Chapter 39: Zombies
Xiao Ruobing still had some foundation. After being pulled over by Ji Wenyu, she quickly calmed down. She shrugged and stood up straight. She did not completely lose her combat power, but she was still nervous in her heart when facing the unknown things in front of her.
Ji Wenyu's condition was not much better than Xiao Ruobing. He seemed to be silent on his face, but in fact he was already extremely frightened. It was not that he didn't want to escape, but that his legs and feet were a little out of control, so he could only stand in place to respond to changes. Both of them were afraid, but neither of them ran away. If one of them screamed and ran away, the other would definitely run faster.
The pile of corpses below was moving slowly. Suddenly, a corpse above seemed to be pushed away by someone. He rolled out a long distance. Before Xiao Ruobing could see why the corpse was gone, another corpse among the pile of corpses stood up straight.
The corpse was standing there, without any movement for a long time. However, this series of accidents shocked Ji Wenyu and Xiao Ruobing. They couldn't help but take several steps back and stared at the standing corpse. Fortunately, the two of them came together and were able to enhance each other's courage. If one person had encountered this situation, he would have been scared to death.
Xiao Ruobing grabbed the corner of Ji Wenyu's clothes, his teeth trembled, and said, "What... is this?"
Ji Wenyu said: "We probably encountered the legendary zombie."
"Zombies? There are really zombies in the world? But how can there be zombies here?" Xiao Ruobing said in a lost voice, his tone full of disbelief.
It’s not that Xiao Ruobing doesn’t believe Ji Wenyu’s words, this incident is really incredible. In Xiao Ruobing’s mind, zombies are fictional and exist only in movies, TV or literary works, but he never thought that he would meet one day.
In fact, Ji Wenyu didn't believe it before. He also read the spiritual book left by General Lei, and based on the situation he saw in front of him, he determined that the corpse in front of him was the legendary zombie.
General Lei’s spiritual book records that all things can be cultivated with spirits. In addition to human cultivators, there are many kinds of demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, spiritual cultivators, etc. Among them, ghost cultivators are mainly divided into two categories: one is ghosts, who mainly cultivates the souls, and the other is zombies, who mainly cultivate the body. Because of this, zombies are generally weak in the souls, but their bodies are extremely strong, which is better than the body refining demon cultivators of the same level.
The most common zombie is the one in front of you. It has just transformed from a corpse into a zombie, and its skin color has not begun to change. Its strength is equivalent to the level of the zombie among monks. This kind of zombie is not of high level. As long as you overcome the fear in your heart, ordinary warriors and even ordinary people can deal with it with powerful guns, except monks.
Ordinary zombies can evolve. Once they break through the bottleneck, they will evolve into black iron-armored zombies, or even blue copper-armored zombies, which are equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage among monks. It is said that there are white silver-armored zombies and golden golden-armored zombies, whose strength is comparable to that of the Golden Pill and Nascent Soul monks, but they are all legendary and are rarely seen.
The zombie in front of her seemed to have just been transformed, with a very low grade, which is equivalent to two or three levels of the Mai Kai Realm. Ji Wenyu could not deal with it. If Xiao Ruobing could overcome the fear in her heart, she should be able to deal with it with her strength of dark energy.
It also depends on Xiao Ruobing's efforts. Faced with her questions, Ji Wenyu patiently explained: "If the corpse does not rot for a long time, it will turn into a zombie by chance. I guess this zombie should have been transformed from the corpse on the ground."
Ji Wenyu's explanation not only did not eliminate Xiao Ruobing's fear, but instead shocked her and said, "Is it the corpses on the ground that turned into? We found at least ten corpses along the way. Wouldn't we be surrounded by zombies in a while?"
Ji Wenyu smiled bitterly and said, "The conditions for the generation of zombies are extremely harsh. It would be nice to have one. How could so many of them be born in one go?"
Ji Wenyu said this to comfort Xiao Ruobing. The conditions for the birth of zombies are indeed very harsh, but once a zombie is born, as his strength increases, the corpse gas leaks, and the surrounding corpses will gradually infect the surrounding corpses, causing more and more zombies here.
A truly powerful zombie can even directly catalyze a large number of living people around it into zombies, which is terrifying. However, the zombie in front of you is obviously just born, and the corpse energy on your body is not enough to affect other corpses, so his words are not completely wrong.
Whether it is deception or comfort, Ji Wenyu's words made Xiao Ruobing feel much more at ease. No matter what, a zombie is always easier to deal with than a group of zombies.
Seeing that Xiao Ruobing gradually eliminated his fear, Ji Wenyu said again: "The strength of this zombie is equivalent to that of a Mingjin warrior. It is much worse than yours, so I will leave it to you to deal with it."
"Why me?" Xiao Ruobing was dissatisfied.
Xiao Ruobing originally thought that Ji Wenyu was just an ordinary person, but Ji Wenyu brought her countless surprises along the way. I won’t talk about breaking the formation. Now, not only can I know zombies, but I can even see through the strength of zombies. This is obviously a hidden paradise.
Now she was not sure how many unknown methods Ji Wenyu still had. She said this and wanted to further see how Ji Wenyu's true strength was.
I can't admit that I can't beat this zombie, right? I'm so embarrassed? Ji Wenyu wasn't fooled by her and said, "Since we are looking for treasure together, you can't just hide behind and be lazy. Look, I understand the formation and know the zombies. I'm working hard all the way, so these hard-working lives will naturally belong to you."
Xiao Ruobing instinctively seemed to fight back, but thinking about it, he said it was right. He seemed to have made no contributions along the way, and he was almost always dragging his feet. At this time, he should do his own efforts. Ji Wenyu is obviously a master, and he naturally has the demeanor of a master. How can he do these hard work? He should do such small things by himself. Only when he can't handle it, he should take action.
After understanding this, Xiao Ruobing no longer struggled with this and rushed towards the zombie on guard. At this time, the zombie had turned her head and saw the two strangers in the cave. Her bloodthirsty instinct had awakened, so she leaped her body and met Xiao Ruobing.
Although the zombie in front of him was weak, she also had a strong corpse energy on her body. Ji Wenyu was afraid that Xiao Ruobing would be injured rashly, so he reminded him later: "Be careful, don't let the zombie hurt you, otherwise it will be very troublesome to deal with it."
He also knew that he cared about me and said that it was very troublesome to treat wounds. He listened to this with a master's demeanor. He must not let the master underestimate him. Thinking of this, Xiao Ruobing worked harder.
