clapping on the groom's shoulder.
Under the light of the lantern, Gray's face became extremely eerie.
"Ahhh The husband suddenly received this beat, and he immediately screamed.
Is it that scary? Gray watched as the groom fled far away, and he touched his head.
The screams of the gentry drew an old man in a gray robe.
The old man's face was full of spots, and he looked like he was respectable, and he walked from the road.
"You're finally here!" The white-bearded old man soon saw Gray. "Brave men, please come in."
Gray didn't hear the meaning of the word "we", he snorted:
"I'm not a strong man, I'm a Taoist!"
"Please come with me, strong men." The old man ignored Gray's words and pointed to an old mansion behind him.
Woohoo?
The second dog's front paw was grabbed by the old man, and it was dragged into the old mansion, and Gray followed him.
There was an old tree planted next to the old house, and a dead vine was wrapped around the trunk of the old tree, and a dead crow hung from the branch of the old tree. The crow's body emitted a foul stench, and two worms emerged from its rotting eye sockets.
"Thank you for your help." The old man touched his beard.
"Two strong men?" Gray looked back, and there was no one behind him. He didn't understand who the second strong man the old man was referring to.
The second dog was lying on the ground, it licked its front paws, and the old man's grip just now directly scratched its paws.
The six survivors who came to Heishui Village before were all received by this old man. They are all in the old mansion at the moment.
The old man told them about Blackwater's past.
A month ago, a plague broke out in Heishui Village, and only about 50 people died in the village with a total population of four or five hundred people. The bodies of the villagers were buried in a hollow across the mountain.
And five days ago, a corpse mutiny broke out in Heishui Village, which was already hit hard by the plague. One man was mysteriously poisoned, and he suddenly burst out and killed and wounded seven people, and finally fled into a mass grave across the mountain.
Now there are only forty-two people left alive in Heishui Village. The vast village was now empty, dead silent.
In addition to the husband, he is also bold, and he will come out every night to inspect the situation in the village. The rest of the villagers were all hiding in the ancestral hall behind the old house, and they kept praying every day that their ancestors would bless them and let them survive this disaster safely.
"That's what happened to us in Blackwater Village lately." The old man said, "Do you have any questions?" ”
Zhang Xiang boldly asked, "Old man, where are the seven people who were bitten to death?" ”
"Their bodies are in the mortuary in Blackwater Village. The mortuary is at the end of the village. It's half a mile away. The old man touched his beard. I'm going to sleep, and if there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me tomorrow. ”
He pushed open the back door of the old mansion and walked into a small house next to the ancestral hall. This cottage is a resting place for the elderly.
After the old man left, one of the survivors said, "This old man should be a character arranged in the trial space, and he, like the other villagers, is not a real human in reality. It's just used to tell the background of Blackwater. ”
The survivor's name is Yang Buwei. His hair was messy, his eyes were black circles, and he looked overindulgent.
This was the first time Yang Buwei had come to the trial space, and he was able to give this kind of judgment, which showed that he still had some talent as a survivor.
Hearing Yang Buwei say this, the three survivors behind him also nodded in agreement. They were the first survivors to escape into Blackwater Village, and they were more familiar with the environment of Blackwater Village than the other survivors.
There is a black light curtain on the door of the ancestral hall.
"Look at my sword!"
Gray walked over, slashed his sword at the light curtain, and his sword was bounced back.
"This black light curtain may be set up in the trial space, and we can't get in." Zhang Xiang remembered that the last time he participated in the survival trial, he also encountered a similar black light curtain.
"Really?" Gray said incredulously, and he put away his peachwood sword.
"Wow!"
It's that person!
The second dog saw Zhang Xiang, and it barked excitedly a few times.
The appearance of the second dog is very different from the last time Zhang Xiang saw it. The fur of the second dog was dyed gray by the grass and trees, and his body was also a lot thinner than before.
"Ahh
Zhang Xiang had already seen a dog behind Gray, but he didn't recognize Ergou, but was startled by Ergou's sudden barking.
"Shut up! A dog with a broken spine dares to bark here! Gray was very domineering, he struck down with a sword, and smashed a bag directly on the head of the second dog.
It's a madman!
The second dog barked a few times, and it hid behind Zhang Xiang aggrievedly. Zhang Xiang's smell is similar to Gray's, and the second dog must of course follow behind someone who is better to him.
Zhang Xiang lifted the black-framed glasses between his eyebrows, and he reached out and touched Ergou's head.
"Good dog, don't be afraid."
The husband walked in from the outside, and when he saw the people in the old mansion, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran through the black light curtain and into the ancestral hall.
Zhang Xiang saw the surprised expression of the husband, and the expression on the husband's face made Zhang Xiang feel that he was a living person. Zhang Xiang looked at the survivors around him, and then lowered his head, he didn't say what was in his heart.
Zhang Xiang raised his wrist, and the electronic watch could still work as usual.
He looked at the time of the electronic watch on his wrist.
It's 6:47 p.m. Zhang Xiang thought in his heart that it would be seven o'clock in another twenty-three minutes.
The candlelight of the old house flickered, and gusts of cold wind blew in through the door. There was a cold silence in the air.
"The soldier is fast, who wants to go with me to purify the mass grave and get rid of that corpse demon?" Gray stood up suddenly, he touched the peach blossom sword, and said solemnly.
