How much blood is there in a human body?
For ancient people, they probably didn't know the answer to this question clearly.
Even if they could cut off a person and catch the bleeding blood and weigh it, they still wouldn't be able to get an accurate answer.
But for Chen Yun, he can clearly understand that the human body's blood volume is equivalent to less than 10% of a person's body weight, which is about 7% or 8%.
In other words, a normal adult male weighing 120 pounds should have a blood volume of seven to nine pounds.
80% of the blood will continue to flow in the blood vessels, bringing oxygen and nutrients to various parts of the body.
The remaining 20% will be stored in the liver, spleen and bones of the human body. When the human body is injured and suffers from ischemia, the body's functions will quickly remove blood from these storage units to maintain the body's energy operation.
But no matter if all the blood in a person's blood vessels is drained out, or even the remaining 20% of blood in the liver, spleen and bones of his body is drained, the maximum of 120 kilograms is only nine kilograms of blood.
But the mummy before them didn't seem to be missing just nine kilograms of blood.
Moreover, there were not six mummies, but sixteen. During the time they received the report and arrived, the corpses of ten more people were found, and they also died after their blood and essence were sucked dry.
“There were six adult men, eight adult women, and two children!
An adult man should have weighed around 120 kilograms during his lifetime, but now, he weighs no more than 40 kilograms!
The woman's remaining skin and bones do not exceed thirty kilograms, let alone the child.
There was only one fatal wound on the deceased, which was all on the artery in the neck. It was suspected to be a wound gnawed by a wild animal.
All the corpses had no other wounds except for the wounds on the arteries, which meant that all the blood and flesh of these people had been sucked out from this wound!
It's a demon! "
After Wu Zuo carefully examined all the corpses, he came to his own conclusion.
Regarding his conclusion, Luo Dutou and Li Captou did not comment, but looked at Chen Yun.
For Chen Yun, as soon as he entered the house and saw these corpses, he knew that these people died at the hands of some kind of creature. No, he should tell his mouth.
[The corpse whose blood has been sucked by the Xishan ghost and whose whole body is full of energy and spirit must be cremated in time, otherwise it will turn into a walking corpse at night.
The value is the same as the waste residue of alchemy and cannot be eaten! ! 】
Not edible, this is the information and evaluation given by the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas.
However, although Chen Yun knew what kind of creature these corpses died in, the Book of Mountains and Seas did not give the specific description of what this creature looked like.
Because there is no physical object or there is no such creature in front of you, the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas has no other information at all.
“The Classic of Mountains and Seas, what kind of ghost is the Xishan Ghost?
A corpse that has been sucked of blood and the energy of the whole body can turn into a walking corpse. Could it be said that the Xishan Ghost is talking about zombies? "
For Chen Yun, watching Uncle Ying, Maoshan, and Vampire Zombie on TV since childhood are all childhood memories, which are very profound.
After being bitten by a vampire zombie, the corpse will turn into a walking zombie. This setting is found in almost all zombie movies.
So after getting the prompt, although the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas prompts that it is a Xishan ghost, not a zombie, but judging from the fact that people who are bitten to death will turn into walking corpses, what is the difference between this and zombies?
"The left deputy has his head, do you see anything?"
Not only Li Captou and Luo Dutou were staring at Chen Yun, but the government officials who came with them were also waiting for his ideas.
The most important thing is that the panic-stricken villagers surrounding him are also waiting for his conclusion.
The villagers had long known from the government officials that only Deputy Zuo Dutou among the people present had the ability to solve such a strange incident.
Therefore, this burden falls on Chen Yun's shoulders.
"Have you ever heard of Xishan Ghost?"
Chen Yun stood up, looked at Luo Dutou and Li Captou, and asked.
Li Captou shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, Luo Dutou, have you heard of it?"
Luo Dutou didn't hear anything about it, so he could only turn his attention to Chen Yun: "Deputy Zuo Dutou, tell us what this Xishan ghost is like?
Are all these corpses caused by that Xishan ghost? "
Chen Yun shook his head helplessly, not knowing how to explain it, but after thinking about it, he found an excuse and said:
“I don’t know exactly what the Xishan Ghost is, what kind of ghost it is, or what kind of demon it is, but I can tell from the evil energy remaining on these corpses that it is the work of the Xishan Ghost.
