The tunnel is extremely narrow.
The secret passage under the tree hole can only accommodate one person barely passing through.
Zhang Hao even had to use bone-shrinking skills to barely pass through this passage.
But the wild monkey is different. His body is too thin. When walking, he only needs to turn slightly sideways to pass through the passage.
"Is everything so narrow in here? Are you all so thin?"
Zhang Hao said somewhat speechlessly.
Hearing this, the wild monkey hurriedly waved his hand.
"Sir, don't worry, just go through this area and go forward. The front is very wide. There are not only rest areas and utility areas, but also independent rooms."
After hearing this, Zhang Hao finally felt relieved.
After walking forward for a while, about three to five minutes, Zhang Hao finally came to a relatively open area.
To say that it is open is just that compared to the previous one, the space here is still very small. A bed is only about 80 centimeters long, and the entire room is only about two meters long.
After all, Zhang Hao was just here for a visit, so he didn't feel much. As long as he could walk normally, he wouldn't ask for anything more.
"Sir, going further from here is other people's territory. I suggest you just take a look and don't break in. Otherwise, you will alert other people and I may not be able to protect you."
Zhang Hao heard this and patted him on the shoulder. Naturally, he would not have such thoughts.
He came here just to take a look and had no intention of going to other people's territory.
What Zhang Hao cares more about than the underground passage is the Valley of the Evil Market.
Hearing the news about the market, the wild monkey suddenly became very happy. It was obvious that he rarely talked to people, and he hadn't talked so happily in a long time.
He told Zhang Hao all the news he knew.
After he finished speaking, Zhang Hao did not let him reveal the information in vain, and directly gave him a seed condensed with earth vein energy.
The wild monkey was stunned for a moment, then took the object and stood aside flattered.
"Sir, this thing is a treasure, you just give it to me."
"What, you don't want it?"
Zhang Hao said lightly, planning to take it back.
When the wild monkey saw this, he exclaimed, hurriedly stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile:
"Sir, what are you talking about? Of course I want it!"
The treasure Zhang Hao gave him was so precious that he was a little embarrassed. After all, the news he gave Zhang Hao was just ordinary news.
Zhang Hao didn't care about this. What he valued was the conscience of the wild monkey. If the wild monkey hadn't taken the initiative to remind him, even if there would be no danger, there would still be many twists and turns.
But now, this twists and turns are gone.
There was still one day left, Zhang Hao did not plan to go back directly, but took advantage of the last day to explore.
And while he was exploring, news on the Internet had begun to ferment.
"Weird!"
Why are there thousands of graves in this uninhabited village?
Zombies are infested, gods come to save people!
The scene of Zhang Hao dealing with zombies, as the live broadcast of Sun Changyan and Xiaomei became popular, quickly appeared on the popularity lists of various platforms, and soon attracted the attention of not only domestic but also foreign fans.
Although there are differences between domestic and foreign countries, and the cultures are different, when it comes to seeking excitement, no matter what culture they are from, they all have the same approach.
Although Sun Changyan has never been to foreign live broadcast platforms, he doesn't care, because he knows that he is not targeting a certain type of people, but everyone.
Everyone is curious about whether there is hell in this world, and even more curious about whether there are gods.
Now, the videos he posted include not only evil spirits, gods, but also zombies.
Even if you don't believe this, just looking for excitement will attract the attention of many people.
As the video spread, discussions among all parties became more and more intense.
"Go, are there really zombies in this world? Isn't this too scary? I heard that zombies eat anything. If they come to the city, wouldn't they also eat living people?"
“Zombies are nothing, didn’t you see the female ghost in the video?
Zombies have bodies after all. Even if they eat you, they can at least see them in advance. Female ghosts are the scariest!
If the female ghost eats people, you won’t even have time to react! ”
“You really believe what’s in this video? Isn’t this just a special effects video?
