A pale-faced male corpse was lying on the ground. There were two blood holes on the side of the corpse's neck. The blood in the body had been sucked dry. His face was ferocious and frightened. He was obviously frightened before he died.
Zhang Shan, Li Si and the other three detectives were hiding far behind, while Han Zhe stood beside the corpse with a gloomy expression.
The deceased was a member of the Zhangjia Village. This morning, he was found dead in his backyard by his servants. The servants immediately reported the case to the police. After learning that the case was strange and that it was likely to be caused by a monster, Magistrate Zhang immediately called the police.
Let Li Qing and Han Zhe bring people to investigate.
Zhang Yuanwai's death was tragic. Li Mu endured the discomfort, stood beside Li Qing, and asked: "Boss, can you tell what kind of monster did this?"
Han Zhe squatted down, stretched out his right hand, and measured the distance between the blood holes on the corpse's neck with his thumb and index finger. Then he stood up and said with a serious expression: "It's not a demon, it's a corpse."
Li Mu could feel that after Han Zhe spoke, the expression on Li Qing's face became much more solemn.
She looked at Han Zhe and asked, "What level of zombie is it?"
"At least it's jumping stiffness." Han Zhe took a deep breath and asked in surprise: "When did jumping stiffness appear in Yangqiu County? Could it be that it came from Zhou County next door?"
Li Qing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Zhou County is in the east and Zhangjiacun is in the west. It should be impossible for them to come from Zhou County."
"Whether it is or not, we are in big trouble this time." Han Zhe said solemnly: "This thing is different from monsters and ghosts. They have no humanity at all. If they harm someone once, they will definitely harm them a second time. They must be found and eliminated as soon as possible.
…”
Li Mu's previous knowledge of zombies all came from Hong Kong and Taiwan films in the 1980s and 1990s. One of his favorite Hong Kong and Taiwan stars was zombie Taoist priest Lin Zhengying, and he was obsessed with his zombie movies for a time.
The zombies in this world are not the kind that jump around in the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty. It is recorded in "Ten Continent Monster Chronicles" that zombies are transformed from the corpse of a person after death, and are born from the resentment and filth of the world. They do not age, die, or die.
Destruction, taking advantage of the moon energy, moving to no fixed place according to the festival, and likes to eat the essence and blood of humans and animals...
Low-level zombies include white zombies, black zombies, and jumping zombies. White zombies are covered with white hair. They are corpses that have just turned into zombies. They are very easy to deal with. They are extremely afraid of sunlight and move slowly. They often attack livestock at night and dare not
Attack people.
If a white zombie eats enough cattle and sheep essence and blood, after a few years, it will shed all its white hair and be replaced by a few inches of black hair, which is called black zombie. Black zombie is still afraid of the sun and fire, and its movements are still slow and cannot be chased.
On normal human beings.
After a few more decades of sucking blood, the black zombie loses its black hair and becomes a jumping zombie. It starts to move mainly by jumping, with faster and farther steps. Although it is still photophobic, its body is already covered with copper heads and iron arms. Ordinary weapons can even
Even magic weapons cannot damage it. If classified according to this level, the zombies in most of the zombie movies Li Mu watched fall into the category of jumping zombies.
Zombies are neither humans nor ghosts nor monsters. They have no intelligence and act entirely on instinct. Because of this, they are far more harmful than monsters.
Any monster with some brains knows not to harm people easily, otherwise they will become the target of the imperial court's extermination. But zombies are different. They are transformed from the corpses of people after death. Their spiritual intelligence has already dissipated with the dissipation of the three souls. The only
Instinct is blood-sucking evolution.
Before evolving into flying zombies, all zombies had only instincts and no intelligence.
This greatly increases their harm. Almost every time there are traces of zombies, the government will exterminate them immediately to avoid causing greater harm.
Han Zhe exited Yuanwai's Mansion and said to the people in Zhangjiacun waiting outside: "Assign a few people to burn Yuanwai Zhang's body immediately."
An old man walked out on crutches and said, "Master Guancha, this is not good. After a person dies, he must be buried in peace..."
Han Zhe glanced at him and asked, "Who are you?"
The old man said: "I am the uncle of the deceased Zhang Dafu."
"It's up to you whether to burn it or not." Han Zhe smiled coldly and said, "But I tell you, he was bitten to death by a zombie and will turn into a living corpse tonight. Even if you bury it, he can still
After crawling out of the soil, the living corpses can sense people with similar blood to them, and you will be the first to be bitten..."
