Chapter 93: Memory Erasure!
Hehe, master, you're really useless, it's just a low-level zombie, is it worth being so tense?!" Xiao Ling laughed in Lin Tian's mind. Lin Tian took a deep breath, turned on his flashlight and crawled into the cave, as soon as he entered the cave, he felt his body was surrounded by cold air, making Lin Tian shiver all over.
The cave wasn't a straight drop, but had a certain degree of incline. Although it was difficult to walk, it was still possible with some effort. Holding the flashlight in one hand and gripping the curved dagger from the Star Ring in the other, Lin Tian slowly made his way downwards. "Little Spirit, how can there be zombies in this place?" Lin Tian asked in his mind to alleviate the tension.
"Master, the Devil's Mountain is a place where yin energy gathers, and it's not unusual for a corpse to become a zombie. The mountain is shrouded in mist all year round, also due to the gathering of yin energy!" said Xiao Ling.
"What about those over ten people who disappeared on the Devil's Mountain? Were they eaten by zombies?" asked Lin Tian.
"They must have discovered this cave and, driven by curiosity, went inside, only to die at the hands of the zombie. They wouldn't be eaten, as zombies don't eat humans, but being drained of their blood is a certainty!" said Xiao Ling.
"Then, after being bitten by zombies, will they also become zombies?" Lin Tian had forgotten his tension at this time, and seemed like a curious baby! "If it were somewhere else, they wouldn't become zombies. You think zombies are that easy to produce? If so, the whole world would be full of zombies. But here is different, Devil Mountain is where yin energy gathers, and yin energy will slowly turn dead corpses into zombies. However, because the yin energy of Devil Mountain isn't too heavy, it will take a very long time. The bitten corpse will probably need hundreds of years to possibly become a zombie!" Xiao Ling said.
"Bang, bang!" The two jumping sounds entered Lin Tian's ears, followed by a harsh grinding sound. Under the light of the flashlight, a monster covered in black fur appeared before Lin Tian's eyes. "It's even uglier than the zombies on TV!" This was Lin Tian's first impression. Seeing the zombie, Lin Tian wasn't afraid anymore. People are afraid of the unknown, and once the unknown is understood, that fear naturally disappears by half!
That zombie apparently felt that Lin Tian was not easy to deal with, and while shouting at Lin Tian, it did not dare to rush up. "Xiao Ling, this is a zombie, why is it so different from the ones on TV? And its clothes are all tattered and covered in black fur!" Lin Tian asked Xiao Ling in his mind, seeing that the zombie was not attacking.
"Master, you're really stupid. The formation of zombies requires hundreds of years, what clothes can still be worn intact after so long?! Zombies are divided into different levels, the lowest level is the White Hair Zombie, which has just grown a little white hair, ordinary people can deal with it. The one in front of you, master, is an Iron Zombie, also known as Black Hair Zombie, which is one level higher than the White Hair Zombie. Above the Iron Zombie is the Copper Zombie, above that is the Silver Zombie and the Gold Zombie. As for what's above the Gold Zombie, master, you don't need to know yet."
The zombie's IQ was still a bit low, seeing Lin Tian didn't attack it, thinking Lin Tian was afraid of it, roaring and pouncing towards Lin Tian. The speed was quite fast, under the flashlight's glow, Lin Tian only felt that the opponent had arrived right in front of him! Although startled, Lin Tian remained calm, using his Lingbo Micro Steps to dodge and avoid. He had confidence that one knife would be enough to finish off the zombie, but Lin Tian didn't do so. He still wanted to see how the zombie attacked!
Two minutes later, Lin Tian was disappointed. Although the zombie's speed was extremely fast, its attack was monotonous and only knew how to simply pounce and bite! "Since that's the case, I'll end your life now! You've killed over a dozen people, it's time for you to pay the price!" Lin Tian said, waiting for an opportunity. His sharp curved knife sliced through the terrifying black-haired zombie's neck, and a huge head flew out, but no blood flowed out, which was eerie beyond measure.
Lin Tian is now in a place that has already reached the bottom of the cave, with more than 20 corpses lying around him. The bodies have not rotted, and their faces are all pale blue, apparently they could become terrifying zombies if given enough time!
