The area of the village was larger than Han Dong expected.
The highly developed steam technology and the down-and-out village structure presented a sharp contrast … It was as if this technology was imported from the outside.
The corpse's corresponding 'Huang Family' seemed to have a relatively high status in the village.
So much so that a man who claimed to be the village chief took the initiative to be a guide and briefly introduced the situation of the village. After all, the two hadn't come back for two hundred years.
The man was a 'corpse' whose chin was completely replaced by a machine. His body was thin, even less than 1.3 meters, and he was holding a paper lantern in his hand.
However.
According to Han Dong's observation, this person's footsteps were very light, and he didn't leave any footprints on the village path. This kind of lightness also represented some characteristics of speed.
In addition, Han Dong also found some details in the village.
Except for a few corpses who were full of 'vitality' like the man, the rest of the villagers showed a low and powerless image, similar to the image of foreign zombies. Even the most basic walk seemed to be soft and powerless.
"Master Si, your back is really good! Obviously, it's the result of long-term deep burial.
Your young master's nails are also good, almost half the thickness of the village chief's nails, and the color is unusually bright … As expected of the Huang Family.
In a few days, there will be a [Dragon Boat] coming. You can try it, maybe you will be selected. "
"Selected?" Han Dong looked puzzled.
"It seems that the young master's brain hasn't fully recovered.
But it doesn't matter, you will naturally know when the time comes … The Dragon Boat is a big event, and the village chief will also go in person, hahaha! "
When talking about this matter, the man's mechanical chin kept opening and closing, making a stiff laugh.
After a while, a decaying ghost house appeared in front of them, and the word [Huang] could be clearly seen on the plaque in front of the door.
There were only a few two-story houses with a front yard in the whole village.
The village chief's servant was also responsible and immediately brought a group of ordinary villagers to Master Huang as new servants. There were a total of six men and women, and some of them were missing arms, legs, or intestines.
"These corpses with incomplete bodies belong to the lowest level of village servants. They can be bought directly at the market in the center of the village … I will directly arrange it for Master Huang, so you don't have to run errands.
They should be able to take care of the chores in your house. "
Fourth Master Huang, who was played by the doctor, immediately refused.
"Not for the time being. My son and I have just woken up, and we don't want to be disturbed by others for the time being … Let's stay here for a few days before we consider the matter of servants."
"You're right. I was thinking too much.
Have a good rest, I won't disturb you … But there's one thing I hope you two can keep in mind. The village chief is recuperating and it's not convenient for him to see anyone.
If you have any questions, you can look for me directly. Don't disturb the village chief. "
"Alright."
"Then I won't disturb your rest."
After saying that, a burst of miasma spread out.
The man with the paper lantern disappeared.
However, this kind of camouflage couldn't escape Han Dong's eyes … The miasma came from the servant's corpse and was released through the swelling on the surface of the body.
The moment the miasma enveloped his body, he quickly jumped and landed on a tile-roofed house more than ten meters away.
"There's something wrong with this person. He even wants to plant spies around us. On the surface, he pretends to be very enthusiastic, but in reality, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeves … What do you think, doctor? "
The doctor habitually put his finger into his ear and scratched his brain. "Well … Maybe it's related to the upcoming [Dragon Boat].
Lord, why don't you rest here and I'll go collect information?
According to what that guy said just now, my status in the village should be relatively high. I should be able to get some information. "
Doctor Swollen was completely a loyal worker in front of Han Dong. He always wanted to work for his boss.
"Don't worry. Since this group of people has ideas about us, it's better to stay together … Maybe there's a lot of information and secrets hidden in the Huang Mansion.
Let's stay here first. "
"Okay."
…
The man who was responsible for leading the way had turned back in the first place.
There was a sickly smile on his rotten face.
They returned to the village chief's mansion through a secret back door. This was also the only three-story building in the village. It had a mountain-style roof made of metal tiles and a giant chimney.
It looked like a mansion, but also like a private workshop.
When the man bypassed the winding passages and reached the bottom floor, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew and extinguished the lantern in his hand.
In front of him was a square secret room.
There was a metal mechanism in the corner. Four iron chains suspended a black coffin in the air … The air was filled with a fishy smell, as if a sumptuous feast had just been held here.
"Village chief, Master Huang and his son actually came back to life at this time. It's really incredible.
I just received them at the village entrance. Master Huang's spine is quite exquisite. I have never seen such a transparent and pale exposed spine. The whole body also exudes a strong corpse smell.
His son's fingernails are also quite thick and black … However, they seem to be a little wary of me. They didn't even ask for the servants I arranged in advance.
Do you need to do it tonight? "
"Trash!"
A roar came out.
With just a roar, the man was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall and trembling.
"Who asked you to arrange servants? Master Huang was very cunning when he was alive. Don't you know what the village is like now? The villagers' [Corpse Element] has been basically squeezed dry by me. Even if this cunning old man hasn't returned to the village for a long time, he must have noticed something unusual.
Quickly monitor the Huang Family for me and make sure they stay in the house. "
"Yes … Yes …"
"However, the information you brought back is not bad … If Master Huang can fill in the last gap for me, I can get the [Boat Ticket].
This is my last chance, and also your last chance.
After I digest the remaining corpse element in my body, I will go find the father and son tonight … Quickly monitor them. "
"Yes!"
The man scrambled away, his expression was incomparably panicked.
Lying in the black coffin, the village chief's whole body was covered with strange white hair. With the absorption of some substance, the hair gradually retracted into the body. Two fangs that were emitting black gas hung at the corner of his mouth.
"The heavens are really helping me. Seeing that there is not much corpse element left for me to absorb, I didn't expect Master Huang to wake up at this time … The Huang Family is the first batch. The corpse energy that has been accumulating for two hundred years is naturally different.
It's about time, I will go see this old friend later. "
Boom!
The coffin lid that weighed a hundred pounds directly exploded with a burst of black gas.
The two meter tall "corpse" fell to the ground in an upright manner with both arms raised horizontally … This image was simply like a [Zombie] in the movies.
