Chapter 023 Zombie Lover (06)
Xie Chi was awakened by Zhou Tong's scream. He was still a little dazed when he found himself lingering in the corridor. He didn't think it was weird and said, "Brother, let's go meet her."
Xie Xinglan thought of his masterpiece that no one had noticed, and a hint of joy appeared in his voice: "Okay."
At this time, in Zhuman's room.
[My brother just woke up and you showed me this? ? ]
【Furry and cute. 】
[Is Zhou Tong going to be in trouble?]
[No, doesn't he have a life-saving buff? I've seen it.]
[It is said that there are side effects? Last time he used it, I saw that he was so weak. ]
The stinging sensation of the hair on his back made Zhou Tong pale. He was fooled! Zhu Man was not a human! He should not have come alone! He was too impatient!
Lu Wen and his family live next door! As long as he calls, they will come to rescue him!
Zhou Tong wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make a sound. In a flash, the sharp claws pierced his sweaty skin.
At the moment of death, Zhou Tong no longer cared about the huge loss and activated the Buff.
All the blood in his body began to burn, his skin instantly felt hot as if it had been rolled in boiling water, his mental and physical strength rapidly increased in just a few seconds, Zhou Tong suddenly broke free from "Zhu Man's" control and shook off her hand on his back.
"Zhu Man" obviously didn't expect that the prey that was about to be caught would suddenly run away. In a rage, he pounced on Zhou Tong and tried to pull him back.
Her claws grabbed Zhou Tong's back. Zhou Tong screamed, endured the severe pain of torn flesh, broke out of the window, fell from the second floor of the inn, fell into the yard of the inn, and happened to bump into the gloomy copper-horned gold coffin.
【Boring.】
[It's impossible to die so easily. ]
[It's so embarrassing, I'm unfollowing you. 】
"Zhu Man" had stepped onto the window sill, ready to chase Zhou Tong, but a man's low voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Zhu Man, are you there? Can I come in?"
"Zhu Man" paused, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. The man ran away, and she couldn't catch up with him for a while, and there was someone here to die for him.
[He's here to die, so I'll go. ]
[It's amazing that he didn't run away after hearing Zhou Tong's screams. He must be crazy.]
"Zhu Man" looked down at the copper-cornered golden coffin in the yard, with a look of great sorrow and great joy on her face. After tonight, she would no longer have to lurk among these stinky Taoist priests. When Yu Lang wakes up, she will be able to...
Xie Xinglan outside was getting impatient and just kicked in.
There was no one in the room. Xie Xinglan looked around and was about to walk to the broken window when two arms suddenly reached out from behind and hugged him tightly .
Xie Xinglan's face suddenly became frighteningly gloomy.
For Xie Xinglan, he himself does not have a body. He is now using Xiaochi's body. Zhu Man is equivalent to holding his Xiaochi.
[An old trick is used again. 】
[Even Zhou Tong could be made so miserable, this little brother, he is probably going to be in trouble.]
[Why is he so fierce? There is a beautiful woman behind him. 】
Xie Xinglan let go of Zhu Man's hand and said coldly, "Get lost."
It was as if Zhuman's hands were something that couldn't be dirtier.
Zhu Man was stunned. She never expected that this human had no desire . Her competitive spirit made her smile more and more charming. She bewitched him, "Look into my eyes."
Whenever he wanted to get up, he would be controlled by her and couldn't move at all.
Xie Xinglan looked at her with a faint smile, and met her eyes which were slightly red. They stared at each other for two seconds, then stood still cooperatively.
"Zhu Man" thought she had succeeded and rushed forward impatiently, but the man suddenly raised his foot to stop her and took out a bagua from the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe.
The dazzling mirror light suddenly shone on her face, and the true appearance of "Zhu Man" was instantly revealed. On her white neck, there was no human head at all, but a fox head covered with dense red fur!
Half of the fox's face was ulcerated and its entire head was deflated, as if it had been hit hard by something, with white brain matter still stuck to its face.
[What the hell, vixen! Is the actress dead? ]
【Disgusting. 】
[Why does she want to possess a human body? Is it related to the main plot? 】
"Why?!" There was a flash of resentment in the vixen's eyes. She obviously didn't expect that her charm, which had always worked, would fail and she was tricked by a human and her true appearance was revealed.
This time it was Xie Chi who spoke. He shrugged with an innocent look on his face: "Sorry, I'm gay."
