Chapter 158 Immortality!
[Immortal: The body will not decay. 】
It seems to be the simplest entry, but it has some special changes.
Many people are vaguely aware that their family members have been dead for a long time, but the bodies show no signs of stinking and decay, and there are not even flies or insects.
Most people just think that the weather is getting colder, so the body can be preserved for enough time.
After all, they wouldn't really let the body lie outside all the time. Sooner or later, they would have to put the body into the ground.
So they did not notice that not only did the body show no signs of decay, but it even gradually became stiff and solid.
The body surface turned faintly black, and the nails slowly grew longer...
From time to time, the corpse would tremble slightly, or the upper body would suddenly sit up.
Fortunately, the police in Tianhu County came out in time to refute the rumors and tell everyone about the appearance of these corpses through personal experience.
Although the brain is dead after death, the body's blood vessels are not dry and the limbs are not stiff, and various muscles will spontaneously move.
As for the corpse sitting up suddenly, that is even more normal.
Muscles will gradually atrophy after death, affecting the bones of the whole body to move, which will cause arms to be raised, or to sit up suddenly.
Couples like them have stayed in Yizhuang and the morgue for a long time, and they are well aware of the strange behavior of these corpses.
Anyone who has never seen more than a dozen corpses cannot be called a qualified work.
Although I don’t know how many people will believe these claims, at least the storm has been suppressed from the outside.
Afterwards, these works were highly rewarded by the county magistrate, and they were ordered to keep their mouths shut in the coming days and never let anything out.
In the days that followed, people from time to time claimed that they saw corpses outside the window in the middle of the night.
Following rumors and rumors, some people have even made up the sayings of "Yin soldiers taking advantage of the way" and "Exorcism to drive away corpses".
But these excess fears did not plunge the city into chaos. Instead, the excess soul energy increased the strength of Xu Ke's soul.
Every moonlit night, Xu Ke would let these corpses come out to bask in the moonlight, absorbing the power of the moonlight to temper their bodies.
This is currently the most cost-effective method of raising corpses.
It does not require a large amount of blood and evil spirit to cultivate the corpse, but it also prevents these zombies from being too thirsty for blood and prone to losing control.
And in Xu Ke's view, this is also a very memorable thing.
Dead family members can come back when they are in danger in the future to protect their families one last time.
According to Xu Ke's estimation, after several years of accumulation of corpses from all kinds of natural and violent deaths, there would be at least a thousand zombies.
It is equivalent to having thousands of powerful troops who are not afraid of pain and are invulnerable.
…………
Shiyi, who was walking alone in the wilderness, suddenly felt a resistance coming from her body.
No matter how much she struggled, she could not move her body, and her range of motion became smaller and smaller.
Taking a closer look, I didn't know when I was hanging on a huge spider web.
This spider web is extremely tough, no matter how hard Shiyi struggles, she cannot break it.
At this time, a giant spider as tall as two people suddenly crawled out from the other end of the spider web.
The sharp poisonous jaws make people's legs weak after looking at them.
The giant spider seemed to be afraid of Shiyi's escape, so it quickly threw out several sticky small spider webs, completely sticking Shiyi to the spider webs, making it difficult to even move her fingertips.
But the next moment, Shiyi grabbed it casually.
The giant spider suddenly twitched and fell to the ground like a green onion, losing all movement.
After a while, Shiyi finally struggled to break free from the spider web.
He stepped forward and cut open the spider's body surface with a hand knife, and directly took out the spider's poison sac.
Weighing the weight, a poison sac the size of a fist was filled with poison that could seal the throat when it reaches the point of blood.
"It seems... almost done."
Shiyi stretched out her finger and licked it. It seemed to have no effect, and her body didn't hurt or itch.
I stretched my fingers to the river not far away and rinsed them.
I saw many fish with white bellies floating up in the river soon.
Satisfied Shiyi returned to the Bone Temple and came to the wooden basin that had been prepared for a long time.
This wooden basin has been filled with a lot of venom collected by Shiyi.
There is the venom of the five-step snake, the venom of the scorpion that transforms into a demon, the back sting of the wasp's tail...
The most important thing is that when Shiyi was wandering around two days ago, he unexpectedly encountered We arrived at an old man who was being hunted and hiding.
The old man hid and called to Shiyi for help. He wanted Shiyi to help him lure away the pursuers. It would be best if he could find some healing medicine and drinking water.
Shiyi was so dumb that she didn’t react for a moment.
As a result, the old man suddenly threw out a centipede and bit Shiyi.
Then the old man claimed to be some kind of little poison king, with a very vicious reputation. The centipede was the treasure he had raised for more than ten years, and if he took one gulp, there would be no cure.
