It was night and the door of the small mud house was half open.
Zhou Ze deliberately arranged the girl to sit on the doorstep. As for Old Man Cui, Xu Qinglang tied him up with a rope, blocked his mouth, and made him sit on a small bench in the living room.
Just as Old Man Cui himself said, he would rather all the villagers be killed by zombies than let his "granddaughter" leave him.
This is human nature.
There is nothing wrong with making such a choice and saying such words. It is normal.
Therefore,
It was normal and beyond reproach that Xu Qinglang let the little girl stand outside the house as bait in order to protect the village where he was born.
Zhou Ze planned to send the girl to hell after the matter was over and let her reincarnate. It was not wrong. After all, birth, aging, sickness and death were the natural laws. The little girl was already dead, so going to hell to get another chance to reincarnate was the right way. Staying in the world would sooner or later cause problems.
Old man Cui, you don’t care about the lives of the whole village, so why should Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang care about his opinion
Most importantly,
This old man has such a bad temper that it's really annoying. Anyway, Boss Zhou has no urge to do anything for him. Everyone should just do their job impartially. There's no need to talk about personal connections, which is too much trouble.
Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang were both standing behind the door, leaning against the door frame.
"Will you come?"
"It depends on whether this old guy is hiding anything else." Zhou Ze glanced at Old Man Cui who was tied up like a "dumpling".
"What else is he hiding?"
"A person who has been able to see ghosts since birth has lived to this day. Is it possible that his life is so peaceful?"
"Too."
By late at night, Xu Qinglang was a little tired and sat on the ground leaning against the wall. Zhou Ze was fine, smoking one cigarette after another. He didn't need coffee or anything to fight his sleepiness. Anyway, he couldn't sleep without a freezer or Bai Yingying.
However, waiting like this is quite boring.
Old man Cui was tired from all the work and fell asleep first. The little girl continued to sit on the doorstep obediently, looking around and turning back to look at her grandfather from time to time.
Zhou Ze felt a little guilty for being so cruel as to use a little girl as bait, but he could not catch the wolf without sacrificing the child, and the girl was a dead fetus, so there was no need to treat her as a pure child.
“Click… Click…”
There was a sound coming from the vegetable field in the distance.
Zhou Ze straightened up immediately, and Xu Qinglang, who was a little sleepy, also stood up immediately.
The girl hugged her shoulders with both hands. She felt the cold and the fear at the same time.
“Click… Click…”
The sound is getting closer.
Zhou Ze looked out through the crack in the door, but he could only hear the sound and had not seen the jumping figure.
After waiting for about ten more minutes, the voice was still lingering nearby, hiding itself in the darkness, but it did not show up.
"Zombies also have intelligence?"
Xu Qinglang exclaimed.
“… …” Zhou Ze.
But this is not the time to quarrel. The zombie may really have sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to come closer for the time being.
The girl turned her head, her fear growing stronger and stronger, she subconsciously wanted to call grandpa, but Zhou Ze who was standing behind her made a "hush" gesture to her, the girl held back, but her eyes turned red.
Zhou Ze stretched out his palm at this time, nails grew on it, and layers of black mist began to surround him. Zhou Ze squatted down and stabbed his nails into the ground.
The black fog began to spread and pointed in one direction!
“There!”
The next moment,
Zhou Ze rushed out of the threshold.
Since that thing isn't coming over, then he might as well take the initiative to attack. It's just a zombie, so Boss Zhou really doesn't think there's anything to be afraid of.
If I had just met Bai Yingying for the first time,
Bai Yingying's aura is the same as that of Wu Zetian, but in the end, she was still made to cry by herself, wasn't she
In front of him was a vegetable field blocked by a simple fence. When Zhou Ze rushed over, a figure also "jumped" over on his own initiative.
It was indeed a jump. The other person was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts. When he jumped out, he broke all the surrounding fences.
"Bang!"
Zhou Ze's body collided with the opponent's, and he felt a hardness like that of steel plate from the opponent's body. Moreover, the opponent's momentum did not decrease, with a terrifying determination.
Zhou Ze's nails also pierced into the opponent's chest.
In front of the nails,
No matter how hard the chest is, it will become soft as silk.
"Baji!"
It feels like inserting your fingers into a cracked watermelon: greasy, crispy, and thick.
The other person's body trembled, and then twisted up and curled up on the ground, like a leech sprinkled with salt.
"how's it going?"
Xu Qinglang also ran over.
"Solved."
Zhou Ze squatted down beside the man. The man had gradually stopped twitching and black mist began to rise from his body.
Taking out his cell phone and taking a picture of the man's face, Zhou Ze discovered that he had seen this man during the day. He was one of the villagers who went into the water to rescue the woman who fell into the water.
