Chapter 22 It's actually a prize
We originally thought that after the huge rocks that blocked the road would fall, many corpses would crawl out of the coffin and attack us, but the result was obviously different from what we thought.
Those sarcophagus did react, but the first thing we saw was not the corpse, but a layer of white mist. The mist was very rich, and it looked a bit like the cloud effect made of dry ice in a stage performance. However, the white mist obviously could not have been made of dry ice, but it really looked similar.
The fog is obviously much heavier than the air. When it comes out of the sarcophagus, it looks like a sea of clouds. When the fog that exceeds the edge of the sarcophagus leaves the sarcophagus, it pours down along the edge of the sarcophagus like running water, and then a large area of relatively thin fog falls on the ground. However, as the fog grows older and older, a faint fog quickly forms on the ground. Fortunately, the fog does not accumulate all the time, but does not continue to increase after covering the ground with a thin layer. Although there is still fog gushing out from the coffin, the clouds on the ground show no sign of rising. It seems that this thing will naturally dissipate.
After the clouds and mists appeared, we still did not wait for the expected corpses, so that we soon became impatient.
Zhenhong glanced at me, and the meaning was obviously asking me if I needed to go up and take a look. I thought for a while or signaled them not to move, and then I began to walk forward carefully.
In fact, the closest coffin to us was only a few meters away from where we were, so even though it was very slow, I still quickly arrived next to the sarcophagus.
Because the sarcophagus is full of thick mist. Even if I stand next to the sarcophagus, I can't see clearly what's inside. Therefore, I simply stretched my head and looked at it. After confirming that I couldn't see the situation inside directly, I decisively gave up the plan to see clearly, and turned to the sarcophagus on the side of the wall.
Unlike the sarcophagus placed in the center of the passage, the sarcophagus embedded on the wall are all standing coffins, which means they are all standing. Because the fog is very heavy, it is impossible for them to cover the entire space inside the coffin in a standing coffin. At least I should be able to see the situation in the upper part of the sarcophagus.
The facts are similar to what I thought. When I walked to the nearest erected coffin, I saw the situation inside very simply.
Just as I thought, because the standing coffin was standing upright, and the cover in front was opened. So the situation in the upper part of the coffin was very clear, and there was no fog that could block my sight. At this time, there was indeed a human-shaped object in the standing sarcophagus. And I think this was mostly a corpse.
The reason why it is impossible to confirm whether this is a corpse is mainly because the human-shaped object in the sarcophagus is wearing a very wide robe. This robe has a wide hem and long sleeves. The cuffs are very wide, and the arms are completely covered in the sleeves, and there is no sign of skin exposed outside. The hem of the robe below is dragged directly to the ankle. You can only see shoes, and you can't see any skin. The upper part is similar to the lower part. Although the robe is gone only to the neck, the collar of this robe is very high, and it is a hard collar. It stands high and has no intention of falling down, so that the whole neck and a small part of the chin of this guy were blocked by the collar, and there was no sign of seeing the inside. As for the higher position...
...It was a hat similar to the zombie belt we saw before, which was covered with cloth curtains. This hat was also a relatively high type, but it was not a spire, but gradually shrunk from the head circle position, but suddenly became a flat top at a height of more than ten centimeters, without continuing to extend upwards. However, compared with the zombie hats I saw before, this guy's hat was obviously much more gorgeous. The blue-bottomed hat looked like it was made of some high-end material, with no trace of dirty surface, but it was silky and shiny and very beautiful. In addition, there were many things similar to runes on this guy's hat, all of which were embroidered with gold thread, and it looked very fine at first glance, which was not at the same level as the zombies I saw before.
In addition to being particularly gorgeous, the most important thing about this hat is that it also has a curtain hanging in front of it, covering the entire face of the thing suspected to be a corpse. Moreover, a bunch of very complicated runes were embroidered with gold thread on the front of the curtain. The faint energy fluctuation shows that this thing is definitely not for decoration.
