There is an old saying that goes, "If you scare someone, they may kill you."
Lin Mo walked over quietly and patted the other person. He just asked a question, but he didn't expect the man to react so strongly. Not only was he scared, he screamed and even collapsed to the ground.
The other few corpse hangers also noticed Lin Mo and surrounded him.
Everyone held a sharp dagger in his hand.
Lin Mo was not panicked. Firstly, these were ordinary people and could not threaten him. Secondly, he had been surrounded before and was used to it.
He asked another question, and Lin Mo spread his hands to show that he had no hostility.
One of the people around looked Lin Mo up and down and asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Mo said that he came in by accident, got lost, and was looking for the way home.
This was half true and half false, but I didn't expect the other party to actually believe it.
Several people collected their knives.
"Go, go, get out of here." After these people found that Lin Mo had no hostility, they immediately started to drive him away.
Of course Lin Mo was not willing to leave.
He wanted to find out what the other person was doing. Besides, he had finally met a living person, so of course he had to ask around.
"Did you kill these people?" Lin Mo asked deliberately.
Several people immediately stared at Lin Mo with annoyance. Perhaps they thought that the other party knew nothing, so they shook their heads to deny: "We didn't kill him."
Lin Mo had already figured this out. These people were not murderers. They just wanted to collect the corpses and hang them up.
If it meant collecting the bodies and burying them, Lin Mo understood.
After all, it's acceptable for some kind-hearted people to bury the body anywhere.
But hanging it up is a little incomprehensible and too weird.
Apart from satisfying some perverts, Lin Mo couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"I came from that side and encountered some hanged corpses along the way. You did it, right?" Lin Mo asked.
These people nodded, their eyes wary.
"Why are you hanging the body?" Lin Mo asked.
A person on the opposite side said coldly: "This is none of your business, leave here quickly."
Quite arrogant.
Lin Mo said that he felt sorry for the bodies hung up, so he let them down.
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of these people changed at the same time.
There was a mixture of shock, anger and fear.
"Asshole, you ignorant thing, do you know what you have done?" One of them immediately started cursing. It could be seen that the other party was so angry that he jumped up and down, as if his family's ancestral grave had been dug up.
"Calm down, getting angry now won't help." Another person said, then stared at Lin Mo: "Stranger, you did something very stupid."
Lin Mo asked them to explain clearly why they were stupid.
"How long have you been here?" The man did not answer immediately, but asked this question first.
"I just got here, and it's been just over an hour." Lin Mo was very frank. He had indeed come in sporadically before, but he just took a look and left quickly.
The man said to his angry companion, "This person doesn't know the situation. It doesn't matter. We still have time to make up for it."
After saying that, the man said to Lin Mo: "You don't understand the weirdness of this place. In this place, there can't be any dead people. If someone dies here, they must be burned or hung within seven days, otherwise the dead will be resurrected and come back to life."
Lin Mo didn't think it was anything special after hearing it.
This is a painting world in a nightmare world. In such a place, no matter what happens, it is not surprising.
The resurrection of the dead may sound mysterious at first, but to Lin Mo now, it is nothing new.
At that moment, Lin Mo also joked: "Isn't it better to be alive? Do you have a grudge against them?"
"You know nothing!" The man cursed angrily, "When the dead stand up again, they are no longer the same. These monsters are very scary. One of them can kill all of us."
After saying that, the man called two people from the side, each holding a large bundle of ropes, and then said to Lin Mo: "Hurry up and take us over. It's still in time. If you delay any longer, it will be too late."
Seeing how seriously they spoke, Lin Mo knew that they were not wrong.
So, I really meant well but ended up doing something bad.
He didn't refuse, but he didn't take it seriously either.
What these people said sounded mysterious, but Lin Mo didn't think that the resurrected corpse would have much combat power.
Take these three people to the place where the overpass was before.
"They're all there!" Lin Mo pointed ahead, and sure enough, there was a row of corpses.
The three men breathed a sigh of relief and went over to get to work.
