No sound could be heard under the cellar, the boy who was a head shorter than him had a calm expression, and the power passed down the barrel to his hand.
Dong Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly relaxed with relief, only to realize how much pain his whole body is now.
The wound, which had been wrapped with bandages before, had opened again during the fight and escape from the zombies, oozing blood.
Dong Zheng didn't care about dealing with himself, he nodded slightly to Cui Zuojing who came in time, said "thank you", and immediately looked at Linhai who was lying on the side.
The boy was still lying on his back in that position, and he made a terrifying sound like a broken bellows during his labored breathing. There was a bruise of horrible fingerprints on his neck, swollen in a circle, exactly the same as the body of the ranger in the house.
"How do you feel?" Dong Zheng squatted down beside him and asked in a deep voice. Lin Hai couldn't answer, his vocal cords and trachea were damaged, so he could only wink at Dong Zheng with difficulty, his eyes couldn't stop shedding physiological tears because of the pain, which was miserable.
How to do
Seeing his brother suffer like this, Dong Zheng is naturally uncomfortable. He didn't have professional medical knowledge, so he didn't dare to move Linhai easily, but it was not an option to let him lie on the ground like this.
And Cui Zuojing took the opportunity to rummage on Dong Linhai, and successfully took out a box of medicines from the pocket of the boy's trousers-according to the parameter settings of the primary box, it is easy to brush out supplies such as medicines in the plot point.
He unpacked it, took out a grain, and stuffed it into the mouth of Linhai.
Dong Zheng didn't have time to stop him, so he could only say, "He can't swallow."
"It's fine, just take it." Cui Zuojing said and took out another one and handed it to Dong Zheng, "You eat it too, this injury makes my whole body hurt."
With the fetters of the blood contract, Dong Zheng's pain was naturally divided into half of Cui Zuojing. Although he has not been injured since he entered here, thanks to Dong Zheng, Cui Zuojing's clean white shirt has been stained with blood.
his own blood.
Dong Zheng took the capsule and the medicine box in Cui Zuojing's hand and read the instructions.
Cui Zuojing made an unhappy cut.
However, it is indeed a good character to have the most basic vigilance at all times, at least not like most newcomers who die in a box for some inexplicable reason.
There are only two very perfunctory words on the manual, "eat me."
Dong Zheng then no longer hesitated, and directly swallowed the medicine.
While waiting for the drug to take effect, he took out the bullet box from Linhai, loaded two shotguns, and asked, "Did that thing come after you?"
Cui Zuojing knew that he was referring to Henry, and the young man stood aside with his hands in his trouser pockets, kicking the weeds with his toes in a bored manner, and said, "I shouldn't come over for a while, what did you take to keep it chasing you? ?"
"Not long after we entered here, our team hadn't dispersed. We saw an unfilled coffin in the cemetery. There was a reminder that the gold beads on it were key items, so everyone took them."
Dong Zheng showed Cui Zuojing two marble-sized gold beads from his coat pocket, "Then it climbed out of the coffin and started chasing us, probably because I had two in my hand, and it aimed at it. It's relatively big, Linhai and I escaped from its hands once, but we were seriously injured, so Linhai had to try to summon with a prisoner card, to see if we could save me... I'm sorry."
"Do you know what a blood contract is?" Cui Zuojing asked back. He was really annoying. After staying in the Pure White Realm for more than three years, he had only seen two pilgrims sign a blood contract when they were desperate.
Dong Zheng shook his head: "After getting the prisoner card in the novice box, the clown only mentioned the blood deed and the prisoner can share the owner's injury, and it can save lives at critical moments, and we don't know the rest."
have to.
Cui Zuojing began to have a headache. He took a deep breath and explained patiently: "The blood contract is a form of contract that can be signed at any time regardless of the prisoner's wishes. It does allow the prisoner to help share the injury, but it is good for the person who signed the blood contract. , you can only have one prisoner in your life.
"The master has three opportunities to force the prisoner of the blood contract, but when using the order, he also needs to pay a certain price."
"A certain price?"
"For example, if you use a coercive order for me to kill someone, you may lose an arm accordingly, depending on the strength of the order."
Dong Zheng was silent, it was the first time he knew about these things. He could only have one prisoner in his life. This restriction was somewhat unexpected, but it wasn't too surprising. The blood contract could have such a heaven-defying effect of sharing injuries, so naturally it was impossible to have unlimited restrictions.
Cui Zuojing asked again, "How did you get the prisoner card?"
The clown said that the black and gold cards that can summon him at present should be in the hands of senior pilgrims.
"The last box of the novice level gave a gift. Later, someone who was also a novice said that he would use his own card to exchange it with me, so I changed it."
