Chapter 285 - The Living Dead
What's the use of getting angry? Since it's useless, then I think … It was better to let nature take its course. As he consoled himself in his heart, he felt much better and his heart expanded a little. Don't think too much about it. It might be a good thing for me.
"Right …" "Where should we go now to find that guy?" Suddenly, I thought of a very serious question. This city is so big, how can we find the cold? He couldn't just run around like a needle in a haystack and try his luck, right? As we were walking, the cold was also walking. In this way, the chances of us meeting each other were greatly reduced. If we delayed it for too long, the cold's ability would become even stronger.
However … After asking this question again, I suddenly realised that with Chu Yu's capabilities, we shouldn't be trying to test our luck, Chu Yu should have already thought of a plan to deal with it.
"Let's go out and take a look first. We won't be in a hurry to find the cold weather for the next few days, let's take a look at the terrain over here." After being silent for a long time, Chu Yu turned his head to look at me, and told me this: "In this terrain, if what the old ghost said was true, then..." For what reason could they not get out?
Was this the terrain from the start, or was it a result of the cold? If it really was due to the cold, then things would be even more complicated than I had imagined. Of course, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, Chu Yu decided to not tell me about this problem for now, and to only tell me about it after he had confirmed the guess in his heart. As for now, it's better to keep it a secret for now, as for how long he could keep it a secret, that would be the end of it.
"Let's go." Since Chu Yu has already said it, I cannot continue anymore, thus … He then packed himself up and said this to Chu Yu.
Although there weren't many living people on the outside, but … Women like to look good for themselves, Chu Yu is still by my side, I can't possibly throw myself into a mess, right?
I'm a girl after all. I want face, okay? What's more … In front of the people he liked, of course he had to pay special attention to his image.
"This... What was going on? Didn't they say that there weren't any living people left? "What is this?" When Chu Yu and I opened the door and walked out, I was completely stunned. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. What was the situation now? Isn't there only one person left in this city? But... In this street, the rooms are filled with people, could it be that I'm seeing things? He rubbed his eyes, but... There were still many people in front of him.
We walked so many roads last night and didn't see a single person, but now … There were booths by the side of the road, restaurants with shouts, and pedestrians on the streets. It was as if this city wasn't the same as the one we saw yesterday.
"They are not human, no... To be more accurate, they were humans, but … They can no longer be called human. " Just as I was looking at everything in a daze, Chu Yu actually said something that made me even more confused. I was even more at a loss as to what to think right now.
What do you mean they're human, but... You can't call me a human? It looked exactly like a human, could it be that... Was it some other creature?
With this thought in mind, I didn't dare to rashly walk into the crowd. If something were to happen, it would be troublesome, so … I turned my head and stared at Chu Yu, hoping that Chu Yu would give me an explanation. What kind of situation is this, why do I say that they are human, but not really human?
"To be exact. They were already a dead man, but now they were nothing more than a walking corpse. They kept repeating what happened when they were alive, but … There has been no soul for a long time now. " After seeing my questioning gaze. Chu Yu sighed, looked at the crowd, and slowly explained each and every word to me.
"You mean... Now that they only have one body left, are they already dead to us? " After a moment of silence, I asked Chu Yu. Looking at the endless stream of people on the street, I really couldn't tell that they were actually a bunch of dead people.
But think about it now. A dead person can still do business here like a living person. I can't help but feel scared, my scalp is starting to tingle.
Why did you have to tell me? When I thought about the pile of corpses that I had next to me, I felt a little scared. These were a bunch of corpses. No wonder when I first came out, I could smell a faint smell of decay. I thought it was because I was selling meat.
I didn't expect that it would be because the group of people I saw now were all dead, and because the corpses were emitting rotten auras, this made sense.
"Then what should we do now?" It was only after my heart had been at peace for a long time that I finally calmed myself down. Then, I turned my head to ask Chu Yu. If Chu Yu and I didn't meet, that would be fine, but we did, so I don't know if I should help them.
After all, I am someone who has seen a lot. I know that they are dead, but I am still able to remain alive, because their souls are imprisoned here, leading to them having too much obsession when they are on the verge of death, smelling a kind of obsession and resentment, sealed within their own bodies. It is impossible for them to disappear with them, which is why they have become like this.
And because his last breath did not leave his body, so … It was impossible for their souls to be reincarnated. Once their souls were slowly extinguished, then … What was waiting for them was something that would cause their souls to dissipate.
As I thought about it, I began to feel a little sorry for them. After dying and suffering so much, I couldn't rest in peace. In that instant, I felt that since we had already met, it wouldn't be a big deal to help them reincarnate.