Put the rope around the neck, tie it up, and hang the body down. It would be much easier to hang the body from a high place, but Lin Mo soon discovered a problem.
There should have been seven bodies, but now he counted them and there were only six.
It seems that a body is missing! When I told the three people hanging the corpse about the situation, their faces changed.
"It's bad, he's pretending to be dead."
The three hangmen checked immediately.
Sure enough, they found several footprints on the ground.
Wherever a rotting corpse passes, it will leave some marks with the unique stench of a corpse.
Lin Mo took a look and found that it was true.
The footprints are not obvious, but you can still find them if you look closely. Following the footprints, you will find that they disappear from the guardrail in front.
The other side of the guardrail was empty, and if you flipped over, you would fall directly to the ground more than ten meters away.
Lin Mo went over with the three corpse hangers, grabbed the railing and looked out, and saw a face directly.
The rotten face now revealed a creepy expression.
The missing corpse was now grabbing the bulge below, hanging in the air and looking up at the people above.
“Really alive!”
Lin Mo was shocked, and the other three hanged corpses were so scared that they ran away.
Obviously, in their minds, this resurrected corpse is not to be provoked, and they don't even have the intention to take action.
Almost at the same time, the corpse outside the guardrail suddenly flipped over and chased after him at an incredible speed.
Even Lin Mo didn't react.
Ah! A scream.
A hangman fell down.
His chest was forcibly torn open and his heart was taken out. He twitched twice and then became completely motionless.
The resurrected corpse was now grabbing the hot heart and eating it happily.
Lin Mo saw it clearly just now. The corpse chased after the man at a speed faster than a cheetah and dug out the heart of the hanged man with his bare hands.
It's a piece of cake.
But Lin Mo asked himself if he could do the same thing.
The strength, explosiveness and speed are all much worse.
Also, although his fingers could be turned into steel, it was almost impossible for him to dig out a person's heart all at once.
This is a technical job.
"sharp!"
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.
Lin Mo only now felt the same fear that the hangman had towards the resurrected corpses.
Indeed, if ordinary people encounter this kind of monster, even if there are more than a dozen people and they all have weapons, they will be killed by this monster within a minute.
This kind of corpse is far superior to ordinary people in all aspects of quality.
Escape, can't escape.
Even if we fight, we can’t win.
And if they do, they either don't take action at all, or if they do, they kill with one strike.
But Lin Mo was a little surprised that the corpse did not attack him who was closest to him.
The other two hangmen probably knew they couldn't escape, so they took out their weapons with despair on their faces. It was obvious that they would die if they resisted, and they would also die if they didn't resist.
But we should still resist, this is human survival instinct.
The corpse swallowed the bloody heart in a few mouthfuls, then pounced again.
This time Lin Mo can't indulge it anymore.
Just now the opponent was too fast and Lin Mo didn't react, but this time, he was prepared.
Seeing the opponent attacking again, Lin Mo didn't say anything and threw a brick at him.
His strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person. With tremendous force, the brick flew straight over and hit the leg of the resurrected zombie.
The brick was hard and heavy, and with Lin Mo's strength, the opponent's shin bone was broken in an instant.
With a bang, the corpse fell to the ground.
But the other party seemed unaware of the pain and continued to move towards its prey at a very fast speed.
He pushed his hands against the ground and bounced up, rushing towards another hangman.
But Lin Mo also expected that a brick alone could not stop the opponent, so he rushed over, waited for the right moment, and chopped down with a knife.
Swish.
The knife flashed.
The corpse monster's head and body were separated.
"It's time to die this time." Lin Mo walked over and kicked the headless corpse on the ground. The corpse suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Mo's ankle.
But then he cut off the opponent's arm with his sword.
Then another knife pierced the opponent's heart.
Lin Mo pulled away the broken arm that was grabbing his ankle and looked at his ankle. There was a scratch mark on it. If he had moved a little slower, his leg bone would have been crushed.
It's not an exaggeration at all.
The opponent's power is so great.
“It’s really amazing.”