Vixen: “…”
【？ ？ ？】
[I said that he and Lu Wen were probably genuine.]
【Hahahahahahahahahaha, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I’m gay. 】
Xie Chi smiled slightly: "Look into my eyes."
The vixen was stunned and couldn't help but do as he said.
Xie Chi took advantage of her daze and grabbed her left hand and lifted it up. The wound there had not yet healed, and as a result of his manipulation, blood gushed out from her wrist. In just a few seconds, her hand was already covered in blood.
Zhu Man's hands were shaking because she had cut her wrists and her hands were injured.
Xie Chi was stunned for two seconds, then realized something and his face suddenly changed: "Blood!"
What blood?
[Why did Zhu Man cut her wrists? I don’t quite understand the plot. ]
[Fuck blood! I have an ominous guess... human blood for chicken blood. ]
【Fuck!!!】
Xie Chi quickly glanced at the copper-cornered golden coffin in the yard and urged in his heart: "Brother, hurry up!"
Just as Xie Xinglan responded, the door was kicked open with a bang.
Lu Wen heard the noise and rushed over. He saw a ghost with a fox head and a human body rushing towards Xie Chi. His eyes were red with anger: "Xie Chi, run!"
Xie Xinglan: “…” This guy is so annoying.
Lu Wen immediately drew his sword and attacked, fighting with the vixen. Although he didn't gain the upper hand for a while, he didn't seem to be defeated either.
Xie Chi thought to himself: "Brother, there is something wrong with the coffin and the inkwell, human blood."
Xie Xinglan understood instantly that since Lu Wen was here for the time being, it wouldn't be a big problem.
The vixen grabbed Lu Wen's back. Xie Xinglan casually threw his peach wood sword to block the attack for him, then jumped down from the broken window on the second floor.
[What the hell??? This is the second floor!!!]
[Zhou Tong was half-crippled after falling down. He...]
Lu Wen looked at others jumping down in astonishment. While he was distracted, he was grabbed by a vixen. Only then did he concentrate on what was in front of him.
There was a lot of noise here, and Yue Xiuming and others nearby quickly rushed over. Yue Xiuming took out a talisman with a painful heart, bit his finger, and quickly drew on it. Then, while Lu Wen was fighting, he successfully stuck the talisman on the fox spirit's body.
The talisman flashed red, and the fox spirit was struck hard. It escaped from Zhuman's body and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Zhuman fell to the ground, his life or death uncertain.
[I remember Yue Xiuming's talisman seemed to be a disposable consumable? ]
【The effect is pretty good. 】
Lu Wen quickly squatted down to feel Zhu Man's breath, frowned and shook his head at everyone. Zhu Man had been killed without anyone noticing, without the vixen possessing her, she was just a corpse.
Fear flashed in the eyes of the cannon fodders. They were as humble as ants, and their death might not be better than Zhuman's.
Here, Xie Xinglan jumped down from the second floor and rushed towards the coffin. Before he got close, he heard Zhou Tong scream, but he didn't know the reason.
Zhou Tong had seen Xie Chi's performance in the upper part and knew that he could fight. With a slight flicker in his eyes, he immediately staggered and ran towards him, as if something was chasing him from behind.
Xie Xinglan narrowed his eyes. The coffin did not move. It was still lying in the yard. But...
Xie Xinglan looked down at the gossip, and the lotus petals shrank back.
Taoist Priest Lianxi said that if there are unsuppressed zombies within a mile radius, the lotus petals will shrink behind the mirror, so either the gossip is bad, or...
Xie Chi: "Brother, stay away from the coffin."
At this time, everyone on the second floor had gone down to the yard. Xie Xinglan calmly took two steps back and gave Lu Wen a look. Lu Wen didn't understand what he meant, but still did as he was told.
Taoist Xuancheng came hurriedly: "What's going on?!"
Lu Wenyan spoke to him briefly.
Taoist Xuan Cheng was horrified and hurriedly pushed everyone aside to go to the coffin. Xie Xinglan held him back and said, "Don't go over there."
Taoist Xuancheng frowned and said, "Get out of the way."
Xie Xinglan kept frowning, and Taoist Xuancheng took out a corpse rope from his sleeve and tied his hands.
Xie Xinglan was too lazy to make trouble for himself.
