Volume 2 Corpse Transformation Witch Chu Chapter 164 The Flower Pepper to ward off evil spirits

The Double-Edged Tentacle Zombie, referred to as the Double-Edged Tentacle, is an upright zombie whose head is replaced by two extremely muscular tentacles.

The ends of the two tentacles have bone spurs that constantly fight and rub against each other, and they are so fast that only afterimages can be seen with the human eye.

The bone spurs rub against each other at a strange and fixed angle, causing the originally cone-shaped bone spurs to gradually become two-edged, looking like the tip of a spear, extremely sharp.

In addition to the bone blade, there is also a fist-sized eyeball under the tentacle on the bone blade, and it is not known whether the double-edged tentacle can see the surrounding things clearly through these two eyeballs when the tentacles move and fight at high speed.

At least in the genetic analysis of Diocis, the monster's large eyeballs are nothing more than ordinary human eyes, and are not theoretically capable of this level of dynamic vision.

The movement speed of the double-edged tentacle zombie is not fast, and it can even be said to be slow.

The double-edged tentacles on the head are rapidly fighting each other all the time, perhaps in order to maintain the balance of the body in this state, the pace of the double-edged tentacle zombie is always unhurried, like a twilight old man.

There is no evidence that the Twin Bladed Tentacle Zombies are social, but they always appear in the form of colonies and appear in front of everyone.

Although there is no evidence that the double-edged tentacle zombies have the ability to communicate with each other, they will always besiege their targets in a form of "hunting".

Or a city, or a living person.

According to Deochis's guess, perhaps the Double-Bladed Tentacle Zombies have a collective consciousness that is incomprehensible to ordinary creatures, somewhat similar to the StarCraft in StarCraft.

Of course, the collective fan consciousness of the double-edged tentacle zombies should be relatively low-level.

Ouyang briefly introduced the characteristics and powerful features of the double-bladed tentacle zombie to everyone, and finally concluded:

"The tentacles of the double-bladed tentacle zombies are extremely long, equivalent to their height, and the force of the tentacle bone blade is enough to cut people off. And the number is extremely large, once you are left alone in the wild, there is basically no chance of survival. ”

The public loser class frowned: "However, the opponent's mobility is poor, so you can take advantage of such a weakness and rely on the city wall and terrain to defend and counterattack." ”

"That's right, that's why I'm in such a hurry to come back and remind you. Ouyang opened his mouth and said, "Actually, this kind of monster is not difficult to deal with, but if you are not familiar with it, it is very likely that you will be caught off guard by short-handed encounters, and you will suffer heavy losses." ”

The night came much earlier than everyone thought.

When the last rays of the setting sun disappear into the snow, the world is completely in darkness.

I don't know why, tonight's night is exceptionally dark, and there is no starlight in the originally clear sky, revealing a disturbing ominousness.

"Focus!These monsters are coming!" Xiong Zhong whispered to the crowd through the faint light of the fire, "Prepare the flamethrower!"

"Yes!"

In the hazy darkness, everyone saw some kind of monster with neat steps, and they were slowly walking in the direction of Pengcheng step by step.

"It's a little strange......" Ouyang stood on the low city wall, looking at the movement trajectory of the double-bladed tentacle zombies not far away, and frowned, "Their hunting target doesn't seem to be us. ”

"Mr. Ouyang?" Wang Sheng stood beside him and asked a little strangely, "Aren't they coming in our direction?

"Because the bunkers under our feet are not fenced. Ouyang explained, "We only saw zombies from one side, and we didn't see zombies from all directions.

In other words, our bunkers are only on one of their paths. And behind this necessary road, it should be our goal, Pengcheng!"

"Peng Cheng again?!" Wang Sheng couldn't help but say.

"Again?" Ouyang was stunned for a moment.

It seems that a lot of things seem to have happened in his absence.

"Well, in the afternoon, we also found a large number of zombies heading to Pengcheng. Wang Sheng nodded and said, "At the beginning, we also had one target, but as a result, the corpse tide and the flamethrower's attack range passed by, and they directly pounced on Peng Cheng. ”

"That's really thrilling...... Ouyang smacked his mouth, looking at the double-bladed tentacle zombies that had formed a large community not far away, a little uncertain, not knowing what to do next.

Just leave it to your own devices?

No way!

What if these guys suddenly don't know what stimulus they are getting and what nerves they have to turn around and attack the bunker?

When the time comes, the flamethrower's launch port is blocked, and it is very likely that it will be caught off guard and suffer huge losses.

And a direct attack?