How could it be him
At this time, the man had no breath, his body began to soften, and black pus and blood began to overflow from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
Being directly pierced by Zhou Ze's nails was equivalent to disrupting his foundation. Even Bai Yingying could not bear being scratched by Zhou Ze's nails, let alone this guy who was obviously not comparable to Bai Yingying.
"I know this guy." Xu Qinglang also took out his phone and took a photo. "He's Aunt Xu's third son, named..."
"I know him, too."
Zhou Ze interrupted Xu Qinglang and turned the man's neck over.
There were two clear teeth marks on the left side of the opponent's neck.
Zhou Ze's fingers rubbed the teeth marks, and then his eyes suddenly focused:
"No, this is the stand-in who was bitten by a zombie and turned into a zombie!"
The next moment,
Zhou Ze immediately stood up and rushed back to the small mud house. The girl who was originally sitting on the doorstep had disappeared.
When Zhou Ze rushed into the house, Old Man Cui, who had been tied up like a dumpling by Xu Qinglang, was gone. Only a circle of rope and a bench were left in his place.
I fell into the trap.
I actually fell into the trap.
When Xu Qinglang ran back and saw the empty room, he frowned.
"How is this possible..."
Xu Qinglang found it a little unbelievable.
This zombie is not Zhou Ze, nor is it Bai Yingying who has been nurtured by Madam Bai for two hundred years.
But they actually played the trick of "luring the tiger away from the mountain"
"This old man was also eaten by zombies?" Xu Qinglang said to himself.
"wrong."
Zhou Ze squatted down and picked up the rope scattered on the ground.
"The broken part of the rope was caused by repeated cutting. It was not broken by the zombie's nails. The old man broke free by himself."
Zhou Ze stood up and looked outside.
"We were just in the vegetable garden in front. If the old man ran out of the house, we would have known about it. And when the old man knew that there was a zombie outside glaring at him, he would not be stupid enough to rush out and try to escape. At least in the house, we can guarantee the safety of him and his granddaughter."
Hearing this, Xu Qinglang first walked to the kitchen to take a look, then walked to the bedroom, and pointed at the bed and shouted:
"There's a tunnel underneath!"
Zhou Ze stood up and walked over. Sure enough, the bed was lifted up and there was actually a tunnel underneath.
An old widower, who is accompanied only by his ghost granddaughter and has very poor popularity in the village, why would he dig a tunnel
Could it be that when Old Man Cui was young, he was fascinated by the movie "Tunnel Warfare" and got one for his own home when he had nothing to do
"Go deal with the body first, hide it in the house, and I'll follow through the tunnel. Be careful."
Zhou Ze instructed Xu Qinglang.
Xu Qinglang nodded. The zombie had just been killed by Zhou Ze, but if the body was left outside like this, it would inevitably cause a big commotion when villagers passed by at dawn. Someone really needed to deal with it first.
After Xu Qinglang left, Zhou Ze jumped into the tunnel alone. The tunnel was not spacious, and most of the areas required one to bend over or even crawl to get through.
Moreover, the tunnel is really not short.
In his heart, Zhou Ze began to admire the old bachelor's ability to work hard at night. While others were plowing the fields and sowing seeds, he was digging holes here.
About four minutes later, the tunnel began to move upwards, and Zhou Ze also found friction marks indicating that someone had just passed through here. The door panel above was also open, and Zhou Ze walked out easily.
After coming in,
Zhou Ze unexpectedly discovered that this was also an old tiled house, very dilapidated, and it seemed that not many people would come here often.
There are many houses like this in rural areas. In the past, they were generally used by the elderly. After the elderly passed away, the younger generation had already moved into the newly built buildings. These old houses are either used as kitchens or as places to store sundries.
Sure enough, when Zhou Ze turned a corner and walked into the hall, he saw an altar with two unlit lamps and cobwebs hanging on it. There was an ash burner in the middle of the lamps, and behind it was a black-and-white photo of an old lady.
The old lady smiled happily, showing her white teeth.
Old man Cui’s tunnel leads here. Could it be that this old lady was Old man Cui’s mistress when he was alive
Maybe the old lady was widowed a long time ago, but she has children, so it is not convenient for her to be with Old Man Cui. In rural areas, it is still very difficult to find a partner for widowed parents. The key is that the children feel that they cannot save face.
But Old Man Cui's spirit of digging a tunnel to meet secretly is really touching.
But things are different,
The old lady left first.
It is estimated that Old Man Cui has not used this tunnel for a long time. This time, he used it purely as a means of escape.
"hehe."
Zhou Ze shook his head and walked through the hall. He now wanted to find Old Man Cui as soon as possible, because he knew that the intelligent zombie was also looking for them.
and,
The zombie was just stealing at first.
The killing has begun now!
What Zhou Ze didn't see was,
When he had passed through the hall,
On the platform covered with spider webs,
The old lady who was originally smiling in the black and white photo,
Smile,
It's getting more prosperous.
