Global Wasteland: Sanctuary of the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 161 The Ins and Outs of the Zombie World
"There is an extra meal today!"

Immediately after discovering the mouse, a person rushed forward with all his eyes.

Su Mu didn't say anything, and let the man pick up the mouse's body, and then watched the man retreat into the ruins and hide.

A conversation passed into his ears:

"Old Lin couldn't hold it anymore, but this mouse corpse really helped him a lot and allowed him to live for a while longer."

"Why did it suddenly catch fire? It couldn't be caused by a living corpse. Aren't they most afraid of this thing?"

"Who knows, maybe it's the spontaneous combustion of spiritual energy? Or some other supernatural phenomenon? What else is impossible in this world, how can we have the energy to pursue these things now..."

"That's right... I checked it just now, and there are no signs of living corpses around, it's just an inexplicable fire, as long as it doesn't threaten our lives."

"Let's look around for any prey that was accidentally burned to death. Maybe we can have a full meal today."

"it is good."

After the conversation, the two bent their backs and carefully searched the burning area.

Perhaps it was because the wood products were removed by these people and used as fuel, but the fire was actually getting smaller and smaller. When the two of them searched almost, there were still some flames left in the fire, and they were about to be completely extinguished.

Su Mu has been hiding in the dark, observing silently.

He still doesn't know the identities of these people, so he didn't contact them resolutely. After all, his copying consciousness is really weak, and any normal person can easily destroy it.

"These two people seem to have a refuge, let's take a look at their refuge first." Su Mu planned like this.

They didn't make him wait too long, the two searched for a while, and stopped after the fire was completely extinguished.

It's not that they don't want to search anymore, but that with the flames extinguished, there are not enough light sources for them to search.

The lights were so dark that he couldn't even see the moonlight. Su Mu couldn't distinguish things without the help of weak spiritual energy, let alone two ordinary humans.

They turned around, ready to leave here.

The cockroach possessed by Su Mu naturally followed immediately.

It didn't take too long, about 5 minutes, Su Mu watched the two get into a hole.

There are broken stones outside the cave as a cover. When the two drilled in, there was a faint light coming through the cracks in the stones, and it could be seen that there were still many people living inside.

The cockroach possessed by Su Mu easily slipped in from the crevice of the stone.

Even though it was only a 5-minute journey, his cockroach corpse was exhausted. After getting into the hole, it finally couldn't hold it anymore and died.

Su Mu's consciousness emerged from the cockroach corpse, and then looked for a more suitable host as a medium for him to communicate with the world.

Just then, a conversation caught his attention:

"I don't know what caused the fire outside, but there are no living corpses, so there is no threat to us."

"Where is Lao Lin, when I went to check the situation just now, I found a dead mouse. If he ate it, it should be able to hang his life?"

"Old Lin...he just died..."

"Just died?"

In the darkness, a surprised voice sounded.

Then, there was a moment of silence.

"Then let's keep this mouse corpse first, and whoever can't hold it can leave it for him to eat."

"..."

There was another long silence, but there were a few obvious slobbering sounds in the cave. I think the temptation of this mouse corpse to these people is not small.

"Is there a human body that has just died?"

Su Mu's spiritual consciousness began to search, and soon found the body called Lao Lin.

After all, in this cave, except for the dead Lao Lin, no one else's mental strength is considered weak. It is easy to find out who Lao Lin is by observing the strength of mental strength.

After the spirit, that is, the death of consciousness, the human corpse can remain active for a period of time.

Su Mu is possessed by such a corpse, and there is no problem in carrying out short-term activities.

Then, a scene that shocked everyone in the cave appeared.

Under the faint light of the bonfire, Lao Lin, who was originally dead, suddenly sat up alive.

"No, Lao Lin's corpse has changed!" Someone exclaimed immediately, while the rest of them had already clenched their weapons.

The weapons include sticks, rusty long knives, or fire sticks for making fire. Anyway, there are no decent weapons, which shows how hard their life is.

"Don't get excited, I'm not a living corpse." Su Mu hurriedly comforted these people.

Through the eavesdropping just now, he knew that these people called the zombies living corpses, and now that Lao Lin, who he possessed, came back to life after death, he must be regarded as a living corpse by these people.

This is understandable.

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard Lao Lin speak.

They had never seen a living corpse that could speak, and Qi also looked very honest. After sitting up, his face was always calm, and there was nothing crazy in his eyes, but a trace of calmness.

"Who are you?" Soon, someone was the first to react and asked Su Mu.

Su Mu looked at him. This person was the strongest among them, and he seemed to be in good spirits. If nothing else, he should be the person responsible for this underground shelter.

"I came from another world. I am just a spiritual body. I am temporarily using the body of your companion." Su Mu explained briefly, without lying on the key issue.

Later he wanted to ask about the situation in this world. If he said that he was a local, it was obviously unreasonable to ask such a question.

And if you say that you are a person from another world, you don't have this concern.

The people here even saw zombies, even if he said that he was from another world, there would be no unacceptable situation, so he naturally wouldn't have any worries when he said it.

"Come from another world? What do you want to do?" The big man was still very vigilant, but just as Su Mu guessed, he was not too surprised by Su Mu's words, and seemed to accept this statement easily.

"My world is being invaded by the kind of...living corpses you are facing. I am here to check the situation. Do you know how these living corpses appear?" Su Mu hurriedly asked what he had been concerned about for a long time. question.

