Chapter 182 High-quality imitation zombie
The rain did come, but it was not a heavy storm that was about to come. Instead, it started to drizzle after nightfall.
Jiang Xinyu suddenly woke up, Xiao Yuan patted her on the back and comforted her,
"Aren't you still worried that they'll burn the straw?
It is raining now so even if there is tung oil it won't burn. This place is far away from the river and won't burst the dam.
Go to sleep, I'll take care of everything."
Feeling Xiao Yuan's warm hand, Jiang Xinyu shrank into his arms, but the uneasiness in her heart still could not be dispelled.
But her husband's embrace was so warm, and she was really tired after a whole day's journey, so she fell asleep again in a daze.
The people in the other tents also gradually fell asleep.
Even the night watchmen were hypnotized by the sound of rain and felt drowsy while guarding the makeshift lookout.
In the woods far away, a group of men in black were holding ropes, with more than a dozen people tied to each rope.
Those people were dressed in rags and had gray eyes. They all sat on the ground with their heads bowed, like wooden sculptures or clay figures.
The men in black were all wearing straw raincoats, but they were sitting in the rain as if they were unaware of anything. Some of them even had insects like centipedes crawling on their bodies.
Time passed minute by minute, until it was three quarters past three in the morning, which is equivalent to 3:30 in the morning today, when the leader suddenly picked up a bell and rang it gently.
Although no sound was made, those strange people suddenly stood up and followed the person who rang the bell towards the camp.
Early morning is the time when protection is the weakest and people are the most sleepy. Add to that the drizzling rain and the humidity, and even those who are on night watch fall into a deep sleep.
The sound of the rain covered the footsteps, and no one noticed until the group of people arrived near the tent.
The leading men in black each gave a bell, and divided the monsters into several groups with different frequencies, and entered the camp from different directions.
Suddenly, at the same time, the frequency of the ringing changed completely, and the person who was clumsy and stiff just now suddenly raised his head as if he had regained consciousness.
Those people's eyes were still gray and their expressions were still numb, only their noses were slightly loose, as if they were looking for something.
Soon, a shrill scream broke the silence.
The Dongchang bandits, several soldier leaders, and Xiao Yuan, who had been prepared, quickly picked up their weapons and rushed out, only to find that the camp had become a purgatory on earth.
Screams were heard from all directions, but in the pitch-black night there was no light and it was impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
"Light the torches, light the torches quickly."
"Don't make a fuss and don't hurt your own people."
At the critical moment, it was the soldiers from the East Factory who came in handy. Soon the extinguished torches and lanterns were lit, and many soldiers realized that they had been killing their companions.
At this time they also saw clearly their enemy, or rather, he could not be called a human being at all.
Jiang Xinyu's blood ran cold the moment he saw those things. Zombies, he actually saw zombies in ancient times.
Just as she was in a daze, several hidden arrows whizzed towards her, but the sword was not aimed at people, and soon the torch that had just been lit was shot to the ground and extinguished.
Jiang Xinyu suddenly woke up, and she knew why those people wanted to put out the fire.
It was cloudy and rainy tonight, with no moon or stars, and torches were the only source of light.
Zombies don't need light, they can find living people by their sense of smell.
At this time, Jiang Xinyu no longer cared about why there were zombies here. She only knew that if she didn't do anything about it, these people would die.
Besides their sense of smell, zombies are most sensitive to sound. Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu quickly ran out of the camp.
While running, he took out a copper gong from the space and struck it.
The zombies biting people in the camp today are completely different species from the zombies of the apocalypse.
But Jiang Xinyu was unlucky. These things are controlled by sound and have the ability to chase sounds.
The bell in the black-clad man's hand is not silent, but the wavelength it emits is incapable of being detected by human ears.
But no matter how unique it is, it cannot withstand the sound of a copper bell. Once it is struck, all other sounds will be covered.
The zombies swarmed towards the sound of the bell, and Jiang Xinyu took the opportunity to shout that these things were going to be beheaded.
Xiao Yuan knew that it was his wife who led that thing out, and he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. He ordered people to light torches while chasing after her.
It's just beheading, right? Now those things are just rushing forward stupidly without caring about what's behind them.
Xiao Yuan quickly killed more than a dozen people with one slash on the head. The secret guards following him all had night vision ability and the Dongchang guards were also good at martial arts.
Following the direction of the footsteps, they caught up, and the situation suddenly reversed.
Although the ordinary soldiers in the camp wailed and suffered heavy losses, these dozens of zombies were also completely wiped out.
The man in black hiding in the dark didn't expect that the zombies that were invincible could be destroyed so easily. He cursed inwardly and retreated as quickly as possible.
This thing is a consumable. Lingdang and the insect can have as much as they want.
Anyway, since they are all made from local materials, it won't be a pity if they are gone. We can still use them to create some public discussion.
Some people chased after the men in black clothes who were running away, but they were so fast that they disappeared in a few flashes.
Torches were quickly lit in the camp to check on the wounded, but Jiang Xinyu quickly came back and shouted for all the wounded to stand together separately.
If bitten by such a person, the infection will spread and you will become a monster that is neither human nor ghost and only bites people, so...
This statement quickly caused panic, but it had to be said, otherwise no one would survive.
It was still okay for those who were bitten directly on the neck and were still barely breathing, but those who were scratched on the arms or bitten on the arms and thighs all had red eyes.
They don't want to die and they don't want to become that kind of monster.
Xiao Yuan gave an order for all the injured to come forward. Seeing that there were too few people coming forward, he simply divided them into groups of ten and checked them one by one.
Now we cannot be sure whether what the lady said is true or false, but the most important thing is to separate the two groups of people first.
The entire camp was filled with an atmosphere of sorrow and despair, especially for the more than 70 people who were found injured. They seemed to have seen the Black and White Impermanence coming to pick them up.
Waiting for death is the most painful thing. A knife cuts you off without any awareness.
But if I tell you that I'm going to kill you in a moment, most people will collapse.
Jiang Xinyu also couldn't bear to kill the conscious person now, but this was not the time to be soft-hearted.
However, Xiao Yuan and the others had never heard of zombies and did not believe that there was a disease that could turn someone into a zombie immediately after being bitten.
So even though Xiao Yuan trusted his wife, he did not rashly order the execution of the bitten person.
Everything has a procedure. These are not bandits but registered soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.
There is indeed a difference between being hacked to death after becoming a zombie and being hacked to death while still conscious.
Jiang Xinyu also knew that Xiao Yuan's difficulties were not urgent, so she only instructed those who had the best kung fu and were not injured to form a circle and stand guard with knives.
Once someone mutates, they must be eliminated immediately, otherwise if he injures others again, the consequences will be disastrous.
The wounded soldiers sat in a circle with numb and despairing expressions, some of them had red eyes from crying.
They saved a lot of money from this disaster relief trip, and they also planned to use the money to support their parents in their old age, buy jewelry for their wives, and buy snacks for their children when they return home.
But now I am going to die here.
The most painful thing is to turn into a monster and be killed by your companions.
If they died while rescuing disaster victims, they would be considered heroes and the glory of their clan. Not only would they receive pensions from the imperial court, but their wives and children would also be taken care of by the clan.
But if they turned into monsters and were killed, their families would probably be ostracized by the village, and they would not be willing to die.