Go and check this anchor. They are a team and they are already in a transformation crisis. They must have hired a professional special effects team to assemble their magic to deceive people! ”
"Don't believe me. Let me tell you, I saw a ghost ten years ago. My father used to be a corpse collector. If it weren't for my grandfather who prevented a disaster for him, our whole family would have been dead."
< br>
The Internet is becoming more and more popular, and every comment seems to have seen an evil ghost, and they are extremely serious.
In a village in the southeast region, a man with a mustache was roaring crazily.
"Asshole, I don't care what excuse you have. I only want this person and I must find him, otherwise you don't have to come back. I don't have useless subordinates like you."
"Whether this person is a god or not, we must recruit them. From them, we may be able to find the secret of immortality!"
"Boss, don't get too excited. I'll send someone right away."
In a mysterious manor in the northwest.
"Send someone immediately and put down whatever you are doing. This matter must be confirmed immediately."
“Some people on the Internet say it’s a special effects team. I don’t care if you believe it or not, but I will take this as true for the time being.
If it is a special effects team, send these two people to see the King of Hell. If not, be sure to control these two people before others do. ”
"Boss, please don't worry, we will do it right away."
In Central City, in the mysterious courtyard of a manor, a small screen is placed on a long red table.
What was playing on the screen was a video of Sun Changyan.
"Based on this video, this should be a borderland. Going to the outskirts of the border, there is an unknown barren mountain.
According to our investigation, this place was originally going to be developed, but a few months later, some unexplained conditions occurred, causing the development to be interrupted, and the tourism strategy of this place was also forced to change. ”
"I don't want to hear what you are saying. Give me an answer."
Deep in the long table, the old man said tiredly.
He has to deal with a lot of things every day, and he doesn't want to listen to these unwarranted explanations. After explanations come and go, don't he still want to hear a result?
After hearing this, the folklore expert shook his head helplessly.
This matter is very important, and hearing the explanation is even more important than hearing the answer.
But he also knew that the old man in front of him was busy with his affairs and didn't even have much time to rest. He had no time to listen to his explanation.
The elderly have little time and must deal with more things, leaving the rest of the time to rest.
Thinking of this, he immediately said:
"This thing is true. Even if there are no gods, there are at least zombies. According to folklore, this place is not clean."
Hearing this sound, the room felt extremely depressed. There were two guards standing next to the old man. Although they were only the old man's guards, they made a big impression in the place.
One of them frowned, looked at the old man, and said cautiously:
"Old sir, do you want to block the news and erase this matter from the Internet?"
Hearing this, before the old man could speak, another man immediately objected.
"No, no one believes this. If you block it directly, it will be considered true.
The official must not give up easily. We only need to guide the matter from the back and direct this matter to the special effects and the anchor's rumor making. Let me handle the rest. ”
After hearing this, the old man glanced at the two of them silently, knowing that they were competing with each other, but he did not stop them.
His relationship with these two people is not just as simple as superiors and subordinates. They are representatives of various forces. Although they work in the same office, their identities are extremely complicated.
He is involved in a series of identities such as archeology and antique trading, as well as antique appraisal. Although the market is less than a few billion, because it involves factors such as folk customs and cultural inheritance, his influence is even greater than that of some with hundreds of billions. industry.
"Go and investigate first. I don't want to listen to your judgment. I want to see the evidence. If you can't find the evidence, bring these two people to see me."
The old man said calmly, finally making a decision.
At the same time, Zhang Hao stretched out and silently looked at the deserted village in the distance, with a smile finally appearing on his lips.
After a conversation with the wild monkey yesterday, he finally learned the secret here. While he still had time, he browsed around the underground passages and found that the underground passages here were wide and narrow.
Some passages are simply dug into a narrow passage, while others even have underground rest areas and separate toilets.
Zhang Hao had no curiosity about the underground, so he just satisfied his curiosity and left the place immediately.
The wild monkey was grateful for Zhang Hao's kindness in giving the treasure. Before leaving, he prepared a big baggage for Zhang Hao with more than a dozen things in it.
