At dinner time, the people of Hongyue Town prepared a table of good wine and food to entertain Mo Shouchen.
Mo Shouchen couldn't resist the warm welcome, so he could only sit at the same table with a few elders in the town to eat. However, because he had something to do in the evening, he didn't drink at all.
At midnight, Mo Shouchen was sitting in a pavilion in the center of Hongyue Town, always paying attention to the movements around him.
Suddenly, the sound of gongs was heard from the east, and Mo Shouchen's eyes froze. This was the signal agreed between him and the watchman. Whenever a zombie was seen, the watchman would beat the gongs.
Mo Shouchen quickly ran in the direction of the gong. The entire Hongyue Town was not big. It was less than a kilometer from the center of the town to the easternmost part.
At his speed, it only took him two minutes to run there.
From a distance, Mo Shouchen saw the watchman running this way like crazy, followed by a jumping zombie.
The watchman was so frightened that he threw away the gong and playing board in his hands, but even so, the zombies behind him were still chasing him closer and closer, and they were about to catch him.
"Heavenly Master, save me!"
Seeing Mo Shouchen running towards this side, the watchman shouted for help. He rushed towards Mo Shouchen in three steps and two steps at a time, and finally ran behind Mo Shouchen before he was caught by the zombies.
At this time, the zombie was only four or five meters away from Mo Shouchen, and he also saw the zombie's appearance through the moonlight.
It was similar to the one seen in the movie. This zombie was wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, with a green face and fangs. The muscles on its face had been severely atrophied, and it looked like a piece of frozen meat just taken out of the freezer.
Its hands are also as dry as tree bark, and the nails on its fingers are long and sharp. If it grabs a handful, the skin and flesh will be torn.
The zombie jumped towards Mo Shouchen. Mo Shouchen quickly ducked to the side to avoid the zombie's sharp claws. At the same time, he took out the talisman paper he had prepared, took it out directly with his hand, and stuck the talisman paper on the zombie.
on the forehead.
The zombie that was alive and kicking just now immediately stood still.
The talisman that Mo Shouchen affixed to the zombie's forehead was a corpse-suppressing talisman taken out of the talisman bag. Although this talisman cannot kill zombies, it can immobilize zombies and is a great weapon against zombies.
The reason why he did not use the ghosts in the black book to deal with zombies was because Gao Banxian told him that zombies are beyond the three realms, their bodies are invulnerable, and they have no souls in their bodies. They rely entirely on instinct to kill.
The attacks of ghosts are spiritual attacks and are ineffective against zombies, so Mo Shouchen used the ghost-suppressing charm to control the zombies.
Zombies are most afraid of sunlight. As long as the sun comes out, this zombie will naturally disappear and be unable to harm the people of Hongyue Town.
To be on the safe side, Mo Shouchen took out the ink pipe thread he had obtained from the carpenter in the town.
He used ink lines to trap the zombie tightly, so that even if he accidentally knocked off the ghost-suppressing charm on his forehead, the zombie would be unable to move.
After taking double insurance, Mo Shouchen took out a small bottle from his pocket. The green liquid in the bottle was juice squeezed from countless willow leaves. He worked all afternoon and only managed to get half of the bottle.
Willow leaf juice can soften the zombie's invulnerable flesh, so that the softened zombie flesh can be cut off with a knife.
Gao Banxian told Mo Shouchen about the ink line and willow leaf juice. It has to be said that Gao Banxian is still very useful in zombie-type scripts.
Mo Shouchen pulled up the zombie's sleeve, and then carefully poured the precious willow juice onto the zombie's arm. The zombie's gray skin suddenly began to bubble as if sulfuric acid had been poured on it.
After waiting for a while, the bubbles almost disappeared, and the skin on that piece also changed from gray to dark green.
Mo Shouchen thought it was almost done, so he took out a knife and prepared to cut off the softened zombie flesh.
But just as he was about to take action, the sound of gongs was also heard from the west of Hongyue Town. It seemed that zombies also appeared there.
Although it was only one step away, in order to avoid the zombies to the west hurting anyone, Mo Shouchen had no choice but to put away his knife and run in the direction of the gong.
The sound of gongs in the west was as rapid as raindrops. It seemed that the situation was very critical, so Mo Shouchen couldn't help but speed up his steps.
But just as he was about to reach his destination, gongs sounded from the south and north, and then the gongs sounded again from the east where he had just left.
The sound of gongs came from all directions, and each one was faster than the last, as if the entire Hongyue Town was surrounded by zombies.
Mo Shouchen frowned slightly. He had already asked several people during the day and found that there were only two or three zombies that frequently haunted Hongyue Town recently.
But the sound of the gong now indicated that there were at least four zombies attacking Hongyue Town, not counting the one he just caught.
Is it because he entered the script that the number of zombies increased?
Mo Shouchen had no choice but to continue running to the west. Soon he saw another watchman beating the gong, followed by two zombies.
It seems that there are far more zombies than he imagined...