The reason why these dead people turned into a piece of skin and bones is because all their flesh, blood and essence were sucked by the Xishan ghost!
And I felt a strange force on their remaining skeletons.
As far as I know, all the corpses that died after being sucked by the Xishan ghost will turn into walking corpses that night.
These walking zombies have no intelligence, only instinct. The bloodthirsty instinct will drive them to attack all living creatures they see, sucking blood and eating meat to strengthen themselves! "
What Chen Yun said shocked everyone around him. He was already dead, but he could still come back to life and become a walking corpse?
And he also wants to attack all living creatures he sees, suck their blood, and eat their flesh to strengthen himself?
"really?"
Upon hearing what Chen Yun said, Luo Dutou asked seriously.
Chen Yun nodded and replied seriously: "Of course it's true!"
When Luo Dutou heard this, without saying a word, he stepped forward with his own gun and cut off the heads of all the corpses present.
It seemed that Luo Dutou was still very cautious. He did not use a knife or a sword. He just used a rifle to chop off the heads of these corpses from a distance.
After all, a sword is a six-edged sword with a long spear shaft. It can be stabbed and cut, so it is very useful.
"If you chop off the head, will these things come back to life?"
After settling all this, Luo Dutou asked Chen Yun again. Chen Yun didn't know, so he could only say: "We will know when it gets dark whether these things can be revived after losing their heads."
But Capt. Li was thinking about another thing: "Looking at the situation, these people were all killed at night by the Xishan ghost that Brother Zuo said had their flesh, flesh and spirit sucked away.
In other words, these so-called Xishan ghosts have regarded humans as their food.
So, tonight, will these so-called Xishan ghosts come again?
If it comes, can we stop it?
If they can't bear it, what will these people do? "
Chen Yun was a little curious, what should they do if they encountered this kind of thing before?
"What else can I do? Of course, after Wu Zuo's inspection, it was confirmed that it was a monster. If it was just an occasional revenge, I had no choice but to give up.
But if they eat humans, and the people and soldiers cannot deal with these monsters, then we can only temporarily avoid their attack and move the humans away for a few days.
After moving for a few days, these monsters couldn't find anyone to eat in the village, so they left.
Just come back then!
If that doesn't work, the government can go out and invite eminent monks to perform rituals to scare these demons and ghosts.
This has always been the case!
Unless the commotion is too big, it has to be reported to the court, and the court will mobilize real soldiers and horses to kill demons and demons with evil energy.
Most villages will have earth temples. Although the earth god is a small god, he can still protect ordinary villages. Therefore, this kind of disaster rarely occurs, but when it does happen, it is a big disaster, and almost all families are wiped out.
Usually, most of the troubles occur in villages without earth temples. When I entered the village just now, I asked people to see them. There is no earth temple here. "
Li Captou said.
Chen Yun nodded, and then asked again: "So, how should today's matter be handled according to usual practice?"
Li Captou looked at the corpses on the ground and felt a little worried.
“What we need to determine now is whether these monsters come to attack occasionally, or whether they really feed on humans!
If it only attacks occasionally, that's fine.
But if these monsters feed on humans, then they will definitely not eat just once or only a few people.
They will regard this place or the place where all the people live as a barn or a granary.
And people are their food reserves!
In this case, we need to know the number of the other party, and then we can report it and request the army to exterminate the monsters! "
Chen Yun understood: "In other words, we have to stay in the village tonight?
Only then can we figure out what kind of thing the other party is! "
Captain Li's eyes widened and he asked, "Why do you have such strange thoughts?
In the past, of course we couldn't stay in the village, and we couldn't deal with the monsters if we stayed in the village!
You only need to go back and wait overnight, and come back the next day to see if there are any casualties before you can draw a conclusion.
If not, then what happened was just a coincidence.
If there are casualties,
Then we have to see how many died, and we can draw a conclusion as to what kind of monster the other party is and how many they eat in a day.
Finally, decide whether to relocate all the villagers elsewhere!
Let’s see if we need to notify the superiors to send troops to exterminate the demonic chaos! "
Luo Du also patted Chen Yun on the shoulder: "We couldn't do anything before, but now that you are here, maybe we can give it a try!
