The thorn followed the mark made by the scar, or...
Yu Xing felt something the moment he saw the nameplate clearly. The blood on his head was still showing a subtle sense of existence. With the overwhelming "squeak" sound of the tent, Yu Xing's pupils shrank and he stopped thinking.
The desire to shrink back into the tent immediately jumped out of the tent.
He rolled over to relieve the impact, and heard the sound of material being penetrated. He looked up and saw a skinless monster lying on top of his tent!
The monster's bloody arm penetrated his tent roof like a sharp blade. If he had chosen to retreat just now, he would have been stabbed.
The monster seemed to be stunned for a moment after missing the blow, and then slid down from the tent very quickly, standing straight on the ground, facing him.
Speaking of facing each other, it was difficult for Yu Xing to look at the face that showed nothing.
Yu Xing took a few steps back, raised his dagger in a defensive posture, and scanned the bloody monster with his eyes, trying to find and practice stabbing the monster's head.
Sure enough, after a while, he found clues.
This monster is obviously humanoid. Except that it has no skin, its body shape is no different from that of a human being. It is about the same height as a thorn. Among the broken but tenacious pieces of cloth on its body, Yu Xing found traces of the style of their team's jackets.
.
Basically, Yu Xing was sure that this was the thorn head that disappeared while picking up branches in the mountains during the day.
I don’t know what happened to the thorn head. If I just look at this appearance, Yu Xing can barely think that it is the result of being wrapped in countless vines.
But if Thornhead died before everyone set off, how did he come into contact with the vines?
Is there any other more unexpected place where vines gather?
These thoughts passed by in a flash. In reality, Yu Xing squinted his eyes and observed every move of the bloody monster, because this monster was much more powerful than a human and moved light and fast, so he had to be careful at all times.
Otherwise, if he was injured and healed in a few hours, it would be really difficult to explain and it would cause trouble.
The next moment, the bloody monster raised its hands, kicked off its legs, and jumped into the air like a silent cat. Its palms, which were about half the size of a living person, were full of intimidation.
Yu Xing wanted to test the hardness of this thing, so he saw the angle correctly and used his dagger to attack it. At the same time, he twisted around to avoid the position where the monster was charging forward.
The metal blade cut across the monster's flesh and blood, giving him the feeling of sinking into the mud. He saw that the monster's wounds did not bleed, as if the blood on the monster's body was just a layer of new skin and the blood inside had been drained out.
of.
It seems that it is the kind of monster that cannot feel pain... but its movements are still supported by muscles, joints and dense nerves.
This kind of thing is basically no threat if the joints are removed.
"Everyone wake up!" Yu Xing shouted loudly. He didn't plan to face this monster alone. After all, he chased him all the way to the camp. He must have been thinking about the team. No matter what, everyone had to go out to greet him. He was the only one with more people.
Neglect.
He knew clearly in his heart that this was probably the "dead man" Carlos mentioned. The body of the dead man came back to life, and instead helped the mountain and became one of the threats to the living.
Is this a different kind of corpse transformation?
As expected, things around Chongyin Mountain changed at will, and the corpse couldn't bear it even before it reached the ground.
Yu Xing raised the lights of several tents with his voice. The one who came out the fastest was Luke. He was the person responsible for the night watch in the first half of the night, but he sat inside the tent because it was too cold outside.
Originally, if a swarm of insects or vines came, he would be able to hear the sound in the tent and alert everyone. Who would have known that this time it was a corpse that came quietly?
Hearing the cry of the beloved painter San, Luke was excited and came out with a knife. He happened to see Yu Xing embarrassedly avoiding a bloody thing, and he quickly shouted: "Run here!"
Then Luke stepped in.
This team has no other advantages. The members have really good physical strength and courage. The others woke up one after another. Except for Ellie who poked her head out to watch, the other team members all stared blankly and picked up their weapons and rushed towards the bloody monster.
.
They woke up halfway through the rush, and the bright moonlight illuminated the bloody man's appearance clearly. Everyone cursed "grass" in their hearts, and then swung knives and daggers at the monster while emboldening themselves: "What kind of evil is this?"
Toy?"
The Blood Man probably has no IQ. With so many people coming together, it has no intention of retreating. It pounces on anyone who is close. Because it is too fast, everyone is injured again without paying attention.
The screams were mixed with the more determined knives. They all wanted to destroy this thing quickly, it was too dangerous.
