Under the wrinkled, dark skin, there seemed to be no trace of fat. The knuckles were extremely prominent. The ring finger of this hand seemed to have been broken before, hanging limply downward. Vaguely, one could see a ring - shaped mark on it, with a color obviously different from the rest of the skin.
Immediately afterwards, a second hand reached out from the wall.
The third, the fourth...
The sixth!
After all six hands had fully extended from the wall, the wall could no longer conceal the horror within.
The gravel scattered all over the ground. Three intact mummies suddenly appeared before their eyes.
Two adults and one child, one man and two women.
Everyone present was already so frightened that they didn't know what to do. They stood there stunned, unable to make any sound or move.
"Ah!!!"
Zhao Tang was the first to be unable to suppress the panic in her heart and let out a scream.
This scream seemed to awaken everyone's senses. They all stepped back in unison, trying to get as far away from the mummies as possible.
"What the hell is this? Zombies?!"
Yu Sheng was also seeing such a shocking scene for the first time, and inevitably showed a panicked and helpless expression.
The current situation was completely different from the previous encounters with ghosts.
The ghosts they had seen before could move and communicate. Yu Sheng had never seen a corpse, let alone such a terrifying one.
The impact of this scene was really too great.
"Zombies don't look like this. Zombies have hair on their bodies. These three are mummies. Second brother, how come you don't even know this? You should read more books in the future."
Nian Nian answered very seriously, sounding like an old academic popularizing knowledge from a professional perspective.
Of course, her disdain was also genuine.
After so long, the second brother still showed no progress.
Well...
Yu Sheng somehow felt that he wasn't as scared anymore.
He even felt like he was gaining some knowledge?
Clatter!
As the last brick fell off, the three mummies actually took steps at the same time and walked down from above.
Then the three mummies simultaneously swayed their heads back and forth twice.
Although there were only two dark holes left in the mummies' eye sockets, others just felt that they seemed to be staring and sizing them up.
"H... How can they move?"
Hearing Nian Nian's new question, Xiao Tuan Zi patiently took on the role of a science - popularizing expert.
"Because they're not completely dead yet. People always have a last breath before they die. If there's no resentment, this breath will be exhaled after death, and they'll become a complete corpse. But if there's resentment and this breath can't get out, it's very easy for a corpse to change. Most zombies are formed like this."
"But didn't you say they're mummies?"
Yu Sheng showed a panicked expression.
So what exactly were these three monsters in front of them?
"Hmm~"
Nian Nian's tone rose slightly. Her eyes were full of interest, and her bright pupils seemed to have seen something interesting and beloved.
"Actually, I'm also very curious about why they've become like this."
The three mummies in front of her were creatures she had never seen before.
Sure enough, coming down the mountain was really eye - opening!
It seemed that the formation conditions were indeed the same as those of zombies.
A dying person with great resentment couldn't exhale their last breath, which eroded their body, and finally they became a living corpse.
There was no soul in this kind of body.
All their actions were supported by that resentment, and there was only one obsessive thought of hatred in their minds.
Following their instincts, they would destroy everything they saw.
They satisfied their already distorted souls with killing.
Vengeful ghosts were usually the same, but the difference was that vengeful ghosts still had memories of affection and retained a glimmer of rationality as a human being.
But these mummies had no rationality at all.
However, the most basic and initial change of turning into a zombie was the physical change, commonly known as a corpse transformation.
Moreover, only when a corpse transformation occurred within the first seven days after a person's death could they become a zombie.
It was obvious that these three mummies had been dead for many years.
The skin and flesh on their bodies had shrunk, and they were as thin as skeletons covered with skin, with traces of decay on them.
It was impossible for them to have become zombies and been sealed here before, because a zombie's body was non - decaying and non - rotting, and it was even more impossible for them to have dried up like this.
Well, it seemed that their corpse transformation had only happened today.
This was really amazing.
The smallest mummy suddenly squatted down slowly. She poked the ground with her finger and wrote three crooked characters.
【Death】
After writing the characters, the little mummy stood up and pointed at the group of people huddled in the corner.
Nian Nian was also shocked into silence.
Huh?
A mummy that could write?
Ah, no, a zombie?
Forget it, it didn't matter.
"This species is so novel. Is it naturally formed?"
She really wanted to study it!
Nian Nian murmured to herself, and her eyes became brighter and brighter. Her look was just like that of someone who had discovered a treasure.
Seeing her like this, Yu Sheng was really afraid that she would pounce on the mummies the next second and directly study them up close regardless of anything.
He quickly grabbed the hem of her little dress.
"Little sister, don't be impulsive. I can tell at a glance that these things are not good. You must not get close to them!"
"I won't."
Not yet sure how dangerous these three mummies were, Xiao Tuan Zi wasn't a completely brainless person. How could she be so stupid as to observe them up close?
But she was also very curious. There was a group of people in the direction the little mummy was pointing at. Who exactly was she pointing at?
Also, the fate she had calculated between herself and this house before, could it be this bad fate of encountering these three mummies?
The little mummy definitely didn't mean to kill the group of people in the corner.
If she really wanted to start killing, she didn't have to point and write on the ground.
It would be better to just start attacking.
Would there be a pre - introduction?
Although mummies still had some human intelligence, they were no longer human after all. With a brain as small as a grain of rice, they definitely didn't have such a large amount of thinking.
"Well, who do you think they want to kill?"
Nian Nian scanned around and finally fixed her gaze on Zhao Tang.
It wasn't that she had any great malice towards her or was making baseless guesses.
Mainly, Zhao Tang's family hadn't done any good deeds before, and the methods they used to deal with her family were all metaphysical means.
These mummies obviously went beyond the scope of natural formation. Most likely, someone had used some secret technique to create them.
Under this premise, Zhao Tang and the person behind her who had schemed against her family seemed to have a lot to do with it.
Most importantly, Zhao Tang was related to her by blood.
The bad fate with the three mummies might not necessarily originate from her, but could also be related to Zhao Tang, who was related to her by blood.
Sometimes, cause and effect also involved a sense of connection.
Being related to such a person was really bad luck for eight generations.
"What should we do next? Little sister, can you deal with them? They look so scary."
