"Mourning...what?"
The old man didn't understand this new word, so he walked over and said in a commanding tone, "Get out of the way."
How could Su Er dare to give in? Tianyi Gua's state was more like a half-human, half-ghost existence, with some Taoist skills to rely on. If he was infected, who could deal with him?
The old man was fearless and was about to be pushed away. Su Er rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Why don't you calculate your own fate?"
"I can't predict it." The old man stated the fact: "My ability can only predict people."
"So-called zombies can escape reincarnation!"
Exaggerated language can easily attract people's attention. After shouting this, the old man did not take action directly.
Now that he had time to explain, Soul quickly began to pick out the important points, saying, "But in essence, they are just zombies..."
Trying to use simple and understandable terms to describe the dangers of zombies, anyone hearing such talk in this era would dismiss it as a fantasy. Fortunately, the old man himself was unconventional, and his research wasn't particularly unusual, so he roughly understood most of what he said. He then asked, "Will it spread like a plague?"
Su Er smiled bitterly. "At least there's a cure for the plague. But if you get bit by this thing, you're completely finished." He took a deep breath and said, "If we don't stop it immediately and it infects other people, and spreads from person to person, the world will be over sooner or later."
In the eyes of players, the people or ghosts in the copy are all NPCs. Even so, Sur believes that he cannot bear the sin of destroying a world.
The old man stared at him, as if assessing the truth in his words.
Bang, bang! The edge of the iron door has been deformed, and it looks like it won't last much longer.
During the stalemate, Su Er showed a hint of anxiety.
The old man finally took action. He frowned and moved a huge rock to press on it. The sound underneath became muffled, but the shaking of the rock proved that the thing inside had no intention of giving up and coming out.
The dead do not know tiredness, especially the bodies of the dead have been transformed by the Tianyi Gua and become stronger.
Su Er growled, "Go to Wang Xun's mansion and find my other companions. Disaster is approaching. Let us work together tonight to save this world!"
"…"
It was the same words, spoken with the same passionate tone, but when they came out of his mouth, they sounded harsh.
The old man gave Su Er a deep look, not worried about him taking advantage of the opportunity to escape. If it was a lie, running out into the street would be a dead end. After a brief consideration, he finally walked out the door.
After confirming that Tianyi Gua had really gone far away, Su Er didn't even want to waste time to catch his breath, and hurriedly tried to control the strange eye in his body.
Bang!
The sound under the iron gate was disturbing. After a while, Suer could no longer calm down, so he stood up, ran to the yard, and brought two stones to press down on him.
·
Everyone is bathed in the same moonlight.
It gets dark early here and the moon appears very early. Cao Ledao is now pacing in the yard. His body has not recovered yet and his lips have become dry and cracked because he has not had water for a long time.
There is about one hour left until midnight, and according to his fortune, he will fall to his death on the next day.
Cao Ledao had already walked out of the courtyard in panic, and found Wei Jun with a sense of resignation.
Wei Jun saw him from a few feet away and shook his head apologetically. This kind of game was a sure-kill zone, and unless one possessed advanced items or was incredibly powerful, escaping was nearly impossible. Yesterday, he had simply followed Su Er's lead and taken advantage of the situation.
"I'm not asking you to save me," Cao Ledao said, fearing the snake and not daring to get too close. "I just hope you can make sure the money is sent to my family when you get out."
Wei Jun nodded: "I will personally meet with the person in charge of your organization."
After receiving his assurance, Cao Ledao felt as if his body was weakened. He sat down on the table and murmured, "This is also good..."
No need to continue living in fear. When the organization recruited people to explore this dungeon and try to study the role of Charisma, he couldn't wait to sign up. He would die in the dungeon sooner or later anyway, so he might as well die meaningfully.
After mumbling to himself, Cao Ledao suddenly realized that Wei Jun's expression was not right. His gaze was fixed firmly on one direction. He couldn't help but look back. His legs went weak with fear and he cried out in a hushed voice, "Heaven... Heaven's a divination!"
It's not even midnight yet, why is the boss coming to take the blame? Is his life at the cost of the other party coming in person?
The old man looked unfriendly and said, "Call out all your people."
Cao Ledao didn't care too much and leaned towards Wei Jun. He gradually regained his senses and felt that what he said was too arrogant.
No matter how powerful the ghosts in the dungeon are, they will not come directly to kill the players.