“Remove its joints! Cut it on the legs!” Scar is indeed an experienced tomb robber. He quickly found the structural flaws of the bloody man and asked everyone to cut his limbs and neck.
It doesn’t matter if it hurts after cutting, just cut it off a few times and it will be fine.
During the break in the attack, Luke shouted: "Is this a rice dumpling?"
“Obviously not, this is not a zombie, not to mention, there is no coffin nearby!” Ellie was safe at the back. She prayed that she would not have too much work later, while observing whether there was only this bloody man around.
Her original intention was to feel at ease, but she didn't expect that she actually saw another strange humanoid creature behind the bushes in the distance.
Yu Xing took this moment to run up to her and gasped as if he was frightened. Ai Li pulled him in fear and pointed at the bush: "Damn, what do you think that is?"
Yu Xing looked along her fingers and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
About ten meters away, a dark figure stood there, exactly the same as the bloody man standing outside his tent just now.
So by analogy, this is the "dead man's" preparation before starting to attack?
Yu Xing thought he could be lazy, but he didn't expect to have to fight tonight. He held the dagger in his hand and found that the figure behind the bush was different from the bloody man. Not only was the skin and facial features still there, but the clothes he was wearing were still intact.
It’s the team’s jackets and overalls!
“Ade?” Yu Xing didn’t think it was Shijiu, because the height of the figure did not match Shijiu, and he had no breasts.
"Who?" Ellie thought she heard wrongly, so she repeated, "Ade?"
Hey, guess what, the more you look at it, the more it looks like hey!
Fear appeared in her eyes. Although the transformed corpses in the tomb were scary, everyone was afraid of their fighting power and some weird abilities. But watching the familiar people around you turn into monsters after death was a completely different feeling.
Already.
"What about that one?" Ai Li turned to look at the besieged bloody man, "Is it the thorn head?"
"Smart." Yu Xing didn't explain much. He patted Ai Li on the shoulder, "Don't stay in the tent. If you don't come out, you won't be able to escape when the dead come."
As soon as he finished speaking, "Ade" from behind the bushes rushed towards Yu Xing. Ai Li's face was pale, and with the help of Yu Xing, she crawled out and faced the team that was dealing with the bloody man.
Everyone shouted: "There are some here too!"
Brother Sun saw Ade's face clearly, cursed, and came to Yu Xing's side with Dao Scar and Yin Zi to help. This time Yu Xing saw clearly that these people were fierce in fighting, but their skills were too poor. Maybe
It's useful against living people, but it's useless against dead people. No wonder I haven't solved it after struggling with the bloody people over there for so long.
Alas, this is too less lessons. I haven't encountered many corpse tombs at a glance.
"Ade" looks much better than the Bloody Thornhead just for sale. The fragrance on its body has dissipated, and the blackness all over its body is caused by the spread of insect poison.
As a temporary member of the team, Yu Xing also went up to help Mimi and cut off the knee of one leg.
"Ad" immediately fell to his knees. Yin Zi was overjoyed when he saw this. He raised the dagger behind it and pierced it directly into its head. Who would have thought that it was actually kneeling with its lower body and its upper body turning at an exaggerated angle? Black
His big hands clamped down on Yin Zi's arm.
Everyone's exclamations were still stuck in their throats. It pulled Yin Zi down and pinched Yin Zi's neck with the other hand. Just as the joy on Yin Zi's face had time to turn into fear, he heard a heart-wrenching sound in the air.
"Hey", his expression froze.
The neck bones were broken, Yinzi's head hung limply, his eyes were wide open, and he refused to close his eyes.
"Yin Zi!" Brother Sun shouted with red eyes. Scar quickly cut off both of "Ad's" arms. Brother Sun cut off its head with one slash and it fell down peacefully.
"How could this happen..." Ellie swallowed, and screams were also heard from the bloody man. She forced herself to calm down and covered her hands.
She can panic, but her hands cannot shake.
When someone is injured, her hand is the biggest support and must not shake!
The Bloody Man was finally killed by Finley, and they collapsed on the ground panting. Fortunately, only Aaron's arm was bitten by the Bloody Man with a deep wound. The other people's injuries were less serious, and no one died.
“Hurry, enter the tent, I will stop the bleeding and disinfect you, and you, Aaron, your injury needs to be sutured.” Ai Li showed her professionalism, she gave orders, and everyone quickly restored order.
