Zombies take me as air

Chapter 357 The Statue Comes Back
It's just that during the days when they were running around, they never met the man with sunglasses again.

They didn't see it when they went to the City of Heaven, and no one with sunglasses touched them when they came out of it.

Kong Qi sent a native bird to monitor the movement of the zombie army, so she found that the zombies did not go west.

They are moving northward and have already crossed the border, but they diverge during the migration process, so it can only be said that the 'mainstream' is heading north, and she doesn't know where the other 'non-mainstream' squads have gone.

"Don't they need to eat people anymore?" When she flipped through the videos brought back by Tuniao, she couldn't help but pull Lu Xiangbei to discuss it together.

"They have lived for several years without eating people, and no zombies have starved to death."

At this time, they were on their way back to the west. They wanted to go back to support the new city ahead of the zombie army, but found that the zombies had not moved west.

They also stopped, but they were not in a hurry to chase the zombies, they only sent the earthbirds out to investigate.

Kong Qi planned to stop by to see Meng Boyi. They found the entrance of the ancient tomb and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it.

Meng Boyi usually arranges people to guard the gate 24 hours a day, and there is no such thing as unattended.

Kong Qi suddenly felt something was wrong, and led Lu Xiangbei into the space, and walked in directly from the space.

Sure enough, there was no one guarding the door, and there was a stench in the air, which both she and Lu Xiangbei were familiar with. It was the smell of rotting corpses.

She quickened her pace, walked through the deep passage, and walked into the underground space.

Meng Boyi's people built a road in the underground space, enter from Shimen, and walk along the road to the underground camp.

Worried that something happened to Meng Boyi, she took out her electric bike and rode to the camp. The camp was pitch black.

Her heart sank. Under normal circumstances, people in the camp could see them when they got on the road.

If outsiders come in, the survivors of the camp must come and take a look.

She rode an electric bike into the camp, and the entire underground space was filled with a rancid smell, and she couldn't tell where it was coming from.

But there was no one in the camp, the camp was empty, and they didn't see a body.

Kong Qi released the second donkey and asked him to smell it to find out where the stench in the air came from.

The two donkeys sniffed around the empty camp, then ran to the 'tomb'.

There are sixteen more square holes in the base of the ancient tomb, like drains. She didn't see these things when she came last time.

Meng Boyi listened to her suggestion and didn't let the survivors move to live in that tomb, which is supposed to be empty.

But the two donkeys led them to the tomb. At the door of the tomb, Kong Qi saw a palm.

It was a severed hand, already highly decayed, and its fracture was very neat, as if it had been cut with a guillotine.

The second donkey stood at the door of the tomb, patting the ground with its paws. It had a secret signal with Kong Qi, and it was signaling to Kong Qi that this place was very dangerous.

Kong Qi nodded, indicating that she knew and would deal with it carefully.

She took Erlu into the new world, and she also entered the space, from the space into the tomb.

The bones on the first floor were piled up like a mountain, and the death time of these people was at least a week or more.

They were all ordinary corpses, without any signs of mutation, not monsters or zombies.

She suddenly remembered that when Meng Boyi's men were digging the tomb, they had encountered some evil things.

There were also quite a few dead bodies lying on the stairs going up to the next floor. Judging from the direction of their heads, they were going up, not going out.

Kong Qi didn't really want to step on these corpses. These corpses were all people she had seen before. She stood in the space and yelled more than a dozen times.

If there is a living person, they will at least respond to her, or knock on something to make a movement to respond to her.

However, the entire tomb was silent, she withdrew, Lu Xiangbei used his special ability, manipulated the metal clamps, and clamped the corpses out of the tomb.

The corpses were placed in the open space around the tomb, and after a layer was cleared, Kong Qi sprinkled sand and gravel on the ground.

It took them several hours to clean up the corpses, during which nothing happened. Kong Qi walked up layer by layer and found that all the corpses were upside down.

What are these people going up there for?
Kong Qi became more and more puzzled as she walked, until she reached the top floor and saw the statue.

"Xiangbei, look, isn't that thing thrown by her people?" Kong Qi pointed to the statue and said to Lu Xiangbei.

They watched the scenery outside from the space, and even though they were in a safe place, she felt a chill down her spine.

"There's no one here now, I'll break it to see." Lu Xiangbei motioned Kong Qi to make a hole in the wall of the space.