Although I could see the approximate appearance of this thing, because it had no skin on it and was still motionless, I was not sure what was going on with this thing. As for the situation in the coffins lying down, I knew nothing about it.
Seeing me standing there for a long time, Christina and the others couldn't help asking, "What's going on over there?"
I looked at them with some uncertainty and said, "I don't know either! It seems that there is a corpse, but I don't know why there is no response at all."
Zhenhong was obviously a little too anxious to wait. When she heard me, she ran over and looked at the sarcophagus I was looking at. After finding the corpse, she didn't ask me and just reached out to poke it. When I saw it, I quickly grabbed Zhenhong's hand and said, "I'll do it!"
Zhenhong didn't argue with me either. Since I said I wanted to do something, she took the initiative to give in. I turned Yongheng into a long stick, and then stood two meters away and carefully touched the arm of the corpse with Yongheng.
Unexpectedly, the other party's body was not stiff. After Eternal encounter, the thing suspected to be a corpse shook, but as soon as my power was removed, it immediately stood up again, and there was no intention of falling down.
Zhenhong and I looked at each other in confusion. Just now, it was obvious that this thing was a living zombie or something, because if it was a real zombie, it would have been pushed down just now. But after the guy obviously lost his balance, he would find the balance and stand up again. Only zombies can do this. However, if this thing is a living zombie, they should have attacked us immediately, but now this thing seems to be like air, and there is no reaction at all. This does not conform to the movement rules of zombies.
"President, you might as well just hook it out with eternity, right?" Christina suggested at the back.
I thought about it and it seemed that this was the only way. So I turned the front end of the eternal to a hook with a very large curve to circle the neck of the thing from the back, and then let the eternal deformation completely close the hook, turning it into a circle to lock the neck of the thing. In this way, the guy is fixed, and there is still eternal block between it and me. If it wants to come, I can't get close to me as long as I push it hard.
After tying the guy's neck, I carefully began to pull out. The guy didn't seem to be resisting me. I just used a little bit of strength and the other party started to move forward directly with my strength. When the guy started to move, I was still worried about whether this thing was going to pounce on him, but as soon as I stopped, it stopped. There was no intention of taking the initiative.
After confirming that this guy didn't seem to take the initiative, I let go of my hand and pulled the guy out of the coffin. With the premise that the other party did not resist, I quickly pulled him to the place where we were. As a result, the other party moved with my power all the way, without any intention of resisting.
"This should be a corpse, right?" Christina asked, looking at the thing in front of her.
I frowned and said, "I'm not sure. I didn't smell the stench of a corpse, and although there is also death energy on this thing, it's not too strong, and it feels very strange."
"Is this a zombie transformation going on?" Jin Qin asked: "Because the transformation has not been completed, it will not move, and the death aura on its body is not too heavy."
"It shouldn't be." I shook my head and said, "The energy fluctuations on this thing are quite strong. If a zombie is not at such a large energy level, otherwise if these things are transformed, they will be all at the ss level."
At this time, the gold coins suddenly said: "Anyway, this thing has nothing to do with our mission. If they don't move, can we ignore it?"
Not to mention, the words of gold coins remind us. We had just retreated to the wall here because we were worried about being attacked. If these corpses would not move, it seemed that there was no need for us to care about these things. Just treat them as normal corpses. At most, it would be a bit cunning when passing by, and it would have no effect on us.
After we realized, we immediately followed our previous thoughts, except for the main goal of the task, we ignored the other things without affecting the main task. After letting Yong Heng let go of this guy, we decided that this thing had no intention of moving by ourselves, and we were ready to leave this place directly. However, just as we were about to leave, Zhenhong went over bored and raised the curtain in front of the thing and wanted to see what the face of the thing looked like. And it was her that suddenly touched this thing.
Just after Zhenhong lifted the curtain in front of the guy, the thing suddenly opened his mouth and made a "ho..." sound, and a large amount of white mist sprayed out from his mouth, exactly the same as those on the ground.