These people seem to be the aborigines of this world, and they must know the cause and effect of the zombies.

"Is your world being invaded too?" The brawny man relaxed his vigilance a little, and sighed: "It's really some shit..."

"So, how did they appear?" Su Mu hurriedly asked again.

"Can you provide us with food?" The strong man didn't answer, but asked Su Mu another question.

"...Yes." Su Mu nodded: "I can teach you some magic tricks to ripen crops."

"Ripen crops?" The strong man frowned.

The rest of the people in the cave also looked suspicious.

Su Mu didn't speak any more, but let out a bit of aura, and then let a tender grass grow in the ground beside the campfire.

"This is magic?! Isn't this what living corpses do?! You actually know this kind of thing?!"

The strong man was shocked and asked three times.

"This is not magic, but spells... Forget it, you can understand it as the same thing, anyway, they are all means of transcending reality." Su Mu shrugged and gave up the idea of ​​explaining in detail.

His time is running out, and as the possessed corpse gradually rots, his consciousness will soon be squeezed out.

At that time, he can only act with the body of an animal, and the body of an animal cannot communicate directly with this Xiren.

"You just need to know that you can also learn this method, and it can solve your food problem, that's enough." Su Mu said again: "Now, answer my question, what happened here."

"..."

The brawny man was silent for a while, staring at the tender green beside the campfire for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Actually...we don't really know what happened, maybe a few years...or ten years ago? The living corpses suddenly appeared in the city."

"Without any effort, they eliminated the guards of the city lord, and then turned the guards into accomplices, completely spreading in the city."

"I remember very clearly that in one day, it is very difficult to find living people in the whole city."

"What about you?" Su Mu asked, "How did you survive?"

"Because luck is good, there is a well deep in the cave, and it has not dried up until now, and it will provide us with clean water. In the early stage, we survived on the remaining supplies in the city, and in the later stage... we relied on various insects, or It is a ferocious animal that broke into the abandoned city."

After a pause, he glanced at the white patch in the corner and said faintly, "Maybe it's some special food."

Su Mu looked into his gaze, there was a pile of bones, looking at the shape of the bones...he probably knew what happened.

"Originally there were dozens of people in our team, but now there are only a dozen or so left...No, now there are only nine of us left." The strong man said bitterly, "I really don't know how long we can survive."

"I understand." Su Mu nodded.

The situation here was basically consistent with what he had guessed. When he knew that the zombies were plane invaders, he understood the origin of these zombies.

It is definitely not native to this world, but parachuted from another world.

Next, he asked the strong man what the state of the world was like before the zombie outbreak, and he probably had a clue about the progress of the matter.

A few years, or more than ten years ago, the zombie virus suddenly descended on this world from another dimension, paralyzing most of the world's vitality in an instant.

And earlier, there was actually a wave of supernatural invasions, and that was magic!
According to the strong man, about 20 years before the outbreak of the zombie virus, a mysterious means called magic came to this world.

Most of the people who learned magic wore black robes. They possessed supreme means, and soon became the most noble existence in this ancient civilization.

Unfortunately, all this did not last long. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, civilization was instantly destroyed, and all records disappeared.

The noble magicians before became the chief culprits of the accelerated demise of this world, and they were also the ones who gave all the human beings who were infected as zombies in this world the means to use magic, making them even more difficult to deal with.

"That's probably the situation. Do you have anything else to ask?" The strong man asked with a sigh.

"No more." Su Mu shook his head.

This is of course nonsense. In fact, he still has too many questions to ask, but these people don't even know.

Before the outbreak of the zombie virus, they were ordinary people, and they had never been exposed to magic. Many core secrets related to the survival of this world were completely ignorant to them.

It's not easy to explain the general situation of this world before the zombie outbreak, and more... can't be difficult for others.

Su Mu didn't talk nonsense, his spiritual consciousness left Lao Lin's body, and then penetrated into the strong man's brain, leaving him with the method of using the birthing technique and some simple cultivation methods.

As long as they don't encounter large-scale zombies, it is definitely not difficult to survive in this world full of aura.

After doing all this, Su Mu was already exhausted physically and mentally, so he stopped staying in this world too much, and his consciousness returned to the wasteland world.

After the strong man's explanation, although he was still confused about the identities of the zombies, he roughly had some reasonable guesses.

The zombie virus did not erupt suddenly, there was a foreshadowing before that, that was the invasion of magic means!

Although there is spiritual energy in the zombie world, the human beings in that world have not yet developed the corresponding civilization of cultivating immortals, and cannot make good use of these energies.

So the mastermind behind the zombie forces sent some people to this world to teach them magic knowledge.

This can be seen from the memories of zombies of the old zombie level. They were discovered by some mysterious missionaries, and then they were given magical knowledge.

After many people in this world learned magic, the zombie virus came.

The ultimate goal of the zombie forces is to create zombies that can use magic!
It's just that only one person has learned magic. Why do all the zombies know magic now?

This is not a small question. Su Mu didn't answer his message, but he didn't feel that he guessed in the wrong direction.

The real situation should be quite different from what he thought.

So far, he has learned a lot about the ins and outs of the zombie world, but the information about the zombie forces... is still blank.

He still didn't know where these zombies came from, and why they took special care of him.

"Sooner or later, I will figure everything out!" Su Mu looked serious.

At this moment, he received a message from Lin Shiqing: "Master Su, I'm almost here. Is this really your refuge?"
