Returning to the End of the World

Chapter 21: Hanging Coffins

Views:

"Mingyue, how is this woman's ability?" Shen Chi lowered his voice and asked, after all, he seemed to be on the same side as Mingyue

Mingyue said disdainfully: "This woman has no skills, but there is something on her that little ghosts are more afraid of." He sniffed it with his nose, "It seems to be an ancient sword."

… are you a dog nose? Do you know what it is just by smelling it? !

"Is that group of hanging coffins really in trouble?" Ji Jia couldn't help but ask.

Mingyue comforted her, "Don't be afraid! Why should I be afraid if I'm here? Then all my little ghosts will be taken away! Oh, by the way, Uncle Shen, those three foreigners are much more capable than that woman. If it wasn't for my little ghosts Concentrate your breath, they will probably find out."

"These three should be Russians." The Orthodox Church is one of the main denominations of Christianity. The three major denominations of Christianity stand side by side with Catholicism and Protestantism. More than 60% of the Russians believe in the Orthodox Church. The crucified cross, which is often rubbed at a glance, has a mysterious sense of holiness in the not-so-glossy cross.

Including the nine teams plus Cheng Haiyi, Xiang Jing and the three Russians, there were hundreds of them in their party. Shen Chi knew that the destination was in the mountain city of Chongqing, but according to Xiang Jing's words, did they have to pass by? Three Gorges

Each team prepared their own bus, Xiang Jing and the other five were commercial vehicles, and only Shen Chi and the other four got into Xiaoyun's stomach under everyone's amazed eyes.

No matter how fast their cars are driving, the clouded leopard puppets following behind will never be in a hurry or slow to follow, not only will not fall behind, but will show a different kind of leisure.

Qi Rongcui and his team had a total of nine people. Besides her, there was also the girl Xiaoli who was not a few years older than Mingyue. She was a second-level shapeshifter who could transform into a beautiful white falcon. The falcon is twice as big and has quite strong attack power. At this time, they were lying on the glass behind the passenger car and looking at the naive clouded leopard puppet outside.

"It's so cute..." Xiaoli sighed.

Qi Rongcui nodded, "Those four people seem very mysterious."

A middle-aged man who was dozing off with his feet up smiled, "Don't look cute, I look at the eyes on the puppet car as if they were real."

"What really?" Xiaoli looked over curiously.

"You don't think there are such big plastic fake eyes, do you?" The bearded man on the other side yawned, "It must have been picked off from some mutant animal."

Xiaoli fell silent immediately, thinking of something, and suddenly looked at the clouded leopard behind.

Those eyes were big and bright, full of aura, as if they were alive.

"It's better for us to stay away from those big ones and three small ones." The half-drowsy middle-aged man muttered.

Qi Rongcui looked to the left and then to the right in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

"Sister Qi, maybe you didn't pay attention when you came late." Xiaoli said with difficulty, "The little girl who can control the clouded leopard puppet has three puppets beside her."

"So what?"

"Three puppets looking into those eyes—"

Qi Rongcui's eyes widened, "You mean?"

Xiaoli's face turned pale, "It looks like human eyes."

For a moment, everyone in the two passenger cars fell silent.

It's not just them, there are always one or two smart people in the other teams, who can see some clues from Xiaoyun's eyes, contacting the three humanoid puppets with a little clicking sound beside the little girl before, I thought of the deeply curved red lip line of the puppet wearing a black European-style cake skirt, and thought of the bright black eyes of the three puppets, each of which was round and big. When I didn’t know it, it might look so cute, but So flexible and deep, it doesn't look like fake plastic eyes, and I feel a little creepy at once.

The two youngest children, one is a wood-type power user, and the other is a puppet master who makes everyone feel chilly. What about the older child and the only adult among them

As a result, everyone thought that the team with only four people was scary, and no one dared to underestimate the team of four people whose average age was surprisingly young.

It takes almost 24 hours to travel by car from Beijing to Chongqing even in peaceful times. After all, the distance of 1,700 to 800 kilometers is even slower in the last days. Shen Chi and the others traveled all the way from the southeast coast to Beijing. In the first half of the year, almost all the expressways were able to pass through, but now in the fourth year, there is no such luck. Many bridges and expressways have been damaged. There is no maintenance and repair in peacetime, and once they are damaged, they will be destroyed very quickly. After the recession, the destruction is partly man-made and partly the good deeds of evolutionary animals and plants, and many groups focus on high-speed looting, so it is not safe for many people to go north to take the high-speed.