Cui Zuojing's expression froze, and he immediately asked, "What kind of person?"
Dong Zheng thought for a while, his brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and a blank space appeared on his face for a few seconds: "... I forgot?"
He tried hard to recall what happened at that time, but he couldn't remember anything. He didn't even know why he agreed to the exchange in the first place.
"Don't think about it if you can't remember it. Someone used memory erase on you, and he doesn't want you to remember it." Cui Zuojing's heart has completely sunk, and his return this time may not be what he thought at all.
Someone is moving.
After a few seconds, Dong Zheng hissed softly, probably because the medicine worked. The wound on his body kept itching, and he could clearly feel that the flesh was gradually healing.
He immediately lowered his head to look at Linhai, the boy's bloodshot and flushed face didn't look so bad, the sound of breathing became much normal, and the finger marks on his neck faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just ten seconds, Dong Linhai was able to speak, although his voice was still abnormally hoarse:
"Am I not dead?"
Cui Zuojing: "I'm sorry, don't you think it's a pity that you didn't die?"
"I won't die." Dong Zheng pulled Dong Linhai up, put his arm against his shoulder, and led Linhai, who was still dizzy, into the room.
The young man couldn't use his legs because of the severe fright, and his whole body was almost hung on his brother.
The thick fog filled the air, and the ominous cries of the crows on the trees in the distance were really annoying. Cui Zuojing frowned irritably. A stone was thrown from his hand and disappeared into the dark forest in a blink of an eye.
The world is quiet.
Cui Zuojing glanced at the tightly closed cellar again, followed behind the brothers, the wounds caused by the blood contract had disappeared, and his irritable mood had finally improved since he returned here.
But only some.
Dong Zheng took off all the bandages on his body and was getting water for Dong Linhai to drink. The tall and strong boy was placed on a chair, and he touched his completely swollen neck with lingering fears, and the terrifying suffocation still remained in his mind.
Dormant under the huge shadow, he looked at Dong Zheng's figure and said, "Brother, I left the lamp below."
"It's okay." Dong Zheng brought him water. There was still half of the water in the kettle on the stove. I didn't know how long it had been in it, but it looked clear and had no odor.
Cui Zuojing leaned against the door and looked coldly at this scene of brothers and sisters, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you two brothers?"
The two looked at him in unison. Dong Linhai opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, but Dong Zheng took a step ahead of him and said, "It's a real brother."
Lin Hai swallowed the "half-sister" who was about to escape, and shut his mouth obediently.
-Brother is guarding against this mustard prisoner
"It doesn't look alike." How could Cui Zuojing not see that Dong Zheng didn't really want to talk to him about such a private topic. People didn't want to say that he didn't need to force him. Anyway, he would know sooner or later. .
His superfluous curiosity has been exhausted in the last trip to the pure white world. In this world, the less people know, the more likely they are to live in confusion.
A group of people settled down for the time being and took a break. Dong Linhai was resting and regaining his soul, and from time to time he touched his neck in disbelief.
Cui Zuojing wandered aimlessly in the hut, while Dong Zheng began to count their current supplies.
At present, they have a shotgun that Dong Linhai found in the cellar. There are a total of four bullets in the two boxes. After two pills were eaten by them, one pill remained. According to the effect, it was definitely used for life-saving. hole cards.
There are also two golden balls that Dong Zheng deducted from the coffin, which are known to be plot props to be used later. The only weapon dagger in hand is now inserted into the mouth of the zombie at the mouth of the cellar, and the lantern has also fallen.
However, Dong Zheng found a flashlight in the forest ranger's bedroom. Although the light is not very bright, it looks like the battery needs to be used, but at least it can illuminate.
After all this, he read the ranger's notes again, pondering the possible clues there.
The death method of the ranger has been clear, and the monster that came out of the cellar strangled him to death, but the source of the blood is still unknown.
The cellar seemed to have held something, and then the thing tore off the railing and escaped. Since the cellar suddenly appeared in the yard one night, it should have nothing to do with the ranger.
Dong Zheng explained these speculations to Cui Zuojing and Dong Linhai, but Linhai was still stunned, "Oh", and asked, "And then?"
Dong Zheng: "The repeatedly mentioned southeast is probably a hint of the next direction. The pendant given by the bard to the ranger is probably also a key clue, but I didn't find it."
Cui Zuojing raised his chin in the direction of the ranger's body: "There's one more place that hasn't been searched."
Dong Zheng immediately understood and frowned: "You mean..."
Lin Hai looked at the two of them blankly, and then at the forest ranger: "Isn't the body already searched?"
