Chapter 229
"Ah~"
"Help~"
The screams continued, and after a while, until the last cremator was caught, the screams stopped abruptly.
The cold wind was blowing, and the smell of blood was floating in the air. Blood was flowing out from the gaps in the iron door, dyeing the already dark red marble floor red again.
"Wow~"
The sound of iron chains colliding rang out repeatedly, but strangely, it slowly calmed down.
The centurion listened attentively and frowned slightly.
The black-haired zombie is extremely powerful and ferocious. It is a type of zombie, but its intelligence is not very high. Compared with other types of zombies, it is relatively stronger, but there is no qualitative difference. It is a corpse monster that basically relies on instinct to act.
After devouring the flesh and blood, the black-haired zombie's ferocity would decrease a little like a well-fed beast, but it was still restless.
The most common action is to break down and escape.
This is also the most consistent behavior of all the evil corpses after committing a crime.
But inside the crematorium, there was complete silence.
Seems a little unusual.
"Where is the abbot of Yuanqing Temple?" the centurion asked his attendants.
"Sir, he is in Cuixiang Tower and will be here soon." said a subordinate.
The centurion concentrated his mind, calmed his breath, and waited with his chest folded.
After about an incense stick of time, the abbot of Yuanqing Temple arrived.
He was a squinting Taoist priest with a thin, pointed face and a look of materialism and greed. He rode in a sedan chair carried by two bearers with dull faces and walked very fast.
The horsemen who followed on horseback actually fell behind.
Before the sedan chair arrived, the voices of the two bearers were heard: "Master Yuanqing has arrived, Master Yuanqing has arrived!"
The voices overlapped, stiff and without a trace of humanity.
"Greetings, Master Yuanqing."
The centurion glanced at the two sedan bearers and stepped forward to greet them.
"Grains and cereals are sold in the world of mortals, gold, silver and jewels are sold on the streets. This temple master only cares about money and not people. Do you have any silver?" The Taoist priest with squinting eyes recited a few words in a rhythmic manner, got straight to the point, stretched out his hand and hooked it, his face full of greed.
"Don't worry, Master. I wouldn't dare bother you without showing respect."
The centurion nodded and waved his hand. A soldier hurried forward and opened a small box in his arms. Inside were four white silver ingots.
"With silver, it's easy." The Taoist priest with slanted eyes smiled, took the silver ingot and put it in his arms, and asked, "What's the chaos tonight?"
"Master, there are five black-haired zombies and one corpse has risen. The cremator has been killed." said the centurion.
After the corpse chaos began, Governor Sun Yuanhua posted a notice inviting wandering and extraordinary people from all over to suppress the corpses. At the beginning, there was some chaos, and scammers appeared one after another, but there were also a few people with real skills.
This squinting alchemist is one of them.
He calls himself the Master of Yuanqing Temple, but no one knows where he comes from.
The Governor's Office did not investigate the matter and would use all the soldiers as long as they could be used.
"Just a black-haired zombie, easy." The Taoist priest with slanted eyes shook his head and ordered the two sedan bearers: "Get off the sedan."
But the two sedan bearers in front and behind had dull eyes and were indifferent.
"I said get off the sedan chair."
The squinting alchemist repeated it again.
The two sedan bearers then moved. Strangely, they did not get off the sedan, but walked quickly forward, and in the blink of an eye they had taken more than thirty steps.
"Stop, stop."
The squinting Taoist priest quickly slapped the sedan chair poles.
The two sedan bearers stopped again and shouted in unison: "Master Yuanqing, stop! Master Yuanqing, stop!"
The Taoist priest with squinting eyes looked resentful and said, "Retreat."
"Master Yuanqing, please retreat! Master Yuanqing, please retreat!"
The two sedan bearers quickly turned around and returned to their original positions.
The centurion watched quietly, as if it were normal.
The two sedan bearers of the slant-eyed Taoist priest carried the sedan at a very fast speed. They did not eat or drink, and wore thin clothes and short jackets in the cold winter, but they often malfunctioned.
If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, the Master of Yuanqing Temple would be wanted immediately if he dared to parade through the streets, but this is a chaotic time, so as long as he can be used, no one cares whether he is a monster or not.
"I said get off the sedan chair."
The slanted-eyed Taoist priest repeated it again with a look of despair.
"Master Yuanqing is getting off the sedan chair! Master Yuanqing is getting off the sedan chair!"