The large team of ten cars plus a puppet clouded leopard knows that anyone with eyes can’t touch it, so the road is very peaceful. Each team brings their own dry food. From their attitudes, it can be seen that the gap is not shallow, and they take a break in the middle There was no communication for a long time, but Shen Chi knew that they were all used to collaboration, and only teams with certain professional ethics would be recruited, at least not the type that would back down during a battle, so that was enough.

In the morning of the next day, Cheng Haiyi greeted everyone, "We will change the ferry here."

"Why, isn't the road ahead difficult?" Qi Rongcui asked strangely.

Xiang Jing answered her, "Yes, the front is impassable. The whole of Chongqing has become a nest of zombies. High speeds have been cut off, which is more dangerous than waterways."

Shen Chi and the others came out of the small clouds and looked at the ferry boat parked at the pier. It seemed that they were well prepared for this operation. This kind of ferry is much easier to drive than a passenger ship, and the equipment is simple. Of course, the speed is not fast enough, but in the last days, do you still expect something as good as a luxury cruise ship? It would be nice to have a ferry like this.

The ferry can directly drive the car up, saving everyone the trouble of moving things.

"Where is our destination?"

"White Emperor City."

It is the Baidi City of "Chaoci Baidi Colorful Clouds". The original Baidi City was surrounded by water on three sides, with mountains on one side, a lonely mountain standing alone, and a gloomy atmosphere. And since the completion of the Three Gorges Project, the water level has risen, and Baidi City has become a natural island surrounded by water. After it became the center of the zombie lair, the zombies would not know water, but the waterway became the best route to go deep.

As the boat swayed, Mingyue loosened her neckline.

In this extremely cold weather, the water is extremely windy and turbulent, and because it is a ferry, the roar of the water waves can be heard endlessly.

Ji Jia noticed Mingyue's strangeness, "What's wrong?"

Mingyue frowned, "I don't know why, I feel very uncomfortable."

"Aren't you seasick?" Ji Jia said seriously.

Mingyue shook her head, "I won't get seasick."

Ji Jia showed a look of disbelief, and began to rummage through the sundries box to see if there were any unorthodox things like seasickness medicine among their medicines.

While Shen Chi was staring at the electronic theodolite intently, Shen Liumu squatted beside him, "Dad, what's wrong?"

This electronic theodolite was obtained by Shen Chi by accident. It is a good tool for judging his own position, especially in places where he can't tell the direction. Looking at the numbers on the screen, he felt a little uncomfortable , if his memory is correct, it seems that this number is not very auspicious.

A book he read a long time ago told him that the Bermuda Triangle, the Egyptian pyramids, the Mayan ruins, the Mariana Trench, Shennongjia, etc., were all located at 30 degrees north latitude. This number often means unsolved mysteries. Where they are now, It is already near thirty degrees north latitude!

Shen Chi was about to answer Shen Liumu when he heard a few exclamations from outside.

When they got out of Xiaoyun, they were completely stunned for a moment.

The rushing water, the wind and the waves are rolling, and it is facing a cliff, which is not only very steep, but also barren of grass. The most frightening thing is that there are rock coffins hanging on the cliff. Below is the surging river, which looks spectacular. These rock coffins are either in groups of three or five holes, or are connected together. The groups of rock coffins are like an extended historical picture scroll, all of which contain a chilling mystery.

Even Shen Chi, who thought he was well-informed, was stunned for a moment. This scene reminded him of the hanging coffin in Qutang Gorge in the game. The place should be in Qutang Gorge

Mingyue's face turned a little pale, Ji Jia finally believed that he was not seasick, she pointed to the hanging coffins, "Isn't it because of you?"

Shen Chi also noticed something was wrong with Mingyue, and couldn't help being more vigilant, "Mingyue, there's nothing wrong with it, right?"

"I don't know!" Mingyue's lips were so pale that there was almost no blood, "After the end of the world, many things that Master told me about zombies are no longer counted. He said that zombies can't come out in the daytime at all. It's a zombie, so I thought he was just lying to me about a lot of other things."

He has always called zombies zombies, and in his heart, those zombies that feed on human flesh and blood all over the street are zombies.

"I'm born with strong inspiration. Master only taught me Taoism back then. I only know that this place makes me very uncomfortable." Mingyue bit her lip and said.