But in case the target of the double-edged tentacle zombie is indeed not the bunker, but because of this reckless attack, the double-bladed tentacle zombie noticed the bunker and shifted the target, then it really can't cry.

It's not impossible to launch a direct attack, and it's not impossible.

But inexplicably having to have an encounter with so many zombies, whether it is a blow to morale or physical exertion on everyone, is an extremely huge challenge.

The trickiest part of the matter is here, zombies are not like humans who can't communicate, can't communicate, can't know their true thoughts, can only watch with fear as the double-bladed tentacle zombies get closer and closer to the bunker.

"If only there was some way to communicate with them. Wang Sheng muttered to himself.

"Communicate with them, don't be stupid, do you talk to dogs?" Gongsun Chao walked over and said in fierce words, "These monsters are not even dogs, except that killing is killing, they don't look like ordinary creatures at all. ”

This guy doesn't know why, his emotions suddenly became very excited, probably because he was scared silly during the daytime chase.

"It's not impossible to determine if the target is here...... Ouyang touched his chin and said to the two, "I'll go and investigate, don't make a noise." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two people to stop him, he jumped off the low wall directly, thinking that the double-edged tentacle zombie rushed away.

After staying away from the bunker, Ouyang no longer hid and tucked away, and asked directly, "Dai Ochis, have you completed the absorption?"

"Thanks to you, this time it went very well. Deochisis said as he emerged from Ouyang's body.

Compared to the last time it made him uncomfortable for most of the day, this time the speed can be called fast.

"How's that, how is the harvest. Ouyang didn't hide it, and asked directly.

"The double-edged tentacle giant has something in his genes that he can want. "The Double-Bladed Tentacle Zombies do have their own brainwave network, and they can know each other's existence and even be commanded. ”

"Hey, this kind of thing still has brains and brain waves?" Ouyang couldn't help but complain.

"To be precise, it should be a weak ionized magnetic field caused by the electric currents generated by the neurons during operation. Deocchisis explained.

"Uh...... All right. Ouyang awkwardly changed the topic, "Then if we crack this brainwave network, will we be able to control this group of double-edged tentacle zombies?"

"Your Excellency, of course this is impossible. "Like most zombies, this part of the gene belongs to the encrypted gene, as long as it is touched, it will be destroyed directly. ”

"Tsk......" Ouyang was unwilling, and asked again, "Then what if you try to blend in?"

"What do you mean?" said Deochis, somewhat incomprehensible.

Ouyang explained simply: "It is to simulate the same brainwave network, let them think that we are the same race, and then prevent being attacked by them." ”

"It's impossible to do that either. "If it's the same brainwave magnetic field, we need to do the same thing as them to not get their attention." ”

"So you're just ...... this time Have you gained a bunch of useless knowledge?" Ouyang sneered mercilessly.

"It's not a ...... Your physical fitness has been greatly improved, and if you pay attention, you should already feel it. "And your ability to heal yourself, and your control over the muscles, tissues, and organs of your body has risen a little more. ”

"But these are useless......" Ouyang sighed, waved his hand, and was about to go to the double-bladed tentacle zombie pile to sneak around and then go back.

It's a good time to see if these guys will attack those who attack them.

"Your Excellency, if you want to let the people in the bunker avoid the attack of this group of zombies, there is still a way, although it may be difficult for you humans to accept it. ”

When Ouyang heard this, there was a way? He immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Let's hear it, what is the way?" ”

"They avoid places that smell of coriander. ”

"Huh?"

"Yes, Sichuan peppercorns, at this time they should also be called rue, if there are enough of them, and if they are scattered on the ground, they will actively avoid them. ”

I didn't expect this group of guys to turn out to be a pepper-weary party? This is inevitably a little ...... It's a little too dramatic.

Ouyang's heart moved, and with the speed that was almost so fast that his body almost fell apart, he immediately went into the forest next to him and picked a large handful of peppercorns.

Sichuan pepper, also known as pepper mesh, fragrant pepper, has been a favorite spice in the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is also a seasoning for Chinese cuisine.

Because it has a special smell and has the effect of dispelling dampness and coldness as a medicinal material, it is considered a cash crop that is planted in large quantities, and wild peppercorns can often be seen in the mountains and fields.

As early as in the "Book of Songs", there is a record of peppercorns, the ancient people believed that the aroma of pepper can ward off evil spirits, and mixed peppercorns into paint to paste the wall, as a "pepper room", for women to live.

Of course, Xiong Zhong and the public loss class are no strangers to this thing, because they can repel mosquitoes, and it can even be said that these high-ranking nobles grew up with pepper sachets since childhood.

But they would never have thought that peppercorns could really "ward off evil spirits".
