"Maybe it's passing by? This thing obviously came from a very far away place. Yesterday we checked the surroundings carefully. There were small bells there. There can't be anything missing"! Lei Min shook his head.
"Maybe it was attracted to us because we live here." Lin Qingqing looked around and didn't see anything similar to food, except for the zombie outside the wall.
Wait... zombies? Forest keeper?
"I think it was probably raised by the ranger," Lin Qingqing thought for a while and said.
The ranger did have dogs, because there happened to be a brick kennel in the corner of the yard, and there was a deformed aluminum rice bowl next to the kennel.
"The ranger's dog"?
"Then why isn't it in the yard?"
"Maybe it went out to hunt for food." Lin Qingqing guessed: "Zombies will eat as long as it is fresh flesh and blood. There has been no one here for a long time. It is estimated that this zombie dog was attracted by the animals in the forest. But it can still remember to come back. Home, this is a magical thing."
Lin Qingqing has been using her shield to resist the zombie dog's attack. After analyzing its origin, everyone's curiosity was satisfied, and it was time to deal with the zombie dog.
"Everyone, be careful. This dog is very fast. Xiao Lingdang and Qu Xingchi come into the house first. Minmin comes with me to kill it!"
As soon as Lin Qingqing finished speaking, the dog turned around a few times and charged forward again. This time it did not charge at Lin Qingqing, but changed its target to Lei Min.
Seeing the zombie dog turning into a black shadow and rushing towards her, Lei Min quickly crossed the copper staff to block it in desperation.
The copper staff deformed slightly with a "ding" sound, and Lei Min was also hit and took a step back.
"This zombie dog is quite strong"! Lei Min frowned and looked at the copper staff in his hand.
"Don't be careless"!
Lin Qingqing put away her ice shield and replaced it with her usual ice skates.
The cold air emanating from the ice blade made the zombie dog very afraid. It avoided Lin Qingqing and continued to attack Lei Min.
"This beast knows how to pick on people, huh~ It seems like he still has the instinct of being a dog and knows who is easy to mess with and who is not to be messed with." Lei Min sneered.
Lei Min put away the copper staff and only held a short knife. The left hand moved, and then three thunderballs were shot at the zombie dog's head one after another.
I originally thought that under the threat of the three thunder beads, even if I couldn't kill it, I could at least cause some damage to it. It's a pity that this zombie dog managed to dodge all the thunderballs in a few moves, and continued to attack her without stopping.
This completely aroused Lei Min's competitive spirit. With Lin Qingqing there, she did not hide. She just stood on the spot, attacking with attack. She condensed the thunder beads again at an extremely fast speed, and attacked the dog's head with a wave of her hand.
This time the zombie dog still relied on its speed to dodge the first four, leaving only a black scar on its body surface.
Still not getting a direct hit, Lei Min frowned and increased the number of thunder beads again. After all, no matter how flexible it was, there would always be times when it couldn't be avoided.
At this moment, Lin Qingqing's ice blade also took action. Although the ice blade is not as powerful as the thunder bead, no matter how powerful the zombie dog is, its abilities are limited. If it can avoid the ice blade, it cannot avoid the thunder bead.
Just like that, with the ice blade in front and Lei Min's thunder bead behind, the zombie dogs were driven all over the yard and the walls and ground were pockmarked by the thunder bead ice blade.
The opponent was so difficult to deal with, and it was unable to do anything about it for a while, but it was very reluctant to leave.
This is its home, and these intruders are its food. It is instinct to hunt, and it is also instinct to protect the home. But a zombie dog is still a zombie after all. It will not run away, it will only increase its speed to the limit and rush towards the target again and again.
In this way, under the repeated blockades of thunder beads and ice blades all over the sky, the zombie dog was finally hit by a thunder bead on its hind legs and flew backwards, and its abdomen was also cut by the ice blade. Long wounds.
Seeing it fall to the ground, Lin Qingqing and Lei Min raised their hands and fired several more thunder balls and ice blades.
In the end, the zombie dog howled and was blasted into a pile of minced meat.
Lin Qingqing stepped forward and used the ice blade to poke out of curiosity.
Pulling open its broken head, a crystal core was found in a mass of black material.
The style of this crystal core is different from the one inside the zombie body. It is rhombus-shaped with only four corners. The color is the same as the other crystal nuclei, which is red. It is probably also of fire attribute.
For a while, Lin Qingqing couldn't judge the level of this crystal core.
The crisis outside had been resolved. Wen Ling and Qu Xingchi opened the door and walked out.
"Captain, there are no other zombies around. This zombie dog is probably just an accident," Wen Ling said.
"Well, this zombie dog may still have the habit of going home before, which is why we bumped into each other. There shouldn't be another one."
Lin Qingqing said so and asked Lei Min to find a shovel and prepare to throw the zombies and zombie dogs away.
"Captain, come and see"!
Lei Min was behind the house, pointing at the mound of dirt next to a clearing near the bamboo forest and shouting at Lin Qingqing.
The three of them walked over together after hearing this.
"No wonder we were wondering where the ranger's wife was before. It turns out she is here."
Lin Qingqing suddenly realized that the mound Lei Min found was a simple earthen grave. It should have been dug by the ranger himself. There was also a wooden board inserted in front of the grave with his wife's name written on it.
The writing on the wooden board has been washed away by the rain and is blurred, but the words "The Wife Loves Flowers" can still be vaguely seen.
Lin Qingqing took the shovel, dug a big hole next to the grave, and buried the zombie-turned-forest ranger and the guard dog in it.
"Let them reunite as husband and wife underground"!
After burying the body, the four of them bowed slightly toward the two mounds.
The sun has risen at this moment, and dewdrops are rolling down one after another on the green bamboo leaves.
Two tombs stand side by side in the open space next to the bamboo forest. One is newer and the other is older. From a distance, they look extremely harmonious.
"Let's just stay here for now."
We don’t know when the zombie wave outside will end. It’s quiet and safe here. As long as we can find food, it doesn’t matter how long we want to stay.
This ranger's courtyard is built on the mountainside. There is a river at the foot of the mountain. There are bamboo forests and trees everywhere on the mountain. Today they plan to take a look around.
"Since the zombie dog can find food, it means there must be other wild animals on this mountain."
"There is a river at the foot of the mountain. I'm going to see if there are any fish in the river"!
"I am coming too"!
Hearing what Lin Qingqing said, Lei Min and Qu Xingchi were eager to give it a try.
"Then Minmin and Xingchi are together, and I'm bringing the little bell"!
Wilderness adventure is very novel for young people like them who have grown up in the city. Lin Qingqing is fine with it. When Lei Min and Qu Xingchi see the river, their eyes immediately light up, as if they have seen fish.
So the fishing rod they found before finally came in handy. The two of them carried the bucket and the fishing rod and walked down the mountain with great interest.