You are full of evil spirits, and all demons and ghosts will give you three points!
In addition, almost all of our officers have eaten the tiger meat you gave us. Whether it is blood or strength, they are no longer comparable to before. Just as you said, they have been reborn.
In addition, many people died this time, so it was naturally impossible for the government to turn a blind eye.
Since we have you, and since we have all been reborn, and our strength and blood have more than doubled, we might try to stay here tonight to see what kind of ghost this Xishan ghost is.
See if you can kill it!
You know better than us in this regard. Can you tell us what preparations we need to make tonight? "
Chen Yun thought for a while: "I suspect that this Xishan ghost is something like a zombie. Zombies are afraid of black dog blood and glutinous rice. Let's prepare some.
At night, if such monsters really come, you can try using black dog blood and glutinous rice to see if it works. "
When Wu Zuo heard the word zombie from the side, his eyes lit up: "Yes!
The flesh and blood from the whole body was sucked out from the neck, which was obviously done by zombies.
And zombies are indeed afraid of black dog blood and glutinous rice! "
Hearing Wu Zuo say the same thing, Luo Dutou quickly and resolutely ordered: "Pass my order to gather everyone in the village in a courtyard and guard it with heavy troops.
Collect glutinous rice in the village and then ask the people in the village if there are any black dogs.
You have to act fast and get all these things done before dark! "
So, dozens of people hurriedly went from house to house to inform them. They all went to the ancestral hall in the village and gathered in one place for better defense.
I don’t know if it’s an iron rule. In every village, as long as people have the same surname, the tallest and most spacious one in their village is often the clan ancestral hall.
Therefore, there are nearly three hundred people in their village, all concentrated in the clan ancestral hall on the fourth floor. Surprisingly, it is quite comfortable to accommodate them all.
All the firewood was collected, and large fires were lit one after another inside and outside the ancestral hall. The brightness of the torches was limited, but the fires could illuminate a long distance.
Basically, it can prevent monsters from attacking at night without people being aware of it.
But at this time, Li Captou, Luo Dutou, and Chen Yun were all standing in front of sixteen mummies that had been decapitated, that is, their heads had been chopped off.
Because although these sixteen corpses had their heads chopped off, they were all alive at this time, even without their heads.
It's just that they don't have a head. Although they are alive and can crawl, they really can't stand up without a head.
These skinny mummies, with only a piece of skin covering their bones, actually had long black nails growing out of their nails, resembling wild beasts.
Even their chopped off heads were opening and closing to make roaring sounds, but I don't know how they could make sounds without vocal cords.
"Sure enough, they all turned into zombies, but it's really weird that they didn't die, their heads were chopped off!
What would have happened if the head had not been chopped off? "
Li Captou was a little helpless and a little timid.
Luo Dutou deserves to be in charge of a violent organization in the county. He is more concerned about another issue: "Deputy Zuo Dutou, these guys have their heads chopped off and they are still alive.
How can we make them die completely? "
Chen Yun took the gun in his hand, picked up a corpse crawling on the ground like a headless fly, and threw it into the fire.
This walking corpse was like a torch covered in oil and lit by a fire stick. It caught fire with a pop, and it was all on fire!
And unexpectedly, it was very powerful!
Following the same pattern, Capt. Li and Luo Dutou used knives and guns to throw the corpses crawling on the ground into the fire.
It can be said that these mummies are very attractive to fire, and gasoline cannot catch fire as fast as them.
Soon all these corpses were turned into a handful of ashes, perhaps mixed with the ashes in the fire.
"In other words, these ghosts are afraid of fire?"
Luo Dutou seemed to have some realization.
“I don’t know if they are afraid of fire, but I know they are afraid of the sun!
Otherwise, how could he come out at night? "
A group of common people crowded into the clan ancestral hall with panic on their faces. A large fire was burning in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
The house is also filled with lanterns, so that people or ghosts can be seen in the dark night.
There were dozens of government officials and civilian soldiers, armed with swords, guns, bows, arrows and torches.
Luo Dutou wanted to try the torch. Can he use this thing to repel the enemy?
In other words, exorcise demons.
Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings of birds came from the night sky. Not only Li, Luo Dutou and Chen Yun heard it, but others also heard it, because the sound was quite loud!
