Chapter 142: Overnight in a small town encounters a tide of corpses

Meng Juntong was a little suspicious of his ears: "Master Li, what you just said, who died in whose hands?"

According to what Li Chang said before, the hunter surnamed Bai should have been a dead man when he was brought back to Changqu Town, even if he wasn't, a person who had lost all his flesh and blood essence was afraid that he couldn't even stand up, how could he still have the power to kill.

Li Chang's fat face was full of gloom, and he seemed to recall some rather terrifying picture: "When the guy surnamed Bai was brought back, he had only one breath left, and when his wife helped him wash his body and tidy up his remains, he didn't know where the guy's strength suddenly came from, so he sat up and bit his wife's throat with one bite, and directly bit his wife alive and died." Li Chang wiped his face: "At that time, I was taking a messenger nearby, so I also went to Bai's house to take a look, that scene, alas, I am not afraid of adult jokes, I haven't eaten for half a month." Li Chang hurriedly waved his hand, as if to dissipate the images in his mind.

Wei Ling looked at Meng Juntong with a puzzled expression, this situation made him very puzzled.

Meng Juntong didn't understand either, it stands to reason that if he was hooked by the female ghost mandrill, he would either directly suck the essence alive and die, or the ancestors would bless him and leave half his life to escape and ascend to heaven. How could this happen?

"Could it be that he was poisoned by the corpse of the drought fish first, and then encountered the mandrill?" Wei Ling put forward a rather bold hypothesis.

Corpse poison can drive people crazy, and it can also manipulate the bodies of dead people to kill indiscriminately. The mandrill, on the other hand, sucks the essence of human flesh.

If this white hunter entered the mountain, he first encountered a drought, or was injured by the walking corpse that was killed earlier, and in the process of fleeing, he met a female ghost mandrill who came out to hook people and forage for food.

Meng Juntong thought for a while, and felt that it was not impossible, but there was one more thing she didn't understand: "Mandrill's perception is very keen, if it finds that the other party's body contains deadly toxins, it should give up predation." ”

"It's useless to think about it now," Wei Ling turned to Li Chang and asked, "Their family's bodies have all been disposed of?"

Li Chang replied: "Of course it is dealt with, where do we dare to keep the people who died of the corpse plague, they have all been burned by fire." Not only their family, but in order to control the surnamed Bai, we also had a few yacha who also suffered disasters, in short, it was very miserable. ”

"That's not right, Master Li?" Wei Ling remembered something: "Didn't you say that there were flying corpses entering the city to hurt people, and this time the hunter surnamed Bai obviously entered the mountain by himself and contracted the corpse plague, this is not the same thing." ”

"That's one thing," Li Chang continued, "On that troubled night, more than one person saw it, and there was that figure flying from the sky. ”

"Who was attacked by the flying corpses?"

Li Chang can't talk about it now, until now, he has not investigated this matter, and no one has come to report the case.

It's not just flying corpses that can fly around, Meng Juntong thought to himself.

As he spoke, the convoy had arrived at the place where Li Chang had arranged for everyone.

At present, this inn has been chartered by him, and the samurai of the convoy will rest here. As for Yan Fengyi and these people around him, Li Chang will definitely arrange it alone.

Along the way, Meng Juntong kept thinking about it.

Yan Hong saw that Meng Juntong was preoccupied, and had already asked several times, but Meng Juntong still couldn't tell what was wrong.

"I always feel that there should not be so simple behind this matter, I have been sucked dry of flesh and blood, and I can still run so far from the Yin Soul Ridge back to the outside of Changqu Town, this is unreasonable. The mandrill does not eat poison, which means that the hunter was most likely not poisoned before being sucked out of the flesh and blood, could it be that after escaping from the mandrill, he encountered the walking corpse again, but in his state at that time, how could he escape from the mouth of the murderous walking corpse. Meng Juntong told Yan Hong many doubts in his heart.

Yan Hong has always just regarded this as a story from beginning to end, after all, she had not gone to the Yin Soul Ridge before, nor had she seen the dartle, let alone the mandrill, and she had no concept of these in her heart, so Meng Juntong said it, and she just listened, and there was no way to give any advice and help.

"Why don't we stay in Changqu Town for two more days, we will pass through the Yin Soul Ridge, and save a lot of time, if you really think this matter is very important, I can tell my father." Yan Hong said very understandingly.

Meng Juntong shook his head, the source of this matter must still be in the Yin Soul Ridge, and now is not a good time to go back.

"I don't think the so-called corpse plague will pass so easily. Meng Juntong sighed, she was not afraid of encountering things one after another, but she was afraid that everything, like every clue she was looking for her mother, would be broken at a point at every turn, and it would become a headless unsolved case, which really made her crazy to the extreme.

Li Chang, as the town guard of Changqu Town, naturally served wine for Yan Fengyi and his group at night.

Yan Fengyi did not refuse, and even invited Xue Ding and Meng Juntong to participate.

Probably because of the zombies in the city these days, this night banquet was also quite cold, that is, some of the colleagues on duty in the town guard had a meal together.

Yan Fengyi is not the kind of person who likes to take care of his status as the king of the county, so the atmosphere at this banquet is still quite pleasant.

Of course, it is indispensable to talk about the recent corpse incident again, but it is not very formal, everyone is talking casually.

According to the plan, the convoy will rest overnight in Changqu Town today, and the convoy will be on the road early tomorrow morning to arrange a ferry to Dadukou.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Fengyi proposed that today's banquet end here.

Just as the big guy got up and was about to leave, suddenly two officials rushed into the palace in a hurry.

"What's the matter, I didn't see that this lawsuit was entertaining distinguished guests. Li Chang's face was displeased, and the recklessness of his subordinates was likely to give him a discount in the impression of this county prince, who had been in officialdom for many years, and he was too familiar with such calculations.

But the servant was pale, stammered, and was stunned for a long time without saying what had happened.

Meng Juntong felt that something was wrong with the situation, took a few steps forward, and poked out a finger, pointing at the incense ash with a hint of condensing incense, and shook it lightly between the nose of the servant.

The officer's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted loudly: "Corpse...... There's a wave of corpses!"

"Where's the corpse tide!"

"East ...... East City Gate!"
