For a time, the situation in the main tomb showed a one-sided trend.
The thousand-year-old zombie was hit by several silver bullets from a man in military uniform, and its head was slashed continuously by the eight-sided Han sword of a strong middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit. In two seconds, he fell to the ground and rolled in pain, as if the end was coming.
The middle-aged man in Chinese tunic saw that the golden flames on the zombie were as fierce as a fire, so he quickly took two steps back and stopped attacking with his sword, lest he be affected by its death struggle.
The middle-aged man in green military uniform did not stop. When he saw his close combat companions retreating, he raised his gun and fired several rounds of silver bullets at the head and chest of the zombie rolling on the ground, making the intensity of the silver light not inferior. The golden flames maintain maximum damage and weakening to the Millennium Zombie.
This continued for a minute, and the screams of the thousand-year-old zombie that was at the end of its rope echoed inside and outside the main tomb. It rolled back and forth on the ground, trying to extinguish the blazing golden flames and silver light on its body but was unable to do so. After a while, Afterwards, the sounds of struggling became smaller and smaller.
"This old monster can't survive! Let me see him off for the last time!"
Lao Zhang, who was dressed in black, also joined the ranks of beating the drowned dog. He came to the door of the tomb and put the hand in his hand. The glutinous rice and black donkey hooves were thrown at the ground at the same time to the half-burned zombie that was motionless. However, after the glutinous rice and black donkey hooves touched the zombie's body, the zombie still did not react at all, and it seemed that it was really dead.
Master Zhao, a woman in white clothes, immediately stepped forward and looked carefully at a distance. As a professional who knows zombies very well, she made a judgment after observing for two seconds:
"Its breath is... It dissipates quickly and is indeed dead.”
As she said, the powerful evil energy in the extremely miserable Millennium Zombie is now gone, and it has become like a rigid dead thing. No matter how you look at it, it is trapped. destroyed.
The young man in a suit next to her suddenly became happy after hearing this, and immediately said:
"Everyone, hurry up and find the treasure! According to the treasure map, there must be a tiger talisman in its coffin!"
As he said that, the young man stepped forward and wanted to enter the tomb first, but was stopped by Lao Zhang, who was dressed in black. , persuaded:
"Don't worry! Be careful about sailing the Wannian Ship. It's best to ask Master Zhao for help! Otherwise, if someone approaches that thing rashly, it may be contaminated with yang energy and become a corpse!"
As soon as the veteran tomb robber finished speaking, Master Zhao, a middle-aged woman in white who was a little ahead of them, released her bald zombie again.
She let the bald zombie walk to the dead thousand-year-old zombie, stepped on it hard, and then kicked the corpse to the corner of the wall. Then she controlled the bald zombie to walk towards the sapphire coffin to check the contents inside.
"Huh? Why is it empty?"
Soon, Master Zhao discovered the problem, that is, there was nothing in the vision passed to her by the bald zombie, and the sapphire coffin was empty.
In order to prove that she was not lying, she then used the extremely powerful bald zombie to directly lift up the sapphire coffin and move it step by step in front of everyone.
When everyone took a look after the bald zombie put the coffin down, it was indeed as she said. It was completely empty inside, as clean as a freshly washed washbasin.
"Why is there nothing! Is this treasure map fake?!"
The young man in the dress became angry when he saw this. He took the yellow silk cloth in his hand and tore it hard. It can be seen that he was extremely disappointed with the result in front of him. .
At the same time, Wang Zhifan, who was hiding outside the main tomb chamber, also looked puzzled. He found that he could not see the current situation clearly. The current situation was very different from what he expected.
"That thousand-year-old zombie died so hastily? It obviously had the strength to kill those people... It died a bit inexplicably, and I didn't even have time to grab the head..."
Similar to the judgment of Master Zhao, a middle-aged woman in white, Wang Zhifan, who has strong perception, also judged at this moment that the thousand-year-old zombies who had endured the burning of golden flames and silver light had entered death and were not pretending.
He is very clear about whether he is dead or not. Some common methods of pretending to be dead cannot escape his perception. The current state of the Millennium Zombie is that it is dead, in a careless and meaningless way.
But just when he was very puzzled, he suddenly sensed a change in the target location. A small object appeared without any warning from the mutilated corpse of the thousand-year-old zombie!
