Chapter 14: Change
Then the village chief knocked on the door from house to house, vacated some houses for the people, and warmly beckoned everyone to come into the house to rest.
Although they haven't been here for a long time, some people are already feeling a little tired.
Some of them went into the house to rest, while others began to look around the village.
Zhangjia Village is located in a small plain area, with open spaces on three sides, and only one side of the forest looks like something can be hidden.
However, when some of the warriors passed through the forest, they shook their heads in disappointment.
Although there are some ruins in this forest, the area is not very large, and it seems that it has been specially demolished.
The situation inside was unobstructed, and it took less than half a column of incense to thoroughly check it.
Walking through the grove, there was a small canal in front of everyone.
Although there are some places where the riverbed has dried up, the overall flow of water has not been stopped.
The weirdness of zombies can be said to be not afraid of anything, but they are afraid of water and fire, and this kind of water flow is not something that this kind of weirdness can pass through.
Things have come to this point, I'm afraid there are only two explanations.
Either the government is lying and playing jokes with everyone at such a great cost.
Either that, the village chief was lying and covering up some facts that he didn't want everyone to know.
The warriors who can come here are not fools, and many of them make eye contact with each other, full of suspicion in their hearts.
At this moment, a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness were revealing a bloodthirsty red light, scanning back and forth at everyone's backs.
Ji Wusheng suddenly felt a chill in his back, as if something malicious was watching him.
Ji Wusheng didn't dare to slack off, only to see his body tense, and then suddenly turned around and looked at that malicious gaze.
Although he was already very surprised, he got nothing.
Behind is a small clearing, no trees, low weeds, there is nothing there.
"It's weird!"
Ji Wusheng frowned and said secretly.
As soon as he entered the small village, he felt that something was wrong, and he had not cleared his mind until now.
It is no wonder that the government wants to fence off such places.
This kind of ordinary small village does not have the conditions to give birth to monsters like zombies at all.
Monsters similar to zombies in previous lives are called walking corpses in this world.
The walking dead are generally found in places that are inaccessible.
The environment in which the walking dead are formed is very harsh.
The place where the walking corpse appears is usually a strange terrain and some strange fog, and the yin qi is very heavy, and it will only be born in extremely harsh conditions.
Zhangjiacun is located on a small route, with foot merchants and dart boards and other people shuttling back and forth, and it is very popular, it is really not like a place where walking corpses can be born.
Thinking of this, Ji Wusheng's doubts in his heart became even more.
Suddenly, the hounds brought by some of the warriors suddenly barked violently.
They seem to have discovered something.
The crowd, who had been a little low, suddenly became excited.
Then the hound took his master and began to run wildly.
Everyone followed the hound to see what it had found.
After a bit of running, the hound stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden house in the village, and then roared wildly.
"Whose house is this?"
Someone in the crowd asked.
"It's Qiangzi's family, but their family has already moved to the county seat, so there is no one here now"
The old village chief didn't know when he came to the scene, and said to the puzzled people.
The structure of the village is very tight, and the neighbors are very close to each other, so it is not surprising that the village chief is here.
After listening to the old man's words, Ji Wusheng thought for a while and began to walk straight towards the inside of the house.
"Since there's no one, let's go in and have a look."
Before the old village chief could say anything, Ji Wusheng had already pushed open the door and walked in.
Before he could see the situation inside, a dark shadow swooped in from his side.
Ji Wusheng's eyes were very good, and he knew that it was the hound just now.
Then he stopped where he was, then focused his attention on his ears.
Hounds can have a hundred times more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people, and they should have discovered something.
After a few breaths, Ji Wusheng heard a scream, and then saw the ferocious hound running out with his tail between his legs.
It was useless to let his master shout.
He only squatted in a corner not far away, lying his head on the grass and shivering.
"Did you encounter a walking corpse, or did you encounter some large beast?"
The warriors who come here are very cautious, and the hound behaves like this, there must be something strange in it, and there may be a huge danger.
Just when everyone was stunned and stopped.
Ji Wusheng didn't hesitate at all, pushed open the door that had been inadvertently closed just now, and walked straight in.
"Little brother, you..."
Some of the warriors were about to open their mouths to persuade, but they didn't expect Ji Wusheng's figure to disappear in place...
The reason why Ji Wusheng dared to come in directly was because he had just confirmed the situation inside through the subtle sound of his ears.
This room seems to be small, it seems to be only two or three rooms, but the inside is very dim, like dusk.
The windows were covered with straw to keep the sunlight out.
Ji Wusheng has good eyesight, and he removed the straw from the window to let the beam shine in, and the situation here became unobstructed.
The house was clearly abandoned, and even the iron pot for cooking rice had been removed, leaving only a circular hole.
The house is small, but it also looks empty.
"But what happened to the hound just now, and why did it bark so badly?"
Ji Wusheng had some doubts in his heart.
I don't know if it's because Ji Wusheng's attribute is stronger than ordinary people, and the hearing of his ears is several times stronger than in his previous life.
After the hound came in just now, it didn't collide with anything, but ran straight out, although it was a little embarrassed, but there was no external injury.
These details gave Ji Wusheng some more direction to look for.
When he searched the middle of the living room, he found a strange puddle of liquid scattered on the floor.
At the same time, two other things were scattered near the liquid, one was a scale the size of a baby's palm, and the other was a porcelain bottle.
The wooden stopper on the mouth of the porcelain bottle was gone, and the inside was empty.
Ji Wusheng didn't say anything, but cautiously took out a piece of cloth and carefully wrapped the scales and bottles, and then put them away.
Although he didn't know what these two things were, he put them away.
Some ideas were already forming in his mind.
At this time, the others finally mustered up the courage to step in, only to find Ji Wusheng in a daze in front of a cloud of liquid on the ground.
"What's going on. ”
A gloomy man with a short thorn in his hand asked.
