As soon as the door was opened, I was greeted by a Qing Dynasty female corpse, her face purple and blue, her fingers and nails slender and sharp, her eyes turned up, and her tiger teeth and fangs were very long.

In addition, there was a huge iron ball tied to her foot, and it seemed that she should have been a prisoner in prison before she died.

This kind of evil corpse has no power, as soon as Liang Houzai's evil charm is attached to her head, her body goes limp, and then she collapses on the ground, and her body begins to decay rapidly.

But when the female corpse fell, the scene behind her made us dumbfounded.

Looking out from the door, in the moonlight, there were zombies on the side that could not be seen everywhere I could see, and I took a general look, and these zombies were all purple zombies.

Purple zombie is indeed not difficult to deal with, but such a number is really jaw-dropping, before Hu Nanqian said that there are more than a hundred and ten evil corpses in Wang Er Mazi's ancestral house, but now we are definitely more than this number just seen.

When we opened the door, these zombies probably smelled our anger, and became restless one by one, they walked at a speed that was obviously faster than before, and one of the zombies had already come to the door of the house at this time, Liang Houzai threw out an evil charm, and it was instantly calmed.

Liang Houzai looked at the two fallen purple stiffs, glanced out the door again, and immediately ran to the kang head and pulled the lamp rope and turned off the electric lights in the room.

As soon as the lights went out, I noticed that the zombies outside seemed to be getting a little sluggish, not only did they slow down significantly, but they also seemed to have lost their direction, and many of them who were still walking towards us just now turned around and crashed into other zombies the moment the lights went out.

Liang Houzai ran back to me and said, "Brother Dao, these purple stiffs seem to be phototaxis. ”

When I heard him say this, I realized that at two or three o'clock in the morning, every house in the village turned off the lights, and the only place where there was light was probably our room.

It didn't seem that the reason why they were agitated just now was because they felt angry, but because when we pushed the door open, the light became clearer.

But it's the first time I've heard of such a thing as zombie phototaxis, and I don't know if Zi Zhuang has this characteristic itself.

Liu Shangang took my shoes, I put on my shoes, and took the two of them out of the house, and ran straight towards the small mound about twenty meters away from the fence wall.

After climbing the mound, I realized that the outside of the village was now surrounded by purple zombies, and the number of these zombies was almost incalculable, and they were scattered like dense ant colonies in the fields, mounds, and ravines of the loess slopes outside the village.

I saw that there were still so many holes in the land, and the diameter of the holes was just big enough for an adult to walk through. These zombies seem to have crawled out of the ground.

This piece of land within a radius of ten miles from the small village seems to be a corpse breeding ground covering a huge area.

Strange to say, there were so many zombies outside the village that there was a lot of movement, but the people in the village seemed to be completely inaudible, and the doors of every house were closed, and when I looked at the village, no one turned on the lights.

When a normal person hears something strange near the village, he will definitely get up and take a look.

And the fact that the villagers can react like this seems to prove that they knew what this sound was coming from.

At this time, Liang Houzai said to me worriedly: "There are too many zombies, and there are not enough evil charms. ”

I looked down the hill, and there were no zombies approaching us at this time, and since the lights in the house had gone out, they had been wandering aimlessly around the village, not seeming to be interested in us big living people.

I said to Liang Houzai: "It's okay, I guess I won't need it for a while, these zombies are not interested in us." ”

Liang Houzai also looked down the mountain for a while, then turned his head and asked me, "What now, these zombie towns are still not towns?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Wait and see, if they are still active in the village when the sun comes out, they will have to be calmed down." ”

The dawn of summer comes early, at four o'clock, some light appears in the night sky, and after a while, it is the most active time of the day, the purple zombies inside and outside the village gradually disperse, where do they go back and forth, I have seen many purple zombies drill back into the holes in the ground, what makes me feel incomprehensible is that when these mindless purple zombies retract to the ground, other zombies passing by behind will help them refill the holes.

Walking in the last one, because there were no other zombies to help fill the hole, he did not burrow back to the ground, but went straight into the depths of the ravine of the loess slope, not knowing where to go.

Judging from the behavior of this group of zombies, they seem to be a social group with a detailed division of labor, just like an ant colony.

At five o'clock, the sun rose, and all the purple zombies had disappeared, until the sky was bright, Zhang Laohan hurriedly pushed open the door, he saw the three of us standing on the mound from a distance, so he trotted to the bottom of the mound, and shouted at me: "Why don't you stay in the house and run outside?" ”

I told him directly: "There were a lot of wandering corpses in the village last night. ”

Zhang Laohan winked at me: "You ...... What? ”

I said, "It's zombies." ”

Hearing my words, the expression on Zhang Laohan's face changed a few times, and he asked me very suspiciously: "Isn't it a happy god, why did you become a zombie?" ”

Rejoice?