He used his power to control the metal hammer and smashed the statue.

The statue's body was broken, but the bright stone in its belly was not broken. It was a luminous stone, the size of a fist, and shaped like a fruit core.

"What is this?" Kong Qi wanted to go out to pick up the stone, but then thought of the consequences of her messing with things last time, so she hurriedly stopped.

"Like a peach pit." Lu Xiangbei looked at the stone and said.

"It looks similar, but this thing seems very evil. There is nothing else upstairs. You saw it just now. The corpses are all around it. Are you bewitched by it?"

"The number of people in Xiaomeng's camp does not match the corpses. Only these people were bewitched. Where did the others go?"

"How many corpses are there?" Although Kong Qi hadn't calculated it, she had an approximate figure in her mind. There were hundreds of corpses in the tomb, but there were tens of thousands of survivors in the camp.

She thought that there was something like a secret passage in the tomb, and there might be many people hidden underneath.

But after their inspection, they were sure that there was no such hidden space in the tomb.

"589." Lu Xiangbei replied: "I didn't find Xiaomeng and the supernatural being around her."

"Xiao Meng must have escaped with other people." Kong Qi's words were both speculation and her hope.

Although the corpse was already highly decomposed, the supernatural beings in the Meng Boyi camp all had marks on their bodies, and they would wear nameplates around their necks.

Of the 589 corpses Lu Xiangbei cleaned up, none of them were supernatural beings.

Despite this, Meng Boyi still ran away, and what happened to them might not be solved with supernatural powers.

Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei walked out of the tomb and searched around the camp.

Lu Xiangbei found a false wall, or a camouflaged gate on the rocky mountain wall outside the camp.

He knocked, and there was a sound from inside the door, but no one answered.

Kong Qi used the space again to pass through the door, and there was indeed someone behind the door, and someone they knew, but the other person had a terrified expression, and gently helped the overturned stool up.

Obviously, the sound of their knocking on the door just now scared the man off his stool.

The sound they both heard was the sound of a stool overturning.

This person is a supernatural being next to Meng Boyi, and they had clinked glasses when they had dinner at the grassland camp before.

Kong Qi was worried that he would be frightened, so she instinctively used supernatural powers to attack, so she didn't dare to show up directly, and only opened the air hole in the space to let her voice out.

"I'm Kong Qi, don't be afraid, is Xiao Meng there?"

The people outside suddenly heard someone talking around them, and subconsciously wanted to attack.

The least courageous one confiscated it, spewed out a burst of flame, and did not react until it spewed out. He recognized the voice.

"Is it Boss Kong?" There were two people guarding the gate, and another supernatural being who didn't get off his stool asked.

"It's me, you two calm down."

"Alas, I'm sorry, I just missed it." The fire-breathing superhuman quickly explained.

Only then did Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei walk out of the space, and when the two gatekeepers saw them, their expressions seemed to be seeing a savior.

"Where's Xiao Meng? Why are you hiding here?" Kong Qi asked quickly.

"Boss Kong, brother Lu, don't mention it, we have encountered a strange thing, our boss is bewitched!"

"Ah? Bewitched?" Kong Qi thought about several possibilities, but she didn't expect Meng Boyi to be bewitched.

"Yeah, I've been unconscious for several days, and it's useless to scream, and the doctor can't find out what's wrong. Don't you think you're possessed by evil spirits?"

"That's right, there's that evil image, do you remember? It came back again, so I can't send it away."

After the two said this, Kong Qi asked them to lead the way, and quickly let her see Meng Boyi.

The timid one led the way for her, while Lu Xiangbei and another person walked behind. He wanted to know what happened in the camp.

Kong Qi was eager to see Meng Boyi, so she came to Meng Boyi's 'room' almost at a trot speed.

Their condition here is to live in a cave. The so-called room is just an independent space separated by cloth.

Meng Boyi was lying on the cargo box, walking all the way, Kong Qi understood that this cave was the warehouse of their camp.

There is no furniture for storing things. Meng Boyi's bed is made of cargo boxes, and the desk cabinet is also a cargo box.

There was a water glass on the cabinet. She lay on the bed with her eyes closed and her breathing slow.

Kong Qi stepped forward and called her a few times, but there was indeed no response, and she couldn't wake up after pushing her a few times.

"How did she become like this?" Kong Qi asked the person who brought her here.

