Chapter 196: The Walking Dead

When the car arrived at the residence, it was already night, and the archaeological team's accommodation was very simple, but they lived in a rented courtyard in the local village.

Everyone went to rest after eating, Wei Lai kept in touch with Shen Yueying, asking about the situation of the antique store, and when Wei Lai hung up the phone, Huo Meng's voice came from outside the door.

"Damn, why is this door so weird, this is the third time I've been knocked on the head." Huo Meng pushed open the door of Wei Lai's house and walked in scolding.

Wei Lai saw Huo Meng covering his head, so he smiled and said, "Who made you so careless, this is the local custom." ”

Wei Lai observed, the door of this village is very strange, the door bar is very high, and the top is very short, fortunately, he has done an investigation, knows the reason, and said to Huo Meng: "The door of the house here is particularly short, that is because there are often walking corpses in the local area, and the walking corpses they are talking about are rotting corpses, because the rotting corpses are walking upright, and the door is made very short, those walking corpses will not enter the house through the door, and they can rest assured when sleeping." ”

"Oh my God, there are walking corpses here." Huo Meng said in surprise.

"Walking corpses are very normal in Tibet, you should have heard of sky burial, people will not be buried after death, but thrown into the wild for all kinds of animals to eat, but if the corpse begins to mutate, it will form the so-called rotting corpse, which is what the locals call the walking corpse, in that case it is necessary to make the door of the house very short."

"Listening to you say that, if you walk in the wilderness, isn't it easy to encounter carrioning corpses?" Huo Meng's worry was very necessary, and he asked Wei Lai suspiciously.

Wei Lai shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I don't know about this, but I rarely hear about encountering carrion corpses during the day, and carrion corpses are very resistant to yang energy, maybe for this reason, carrion corpses will not appear easily during the day." ”

It is very difficult to have corpses in other places, because there will be carrion zombies in some ancient cemeteries, so it is difficult to encounter them in the outside world, and although carrion corpses are easy to appear here, it is difficult to encounter them during the day, perhaps because of the special location of Tibet, or perhaps the development of Buddhism here, resulting in carrion corpses can only appear at night.

"Rub, I'll be careful that night, give me a few red talismans, and I'll put them in front of the bed before going to bed." Huo Meng made Wei say a little scared, now that the ancient sword is in his hand, he always feels a little creepy, if there is really a walking corpse at night, he will not be scared to death.

Wei Lai took out the red talisman and handed it to Huo Meng, and then said to Huo Meng: "You have something to do with me so late?" ”

Huo Meng patted his head and said suddenly: "If you don't say that I forgot, it was Director Gao who asked me to tell you that I would go out for archaeology tomorrow, and let the two of us prepare." ”

Wei Lai didn't expect to have a task so soon, their current archaeological sites are all discovered by themselves, the so-called archaeology is to find ancient building sites, to put it bluntly, it is a field survey, if they find the ancient tombs is their luck, not only can they get school funds, but also get rewards from the local government.

"Well, we've just been here in such a hurry, maybe they've found out, and if that's the case, we'll be in a hurry." Wei Lai said excitedly.

Huo Meng rolled his eyes at Wei Lai, feeling that Wei Lai was whimsical, if good things made him so easy to encounter, it would be better to buy lottery tickets.

"I'm back to sleep." Huo Meng said.

Huo Meng was lying on the bed, he was very depressed now, since he heard that Wei said that there were walking corpses, he felt uneasy, always worried that there would be walking corpses at night, he knew that he was a little frightened, but he couldn't control his thinking.

Just when Huo Meng felt a little sleepy, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, there were many insect chirpings in the silent night, but there was a slight sound mixed with the insect chirping, as if someone was walking in the courtyard.

The footsteps were very soft, and people who were asleep would definitely not be able to hear them, but Huo Meng's sleepiness disappeared at this time, and he pricked up his ears and could hear the footsteps clearly.

Huo Meng's heartbeat began to speed up, he felt his breathing become thicker, just when he was a little flustered, the footsteps in the yard approached his house, as the sound approached, Huo Meng heard that the footsteps were very abnormal, not at all the frequency of normal people walking, but some scattered pace.

"Bang dang." Footsteps came outside the house, and suddenly there was a crashing sound.

Huo Meng's heart almost jumped to his throat, he was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed, held the ancient sword that was placed next to him, reached out and took out the red talisman that Wei Lai gave him, Huo Meng gave himself courage, and said tremblingly: "Yes...... Who is it? ”

Huo Meng's voice was very soft, but when he finished speaking, the sound outside the door disappeared completely, as if the footsteps had never appeared, and as if something outside the house was peeping inside the house, Huo Meng didn't dare to act rashly, he kept his current movements, for fear that the movement he made would alarm the things outside the house.

Huo Meng's face was in a cold sweat, his legs were constantly trembling, this was the second time he encountered strange things alone, the first time was in the Xinjiang hospital, and this time the situation was a little special, because he didn't know the reason yet, Huo Meng remembered what Wei Lai had said to him, which made Huo Meng feel the same more he thought about it.

Walking corpse, Huo Meng almost didn't scream.

"Bang, bang, bang......" There was a sudden and violent noise outside the door, and something outside slammed against the door, but it seemed to be blocked and could not enter.

