The mud man in the tower house followed Zhang Zi up to the second floor. The floor upstairs was like a pot of boiling dumplings, rolling up and down.
Even though the zombies lying on the wooden bed had hideous expressions, Zhang Zi, who had stepped on it for the second time, had already lost his mind due to the anger in his heart that had overwhelmed his fear.
He walked to the wooden beds and crazily knocked on the wooden boards with his fists, making a banging sound, waking up the sleeping zombies one by one.
Zombies mechanically turned over and sat up, then stiffly got off the bed and stood up. The rotten flesh on their bodies peeled off like mud, and their huge bodies were rapidly shrinking.
In an instant, the Mudmen standing at the entrance let out terrified screams. This was the first time they had seen a terrifying zombie. They all shouted in horror,
"Caw! It's too terrifying!"
"How terrifying!"
"Look-the zombies are up-"
"They're coming towards us!"
" I…I think it's better for me to go down…" Someone wanted to back out.
"Everyone, don't be afraid! The zombies aren't coming for us!" Wei Zi was the last to go upstairs because he was holding Miao Zhu in his hand. He consoled the people present loudly.
Sure enough, the zombie walked slowly towards the boulder at the corner of the wall. Although the wooden frame that placed the boulder had collapsed, the boulder was still there, lying quietly on the accumulated soil on the ground.
Zombies walked towards the boulder one after another, slamming into it.
After a series of crisp cracking sounds, the zombie's skull and bones fell apart and rolled to the ground, making a series of thudding sounds.
The skulls and bones on the ground shattered and gradually melted into a pile of dark red dust.
The mudmen who had followed Zhang Zi up were dumbfounded as they witnessed this scene. They stood timidly, not daring to take half a step closer.
Zhang Zi knocked on the bed to wake up the zombie while shouting bravely,"
"These zombies are all paper tigers! They would only commit suicide and then melt into a pile of sand energy!”
Under Zhang Zi's frantic alarm, all the zombies in the room woke up and swarmed towards the rock. One by one, they hit the rock and committed suicide, automatically ending their numb lives.
Not long after, the dust on the floor around the boulder piled higher and higher.
When the last zombie turned into ashes, Zhang Zi rushed to the boulder. Before the dust souls could fly, he covered his mouth with his hand, closed his eyes, and impatiently stepped into the sand.
Immediately, the blood-colored sand and dust flew up and swirled in the air. It was as if they were possessed, looking for their new host. They pounced on Zhang Zi, attached themselves to him, and wrapped him up.
Having experienced such a scene before, Zhang Zi understood what was going on. He was no longer nervous. It was just like after soaking in a mud bath and realizing that the mud bath made one's entire body feel comfortable, strong, and beautiful, he became addicted. If he did not soak in it, he would not feel good.
He stood there with his hands on his hips, not moving at all. He looked like he was standing on a rice field and on a bed. He let the sand and dust cover his entire body.
When the mud men standing at the entrance saw the refreshing feeling of Zhang Zi's " dust bath ", they began to move their feet and were eager to try. Their fear and doubts were all thrown away, and they bravely rushed towards the boulder.
Wei Zi held the pearl with both hands and pressed it close to his chest. He was afraid that the crowd would touch the pearl in his hand, so he dodged left and right and retreated to the back of the crowd.
Wei Zi was also behind the crowd. He had always been meticulous and calm when doing things. At this moment, he stood at the side with his arms crossed and watched coldly. He believed that when everyone was greedy, they should be afraid, especially in this unfamiliar and dangerous environment. They should not act rashly.
Wei Zi didn't notice that You Zi was standing two steps behind him, staring at him. Seeing that he didn't squeeze forward, You Zi also stood still and didn't join in the fun.
In the blink of an eye, the entire room was filled with red dust, as if a hornet's nest had been poked. The dense sand and dust flew around like wasps, constantly following and attaching to the bodies of the Mudmen who were surging over.
This time, it wasn't like Zhang Zi's first time. Because there were so many people, the people standing at the back could only absorb a small amount of sand energy. On the other hand, Zhang Zi and the others standing at the front were filled with sand energy like cocoons.
Seeing that Zhang Zi and the others had made a lot of money, the people standing at the back felt very unbalanced. They were unwilling to be left behind and wanted to obtain more sand energy. They all fought to squeeze forward. It was like asking beggars to eat dead crabs.
In the end, it turned into a sandstorm. Wei Zi really didn't expect such a fierce fight.
"Everyone, don't fight!" He stood behind the crowd and shouted.
However, greed and herd mentality had long made people lose their rationality. Huizi was wrapped in the crowd and couldn't stand steadily in the midst of pushing and shoving. She tripped and fell to the ground, and a pair of feet stepped on her.
When she struggled to get up, she was pushed against the wall again. Her body was pressed against the wall and it was difficult for her to breathe. She was at a loss and started crying on the spot.
The battle for the sand became more and more intense. Instead of saying that the sand was attached to people, it was better to say that people were fighting to divide the sand.
Poor Azuko, after being pushed, tripped, and trampled on, she was pushed against the wall. She was frightened for nothing, but in the end, she did not absorb much sand energy.
