Chapter 40: Escape for your life
Exploring the ruins of civilizations in another world is a matter of luck, if you are lucky, you can pick up something and sell it for millions, if you are unlucky, you can scavenge a bunch but you may not even have enough capital. So how to identify the item is a very important thing, and the other people in each team can not have it, but the appraiser will definitely have it.
Wild wolf, the appraiser in their team is Lao Motou. Don't look at this old man's appearance, but he is a very rare treasure hunter, he is old, has a lot of experience, and is very skilled in treasure appreciation.
Treasure hunters are best at finding treasures, and they seem to have an amazing instinct for something valuable. In such a completely unfamiliar ruins of a civilization in another world, this old man was able to take them to find an antique shop, which was still a very large-scale one.
You must know that no matter in that world, as long as it is a balance of prosperous antiques, they are very valuable. Especially in the Longhua Empire, many of the great nobles who have been inherited for a long time have a habit of collecting antiques from other worlds, as long as the things are good, they will never worry about selling. If there is more detailed historical evidence to prove it, it will be a fortune.
Therefore, when searching the antique store, everyone worked hard, and the large bags and small packages were full, and the wild wolves even used the space storage equipment that they were reluctant to take out.
"You guys tap and tap, this thing is worth more than your life!" Old Mo stared at the huge porcelain jar carried by several people, his two eyes staring at the light, and kept putting his hands together to make them slow down and slow down. If he hadn't lost his eyes, this porcelain jar alone would have been enough to cover the hard-earned money he had earned for a year.
"Alas, Batuu, be careful, this plate is worth the price of a third-order gold piece of equipment. You've already hit one, and if you hit this one again, I'll twist your head off and kick it as a ball!" As soon as Lao Motou looked up, he saw Batu staggering down the stairs holding a blue and white porcelain plate, and his heart suddenly trembled with fright. Cursing, he rushed over eagerly, carefully taking the porcelain plate from Batu's hand.
"What's wrong with you? I don't think you're in the right state?" Old Mo Tou only then noticed that Batu's face was unusually pale, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead. His eyes were sunken, his eyes were blank, his lips were black, and his body swayed as if he was about to fall at any moment.
Old Mo patted his arm, and was hesitating to find the wild wolf to take a look, but at this time, he heard an exclamation and a rapid and noisy fight from upstairs.
"What's wrong?" Old Mo turned his head and glanced upstairs, only to feel as if something had happened. And when he turned back again, he found Batu staring straight at him, and there was a surge in his throat, and suddenly his mouth grew, and his hands grabbed him by the neck and made a gesture to bite him......
The two team members suddenly went crazy and bit people, and the whole team was in chaos almost instantly. And Shen Mu, who had been staring at Batu's every move, immediately smashed the thing in his hand when he saw him suddenly bite Lao Mo's head, and then ran away regardless of it.
Smashing things is a signal, and water magicians have always been on high alert. Seeing Shen Mu running out like crazy, she immediately followed without the slightest hesitation, and rushed out of the antique store before everyone could react.
Originally, I thought that Batu and they were all professionals of magical civilization, and their physical fitness was much higher than that of earthlings, and they might resist for a long time, but they didn't expect to mutate in just over half an hour. I don't know if it's because it's overestimating their resistance, or if the T virus has made a new mutation in the Mixed Metaverse? If it's the latter, it might be troublesome.
Shen Mutou ran out of more than 200 meters in one breath without looking back. He had been secretly looking for a hiding place after breaking away from the group, and he found several places along the way, and finally found a small convenience store.
The convenience store has been looted for a long time, and there is basically nothing left. However, the location is good and the view is great. There is also a small enclosed room in the innermost part, and you should be able to hide for a while if you close the door.
Shen Mu had searched this place before, and he had long secretly remembered the terrain here. But the hut inside has never been entered, so when I pushed the door open, I was stunned by a zombie inside.
Fortunately, after training in the underground fighting arena, his fighting mentality has been cultivated, and he has long been prepared for a possible sneak attack by zombies, so he is not too panicked. A 'Holy Punishment' slammed into the zombie's head at close range, and the water mage who followed behind him made up for a 'water blade wave' that almost cut off the zombie's chest.
