Chapter Twenty-Three: The Living Dead
There were a few dark clouds in the dusky sky, and light raindrops were dripping down...... The creaking sound of the broken wooden planks stepped on under his feet made a sad and mournful tune with the rustling of the rain, telling the sorrow in front of him, telling the depression in front of him, telling the desolation in front of him, telling ......
On both sides are collapsed and dilapidated houses, gray, almost impossible to see the prosperity and prosperity of the past, overgrown with weeds, scattered white bones, from those white bones revealed a trace of unwillingness, a trace of hesitation, a trace of helplessness......
Not even the afterglow of the setting sun can shine here, this gray marginal area that has been abandoned by people.
No life, no people.
Zhou Tong's heart is as desolate as the environment here, as cold as ice water. As he walked, he looked around him, what was it that ended their lives here, what was it that left these people alive?
No, there was someone else but him! It was like a green grass growing in a lifeless desert.
But -- who could it be?
Zhou Tong quickly shuttled between these dilapidated houses, white bones, weeds, rags...... How could it be? Was it his own delusion?
It wasn't a pile of rags, but a man in rags was sitting there, his face was covered by a broken straw hat, his bare skin was already covered with black dirt, and there were some ** leaves. He sat quietly in a small, dark corner......
Zhou Tong walked over slowly, picked up the straw hat with a sword, and looked at him with a blank look, that look with despair, numbness, and endless darkness.
"This ...... The ground is not ...... Stay for a long time!" a sound like scraping metal with something sharp overflowed from the mouth of the lone survivor.
Zhou Tong was overjoyed and asked, "May I ask ......?"
"This place...... Unfit...... Long...... Stay!
"This ...... Earth...... Unfit...... Stay!
The only survivor just repeated these words, and could not provide Zhou Tong with more information.
At this time, Zhou Tong heard a sound of footsteps, rustling...... Sounds like a lot of people.
It's strange, I didn't see half a figure just now, why did so many people come out of nowhere? Footsteps seemed to be coming from behind him.
Zhou Tong suddenly looked back......
A group of ragged people, some of them were men, some of them were women, some of them were old and some of them were young, some were holding children, some were dressed in dirty silk, some were carrying hoes, and some were ...... Their movements were stiff, moving their steps in unison, and slowly walking towards Zhou Tong......
Zhou Tong's gaze suddenly moved down, and they ...... I don't have a heart!
These ragged crowds are hollowed out by something in their hearts!
The Living Dead?!
Zhou Tong immediately flew with his sword, and he kept hovering in the air.
Looking at the black pressure below, Zhou Tong couldn't help but gasp, it seemed that all the living dead had poured out. It turns out that the whole town has become the unintentional living dead! The bones must have been devoured by the living who had accidentally broken in.
At this moment, all the living dead raised their withered, festering hands to catch Zhou Tong flying in the air and feast on it, they opened their hungry blood basins and let out beast-like howls from time to time.
The reason why these living dead people didn't die and turned into a pile of white bones, and now they can still jump up and down to eat Zhou Tong, is because their souls are still there! Their souls are imprisoned in the dead shells and become the living dead.
Zhou Tong looked at these unconscious living dead, and a sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart. Although they are still "alive," they live a miserable and helpless life! Their souls cannot rest in peace! They do not find true liberation...... It's better to ......
Zhou Tong let out a roar, "Ahh......hhh
One sword, two swords, three swords......
Dazzling sword light slashed at the living dead, and groups of living dead turned into gray powder......
Zhou Tong no longer knew how many swords he had chopped, and he only saw groups of living dead turned into countless powders under his sword.
Countless fluorescent rays continued to rise from those gray powders, slowly rising into the dark sky...... It's like stars returning to the sky, dotting the night.
Suddenly, the rising fluorescence changed the upward trend, and they were rapidly flowing in the same direction.
Zhou Tong looked in that direction, not good! A huge one-eyed monster was opening its mouth to quickly absorb those fluorescents, a large amount of fluorescence had been swallowed by that monster, and other fluorescences continued to flow into its mouth.
Zhou Tong flew up, raised his sword and was about to stab the monster's throat, a sharp claw grasped his close Juepo sword, the one-eyed monster looked at Zhou Tong with its only eye viciously, its mouth let out a treacherous smile, very proudly said: "Little hairy boy, you are still tender!"
Zhou Tong quickly flipped his body and kicked it in one eye. The one-eyed monster covered his eyes in pain and shouted: "There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and hell has no way to go to it! I originally wanted to keep you as a whole corpse and be a living dead to become my puppet, but now I can't keep you!-"
"Hmph, you monster is so angry! It's my turn to eliminate the harm for the sky!" Zhou Tong flew into the air, fell upside down, and quickly rotated his body, Zhou Tong turned into a white streamer at this time, breaking through the air......
"Hey...... Interesting! Interesting!" the one-eyed monster didn't take Zhou Tong in his eyes at all, and turned around in place and escaped into the ground. Wherever it passes, the soil rises violently, and the soil on the surface rises and falls, stretches and disappears......
Zhou Tong also followed into the ground, and he kept tracking along the tunnel drilled by the one-eyed monster, and the criss-crossing tunnels appeared from the original one to two branches, and then three, four, and five......
Zhou Tong found that the one-eyed monster was taking him in circles, so he changed his passivity to initiative and broke the ground and rushed out of the ground!
