Chapter 3: Corpse-Eating Ghost!
"Danger! Inside is a plague of undead infection!"
In front of a tightly closed iron gate with symbolic significance greater than actual significance, a large wooden sign stood upright, and on the wooden sign, red lacquer wrote the above-mentioned dangerous text, as well as a skull head with a sinister smile.
Through the iron gate, Luo Wei saw small mountains of iron ore slag piled up everywhere, and low wooden sheds for miners were still built haphazardly. The spider web-like roads for transporting ore covered the entire mountain, and the mining caves were scattered all over the place...
Yes, Rovie, who had walked out of the large cemetery to find a hiding place, unexpectedly and pleasantly discovered that he had actually arrived at Nefrayer Mine Village, which was in the midst of an outbreak of undead plague.
The only difference is that the Nefrayer Mine in Rovell's "memory" was bustling with people and lit up 24 hours a day, while the current Nefrayer Mine was as silent as if it were dead.
A gust of cold wind swept through the gate, blowing against Rovi's tattered hemp robe, making him sense an even thicker aura of death than on the other side of the grave.
No mistake, Nefarian mine here has indeed become an infected area of the Scourge, a forbidden zone for the living.
But Luo Wei didn't care, because he was already a zombie. Would zombies be afraid of the plague of the undead?
The answer is undoubtedly no.
Driven by four civilian zombies to push open the iron gate, Luo Wei stepped into the entrance of Nai Fei Mine, but he didn't walk far before receiving a "warm" welcome.
A large wave of plague zombies, wearing miner's uniforms stained with blood, stumbled out of their hiding places, shaken by the disturbance. Among them were a few young zombies and female zombies.
Because they are infected with the plague and directly transformed from living things, the most distinctive feature of the plague zombie is the purulent purple and green rotten skin full of boils, as well as the scratches and blood stains all over the body.
As for the tomb zombies represented by Luo Wei at this moment, the eerie green glow that kept flashing in their eyes, as well as the large amount of rotting flesh that exposed their bones, deeply revealed the huge difference between them and the plague zombies.
So although they were all called zombies, the plague zombies that inhabited the Everia mine obviously did not welcome their own kind who still had a strong grave soil smell on them. They let out low growls full of threatening tone towards the tomb zombies led by Lovi.
However, the plague zombies only let out a low growl and did not react more violently because the extremely faint aura of pressure emanating from Mount Luovi made them instinctively dare not get too close.
The protest of the plague zombies, the magic was almost completely exhausted but still barely releasing the dark law, Luo Wei acted as if he had not heard anything, and drove the four civilian zombies who were already very obedient to move towards a randomly selected mine entrance at the halfway up the mountain.
The sun is about to rise.
In the movies I've seen before, it's said that sunlight can harm the undead creatures' bodies and soul fire, so no zombies are willing to expose themselves under the scorching sun, but Luo Wei... had no intention of testing this theory with his own body.
Luo Wei decided to enter the deep and dark mine to counterattack the invasion of sunlight, but this was just Luo Wei's most basic purpose. He actually also planned to complete the sacrifice of the undead in the mine before leaving the Grand Cemetery.
However, the little magic left in Rovin's body is about to be exhausted. After recovering his magic, he will need to gather enough undead sacrifices, so it will take some time to complete the spirit sacrifice and leave this dangerous mining village that has become a mercenary mission location.
With this idea in mind, Luo Wei drove four civilian zombies as vanguards and entered a randomly selected large mine.
……
Dark, damp, oppressive.
The three of them could walk abreast in the mine tunnel, and it didn't give Rove any particularly good caving experience, but fortunately there weren't too many branching tunnels inside the cave, which made Rove let out a long sigh - if he still had enough breath to let out.
The deeper into the mine, the more plague zombies wearing miner suits and dragging various mining tools wander aimlessly in the mine.
It seems that the outbreak of the undead plague in Nefrayer's Mine Village was very sudden, and the miners were infected with the plague and turned into plague zombies while they were still on duty without any investigation.
It was a pity, but Luo Wei didn't have time to lament for others, because he now urgently needed to find a safe place to completely assimilate the soul fire of that strong civilian zombie he had swallowed in the cemetery.
Where is safe in the mine?
For a zombie with brains like Luo Wei, it's naturally safer to hide deeper in the mine cave, because even if something happens, he has more time to think about how to respond.
The dark mine tunnel was not easy to walk through, after all, no mine owner would be extravagant enough to repair the roads in the mine tunnel. This made Luo Wei have to make the best of a bad situation and celebrate that he was an undead again, because as an undead, he had the innate ability of Dark Vision that allowed him to see clearly in the dark environment.
However, although the dim vision could see the environment clearly, it couldn't help his stiff legs and feet. In the uneven mine tunnel, Luo Wei had walked less than 500 meters when he fell six times due to tripping over something.
Zombies don't feel pain from their bodies, and they won't get hurt even if they fall down.
Luovi's mood, which was already quite embarrassing, was getting worse and worse. He increasingly wanted to quickly improve his strength so that his legs could be at least as agile as a normal person - Luovi vowed.
Unfortunately, before he could even make a sound of determination, Luo Wei once again stepped on air and fell to the ground with a straight five-body posture.
Rovin, who had just managed to get back up with great difficulty, didn't have time to go and annoy the shy and startled ones before he was shocked to discover that the four ordinary civilian zombies he had driven to scout ahead were also falling to the ground one after another, shaking violently.
What's wrong?
Because he had become a zombie, Luo Wei's thinking, which had slowed down considerably, hadn't fully reacted yet when he felt a wave of... undead pressure bearing down on him!
Rovi, who was caught off guard, knelt down on the ground with his whole body trembling in front of the intimidating presence of the vengeful spirit!
A sturdy-built ghoul with its entire body exposed, revealing a mass of crimson-colored muscles, had its huge mouth wide open, showing off rows of sharp teeth that were as long as a foot. The corners of its mouth had been torn to the roots of its ears. It crawled out of the dark mine tunnel on all fours, leaving behind a trail of foul-smelling saliva.
The gaki's body was trailed by four clanking iron chains as thick as thumbs, each connected to palm-wide iron clasps that were tightly locked onto the gaki's wrists.
It's clear that this ghoul was originally a prisoner who had been deemed extremely dangerous and was bound with heavy iron chains.
But the thick iron chains did not take effect, and the heavily sentenced prisoner who was infected with the undead plague had even swallowed enough flesh and blood to successfully evolve into a... Ghoul that could easily oppress ordinary zombies!
