Corpse Country- Imperial City
[Tai Chi Palace]
In front of the majestic palace, there was a special staircase made of a mixture of yin rock and metal, with a total of 1008 steps.
Two officials with black gauze hats and a fierce beast pattern on the chest of their official robes climbed the steps step by step and knelt in front of the door.
One of them was the governor of the dragon boat. His skinny body was in sharp contrast to the broad physique of the other minister.
First, the other person spoke:
"Your Majesty, the consumption rate of the" locksmith "is increasing day by day. Even if" Corpse Collection "is directly distributed to the surrounding floating islands, the number of zombies supplied can't make up for the increasing consumption.
In addition, the efficiency of the recent "expedition" and "hunting" has significantly decreased.
Your Majesty, please … "
Speaking of this.
An extremely terrifying black gas like the Limitless Burial Hell overflowed crazily, scaring the person.
"Zhu Yan, you can leave."
"… Yes."
Although this person still wanted to say something, considering his life and some other factors, he could only bow his head and retreat.
"Governor Pei, are you also here to explain such boring trifles to me?"
Governor Pei lowered his head and responded in a low voice:
"I'm here to report some things about the floating islands … Although many floating islands have" Corpse Collection "as the foundation and the number of zombies has increased, the quality is uneven.
However, I found a capable person on a small floating island. It defeated the zombie demon raised by the Imperial City on the floating island and successfully transferred the planting machinery on the zombie demon when it turned into a zombie.
At the same time, it obtained double excellent results in the dragon boat assessment.
If it is trained well, it will definitely achieve great things. "
"Such a small matter shouldn't be the reason for your audience, right?"
"Your Majesty, during this trip, I have observed that at least 30 chains have shown a state of tremor beyond the standard.
As the assistant minister said, it may be related to the large loss of the locksmith, or it may be an early warning. "
"You can leave …"
"Yes."
…
Corpse Country- Oil Workshop District
The "cadaverine" needed for ordinary living corpses to evolve into zombies was a material that was further separated and purified by mechanical technology.
Even if the current world was disturbed by the rampagers, there must be a way to evolve. "Cadaverine" was one of the necessary materials.
Apart from this, there were other uses for the remaining corpse oil after extracting the corpse essence.
For example, the indispensable fuel for machinery, essential oils for maintaining the skin of the zombies on the upper levels, or the basic raw materials needed for the secret techniques of the zombies.
Due to its wide range of uses, to the point that every zombie would use it, [Corpse Oil] became the hard currency of the Corpse Kingdom.
The [Oil Workshop District] was the district that was responsible for refining corpse oil. It was responsible for refining, controlling, and transporting corpse oil across the country … Logically speaking, such an important district would have extremely strict supervision.
Indeed, both the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites had their own Monitoring Division here.
However, they only monitored the [Oil] and didn't pay much attention to the [People].
…
Han Dong, who had crawled out of the cemetery, was holding a civilian token that represented his identity.
Since there was no residence, there was no designated area to report to.
Han Dong casually strolled around the oil market district to get a general understanding of this place.
"Oil refineries are really dense. Is this a heavy industry area?"
No wonder the air here is filled with oil molecules … As for the raw materials used to refine corpse oil, they should be the [Zombies] that died in the Corpse Kingdom for various reasons. "
After walking less than two streets, Han Dong saw five steam-powered carts passing by. The large carts carried a large number of zombies from other districts.
Han Dong also discovered through his magic eye that some of the corpses were even wearing official uniforms. The injuries on the surface of the bodies seemed to be caused by fighting with some kind of ferocious beast.
"Are they exploiting the people?"
In addition to this kind of conventional transport carts, Han Dong also noticed some 'small movements' in the oil market district.
The residents living here would privately drag some corpses to the oil refinery to exchange for [Corpse Oil] … Of course, the oil refinery would naturally take a portion of the profits from this kind of private transaction.
Even so, it was still a very good fortune in the hands of the residents.
As for why these residents had corpses, it was caused by the 'local customs'.
"It seems that it is indeed a bit dangerous. Since I came out of the cemetery until now, there are at least 20 malicious gazes … Am I, a newcomer, like a 'moving corpse oil'?
However, for some reason, these guys still don't dare to do anything openly, but it's only a matter of time before they find me. "
Han Dong didn't care and continued to stroll around.
When he detoured from the oil refinery area to the ordinary residential area, the density of oil in the air was significantly reduced. Han Dong also felt a lot more comfortable overall, and his body was no longer greasy.
The ratio of residential buildings to oil refineries was about 1: 9 …
Just as the zombie on the dragon boat said before, the land in the Corpse Kingdom was very expensive, and it was not something that ordinary people could afford.
Most of the residential buildings were owned by peddlers to further exploit the zombies at the bottom.
Most of the buildings were [Double Story] and [Triple Story], and they were also combined with a mechanical style.
When Han Dong walked here, he heard shouts immediately.
"Coffins for sale, all of them are good coffins!
They are set with an internal encryption function. Once the coffin is sealed, it is difficult to directly open it from the outside. It will give you a comfortable and safe sleeping space. "
"Do you want to condense corpse energy and get rid of the identity of a low-level zombie as soon as possible? Zhao Family's Huai Wood Coffin, your best choice! "
Most of the peddlers sold coffins.
There were also a lot of connections involved in this. If you bought a coffin, you would naturally be slightly taken care of by the store. You would be allowed to rest in the coffin in the area near the store. At the same time, it could also serve as an advertisement.
The shop owner would also provide some protection.
If you didn't rely on coffins and just lay on the side of the road to sleep … it was very likely that you would be sold to the oil refinery when you woke up.
Combined with the above situation, the oil refinery area formed a special scene.
The streets and alleys were full of coffins, and the zombies as workers were all lying in their respective coffins to rest.
When they woke up, they would also carry the coffin to work in the oil refinery.
Of course, the price of these coffins was not cheap at all. Most of the workers bought them through loans, and they needed to work in the oil refinery for 10 or even 20 years to repay the loans.
"It's better to stay in the village, why do you have to come out?
However, whether it is the scene on the dragon boat or the situation in the oil refinery here, the zombie country is almost in a situation where the whole country is working … Anyway, it's impossible to work.
Let's sleep first and try to get some money in other ways. "
Han Dong was also a little sleepy.
He hadn't slept on the floating island, and his brain still needed to rest.
Without the help of any coffin, he directly found a relatively flat ground and fell asleep.
Naturally … he was soon targeted by a group of professional corpse pickers, and there was more than one force.