Lin Mo also had to admit this. No wonder these corpse hangers had to hang the corpses up. They thought that if they were hung up, the corpses would not turn into corpses.
And after the corpse turns into a corpse, it becomes really ferocious.
If Lin Mo is not careful, he might fall into the gutter.
The remaining two hangmen did not thank Lin Mo, but looked behind Lin Mo with horror.
Lin Mo remembered that there were still six corpses over there.
Looking back, it is true.
The six old men also stood up, staring at them grimly.
"Xiaoyu!" Lin Mo was not arrogant. These zombies had extremely strong destructive power. With a pinch of his fingers, he could probably even break off a piece of steel bars and cement.
So once they catch you, it's easy to tear off your flesh and bones.
Must be handled with caution.
Not only Xiaoyu, Lin Mo touched the ghost ring on his little finger and called Xiaohu out as well.
During this period of time, the little tiger has grown a lot. Its current size exceeds that of a normal adult tiger. Including its tail, it is about five meters long, which can be called a behemoth.
The tiger head alone is bigger than a large washbasin.
If we don't use such a powerful fighter now, when else would we use him?
Especially in this kind of simple close combat, basically nothing can beat Xiaohu.
Three against six, although we are at a disadvantage in numbers, our quality is high, so we can fight.
The problem is that we have to fight.
These corpses that were resurrected in the Lost City seemed to have no brains. When they encountered someone who was not of their kind, they would rush up and fight until the person died.
Lin Mo has other means.
So it is true that these resurrected corpses are powerful, but they are not qualified to bully him.
A fierce fight!
All six resurrected corpses were killed, and Lin Mo finished off each of them, stabbing them in the heart and head to make sure the corpses were dead.
The fight just now was absolutely lightning-fast. Although Xiaoyu won, one of her chains was torn off and a large piece of her skirt was torn off; Xiaohu had two bloody scratches on his body, which were quite deep and exposed the bone in one place; Lin Mo himself was fine, without any blood, but the chances of winning this battle were a little slim.
These corpse monsters are indeed very ferocious.
The two people hanging the corpse nearby were stunned.
It took me a while to react.
They immediately came up and tied ropes on the corpses. Lin Mo asked, how could these corpses be alive when their heads and hearts were punctured?
The hangman nodded: "Leave them alone, they will be able to stand up and kill people again after seven days."
It's really weird.
Lin Mo also helped, and suddenly remembered that he had fire, so he asked if it was okay to burn it.
The man who hanged the corpse said that it was okay to burn it, but it had to be burned cleanly, otherwise it would not do.
Lin Mo thought about it and decided to hang it up.
There is no firewood or gasoline here, so it cannot be burned.
Although it was unclear why hanging them would not turn them into corpses, they followed the local customs. They all hung up the corpse, including the hangman who had just sacrificed himself. As for the corpse monster whose head had been chopped off, the head and body had to be hung up separately.
As for the body with the head cut off, Lin Mo thought it could grow back by itself? The hangman said, "Young man, don't be so unconvinced. They have tried it before. They cut off the head and limbs and buried them in different places. As a result, when the time came, the head and the body emerged from the soil and grew back together."
Even without a head, a headless corpse can still kill people.
Lin Mo thought about it and found that it was very similar to the headless corpse in Lvyuan Community.
The zombies here are almost as strong and fast as headless corpses, but the headless corpses have brains and know how to give in, while the zombies here have no brains at all.
Lin Mo just displayed his prowess, and the remaining two corpse hangers became much more polite, and asked Lin Mo where the other corpse was.
Lin Mo calculated the time and said, "It's better not to go there. That place is a bit far from here. It takes almost an hour to walk there. And according to the time, the corpses over there must have turned into zombies."
It’s not that Lin Mo thinks he can’t defeat those corpse monsters, but mainly because those corpse monsters probably won’t wait there obediently.
They must have all run away.
The two hangmen thought about it and sighed.
This is a huge threat to them.
But now I don’t dare to say anything about Lin Mo.
