Chapter 019: The Land of the Dead (Revision)
Dark clouds cover the sun, and the sky turns dark.
The wind howled through the mountains and forests, wading through the river, raging in Yuyang Town, rolling up thatch and dust, adding to the sense of desolation.
The originally noisy and prosperous town of the Chu Dynasty is now like an abandoned dead town, and all kinds of things on the streets are scattered around, covered with dust and thatch, and are in disarray.
The doors of the shops on both sides are some closed and some are wide open, the tables, chairs and benches are crooked, and everything looks chaotic.
The tributaries of the Nu River, which runs through the town of Yuyang, are stained with broken boats floating and dirty.
And the most striking thing is the blood that can be seen everywhere.
Most of this blood has long since dried up and blackened, proving that it has been around for a long time.
However, no one was found, or ...... Corpse.
The wind blew, and a disgusting stench filled the air.
The group came on horseback, and when they entered Yuyang Town, they all smelled this unbearable smell, and they all frowned and glanced around.
The person at the head was Wei Wuyin, who was dressed in white and purple, followed by more than thirty factory guards, and a first-class master close to the grandmaster.
"It's a stench coming from the corpse." Wei Wu said gloomily.
It's just that since they stepped into the vicinity of Yuyang Town, they haven't seen a single corpse along the way, at most there are only some blood stains that have long been blackened and dried up.
And this stench is definitely emanating from the corpse. Wei Wuyin felt that following this foul smell, he should be able to find some clues.
Immediately, they headed in the direction where the stench was blowing.
In the corner of Yuyang Town, the Dajiang Gang Mansion comes from here.
Unlike the rest of the town, it was filled with figures, their heads bowed and their arms dangling, as if wandering aimlessly, like walking corpses.
Most of these figures were ragged and bloodstained. Looking through the tattered clothes, you can see the bodies of these figures, all of which have hideous and terrible wounds, black and rotten, and even maggots wriggling back and forth at the wounds, devouring the rotting dead flesh.
Occasionally, there was a sound of movement, and these figures raised their heads lower, revealing the faces of dead people who were pale and blue, with blood all over their cheeks, and some wounds were pus and rotten, mixed with blood dripping down drops, but they seemed to be unaware.
With the sound of some horses' hooves, these figures were all alarmed, and they rushed in unison in the direction from which the sound came.
……
"The air of death is sky-high, the smell of corpses is spreading, it seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, and this place has really become a place of death."
Zhou Zheng, who was wearing an ink shirt, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Yuyang Town in front of him, his tone seemed light and light, and he was not surprised by what he saw in front of him.
Before he left, he secretly left behind the Dajiang Gang, which was the twelve black zombies that he had refined. He also deliberately made a stiff control bell and handed it over to a person like Jiang Hailong who had no mana to control it, in case of a possible attack from Dongchang.
After all, Dongchang is comparable to the power of Shaolin Wudang, and there is the backing of the imperial court behind it, and it is not comparable to the forces of the rivers and lakes alone.
Sure enough, Dongchang sent a master and a group of factory guards to come, and also found out that Wei Lun died in the Dajiang Gang, and the two sides immediately became incompatible and fought each other.
In the end, the Dajiang Gang and the master factory guards who came from the East Factory died together.
All of this was actually expected by Zhou Zheng.
When he controlled the high-level core of the Dajiang Gang, he knew that one of them was a secret agent of the East Factory, so he laid out the plan behind him to attract the masters of the East Factory or Wei Zhongxian to come and fall into his trap.
As long as Jiang Hailong dies, the twelve black zombies do not have the control of the zombie bell, and if they are disturbed by external factors, they will go berserk and lose control, and attack anyone who comes close to them wildly.
If you are scratched and bitten by a black zombie, you will be infected with corpse poison, and over time, you will become a walking dead living dead, also known as a zombie, but it is the lowest type of zombie.
Once this zombie encounters a living person, it will attack endlessly, even if they have severed hands and feet, they will not die immediately, unless their heads and hearts are destroyed, or they are dismembered by someone, and they will die completely.
Because they have no thoughts and senses of a living person, they are left with the most basic eating instincts, biting and sucking blood.
It's a pity that Zhou Zheng learned that Wei Zhongxian did not appear in the Dajiang Gang, but was just a third-gear head.
"Well, there is no such thing as perfection in the world. Although he failed to plot against Wei Zhongxian, he also broke off the three capable generals under his command, plus many factory guards, and the East Factory was also seriously injured this time. I'm afraid that in the short term, there will be no more major movements. During this period, I first swallowed the resources possessed by the entire rivers and lakes, and then dealt with Dongchang and the imperial court, and the entire Chu Dynasty was also in my pocket at that time. ”
Zhou Zheng has a strict and thorough plan, step by step, step by step.
Having died once, he acted more cautiously than when he was cultivating in the Immortal Realm, especially during the current period when his cultivation was low, and he had to plan carefully to reduce the possibility of facing a threat to his life. After all, in the mundane world, there are many beings and things that can kill him.
As a demon, if you want to live a long time and seek eternal life, you must do so.
Slowly, Zhou Zheng put away these thoughts, took the blood slave and blood stiffened, and stepped into Yuyang Town, starting his plan to come this time.
"Let me see how many zombies can be born in this land of the dead......"
……
A corner of Long Street.
The dense zombie figures, with disgusting and oozing strange screams from their mouths, pounced towards a group of living people.
This group of living people is the Dongchang force headed by Wei Wuyin.
The original team of more than 30 people was only about a dozen people left at the moment.
One by one, they held their swords, their bodies were covered in blood, their eyes were red, their faces could not hide their exhaustion, and they looked angrily at the zombie figures that kept surging in the distance.
Underfoot, there was a scattered corpse, blood mixed with a foul smell, some of their own, and more from zombies.
The white fashion on Wei Wuyin's body was gone, his purple clothes were stained with blood, he held two knives in his hands, and his face was a little gloomy.
"Sure enough, it's some monsters that don't live or die, but I don't know what caused them to become like this......"
He guessed in his heart, but he did not ignore the situation in the outside world. Half of the factory guards brought in at the moment died at the hands of these monsters, and there are so many of these monsters that it is not appropriate to stay here, so it is better to withdraw from this place first and then think of other ways.
In essence, he had already roughly deduced in his mind that these monsters were definitely from the hidden characters or forces behind the Great River Gang. And in the mansion of the Great River Gang, it is very likely that relevant clues will be found.
Thinking of this, Wei Wuyin had a plan and ordered the others.
"Withdraw."
Immediately, he waved his double knives, intertwined into a piece of sword light, which was mixed with superb internal force, and in an instant, countless sharp knife qi slashed forward, and those zombie figures that pounced were cut to pieces by countless knife qi one by one, and blood plasma and broken bones were scattered all over the sky, as if a blood rain.
After his blow, he instantly cleared a clearing, slowing down the speed of the zombie chasing.
With a cold snort, he turned his head and jumped out, and began to chase after the retreating centaurs.
