Chapter 78: Fighting Corpses on a Rainy Night
Lin Yuxi's imagination really impressed me. It was unprecedented. I really wanted to throw her out to see clearly whether it was a UFO or an old zongzi. But I didn't have time to pay attention to her at the moment. I saw that the short and bloated black figure in front was Xiao Pang, and the jumping black figure behind was most likely the old man of the Lu family.
Although this old house is run-down, there are two inner rooms on the left and right sides. I pushed Lin Yuxi and asked her to go into the inner room on the right, which is closest to us. I took out the mason's awl, red rope, glutinous rice and corpse-suppressing talisman, and hid behind the tilted broken door panel, ready for battle.
Two shadows quickly came to the door. There were footsteps in front, but the shadow behind made no sound at all, which made me feel very strange. The shadow behind did not interfere with the person in front, but just followed closely, which made me feel even more puzzled.
The person in front of me stuck his head in the door. As I got closer, I was almost certain that the pig-headed face was definitely Xiao Pang. The guy behind me also stuck his head in. The two of them were standing almost close to each other, and Xiao Pang didn't even notice that there was another head on top of his head. This situation was both weird and very funny. I quickly held my breath to prevent Lao Zongzi from smelling the breath of a stranger.
Because I was hiding behind the door, I saw them through the hole in the door, but Xiaopang didn't notice me. He realized that there was no one inside, so he ran into the house. After he ran in, the black shadow behind him jumped in, but this kind of old-fashioned house has a threshold. Do you know what the threshold is for? It is specially used to deal with zombies.
The threshold was more than half a foot high. This thing didn't jump in without paying attention, and almost tripped it. As I dived forward, I immediately stuck a corpse-suppressing talisman on its forehead and then tied a red rope around its neck. When Xiaopang heard the sound, he turned around and saw not only a shadow outside the door, but also someone behind the door. He screamed in fear and rushed into the inner room on the right. Lin Yuxi, who was hiding inside, also screamed. Xiaopang immediately turned around and ran back, and rushed into the inner room opposite.
It was indeed the old Zongzi. After the talisman was pasted on its forehead, it fell to the ground and did not move. I tied its arms behind its back with a red rope in the dark. The sticky corpse fluid on it was pungent and smelled fishy. Now it was all over my hands, making me feel extremely sick. I wiped the corpse fluid off on the door with my hands, and then I said to the two of them, "Come out, the old Zongzi has taken care of it!" After saying this, even I found it incredible. Logically, the old Zongzi should be very powerful, so how could I take care of him so easily?
“Damn, it’s you, Brother Yu. I was almost scared to death…ah…” Xiaopang said, and suddenly he screamed. Then there was the sound of a wooden board breaking. He seemed to have fallen into a trap, and there was a dull “thump” sound of him hitting the ground.
Lin Yuxi ran out from the inner room and asked hurriedly: "Is that Xiaopang? What happened? Did he fall into the pit?"
I had no idea what was going on, so I turned on the flashlight and was about to go in to take a look. Suddenly, I saw the old zongzi twisting on the ground. It was dressed in a black coarse cloth shroud, which had been soaked in corpse fluid for years, but had not rotted. Its skin and flesh were basically intact, but the skin looked as black as ink. Its skinny face had almost no muscles. If it hadn't been for the corpse fluid to replenish moisture, it would have shriveled up to skin and bones. Its eyeballs looked particularly large, like two eyeballs hanging on a skull, which was very creepy.
When Lin Yuxi saw the old Zongzi's face, which was not as good-looking as the demon corpse, she was so scared that she shuddered all over and rushed into the inner room opposite. But as soon as she entered, she heard her scream "Aiya", as if she had also fallen into the trap.
I didn't dare to leave the place at this moment, because the old Zongzi began to struggle and twist, indicating that the talisman and the red rope could not suppress it. I immediately grabbed a handful of sticky rice, pried open its teeth with a mason's awl, and was about to stuff the sticky rice into its mouth. At this time, I could clearly see that the corpse-suppressing talisman on the forehead was gradually getting wet due to the stained corpse fluid. I suddenly understood why the corpse-suppressing talisman could not suppress it, it turned out that it was damaged by the corpse fluid.
In this situation, only by inserting a mason's awl into its back and then using sticky rice can it be effective. As soon as I pulled the mason's awl out of its teeth, the old Zongzi suddenly flapped his head, and his uncle, damn it, splashed corpse fluid all over my face, which was so disgusting. Before I could wipe my face, the corpse-suppressing talisman was actually thrown off!
The old zongzi immediately stood up from the ground as if he had taken Viagra, and the red rope tied to his arms broke. He stretched out his hands with half-foot-long sharp nails and pointed them at my neck. It was too late to apply the talisman now , so I dodged and threw a handful of sticky rice at it. The old zongzi made a few muffled noises, obviously angry, and pounced at me like a tiger, with an amazing speed. Although I tried my best to dodge, I was still hit by its claws, so I got on the plane.
It's not easy to take a free plane. My head hit the wall, and it felt like my skull was broken. Then I fell to the ground, and I saw stars in front of my eyes. I was completely confused.
The old Zongzi cried and fell in front of me with a thud. My brain was still working well at this moment, so I hurriedly held my breath so that it could not find me for the time being. Taking this opportunity, I shook my head and got up quickly from the ground. The door to the inner room was just on the left. But this was the left half of the house, and the leaking rain made the ground very slippery. I was , and when I raised my foot to rush into the inner room, my foot slipped and I fell.
I fell down again and felt so painful that I couldn't remember to hold my breath. I let out a breath and was immediately caught by Lao Zongzi. He stretched out his hands and picked me up from the ground. Damn it, is that an arm? I suspected it was a crane arm used for building construction. It was too long. Although it didn't strangle my neck, the two claws were like iron pliers. The bones of my arms were almost crushed. It hurt so much that I couldn't breathe when I opened my mouth.
With both of my hands restrained, even a god couldn't do anything. I felt very discouraged and estimated that there was a 99% chance that I would die this time.
I was still holding the flashlight in my hand, with the light head pointing upwards, shining down from the old zongzi's chin, and the broken face was even more terrifying. It grabbed my two arms, and seemed quite excited. It licked its lips with its tongue, and the corpse fluid on the lips was sucked into its mouth, which made me feel sick again. I gritted my teeth, and decided to fight this old zongzi to death, so I stretched my head forward and hit it hard.
With a "bang", it hit its throat, which is also a relatively soft part of the zombie, temporarily suffocating it. Zombies rely on corpse qi to stimulate the brain to move Once the corpse qi in the throat is cut off, it becomes stiff and the strength in its hands disappears without a trace. I took the opportunity to struggle to the ground and got out from under its arm. The old zongzi regained his qi and slapped me on the back with one claw.
I happened to be standing at the door to the inner room, and was sent straight inside by it. When I landed, I couldn't find the ground, and fell vertically into a dark hole.
