C7

Anji narrated once again.

The sky was not yet bright. There were a few dark clouds in the dusky sky, and the weather was very cool. We came to this small road. It was very safe. There were no poisonous bugs or monsters in black robes. There are people on the way to the village, I think they're in the morning. We followed the passersby inside. The boy saw that I was in a bad mood and didn't disturb me. He just walked silently to the back.

We were in town just as the sun rose over the edge of gold. There weren't many people in the town, so they started to disperse. Many of the covers began to close, which I did not understand. There were still a few restaurants on the street that hadn't closed yet. We randomly found one and sat down. The boss, a middle-aged man who was a little impatient, came over and asked us what we wanted to eat. The boy ordered a basket of steamed buns and two bowls of porridge, then he led me to a table and offered me his treat. After a while, the steamed buns and porridge were served. The boy touched them with his hand and found that they were both cold. He then asked the boss to heat them up. At the time, I was wondering why the morning should not be for business and why it should be closed. My heart is extremely bad, what's wrong with it? When he got here, he did not run into any good things, so he quarrelled with the boss for a while. However, at this time, the student picked up the porridge and took a sip, then picked up the steamed bun and began to chew. At the same time, he also advised me to eat while it was cold.

When I sat down and was about to take the bun, I happened to see a black cloud rise on the student's face. I thought I was seeing things, and when I rubbed my eyes and looked again, I saw that the student's face had gone from white to black, and he was beginning to stink. I stood up and pointed at him, and for a moment I couldn't speak, and then he found that his hands were beginning to turn black and stink, and he began to scream and stumble, but then it was as if a great itch had struck him, and he began to claw at his neck with his hands, and then his face, and he rolled to the ground, rolling and screaming. I turned and called for the boss's help. When I turned around, I saw that the boss's face was black, too, and that it had gone from yellow to gray, and that the muscles in his face were swollen. At that moment, the boss came at me with a rusty kitchen knife in his hand. I stepped back to the side of the table, and as I missed the cut, I picked up the porridge on the table and threw it at the boss. The boss brought the knife down on the bowl, "Clang, clang, clang," and the kitchen knife smashed into the bowl, shattering it into pieces. The rice spilled all over the owner's body, not just a bowl of porridge, but a bowl of insect porridge, red and black like a centipede, with large pincers growing on its forelimbs. When the insect landed on the boss, its large pincers tore apart the boss's skin and entered his body. The boss didn't feel any pain, as if it didn't happen at all. He seemed to feel very comfortable. Just then, the student rolled to the boss's feet. He also seemed to see clearly what had happened and understood. He stopped scratching his face and grabbed the boss's foot with his hands, shouting out in a hoarse voice, "Quick … "Run …" The boss couldn't break free for a while, so he raised his knife to chop at the student's arm. I seized this opportunity to rush past the boss and break through the door.

A ray of sunlight fell on me. The sun had come out. The sky was bright. Just as we were fighting, the sun revealed a corner of its golden edge, and although it was no longer strong, there was a warmth to it. Just then, the boss cut off one of the student's hand walls and ran out one step at a time, raising the knife to chop again, at that moment his body was startled, then he started trembling, the boss's mouth issued out a creaking sound, he seemed to want to go back to the shop, but it seemed too late, his body began to shake, and then I saw his body smoking, in less than a minute, the boss turned into a cloud of dust, the kitchen knife clanging to the ground. At this moment, the student also stumbled out with the severed arm. When he was hit by the sunlight, he too let out a scream, but instead of smoking, his body began to swell. In about two minutes, he swelled into a black sphere, and like a ball filled with water, he exploded with a plop. Black and red blood splattered all over the ground, and as the sun shone down, a bloody patch appeared on the ground, mixed with patches of black ash. As the morning breeze blew, two pieces of black ash scattered in the wind. The student only left behind a few bloodstains.

