In the end, I lost the chase.
Jing Hexuan didn't find anyone when he came back. He heard that everyone was gathering at the west gate and followed him there.
Tie Shuan and Widow Li's bodies had been brought in and placed on the mat, covered with a white cloth.
Tieshuan's wife also woke up, her eyes were blank, and she was sitting in a daze.
All the night lights on both sides of the street were lit, and the guards stood silently beside the corpse. Other city residents stood around in groups, but no one spoke.
In the quiet night, except for the sound of the cold wind, there were thousands of people gathered together, including half-year-old children, but there was no sound at all.
It's a bit scary to see this kind of scene unexpectedly.
Shi Lingyao was standing near the corpse.
When Jing Hexuan and his party arrived, the two elders of the Shi family were conducting an autopsy.
Their conclusions are consistent with Shi Lingyao's preliminary judgment.
"The wounds on the body are caused by human teeth. The eaten parts are all concentrated in the softer parts of the abdomen and the inside of the arms. This is also consistent with the characteristics of zombies eating people." Shi Zeqi removed the sheep intestines Gloves, wipe your hands with a handkerchief.
Xu Qing nodded in agreement.
Her expression was a little worried: "Then this is very unreasonable. The zombies have always ignored us, the zombie people. In their eyes, we are the same kind. Why would they suddenly attack us?"
Jing Hexuan stepped forward and lifted up the white cloth, looked at it, and then covered it back: "I discovered something."
Everyone looked at him, and he raised his voice slightly and told everyone about the abnormal situation of the zombies he had just discovered.
Shi Lingyao's expression was a bit dangerous.
She also immediately thought of the human beings who ate the red branches: "I still have a blood red branch that I haven't found yet..."
Xu Qing frowned: "Then this will be troublesome."
Qu Bai thought thoughtfully: "So it's possible that humans did it?"
Shi Lingyao's eyes fell on the two corpses: "It's still a little different. He Yuanqing's father and brother turned into completely irrational monsters after eating red branches that day, and they were not interested in the transformed zombies. If this It’s the same kind of thing to criticize zombies, so they shouldn’t be interested in us zombies.”
"And there is something very important." Jing Hexuan said suddenly.
Shi Ling looked at him from afar, and the two of them thought of going together.
She nodded: "Yes, their heads have been opened. Zombies will not take the initiative to open the heads of their prey."
Jing Hexuan asked her: "Is there a mysterious crystal in the corpse man's head?"
Shi Lingyao shook his head: "We have never verified this."
After all, if you want to know this question, you need to open your skull.
Everyone is a second life, and we really can't kill someone's life just for such a guess.
Li Yue came forward with a serious look on his face and whispered to the two of them: "That old man is dying."
Everyone's attention just now was on the two horrific corpses, and they didn't notice that Jing Hexuan's team also carried someone when they came back.
Aunt Zhang discovered Lao Huang who was carried back early in the morning and stood by him with a worried look on his face.
Xu Qing stepped forward to inspect and frowned: "Why is Lao Huang still out so late?"
Lao Huang's breath was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't lift it up or swallow it.
The wound across his throat almost severed his neck, blood stained his entire upper body red, and his face was stained with blood.
In just a short period of time, the ground beneath him was covered in blood.
His eyes were wide open, and he saw Xu Qing coming over, struggling to reach out and squeeze her hand, and there was a constant roar in his throat, as if he had something important to say.
Veins popped out on the backs of his hands and face due to the exertion, and the entire face looked ferocious and terrifying.
Aunt Zhang shook her head repeatedly: "I don't know what he wanted to say! He kept struggling to speak, but his throat was bitten off..."
Shi Lingyao stepped forward, and the green light in his hand fell on Lao Huang's throat.
The green light seemed to sink into the sea, without arousing any reaction.
Shi Lingyao frowned: "No, my healing ability won't work on the fatal injuries of my tribe."
Her healing ability was weakened by more than half among the zombie clan.
In other words, with the same amount of abilities, she can treat humans with immediate results, but treating her tribe can only provide relief.
Lao Huang held Xu Qing's hand tightly, but kept staring at Shi Lingyao, his wide eyes full of bloodshot eyes.
"Uu...uh--"
The sound was like a broken bellows, with a sharp sound.
Shi Lingyao's eyes were helpless and sad: "I'm sorry, Uncle Huang, I..."
Finally, Lao Huang couldn't hold on any longer. He loosened Xu Qing's hand and fell heavily to the ground.
I will never die with my eyes in peace.
Shi Zeqi closed Lao Huang's eyes, took the back of Xu Qing's hand and rubbed it: "Did he see something?"
Jing Hexuan replied: "When we arrived, he was already surrounded. The group of zombies fled immediately after discovering us. We found nothing else nearby."
He paused and gestured with his head.
A soldier took three red branches and handed them over, then retreated.
Jing Hexuan handed the red branch to Shi Lingyao: "Near Lao Huang, they found three red branches."
Shi Lingyao took it: "It's a red branch."
Xu Qing remembered: "Lao Huang has been setting up traps with red branches recently, trying to attract some prey."
She said looking at her old man.
Shi Zeqi nodded: "We were chatting on the street a few days ago and I heard him talk about it."
Jing Hexuan looked down at the corpse in front of him and said with no emotion in his tone: "Maybe we can verify whether the murderer found what he wanted."
Aunt Zhang looked up at him in confusion.
Shi Ling understood instantly.
They looked at each other.
Jing Hexuan: "If you can't bear to do it, I can..."
"I'll do it." Shi Zeqi interrupted him.
Shi Lingyao understood what his father meant.
Jing Hexuan and his party have just joined Taoyuan City, and they are still human beings. Not all tribesmen recognize them.
In contrast, the tribesmen trust Shi Lingyao's family more.
She looked around, spread her thoughts, and sent her voice clearly to the ears of every city citizen.
"In addition to the marks of zombie bites on the bodies of Tieshuan and Li, there are also signs of their heads being smashed and stirred. I temporarily judge that the murderer may be trying to find whether they also have Xuan Jing in their brains."
Everyone looked at each other, and it could be seen that they were still a little nervous and apprehensive, but still no one spoke, they just looked at Shi Lingyao quietly.
Her voice was firm and clear: "This is also unknown to us, so next, we have to open Lao Huang's head and check his brain."
Everyone's eyes turned to Lao Huang, who had completely lost his breath.
Some people bowed silently, and then others bowed.
One, three, ten, dozens, hundreds...
The crowd was silent and bowed in the direction of Old Huang's body.
The two elders of the Shi family, Shi Lingyao and Jing Hexuan, who were standing next to the corpse, also bent down.
Xu Qing stood up and pulled Aunt Zhang, who was standing by, aside.
Shi Zeqi put on the gut gloves again.
Shi Lingyao and Jing Hexuan each had a lantern to help him illuminate his surroundings.
The wind is freezing and the humidity in the air is increasing.
It's going to snow soon.
