Chapter 420 The epidemic is rampant (18)
Xia Yueke turned her head and looked at Lu Chunlai with a smile, who had a bad feeling.
After a long while, Lu Chunlai nodded stiffly, "Okay, what do you have in mind?"
Xia Yueke pointed at the slow-moving zombie orcs and said, "They are very sensitive to sound, so you can throw stones here. Cangwu will take you to a place farther away from here. You can just make some noise nearby to attract them all over. How about that?"
Lu Chunlai's eyes widened, and he spoke incoherently, "But, but, what if they find out? And who knows if they will climb onto the roof? Or even knock the house over directly."
Xia Yue smiled and seemed to be negotiating, but in fact there was no room for maneuver at all. After all, Cangwu listened to her.
Lu Chunlai suddenly felt extremely regretful that he had boarded this pirate ship.
He could only give up, his face livid, "Okay, but you have to hurry up, I can't hold on for much longer."
Xia Yueke smiled, "Of course."
The three people's plan went smoothly. Lu Chunlai threw two or three big stones in succession from the highest roof more than 20 meters away, and finally attracted all the zombies and orcs nearby.
Xia Yueke and Cangwu took the opportunity to enter the cave.
Before the two of them stepped in, they smelled an unpleasant odor, as if something was rotten, coupled with the smell of mold. The disgusting smell went straight to people's nerves, making Xia Yueke frown uncontrollably.
Unlike the neatly organized, clean and tidy cave I saw last time, this time, the beds inside were packed full and the floor was smelly, as if those orcs who couldn't move had their last moments of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating here. It was so disgusting that it made people want to vomit.
Some beds even had large bloodstains on them, as if they had been eaten by zombie orcs before death.
At first glance, the cave was empty. There was no living person, and the old witch doctor didn't seem to be inside.
Xia Yueke turned around a few times and found no one in sight. She was slightly disappointed and said, "Cangwu, do you think the old witch doctor is dead? Was he dismembered by those orcs? Did he become one of them?"
Cangwu didn't know how to answer, so he didn't say anything. Xia Yuke was used to him being like this, so the two of them could only plan to go back first.
Unexpectedly, just before the two were about to step out of the cave, a voice came from behind.
As small as a fly.
"You guys, wait for me. I'm here."
His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he hadn't had any water for several days.
Xia Yueke looked back and saw that the old witch doctor was covered in dirt, his skin was covered in blood, and he was holding half of a zombie's arm in his hand as he crawled out from under the bed.
In the very corner of the room, blocked by seven or eight beds, it would be impossible to see him unless you looked carefully, not to mention that he was deliberately hiding himself, curled up into a ball.
Cangwu stood in front of Xia Yueke and asked, "Are you the old witch doctor? How come you are still alive?"
The old witch doctor was so angry at these words that he blew his beard and glared, but it seemed that he had no strength left.
"Can't you see I'm hiding? I've been hiding for a whole day and night. What kind of monsters are those? They're so powerful! My potion can only temporarily halt their movements. If it weren't for my quick wit, they would have been gnawed to pieces without even a bone left."
Xia Yueke felt that this old witch doctor was not stupid. He even made a powerful potion that could slow down the zombies and use it for self-defense. But now was not the time to care about these things. She was more concerned about the antidote.
"Old witch doctor, where is the antidote you've been making for so many days? Didn't you finish it? Take it out now!"
As soon as Xia Yueke's words came out, the old witch doctor's face turned red.
"Who said I've made the antidote? I haven't finished it yet, only half of it. I didn't expect that the orcs who died from the plague would turn into monsters. Now I'm worried about how to turn them back. Alas, it's a pity that so many of my medicines have been destroyed. I don't know if I can make it again."
Xia Yueke's heart skipped a beat, but she still said, "No matter what? Our companions are holding back the zombie orcs outside. We should hurry up and take your achievements and leave here!"
"Zombies?"
The old witch doctor was stunned.
"Oh, don't worry about it. That's what these monsters are called. Hurry up and take your things. My companion won't hold on for much longer. We have to leave here now."
The old witch doctor didn't hesitate and just rummaged around in his temporary office for a long time, pouring many things into a large animal skin bag and carrying it on his back.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Yueke finally spoke out the question in her heart, "Why did you stay with these patients for so long? Why didn't you get infected? Or did you already research the antidote?"
Facing Xia Yueke's question, the old witch doctor shook his head, "Of course not. I can become a witch doctor, of course I have my own way. I have been immersed in many poisons since I was a child, and I have long been immune to all poisons. These things are nothing to me. By the way, how are the tribe leaders?"
Xia Yueke shook her head. "We don't know either. The tribe has been in chaos for a long time."
After the old witch doctor finished cleaning up, Cangwu took the two of them and flew onto the roof.
Not far away, Lu Chunlai had already been chased by this group of zombies and ran away across half of the tribe.
If she were not an ordinary person, she would have collapsed from exhaustion. Seeing Xia Yueke's signal of burning cigarettes, she began to shake off the group of pursuers behind her.
They met at the grove outside the tribe.
Lu Chunlai didn't have much hope at first, but she didn't expect to actually see an old man being brought out by Cangwu. She couldn't help but smile.
"It seems our trip wasn't in vain. Has this old guy already made an antidote? Let's get him out now. It would be best if he could turn all these zombies back into zombies, otherwise we're in big trouble."
Xia Yueke sighed helplessly, "You're overthinking it. How can it be that fast? The old witch doctor said it's almost there!"
Although Lu Chunlai thought this guy was useless, he had no choice but to give up. The four of them quickly went into the dark forest.
The old witch doctor was still a little scared. "Are we really going to the Dark Forest? It's not safe there either. Why don't we go hide in the tribe?"
Xia Yueke: "We want to, too, but look at the tribe's current situation. These orc zombies have only been out for a short time, but they've already caused so much damage. If we had left too late, we would have probably joined them."
The old witch doctor successfully shut up. He had personally experienced every one-sided food feast of zombies. The bloody scene made his old bones tremble.
Fortunately, the zombies had poor vision and could only rely on sound, otherwise he would not have been able to hide under the bed and be terrified for so long.