Huo Meng suddenly thought that the door of the house was very short, and it was the low door that blocked the entry of things outside.

The sound outside became more and more intense, and Huo Meng's nerves almost collapsed, but he had to be sure now, while the low door could resist, he had to know what was outside, and if it was really a walking corpse, he had to be ready to escape.

Huo Meng forcibly calmed himself down, he clenched the ancient sword and walked towards the door of the house, he tried his best to slow down his steps and not let himself make any sound, so as not to alarm the things outside the house.

Huo Meng swallowed and foamed hard, he knew that most of the walking corpses outside the house, he looked out along the crack in the door, and in the moonlight in the courtyard, Huo Meng saw that it was a person who hit the door of the house, this person was wearing shabby clothes, and the exposed parts were all festering.

Huo Meng looked up, this person's face was still intact, but his expression was dull, his mouth seemed to be open, his eyes were squinted into small slits, and there were blood marks from inside, which looked particularly hideous and terrifying.

"The Walking Dead, there are Walking Dead." Huo Meng was sure that it was a walking corpse, and he shouted loudly in the house, Wei Lai was next door to him, and the sound insulation of the room in the village was very poor, and Huo Meng's loud shouting could be heard.

"Peng." The door of Wei Lai's room opened, Wei Lai rushed out of it, he heard Huo Meng's shout, and looked towards Huo Meng's door.

Wei Lai saw the walking corpse, with a surprised look on his face, he didn't expect that they were still discussing just now, and now the walking corpse hit Huo Meng's door, if it wasn't for the door of the house being particularly short, maybe the walking corpse would have entered the house a long time ago, although Huo Meng could deal with the walking corpse, but that also required Huo Meng not to be afraid.

"Fierce son, kick the door hard." Wei Lai walked behind the walking corpse and shouted at Huo Meng in the house.

Huo Meng heard Wei Lai's words, without any hesitation, and kicked towards the door with all his strength, the door was kicked open by Huo Meng, and the walking corpse that was still hitting the door was knocked back by the huge force.

Wei Lai saw the walking corpse retreating, and when he touched the red rune, he urged the soul fire, and the red rune was directly lit up by the soul fire, Wei Lai printed it towards the back of the walking corpse, the red rune carried a strong yang energy, and it had a good restraint effect on the ghouls, and the effect was much better than the original black rune.

The walking corpse was hit by the red talisman, his body was greatly traumatized, and his movements became slower, Wei Lai shouted at Huo Meng, "Attack with the ancient sword." ”

Huo Meng saw that he was holding the ancient sword in his hand, and now that Wei Lai appeared, Huo Meng's fear was reduced a lot, and recently Huo Meng followed Wei Lai to cultivate, so it can be seen that the soul fire was instilled into the ancient sword, he urged the soul fire, and the ancient sword emitted a misty light.

"Grandma's, give me death." Huo Meng gritted his teeth and shouted, stabbing the ancient sword towards the walking corpse.

The walking corpse is a rotting corpse, the body is not as hard as a zombie, the ancient sword directly pierces the body of the walking corpse, but the walking corpse is a corpse after all, and the action is just a reaction before death, Huo Meng held the ancient sword and stabbed the body, although the walking corpse was hit hard, but relying on instinct, he stretched out his hands to grab Huo Meng.

Huo Meng didn't expect that the walking corpse was stabbed by the ancient sword and did not die, and when the walking corpse's hand grabbed him, he had no time to dodge, and just when he felt that he was going to die, Wei Lai used the red talisman again, and the place of this attack was the brain.

The spell on the red talisman is even more mysterious, when it attacks the head of the walking corpse, the body of the walking corpse vibrates violently, and the palm that grabbed Huo Meng was instantly put down, Wei Lai pinched the red talisman and pressed it on the back of the head of the walking corpse, Wei Lai's arm was withdrawn, and the walking corpse actually followed back strangely.

Seeing that the danger was lifted, Huo Meng pulled the ancient sword out of the walking corpse, and then quickly retreated, watching Wei Lai subdue the walking corpse from a distance.

Wei Lai's actions were beyond Huo Meng's expectations, instead of continuing, he put away the red talisman, and then quickly ran towards his house, saying to Huo Meng as he ran: "Come into the house." ”

Huo Meng realized Wei Lai's thoughts, the rest of the archaeological team didn't know their details, if they really wiped out the walking corpses, they would be discovered, and the best thing to do was to pretend that they didn't know anything.

Huo Meng quickly returned to his house, and then closed the door of the house, the walking corpse was attacked by Wei Laihongfu, and was stabbed by his ancient sword, even if he didn't die, it couldn't be a threat, Huo Meng heard movement in the courtyard in the house, and he began to shout loudly: "Help, there are ghosts, there are ghosts." ”

The rest of the archaeological team must have encountered the walking corpse, after all, after being here for so long, there is also a way to deal with it, Feng Chao and Liu Ziyong came out of the house, holding a rope, the top of the rope is knotted into a set of horse rings, and the bottom is made into a handle, which is a special tool for dealing with the walking corpse.

At this time, Wei Lai and Huo Meng came out of the house again, saw the walking corpses in the courtyard, and pretended to show a frightened look.
