Chapter 183: Insects
The atmosphere of sadness is contagious. Those who were not caught were happy but also sad for their companions.
Everyone was waiting quietly, waiting for something to change or for nothing to happen.
There was one boy who seemed to be quite courageous. He didn't think that he would turn into a man-eating monster if he was caught, so he mustered up the courage to ask Jiang Xinyu why she wanted to isolate them.
His question was echoed by several people.
Who wants to die if they can live? When they were injured, instead of bandaging them, they gathered here and pointed knives at them. No one would be able to accept this.
Xiao Douzi was about to scold but was stopped by Jiang Xinyu.
"You see, I know how to deal with them because I know this stuff."
Jiang Xinyu sighed, "I once saw a record in an ancient book that this kind of creature without consciousness and only relying on instinct to eat other people is called a zombie.
Although they can move, they are probably dead. They have no vision or sense of pain, but their hearing and sense of smell are particularly acute.
They rely on the smell and sounds of strangers to find their prey. If they encounter one, they can hold their breath and make noises elsewhere to lure them away.
They are very strong and not afraid of pain, and can still move even if their hands and feet are cut off.
Remember, the only way to kill them is to chop off their heads or smash their brains.
The poison that caused them to become like this is in their teeth and nails.
Don't despair, maybe things will turn around.
Generally, if you are scratched by this kind of zombie, you will mutate within half an hour. If your body is healthy and not infected, you will be fine."
Jiang Xinyu's last words were a lie, but looking at those young and tender faces she still wanted to give them some hope.
The zombies this time are very different from the zombies of the apocalypse. They are slower and less powerful, and most importantly, they are easier to chop.
Maybe the ancient one is a weakened version.
Maybe the zombies here are not contagious.
The end of the world is so difficult and everyone is living actively. She really can't bear to see these people so desperate.
The white lie did work, and those people began to feel hopeful when they heard that there was a possibility that they would not mutate.
Some worship Buddha, some worship the Jade Emperor, and some even worship the fox fairy and the land god enshrined in their own homes.
Jiang Xinyu didn't think they were funny. People always need spiritual support when they are in despair.
The so-called praying to gods and Buddhas is to pray for the fulfillment of desires and to seek peace of mind, but in reality it is all gambling on luck.
From the distant village came the sound of roosters crowing, and the sky gradually turned pale.
The boy who questioned Jiang Xinyu at the beginning asked in a hoarse voice whether it was enough for an hour, and whether they would not have to die if they did not turn into monsters.
Jiang Xinyu seemed even more excited than them, her eyes even turned red and tears fell.
When the injured were praying, she was also praying. She really didn't want to see the end of the world here.
"Press your wound to see if it hurts and see what color your blood is."
After Jiang Xinyu finished speaking, she took a torch and moved closer. Xiao Yuan tried to stop him but was gently pushed away by Jiang Xinyu.
"No one knows what mutation looks like better than me.
rest assured!"
Xiao Yuan was worried, but seeing his wife's determined expression he had no choice but to accompany her.
At this time, the young man had squeezed some blood out of the wound on his arm.
Jiang Xinyu carefully checked and found that the blood was not black, and asked if it would hurt, which made her more certain.
The possibility of being zombies after such a long period of time without any transformation has been infinitely reduced, but for the sake of safety these people should try not to mix with normal people.
At this time, Jiang Xinyu could no longer talk about the distinction between men and women. She checked everyone's wounds and confirmed that there was no fatal black before announcing that these people could recover normally.
Soon the doctor began to boil medicine to clean and bandage the wound. Jiang Xinyu also instructed that any fever or abnormal behavior must be reported immediately.
By the time they finished their work, it was already bright outside. Jiang Xinyu did not bother to rest and went with Xiao Yuan to check the corpses.
It was too dark yesterday to see anything and the situation was too chaotic. She should have thought of catching a live one for research.
In the light of the torches, she saw with her own eyes that those people's eyes were grayish white, and except for being slightly weaker, they were really no different from the dead.
But the person they caught and bit did not change at all, and Jiang Xinyu was not sure now.
Knowing that the zombies were poisonous, the soldiers didn't dare touch any of them. The heads and bodies were separated, and the blood flowing out was dark brown dead blood.
The biggest advantage Jiang Xinyu had after getting the space back was that her supplies were still there, including medical gloves and scalpels.
Seeing his wife wearing a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings and using a strange knife to cut the corpse, Governor Xiao couldn't help but shudder.
For some reason, in such a serious environment, the words "comprehensive guide to murdering husbands" suddenly popped up in his mind.
It seems his wife is serious about this. It's obvious that this method of dismembering a body is not the first time she has done it.
Governor Xiao was still surprised by what he had seen. Although it was not the first time for Jiang Xinyu, she was not an experienced person either.
It's just that the scalpels in ancient times were not that easy to use, which made her movements appear too smooth.
Judging from the degree of corruption of their internal organs, these people must have died not long ago, but it was undoubtedly more than a day ago.
I just don't know how these people can still move without Corpse Spot.
In order to check whether these so-called zombies contained crystal cores, Jiang Xinyu cut open seven or eight heads.
Seeing his wife stirring in her brain, Xiaodouzi couldn't help but vomit. Several Dongchang men also looked pale and tried hard to suppress their disgust.
Their governor has too strong a taste. This lady is even more perverted than that old man Yan Hua, the poisonous hand.
But there is no doubt that they all reached a consensus that this lady must not be offended.
Xiao Yuan had never expected his wife to be so tough, and he suppressed his disgust and made an important decision.
From now on, tofu will no longer be on the menu of the Governor's Mansion.
Jiang Xinyu poured out the brain and examined it carefully, but did not find any crystal cores. Instead, she discovered several black beetles the size of a fingernail.
However, the beetle was already dead by then, but this strange shape had never been seen before.
Xiao Yuan exclaimed as he looked at these beetles.
“It is impossible for bugs to enter a person’s brain. If the brain is thrown on the ground after death, it is unlikely that all the bugs that crawl into it are the same species.
Especially since these bugs are of average size...
Could it be a cricket?
These people may not be the zombies you know, but may be controlled by worms.
Although the blood was a corrupt dark brown color, it could be due to poisoning and did not necessarily mean the person had been dead for a long time.
These people don’t have cadavers or body lesions.”
Jiang Xinyu nodded and directed the men to continue to come here and pick her heads.
A total of sixty-eight heads were brought over, and Jiang Xinyu simply pried them open one by one.
Everyone felt a little itchy on their heads as they watched the lady open the scalp with a twist of her wrist like opening a watermelon and then pry open the skull with a snap.
Someone looked at Governor Xiao with sympathy.
Their governor has always been known for his sinister, vicious and cruel methods. At first, they even sympathized with the young lady of the Jiang family and thought that she would be scared to tears by the governor.
Now it seems that it is hard to say who will be scared to tears.
It's true that two different people can't sleep in the same quilt. With a wife like this, I don't know whether their governor can be the head of the house.
With such a lady, would their governor dare to take a concubine?
Will you die if you try?