These supernatural beings who hunt zombies all year round are undoubtedly very courageous. Seeing such a group of hanging coffins, not only few people are afraid, but stand in groups of three or four standing on the ferry and pointing at the group of hanging coffins. Shen Chi is sensitive They found that Cheng Haiyi, Xiang Jing and the three Russians were standing on the side facing the cliff with tense expressions.

"Ah—" When the screams sounded, most people hadn't reacted yet!

"Be careful!" Cheng Haiyi yelled, he had already turned into a fierce tiger, and the roar of the tiger shook the sky!

Although there is not much domineering aura of a tiger in his personality, he is indeed a third-order shapeshifter.

Shen Chi has already seen something that hurt people, so it seems that it should also be a zombie

But the appearance is completely different from that of zombies, more like mummies. Most of China is cremated now. Except for rural areas, there are very few zombies crawling out of cemeteries. What Shen Chi sees most is the disgusting bloody zombies in the city, almost I have never seen such a completely mummified corpse like this. It is only the height of a child, and its shriveled body is wrapped in an almost completely rotten shroud. smell.

The entire arm of a big man had been ripped off, dripping with blood. Everyone looked closely, and it was the big man who Mingyue asserted that there was a "bloody disaster".

There is no doubt that this ancient mummy crawled out of those hanging coffins, but its morality is much higher than that of ordinary zombies. Shen Chi can't even tell what level of zombie it is, but he can see it There was a strong black death aura on his body, and the big man was a power-type supernatural being, and he wouldn't have died on the spot after being ripped off with one arm, but the black death aura spread to his face in an instant, within ten minutes. He was out of breath for a few seconds.

Everyone was terrified!

"哗啦啦" There was a sound of the car window being broken, accompanied by a woman's scream, a snow-white falcon flew into the sky, circled twice and then landed on Qi Rongcui's shoulder. It was obviously in the form of an animal, but still See how frightened she is.

"Sister Qi, Wang Chun was sucked dry by that mummy!"

The three Russians had already knelt down on the bow of the ferry, holding the cross and muttering something, when a holy light curtain suddenly spread from them.

"Li Cheng! Speed up!" Cheng Haiyi changed back into a human form and shouted loudly at the young man who was sailing.

Because the incident happened suddenly, maybe Cheng Haiyi had a little fluke mentality in the first place, and didn't let everyone prepare in advance, thinking that maybe he could pass by quietly, but he didn't expect these weird zombies to be so fast!

"Boom!" A violent flame erupted from Qi Rongcui's palm, and a huge fireball was thrown directly at the child-like mummy.

How did he know that the mummy flew up all of a sudden!

Fly up in full view!

Bao Xiaomei, who was standing at the bow of the boat, stomped her feet, and she rose into the air like a light swallow. Ever since she became a second-level wind power user, she has been able to fly in the air for a while, stretching out a wind blade towards that place. The mummy in mid-air chops, there is fire and wind, the bloody arm in its mouth landed on the boat with a "boom", and the wind blade scraped over the torn shroud on its body, bringing out a piece of creepy white hair.

"Bang!" Ke Tao, whose whole body was metalized, slammed into another mummy frozen by Tan Yanya. The black death air really had no effect on the natural supernatural power user.

"Xiao Hei!" Ji Jia's crisp voice sounded.

The gothic-style puppet doll took off the crude wooden violin on its back with stiff hands and feet.

"Yeah—" The sound of the strings was difficult, and it spread throughout the entire ferry, and almost everyone couldn't help but cover their ears.

"Boom boom boom!" Several mummies fell directly onto the ferry from mid-air!

The sound of this violin is extremely unpleasant, but every time it sounds, the movements of those mummies have to pause. The supernatural beings who could hardly catch them because they were too fast resisted the ear-stinging sound, and turned to these violins. Dry, fetid and white-haired attacked.

Shen Liumu spread out his hands. In a place without land, it is obviously disadvantageous for wood-type supernatural beings, but when he raised his hand, the flowers and leaves scattered, and a faint fragrance filled the air, which immediately lifted people's spirits. But at this moment, a cluster of blood vines in his palm exploded and swelled up, quickly rolling towards a mummy.

What makes people palpitate is that the mummy that can suck people dry in an instant is tightly wrapped by the extraordinarily ferocious dark red vines, and then - suck, dry, ...
