Chapter 529

The leg in the monk's hand was already swollen from soaking in the hot spring pool. Recalling that the three of them had been soaking in this hot spring pool before, Su Bai felt disgusted. However, he could only blame the arrangement of the horror broadcast for entering the story world this time. It was too seamless. If not for the touch of this leg, the three of them, who were enjoying themselves, might have soaked for a long time before they realized that the scene had changed.

"It's a barren mountain outside. There's only this wooden house and hot spring pool."

Su Bai put on his bathrobe. The white bathrobe and the hotel room slippers were all the three of them had on. Tyrant's things and Gyatso's chopper were left in the hotel room.

When Tyrant and Gyatso came out of the hot spring pool, they turned into three men in bathrobes.

"Now, I think our top priority is to find a set of clothes." Gyatso pointed at the bathrobe he was wearing and said.

Indeed, it was inappropriate to wear a bathrobe in the story world. When there was a fight, the bathrobe might fall off or fall off, exposing his private parts. That would be too embarrassing.

"Yes." Tyrant agreed. As a monk, he wasn't used to leaving his kasaya. Moreover, he was only wearing a modern bathrobe. It was fine for him to take a bath or swim for a short period of time. If he were to wear it for a long period of time, he might not be able to stand it.

"Let's walk around and take a look. I think there should be a village nearby. We should be able to gather some information about this story world. Of course, the most important thing is to get a set of clothes." Su Bai pushed the wooden door open and walked out after he finished speaking.

"Hiss …"

After walking out, even though Su Bai's two physiques leaned towards the Yin and Cold attribute, he still felt that the temperature was a little cold. It seemed like it was either late autumn or early winter. Moreover, they were in the mountains.

Tyrant and Gyatso also walked out. Both of them had good physiques. Although they also felt cold, it wasn't too much of an effect. It was only at the stage of sensory perception.

Out of the hot spring cabin, there was a mountain road. It didn't look like it was man-made, but more like a natural road formed by natural conditions. In fact, from the era and style of the cabin, it could be seen that the background of this era should not be modern. In fact, many years after the reform and opening up, China began to pay attention to the development of tourism resources, and then began to promote the infrastructure of scenic spots.

Three men in white bathrobes and slippers walked on the mountain road. This was probably the strangest beginning of the story world that Su Bai had ever experienced. Fortunately, the awkward situation didn't last too long. Soon, Su Bai saw a light not far below them. It should be a village.

"It's a long time," Tyrant said. "That light is from a candle, not an electric light."

"Since the story world is called 'Mr. Zombie', the setting can't be too modern. Otherwise, I don't think there are many zombies that can withstand the bombardment of an RPG," Su Bai said.

Tyrant nodded. "Let's keep going. It's not far." Tyrant looked at Gyatso behind him. "Are you alright?"

Gyatso smiled. "Other than the cold, I'm fine."

Just as the three of them were about to cross the mountain to the village below, they suddenly heard the sound of hooves.

"There's someone." Su Bai quickly looked at Tyrant.

"Hide first." The monk quickly made a decision. The three of them immediately jumped into the grass by the roadside and crouched down together. Fortunately, the grass was tall and dense, enough to hide their bodies. There was no moon tonight, and the light at night was not good. So even if the three of them were wearing white bathrobes, they were not very conspicuous.

Seven knights rode over on horses. All of them were armed with weapons. They looked very heroic and had an extremely primitive and barbaric aura.

However, all seven of them had a small braid at the back of their heads.

The place where Su Bai and the other two were hiding wasn't very far from the seven knights. Su Bai tilted his head slightly and mouthed to Tyrant, "Qing Army."

The armor and the symbolic braid at the back of their heads were obviously the attire of the Qing Army.

In recent years, many of the popular Qing Dynasty dramas in China followed the path of idols and romance. Therefore, many changes were made that were not in line with history. The most obvious change was a major feature of Qing Dynasty dramas — the braid.

In fact, the whips of the people of the Qing Dynasty did not have a yin yang head style. For example, the hairstyle of Zhang Guoli and Zhang Tielin in 'Iron Teeth, Copper Teeth Ji Xiaolan' only appeared in the later period of Qianlong Emperor Qianlong. The normal braid hairstyle was to shave most of the hair on the top of the head, leaving only a small circle at the back of the head. Then, the braid would be tied into a small braid. From the point of view of modern people, it was very comical and ugly. Of course, if this kind of TV drama were to be based on history, it was likely that many young male idols would not dare to accept the role.

