I don’t know why, but at times like this, time feels very long.
Many images flashed through my mind...
Even the sound of wind in my ears became a little distant and vague.
All I know is that I am getting closer and closer to the ground!
"It's over!"
Just when I thought I was about to have a close contact with the hard ground, and then die or be seriously injured.
Just when I was probably less than three meters above the ground.
This is the critical moment!
Sudden!
call……
A rope, like a sensitive python, shot out from the canopy and headed towards me.
No!
Maybe this rope had already flown out, but just when I was about to land. It finally caught up and wrapped itself around my waist.
I suddenly felt like my whole body was suspended in the air.
His arms and legs were spread out, facing forward, like a big frog hanging in the air.
At this moment, I was less than one meter away from the ground!
The sweat on my forehead dripped down one by one.
Lao Cao's frightened voice came from the canopy above.
"Finally we caught up! Xiao Wu, are you okay?"
It was as if my soul had returned to its original state and I came back to my senses.
I looked down at the rope around my waist - it was Lao Cao's phoenix rope. He took action at the same time I fell from the tree, threw the rope down and entangled me.
In fact, if we explain it from a physical point of view, due to the huge inertia, I was suddenly wrapped around my waist by something as thin as a rope during my rapid fall.
When the two forces pull each other, the most likely result is that the person is strangled directly until his internal organs rupture!
But the actual situation was not like this. Not only was I not injured at all, I was still hovering steadily in the air.
This is because Lao Cao's "phoenix rope" is no longer an ordinary hemp rope - it has been with him for decades in his coffin-carrying career and has been integrated with his "qi", which is equivalent to a "magic weapon" s things.
When cast, it can be regarded as a kind of magic. It can naturally surpass common sense and break scientific cognition to a certain extent!
Facing Lao Cao's concerned inquiry, I took a deep breath and responded to him.
"I'm fine! Thanks to Lao Cao for your timely rescue, otherwise I'm afraid I would have fallen miserably. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, I will remember it in my heart."
"Haha! Xiao Wu, don't be so polite."
While Lao Cao was speaking, the rope should also be slowly being lowered to the ground.
At a height of just over one meter, I quickly landed on the ground and untied the rope around my waist. Watching it swish, the other end was taken back into the canopy.
I stood under the tree, put my hands to my mouth and shouted upward, "Have you solved the corpse that attacked me just now? Also, Lao Cao, you and Uncle Yuan should be careful when you come down."
Yuan Fei's voice sounded, looking a little depressed.
He said: "When you called just now, I immediately crawled in the direction of the sound. But my movements were still a little slow. Master Cao moved quickly and had already taken care of all three walking corpses."
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw three black figures "whooshing" and being pulled by ropes and falling from the canopy above my head.
Shocked!
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be three corpses tied up with hemp ropes. They were tied tightly, unable to move, and their eyes were tightly closed.
It looks no different from an ordinary corpse - I didn't expect it to be a walking corpse that can violently injure people!
The other end of the rope was still in the hands of Lao Cao in the canopy.
I have to say, he was really good at playing with the rope!
Saving people and tying up zombies is the right thing to do.
Then I saw Lao Cao and Yuan Fei slowly climbing down from the tree and walking to me.
Together they stared at the three bodies lying at their feet.
Among them, the bodies of the female saleswoman and the male chef who had hanged themselves the night before were fine. After all, they were sent to the hospital morgue not long after they were hung on the tree.
It is normal to have no signs of decay when stored in a low temperature environment.
But the body of the shoemaker's son had died a few days ago, and it was Lao Cao and Daniel who personally carried the coffin and buried it... Logically speaking, it should have rotted!
But now it looks like it has just died, with no signs of decay.
This means that it is about to transform from an ordinary walking zombie to a vicious zombie!
I kicked the thing hard and said fiercely: "Oh my god! No wonder this stupid thing is more ferocious. It hides in the leaves next to it and makes sneak attacks. It is more powerful than the other two."
After death, there is a corpse.
And if the corpse has resentment, or is stimulated and disturbed by some external forces and cannot rest in peace, it will transform into a walking corpse!
This is also the lowest form of corpse evil.
If the walking corpse goes further, it will be a more powerful and evil corpse - the "Miss Duan" I encountered while carrying the coffin is the top corpse.
Coupled with the formation of the fetus in her belly, it is equivalent to two murderous corpses joining forces, and they are still a mother and child with a connected heart.
Of course it is very difficult!
What is more powerful than the evil corpse is naturally the corpse that turns into an evil spirit and becomes an evil corpse - it can also be called a zombie evil in reverse. Anyway, that's what it is.
A few years ago, my unlucky little friend Wang Fei was turned into a corpse after being dragged into the river with a water stick and drowned!
And later I heard from the master that the "water stick" that caught him as a substitute might be a corpse that had been lying at the bottom of the river for many years, and it might have turned into an evil spirit itself.
Therefore, the corpse evil transformed by Wang Fei is naturally very powerful.
In addition, that guy killed his biological parents when he came up, and he was filled with endless evil, which made him even more vicious!
Let's put it this way, that night that year, if my master hadn't arrived in time.
My dad, Huang San'er, the old village chief and the rest of the people who went to investigate would all have to confess on the spot that no one would survive in Wang Fei's house! If it gets serious, the whole village may be destroyed...
So much so that when I learned some time ago that there were dangers all around, I was extremely frightened.
Fortunately, my master is here!
Having said that, the three corpses lying on the ground now are even those of the most powerful shoemaker's son. They are just ordinary walking corpses, much weaker than Miss Duan.
But the problem is... none of them have a reason to transform into corpses!
You should not feel resentful if you commit suicide because of your own problems.
It's strange enough that they all came to hang themselves in this "death-killing demon tree". After they died, they all turned into corpses, gathered from different places and hid in the tree.
What is this operation?
It’s simply puzzling!
Therefore, although the "escaped" body has been found, there are more and more mysteries in front of us.
Yuan Fei: "Old Cao, what do you think about this matter?"
Lao Cao: "Look with your eyes."
I:"……"
I really didn’t expect this old man to be quite good at telling funny jokes!
Sudden!
My heart skipped a beat, my scalp numbed, and a strange intuition surged in my heart.
It was as if... there seemed to be a pair of eyes hidden in the dark staring at us secretly in the darkness at the intersection not far away.
It felt so real that I couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Who? Who's there!"
Lao Cao and Yuan Fei next to him were both stunned and didn't know why.
Yuan Fei also looked in that direction: "What's wrong, Brother Wu?"
"careful!!!"
Lao Cao roared loudly, grabbed Yuan Fei and me with his left and right hands at the same time, and pushed towards the side with all his strength.
Whoosh whoosh!
I heard a sharp sound piercing the air, as if something flew over from the intersection, and it was very powerful.
Puff puff!
Three sharp piercing sounds sounded almost without interruption.
I turned around suddenly and saw three steel nails in a row on the trunk of the old yellow horn tree behind me, which was like a wall - all of them had been sunk into the trunk, leaving only the tail shining in the dim street light. With dim light.
Apparently, my hunch was right. There is indeed someone there!
And he also launched an attack on us, throwing powerful steel needles from a long distance - which is also some kind of secret method in the world.
"Catch him! This guy is probably the one who is doing something secretly."
Lao Cao roared again and took the lead...