Because of the sudden reaction of this thing, Zhenhong was so scared that she let go and retreated aside, and we immediately became alert. However, what surprised us was that after Zhenhong put down the curtain, the thing stopped moving again.
"Is this a seal?" Jin Qin asked looking at the curtain.
Christina shook her head and said, "This is not the European magic system, I can't understand the above!"
Jinzi himself immediately said: "This is not something from our Taoist people!"
"No matter what it is, it must have a seal or something." I said.
Zhenhong asked me: "Do you want to lift the curtain and wait a little longer to see what changes will happen in the end?"
Jinzi immediately objected: "You have taught me before, it's better not to study these irrelevant things."
Christina shook her head and said, "It's different. There are so many things. If we suddenly move all of them halfway through the road!"
I understand what Christina said makes sense. I planned to ignore these things before because these things had no intention of moving at all, so I planned to take the risk to walk over first. But now I have found that these things are not moving, but they have no thoughts to drive them to move, so they have not moved. This is completely different from before. If these corpses were duds one by one, then now they have changed from duds to intact bombs. The difference is that they are not activated, not that they cannot explode at all.
Of course, I hope this unstable factor can be eliminated, so I finally weighed it and decided to check it out.
After Xiang Zhenhong nodded and signaled, I locked the guy with Eternity again. Then Zhenhong carefully took out the sword that rarely used to replace his hand and picked up the curtain in front of the thing. As for the gold coins and Christina, of course, she hid far away and prepared her spell to deal with the zombie riots that could occur at any time.
Sure enough, as before, as soon as the curtain was opened, the thing immediately showed signs of movement. First, the posture that seemed to be standing at the center suddenly softened. It seemed as if the body was relaxing. Then the guy's mouth opened again and made a silent shout. However, although he could not hear the sound, he could see a large amount of white mist coming out of the guy's mouth, but as soon as he left his mouth, he immediately fell to the ground and did not fly forward.
After the curtain in front of the thing was opened, it kept spraying the white mist with its mouth open. We soon discovered that the main factor of this thing is not the curtain, but the white mist in its mouth. The effect of the curtain is more like a plug, which seals the white mist in the body of the corpse. As long as the curtain is opened, the thing will start to spit out the white mist. I guess when the white mist is all spitted out, or the concentration drops to a certain level, the thing will probably move by itself. However, despite such speculation, we still plan to let the thing move first and then talk about it. At least we can know how powerful the fighting power of these things will be after they move. If we are attacked, we will be prepared.
The facts were a little different from what we imagined. After spitting out all the white mist in his mouth, the mouth closed, and then the eyes that had been closed were opened. When the red eyes that looked like two light bulbs lighted up, we all thought that the thing was about to start attacking, but what surprised us was that the thing just opened his eyes and stood there motionlessly without any reaction. Even if we opened the curtain in front of him first, the mist in his body seemed to have completely shined, and it was not spraying the white mist out, but he didn't move, and still stood there as if a normal person was in a daze.
"Damn, even if it's an attack, you can at least give me a reaction!" Zhenhong said helplessly at the wooden stake-like thing in front of her.
"Isn't it a good thing not to move?" Jinzi said, "Do you want all these zombie-like things to jump up and attack us?"
"It would be simple to get up all of them. The key is that this kind of appearance is very uneasy!" Zhenhong said.
In fact, I feel the same way. If the other party really attacks, it won’t be fine. The key is that he can move, but he just doesn’t respond. This makes people feel that the road ahead is a big pit. As long as you walk forward, you will definitely be killed by the evil spirit.
Christina looked at the zombie-like guy next to her and said, "Actually, I think these things may be just because I didn't hear the order."
"Ah?" I looked at Christina in confusion, and then thought about it myself, it seemed to make sense.
Zhenhong didn't think much about Christina's words, but said jokingly: "Are these things remotely controlled?"