The process took less than ten minutes. It happened so quickly, so quickly, that I didn't even have time to react. When I realized what I was doing, I looked around me and saw that there were no bungalows. They were all old wooden houses, very desolate, and there was no doubt that they were the kind of people who die when they see light. They were a group of rotting people, a group of stinking people who seemed afraid of the sun and didn't dare to come out, screaming at me through the cracks in the planks. Instead of feeling safe, I felt that something bigger was going to happen.

Indeed, it seemed as if it responded to the roar. As the roars rose and fell, a roar came from deep within the town. That roar drowned out all other sounds, and soon after, all other sounds stopped and became quiet. In the middle of the town, there were people jumping over here at an extremely fast speed. I didn't even look at them as I turned around and entered the wooden house area, hoping to use the house to hide myself. When I got into the alley, I realized I was wrong. The carrion corpses couldn't get out, but they could see me. No matter where I ran, they would roar, and the jumping monsters would follow the sound. In the end, I couldn't escape. The thing had chased me into a dead end. The leaping monster was getting closer and closer, and I could see it clearly, ape-sized, human face, grey-black in color, two green eyes, nostrils flaring a little, two long teeth showing outside the lips, it was bone but covered with skin, black in colour, and covered with green hair half a foot long on the dry skin. It came towards me, not one, but five, and they leaped on all fours, three meters away, with one flaw after another, pausing after each jump.

They surrounded me, looked at each other, and made a few squeaking sounds. Then one of them ran towards me and sent me flying with a claw. I fell to the ground and fainted. When I woke up, they were dragging me along on the ground. I didn't know where, except that they stopped at a high slope, and then I flew down, and with a plop, I fell into a pit of mud that was really too smelly, that rotten smell, and I almost fainted again. There was mud everywhere, not a drop of water, and the mud was thick, and when I hit it, it splattered and sank into a pit, and my body sank down, and while I was at a loss, one hand grabbed my shoulder by the coat, the other by my arm, and dragged me to the edge of the pit, where I stepped on a foot, but my body was still in the mud.

I stood still and looked at the man. I didn't know him, because it was dark, and he was covered in mud, and so was his face, so I couldn't see his face, but the man was also standing at the fulcrum, his upper body exposed, and he looked very strong. I could feel him grabbing me, pulling me.

His voice had a Shandong charm to it, but it sounded hoarse and shaky. His name was Cui Zheng, he had been soaking here for two days now, he was wounded, the mud poison seeped into his body through the wound, he felt like he was going to turn into a corpse, he said they were soldiers, they mistakenly entered here on a mission, they were caught and thrown here, several of his comrades turned into corpses right in front of his eyes, he saw the process, the mud on his face was from trying to avoid the corpses of his comrades, the fight with his comrades, he told me that he could not take it anymore, very soon he would turn into a corpse, if he turned into a corpse, I would definitely not be able to beat him. For safety's sake, he tore off his clothes and tied me to his back with a wrench. I didn't resist the whole process, I was sure that what he said was true, because I saw his fingernails grow long and his face turn black. At this time, he was very clear that he was violently resisting, trying to suppress his Corpse Transformation, but he was almost unable to suppress it, the veins on his face were popping out.

Half an hour later, he was finally unable to endure and began to undergo the Corpse Transformation. I was behind him and couldn't see him. He was scratching his chest and then he started to feel stiff, shaking, and then he started to smell rotten. The process lasted for nearly half an hour, and I was thrown into the mud several times, almost suffocating.

When he was finished, he reached out and grabbed me behind him, but luckily it was tied up, it couldn't reach me, and he began to shout, as if it didn't want to stay there either. Finally he drilled into a large hole at the edge of the pit. The tunnel was not long, and his long nails dug into the edge of the hole, and crawled very fast, and I was brought out by him, bound, but choked to death by the putrefaction, and when we crawled out and were forced to be held down by the green-furred monsters outside, and then separated, I was choked to death as we passed through the tunnel. But after a delay, I was sent to this room, and where the soldier was sent I do not know. When I woke up, I didn't dare to remove the smelly mud from my body. I think it was this slime that saved my life, this slime that helped me get out. I have to go out and investigate this place and find my way out of here.