If you want to survive, you have to obey his orders. Otherwise, once the poison takes effect, the intestines will be pierced and the belly will rot and die immediately.
After Shiyi casually took out the heart and liver, he found that what was said in the [Eating Poison and Feeding the Heart Sutra] was true.
The taste of heart and liver tempered by toxins will be completely different.
As for this so-called little poison king, he is in daily contact with various poisons, and his body is already covered with various poisons.
Even the breath contained extremely powerful poison. A normal person would become dizzy even if he spoke a few words to him, and over time, he would bleed to death.
So the effect of the heart is indeed stronger, allowing Shiyi's strength to steadily rise to a small level.
Even the centipede, which he regarded as a treasure, was caught and crushed by Shiyi and thrown into the wooden basin.
In such a pot of hundreds of poisonous medicine soup, I threw the heart of the monster I hunted before into it and soaked it for a while.
In fact, even the creator of this technique would be shocked if he saw this production method.
When they quench the poison in their hearts and livers, they will not pursue the more powerful the poison, the better.
But it is about moderation and caution, for fear that a slight overdose of toxins will kill them in one bite.
And the food cooked in this pot of Baidu Soup is indeed extraordinary.
After just a small mouthful, Shiyi felt a rare soreness and numbness that ran from her mouth to her abdomen.
He reluctantly swallowed the whole heart, and the food in his stomach became hotter and hotter like a soldering iron, and even the pain spread like a needle prick.
Fortunately, a strong feeling of dizziness came over my head at this time, which numbed the pain in my abdomen.
Shiyi felt that the world in front of her suddenly became colorful.
While the sky and the earth were spinning, there were a large number of colorful light spots flying everywhere.
Shiyi was excited and wanted to reach out and grab those light spots, but her foot accidentally slipped.
Rolling down directly from the towering peak...
About half a day later, a man wearing a mask and pushing a car happened to pass by here and saw him on the side of the road. The unconscious Shiyi.
After a period of understanding, ordinary people have also developed ways to avoid the harm of gray fog and reluctantly leave the city to go to other states and counties.
But the risk of rushing is still much greater than in the past.
The gray fog itself not only carries a large amount of pollution and distortion, but the dangerous evil substances contained in it also increase exponentially.
The man was startled when he first found himself tripping over something that looked like a corpse.
But when he found that the 'corpse' seemed to still have 'body temperature' on it, and it was mumbling vaguely about something delicious...
Originally, the man didn't want to cause more trouble. .
But when he saw Shiyi's face, he couldn't help but be surprised.
His temperament and appearance are so refined that if he were sold to a trafficker, he could get at least three to five hundred taels of silver.
Although he is not a full-time flower photographer, he can be regarded as a half-time flower photographer
Sold to beggars for begging performances, it is really a huge profit and a lot of income.
This time he ventured out of the city because he was so notorious in the local counties and counties that he had no choice but to take his savings and go to other counties to find a living.
Who knew that I would pick up such a beautiful woman for nothing, it is really a windfall.
He waved his hand in front of Shiyi's eyes to confirm that she was still talking in her sleep, so he carried her onto his cart, preparing to transport her outside the city and find a home.
Less than half an hour of walking, the man suddenly discovered that a dog he was transporting in his car suddenly started to scream.
This is a good dog that I finally picked out.
I hope to use its skin to carry out my own 'animal creation method'.
Hurry forward to check the dog in the cage.
But they found that the dog's appearance began to change quickly...
The skin was ulcerated, the flesh and blood were swollen, and it was beyond recognition.
The terrifying appearance seemed to have been caused by a strange disease for many years, which made the man's legs weak with fear.
I immediately thought that I might have accidentally provoked something nasty and dirty.
After turning around and running a few steps, my feet suddenly felt weak and I fell down on the road.
Subconsciously looking back, I saw that one of my legs seemed to have melted. Not only was it broken to the ground, there was even yellow-green liquid flowing from the fracture.
Amid the miserable howling, the man fell to the ground and looked at his hands, and found that his skin was just like that of the dog. It quickly began to fester, peel, and decompose.
In the blink of an eye, it became unrecognizable, and half of the body was about to rot and collapse.
But even so, the man's energy was extraordinarily strong for some reason, and he rolled and crawled, stumbling and escaping forward.
At the same time, several beggars who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time were already impatient.
Because entering and exiting the city requires interrogation and identity documents must be confirmed.
So these friends could only wait outside the city in advance and prepare all kinds of proofs needed for him to enter the city.
Prepare to recruit that ‘technical talent’ to join their local beggar gang.