Letting so many corpses become zombies, who knows how many more people will be killed by them in the future! Lin Tian's face was cold, and he swung his curved knife continuously. In an instant, all the corpses' heads were separated from their bodies! "Sorry, I suppose you wouldn't want to harm humans in the future either!"
After finishing, Lin Tian put away the curved knife and stepped out of the cave. Just as he was about to exit, Lin Tian heavily punched the wall of the cave several times, causing it to collapse and seal the entrance! The loud noise caused by the collapse of the cave entrance was not small, and outside, Wei Feng, Yun Rou, Li Wei, and others looked at each other anxiously. Lin Tian calmly walked out from the clump of grass.
"Let's go, there's nothing inside!" Lin Tian said calmly. Yun and Ruo didn't believe him, but even if Lin Tian didn't say anything, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it anyway.
Very soon, the team began to descend the mountain. Although there is a saying that "going up a mountain is easy, but coming down is difficult", Lin Tian felt that descending was actually much easier. There were no unexpected events and after two hours, they had already reached the middle of the mountain. It's called the middle of the mountain, but it's not far from the foot of the mountain. Here, there are vast plains, and next to it is a mountain spring, which is a good place for camping.
While others were busy setting up tents and gathering firewood for the bonfire party, Wei Feng pulled Lin Tian aside and asked in a low voice: "Old Three, is there really nothing in that cave? I heard strange howls!" "It's already been taken care of, and as for those people who went missing on Devil Mountain, I know what happened to them too!" Lin Tian said. "Old Three, what's inside?" Wei Feng asked. "You should have heard of zombies, right? There was one in there, but it's already been killed by me. The missing people all died in that cave!" Lin Tian said.
Wei Feng muttered, "Is there really such a thing as zombies in this world? I thought it was just something they made up for TV!" Lin Tian said, "Of course there are, Old Wei. If you were destined to be an ordinary person, I wouldn't tell you these things. But since you're going to become a great master in the future, knowing a bit about it won't hurt. Just don't let them know, or it might cause panic!" Wei Feng nodded, "I naturally understand! I won't say anything. Hmm, I had a feeling that Magic Ghost Mountain was a bit strange before... turns out there really are monsters on the mountain!"
The bonfire was lit quickly, the barbecue rack was ready, and everyone started grilling their own meat. Lin Tian and Wei Feng were both quite skilled at this. Lin Tian had been an orphan since childhood, so he had to do everything himself for a long time, making it easy for him to grill meat. As for Wei Feng, although his family background was good, being from a military family meant that the requirements were strict. If he couldn't even grill simple meat, during wilderness survival training, he would probably have to eat raw meat directly!
They did a good job, but for the whole class, most of them were city kids, and they were all burnt to a crisp, it was really pitiful. One side was charred, and the other side still had blood on it, there were many like that! They couldn't eat meat cooked like that, Li Wei and the others had prepared enough meat food, but it wasn't meant to be wasted like this, if they continued like this, there would definitely not be enough roasted meat!
"Old Wei, it's your turn to take action! Look at Li Wei, the meat is burnt like that, she's so anxious she's almost crying!" Lin Tian said with a low laugh. Li Wei, this beautiful class leader, although capable, unexpectedly can't even barbecue, and has managed to burn the whole piece of meat into charcoal! Wei Feng glared at Lin Tian and shook his head, saying: "If you want to go, then you go!"
Lin Tian stood up: "I'll go hunt for some food, otherwise many people will go hungry today!" Lin Tian said, rushing up a small path and quickly disappearing into the mountains. Li Wei saw Lin Tian running up the mountain and came over to ask: "Wei Feng, what is Lin Tian doing?"
"Go hunting!" Wei Feng said, looking at the meat on Li Wei's stick and bursting into laughter. "This is all because of certain people, roasting a piece of meat until it becomes charcoal! Besides meat, we don't seem to have brought anything else, with less meat everyone will go hungry!"
"I didn't know roasting meat was so difficult!" Li Wei looked at the meat he had roasted and said with a red face. "You roast well, why don't you do it for me?!"
