Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 249 Dealing with the Allied Forces and Introducing Zombies

Li Weidong walked around the palace, said something to Zhou Xiaolin and the others, and left.

Li Weidong found Yunque. Let's discuss what to do with the alliance army that Yunque brought back this time.

Li Weidong appeared directly next to Yunque, and Yunque did not react excessively. After all, he was already used to Li Weidong's elusive appearances in the small world.

"Skylark, what are you going to do with this group of people?"

Li Weidong didn't waste any words and asked Yunque directly.

"Can't this group of people join us? Then we can have them fight for us."

Yunque looked at Li Weidong with his bright eyes and asked with some doubt.

Li Weidong frowned slightly, looked at the alliance army in the distance, and said to Yunque:

"These guys are all ambitious. If they were to stay, they would probably cause a lot of trouble in the small world. I think the small world will have enough elite soldiers, but I don't think these guys are worth it. However, there are still many good generals among them who can be recruited."

Yun Que thought for a moment and nodded. He had also read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. There were indeed some good guys in it, but most of the princes were ambitious people. It was estimated that they would not be content in the small world. Although they could be suppressed, they would always cause quite a stir. For Yun Que, who had adapted to the harmonious environment of the small world and regarded it as his home, he did not want to see such a situation.

"Then select a group, and send the rest to another world."

Hibari said seriously.

Li Weidong nodded, and then continued to speak to Yunque:

"Skylark, then go and choose. You must be quick, because the next world war will begin in three days. This time I discovered a total of three small worlds, two of which are ordinary. One is the Three Kingdoms world, and the other is a martial arts world called Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. It is similar to the world of Huang Yaoshi and his group, but the military power may be slightly lower. But the third world is a bit troublesome. This world is called the Zombie World, and it has zombies and ghosts. I plan to conquer the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world and wait until the people in the other world have mastered the use of spiritual power before opening this Zombie World. Otherwise, they will have no way to deal with the ghosts and monsters, and the casualties will be heavy."

"Are the ghosts in that world that powerful? Zombies? What are zombies?"

Yunque was a little confused. He didn't know what zombies were, but he had some knowledge of ghosts. Zhou Xiaolin and the others had told her some ghost stories when they were playing together.

"Zombies are legendary creatures. There are two theories about their origins, but I'm not sure which one is true.

The first is the legend of the four ancestors of the zombies. Ying Gou, a fierce general under the Yellow Emperor, was punished by the Emperor to the Yellow Springs and the Underworld for disobeying orders during a battle with Chi You. Ying Gou refused to obey, until one day a wisp of the remaining soul of Qiong, one of the four ancient gods, entered Ying Gou's body. Ying Gou, already skilled in fighting, became an immortal zombie, wreaking havoc on the world. Later, the Yellow Emperor fought Ying Gou for 49 days with the Xuanyuan Sword, finally defeating him. However, Qiong's soul drifted away to an unknown destination.

Hou Qing was originally a general under the Yellow Emperor. He died in battle, but no one collected his body, leaving it exposed in the wilderness. Day after day, Hou Qing's soul grew resentful, and was devoured by the Qilin, and then resurrected. However, Hou Qing's ability was not that strong, but he was extremely good at cursing. Nuwa discovered and subdued him, but before his destruction, Hou Qing made a curse that all those who died unjustly would be transformed into zombies. He was called the ancestor of this type of zombies.

According to legend, Jiangchen was a sacred tree that merged into the body of a Qilin and turned into a zombie called Jiangchen. It had no soul and would suck blood from people. The people whose blood was sucked would also turn into soulless zombies. The vampire zombies we have today can all be called descendants of Jiangchen. Later, Jiangchen disappeared.

Hanba, whose original name was Nüba, was the daughter of Huangdi. One day, she fell seriously ill and was bedridden. Huangdi was helpless and a wisp of her soul took over Nüba's body and merged with her soul. Then Nüba's whole body became hot and all the water around her evaporated. The huge heat made the land dry, so she was called Hanba. The land was barren for thousands of miles and no grass grew wherever she went. Huangdi had no choice but to send Yinglong to kill Hanba.

The origins of the four major zombies are all inextricably linked to this "犼." According to legend, the 犼 feeds on dragons, so if we truly talk about the ancestor of zombies, the 犼 is the source of all zombies.

Skylark's eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly.

"Hou?"

Li Weidong nodded, then spoke to Yunque again.

"This is the first theory. Zombies originate from the 犼. These zombies are also divided into different levels: purple zombies, white zombies, black zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, and flying zombies. There are also three special creatures born from bones: crouching corpses, wandering corpses, and untransformed bones. In addition, according to legend, zombies can cultivate, and zombies that have successfully cultivated are called "魃".

Purple Zombie: Purple Zombie is a newly formed zombie and the lowest level zombie. It is just a corpse. At this time, the zombie is purple all over. The zombie can mobilize corpse qi to practice, thereby deepening the purple color of the body and changing into a higher level zombie.

White zombies and black zombies: At this time, the zombies' bodies will appear black or white and they can move slowly. They can be preliminarily called corpses. They are afraid of light, fire, chickens, and even people, so the zombies at this time are also very easy to deal with.

Green zombies: The zombies at this time are more ferocious. They are green all over, and a sense of weirdness arises from their hearts. They are not afraid of people or livestock, and they jump faster and farther than white zombies and black zombies. They begin to become dangerous, and people must run away quickly when they encounter them!

Hairy Zombies: Zombies begin to grow hair and become incredibly tough. They are not afraid of weapons, fire, or even sunlight. They are swift and agile, making them extremely dangerous. If encountered, it is difficult for humans to escape their clutches.

Flying zombies: At this time, the zombies have been around for thousands of years. They have high IQ, can use spells, and have an indestructible body. Since the zombies at this time can fly, they are called flying zombies.

Undisintegrated bones: As the name suggests, they are bones that do not disintegrate after death. Generally, undisintegrated bones occur because the deceased has put too much energy into a certain part of the bones during his lifetime. The bones in this place are different from those in other places, and will slowly develop a mind and start to act up!
Lying corpse: A complete corpse that generally remains intact for a thousand years. The bones are not decayed as a whole, and the entire body skeleton is completely preserved. However, the corpse at this time cannot be moved. After being washed by the essence of the sun and the moon, it will gradually evolve into a wandering corpse.

Wandering Corpses: Zombies that have survived a thunderstorm. At this point, they harbor immense resentment and are disowned by Heaven and Earth, forsaken from the Six Paths of Reincarnation. They can ascend to heaven and descend to the earth, possessing omnipotence. They are also the most ferocious at this stage.