After all, this person seems to be much more terrifying than those zombies.
On the way back, Lin Mo, with his excellent social skills, chatted enthusiastically with the two hanged corpses, and they looked like old friends.
"Hanging Corpses" is the nickname Lin Mo gave them. In fact, they all have names, and they are indeed from a small country on the Banana Islands.
"The county we live in is on a small island. Before the evil invasion, we were cut off from the outside world due to chaos. Fortunately, we can be self-sufficient, but later, the terrible nightmare still came..."
A corpse hanger told Lin Mo about their experiences.
Lin Mo suddenly realized.
No wonder they look so rough and have tanned skin, it turns out they live on an island.
If you think about it carefully, this is the hell difficulty at the beginning.
The nightmare invaded, and they had no place to hide, after all, the island was limited in size. It is said that many people died at the beginning, but fortunately some elders on the island organized everyone, working normally during the day, fishing and farming, and gathering together at night to take refuge in a local "temple".
There are still hundreds of people on the island, trying to survive together.
As for their small country, it may no longer exist.
Lin Mo also told them about his own experience.
"Are you Chinese?" A corpse hanger looked at Lin Mo and asked, "How did you get here?"
"It's a long story."
Lin Mo said that he had booked a three-month luxury cruise trip, but when he got off the ship to do some business, the ship was hijacked. He ended up on the other side of the ocean alone, with no one to turn to for help. It was so tragic.
When it came to the touching part, the two hangmen also showed sympathy.
"Then I found this painting. It seems that this place can lead to other places, so my friend and I came in to try our luck." Lin Mo looked at the other party: "Now it seems that my speculation should be correct."
The two hangmen nodded.
"Yes, we only discovered later that this place is connected to many places, but... those places often hide greater dangers. On the contrary, it will be safer here if we follow the rules here."
The two hangmen also started talking.
Lin Mo then realized that there was a painting in the temple on their small island. The content of the painting was a local totem, and the content of the painting was "Faith in the Lost City".
It should be a derivative creation based on the theme of the lost city.
Because they are all based on the theme of the lost city of "Lost City", they can be connected to this place.
Then this place is quite amazing.
At that time, the people on the island discovered that the painting could be entered, like a window, which was quite nervous. However, later the temple where they were hiding was invaded by nightmares, and they had no choice but to hide in this painting.
As a result, those nightmares didn't dare to come near.
Thus, this place became their new refuge.
But in the nightmare world, no place is truly safe.
There are dangers here too.
For example, corpses that can be 'resurrected'.
Another example is the 'ghost fetus' curse that Lin Mo encountered.
Lin Mo specifically asked the two corpse hangers about this, and they said in surprise that the area was a restricted area and could not be entered, and they had marked it there.
An 'X' mark.
Wherever there is this mark, it is dangerous.
But relatively speaking, it is very safe here. As long as they stay in safe areas, they won't get into trouble. In addition, if they find a corpse, they should hang it up immediately. This has become their consensus.
As they were talking, they had already returned to the previous place. Several corpses had been hung on lampposts. This time Lin Mo didn't find it strange.
Because facts have proven that as long as the corpse is hung up and off the ground, it can be prevented from becoming a corpse.
Lin Mo didn't know what the principle was, but it worked.
These hangmen are true pragmatists.
Lin Mo said he wanted to see their "passageway". After discussing it with several corpse hangers, they agreed. It can be seen that the people living on these islands are still very simple and honest.
Nice personality and kind heart.
After walking for a while, we arrived.
There was a large building in front, which looked like a museum. Lin Mo followed a few hangmen and walked in.
As soon as I walked in, I heard the door closing.
Click, click.
It sounded like a lock being locked.
Afterwards, the few people who had brought him in took out their knives and quickly retreated.
Only Lin Mo was left standing there.
In the distance, there were many hangmen who had been lying in ambush. At this moment, there were at least twenty of them coming out from behind the stone pillars. Each of them was holding a bow with an arrow on the string, aiming at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "If I understand correctly, this is a trap, right?"