Christina also joked: "Maybe it's voice-controlled."
Zhenhong then joked and said to the zombie-like thing: "I'll try it. Hello, you, raise your hand."
Swish. Just after Zhenhong jokingly said such a command, the thing's hands suddenly stretched forward straight, exactly the same as the zombies in ancient China's zombies. Because this guy's sudden movement scared us almost all instinctively jumped a few meters away, and then looked at the thing with caution, but found that it was just holding hands flat and not having the next move.
"Damn, it's really voice-controlled!" Zhenhong finally reacted. The action of this thing was obviously a response to Zhenhong's order just now. In other words, this thing really responded to Zhenhong's verbal orders.
At this time, Jin Coin suddenly said: "If this thing can be controlled by us, isn't it actually a reward?"
I have to say that gold coins are indeed talented in making benefits. As she said, if these things can be commanded, they can also be considered a kind of combat power. Although we don’t know the specific combat power of this thing, according to energy sensing, it doesn’t seem too bad, at least not weaker than the demon soldiers who were killed by Christina just now. Besides, these things are all for nothing anyway, so don’t be careless.
After understanding the benefits of these things, we immediately became excited. Of course, we first need to test whether these things can be commanded.
Purposeful tests. Of course, the effect is obvious. We soon discovered that this thing is really a treasure. First of all, this thing does not have the shortcomings we are most worried about - betrayal.
At first we were worried that since this thing was voice-controlled, would they still listen to the enemy after they encountered it. If that was the case, then these things would be invalid. Because if the orders on both sides were opposite, these things would most likely lose their ability to move, and they could not be used as combat power anyway. However, after actual testing, we found that this thing was not something that everyone could listen to, but was like a newborn little thing, and he would only listen to that person at first sight.
The first thing the zombie saw after he opened his eyes after spitting out the white smoke was Zhenhong, so he only listened to Zhenhong's orders, and we then activated several zombies one after another. It proved that only the people who saw them at first could order them, and others' words were useless at all.
In addition to testing that this thing can only be commanded by specific personnel, we also quickly discovered that the power of these things is comparable to ours. Of course, this is just a simple force, not a combat power. These guys seem to be a type of zombie. Although they have never seen this series before, many of their characteristics are in line with the characteristics of zombies. For example, they have infinite power and invulnerable swords and guns. Of course, they also have very low agility.
The power attributes of these guys are basically the same as mine, a little smaller than real red, but much larger than gold coins and Christina. Their physical defense is quite good. Although they felt very soft when they had no commands before, actual tests found that ordinary weapons can make a sound of hitting metal blocks when hit, and the hardness is quite amazing. However, it may be because of the hardness that these guys are not very fast. Although the attack speed is not slow, the movement speed is more problematic. Fortunately, these guys' way of action is neither like Eastern zombies jumping around, nor like Western zombies with arthritis, but rather like normal people walking. The only problem is that these guys don't run. If you order them to run, they will move in a race-like way. Although it is indeed a little faster than the normal mode, it is really only a little bit.
Although we are not satisfied with the movement speed of these guys, we are just free cannon fodder, so we don’t care much about it.
After roughly testing the basic attributes of these guys, we began to study the sarcophagus lying in the middle of the aisle. There is no reason that the zombies beside the wall can be used as combat power, but the ones in the middle cannot. So we guess there must be zombies here, but it is probably different from those standing on the wall. After all, the treatment is obviously different. However, the sarcophagus lying on the ground is completely covered by white mist, so we don’t know what the things inside look like. However, we didn’t dare to move because we were worried about being attacked before, and now we are not afraid. We directly let the controlled zombies help to fish out the things inside, and then we saw the true appearance of the owners in the coffin.
Sure enough, these are also zombies, but they are indeed very different from the ones we made from the wall, because... the lying sarcophagus are all beautiful zombies. Not only are the clothes on their bodies obviously different from the zombies around them, but the energy fluctuations on their bodies are very different.
Chapter completed!
