Chapter 203 Entering the mountain again
All the villagers in the cave ran out. The three zombies drank enough blood and jumped out of the cave and disappeared into the snowy night. The villagers all went down the mountain. The ghost king's goal was achieved, and there was no need to chase them anymore.
In addition to two pools of blood, there were several seriously injured villagers in the cave, including Hunchback, who risked his life for the villagers. Two pieces of flesh were torn off the Hunchback's chest by zombies. The pain caused him to faint, and when he was hit by the zombies, he fainted.
In an instant, he also subdued the zombie and drank a stem of dried snowdrops he had brought with him to detoxify the zombie.
The fire gradually extinguished with no one to add fuel, darkness fell, and fear and coldness filled the small cave.
"Didn't the villagers who just came down the mountain say that there are many zombies here? Why is it so quiet now? Where are the zombies?" Team leader Zheng outside the cave said to team leader Xu Niang.
"Those villagers who are desperately trying to escape will not lie. Let's look around again to see if there are any injured villagers." Xu Niang said.
The old beggar looked up at the night and said: "It's past midnight and it's almost dawn. Even zombies are hiding. When have you ever seen zombies in broad daylight?"
Seeing the extinguished torches in front of the cave, Xu Niang said: "This cave might be where zombies are hiding. Let's go in and take a look."
Team leader Zheng turned on the flashlight in his hand, and the flashlight shot out a beam of light that illuminated a distance of dozens of meters.
The three people walked into the cave, and the light shone on the injured people. Team leader Zheng found that the hunchback and several people were still alive, and lit the extinguished fire. The fire started to burn, and the cave became warm again.
Xu Niang and Team Leader Zheng rescued several villagers and placed them next to the fire. The heat from the fire made them wake up quickly.
"Are you humans or ghosts?" The hunchback who woke up first looked at the three people and asked.
"What do you think? If the ghost had already eaten you, we are humans and not ghosts. I saved you. Tell me what happened here. I just met the villagers who fled down the mountain. I want to ask about the situation, but I can't stop you.
Stay with them," Team Leader Zheng said.
"Don't blame them. Anyone who doesn't want to save his life has a whole family." The hunchback said weakly.
"Tell me about the situation here. Aren't you all people who go up the mountain to dig snow lotuses?" Xu Niang said.
"Yes, we are from the village at the foot of the mountain. Every year we go to the mountain to dig snowdrops. But I didn't expect that this year's situation is very different from previous years. By the way, who are you? Why are you running up the mountain in the middle of the night?
?" The hunchback said with a suspicious face.
"We came here to dig snow lotus just like you. When we saw tents set up in front of the temple at the foot of the mountain, we came straight up without stopping," said Team Leader Zheng.
Team Leader Zheng concealed the true identities of the three of them. Their real purpose was to pursue Chen Yang under the orders of the Qilin Team Headquarters. After learning that Chen Yang had entered the desert, they took the first step and saw Chen Yang being tied up and sent to the desert.
After arriving at Langshan, he thought that Chen Yang would definitely die.
What is Langshan Mountain? It is the den of desert wolves and the habitat of the Wolf King. Every year, boys are killed by the Wolf King. Chen Yang, as the boy who paid tribute to the Wolf King this year, will definitely not be able to come out alive. For this reason
The three of them were sad for a while because they lost such a powerful person like Chen Yang.
In the desert, Xu Niang and the three of them had no target to chase. They heard the news that the golden snow lotus was coming to the Tianshan Mountains. Thinking that this was a rare opportunity, they came over to watch the excitement.
When I came to a small village in the mountains that is said to be the closest to Yaochi, I saw that the open space in front of the small temple was full of tents. After asking about it, I found out that they were all traders who came to buy snow lotus flowers, and there were several big bosses, one of whom was named Li.
The boss has forced the villagers to go into the mountains.
I also heard that they entered the mountain when there were two ghost cyclones blowing in the temple. Xu Niang and the other three realized that the villagers entering the mountain might be in danger, so they went up the mountain non-stop overnight, but they were still a step too late.
, met villagers fleeing down the mountain halfway.
Tuozi said: "We have always rested in this cave when we went into the mountains in previous years, and we have also encountered a single zombie coming out to harm people, but this time there are too many zombies, fifteen or six, and they would rather lose their souls than attack us.
The torches and charms we prepared were all used up before they entered the cave and injured several villagers. If the zombies hadn't retreated at dawn, how many people would have died?"
Xu Niang said: "You know the strange phenomena in the temple, why do you still go into the mountain when you know it is dangerous?"
"Boss Li is a murderous devil. He won't let us go until we go up the mountain to dig snowdrops for them. In the end, he agreed to increase the price for us, so we risked our lives and went into the mountain. As expected, we
We encountered so many zombies." Hunchback said.
"When daybreak comes, we will go down the mountain and bring some villagers over to carry you home." Xu Niang said.
The sky was getting brighter, and the villagers who had stopped running after midnight slowly gathered together. After counting the number of people, they found that eight people were missing. Even the hunchback who led the team was missing. Everyone looked frightened.
do not know what to do.
"There are too many zombies on the mountain, let's go home first," someone suggested.
This was the common thought in everyone's mind. Although they felt sorry for Tuozi and others, they knew that Tuozi and the other villagers were already in dire straits and might have died long ago.
Boss Li came out of the tent and saw heavy snowfall outside. In front of the tent, a large number of villagers from the mountain yesterday stood. He screamed and shouted: "You are not digging snowdrops on the mountain, why did you come back? Where is the hunchback?"
"A lot of zombies appeared on the mountain blocking the road. They fought with us for half the night. Eight of us died, including the village chief Tuozi. We escaped down the mountain," said the villager.
"No, I've already doubled the price for you. If you don't go into the mountains to dig snowdrops, whatever money we make will come back to me!" Boss Li yelled.
"There are really a lot of zombies. If you go into the mountains, you will die."
"If you want to go, you won't go even if you beat me to death, the zombies are very powerful!" After saying this, several villagers squatted on the ground with their hands folded, letting the snowflakes fall on them, and in a moment they turned into a snowman.
"Just go, everyone pack their things for me and escort them up the mountain!" Boss Li ordered loudly.
The dozen or so bodyguards looked at each other in shock when they heard this, but the boss said that it would be impossible not to go. They immediately packed up their things and drove the villagers who came down the mountain into the mountain again.
When other small business owners who bought snow lotus saw that Boss Li was really going up the mountain in person, they were afraid that he would swallow up the snow lotus by himself, so they packed up their things and went up the mountain together.
The team entering the mountain this time was much more spectacular than yesterday. Not only were there more people, but more importantly, the equipment was much better than that of the villagers.
The mighty team braved the heavy snow and began to enter the mountain. There are many people and strength. At the end of the team, an old man led a boy and a girl, and they were also walking towards the mountain among the people entering the mountain. (