It seemed to be a miniature metal cube with patterns engraved on its surface. It was smaller than a peanut, but as soon as it appeared, it attacked everyone not far away at an extremely terrifying and silent speed! The target is the young man in a suit who is still angry and complaining!
"Sure enough, there is a situation! The old zombie has a backup plan!"
In an instant, Wang Zhifan understood that the previous matter was not over. The thousand-year-old zombie must have been brewing a huge conspiracy, but He did not choose to interfere at this moment because he wanted to find out what the old zombie's back-up plan was.
Then he saw in his radar-like perception that the metal cube drilled out of the thousand-year-old zombie's body silently and quickly penetrated into the trouser leg of the young man in the dress, and then moved up the young man's trouser leg to his chest. The heart position on the chest was drilled in hard!
This scene happened in such a short time that no one except Wang Zhifan could react at all. Even if others happened to see it, they would think it was because they were dazzled, not to mention that their attention was currently focused on the coffin.
What makes Wang Zhifan even more weird is that he clearly confirmed that the chest of the young man in the dress was broken by the strange metal piece, but the other party did not even hum. He continued to stand and say this as if nothing happened. There wasn't even any blood on his chest!
"The block has penetrated into his heart and is sucking all the blood from his body!"
Wang Zhifan immediately concentrated his perception to investigate and confirmed the truth of the matter. In short, it was a dress The young man's heart has been taken away by the strange cube and his body has been dominated.
Feeling that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction, he then closely observed the condition of the young man in a dress and found that he did not change much from the outside.
Except that his cheeks are slightly thinner, his face seems a bit paler, and his eyes seem to have become a bit deeper, no difference can be seen.
"It's strange... This young man's heart has been replaced with something else, how can he still be like a normal person? Could it be..."
Wang Zhifan couldn't help but be confused, he couldn't help but The only reasonable explanation to understand that a normal human being can survive such a shocking change without crying out in pain is that he has been completely controlled, including his personal thinking!
In his shocked thoughts, Wang Zhifan, who kept observing secretly, then saw the young man in a suit and several people around him complaining a few words again, and then said:
"Forget it, that's it for this visit to the tomb... I've gained a valuable experience after all... Let's go back now and ask Master Zhao to bring the coffin with us."
After saying that, the young man in the suit showed a lack of interest. With an expression on his face, he took the lead in returning to the way he came, towards the darkness ahead.
The other people around him were a little surprised when they saw this, but they didn’t say anything and turned around to follow. After all, what others wanted was not found in the end, and it was normal for them to be not very interested.
“Don’t run so far ahead! You don’t even bring a torch, can you see the road clearly!”
The sturdy middle-aged man in Mao suit was also affected by this emotion and frowned Mei scolded, thinking that the young man in the suit had lost his self-control due to temporary setbacks. "Oh...Thank you, Uncle Qiu, for reminding me."
The young man in a suit who had walked to the front immediately stopped after hearing this, turned around and took the torch from the hand of the strong middle-aged man he called Uncle Qiu, and then took the lead again towards the way he came.
Seeing all this in the eyes of a strong middle-aged man, he immediately felt that the young man in a suit suddenly became a little strange, but he didn't think much about it and just thought it was the young man's mood that had changed after being hit.
After a while, a group of five people, led by the young man in a suit at the front, returned to the ground, followed by a bald zombie carrying a valuable sapphire coffin on his shoulders.
Wang Zhifan remained invisible and followed them for a while at this stage, but before the group walked out of the underground palace, he finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to reveal his whereabouts.
I saw five people walking in the middle of a passage in the underground palace. At the corner in front of them, a tall figure wearing a bamboo hat and a long knife suddenly appeared, blocking their way.
"Everyone stop!"
Wang Zhifan, who suddenly appeared, said directly and forcefully, blocking five people and a bald zombie carrying a sapphire coffin on his shoulders.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
These people were immediately surprised by the people blocking the road, and they all reflexively entered the fighting state, except for the young man in a suit who was leading the way and looked calm. , holding a torch and asking a few questions in a deep voice, it seemed that he had already known that Wang Zhifan was following nearby.
“Haha...it’s my turn to ask you who you are.”