The two bearers then lowered the sedan chair, their movements as swift as ever. It landed on the ground with a swish. The slanted-eyed Taoist priest hung in mid-air for a moment before landing, landing heavily on the sedan chair seat. Furious, he jumped up and kicked the bearers fiercely, cursing, "Stupid guys, what's the use of you~"
As a result, the sedan bearer was kicked but did not move at all, like a wooden stake.
However, the Taoist priest with the squint eyes cried out "ouch" and stepped back, covering his foot and almost falling down.
"Master, there has been no movement in there for a long time. Please take a look as soon as possible." The centurion was unwilling to wait for the slanted-eyed Taoist priest to make trouble, so he stepped forward to urge him.
Linqing City is an important logistics base for the front-line army. If anything goes wrong, the governor's office will blame it, and no one can afford it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have to carry a large amount of money with them and hire strange people like the squinting alchemist to take action at any time.
I consciously told him that something was not right inside.
It's so quiet.
"Humph!"
The Taoist priest with squinting eyes snorted coldly, then gathered his clothes and walked to the door of the crematorium, saying, "Open the door."
The two soldiers hurried to the door, opened the big lock on the door, then stepped back and pulled hard on the long rope tied to the door.
"Squeak~"
The door opened slowly with a grinding sound.
"Quack quack~"
"Oh!"
The door had just opened a crack when a loud noise was heard.
A creature covered in black hair suddenly pounced on the slanted-eyed alchemist.
It turned out to be a black-haired corpse monster!
His limbs were still dragging broken chains, making rattling noises.
"evil creature!"
The Taoist priest with squinting eyes focused his gaze, stretched out his hand and pushed, and a yellow cloth flew out from his sleeve. It instantly swelled up in the wind and covered the black-haired corpse monster head-on. The water rippled under his feet and he dodged two steps to the side.
In the blink of an eye, a man and a corpse were intertwined.
The black-haired corpse monster was covered by a yellow cloth, and when it landed on the ground, it instinctively tore the yellow cloth apart.
But as soon as the yellow cloth was torn off, the slanted-eyed Taoist priest, who had been prepared long ago, quickly stuck a corpse-suppressing talisman on its forehead.
This is a silver corpse-suppressing talisman. Any black-haired corpse monster that touches it will fall down.
The battle was over in two breaths.
It was so fast that people could hardly react.
"Master, you have good means."
The centurion nodded, and this was not a compliment.
"It's just a black-haired zombie. If it jumps, this temple master will have to be on high alert. You can keep the corpse, and remember to return the corpse-suppressing talisman to me." The Taoist priest with squinted eyes smiled contemptuously.
However, the words just fell.
"Quack~"
“Ga ga ga ga~”
The terrifying sound rang out again.
It's not the black-haired corpse monster that fell to the ground, but the one inside the crematorium.
Several times, not just one.
"Quack quack~"
The next moment, three black-haired corpse monsters jumped out of the crematorium at the same time, landed beside the fallen black-haired corpse monster, and tore the yellow cloth. At the same time, a "creaking" sound was heard from the roof of the crematorium.
There was another one!
What makes it different is that its back is covered with thorns, which at first glance look like the thorns of Spinosaurus, with more black hair and bloodshot eyes.
Almost at the moment when everyone looked up, it swooped down and crashed down on a soldier who was pulling the rope to open the door with the force of a mountain. In an instant, blood flew out and the body was shattered into pieces. He didn't even have time to scream.
The centurion saw this and fear crept across his face as he exclaimed, "Jumping!"
The Taoist priest with squinting eyes was also shocked.
He reacted the fastest, turning around and running towards the sedan chair: "Run!"
The jumping zombie is a mutated corpse among the black-haired zombies. It is naturally the leader of the black-haired zombies and possesses a certain degree of intelligence.
A low-intelligence black-haired zombie that is alone is easy to deal with, but a group of black-haired zombies is terrifying, and the strength of the jumping zombies is far beyond that of the black-haired zombies.
This situation is completely unavoidable.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!!"
The centurion then let out a loud roar and turned to run away.
However, no matter how fast he and the slant-eyed Taoist priest were, there were two people who were faster than them.
Who?
Those two wooden sedan bearers.
I saw them lift up the empty sedan chair with a "swish" sound and ride away in a cloud of dust!
He disappeared in a few breaths, leaving only the echo of his voice: "Master Yuanqing, run! Master Yuanqing, run!"
The squinting Taoist priest who fell behind suddenly turned green in the face.
"Stupid thing, I haven't even gotten into the sedan yet!"
