Chapter 4: Dried Corpses
These dried corpses, their skin was as dry as wood, their eyes were shriveled into raisins, and none of their organs were intact, but at this time, they seemed to wake up, turned their heads one by one, and looked at Ke Mingde with their empty eyes.
Creeps.
Even Ke Mingde felt numb in his spine for a while.
"What is this?"
Ke Mingde said to himself, he had scanned the underground part of the building clearly.
Underground is a parking lot, the space is very spacious, black rumbling, but crowded with standing corpses, roughly counted, there are three or four thousand people.
"Hah!"
The dry corpse at the front opened its mouth, a rough, eerie growl from its broken throat.
The dry corpse suddenly burst out, stepped up three steps in one step, lifted his thin claws, and threw himself at Ke Mingde.
The dried corpses that followed also revived one by one, sensing the breath of the living, and rushed to Ke Mingde like crazy, swarming up.
"Overwhelming!"
Ke Mingde's surging internal qi was like a huge tide, suppressing more than ten dried corpses in the stairwell, making them unable to take a step forward, opening their teeth and claws, and roaring incessantly.
"Hah...... Roar ......"
The corpses let out meaningless screams, piercing and unpleasant, waking up all the zombies in the entire basement, and thousands of corpses were agitated together, the sound was like thunder, crowded and pushed, smelling the breath of the living, and all squeezed towards the stairwell.
The stairwell was crowded with more than a dozen dried corpses, and although they tried hard together, they were hysterical, but they couldn't push Ke Mingde's true qi wall, like a monkey being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain.
The roar from the ground echoed endlessly, spreading far away in the empty and silent city, and in an instant, the entire empty city rose and fell, filled with the roar of dried corpses.
As soon as Ke Mingde scanned it, the entire underground part of the city, the basement, the underground parking lot, the underground shopping mall and even the spacious sewers, were full of such dried corpses, like a huge beehive.
Ke Mingde's heart was not good, so he immediately withdrew his true qi, held his palms up, and made a posture of the sky, and the vigorous true qi was released, and the floor of the upper two floors immediately collapsed, pouring down, burying half of the stairwell.
With a flick of the sleeve robe and the dust washed away, the dry corpses on the ground were still in a commotion, struggling outward from the only remaining small mouth.
Half of the corpses were crushed under the concrete slabs, half of their bodies were crushed, but the other half was unaffected.
"Dragon Catcher!"
Ke Mingde was worried that these dried corpses had viruses on them, so he let out a true qi and dragged out a complete dried corpse from it and brought it to his face.
The dry corpse suddenly felt that a living person was standing opposite him, within reach, and he opened his dry mouth and was about to bite, but he was bound by Ke Mingde with his true qi and couldn't move.
"And among human beings, they all have great power!"
Ke Mingde didn't touch the dry corpse, so he used his true qi to hold it and returned to the first floor of the building.
On the street outside, a few dried corpses had appeared here and there, rushing towards the building where Ke Mingde was.
At the same time, from the sewer entrance, subway station, and underground parking lot, the tide gushes out the dried corpses.
"Thor, take your breath and don't make a sound!"
Ke Mingde covered his whole body with true qi, blocking out smells, breaths, and light, and hid his body along with Thor and the dried corpse.
"Roar...... Oh...... Ha ......"
Outside, the dried corpses gathered around the building, but as if they had lost their target, headless flies roaming around, some tripping over obstacles, others falling into sewers.
"Is it no wisdom, or is it no sight?"
Ke Mingde gradually tried to remove his invisibility, still hiding his voice and spirit.
The corpses outside turned a blind eye to this, and some even paced into the interior of the building.
Ke Mingde let go of his voice again, and the roar of the dried corpse bound by his true qi immediately spread out.
The rest of the dried corpses remained indifferent.
"No hearing, or no communication?"
Ke Mingde exuded some smell again, and it was still the same as before, as if he was an invisible person.
"Weird!"
Ke Mingde shouted twice by himself, but Ren didn't react, so he simply withdrew all concealment and released coercion.
The dried corpse immediately turned into a fishy cat, roaring and running, rushing towards Ke Mingde.
Ke Mingde propped up a circle of true qi barriers, protecting himself for a few meters around him, separating these dried corpses.
The dry corpses in the front could not advance, and the ones in the back still crowded forward, and finally reached the ceiling like a stack of arhats.
Ke Mingde hid his breath again, and the corpses were no longer excited, and they performed Brownian motions and gradually dispersed.
Ke Mingde carried a dried corpse and climbed to the top of the building with Thor.
It is an office building with a total of 18 floors, each floor is about three meters high, and it seems that there is no taboo in this world about these numbers.
The whole building seemed to have been damaged, and some of the walls were even cracked with palm-wide cracks, and the twisted steel bars could be seen inside, and the inside was disorganized, with books, documents, clothes, and some electronic devices all over the floor, and in some places there were traces of flames, and in some places there were traces of blood.
Ke Mingde climbed to the top floor and looked down, the corpses wandering aimlessly, not finding a puppy that had not had time to hide before sunset, and swarming it to pieces, not a single bone remained.
In the corner of the roof, a few felines huddled, dexterous enough to avoid the hunt of dried corpses, but still had to place their nests at the top of the building.
At this time, they were standing vigilantly in the corner, staring at the dried corpse with round eyes, their bodies arched, ready to flee at any time.
Ke Mingde ignored these wild domestic cats, he had already found that on the roof of the building nearly 100 meters, the dried corpses on the ground could no longer feel themselves.
The dried corpses roaming the streets are not only humans, but also canines, felines, small rodents, etc.
Turning around, he let go of the true qi that was clamping down on the dry corpse, and the dry corpse immediately spread towards him viciously, ignoring Ke Mingde standing on the edge of the building.
Moving sideways, the dry corpse pounced into the air, and fell into the building, Ke Mingde naturally would not waste the specimen in his hand, and used his true qi to lift it up and put it on the ground.
A few wild cats had long since fled and disappeared.
"No heartbeat or breathing, necromantic creatures?"
Ke Mingde removed the billboard on the roof of the building, twisted some steel bars with his bare hands, and locked the dried corpse firmly to the wall.
"No, necromantic creatures also have souls and consciousness, and only magic golems have no soul. ”
Ke Mingde recalled the forbidden books he had read in the Eternal White Tower, which included the introduction of forbidden magic such as resurrecting corpses, manipulating dead souls, and dominating skeletons, and even the most humble skeleton soldiers had a weak soul reaction.
"Only low-level puppets, puppets, and mechanical creations have no souls, and the white bone soldiers I transformed with white bone beads are essentially just puppets that require my true qi to manipulate. ”
Ke Mingde protected his palm with his true qi and pinched the arm of the dried corpse.
"The flesh and skin are as dry as wood, but the joints can move flexibly, weird!