Su Bai didn't have a deep understanding of history, but he knew a little. He couldn't see the details of the armor clearly in the dark, but it should be blue. He didn't know whether it was from the Bordered Blue Flag or the Plain Blue Flag.

The seven Qing cavalrymen didn't stay here for too long. They directly spurred their horses forward. Obviously, they were sentries to explore the way.

Su Bai, the monk, and Gyatso continued to hide in the grass and didn't come out. About five minutes later, another group of people came over. It was a carriage with two cavalrymen in front and a group of armored soldiers on both sides. There should be some noble people in the carriage, so the previous group of cavalrymen was really to explore the way.

After the carriages passed by, the three people who had been hiding in the grass for almost a quarter of an hour came out.

Their white bathrobes were stained with a layer of green because of the rubbing in the grass.

"It seems to be the Qing Dynasty. I just don't know where this place is, and I don't know the specific era."

Before the Qing army entered the pass, they had established their regime outside the pass for many years. Later, due to the civil strife of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army successfully entered the pass and took control of the Central Plains. Therefore, it was difficult to rely on the group of people in front of them to obtain too much detailed background information of the story world.

"Amitabha. I think we have entered the pass. This is not outside the pass," Monk said. "But let's find clothes first."

The three of them didn't continue to follow the carriages back. Instead, they went down the mountain. After walking for another half an hour, the village was finally in front of them. However, when they were about a hundred meters away from the entrance of the village, Monk and Gyatso raised their hands and signaled for them to stop.

Su Bai shrugged. With two professionals around, he could indeed relax a lot.

"There is resentment, and it is very strong," Monk said.

"Yes, someone just died, and a lot of them." Gyatso's eyes focused. "I can smell fresh blood."

"Does this mean that the existence in front of us has been killed?" Su Bai squatted on the ground, pinched a grass stalk, and put it in his mouth. He had no clothes, so naturally, he didn't have any cigarettes. At this moment, Monk and Gyatso were analyzing the situation in front of them. Su Bai, who had nothing to do, was actually thinking about what to do if he were to stay in this story world for a long time. What if he got addicted to smoking? Should he look for a hookah?

Soon, Gyatso and Monk began to walk towards the village again. Sometimes, there was no other choice, and the most important thing was to get clothes.

Su Bai also stood up and followed.

After entering the village, the smell of blood was even stronger, and it was even … a little choking.

In the village, corpses could be seen everywhere. Some were at the entrance, some were by the wall, and some were by the well. There were men, women, young and old. It was likely that the entire village had been slaughtered, and the time interval was not long.

Monk flipped the corpse of the old man at the entrance to take a look. "He was killed by a sword, not a zombie."

"I'm going to look for clothes in the house. Otherwise, I will have to strip the clothes of the dead to wear."

Gyatso and Monk continued to search for clues nearby. Su Bai entered a room with lit candles. There was no wardrobe in the room, but there was a cabinet. The cabinet wasn't locked. Su Bai opened the cabinet, and there were indeed some clothes inside. They were a little shabby and had a moldy smell. However, this was not the time to be picky. After all, compared to the bathrobe and the clothes of the dead, these clothes were considered good.

Just as Su Bai took out the clothes and threw them on the bed, a subtle sound came from under the bed. Su Bai stopped what he was doing and reached out for a hoe that was leaning against the wall. Then, he quietly moved his feet.

The bed was a very simple wooden bed. Su Bai took a deep breath and kicked the wooden bed over. A figure jumped up from below. Without hesitation, Su Bai smashed the hoe down.

"Bang!"

The back of the person's head was smashed by Su Bai. Then, his body twitched and lay on the ground. Soon, he was motionless, and a pool of red and white blood splattered all over.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of Monk and Gyatso. Su Bai threw the hoe on the ground and picked up the clothes. He threw them to Gyatso and Monk respectively and said:

"There is a corpse here that has been zombified."

Monk took the clothes that Su Bai handed over and examined the zombified corpse. Then, he turned his head and looked at Su Bai. He hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"Amitabha, he should have been a living person before."

PS: The weapon that Su Bai wanted to exchange for is "Hellfire Shotgun". The correct way to type it should be "Shotgun". However, after typing this word, it will be blocked. So, if this word appears again in the future, type it as "Shotgun". So be it. Most people are used to saying "Shotgun" anyway, so it doesn't affect the reading experience.