Yu Xing did not join in the fun. He showed Alli that he was not injured, then returned to his tent with a hole in the top, thought for a moment, and put the painting tube on his waist again.
He always had a feeling that things were not over yet tonight.
Because... this valley is too quiet. You can't even hear the chirping of insects and birds. The two people who just died on the mountain today turned into moving corpses and came to the valley, not to mention that they could identify the direction.
What is the basis for coming here? Is the purpose of coming here a living person or the valley itself? Let’s talk...
It can’t be that only two people from their team died on the mountain, right?
What about the dead people from other teams? Were they eliminated, or were they also hidden in the valley, but they didn't come with these two corpses just because they were farther away?
This is the worst-case scenario that Yu Xing thought of. He planned to sleep with his bag and painting tube on him, or at worst, sleep sitting up, in case something unexpected happened and he would not be able to get the supplies in time.
Everything else is easy to say. Don’t throw away the Tang knife and incense burner. There are also food and some rope grappling hooks. It will be very annoying if they are gone.
He rested for a while and heard the sound of a dispute coming from the tent next door.
Ellie was giving Aaron tetanus, and it was Finlay and Luke who were arguing.
Yu Xing listened for a while and heard that they had differences on how to dispose of Yinzi's body. Luke wanted to bury Yinzi so that his body would not be exposed in the wild, while Finley advocated cutting off the arms and legs of Yinzi's body.
break.
He heard a hint of sternness in Finley's broken voice: "Are you a stupid pig? You still can't see the weirdness of this mountain? The people who died in the mountain have all changed, and Yin Zi will probably change too. Take advantage of this opportunity.
Cut off his hands and feet at this time, so we can avoid another attack!"
"Who's to say, it's not necessarily good at all?" Luke refused to give in. "Spurhead looks like he died in the vines, Ade is because of poisonous insects, and maybe they turned into corpses because of the plants and plants in the mountains.
Animals are poisonous, but Yin Zi is not. He didn’t suffer any internal injuries, but his neck was broken. How could he transform into a corpse? We are all brothers. We can’t take him back if he died here, so let’s keep his body intact!"
“Fuck, put away your Holy Mother!” Finley was so angry, “He has really changed. Can you be responsible when the time comes? You can’t be responsible!”
Here you can see the difference between the experienced old man and the newcomer who has only been to the grave once. Finley is obviously more decisive, while Luke still holds a trace of innocence.
Unfortunately, here, if naivety does not have enough protection, it will harm others and ourselves.
Yu Xing chuckled softly in his tent. He thought that this dispute would definitely end with Finley's victory, because the people in this team were not loyal people, and the first priority was their interests.
No one wants to take the risk to care for the feelings of a dead companion.
Because it is not necessary.
Not everyone can be like Wu Xie in the book he read, with Zhang Qiling and Fatty protecting his innocence.
The more naive you are, the greater the price you will pay for growth later on. It is all like this.
Yu Xing had an inexplicable flashback to his past appearance in his mind. If he had just returned from studying painting overseas, he would not necessarily be willing to look at an honest corpse lying there, let alone a mutated corpse.
Why do you keep thinking about something that is not there?… Will the poisonous gas in the mountains make people mentally weak?
He stopped the thoughts in his mind vigilantly and listened to the people outside deciding the fate of Yinzi's body by the majority. Except for Luke, Ellie did not express an opinion, and everyone else agreed that Yinzi's hands and feet should be chopped off.
Yu Xing could feel Luke's confusion from across the tent. He was probably wondering why his teammates, who were getting along well with each other, were all so cold-blooded.
“I’m going to go out and get some air.” Luke said in a low voice.
Yu Xing opened the tent, looked at Luke's back walking not far away, and frowned.
He said: "Luke, don't go that way. If you feel unhappy, you can talk to me."
Luke turned his head in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay."
Then he stood still.
Yu Xing saw something from his rapidly turning pale face. He leaned out of the tent and looked behind him, taking in a breath of cold air.
I saw many standing figures gradually appearing in the deeper direction of the valley.
Behind the bushes that were half a man tall, there were many shadowy figures, no less than twenty of them at a glance.
"Oh my god, there are so many corpses!" Luke rushed back to the tent where Ellie was healing everyone, his voice trembling with fear, "Don't even bother discussing who should cut down Yin Zi, there are so many corpses, bah, corpse transformation, two
more than ten!"
This is a safer valley? Shit, this is clearly a valley of the dead!
