As the branch manager of the funeral home, Hayden Ao is not a pampered person.
Since entering the funeral home, Hayden Ao has spent time in training and fighting. Over ten years of combat experience made the branch manager of the funeral home not look back to see what was behind him, but moved forward. Leaping forward, at the same time grasping the handle of the gun with the palm of your hand.
Bang, bang, bang!
The pistol caught under the ribs did not aim at all, and it fired repeatedly.
The bullet pierced Hayden O's coat, and the gunfire flickered again and again.
The figure that appeared behind Hayden Au fell to the ground with the gunshots.
but…
The moment he fell to the ground, the figure struggled to get up again.
A gray and rotting face.
Eyeballs that have dried up and are nothing but pus.
And the body that ignored the bullet holes on the body and continued to stagger forward, telling Hayden Ao what he had encountered.
"Corpse!"
Hayden O narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and fired another shot.
boom!
The figure fell to the ground with the gunshots.
Most of his head was broken, and after two twitches, there was no movement.
Corpse puppets are not rare monsters.
In fact, in some old cemeteries, such low-level monsters can be seen everywhere, and as long as they are well prepared and overcome their inner fear, even ordinary people can kill them.
After all, the head of an ordinary corpse puppet is the key point, and it hates light and fears flames extremely.
However, the corpse puppet in front of him is different.
Not only does he not hate light, but he can sneak behind him silently.
There is only one possibility!
Ghoul!
A ghoul who can command a puppet!
Although the difference is only one word, the latter is a thousand times, ten thousand times more dangerous than the former.
To deal with corpse puppets, only one or two trained people are needed.
And to deal with a ghoul whose body is like steel, is poisonous all over, and can command corpse puppets at will
A fully armed team of a hundred people is not enough to see.
This is the premise of equipping gunpowder weapons.
In the age of demons, to deal with a ghoul, the number of people needed is several times that of the present.
Therefore, every time a ghoul appears, it will cause a lot of trouble, but in recorded history, there are not many ghouls appearing.
If corpse puppets can be seen everywhere in old cemeteries, then a harsh environment is necessary for the formation of corpse ghosts.
Or to put it more directly, under natural conditions, ghouls cannot form.
Because, the final step in forming a ghoul is...
Blood sacrifice!
The blood sacrifice was performed with the blood of a hundred people connected by the blood of the ghoul.
A family of priests, and a ghoul was born.
For the age of monsters with a relatively sparse population, being able to form such a family is considered a small force in itself, and they will more or less have a network of relationships.
Once something is wrong, the surroundings will react immediately.
As for modern times
The population is getting denser, but the emergence of technology and the existence of 'gods' make such things even more impossible.
Hayden Au, the funeral director, had never seen a ghoul either.
Even, without even thinking about it, it would be a ghoul.
call! call!
Hayden Ao exhaled angrily. He looked at the coffin in a mixture of shock and anger. He still held the gun in his hand, and touched the grenade hidden in his inner pocket with the other hand.
In the age of demons, such ghouls were forbidden and disgusted, let alone modern times.
This has completely triggered people's bottom line.
The blood-stained hands were still on the coffin, and the fingers were slightly bent in an extremely awkward way, as if trying to support the body, but the strength was insufficient.
"Um?"
Hayden Ao was puzzled by the strange appearance of the ghoul.
However, the branch president's actions are not slow.
Click!
After the lead wire was pulled, the grenade was accurately thrown towards the coffin.
boom!
The moment the grenade fell into the coffin, the explosion happened.
Shrapnel flew.
Roar again and again.
The wooden coffin fell apart immediately.
Can…
The ghoul still didn't appear, only the roar proved the existence of the other party.
"incomplete?"
"still?"
Hayden Ao guessed in his heart, another grenade appeared in his hand.
But before Hayden Ola opened the lead, the ground began to shake, and the entire Kimmel Cemetery began to tremble repeatedly as if an earthquake had occurred.
Tombstones fell one by one.
Or dry and sharp.
Or the palms with strong muscles protruded from the depths of the tomb one by one.
As the largest cemetery in Lin City, there are tens of thousands of corpses buried in the Kimmel Cemetery. If you count the unknown tombstones, the number will double.
At this time, more than one-third of the tombs were mutated.
"So many corpse puppets!"
"How can it be?!"
Standing there, Hayden Ao's scalp was numb, and after throwing the grenade in his hand again to the grave where the ghoul was, he subconsciously began to call for reinforcements.
It won't work without reinforcements.
With so many corpse puppets, it is simply not something he can deal with by himself.
In particular, the Kimmel Cemetery is not too far from the urban area of Lincheng. Once these corpse puppets rush into the urban area...
The entire forest city may suffer a devastating blow!
Thinking of such consequences, Hayden O couldn't help but grit his teeth.
At this moment, Hayden Ao completely forgot about Qin Ran on the side. He only knew that the funeral home had just obtained a territory! He couldn't let this territory disappear in the wave of corpse puppets without real construction.
A white candle appeared in Hayden Au's hand.
He carefully lit the candle.
Under the sun, a bean-sized flame appeared on the candle.
Slightly dim.
But as soon as this kind of light appeared, the corpse puppets who had just crawled out of the tomb around them seemed to be drawn, and rushed towards Hayden Ao, but as soon as they approached Hayden Ao with a radius of 5 meters, the flames began to burn on the corpse puppets. combustion.
At the same time, the bean-sized flame on the candle suddenly became more vigorous, and the burning speed of the candle more than doubled.
While breathing, the corpse puppets that approached in the first wave were burned to ashes.
Then came the second wave, the third wave...
After several waves, the corpse puppets were burned to ashes.
but!
There are too many corpse puppets.
Compared with the ones that were burned to fly ash and the ones that swarmed, it was not even one-tenth, but the candle burned nearly half.
Moreover, the burning speed is getting faster and faster.
Bang, bang, bang!
Gunshots rang out again.
Hayden Oren pulled the trigger.
Although he knew that doing this was a drop in the bucket, but it was better than doing nothing, right
Soon, the bullets ran out.
And there is only one candle head left in the whole candle.
Hayden Ao looked at the dense crowd of corpse puppets around him, with a look of despair on his face, after a flash, he pulled out the short blade tied to his calf.
It is impossible to catch him without a fight.
If he died, he would also kill a few more corpse puppets.
boom!
When Hayden Ao was about to launch a desperate charge, there was an explosion and violent gunshots from behind the corpse puppet.
Reinforcements have arrived!
Faster than expected!
"Survived."
Looking at the unextinguished candle, Hayden Ao let out a long breath.
Can live, who wants to die
Wandering back from the brink of death, Hayden Ao's tense nerves quickly relaxed, and only at this moment did he think of a problem.
Where did Qin Ran go