"The weakness of this thing is in the head, and it is only useful if the head is broken. Shen Mu cautiously checked the room again. Seeing that the water magician was going to move the zombies out, his expression suddenly moved, and he stopped: "Don't throw it out yet, it may be useful to keep it!"
"Okay, listen to you!" The water magician was now obedient to Shen Muyan, because she had now finally discovered the horror of this otherworldly civilization relic. A hurried glance as she left the group gave her a glimpse of Batuu's terrifying appearance. One arm had begun to mutate, often with sharp barbs. The mouth also split into four petals, like a rotten flesh flower, which was extremely disgusting.
The sound of fierce fighting was heard not far away, and the movement was so loud that half of the street shook, and it seemed that Batu and the two of them had caused a lot of trouble for the team.
"Make a small observation hole in the wall, and if you can set a trap, set two at the door. Hearing the sound of fighting, Shen Mu's movements sped up a few points. While cleaning up the shelves outside, let the water magicians step up the arrangement.
"Magic Trap I will. At this time, the thunder magician ran in out of breath, and said with a complaining face: "You two will run when you say you will run, and you won't say to communicate in advance, fortunately, I am clever or I will really be killed by you!"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and do it, it's too late for a while!" Shen Mu didn't wonder that he would follow, but continued to speed up his work. Such a big movement on the street is bound to attract more zombies, and this time it may not be such an ordinary zombie to deal with.
The three of them quickly completed the simple arrangement, blocked all the doors and windows of the convenience store, and then retreated to the hut inside, closing the door completely. But then they were surprised to find that there was one more person in the room.
"Hey, don't mind if we're together!" said a small thief, grinning Shen Mu, it seemed that he knew who was going to say it here.
"Why are you here?" Shen Mu remembered that this thief was in charge of investigation in the wild wolf's team, and it seemed to be a second-order detective thief. But they didn't know each other at all, and they didn't even say a word!
"I'm here, of course, to stay alive. The thief pinched a mustache on his chin, looked at Shen Mu and said, "I noticed you as soon as I entered the ruins, your reaction was very abnormal, and everything that followed seemed to be imprinted with my guess, you really know the inside story of this ruins." And since they all ran along, of course I had to run with them! If I don't run again, I'm afraid I'll become such a monster like them! Meet me, my name is Han Fei. ”
The "Han Yang" thunder magician also introduced himself.
"Moon Clear" water magician also introduced.
"My name is Shen Mu, and we need everyone to work together next!" Shen Mu simply reported his real name, anyway, his real name does not exist in this world.
"So now can you tell us what those ghosts are?" Han Fei was very curious. Not only him, but Han Yang and Yueqing are the same, they are both curious and afraid of unknown things.
Shen Mu was silent for a moment, picked out something suitable to say, and after organizing the language, he said: "Those things are called zombies, they are a kind of creature between the living and the dead, you can also call them the living dead. They are not undead creatures, so divine magic does no special damage to them. The living dead have no sense of pain, and most of them have no intelligence, only the instinct to eat, and they will eat everything they can eat, so their only weakness is their brains. ”
"What happened to Batu, how did they become like that all of a sudden? You know they're going to be like that, right!" Yueqing still has lingering feelings about Batu's mutation.
Shen Mu nodded: "The living dead carry an extremely infectious virus, which is transmitted through bodily fluids. In other words, any creature that is scratched or bitten by them will also be infected by the virus and become the same infected body as them. It's just that because of the different constitutions, the mutation after infection is also different. ”
"MD, if you scratch it, it will be infected, which means that we have to face more than a dozen of those monsters!" Han Fei was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Originally, he thought that it was zombies that were terrifying, but what was really terrifying was this highly transmissible virus. He didn't think anyone else on his team would survive the virus.
"Dozen? Let me tell you, there are at least a few million zombies in this kind of ruin, and there are many powerful zombie beasts, so you have to listen to me if you want to live. Listening to the sound of a large group of zombies howling outside, Shen Mu trembled in his heart, raised his middle finger and gestured to his mouth, lowered his voice and said, "From now on, we can't move, we can't make a sound at all." ”