"Who said the search is over." Cui Zuojing smiled at Dong Linhai, and the smile was not malicious no matter how he looked at it, "Do you know where the best place to hide things is on a person's body?"
Dong Linhai: …
Don't really want to know.
But it wasn't over yet. It seemed that Linhai's expression really made Cui Zuojing interesting. He pointed at the ranger with a smile and said, "Would you like to come and search? You have been hiding behind your brother for protection, don't you want to do it? Do you want to contribute?"
"I'll come." Dong Zheng said, then squatted down, wrapped the blood-stained bandages he had removed before, wrapped around his hands, unbuttoned the ranger's tattered shirt, took a deep breath, and was about to start.
"Let him do it." Cui Zuojing stood in front of the corpse and stopped Dong Zheng from attacking. He put his hands in his pockets, looked at Linhai, and said with a smile, "You're such an old man, you will only hide in others when you encounter something. Behind, unweaned children can't survive here."
The aggressive approach really worked, and he stood up with a squeak before he could speak Linhai. He was well-bred, and he was already over 1.8 meters before the age of 18, a head taller than Cui Zuojing.
Not to be outdone, the young man wrapped the bandage on Dong Zheng's hand around his own hand, and muttered, "I'll come when I'm here, and tell me, you're obviously younger than me, okay?"
Cui Zuojing reminded him "kindly": "But I won't hold back, I will save your lives."
"I won't hold back either." Dong Linhai squatted beside the corpse, saw the terrifying pinch marks on the neck of the ranger, recalled the experience a few minutes ago, and couldn't help itching his throat.
He coughed a few times, dawdled for a while, and finally made complete psychological preparations. He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand.
The forest ranger's body had been rotting for a long time, and the flesh would rot when touched. Dong Linhai couldn't help retching as soon as he touched the cold and sticky interior. He resisted the urge to escape and continued to probe inside. , touched something like a stomach.
Shredded Chicken Shredded Beef Shredded Leg of Lamb Shredded Braised Pig Feet…
Lin Hai used the ultimate self-hypnosis to himself. He turned his head and stared at his feet, and after messing around in the poor ranger's stomach for a long time, he finally touched a hard object.
"I found it!" Dong Linhai immediately pulled out his hand, slammed his things on the ground, and unbearably pulled off the bloody bandage on his hand, rubbed off the minced flesh from his arm on the wall, and stepped back several steps away from what he was digging. The disfigured corpse, after holding its breath for two seconds, bowed its head to the corner of the wall and vomited violently.
Dong Zheng has been watching silently from the side, the young man is right, in this place where he can't even protect himself, Linhai can't just rely on the protection of others, the sooner he grows up, the better for him.
That's why he didn't stop Cui Zuojing from stimulating Linhai.
Dong Zheng picked up the object on the ground and wiped off the blood on it with the clothes of the forest ranger. It was a small "soldier" in the shape of a chess thing, about the size of a pinky thumb and with a string, which also indicated that it was once a pendant.
"This should be the amulet, but it's not clear what it does. In order not to lose it or be taken away by others, the ranger swallowed it directly." He said and put away the thing.
On the other side, Dong Linhai was almost vomited, and he was rinsing his mouth with water, and his whole person looked sullen.
Dong Zheng: "This is not a good place. After a while, we are ready to go."
After resting for four or five minutes, Cui Zuojing, who was closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes.
Something is coming.
thump-thump-
This time, the two brothers also felt the tremor of the earth, and the neighing of the warhorse penetrated the night, as if some behemoth was walking like them. Every step was so heavy that a lot of dust fell from the roof.
"No, come again?" Lin Hai wailed.
Dong Zheng took the time to put the ranger's notepad into his pocket, waved his hand, and said in a low voice, "Go! Go over the wall and get out."
"You go first." Cui Zuojing said, he stared thoughtfully out of the window, two spots of scarlet were gradually approaching, "I'll clean it up and follow."
Dong Zheng nodded and said no more nonsense. The strength of this unexpectedly summoned prisoner no longer needs him to doubt, at least not now. The strength of "Arabidopsis" may even be above the zombie knight. will be held back.
They need to worry more about themselves.
The figures of the two brothers quickly disappeared in the courtyard at the back door, and a kerosene lamp went along the sea. Cui Zuojing went into the kitchen to get chopsticks, spoons and the only table knife, which was to arm himself.
"It's time to finish," he murmured, kicking the ranger's battered corpse lightly, pushing open the blood-stained door, and strolling out of the hut.
The author has something to say: Once again, there is freedom and equality between the two, and the blood contract is only a formality. There has never been coercion or superiority, and love is also free love.