When Zhang Hao returned to the deserted village, Chen Lijiu was still sleeping soundly. When he heard Zhang Hao's movements, he immediately stood up in embarrassment.
"Boss, you are back."
Chen Lijiu carefully moved his body, trying to make room by the campfire, but Zhang Hao just glanced at him and asked him to lie down again, and then unwrapped the wild monkey.
Only then did he realize that the dozen or so things in the package were actually food.
In a deserted village, food is far more important than other things. Most of the other things are of no use, but food can immediately replenish your physical strength to cope with the next deserted village market.
From this point of view, Ye Monkey is obviously a smart person and knows what he needs most. Zhang Hao's heart moved slightly, but he recognized this favor.
"Are you hungry?"
Zhang Hao heard his stomach growl and glanced at Chen Lijiu, only to find that he was hiding aside and nodding, looking longingly at the thing in his hand. He obviously wanted to eat, but he didn't dare to speak.
Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly.
"If you want to eat, just talk. Don't think I'm scary."
Zhang Hao said calmly, pointing to the stone funnel outside the village.
"In two hours, the time will be up. If you don't eat something, if what happens next, will you have the strength to deal with it?"
With that said, Zhang Hao threw a roasted chicken leg to him.
There were more than a dozen foods in the package. In addition to the chicken legs, there were two roasted rabbits and three roasted squirrels.
Zhang Hao did not refuse the food to anyone who came.
He and Chen Lijiu were both young and vigorous men. In their prime, this amount of food was not enough, but it was no problem to fill their stomachs.
Chen Lijiu was obviously very hungry. He grabbed the chicken leg and ate it in two or two bites, but he still couldn't bear to throw it away. After thinking about it, he just chewed the bones.
Zhang Hao looked aside and couldn't help but snorted, and threw two more things casually.
"Thank you sir, thank you very much."
Chen Lijiu exclaimed and said with great excitement.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao waved his hand and motioned for him to eat quickly.
The two of them didn't have much time. After all, they had to find a place to hide after eating. Otherwise, they would be in a very embarrassing situation when the market opened.
There was no talk for a while, just the business of two people eating.
After a while, all the food in the bag was eaten. Without Zhang Hao's instructions, Chen Lijiu immediately dug a hole and buried all the food residues in it.
"Sir, let's hide first."
Chen Lijiu said awkwardly.
"Why hide?"
Zhang Hao looked at Chen Lijiu playfully and said with a smile.
He was asking knowingly.
Chen Lijiu obviously noticed it, and the embarrassment on his face became even more intense.
"Sir, let me tell you the truth. There is a rule in this market. When the market is open, if someone stands on the ground, it means that he is a live chicken. This kind of live chicken must be sacrificed."
Chen Lijiu explained awkwardly, but knew that he couldn't hide, so he could only confess completely.
Live chickens are livestock, and every time before the market opens, one must be caught, slaughtered and bled to suppress the evil spirits in the mountains.
In the past, they would deliberately release news to guide people from the outside in.
But today is different.
Zhang Hao's appearance disrupted the rules of the Valley of Evil, and no one came alive.
There must be sacrifices, but if there are no outsiders, you can only find them among your own people.
The weak are not qualified to live in the Valley of the Wicked!
Zhang Hao withdrew his gaze and stopped his nonsense.
"No matter how much conscience you still have, if you eat my food and still dare to hide it from me, you will be completely hopeless."
Zhang Hao said deeply, and then led him towards the back of the village.
After a while, the two came to a pit.
Chen Lijiu looked on, feeling quite dumbfounded.
He thought Zhang Hao didn't know these things, but he didn't expect that he knew it better than he did.
Only then did he finally understand the meaning of Zhang Hao's words.
Zhang Hao was testing him to see if he had any conscience.
Although he was embarrassed, he managed to get through it.
A chill enveloped his heart, and Chen Lijiu couldn't help but tremble, feeling secretly grateful in his heart.
You must never lie again, at least you can't act smart in front of your husband, otherwise you won't have the chance to make up for your mistakes again. (End of chapter)