Taoist Xuancheng rushed over and carefully checked the ink line on the coffin. After confirming that there was no leak, he was completely relieved: "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the coffin--"
Before he could finish his words, the heavy coffin lid behind him suddenly exploded, and a wrinkled hand reached out to pinch his neck.
"Be careful!" the people on the opposite side exclaimed, their faces as pale as paper.
A zombie quickly jumped out of the coffin. Its gray and hard face was creepy in the moonlight, and a bit of human cunning flashed in its turbid eyes.
He was just pretending!
The blue-green nails pierced Taoist Xuan Cheng's skin. Taoist Xuan Cheng was indeed an extraordinary person. He reacted extremely quickly and grabbed the zombie behind him with his backhand, pulling him up with all his strength, trying to throw him down. However, he obviously underestimated the weight of the zombie. What he did instead made it easier for the zombie to pierce its nails into his shoulder blade.
Taoist Xuancheng screamed, and the zombie was about to bite his neck. Xie Xinglan was not sure whether the death of the NPC would affect the plot, and was about to take action, but Lu Wen pushed him back very hard. Xie Xinglan was full of astonishment, and he could not dodge in time. He staggered and stood firm, frowning and said, "What are you doing?"
Always ruining his plans.
Lu Wen had already rushed forward, turned around and shouted, "Don't try to show off, you are not needed here, stay over there, I will protect you!"
Because time was tight, his tone was very rigid and tough, as if he was caring for the elderly, the weak and the sick.
Xie Chi and Xie Xinglan: "..."
Xie Xinglan: "Are you still going?"
Xie Chi thought for two seconds: "Wait a little longer, take care of Xuan Cheng first." After all, Lu Wen was stubborn, and he was really afraid that if his brother went up, Lu Wen would beat him back without any explanation.
[This brother just jumped down from the second floor, he's fine. ]
[I have a vague suspicion that this is not a good thing.]
[Similar to what was seen above. ]
With the help of Lu Wen and several others, Taoist Xuan Cheng quickly broke free from the zombies' grip, fled to the side in a panic, and was supported by Xie Chi who had returned.
The other people over there were still fighting fiercely with the zombies. Xie Chi quickly checked the wound of Taoist Xuan Cheng and his expression changed slightly.
There were three hole-like wounds on Taoist Xuancheng's shoulder blades and neck near the clavicle, which were obviously caused by the three fingers of the zombie that pierced into him before.
There was no bleeding around the wound, but instead it was a strange pink color. Xie Chi pressed it and found it was extremely hard.
The Zombie Handbook states that if a person is bitten by a zombie or has a finger wound, the wound will be pink and hard. This is a sign of corpse poison. If it is not contained, the person will turn into a zombie in a very short time.
The "zombie" in "zombie", as the name suggests, means stiff. Taoist Xuancheng's wound is stiff now. Even though Xie Chi pressed so hard, he didn't feel any pain at all. The blood around the wound has completely coagulated.
Taoist Xuancheng's face turned pale and he shouted, "Don't worry about me! Catch the zombies first!"
For ordinary corpse poison, it would not be a big problem as long as you cover the wound with glutinous rice, soak in glutinous rice water for a few days, and exercise constantly to activate blood circulation. But this zombie was extraordinary. Taoist Xuancheng knew that he was most likely dead, so he had no time to take care of himself. He forced himself to stand up and threw corpse ropes to several disciples.
Corpse rope can restrict the movement of zombies.
Lu Wen and Yue Xiuming each took one end of the corpse rope, looked at each other, took a step back, and straightened the rope.
The zombie wanted to jump towards Lu Wen, but was bounced back by the corpse rope. However, it only paused for a second or two before pouncing towards Lu Wen again. This time he attacked more fiercely, as if he was angered by the resistance of the weak ant.
Taoist Xuancheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Oh no!"
This zombie is too powerful. Even the corpse rope that ordinary zombies are so afraid of can only restrain him for one or two seconds.
Yue Xiuming did the same thing, drew the talisman again, and stuck it on the zombie's head. The zombie really stopped moving.
He smiled at everyone with great pride: "It's okay——"
The next second, the talisman on the zombie's head shattered into pieces, and the zombie grabbed Yue Xiuming again.
A talisman can only resist zombies for two or three seconds.
Yue Xiuming's face turned pale.
“Hold your breath!” Unable to suppress the situation for the time being, Taoist Xuancheng could only try to save his disciples’ lives.