"I'm afraid there's another reason."
Wei Jun saw that Tian Yi Gua's expression was not right, so he did not insist on this matter. Even if he did not call him, the other party had the ability to destroy everyone in this mansion.
Soon, all the players gathered together, and the atmosphere was tense, as if it was about to explode at any time.
The flower snake wanted to pounce on Cao Ledao, who was the weakest, but Tian Yi Gua waved his sleeves and the flower snake immediately stopped.
After a quick glance, the old man asked coldly, "Does anyone know what a zombie is?"
Everyone looked at each other.
His eagle-like eyes lingered on each face for a moment, trying to capture their true emotions and see how much truth there was in what Soul said.
The old man slowly opened his mouth, "During the day, I asked that rascal to dissect a corpse to extract snake eggs. He was afraid of death, so he mixed various corpse fluids together, hoping to poison the snake eggs first... Later, he told me that he had created a zombie..."
Whether it was deception or revelation, I waited for these people to speak. But I didn't expect that the only response was extreme silence.
At this moment, the players' eyes were all wandering.
An unknown amount of time had passed, but Cao Ledao felt dizzy and even suspected for a moment that he was in an illusion created by ghosts.
What did he just hear?
Zombies?!
I bit my tongue hard to make sure that no matter how magical it sounds, it is reality.
Wei Jun was also incredulous and was stunned for a moment.
Suer is a member of Guifen, and everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to Ji Heng.
"It sounds bizarre at first," Ji Heng said calmly, "but didn't you explain the prerequisites?"
No matter how terrifying the story is, it can become a logical conclusion with the subject of Sul.
What's more, Tianyi Gua relies on drinking corpse fluids to increase his lifespan. It is not surprising that a corpse transformed into a neither-human nor-snake form is fed with these and becomes a zombie.
Although he knew it was inappropriate, Cao Ledao couldn't help but ask in a weak voice, "Has my fate of falling to death been changed invisibly?"
Song Jiayue, who had been silent the whole time, glanced at him and said, "Not just you, but all of humanity."
"…"
Ji Heng was the calmest one and asked Tian Yi Gua: "Does Suer want everyone to work together to deal with that zombie?"
The old man nodded impatiently. Inwardly, he was disdainful of Suer's suggestion. In his view, the people before him were as weak as ants and couldn't play much of a role. It was simply that the survival of Tianji City was at stake, and he simply couldn't afford to gamble.
He turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back and saw Ji Heng and others still standing there, feeling dissatisfied.
"Hurry up and catch up."
Ji Heng said at this time: "Protecting the world is everyone's responsibility."
It implies that the fortune teller should also contribute.
After he reminded him, Tianyi Gua finally remembered the fortune teller, but quickly shook his head: "He appears and disappears mysteriously..."
Wei Jun suddenly sighed softly, "It's a good thing the fortune teller didn't show up. It proves there's still room for recovery."
Before he could finish his words, Ji Heng winked at him and signaled him to look ahead.
The fortune teller was leaning against the thick branches of the ancient tree, his body covered with a layer of frost.
Wei Jun frowned, not knowing when he had activated the Crow's Mouth skill.
The fortune teller has an exceptionally handsome appearance. I still remember when we first met on the mountain, there was no trace of desire, greed, or even murderous intent on his face. This was different from the other hosts, and made people more wary.
And now... the false appearance of gentleness in his smiling eyes was gone, replaced by anger and murderous intent.
Ji Heng looked up at the treetops and said, "A zombie population means the rules of the world will be changed, and those rules need to be maintained. When you have the ability to save the world but do nothing, you are an accomplice to the disaster."
His words were powerful and impactful.
One player whispered, "Is this the legendary moral kidnapping?"
There was no need for anyone to answer. Looking at Ji Heng's look as if he was ready to die bravely, I knew it was confirmed.
Without standing there waiting, Ji Heng left with Tian Yi Gua after he finished speaking, and the other players followed one after another.
The streets were deserted at night, not even a night watchman could be seen. From time to time, a human-faced snake would emerge from a crack in the wall, only to retreat back into the crack in dismay at the whim of heaven.
"fine..."
Seeing this, Li Li couldn't help but sigh, fortunately they found a place to stay on the first day they entered Tianji City, otherwise they would have been chased by snakes at night.