When Zhang Laohan said these two words, Liang Houzai and I glanced at each other.

The word "happy god" can be said to be extremely familiar to people who chase corpses, although it carries the word "god", but this word does not refer to any gods, but corpses.

I asked Zhang Laohan tentatively: "Grandpa Zhang, what is the happy god you are talking about?" ”

The old man thought for a while and said, "We haven't seen it yet, I don't know what it is, but Mrs. Ma said that Xishen is something that we mortals can't recruit." This village is very remote and strange, and every night there is a lot of joy, and no one outside knows about it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Laohan suddenly had a smile on his face: "Oh, are you dolls happy to see the gods?" You are not mortals, Mrs. Ma said, mortals are dead when they see the god of joy, that is, Da Luo Jinxian is here, and when they meet the god of joy, they must be three points shorter. ”

Da Luo Jin Xian? It's a shame that this horse wife dares to say it!

When he finished speaking, I continued: "Grandpa Zhang, you know these stiff ...... in the village Why doesn't the god hurt people? ”

"Oh, come on, come in, come in, show you something." Zhang Laohan said as he walked towards his bedroom.

The three of us went down the mound and followed him into the house, and he pointed to the door beam of the house and said, "That's it, Mrs. Ma asked every family to put one in it, saying that it was for the purpose of preventing joy." At that time, there were a few young and strong people in the village who refused to let go, and all of them had accidents. ”

I looked in the direction of Zhang Laohan's finger, and I saw a very thick silver needle inlaid on the door frame, the needle was about a foot long, and the little mother's finger was as thick, at first glance it looked like a slender rolling pin, but there were some curse marks tattooed on the silver needle.

Liang Houzai whispered to me on the side: "It's the curse mark of the corpse chaser." ”

In fact, when Zhang Laohan said the word "happy god", I had a hunch that Ma's wife was related to the corpse chaser.

I nodded at Liang Houzai, and asked Zhang Laohan again: "When did that Ma Shenpo come to the village, where is her house, can I go and see?" ”

Zhang Laohan said: "Yo, she came early, she was in this village when I was a child." Her family lives opposite Wang Er Mazi's ancestral house, a lonely mountain and a lonely house in that place, and you will see it when you go. Hey, don't go out and play yet, it's time to eat later, eat first. ”

While the old man was talking, his wife lifted the curtain and went to the kitchen.

A few of us didn't want to excuse ourselves, so we washed up and waited for dinner.

This morning, Zhang Laohan and his wife heated the steamed buns, and then heated the dumplings that they didn't finish last night, simply made a few steamed buns, and made spicy soup.

After we had breakfast, we went to the ancestral house of Wang Er Mazi. Before leaving, I brought the Qinggang Sword and Fantian Seal, and asked Liu Shangang to carry his big backpack.

I plan to simply take advantage of the fact that the old house is in trouble today, and in the remaining few days, I can help Zhang Laohan clean up his house, busy with farm work or something, the old husband and wife, it is not easy to live in the village.

Out of the village entrance to the east, I first went to the ravine under the loess slope to take a look, this place is the place where the last purple zombie settled.

The depths of the ravine were very dark, and after we reached in, Liu Shangang took out a flashlight and shone it at the bottom of the ravine.

With the beam of the flashlight, I found that there were a large number of corpses piled up at the bottom of the ravine, and almost every corpse showed dense patches of patches of patches, which were the marks caused by the deposition of corpse gas.

It is certain that the corpses here are all from evil corpses.

In this corpse, I also saw the purple zombie that appeared in the village in the early morning, and the corpse qi on its body had dissipated a lot at this time, and it was about to turn into an ordinary corpse.

Liang Houzai squatted on the ground, pinched a small pinch of soil and put it on his nose to smell it, and then said to me: "The soil here has been touched by people, and I can't feel Kunqi." ”

I see.

At night, these zombies are exposed to the moonlight, nourished by the moonlight, which can also ensure that the corpse gas does not disperse, and during the day, they bury themselves in the ground, which can also prevent the corpse gas from leaking. But once there is no moonlight, no soil protection, and not enough Kun Qi to replenish the corpse qi that is constantly emitted from the body, these purple zombies have only one way to die.

Liang Houzai stood up, clapped his hands, and said to me: "It seems that every time these purple zombies go out collectively at night, when the next day is about to dawn, one of them will choose to sacrifice themselves. But there is one thing that I can't understand, how these mindless purple zombies formed such a social group. ”

I shook my head and said, "Who can explain this kind of thing, let's go to Ma Shenpo's house and have a look, maybe we can find the answer in her house." ”