Xie Chi covered his mouth and nose, searched for glutinous rice with one hand, grabbed a full handful, gave Taoist Xuan Cheng a look, asking him to hold his breath, and then covered Taoist Xuan Cheng's wound with the glutinous rice.
Taoist Master Xuancheng almost fainted from the pain. The originally bright white and round glutinous rice turned charred in the blink of an eye, and black smoke came out of Taoist Master Xuancheng's wound.
Only sticky rice is effective against wounds inflicted by zombies.
Judging from Xie Chi's temper, Taoist Xuancheng deserved to die because he didn't listen to others. If he wasn't a plot NPC, he would have been very happy to watch him die without saving him.
Zhou Tong, who was hiding behind the crowd, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and quietly covered the wound on his right arm with the other hand. The clothes there were torn, and the wound was pink and shaped like three holes.
[Fuck! Zhou Tong was caught by a zombie. Was it when he fell down just now?]
【Why didn't he say anything just now? What did he mean?】
Zhou Tong quietly pulled his clothes down, extremely anxious.
Just now he fell beside the coffin, and a zombie hand suddenly stretched out from the coffin lid and body and grabbed his upper arm. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been pulled into the coffin.
He had made zombie movies and knew a lot about zombies. Half of his arm had already started to stiffen, which was a sign of being poisoned by zombies. In one or two days at most, if he couldn't find zombie blood or zombie tooth powder to detoxify, he would completely turn into a zombie.
The poison of ordinary zombies is easy to cure, but this zombie is too powerful. To detoxify it, you must use zombie blood and zombie tooth powder.
He cannot be discovered by other people. He has always had a bad reputation. If he is infected with corpse poison, he may turn into a zombie and bite other people at any time. He will be despised by others and it is possible that they will abandon him.
Zhou Tong secretly clenched his palms and reminded himself to stay calm. He was not dead yet, and there was still hope for this matter. The NPC Taoist Xuan Cheng had also been bitten by zombies. As long as they could control the zombies, they would definitely find a way to save Xuan Cheng, and then he might have a chance to survive.
[This teammate is disgusting. He doesn't care about your life or death, he only cares about me. ]
[Isn't Zhou Tong always like this? This isn't the first time you've seen him film. ]
[What would you say if it were you? Try to put yourself in their shoes, okay? ]
Everyone held their breath. The zombie could not sense the human presence and instantly lost its target. It sniffed here and there. It was obvious that it possessed extraordinary intelligence and knew that everyone was around it, but he could not see them. So it did not leave, but slowly wandered around nearby.
He expected that these people would be unable to hold their breath and would need to breathe again in a while. By then...
After a short minute, Yue Xiuming couldn't hold his breath anymore, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. Lu Wen was different from him. Lu Wen had the blessing of bloodline, and his natural breath-holding ability was more than twice that of ordinary people, but he couldn't do that.
The zombie turned around again, and its face just brushed against Yue Xiuming's nose. Its cloudy eyes and sharp fangs were so close that Yue Xiuming's heart stopped in fear. His face turned red and cold sweat ran down his forehead, but the zombie showed no intention of leaving.
Alarm bells rang in Yue Xiuming's mind. He was so close, and in a few seconds, he would be forced to breathe and the zombie would discover him and bite his neck.
Yue Xiuming turned his head and glanced at the strange actor who was also trying hard to hold his breath and was on the verge of collapse. He said sorry in his heart and suddenly raised his foot and kicked him hard.
The actor was attacked, and his hands that were covering his mouth and nose suddenly loosened. He was too slow to react, and screamed in pain, then he was instantly relieved. The zombie had a target, left Yue Xiuming's position, pounced on the actor who was lying on the ground, and bit his fragile neck.
With a heart-wrenching scream, the actor fell to the ground motionless.
Everyone saw Yue Xiuming's actions and were extremely angry. If it weren't for the zombies, Lu Wen would have wanted to kill Yue Xiuming.
While everyone was taking a breath, Yue Xiuming felt everyone's accusing gazes and sneered: "If I don't do this, can you take a breath? You will do the same if you hold it in for too long."
The other two cannon fodders quietly moved to Lu Wen's side, away from Yue Xiuming.
Holding your breath is not a long-term solution. Cold sweat ran down everyone's forehead and their legs were shaking with nervousness.
After Xie Chi greeted Taoist Xuan Cheng, Xie Xinglan stood up lazily, walked to Lu Wen, and stretched out his hand and said, "Lend me the peach wood sword."