At this moment, Wang Zhifan, who was wearing a bamboo hat, did not raise the pistol behind him and pointed it at the man in green military uniform. He pulled out the eight-sided Han sword and faced the middle-aged man in Chinese tunic suit. The middle-aged man in white clothes put his finger on the black vagina jar. The woman, the short man in black who pulled out the Luoyang shovel from his waist, and the bald zombie at the end who put down the sapphire coffin on his shoulder took it seriously. All his eyes were focused on the young man in the suit at the front.
"I'm just a young explorer, please excuse me."
Facing Wang Zhifan's aggressive gaze, the young man in the suit still maintained a calmness that was not in line with his original temperament, and his face showed Wang Zhifan, who was facing the front with a deep smile, replied, instead of launching a direct attack when his side had an absolute advantage in numbers.
"Really..."
Wang Zhifan immediately understood the meaning of the other party's answer, but he didn't intend to just let it go. Until now, he felt that he was being betrayed by the person in front of him. Existence has played a cruel trick, and it is necessary to regain its place and achieve its original goal.
"Nowadays, even a zombie can call himself an explorer? It's a bit ridiculous!"
Wang Zhifan then mocked mercilessly, wanting to see the shocked eyes of the young man in a dress in front of him when his background was revealed.
But the reality is that the other party is still looking at him with a smile, and his expression has not changed at all, as if he is just talking about his personal imagination.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about... If you insist on blocking the road, my friends and I are not vegetarians."
The young man in the dress immediately looked cold. When he opened his mouth to respond, a strong chill suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he issued a real threat to Wang Zhifan in front of him.
That kind of cold and deep look in his eyes was not something that a young man with little experience could possess. He looked as if he had experienced a thousand years of loneliness.
"Haha...Is this your plan? What a good plan..."
Wang Zhifan was 100% sure at this moment that the young man in a suit who was confronting him was no longer the original one. That, his insides have been replaced by some thousand-year-old monster, which uses strange small metal cubes to seize the body without anyone noticing.
He didn't know the specific details, but based on all the details he knew so far, this was the case, and it exactly explained the intuition he had while watching the battle not long ago and his subsequent doubts about the result.
When he first discovered the thousand-year-old zombie, Wang Zhifan judged that the opponent was so powerful that it would be difficult for the five-person team that came to rob the tomb to defeat it, even if they were professionals and well-equipped.
But the result surprised him. The Millennium Zombie was defeated throughout the whole process. It was clear that it had the strength to make a comeback, but it was constantly beaten, and there was no decent counterattack at all.
He also had an inexplicable intuitive feeling in the middle of the journey, deducing that the Millennium Zombie had discovered him hiding in the dark and chose to hide, so as not to fall into a situation where the snipe and the clam were fighting for the fisherman's gain.
Unexpectedly, the zombie tortured himself to death, so that he could not see the flaw.
Originally, Wang Zhifan thought that things would have a very sloppy but not unacceptable ending at this point, but he did not expect that the thousand-year-old zombie routine was very deep.
He unexpectedly transformed himself into the human side. Not only did he successfully escape from the golden cicada's shell, he also gained four powerful human allies to confront Wang Zhifan who was peeping in the dark.
From this we can know that Wang Zhifan's intuition at that time was indeed correct. The thousand-year-old zombie had discovered him long ago and implemented corresponding plans based on his threat. The other natives were just tools to it and had no influence at all. Really take it to heart.
It can also be seen from this that the thousand-year-old zombie is very afraid of him, a person who hides in secret, otherwise it will definitely not spend so much time and effort to gain an advantage by performing so many dramas. It would be absolutely easy and refreshing to kill directly and violently.
If Wang Zhifan is a native of this world, has complex interpersonal relationships in this world, and is not much stronger than a thousand-year-old zombie, then it will be difficult for him to solve this situation.
After all, it is difficult to reveal the identity of the other party's pseudo-person with just one mouth. Either there is a head-on confrontation and besieged by several people from the other party, or you can pretend you don't know anything and let the old zombie return to the world to hatch a bigger conspiracy.
But the actual situation is not like this. Even if the thousand-year-old zombie in front of it has paid enough attention to Wang Zhifan's threat and successfully implemented a perfect escape plan, it still far underestimated Wang Zhifan's strength level.
Wang Zhifan has always had an option available, which is brute force cracking, and he has decided to do so. (End of this chapter)