Some of the sand floating in the air landed on Wei Zi's hand. The water pearl in his hand quickly absorbed a layer of sand energy and finally stopped melting. Wei Zi gently pinched it and felt that it had become firm again. Only then did the worry in his heart dissipate. He carefully put it into his pocket.
When the last grain of sand was divided, the hot-headed and restless crowd gradually calmed down. This noisy sandstorm battle had subsided.
At this moment, everyone realized that some of the Mudmen had already changed beyond recognition.
Especially the few Mudmen who were the first to bear the brunt. They absorbed the most sand energy, and their bodies expanded rapidly, turning into "little giants".
Zhang Zi's laughter was the loudest. Now, he had gotten what he wanted. A large amount of sand and dust had filled his body, making him the biggest and most burly of the mud men. Like a nouveau riche, he clenched his fist and punched his sturdy chest, shouting arrogantly,
"Haha, look-now, I'm even thicker than the Black Tower, I can totally compete with him! I only need one punch to knock him down and make him beg for mercy!”
Zhang Zi moved his feet as he spoke. His feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his huge body was like a fat cow. He was like an overloaded truck that was moving slowly. He moved his heavy steps with difficulty. Step by step, his heavy steps stomped on the floor, making a deafening sound as if he would break through the floor at any moment.
Everyone present envied him. Only Wei Zi looked at him worriedly and shook his head.
"You can't fight against the Black Tower!"
"Why?"
"Because you absorbed too much sand energy, your body is as big as an ox, and you can't go down at all!”
"I don't believe it!"
Zhang Zi's body grew bigger, his head swelled, and his confidence also multiplied, thinking that he was omnipotent. He insisted on walking to the entrance and squatted down. His two fat feet stepped on the ladder, and the ladder squeaked in protest.
His movements were clumsy, and he lost his balance. His lower body slid down to the entrance, and his fat buttocks happened to be stuck on the square entrance. He could not go down, but he could not go up. He firmly stuffed the entrance.
"Not good! Zhang Zi's body blocked the exit and cut off our escape route!”Someone exclaimed.
"Ah-aren't we fat ducks in a cage-waiting to be slaughtered?”You Zi complained.
When Wei Zi saw this, he was secretly anxious. If his stone had not been snatched away by the Black Tower, he could have used that stone to help Zhang Zi lose weight. Seeing Zhang Zi stuck at the exit, grimacing in pain, he suggested,"
"Let's go push him!"
Wei Zi and a few mud men came to Zhang Zi's side, put their hands on his shoulders, and pushed him down with all their strength, wanting to push him down to the first floor. Who knew that he would let out a miserable cry and howl,"
"Ouch-no! Don't push me! My penis…it hurts!"
Wei Zi gloated and said sarcastically,
"It's really a one-man pass that can't be opened by ten thousand men! Brother, with a heavyweight like you 'blocking' the entrance, we won't be able to go down, and those three robbers will probably have a hard time coming up. We can finally be at ease!”
Upon hearing Wei Zi's words, the battered and exhausted Zhang Zi was furious and said,
"How hateful! My fist is itching! Even if the three robbers attacked together, they wouldn't be able to defeat me! I'm afraid that they'll play dirty tricks. I can't move now. In this state, I can defend for two hours, but I can't defend for a day!”
Wei Zi frowned and asked in confusion,"
"Two hours? We've been tossing and turning in this room for at least two hours, right?”
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"When Black Tower left the house, he said that he would come back in two hours to deal with us! However, two hours had already passed. Why had they not made any movements for so long?”
"Because we didn't become zombies!”
"They're outside, how do they know we haven't turned into zombies?”Wei Zi asked.
When everyone heard this, they felt that something was amiss. You Zi took the opportunity to voice his doubts.
"I also find it strange! Logically speaking, if they wanted to poison us silly, they shouldn't have placed the incense pillar in a place where we could see and touch it. We extinguished the incense pillar, so they should know. Since they knew, why did they just let it go and not come in to punish us?”
Wei Zi nodded repeatedly."
" That's right. They must have known that we went upstairs, woke up the zombies, and absorbed the sand energy. In the end, we would turn into little giants like Zhang Zi. Either we couldn't go down and got stuck at the entrance, and those who could go down would definitely be no match for them…" Wei Zi had a clue.
Wei Zi agreed with Wei Zi's analysis in his heart, but his mouth still wanted to go against him.
"Black Tower is neither naive nor rash. He is a scheming fellow. In my opinion, he is 90% trying to slowly toy us to death by using the 'catch a turtle in a jar' tactic!”
"Why did he do that? Why not just turn us into zombies, then melt us and absorb the sand energy to our heart's content?”
"Besides, they can't be dozing off outside. They must have been watching us, but how did they do it?”
Just as the Mudmen were discussing, a rustling sound came from the only iron window in the room.
The hearts of all the Mudmen in the room clenched, and they all looked toward the window at the same time.
Through the iron bars on the window, she saw a figure flashing past.
Who was the person outside the window? Please listen to the next chapter.
