Chapter 39: Inquiry
"They look like the living dead, except that their eyes are purple, and their heads are a little big, and their bodies are a little bloated, as if something inside them is holding them up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Purple eyes, purple like this?"
After Xia Qi finished speaking, he saw that his appearance began to change slightly, and his original black pupils were gradually replaced by a strange purple.
"Yes, that's the color!"
Hongguo nodded in dismay.
"I didn't expect that even that kind of living dead person has a demon-level existence, if you say bloated, it should be that there are two or more remnant souls fused in the body.
It seems that these remnant souls are not incapable of merging. ”
Xia Qi thought about it for a while, and said his guess. Hongguo didn't understand with a blank face, but nodded symbolically, and then added:
"That kind of thing doesn't usually come out, and even when the sky turns bloody, you don't always see it.
There are very few of them, and even if they appear, they usually won't attack you as long as you don't provoke them. ”
"Aren't they also the living dead, why don't they attack survivors?"
"I don't know why, I just think they're weird, I've seen them once, and I saw two of those ghosts, jumping desperately, and then their mouths opened and closed very quickly in mid-air as if they were biting something."
"Jumping hard, and then opening and closing your mouth?"
"Yes, like that."
Hongguo then jumped a few times hard, giving Xia Qi a rough imitation.
Xia Qi saw the appearance of the red fruit, and suddenly a thought was born in his heart, those living dead people should not want to swallow something, right?
This bloody night seemed very strange to Xia Qi.
The strange thing is that this ghost town itself is already an airtight existence, and if the living dead want to destroy the survivors in the town, they don't need to wait until the bloody night to start, unless the appearance of this bloody night can stimulate the remnants in their bodies.
Makes the remnant more active and brutal.
Or maybe it's the remnants of the souls that haven't yet burrowed into the bodies of the living dead.
Xia Qi suddenly had the idea of going out for a walk, although it was a bit risky, but he felt that this bloody night might let him know something.
But if Wu Di and Hongguo were left here, it would undoubtedly be very unsafe if the living dead found them here again.
Since it's not safe anyway, it's better to take them with you, at least he still has the ability to teleport, it's really not a big deal to escape with the two of them.
"I want to go to the area where the living dead are."
After a short period of weighing, Xia Qi said his thoughts to Hongguo.
"Brother Xia, are you going to the living dead? That's very dangerous. ”
After hearing Xia Qi's plan, Hongguo seemed very incomprehensible.
"Have you ever wondered why the living dead invade in large numbers every time the sky turns to blood?"
"Because the night is weird, maybe it's irritating them."
Hongguo didn't expect Xia Qi to suddenly ask her this, so she subconsciously replied.
"The bodies of the living dead contain terrible remnants, and there are many of them, they are not afraid of sunlight, and most importantly they are almost non-conscious.
If there is no consciousness, how can we act in unison because of changes in the environment? ”
"Brother Xia means that those living dead have consciousness?"
"It's possible, and what I want to say, is that there are so many living dead that they can invade every day and hunt down survivors, but they obviously don't do that.
It was only after the sky turned bloody that he began to do so. So I wondered, could they not be for an invasion, but just for escape? ”
"Escape? Why are they fleeing? ”
"I'm just guessing, and because I can't think of a reason, I want to check it out.
We can't just think about living here, after all, we can find a way out of here. ”
"I see."
Hongguo didn't say anything anymore, nodded obediently, and put on an obedient appearance.
"Then come with me, I'll protect you."
Grabbing Hongguo, Xia Qi directly teleported to the path outside, Hongguo was surprised that she could come outside in the blink of an eye, but before she could say anything, Xia Qi disappeared from the same place, and then appeared a hundred meters away.
This is already the limit distance of his teleportation, about more than a hundred meters, and the suppression of his strength has also greatly affected his teleportation ability.
There was no further attempt to teleport, and Xia Qi reminded Hongguo that they had walked through the more secluded alleys.
There are a lot of alleys in the town, and almost all of them are narrow except for a few main roads.
These alleys are densely packed with each other, crisscrossing each other, like a labyrinth.
Hongguo told Xia Qi that there are many survivors who will deliberately hide in the alley when they are hiding from the living dead, so that it is easy to throw the living dead away.
When the living dead can't find it after looking for a while, they will give up looking and choose to leave.
At first, Xia Qi and Hongguo did not see the living dead again, but as they got closer to the area occupied by the living dead, the number of living dead suddenly increased.
These living dead were like wandering spirits, staggering along the main road, and there were more than a dozen of them.
Fortunately, the living dead staggered around for a while, and then went their separate ways.
Waiting for the living dead to leave, Xia Qi grabbed the red fruit and teleported directly to the area where the living dead were.
The area where the living dead are located is like a border between a town and a country compared to where they were before.
Everywhere there are dilapidated huts, some with yards, others just small mud houses.
However, there were many houses, one next to the other, and the living dead usually stayed in these houses, occasionally wandering around the neighborhood.
When Xia Qi was devouring the living dead before, he took a complete turn around the town.
So there is some understanding of the size of this area and what exists in it.
Indeed, just as Hongguo had told him at the beginning, he had been walking along the area where the living dead were, but in the end he had returned to where he had left off.
But he didn't have any strange feelings in the process, as if he was walking in a straight line.
There are many reasons for this, there may be a powerful psychedelic array, or it may be that it is sealed, and of course it is possible that the space is constantly moving, in short, there are many reasons, and it is difficult to determine.
Because a large number of living dead have left here, Xia Qi also tried to release the ghost domain to the greatest extent, under his control, the ghost domain turned into a line, and then like a long snake, began to travel extremely fast between the various earthen houses.
Xia Qi and Hongguo did not forget to continue to move forward cautiously, perhaps sensing the existence of his ghost domain, in a few small earthen houses behind them, several hideous-looking living dead suddenly rushed out, and then let out a roar like a beast from their mouths, and rushed towards them extremely quickly.
