Chapter 526 Avoiding the Undead
"Your corpse poison will be fine after washing with these, but if your companion doesn't have a healing mage, don't think about your legs." The night watchman sat on an old wooden pier and said while smoking a pipe.
Wang Tong handed him an automatic lighter and a Chinese stick. The night watchman shook his head repeatedly and said that they are not closed or backward, but they must rely on this method to keep the village quiet.
The old night watchman said that there is no empty wooden house in the village, and everyone can only spend one night in the hay house.
Everyone is a soldier, and they have survived all the arduous training. For them, there are no undead, and a thatched hut is already very comfortable.
"What's the matter, let's talk about it at dawn. Also, don't run around, especially when you go out of the village. I'll tell the village chief about your arrival..." The old night watchman explained and left with his cigarette holder in his mouth. .
Everyone was lying in the damp thatched hut. They were so tired that they didn't speak. They covered their clothes and fell asleep directly.
Most of the people here have seen too much life and death, and seen too much blood. Tonight's thrills are thrills, but it doesn't prevent them from sleeping.
No one was watching, and everyone fell asleep.
Zhang Xiaohou was woken up several times by freezing in the middle of the night, the first time the moon was hanging high, the second time it was already slanted, and the third time the surroundings were pitch black, the silence was so unnerving, but tiredness still made him fall asleep, and then he opened his eyes, It was already daylight.
...
"Come here, little son of a bitch, who told you to put your feet in the bath, see if I don't peel your skin!"
"Laundry, let's go together. My wife does not do anything frequently, but changes clothes very frequently."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The sound of gongs woke everyone up, eyes opened dimly, there were children running around, women who started doing housework, and old people who started to wander around early in the morning...
The whole village was very quiet last night, but early in the morning, it was no different from the usual villages, even very lively.
Everyone woke up, and a few runny-nosed children who had never seen outsiders gathered around the thatched cottage, looking at them as if they were foreigners.
"We're all awake. Let's go to the village hall. The village chief said to see you." The old night watchman was so energetic early in the morning that he didn't sleep all night. He took everyone to have breakfast before going to the village hall.
The village hall is not big,
There is a small courtyard with a large copper foil inside, which is filled with cold and clear water, and there are many cobblestones at the bottom. If you look carefully, you will find red characters engraved on the cobblestones, which look like human. name.
"In our village, people who go away, whether they are young or old, will write their names and sink them in this big copper foil. This can prevent them from being with those things outside." The night watchman explained casually.
After passing the yard, you can see the village hall.
There are a few old people sitting on wooden chairs in the village hall, all of them look very leisurely, and they don't look panicked at all because they live in the land of the dead.
There was a middle-aged man in the main seat. His crow's feet were very obvious. When he smiled a little, he showed vicissitudes. Even if his skin was well maintained, he couldn't hide it.
"I am the village head here, you can call me Fang Gu." The middle-aged man who claimed to be Fang Gu said.
"Our village head is amazing, he is a grand master." The night watchman praised him.
"Compared to these masters from the military region, I am nothing." Fang Gu smiled, showing a very humble look.
"You're still a master, we've got one of them seriously injured and one of them died, and we're in such a mess." The old night watchman said a little without holding back his words.
Fang Gu gave the night watchman a wink, the old man knew what he said was not good, he made a farewell gesture, and probably went home to sleep.
"I'm sorry, the old man talks a lot. Recently, there is a lot of death. The undead come out to harm people before it is completely dark, and they are extremely fierce. No matter what tasks you are going to perform, you must be more careful." Fang Gu spoke in a more amiable manner.
"Thank you for the village chief's reminder. This is the case. We were ordered to rescue the survey team. We will report to them as soon as we get their news. If there is any news from the village chief..." Captain Qin Hu said.
"Oh, you said they...they have visited our village before, reminded us of some things and then left. They didn't stay for long, so they should have gone to another village." Fang Gu obviously had an impression, and immediately replied.
"They were alright when they came?" Shi Shaoju asked hastily.
"Anhao, there are also nine people, and there is no one missing."
"They probably also took off all the communication equipment when they entered your village. We lost contact with them in your village. If the village chief knows where they went next, please let me know." Qin Hu said.
"It is true that communication equipment cannot be brought into the village. The same rules apply when you go to other villages. As for where they went...it must be Hua Village in the west. I heard them mention it alone." Village Chief Fang Gu Said.
"Oh, thank you very much."
After talking with the village chief, a bald old man sitting next to him spoke slowly: "Since you are here, we don't want your military region to send another team over to find out the whereabouts of your team...By the way, let me tell you, It takes two days to get from us to Huacun."
"We are mages."
"I'm talking about mages." The bald old man emphasized.
The two leaders, Qin Hu and Shi Shaoju, immediately frowned. If they want to reach Huacun, they must spend the night outside!
Originally, they thought there was nothing wrong with spending the night outside with their strength, but after going through last night, they no longer wanted to take such a risk.
"Village chief, the undead have been extremely brutal recently, and we can't resist them, but we must complete the tasks assigned by our superiors, so I hope you can tell us how to avoid the undead... Since your village is safe and sound in the land of the undead, it is even heard that Villagers who walk at night, I think you must have some special inheritance..." Shi Shaoju said to the village chief Fang Gu with a serious face.
"No, no, this is a secret of our village, and we cannot tell outsiders." The bald old man objected immediately.
"Also, even if I tell you, you won't be able to use it. You'd better figure out a way for yourself." Another old man also spoke.
Fang Gu looked like he wanted to help, but he was also full of helplessness.
After a while, he suddenly said, "It's not okay to tell you the village's secrets, but you can try another way... But, if something goes wrong, you are likely to fall into the crowd of corpses."
