Chapter 67 Corpses and Songs

"I saw it. Just like what Gu Nian said, there are four doors there... I don't know if they are doors. They are the same size and printed with different patterns. Together they form a cuboid."

In the coffin burial ground, Xia Yuxi was walking at the front. She closed her eyes, recalling the memories read from Gu Nian's heart, and shuttled between identical huts, as if she was really looking at a map and moving forward.

The sky is dark, and the gray mist is constantly flowing. The light of the flashlight cannot penetrate at all, shrinking and relaxing, like a ghost's gaze.

"There are countless moving corpses surrounding the door. Their clothes are very strange. They should not be from our era. There are so many of them that the door is completely surrounded, making it difficult for even those powerful creatures to approach."

Xia Yuxi frowned and continued.

"That's right." Gu Nian said, trembling all over as if he thought of something terrible, "There are twenty-three of us in total, and less than five of us can escape from that pile of corpses..."

Lu Zhan glanced at him and said suspiciously: "You are among these people alive?"

Gu Nian sneered: "Who said my ability is to pretend to be dead?"

Lu Zhan was speechless, then shook his head and said, "That means we can't attack by force?"

"Let me put it this way, we have a B-level transcendent in our team. His ability is [Thunderstorm], which causes large-scale damage, but he was devoured by the pile of corpses before the attack even started."

Hearing this, Lu Zhan's heart sank, and then he looked at Gu Nian with interest.

Seeing Bai Mo lagging behind, he whispered: "It's not a weak force to have a B-level extraordinary being in charge. What's more, there are twenty-three of you. I think you are at least a C-level extraordinary, right?"

"So..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who are you?"

"I, I..." Gu Nian stopped talking.

"They are a smuggling gang." At this moment, Xia Yuxi suddenly spoke.

She closed her eyes, turned to look at Gu Nian, and apologized: "I'm sorry...there is relevant information in your memory of entering the coffin burial ground."

Gu Nian looked ugly, and then smiled lonely: "It's nothing, there is no need to apologize, I am indeed a member of the smuggling gang."

He said honestly: "We are rooted in Jiye City. The name of the organization is Jiye. It is very powerful and almost monopolizes the entire smuggling trade in Jiye City."

Lu Zhan asked: "What are you mainly smuggling?"

Gu Nian smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't know either."

"have no idea?"

"Yes, before each smuggling, I fell into a state of complete suspended animation, pretending to be a corpse, and the organization would use my body to smuggle the goods..."

"You are really a talent, how can you use your abilities like this?" Lu Zhan was eye-opening, and then he asked curiously, "But why don't you smuggle real corpses?"

"It is said...it is said that it is because the real corpse cannot bear it..." Gu Nian said bitterly.

"Tsk, it seems to be something incredible..."

Xia Yuxi asked strangely: "A smuggling gang involving B-class extraordinary people is really serious. Don't the people in Jiye City care about it?"

"I don't know, I'm just a cargo guy..." Gu Nian said dejectedly.

Lu Zhan took a deep look at him and said with a half-smile, "You are really ill-fated."

"Who says it isn't?"

"For the sake of intelligence, I won't arrest you, but when I get out, I will call the people in Jiye City and tell them all the information about you. You can take care of yourself."

"Boss, don't do it! I have an old man above me and a young man below me..."

Gu Nian's expression changed drastically, and she almost hugged Lu Zhan's thigh and cried bitterly.

"Everything you do has to pay a price, you should understand this." Lu Zhan shook his head and interrupted him.

Xia Yuxi also ignored the dying Gu Nian and asked Lu Zhan, "Do you have any way to deal with those corpses?"

"No, I can only say that I am somewhat certain. Besides..." Lu Zhan rolled his eyes and suddenly looked at the hunched one-eyed old man beside him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, do you have any idea?"

"What can I do?" the old man said calmly.

"You heard it too. Those corpses are very powerful. If you want to get close to the door, maybe we need to work together."

"Oh, that seems to make sense."

The old man tilted his head and gave him a sinister smile, "But have you ever thought about..."

"Am I actually a corpse too?"

After hearing this, the three of them were horrified, especially Gu Nian, who almost collapsed on the ground.

At this moment, Bai Mo's voice came from behind everyone: "How's your conversation going? Let's go quickly. I'm in a hurry."

