Chapter 2: Corpse Transformation?
A deserted fishing village in the southernmost part of Yangzhou, where there are many reefs and whirlpools in the sea, and there are not many resources, there is little value, and over time it has been abandoned, even though it is close to the Western world, almost at the southernmost foot of the Hengduan Mountains, but no one has ventured to trade here.
The village of Ba Tunzi is called Dragon Fishing Village, legend has it that a hundred years ago, there were dragon fish in this place, when the lightning and thunder roared, the sound was mighty, many people heard it, some fishermen who lived by the sea even saw the huge dragon fish in the thunder.
Arowana is a spirit animal, often brings good luck, legend has it that after the success of the catastrophe, it can evolve into a dragon, travel clouds and rain, turn over the river and the sea, and the power is monstrous.
Perhaps in order to find a good omen, the old village Changzheng changed the original name to Arowana Village after obtaining the consent of the villagers, and later turned the fish into a fish for the sake of sound, which is the origin of Longyu Village.
The sky is getting dark, the cooking smoke is filling, and the village that should be lively and warm at this time in the past seems a little strange today, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and the lights are bright, including the entrance to the village, on both sides of the path, and in the open space in front of the court, countless torches are also inserted, illuminating the whole village, as if some grand celebration is going to be held, but there is no one to be seen, and no sound can be heard except the sound of the wind.
At this moment, in the middle of the main hall, located in the inner perimeter of the core of Longyu Village, the only courtyard house composed of brick houses in the whole village, a group of rough men with sticks and knives are discussing something fiercely around a long log table.
"Village Chief, Ba Zi is definitely a corpse! God, we must not let him enter the village! Otherwise, we will all die!" a male duck roared in a low voice, under the reflection of the candlelight, his face was extremely hideous, and his eyes were red, "And keeping him is always a scourge, in my opinion, it is better to kill him directly while Ba Lengzi has not become much stronger just now!"
"Ermao, you're crazy! It's still uncertain whether Eight Nights is a corpse!" Chen Laohan glared and said angrily.
"Am I crazy? Hehe, two years ago, have you forgotten the tragedy in Shuanghe Village?" Liu Maocai said coldly, his bloodshot eyes full of fear, "Because of the transformation of one person, more than 100 people in the village are about to die! How miserable, Chen Danian, am I crazy or are you crazy? For the sake of a fool, he disregarded the lives of the whole village, young and old?"
"Liu Maocai!" Chen Laohan was furious, and stood up with the case, his chest rose and fell violently, his fists were clenched, and the green tendons on his two iron-beaten arms burst out, so frightened that Ermao's neck shrank.
"Lao Chen, although Balengzi is a child of the old Li family, now is not the time to be rash, after all, it is a corpse!" A calm voice stopped Chen Danian, who was about to beat Liu Maocai, in time, but it was Jia Sanpao, the leader of the fishing team.
"Yes, yes, Lao Chen, don't be presumptuous......"
"The stakes are high, and I'm in favor of early prevention!"
"If one person becomes a corpse, the whole village will die! I think the safest thing is to invite the exorcist priest from the county to come over ......."
More voices rang out, everyone was gossiping, and panic began to spread.
Chen Danian didn't make a move against Liu Maocai after all, he looked at these people who were controlled by fear, and his heart was extremely angry and sad, thinking that when Lao Li was still there, as the leader of the previous fishing team, one of these people was counted as one, and which one of them had not received the favor of the Lao Li family? To this day, they all want to put the only descendant of the Lao Li family to death......!
The old man finally sat down in a daze, thinking that he Chen Danian was an ordinary fisherman, how could he be responsible for the lives of the whole village......?
"Quiet and quiet!" Jia Laosan patted the table lightly, a pair of tiger eyes were not angry and arrogant, he looked around for a week, and said slowly, "The resurrection of Ba Lengzi is a fact that we all see, no one denies this! As for whether it is a corpse mutation, it is difficult to say now, but we have to prepare in advance! Village chief, what do you say?"
At this time, everyone's eyes finally converged on the end of the long table, an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, who was leisurely smoking a dry cigarette.
The old man was dressed in a washed white coarse cloth robe, his swarthy arms peeking out of his sleeves, and in his hands like ancient tree knots, the heads of large bronze cigarette guns were glowing red.
Under the smoke, an old face flickered in the dark, this old man has dominated Longyu Village for nearly 20 years, after ups and downs, and has accumulated prestige for a long time, even Jia Sanpao, the most prestigious in recent years, did not dare to cross in front of him. After all, in the next village chief election, he still needs the recommendation of the old village chief!
The room slowly quieted down, everyone looked at the village chief, as his cigarette gun beat brightly and darkly, the restlessness in the air gradually calmed down, only to see him finally take a deep breath, spit out a long column of smoke, lightly slammed the cigarette gun on the table, and then said: "Catch it first, if it is really a corpse, then burn it!"
The old man's voice was a little old, but it was full of energy, sonorous and powerful, like a battlefield order, which was convincing.
"Village Chief......" Old Man Chen opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by the old man with a wave of his hand.
"Lao Chen, this matter is settled, I also watched the child grow up in the eighth night, no one wants this to happen, but we have to look forward, the days must go on, right? Three guns, this matter will be left to you, let everyone wear thick clothes, bring fishing nets and lassoes, don't get scratched! Anyone who is injured will be isolated! Understand?" The old man first appeased Chen Laohan, and then turned to explain to Jia Sanpao, the leader of the fishing team, when it came to the back, he became more and more serious, obviously he was also extremely cautious about the corpse transformation.
Legend has it that the corpse of the person, stiff, powerful, and with corpse poison on the body, who catches or bites anyone can infect the corpse poison to the other party, and turn the injured person into a zombie, it is a matter of passing ten or ten to hundreds, and even turning an entire city into death, which is really terrible.
Jia Sanpao nodded, and wrote down the old village chief's advice one by one, and the others also listened carefully, the old village chief's experience has proved its usefulness countless times in the past twenty years.
"Squeak!"
At this moment, the door of the solid wood hall was suddenly pushed open by a strong force!
"Village Chief! Uncle Jia......! Stunned...... He...... He ......" a young man panted, and he could see that his dark face was full of fear, probably just running over, out of breath, and not a fart for a long time.
"Chen Yong! Let's be clear! What's wrong with the eighth night?" Old man Chen is angry, his own boss is good at everything, but he is unstable, and he is in his twenties, why is he still so frizzy and frivolous, and he is embarrassed to the village chief's house.
Hearing his father's loud shout, Chen Yong was excited, and finally blurted out completely in the eyes of a group of people who were like facing a great enemy: "Balengzi has entered the village!"
Hiss~
Everyone gasped, their hearts seemed to slow down by half a beat, and the air became solemn, it was one thing to know in advance, and it was another thing when things really came, in fact, the group of men in the house had fought with bandits and rogues before, and they had shed blood, but this time......
The legend of the monster is too terrifying.
In the end, it was the old village chief who reacted first, coughed lightly twice, and Jia Sanpao instantly sobered up and shouted loudly: "What are you doing in a daze! Go! Copy the guy, go out and have a look!"
A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, the so-called group is strong and I have courage, and there is no bad seed here, with a wave of Jia Sancang's big hand, he suddenly rushed out of the door with a hula.
"Yongzi, lead the way!"