"Uh—"
……
Lin Tian rushed into the dense forest and started searching around. He didn't let Xiao Ling use her detection skills, but instead relied on his own superhuman senses to track down the wild beasts. The Devil's Mountain was rarely visited by humans, so there were definitely many wild animals in the mountain. Although there might not be tigers or other ferocious beasts, there were certainly wild boars and similar creatures!
"Huh, bloodstains!" Lin Tian bent down to examine the few drops of blood on the ground, "The blood hasn't coagulated yet, it can't have been long since it flowed out!" He looked up at the sky, the sun had already set behind the mountains, night was falling. "It seems like someone who's injured has passed by here!" Lin Tian thought to himself after checking the surrounding marks.
"Xiao Ling, open detection and see if there's anyone else in the mountain besides us. Also, are there any wild boars nearby?" Lin Tian said in his mind. Soon, Xiao Ling responded: "Master, 300 meters to your left, there is a wild boar den with a large wild boar inside. The detection range is currently only 2 kilometers, and there are no outsiders within 2 kilometers, but I detected bloodstains. Master, if you track it down, you can follow the trail!"
"Never mind, let's deal with that wild boar first!" Lin Tian said, his figure flashing like lightning as he darted through the dense forest. With his light and agile steps, the dense woods had little effect on him! The wild boar was also extremely sensitive, and just as Lin Tian arrived at its den, it charged out!
"It's your good fortune to die under this precious blade!" Lin Tian chuckled, his curved knife flashing in the light. A large wild boar head flew far away. "Damn it, I have to play the role of a butcher again! It's really a waste for this knife!" Lin Tian muttered to himself as he made precise cuts on the boar's body with his curved knife. Under his skilled hands, the boar's skin was completely removed, and all its internal organs were cleared out. Using his curved knife to chop off a sturdy tree branch, Lin Tian used it to lift up the skinned, gutted, and headless wild boar.
That wild boar meat was also over 200-300 catties, but with Lin Tian's current strength, lifting it up was a breeze! Next to the wild boar den, about 40 meters away, there was a small pool of water. The pool water was crystal clear, and Lin Tian secretly praised the wild boar for having good taste in choosing such a great location. Lin Tian washed the wild boar meat in the pool water, washing it until the entire pool seemed to have turned into a blood pool!
"What a great scenery I am!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, carrying the two or three hundred catty wild boar meat with one hand towards the campsite.
Lin Tian quickly came down the mountain, but soon discovered that something was amiss. There were over a dozen outsiders at their campsite, and from one of them speaking stilted Chinese, Lin Tian immediately knew they weren't Chinese. Two of the men had guns trained on Yun Rou and Wei Feng, so Lin Tian didn't recklessly rush out, instead hiding himself. "Damn it, how did foreigners end up here? And judging by their appearance, they seem to be Japanese... Shit, it's almost dark, over a dozen Japanese people running into this godforsaken Devil Mountain!" Lin Tian silently cursed in his heart!
"Ah, come on, what's up? Saw a really pretty girl just now?"
"No, we didn't see anything!" Yuner trembled and said. She was just an ordinary woman, being pointed at by a gun, it's not normal if she wasn't afraid. "Sakaki-kun, what she said should be true, that woman is extremely formidable, even if she entered this mountain, they wouldn't have seen her, let's hurry up and search the mountain!"
"They saw us, are they going to kill us all?!" Akizuki-kun said in a single sentence, scaring all the students pale. "No, no, Akizuki-kun, let's not stir up more trouble than we need to, this is China, if that happens, we'll definitely have no way of escaping from China! We have memory erasers, just erase their memories of this incident and it's fine!"
"Hurry up and settle it, we're going into the mountains right away!"
"Hey!" the man said, pulling out something that looked like a pen from his pocket. "All of you, look at this thing in my hand and keep your eyes wide open. Whoever dares not to look will be killed!" Under his threat, Yun Ruo and the others all stared at the pen-like object with their eyes wide open, while Lin Tian quickly closed his eyes.
A blinding light flashed, and Yun Rou and the others, including Wei Feng, all fell to the ground. "Qian Shan Jun, it's done. They'll wake up in five minutes and forget everything that happened in the last ten minutes!" "Good, let's go! We must catch that little girl, what she has is too important for the Empire... Hmph, causing us to run around everywhere. Once we catch her, we'll take turns humiliating her!"