During the whole day, I didn't dare to go out. Moreover, we weren't the only ones here, because if we went out we would definitely be caught. There were also others who mistakenly entered this place. I saw a girl knocked out and dragged away.

In the evening, when the sun had set, the corpses came out to move about, but I could see that they were all corpses, only moving mechanically, and this mud made them unable to see me. I tried to go out and find some companions. I wanted to leave this place.

Just as I was looking around, I saw you, and you were different from them, and I recognized you at a glance, and when I came up to call you, I saw a green-haired ape walking by in the market, and I could only approach you slowly and find you buying, and I guess you didn't see that it was a corpse, and the buns were dead toads, and the little one had six of them packed for you, and the old one had made you a roll of toads wrapped in rotting skin. I was wondering how you could communicate with them. They were all making chirping sounds, and you were speaking in human language.

When I saw you pick up the rolls to eat, the corpse was grinning at you, black and yellow fangs bared, and I realized that you didn't recognize them, that there was nothing I could do, that I had to rush to you and wake you up, so I took your bread and led you here.

She wiped her eyes as she spoke, and the tears washed the mud from her face, leaving two streaks of tears.

"I know you are very hungry, and so am I. It has already been a day and a night since I last ate anything. If I continue for another day, I probably won't be able to last much longer. However, this thing really can't be eaten." Lin took out a handful of wild fruits from his pocket and handed them to her. Anji's eyes immediately lit up as he snatched them from her and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I still have more. Eat slowly," Lin Zheng hurriedly said. He fished in his pants pocket, pulled out another handful, and handed it to her.

This time, Angel didn't take it. Instead, he carefully put it in his mouth. While chewing on the wild fruit, she lowered her head to pick up the wild fruit that had fallen to the ground. Her head was so anxious that it fell to the ground.

"Do you have more? We need to eat sparingly." Ankh.

Lin was shaking the wild fruits out of the pockets of his pants. After they had gathered them up, he piled them into a small pile. "Is there anyone else who came in?" he asked as he ate.

"Just me, but I subconsciously stopped. Here, I met my aunt, she should be counted as one, right?" Lin Zheng replied.

"Not necessarily. You are certain that she is human, not a corpse …" You and Ben don't recognize them. " "Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!" "After you finish eating, take me there. I only need to take a look from afar and I will know whether they are human or corpses."

When she said this, Lin Zheng trembled in fear. His aunt was a little strange. Why did that speed always keep a certain distance from him, why didn't he switch on the light, and why didn't he come down when he went upstairs? Had Aunt also become a corpse? To murder him? Lin Zheng was filled with suspicion. No, if she wanted to murder him, her aunt would have done so long ago. From her sighs, one could see that she was a little impatient, and her aunt had warned him on the way upstairs that he had come out on his own. Besides, his aunt had loved Lin Zheng since he was young, so there was no reason for her to harm him. If she wanted to harm him and bring him a bowl of porridge, he would have told her already. Lin was still thinking about it, but he couldn't get any results, but he was sure that his aunt hadn't come downstairs after they had gone upstairs. She probably wanted to lead him upstairs to see something. There must be a problem upstairs.

There was no light in the room, and there was silence again.

"What do you plan to do? I will think of a way to escape tomorrow anyway. I don't want to starve to death or become a corpse!" Anji interrupted the dead silence and said.

"Sure, I agree, but before that, I need to see my aunt. I think he has something to say to me," Lin Zheng said.

"No, that would be too dangerous. If it's a Corpse Monster, it would be very difficult for you to escape." "We have one more person with us right now, so if we want to escape tomorrow, I guess I won't be able to do it alone!" An Zhi hurriedly said.

She had a point, and I was in danger with her, but I kept having the feeling that my aunt had something to say to me, that if I went upstairs I would get some news, that I was thinking about what to do, and that there was a dead silence on the roof.