Before they even reached the haunted house, they heard a strange noise. Pushing the door open, they discovered that the fortune teller, who had been sitting in the tree, had arrived before them. The courtyard was in shambles, and the impact of the shattered rocks had even created a hole in the edge of the well.
Sur was standing in the middle of the yard, with zombies behind him and the fortune teller in front of him. He had only two choices: hide behind the fortune teller and ask for help, or fight the zombies head-on.
Finally seeing the third person, he felt relieved and quickly mouthed, "Save me."
The zombies seemed to have the instincts of wild beasts. When the divine fortune teller arrived, even though they were already unconscious, they knew danger and stood still. Now that there were so many people around, the sound of their breathing irritated them, and they could no longer control themselves and pounced madly.
It is quite fast and has perfectly inherited the snake's hunting talent.
Su Er stopped hesitating and immediately ran towards the fortune teller.
If the host wants to kill himself again, the possibility of violating the rules is very small.
For a moment, the fortune teller really wanted to break the rules and kill this bastard, but considering the price he would have to pay later, he forced himself to hold back.
The fortune teller blocked the attack in front, and the two figures were as fast as lightning. One of the zombie's arms was removed, and several small snakes with red eyes crawled out from it, swimming towards the crowd at a rapid speed.
After witnessing the horror of this thing with his own eyes, Tian Yi Gua's expression gradually became serious. There were countless human-faced snakes in the yard. If a few more were infected, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The old man asked the human-faced snakes to disperse, and the players formed a team to kill the infected little snakes. The fortune teller was still fighting with the crazy zombies.
Most of the players looked stunned. They didn't even know what they were doing. Why did they end up fighting alongside the host?
As my thoughts raced, I saw snake carcasses scattered across the yard. Small snakes, even broken into pieces, were still able to wriggle and attack. Fortunately, headshots always seemed to work against the mutated creatures, and the situation was gradually brought under control.
At the moment when the moon was the brightest, the most terrifying zombie was finally completely shattered.
The stench, the smell of sweat, and the sound of panting were intertwined together, and everyone's sleeves were inevitably stained with blood, even the fortune teller.
Out of fear of the host, the players stood in groups, keeping their distance. But even if they tried to keep their distance, the courtyard was so small that one could see through it at a glance.
The divine fortune teller turned slightly to the side, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Sul's body.
Su Er thought for a moment and pointed at Tian Yi Gua: "He forced me to do this. He also provided the corpse and those messy liquids."
The old man glared at him fiercely and snorted coldly, but he didn't argue. He did want to use the snake eggs to kill Su Er. Even if he couldn't kill him, it would be enough to disgust him.
It can be said that the Tianyi hexagram provided the cause, and Suer gave free rein to it, resulting in evil consequences.
The fortune teller said nothing, but just looked at Suer, his sharp gaze making it impossible to avoid.
Su Er had a guilty conscience and stiffly changed the subject: "Where's the child?"
As soon as the words came out, the air seemed to freeze into ice.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard the word "get out" in a vicious tone.
Before everyone could react, they were already at the transit station. There were a few players who had just left the dungeon around them. One of them was walking towards the treasure appraisal point under the protection of his teammates.
Confirming that the dungeon had truly been opened, Cao Ledao, who had thought he was doomed, looked down at his hands and said in disbelief, "We...are we out?"
"How could this happen?" Su Er was also shocked, as if he had missed a hundred million. "Only half of the seven days have passed, and I haven't had time to do anything yet."
There are many points worth exploring in that copy.
Some people are born with the ability to leave others speechless just by opening their mouths.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent and awkward.
Su Er realized this, pursed his lips, and caught a glimpse of Ji Heng from the corner of his eye. The latter had his hands in his pockets, his back straight, and was looking up at the sky.
He asked in confusion: "What are you looking at?"
Ji Heng said calmly, "Wait for the sky and earth to change color, wait for dark clouds to gather, wait for the world's prompt sound to sound."
In other words, waiting for Suhr's achievement points.
"…"
The others probably had the same idea, and no one was in a hurry to leave and return to the real world.
A player passed by and recognized Ji Heng. Seeing the big guy looking up at the sky, he subconsciously stopped and looked up. Soon, dozens of people had gathered nearby.
A few minutes later, a man who had been waiting with them for some unknown reason couldn't hold it in any longer and approached the seemingly most talkative boy and asked, "Hey, little brother, why are you all looking up there? What's up there?"
Soul slowly closed his eyes: "...Who knows?"
