In the conversation with Zhao Qing, the butler.
Han Dong and Dr. Swollen had a preliminary understanding of the Tomb World.
The first thing they talked about was the concept of "floating island." As the name implied, it was an island floating in the air. As for the principle of floating, it was unknown for the time being.
The village and the tomb mountain where Han Dong woke up were all on a floating island, and there were thousands of similar islands. This was just a small or even a miniature floating island.
But the butler didn't know the situation outside the floating island.
According to him, anyone who knew what was going on in the outside world was long gone.
The only way to get to the outside world was the Dragon Boat.
Every six months, the dragon boat would come here once. If there were zombies in the village, they would be given the opportunity to leave by the dragon boat after a series of tests. This was the reason why the former village chief wanted to zombify at all costs.
The boat ticket meant that the individual could smoothly leave this remote mountain village and go to a new world.
In addition.
Han Dong also heard a very interesting message from the butler.
There was not only one way to zombify. In addition to using the steam technology brought by the Dragon Boat to refine corpse oil.
Zombification could also be achieved through self-cultivation.
This kind of cultivation required a copy of "Corpse Collection", which was also a piece of information given by the Dragon Boat.
It was said that when the total number of zombies in the village exceeded ten, the Dragon Boat would provide the village with a copy of "Corpse Collection".
The villagers could cultivate the corpse energy in their bodies according to the cultivation method recorded in the book and achieve zombification through cultivation.
This was also the reason why zombies would appear on some medium and large floating islands every once in a while.
However.
"Corpse Essence" and "cultivation" were equally important. If one achieved zombification through cultivation in the early stage, they also needed to replenish enough corpse essence later.
As for the reason for the steam technology and zombification in the village, as Han Dong guessed, it was all brought by the Dragon Boat.
…
The next evening.
A group of people left the village from the main entrance and went up the hillside.
One of the shadows would involuntarily jump every two steps … It seemed to have something to do with the body's instinct.
"The zombie movies in the motherland didn't lie to me! After zombification, the body will spontaneously let the legs move at the same time. Naturally, it evolved into a kind of knee jump … Let's just go with the flow. "
Han Dong's brain was completely capable of correcting this' flaw '.
But considering the world's background and the needs of his identity, he gradually accepted this setting … While climbing up the mountain, he gradually abandoned the way he walked and switched from jumping to regular movement.
He had two purposes for coming up the mountain this time.
Firstly, he wanted to see the edge of the Sky Island at the end of the tomb mountain. Secondly, he wanted to fight for a chance for Dr. Swollen to turn into a zombie.
The second point was especially important.
There was still more than a day before the arrival of the dragon boat. He had to get a ticket for Dr. Swollen. Otherwise, he would have to wait for another half a year.
The corpse essence that could be used to transform zombies in the village was basically squeezed dry by the former village chief. The only way to collect it was from the back mountain.
The housekeeper, Zhao Qing, was in charge of leading the way with a paper lantern.
According to him, there was a monster in the depths of the mountain that even the former village chief was afraid of.
In order to eliminate his worries, the former village chief would bring a group of able-bodied villagers every once in a while, equipped them with mechanical equipment provided by steam technology, and head to the back of the mountain to fight monsters.
Every time, only the village chief managed to escape. The rest of the villagers were all dead.
"Housekeeper Zhao, is there some kind of zombie hiding in the back of the mountain?"
"The former village chief forbade anyone to talk about this matter. Even I don't know … I just roughly know the location of the monster hiding in the back of the mountain."
"Interesting."
The deeper they went into the back of the mountain, the more the lantern in the housekeeper's hand shook.
Although there was a question he had asked twice, he still asked after thinking about it, "The dragon boat will come to the village tomorrow. Young master has successfully transformed into a zombie. It's a matter of time before you board the dragon boat … Why don't we just forget about such a dangerous thing?"
"Do you want to be the village chief?" Han Dong suddenly threw out a question.
"Ah … Who doesn't want to? Haha. "The housekeeper giggled.
"This time, if we succeed, my father and I will both transform into zombies. When we leave the village tomorrow, you will be the village chief … If we all die, you will also be the village chief. Isn't that good?"
"That's right … No, no!
If you can be taken away by the dragon boat, the village will get a lot of materials and technical support. Young master, you are the hope of the whole village. "
Han Dong just smiled and put his heavy palm on the housekeeper's shoulder.
"You just need to take us to a similar place, then you can go back to the village … You must prepare for tomorrow's [Dragon Boat Ceremony]. My father and I will be back on time."
A strong pressure spread from his palm into the housekeeper's body.
This kind of strong pressure was far beyond that of the former village chief. If the housekeeper's organs could still function normally, he should have peed by now.
"… Okay."
After passing through the burial area, they continued to walk in the mountain forest.
The trees here were exposed to the highly toxic air for a long time. A large amount of bark tissue similar to pustules grew on the surface of the trees, and foul liquid constantly flowed out from the inside.
Even if Han Dong's zombie body accidentally touched it, it would immediately emit white smoke, and grain-sized holes would be corroded on the hard body.
"If you keep going deeper, you should be able to see a cave … The monster is inside."
"Okay, you can go."
"Okay …"
Housekeeper Zhao's escape speed was absolutely first-class. He left the forest area in a flash.
"Doctor, open your perception. Inform me immediately if anything happens."
"Okay."
[Full Perception]
Doctor Swollen, who was recognized as a high-end brain class [Migo] by the second source — Pope, showed a strange form when his perception was fully opened.
Tentacles with a 'sulcus' structure immediately drilled out from the ears, nose, and mouth, achieving the effect of radar.
At the same time.
The protruding spine also had a symmetrical growth of sulcus tentacles. It could be seen that the doctor was quite skilled in controlling the body … Even with this strange corpse, he could achieve 100% control.
"Lord, this way!"
Under the doctor's perception, he quickly found the cave that Housekeeper Zhao spoke of.
"What a heavy corpse aura!" Wisps of gray and black smoke were visible to the naked eye from the cave entrance.
"Doctor, don't force yourself later. The things here may be really difficult to deal with … You are mainly responsible for providing me with spiritual assistance."
"Okay, but … Can the housekeeper's words really be trusted?"
"He did lie in some places, but because of the lies, the level of interest here is higher.
The former village chief avoided talking about the things here, and every once in a while, he would bring people to 'crusade.'
But he was the only one who survived, and he wasn't even injured. Isn't it a bit strange? I'm afraid that what's going on here isn't some 'crusade,' but worship.
The former village chief was very afraid of the things here. Every once in a while, he would bring a group of villagers to feed them, in the way of providing food to stabilize the things here.
The reason why the village chief tried so hard to get a ticket, even suppressing the villagers' 'corpse essence', is because he wants to leave this floating island quickly … If the things here are not satisfied with the feeding, the village will suffer a disaster. "
