"It's been five years?"
Bai Ze was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that just zombie meat? It's harmful to the body and I won't eat it."
After saying that, he ran to the side to sleep alone.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled helplessly, and then took out a small gas tank-like thing from his pocket. After lighting it, he placed the meat can on it and started cooking.
Zhou Xiaohong and Li Xiaomin also followed suit. Everyone set up gas tanks and started cooking canned meat.
After a while, there was a sizzling sound inside the iron box. Zhang Xiaohua put on a pair of gloves and yanked the ring, and the lid of the meat can was opened.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of meat spread throughout the cave, making my index fingers twitch.
"Mr. Cheng, this is yours."
Zhang Xiaohua held the canned meat and handed it to me.
"You guys eat first and don't worry about me."
I said politely.
"Mr. Cheng, we have a lot more, enough for everyone, you're welcome."
Zhang Xiaohua said stubbornly.
He said so, and I was no longer polite, so I took it. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and continued to cook canned food.
As soon as I took the can in my hand, the fragrant aroma penetrated my nostrils and aroused my five internal organs.
Looking down, I saw that the canned soup in the iron box was full of soup and the meat was plump and tender. It didn't look like zombie meat.
Pick up a piece of meat with your fingers and put it in your mouth. You will immediately feel the full aroma filling your taste buds, which greatly increases your appetite.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the can, I stopped being cautious, hugged the tin box and started eating.
After a while, Lonnie, Jing Jingjing, Liao Xian'er, and Wei Nanshan already had a box in their hands. Everyone was eating with gusto. Only Bai Ze was lying on the side with a gurgling sound in his stomach.
"Mr. Bai, please eat some too. This can is really not zombie meat."
Zhang Xiaohua knew that he was embarrassed, so she walked over with a box of cans and persuaded him to eat some too.
"Don't eat!"
Bai Ze's attitude was resolute: "A manly man, spit and nail, if you say you won't eat, you won't eat!"
With that said, Bai Ze took out a bag of compressed dry food from his pocket and started chewing on it.
Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to look at me for help. I shrugged, saying that I was helpless, and then pointed at Jingjing, signaling for her to think of a solution.
An Jingjing said deliberately: "Such a delicious canned meat, but there is no shop like this after passing this village."
"Husband, do you want to try it?"
"Don't eat!"
Bai Ze stuck to his bottom line and did not waver.
"Hmph, don't eat if you don't want to. If you're hungry in the middle of the night, don't say we didn't leave you any leftovers!"
Jingjing also lost her temper. She curled her lips, ignored Bai Ze, and just started eating on her own.
Seeing this young couple bickering over a box of cans, I couldn't help but smile.
Bai Ze just has too much self-esteem. What's this called? He's pretending to be fat, but he's not the one who's going to starve in the end.
I shook my head and left half of the can in my hand, planning to pass it to Bai Ze quietly later to prevent him from really starving.
After eating and drinking, I lay down on the ground and prepared to rest for a while, but I didn't expect that I would fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.
In my daze, I heard a subtle chewing sound coming from the cave, mixed with a strong smell of meat.
This guy couldn't help but show his face in front of everyone, and now he started eating secretly in the middle of the night?
I chuckled secretly and planned to get up and take the remaining cans to him.
However, when I turned around and looked, I found a figure squatting on the ground, holding an empty can in his hand, smashing it and licking it vigorously.
Because it was very dark in the cave, I couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his body shape, he didn't look much like Bai Ze.
In confusion, I lit a fire stick and pointed it at the man.
At this moment, the figure suddenly turned his head and looked towards me.
Suddenly, my heart trembled and I almost dropped the fire stick!
Crouching in front of me was a "person" wearing ragged clothes. His eyes were protruding, his face was hateful, and his body was filled with endless death energy. He looked extremely terrifying.
After seeing me, the man threw the can box aside and opened his mouth to me, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs!
Zombies!
Only then did I realize that this monster that looked like a human but was not human was actually a zombie!
"Roar!"
The zombie screamed and suddenly rushed towards me.
I snorted coldly, condensed a thunder fire in my palm, and shot it out instantly.
With a loud noise, the zombie let out a howl in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.
I quickly stepped forward, only to find that the clothes on the zombie had completely fallen off, revealing a body of brass-colored skin.
And the thunder and fire bombardment just now, apart from shattering the zombie's clothes, did not cause any damage to him!
However, although my move just now did not hurt the zombie, it still caused a considerable shock to him.
When the zombie saw me approaching, he showed fear on his face and trembled all over, as if he was very afraid of me.
Immediately, before I could react, the bronze corpse's limbs bounced on the ground and rushed deeper into the cave. In an instant, it disappeared.
The movement just now woke up everyone who was sleeping. Lonnie got up and ran to me.
"Xiao Chengzi, what happened?"
Others gathered around, looking confused.
"There are zombies in this cave."
Looking at the direction in which the zombies were fleeing, I said in a deep voice.
Immediately, I described the zombie image I just saw and asked everyone if anyone knew the type of zombie.
"A zombie that moves quickly, can resist thunder and fire attacks, and has a brass-colored body..."
Lonnie dragged her chin and thought for a while, and quickly gave an answer.
"If I guessed correctly, this should be a specially refined bronze corpse!"
"Bronze corpse?"
I was stunned and asked curiously: "How come I haven't heard of this kind of zombie?"
Lonnie explained: "The copper corpse is not formed naturally, but is specially refined. Usually, a copper tripod is prepared first, and grease, cinnabar, and copper sand are put in it, and then the person being refined is thrown into the bronze tripod alive. Inside, it is completely sealed, isolating the yin and yang."
"After that, it needs to be tempered with fire for seventy-seven and forty-nine days. During these forty-nine days, the fire cannot be extinguished, and it must always remain stable. In this way, even if the person being sacrificed dies, the soul cannot leave. , will eventually be sealed within the physical body and be refined together with the body."
"The zombies produced in this way are bronze corpses. According to legend, the bronze corpses not only move fast and react quickly, but are also invulnerable and powerful."
"Based on your description, I guessed that what you just saw should be a bronze corpse!"