Compared with usual, his tone had undergone a huge change, it was calm and calm, with a faint smell of blood, which made Lu Zhan's heartbeat accelerate rapidly.

Others may not have noticed anything, but he suddenly realized something was wrong...

The gravekeeper...could he be awake?

Perhaps guessing what he was thinking, Bai Mo turned his head and glanced at him, grinning with a kind smile.

"What's the matter, Army?"

Lu Zhan's scalp was numb.

...Lu Lie, he called me Lu Lie!

You know, Bai Mo always thought that he was Bai Mo's clone before!

"I'm fine."

Although he was extremely uneasy, he still pretended to be calm and composed.

Somehow, he suddenly felt empathy for the cowardly Gu Nian...

Xia Yuxi kept her eyes closed, and Gu Nian didn't even dare to look at Lu Zhan, so no one noticed anything unusual about him.

At this moment, Lu Zhan had already prepared for the worst.

He couldn't help but feel lucky that he was not in City No. 3 now. Even if the tombkeeper really showed some terrible destructive power, it would not threaten the safety of City No. 3.

The one-eyed old man glanced at Bai Mo calmly, but happened to meet the latter's eyes. He coughed dryly and withdrew his gaze.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xia Yuxi felt a little strange, the atmosphere in the team seemed to have changed all of a sudden.

But she didn't open her eyes, and she just led everyone to change directions. It was clear that she was going in circles, but the fog in front of her was gradually dissipating. There were no more houses around, but a huge circular platform appeared.

.

The ground is no longer soft black soil, but is covered with solid green tiles. However, it has long been covered with severed limbs and corpses, and the blood has condensed into lumps. Groups of moving corpses are like locusts passing by, constantly pouring towards the center of the platform.

Move, the stench soaring into the sky assaults your nostrils, it’s disgusting——

Xia Yuxi suddenly knew where the stench in the coffin came from.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. Xia Yuxi's previous oral description could not describe the horror of this scene. There were so many corpses, wearing strange clothes, and covered with all kinds of disgusting liquids. They were layered one on top of the other, which was shocking.

I felt scared when I saw it.

"Lijun Lu, how sure are you?" Xia Yuxi said with a solemn expression.

"I'm... I'm pretty sure..."

Lu Zhan was stunned by the scene in front of him. He even wondered if there were so many living people in the entire safe zone.

Just at this moment, something more terrifying happened.

As if they had received some kind of signal, the group of corpses stopped in unison. They all turned their heads, no matter where they were. Some of their necks twisted directly 180 degrees, and they looked at the location of everyone.

.

There was not much flesh and blood left on the body, and the eyeballs had long since disappeared, looking particularly empty, but everyone could still feel the anger, madness, hatred and unwillingness in their eyes.

The corpse was silent, and the whole world seemed to have fallen into silence.

Gu Nian took a step back inconspicuously.

The next second, the sound of vibrations soared into the sky, and the group of corpses began to run wildly, towards everyone at an incredible speed.

"run!"

Lu Zhan roared loudly, and even the old man who claimed to be a corpse started rolling and running at an extremely fast speed, still looming above everyone else.

"Let's go!"

Xia Yuxi noticed Bai Mo standing motionless, and quickly gave him a hard pull.

She exerted great force, but the latter did not move an inch.

Bai Mo stood there, like a dull puppet, quietly looking at the corpse rushing over.

Xia Yuxi tried again, gritted her teeth, and had no choice but to give up Bai Mo.

The speed of the corpse was very fast, like a huge wave rising into the sky, and it was about to engulf Bai Mo.

Xia Yuxi couldn't bear to look.

Suddenly, there was a different sound in the sky-shaking vibration——

It's singing.

"Sleep well, baby

The night has fallen

Bedside covered with roses

accompany you to sleep

little baby,little baby

Singing to lull you to sleep

Sleep well, baby

Moonlight fills the earth

The breeze blows gently

little baby,little baby

Singing to lull you to sleep

…”

The sound was very low and soft, but it overshadowed the deafening vibration.

A strange thing happened. All the corpses gradually stopped and stood in place, their breaths dissipated, like soldiers being reviewed.

The next second, they separated into a passage that allowed only one person to pass through. Their empty eyes stared forward, as if they were welcoming the king's return.
