Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 281 Performance Art
Jiang Si and Zheng Fan walked in the Undead City. The dense Gothic buildings were dotted with things like spiritual fire, but just ordinary lights.

It is obvious that the Undead City has electricity and good infrastructure conditions.

All along the way, he saw various corpses with varying degrees of decay, but intact corpses were indeed rare. At least Jiang Si had not seen any corpse with no signs of decay at all.

Even if some things do not appear to be rotten on the surface, the smell of decay can still be revealed under the cover of clothes.

No wonder Xu Lin’s four young corpses were so sure that Jiang Si was a big shot. The degree of decay was an obvious symbol of strength here.

The corpses here know a lot of things. As different corpses are completed and grow, parts of their bodies will become specialized.

Just like the skin corpse mentioned before.

It is common here for corpses to trade some of their own reproducible enhanced organs with each other.

They can replace the removed parts by suturing ordinary organs, and the replaced ordinary organs will be strengthened after a period of time.

As for ordinary organs, you can purchase them from other corpses, or go out and ask ordinary zombies for them.

It looks like it has a strong taste, and it does have a strong taste visually, but the taste is not that strong. If you don't get close to it, there is basically no bad smell.

After awakening, the corpses still inherited the wonderful hearing and sense of smell they had when they were zombies. After regaining consciousness, especially the sense of smell, they changed from mechanically searching for life to becoming broad again. This also caused serious stench that would cause serious discomfort to the corpses themselves.

It's okay to tolerate your own stench, but it's not polite if the stench spreads everywhere.

And if the rot is too severe, it will attract insects and rats, which is not a good thing.

Therefore, in the Undead City, anti-corrosion technology is also a hot topic.

Not only the organ market needs preservation, but many corpses themselves also need preservation. Although the decay process will become very slow after they awaken from ordinary zombies, it does not mean that it will stop. If their progress cannot keep up with the decay speed, they will turn into dry bones sooner or later.

But now there is no rigid requirement for progress. The already slow decay process, coupled with the ingenious preservatives used in the Undead City, means that even if the corpses waste themselves to death, they still cannot wait for the time to decay naturally.

Jiang Si attracted a lot of attention as he walked on the road.

After all, Jiang Si not only didn't have the slightest smell on his body, but instead smelled fragrant.

For humans, the "body odor" is only noticeable when you get close, but for corpses it is very obvious.

Jiang Si didn't care, but asked about the method of returning that Zheng Fan had mentioned before.

"Binary Sister gave two methods. One is to arrange a ritual around you, manually triggering the overlap of this world and the red world. Then you return to the red world first, and then return to Dadu through the red world."

"Where's the other one?"

"The other method still requires a ceremony, but it's much simpler. It releases a signal coordinate. Then let Dayun receive it, and I can directly drive Dayun to find you."

After listening, Jiang Si thought for a while: "Exposing the coordinates may make this world a target of the great forces."

She had heard about some of the things that Dadu did, and could only say that they were very aggressive.

Although she was new to this world and had no problem with it, and didn't feel any burden for causing harm here, she felt that it was a huge loss to let Dadu make money.

After all, it was some stupid system in the capital that banished her here.

"It is indeed possible, but they receive a lot of signals every day, and they may not target this place. But if you really don't want to, then you can go through a transfer, which is a little troublesome." Zheng Fan understood her thoughts. It was really uncomfortable to let others make money for no reason.

There was no need to specially collect the ritual materials. Zheng Fan's wealth ability could directly handle the trivial tasks of completing the task. After Lin Yilin showed the materials to Zheng Fan, Zheng Fan was aware of the need to spend money to "buy" them. However, the other conditions of the ritual were not so simple. For example, the signaling ritual required going to the highest point within a range. If it was held in the Undead City, one had to climb up to the tower.

I wonder if the "tax collector" would allow them to hold a ceremony standing on top of it.

As well as the rituals that actively trigger the overlap of violent worlds, fresh blood and large-scale violence. It's not difficult in Dadu, but it's difficult in this world.

The main thing is fresh blood. Where can we find enough fresh blood in this world of corpses? Even adding dried ginger and pig blood is not enough. I don’t know if large-scale violent acts that provoke zombies count.

After counting them in detail, Zheng Fan thought the ritual method was easy when he first got it from Lin Yilin, but on second thought, it was really lacking in every aspect.

If Lin Yilin came by herself, it wouldn't be so troublesome, and she could just do some performance art or some dancing. But she wanted to take the ceremony out of her hands and give it to someone else to perform, so it was inevitable to increase the stakes.

"It seems that we have been somewhat unlucky recently." Jiang Si said as he sat by the fountain in the middle of a small square.

"Maybe it's the karma from killing too many people."

"It's a little funny that Mr. Devil said this."

"Haha, let me laugh."

"…Then let's stay here for a while. I'm quite curious about the things in this world, but I'm not in a hurry to go back."

Jiang Si looked at some corpses whose organs were being sold, wondering if he could do some himself, or learn from their experience.

"Let's go to that tower and take a look." Zheng Fan spoke up. Facing Jiang Si's puzzled gaze, he explained, "I'm a little curious about what that spiritual element is. If it is a factor form of this world, I wonder what kind of help it can bring to me."

Zheng Fan has not forgotten his ability to transform various world factors.

Hearing this, Jiang Si had no objection and stood up and walked towards the tower.

Halfway through the journey, a noisy sound came from the avenue ahead.

"Are there any special activities?" Jiang Si did not stop and leaned forward. It could be said that he was a little slow in this regard.

Whoa!

A flash of white lightning flashed before my eyes. A tall and burly weirdo with stitches all over his body controlled the lightning and raised his hands in the middle of a team. "I am a corpse too! A stitched corpse is also a corpse! Respect our rights!"

Tables, chairs, pots, pans, and bowls made a harsh clanging sound as they flew past us, smashing into the bodies that were blocking the way in front of the large group to maintain order. A gust of cold wind blew, and the temperature of the streets, which was already low, seemed to drop even lower. A shout could be heard from somewhere: "Spirit bodies are also bodies! Our voices should be heard in the Undead City!"

"Demons are also spirits. They cannot be seen or touched. Hallucinations are spirits!" There was also a corpse mixed in the team, shouting some nonsense.

The scene was truly confusing.

Jiang Si squatted down in time to avoid a chair flying over his head: "It's really a carnival?"

Zheng Fan said in surprise: "As a doomsday stronghold city, isn't this version of the Undead City a bit too exciting?"

The bodies blocking the procession and the messy formation, and at the end, there was an illusion mixed in from time to time? I let it slip.

A corpse held down several stitched corpses and cursed: "The Undead City is ruled by Lord Eldridge alone. What the hell are you guys yelling about?"

This corpse really hits the nail on the head, so everyone here is really just doing performance art, right?