"Burn, burn right away!" The old man's face straightened, he hammered his crutch on the ground, and said to the two strong men: "Zhang Da Zhang Er, go find firewood immediately and burn the bodies, one by one, no matter what.
Listen to the Lord Official!"
After the old man finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and said in horror: "Half a month ago, my brother, Zhang Dafu's father, had his grave dug up, and I don't know where his body went. Is it possible?"
yes……"
Han Zhe frowned and asked, "How long has your brother been dead?"
The old man said: "It will only be less than a month."
"Impossible." Han Zhe shook his head and said: "If you want to become a zombie, you need at least twenty years of Taoism. If anyone in your Zhang family has been dead for more than twenty years, go and see if there is anything abnormal in their graves...
"
The old man pointed at a few people and said repeatedly: "You guys, why don't you go and see it!"
Li Mu heard some familiar knowledge points from Han Zhe's mouth, and curiously asked Li Qing: "Boss, will zombies really kill their own relatives first?"
Li Qing nodded and explained: "In addition to absorbing Yin Qi and Moonlight, zombie cultivation also relies on human essence and blood. The blood of their relatives is the same as theirs, which is a fatal attraction for them."
Li Mu murmured: "Uncle Ying will not deceive me..."
Li Qing asked: "What?"
"Nothing." Li Mu shook his head and asked, "Then should we prepare paper, pen, ink, and swords?"
Zhang Shan came closer and asked doubtfully: "What kind of paper, pen, ink, sword?"
"Yellow paper, red pen, black ink, kitchen knife, wooden sword." Han Zhe walked over, glanced at Li Mu in surprise, and said, "I didn't expect you to know this."
Li Mu recalled a figure wearing Taoist robes and said, "I studied with a Taoist priest before."
Han Zhe didn't say anything else. He just asked the villagers in Zhangjia Village to find a chicken. After killing the chicken and taking the blood, he used the chicken blood and ink, and used a red pen to draw a talisman. He lit the talisman and mixed the ashes with the chicken blood.
Together, they said to Zhang Shan and other police officers: "You guys, put them on the blades of your swords, and then take some villagers to search for them on the nearby mountains. Pay special attention to cemeteries and mass graves. If you find anything,
, come back and report immediately..."
A trembling detective walked up and said, "Boss, what should you do if you encounter that thing?"
Han Zhe glanced at him and said: "Don't worry, that thing is afraid of the sun and will not appear during the day, but you must come back before the sun sets. If you encounter an accident, set off fireworks to call for help."
Li Mu's Bai Yi sword was originally a magic weapon, so there was no need to apply the chicken blood. He was about to go out with Zhang Shan and others to search for traces of the zombie, when Li Qing suddenly said: "Li Mu, stay."
In Han Zhe's strange eyes, Li Mu walked back and asked: "Boss, do you need me to do anything?"
Li Qingdao: "You stay here, watch over Zhang's direct blood relatives, and don't let them run around. If the person who became a zombie is an ancestor of the Zhang family, then it will definitely come back..."
"I know." Li Mu nodded and asked, "Would you like to prepare some glutinous rice?"
Li Qing asked: "What are you preparing glutinous rice for?"
Li Mu asked doubtfully: "Can't glutinous rice restrain zombies?"
Han Zhe snorted coldly and said: "Don't think that any quack magician knows the real Taoism. It's unheard of for Nuomi to restrain zombies. It's so easy to believe these nonsense. Miss Qing, I want to discipline this subordinate for you, so
If he goes on, he will not only kill himself, but also drag down his colleagues...
"My people don't need to be disciplined by you."
Li Qing said coldly, then looked at Li Mu and said, "It's never been recorded in the book that Nuomi can restrain zombies. Where did you hear that?"
"A Taoist priest." Li Mu smiled and said: "His surname is Lin. He is a Taoist master. He is a master of Taoism and specializes in defeating zombies and demons. He is also known as the zombie Taoist priest and Yi Mei Taoist. There are many things about zombies.
, I learned about it through him. He said that Nuomi can restrain zombies. If you encounter a zombie, as long as you hold your breath, it will not be discovered by it..."
Li Qing looked slightly different and said: "Zombies are dead objects. They cannot see with their eyes or hear with their ears. They rely on their breath to sense a person's position. The Taoist priest has this knowledge and should not lie. There are countless Taoist methods and no one can
Knowing everything, maybe this is his secret method. As for whether it works or not, you will know after trying it..."
