"You're right." Hearing this, the Ninth Master nodded, and then said to me very calmly: "A corpse, to say the least, will cost more than 100 catties, and it may be heavier after embalming, but have you ever thought about how much a person's limbs and head can weigh together?" ”

"What do you mean?" As soon as this came out, I seemed to understand, but out of caution I still asked.

"You should be able to guess that although this corpse is heavy, the heaviest place is on the torso, and the corpse is the most perishable, for convenience, many corpse chasers will dismember the transported corpse before departure, the zombie you see is actually an incomplete corpse, under the cover of his coat is actually straw and other filling, usually, only the corpse's head, hands and feet are real."

"Damn, this is too lacking in morality!" When Xiao Fat heard this, he immediately grinned, and then scolded and said that those corpse chasers damaged Yin Virtue, and when the Ninth Master heard this, he waved his hand: "This can't be blamed on them, they don't do this, many corpses only have the share of guest death, the Chinese pay attention to a fallen leaf to return to the roots, although it hurts the flesh, but also returns his wish." ”

"Then, aren't they afraid that their families will find out if they do this?" Thinking of the appearance of those corpse chasers chopping hands and stomping feet around a corpse, I felt nauseous, and the ninth master laughed twice after hearing it, "Haha, since you were born, most of the cremation in the northern region has been implemented, and there are some rituals and taboos that you don't know, when you are buried, relatives can't see the remains up close, even if you can see it, you don't have the courage to open the corpse and look underneath, and most of the burial ceremonies are presided over by the fake Taoist priests who have returned from driving the corpses, as long as they are not too stupid, anyone can do it seamlessly." ”

"Oh." Nodding, I was quite emotional, this is a long knowledge, I really didn't think that the mysterious activity of chasing corpses would be like this

"Wait, that's not right." As he walked, Jiu Ye suddenly stopped, and then took a flashlight and looked around with a very shocked look.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, I said.

"Look here, why is the grass all black?" Jiu Ye said, took the flashlight and looked carefully, the sky is not yet bright, the light source of the flashlight is very special, in such a situation I really didn't notice the color change around me, listening to him say this, I walked to the side, lowered my head and looked carefully, sure enough, the wild grass around has changed from the yellow and green variegated color to a staggering dark brown

"Be careful, there may be something here." The ninth master said, untied the backpack and took out the compass inside, as soon as the compass was taken out, the inner disk on it swished and turned, and at this moment, everyone was nervous, and it was a person who could see that there was something extraordinary here.

"Isn't that the stuff coming back?" With a flick of my hand, the measuring ruler was held in the palm of my hand, and the three of us were back to back in a corner.

"Probably not." The ninth master said, looking around very cautiously, the breeze was blowing, and there was nothing abnormal, at this time, Xiao Fat, who was holding a flashlight everywhere, suddenly exclaimed: "Look, what is that?!" ”

"It's like a hand." Looking along the pillar of light of his flashlight, he saw a blue-black claw in the grass on the side, the claw was similar to a human palm, but the color was very dark, and it didn't appear to be festering for some years, on the contrary, the claw on the corpse actually had a very long fingertip, the nail didn't grow straight out like in the movie, it had a little curvature, and the middle position had been curled, visually, this thing had absolutely no substantial killing ability.

Courageous, I walked over, opened the grass to see, there was a corpse with long hair lying in the grass on the side of the road, the corpse did not know how many years had been dead, crumpled like a mummy, a rag wrapped around the body like dried cow dung on the body, and the color of his body was somewhat close, the flesh on his body was long gone, and there were some beetles with shiny shells crawling around in the dense holes on the body with a flashlight.

"Damn, it's this thing again." When Chubby saw it, he looked at me quite helplessly.

"It's better than a female ghost, at least, it won't stand up and bite." I said, squatted down to look at his hand, the flashlight came in only to find that I suddenly found that a layer of fine and dense black fluff grew on this guy's arm, because the hair was very fine, I couldn't see it if I didn't look carefully, I tilted my head and looked at it for a long time, and I actually had a sense of déjà vu This look, but it is very similar to the cat-faced female corpse that has a lot of relationship with me.

"Ninth Master, you say, is this a zombie?" Touching my chin and looking at it, I was wondering how capable such a terrible corpse would be, from the point of view of common sense, when a corpse decomposes to this kind of process, his physical attack power can basically be ignored. But I'm not sure how capable he will be, after all, there are always some unknown possibilities for similar things in this world of monsters.

"That's right, this is supposed to be a zombie, you see, after being dead for so long, his nails and hair still haven't stopped growing, this is a sign of becoming a zombie." The Ninth Master said, squatting beside the zombie and looking, and then used his peachwood sword to pick it out of the ragged clothes like cow dung, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after making sure that this thing did not have the possibility of jumping up immediately: "When we leave, we have to deal with this place, and it will definitely be a disaster for the future." ”

"Does he still have a chance to stand up?" As soon as I heard this, I said.

"Yes, zombies are actually a large range, zombies who have just died, and zombies who have been dead for thousands of years, these two things are different, the former has flesh and blood and relies on limbs to pounce on people, and the latter are mostly corpse demons with Taoism, they have no flesh and blood, only bones, green tendons, corpse hair plus some zombie gas, this kind of thing is the most difficult to deal with. And now, it is in the stage of transformation from the former to the latter, its muscles and muscles have rotted, and it is temporarily unable to stand up and bite others, but in a few decades, its rotten flesh and blood will gradually melt into the bones and then produce a new circulatory system, and at that time a kind of cow-like tendon will be born from the bones, and the corpse hair on its body will also become thicker, and when it runs out like a monkey, it will not be a small role we can deal with. ”
