Chapter 415 The epidemic is rampant (13)
Xia Yuke and Lu Chunlai waited quietly outside. It was noon and they hadn't eaten yet, so they just grabbed some food to fill their stomachs and looked anxiously at the exit of the barren land.
On this side, after Cangwu entered the forest, he smelled an indescribable odor, very sour and smelly, and also the smell of rotten meat.
Cangwu followed the smells, leaped quickly on the branches, and arrived at the destination in the blink of an eye.
There was a huge pit there before, with countless orcs in it. The orcs had stiff and twisted limbs, bent joints, and walked with a limp, accompanied by the sound of bones rubbing against each other.
Their bodies were hunched, their spines weak. Their skin was covered in spots and sores of decay, their original color replaced by a sickly gray-green or purple-black, and they emitted a disgusting stench.
The hair becomes dry and sparse, falling off in strands like burnt grass, revealing the scalp or skin underneath that is full of pus, blood, and maggots.
His mouth stretched from ear to ear, his fangs yellow, blood clotted between his teeth, his saliva corroding the ground. His worn animal skins were stained with blood, and his battle wounds were the source of the stench.
"Ho ho ho"
They kept making such noises, which gave Cangwu a headache.
He stood on the treetop, his expression blank. What was this? Was it the zombie Xia Yueke had mentioned?
Zombie orcs kept climbing out of the big pit, but were thrown back down because the pit was too smooth. However, they did not give up and kept climbing up unremittingly.
Because there were too many of them, some of them had their heads crushed by other zombies after falling down. A shiny thing was stepped out from their heads, and the zombie orcs seemed to have lost their life force and stopped moving.
Cangwu watched and murmured, "It seems this is their weakness. If these are the only things, can they scare those players like this?"
Cangwu still didn't understand, so he kept observing them until four or five zombies had crawled out of the pit behind him. They went directly in a certain direction, as if their goal was very clear.
Cangwu looked carefully and found that it was not the direction where Xia Yueke and the others were, so he followed them.
The four or five zombies seemed to be unaware of Cangwu's arrival and just kept walking in one direction. Their movements were slow and stiff, but their goal was clear.
Finally, they stopped and rushed in one direction, their speed many times faster than before.
Cangwu's pupils shrank as he watched from the top of the tree. He saw four or five orcs dragging another orc out of the tree hole, and then started biting him. The sound of gnawing continued to be heard from below.
The orc being eaten cried out in pain at first, and then in a few minutes only bones were left.
The zombie beasts stopped only after all the flesh on his body was eaten, but the skeleton on the ground stood up shakily and joined them.
Cangwu felt that his worldview was wrong. How could there be such a horrible thing? He wondered how many times stronger this thing was than the plague in the tribe. Could this be a side effect of the plague?
The four or five zombie orcs continued to move forward, as if looking for other prey. Cangwu followed them again. This time they did not find orcs, but found the indigenous inhabitants of the barren land, the Warcraft.
A low-level magical beast was surrounded by them. The low-level magical beast was confused at first, but then when it saw these orcs, it grinned and thought that this was food delivered to its doorstep.
It pounced on the orc with the most flesh, tore off a piece of meat, chewed it, and then spat it out with a "wow" sound.
A pair of blood-red eyes flashed with human disgust and nausea.
The zombie orc on the ground, who was pressed down by him and had a large piece of meat bitten off on his chest, did not feel any pain at all. Instead, he bit the monster with his mouth and tore off a piece of meat.
Disbelief flashed in the monster's eyes, and then it howled, obviously in great pain, and then started to fight with the orc zombie again.
The orcs behind did not stand idly by, but started fighting with the monsters.
At first, the monster showed some signs of counterattack, but in the end, the monster had more and more wounds on its body, and blood was flowing all over the ground. However, the orcs became more and more excited, and they could not even feel the pain. They just bit the flesh of the monster and swallowed it into their stomachs.
The monster almost fainted from the pain, and its flesh was almost torn off, but it was still holding on to its breath. In the end, it did not fall down, but its eyes slowly turned white, and its skin quickly became diseased until it turned into a zombie monster and joined them, so that it stopped being bitten.
Their team grew in number, heading deeper into the Barrens, seemingly searching for other magical beasts.
Cangwu probably understood the characteristics of these orcs. They feed on raw meat and will become their kind after being bitten. They are usually slow, but when they meet their target, they are extremely fast and have great strength.
Cangwu no longer followed them, and
It was time to return to the entrance of the Barrens. Before leaving, I took a look at the big pit and saw that the orcs in the pit were still climbing out.
Cangwu paused for a moment, turned back, threw a fire, and watched the orcs being burned at the bottom of the pit before leaving. He didn't know if this method would work, but he could only give it a try.
If we allow them to climb up, some of the orcs will be killed and will definitely come to the tribe, and then we will be in trouble.
When he came in front of Xia Yueke and Lu Chunlai, Cangwu's expression had returned to normal.
Xia Yueke rushed over and grabbed his hand, "Cangwu Cangwu, what's going on in there? What exactly is going on? Is what those people said before true?"
Cangwu nodded, "It's true. Those orcs who died of the plague before turned green in skin, with the whites of their eyes taking up their entire eye sockets. They looked very ugly. They also liked raw meat, and once bitten, they were assimilated."
Lu Chunlai's expression changed immediately. "It's over, it's over! Those orcs must have turned into zombies. They must have. It turns out the biggest crisis isn't the epidemic, but what comes after the epidemic. No wonder I was wondering how it could be so easy to pass this time? Just hiding in a wooden house for 30 days, it's so easy! I didn't believe it. So that's how it is."
Xia Yueke's face turned pale. How could she not have seen a zombie movie? The zombies in the TV series were very powerful, the kind that ate people until only bones were left.
What Xia Yueke feared most was actually the zombies rushing over, and the person surrounded in the middle would be so miserable, bitten until only bones were left, and in the end he would have to join them. She had thought before that if she encountered such a situation, she would rather scratch herself, then smear some zombies' blood, and slowly get infected than be torn into pieces like that.
Of course, this is her most pessimistic thought. If she really encounters it, she still wants to fight and see if she can survive.