"After entering the tomb, we advised her not to go in. She insisted on going in to save others, but she fell down after entering. Fortunately, someone dragged her out with flying claws."

"Just fall when you enter? Are all the people in there like this?"

"That's right, it's like this for anyone who goes in. It's like being sucked into the soul. You didn't go in, did you? You should be more cautious!"

"No, we went in and moved the corpses out."

"What?" The man was so startled that his jaw almost dislocated, and Kong Qi could even hear a click due to the excessive force.

"Are you so surprised? We stayed inside for several hours, nothing happened." Although she and Lu Xiangbei stayed in the space most of the time, there was always room to adjust the height when going to the upper floor.

At least when going up the stairs, she was given the space to walk up by herself.

When the sand and stones were laid, the hole in the wall of the space was about the size of the door. If there were any dangerous substances in the tomb, it must have floated into the space.

"Boss Kong, are you an exorcist?"

"Don't be too imaginative. If I can exorcise demons, why not use 996?"

"That's why the statue ran away, you didn't see it!"

"See, I smashed it to the north. There is indeed something in it. It's a glowing stone, but we didn't take it out."

This person didn't know what to say anymore, what terrified them had no effect on Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei.

The doctor at the camp heard that Kong Qi was coming, so he came out of his "single room" and came over to ask Kong Qi what was going on outside.

Kong Qi told him that she and Lu Xiangbei had found the body in the tomb, had already moved the body out, and smashed the statue, but did not move the stone inside the statue.

The doctor was surprised when he heard it. He had the same idea as the man just now. He could control people and influence the statue. Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei not only approached it, but also smashed it with their hands. It was not affected at all, which made the doctor feel Incredible.

The statue is nothing special, apparently its 'power' is the glowing stone.

"Then have you seen ghosts?" the doctor asked again.

"Ghost? No, what kind of ghost?" Kong Qi had never seen a ghost, either inside or outside the tomb.

At this time, Lu Xiangbei came over, he had already learned about the situation from another supernatural person.

"He's talking about a kind of metal particles that can attack people." Lu Xiangbei explained to Kong Qi on behalf of the doctor.

"What is that?" Kong Qi didn't understand very well.

Lu Xiangbei further explained that it is an unknown metal that gathers in one place and can transform into various shapes, chasing and attacking people.

It was 2 o'clock in the morning when the accident happened, and the survivors in the camp were fast asleep. The night watchmen found someone walking out of their house and heading towards the tomb.

There was nothing there, and the tomb had been emptied long ago, so the night watchmen didn't take it seriously at first.

A few minutes later, another person walked out of his house and went there.

And there were more and more people, and the night watchmen reported the situation upwards.

Survivors in charge of security work went to the tomb to see what these people were doing.

In the end, they never returned. In the middle of the night that day, there were more than 500 people who went to the tomb like sleepwalking, those who were responsible for stopping them, or those who went in and wanted to bring them out.

In the end, Meng Boyi also went in, and just like the other 500 people, she fell to the ground after entering.

Fortunately, the place where she fell was close to the door, and someone outside dragged her out with flying claws.

Then there was a sudden sound from the base of the tomb, and sixteen square holes appeared on all sides of the base, from which unknown metal particles escaped.

Those metal particles gather together first, forming a snake-like shape, crawling and crawling on the ground, biting anyone they see, and being bitten by them, the living person is immediately sucked into ashes.

They don't understand the principle, anyway, they are dying at the touch of a finger, and they are very aware of this.

So no one dared to delay any longer, behind Meng Boyi's back, urged the rest of the survivors to quickly retreat into the warehouse.

They couldn't run out because they thought that the outside would soon be covered by an army of zombies.

We can only hide in the warehouse first, and paste the door tightly to prevent metal particles from getting in.

The farmland and water sources are all outside. Many of them have persisted in the warehouse for seven days, and they are about to run out of ammunition and food.

Meng Boyi fell asleep again, they had no leader, and when they were worrying about what to do, Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei came.

"So I knocked on the door, do you think those metals are knocking on the door?" Kong Qi asked looking at the supernatural being who was scared off by her.

"Yeah, I'm scared to death. I'm afraid they will get in, and then we will have nowhere to escape."

"But we have been outside for several hours, and we haven't seen the thing you mentioned." Kong Qi wondered.
