The first and most nerve-wracking thing is that there are a large number of corpses densely embedded on the trunk of this big tree!
That's right, it's inlay.
A dry corpse with no clothes and a dark body, its back was glued to the tree trunk and embedded in the tree trunk. Turn the front side outward, exposing a small part of the front side.
There are men and women, old and young.
Their eyes were closed tightly, and the exposed skin on their faces, chests, and hands was covered with a layer of fine, downy hyphae.
Obviously, the entire village is already here!
I also found that there were two empty places in a certain area of the big tree - I guess the people who were originally there were Wang Xinren and the other corpse that Xiaoyuan and I killed in the house. .
Second, it is the junction between the big tree and the ground, which obviously does not look like a tree root.
Normally, a tree is rooted in the ground. Then there should be an obvious transition where the tree trunk meets the ground.
But this tree doesn’t!
It was as if the ground had directly "stuck" it, which was very abrupt.
There is only one possibility...
"There should be another layer below this cement floor! Go down there, and there is a deeper space underground."
Lao Cao lightly stepped on the ground with his feet and continued talking.
"This weird big tree actually grew from deeper underground, and then broke through the cement dam in the center of Daling Village! In other words, what we see now is probably just the top of the tree. It's at the top. It just doesn't have a canopy."
Is there something weirder deep underground?
Everyone was startled.
But if you take a closer look at the lower part of this weird tree, Lao Cao is probably right!
We stared at the strange tree filled with corpses in front of us. After careful observation, we felt a little silent and at a loss for a while.
Yuan Fei stared at the faces of the corpses for a while and said.
"Brother Cao, the gray fluff on the faces of these corpses reminds me of something extremely terrifying..."
"It's a zombie, right?"
Lao Cao responded calmly.
That's right!
Yuan Fei nodded.
"Although I have never actually seen a zombie, it is said that zombies will grow short and hard hair of various colors. For example, zombies with short black hair are called black zombies. Zombies with short white hair are called black zombies. Furry zombies are called white zombies. So when you see these zombies with gray, fluffy hyphae on their bodies, would you..."
Before Lao Cao could speak, I took over.
"Uncle Yuan is worried that these things are zombies? That's not necessary. I heard my master say that the color of hair on zombies is not arbitrary. In fact, there are only two types of regular zombies, black zombies and white zombies. , and not gray.”
"More importantly... zombies are as difficult to deal with as zombies. Although the zombies in Daling Village are weird and weird, their combat power is far inferior to that of ordinary zombies. How can they be like zombies? How can we compare it to something so violent?”
Madoka next to her made a cooing sound - just hearing this bird's cry was full of ridicule, and then its mean voice rang in everyone's mind.
"I said, Xiao Yuan, you are so full of nonsense. If these things are zombies, let's check it out! Just lie down and prepare to go to the underworld together. I have seen the most powerful people. Zombie’s, these things are not even suitable for carrying shoes for zombies.”
Well……
Although Yuan Fei was scolded by Xiao Yuan, a stupid bird, he was not unhappy - anyway, everyone knew the character of this stupid bird, and no one had the same experience as it.
What's more, he also felt that he was thinking too much, scratching his head.
"I don't think it's a bit similar. I've never seen a real zombie. I've only heard about the difference between black zombies and white zombies. I was wondering if the short hard hair on zombies is the same as those on these zombies. Is there anything similar about the downy hyphae?"
Among our group, only Xiao Yuan and Lao Cao have seen real zombies.
This guy Xiao Yuan talks about running the train and is not reliable at all, so everyone looks at Lao Cao. Just now, he was the first to guess what Yuan Fei was worried about...
Lao Cao said.
"I have indeed seen zombies twice, and once I participated in a battle with zombies. It was just that I was not the main force in the battle, but an auxiliary one. The short hairs on the zombies were like steel needles. Although it was very It's short, but very straight, and extremely hard. And it's very poisonous!"
"Once a person is pricked by this kind of zombie hair, the wound will soon swell and turn black, and black pus and blood will flow out. Although it is not as powerful as the corpse poison in the zombie's teeth and nails, it should not be underestimated."
"So it is different from the soft, curly mycelium on the zombies. It's just that terrifying and vicious things like zombies are rare, and I don't know much about them. "
When we had almost finished chatting, Ni Yang asked Zhao Xu.
"Brother Zhao, do you think we can go back and report to Boss Wang now? We can basically figure out how Daling Village disappeared and where the villagers have gone."
He was obviously a little scared and didn't want to continue.
But after all, it is an unimaginable huge cash reward. Now that we have come this far, we must not give up halfway!
That's why I asked Zhao Xu tentatively.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhao Xu's eyes, but he still shook his head and said helplessly.
"If it's just this information, I'm afraid our boss won't be satisfied. If he knows that the folks and elders he is very grateful to have been absorbed by this weird tree, he will definitely want to find out the origin of this weird tree. At least. He knows exactly what happened in Daling Village and all the root causes. In this way, he can find ways to find people and connections to take revenge on the evil person..."
Zhao Xu's words are quite reasonable.
To be honest, although the people in Xuanmen Jianghu possess special skills, they have many magical abilities and methods. It leaves most ordinary people in awe.
But it is good for a truly powerful person to treat you as an equal. Treating you as a guest will definitely be beneficial to him.
Do you want to be as afraid as the common people or the small rich and small nobles? Unless they are some big bosses who are really afraid of death, it is unlikely!
Think about someone like Wang Wenguang...
He has had no parents since he was a child, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village. Then he went to the big cities alone to make money, sell steel and cement, engage in project contracting, and engage in real estate. To the point where he was worth over 100 million in 2001!
Is that someone easy to get along with?
What's more, look at the many thugs and gang members he has, and they can even get their hands on guns. It can be seen that he was definitely a ruthless person when he was young.
How could such a person not take revenge if he knew that fellow villagers were killed?
So in fact, there is no need for Ni Yang to ask Zhao Xu. I know that the little information I have so far will definitely not satisfy Wang Wenguang.
You must continue to search further!
So……
My eyes went to the bottom of this strange tree.
Obviously, we have to find a way to get deeper underground!
See what's underneath this strange tree? Where does it grow from? And why can it absorb all the people in a village and turn them into that kind of weird corpse!
