Zhuangfu Village is a very poor village.

This can be seen from the construction of the houses, dilapidated and short.

There are even houses that don’t even have roofs or doors, but are just covered with a wooden board to block the wind and rain outside.

It stands to reason that all the villagers in Zhuangfu Village died due to the plague, and the village should be full of corpses.

But now, except for the corpses buried by the straw piles before, Wu Xiajiu, Deputy Team Shi and the others did not encounter a corpse behind them.

This doesn't seem quite right.

"Where are all the corpses of the villagers? We can't count the number of people in Zhuangfu Village, right? Looking at the number of houses, we know that this is absolutely impossible..." Wang Xiaoming muttered in a low voice, feeling puzzled.

They are now far away from the entrance of the village, and have entered the center of the village, surrounded by houses and dirt roads.

Some courtyard doors are directly open, and you can see the inside of the small courtyard at a glance, and you can also see chopped and stacked firewood, millstones, and dried vegetables.

In some courtyards, you can also see the livestock raised by the villagers themselves, such as sheep and pigs.

But without exception, these livestock were all dead, and the corpses were lying on the ground, with flies constantly circling and dancing.

This was the first normal sight they saw in Zhuangfu Village.

"The pig's corpses are all there, where are the villagers' corpses?" Jack couldn't help but frowned while covering his nose.

After Wu Xia heard the words for a long time, he glanced inside the closed house and said, "We haven't gone inside to take a look yet."

"Don't you find it strange that from the time we entered Zhuangfu Village to now, except for the door to the yard, the doors of every living room are undoubtedly closed."

"Why are these doors closed uniformly? Who closed them? Will the corpses be placed inside?"

After hearing this, Mr. V frowned and said, "Indeed, this is obviously not normal."

Jack: "It may or may not be because of the plague, so the villagers in Zhuangfu Village hid in their houses and closed the doors tightly."

"In the end, they all died... probably like this."

When he said the last sentence, Jack's tone couldn't help but also became a little uncertain.

He finally said irritably: "Hey, don't care, let's go in and take a look, we have to check it out anyway."

After speaking, Jack walked towards the door of a room, and then stood still, but hesitated when he was about to open the door.

But when he thought that there were other people watching behind him, Jack gritted his teeth and put his hand on the door frame. With a heartbeat, he slowly pushed it away——

The first thing that catches the eye are clusters of spider webs hanging down from the beams of the house.

They seemed to have been woven on the door before, but because of the opening of the door and the blowing wind, some spider webs that were close together were swept down, sticky and entangled together and drifted down, but Immediately fell into a large group of spider webs on the ground...

Yes, not only on the beams, on the ground, on the windows, tables and chairs, bowls and chopsticks, cabinets, beds, etc...

Everything that can be seen in the house is covered with countless spider webs.

How could they have entered a villager's house, as if they had strayed into the Pansi Cave in Journey to the West, with cobwebs everywhere and no place to stay.

Jack stood stiffly at the door of the room. When he opened the door, he took a step back instantly, for fear of touching the cobwebs inside and getting something unclean.

But he swept his eyes, and suddenly opened his eyes to a place in the room, and at the same time stretched out his fingers and said: "Look there!"

Fortunately, Jack didn't forget to lower his voice.

Wu Xiajiu waited for someone to look in the direction of his finger——

I saw layers of cobwebs intertwined on a bed made of simple broken planks in the corner.

And just under these spider webs, there is a cocoon-like thing completely wrapped in white spider web threads.

They didn't pay attention to it before, thinking that all the spider webs were gathered together, but now after staring intently there, they realized that the cocoon-like thing was undulating slightly, as if it was breathing. Sleeping silently in a cocoon of spider webs.

The vice-captain Shi narrowed his eyes, and then said softly: "I'm afraid there are people inside the cocoon, let's get out."

Wu Xiajiu waited for the others to hear the words, but they didn't dare to stay longer. They moved lightly, closed the door again, returned along the same way they came in, and retreated outside the small courtyard.

Only then did Wang Xiaoming dare to pant normally, and whispered, "Why is that house full of spider webs... and that white cocoon, if there are people inside, is it still alive?"

He had held his breath completely when he saw it outside the door earlier, afraid of waking up the thing in the cocoon.

The Deputy Team Shi said that there are people in the cocoon, but haven't the villagers in Zhuangfu Village all died long ago?

Why is that cocoon rising and falling like breathing...

Wu Xiajiu said: "Whether it's human or not, the things inside will never be good."

"However, I agree with what the deputy team said. Since most of the corpses of the villagers in Zhuangfu Village have been found outside, it means that most of the corpses have been taken away for other purposes."

"And this 'purpose' is to release Gu and make Gu people."

Professor Tang couldn't help but also said with a serious face: "Yes, spider webs, it's hard not to remind people of Gu insects."

"It's easy to confirm this matter. We just need to go and see if the situation in other rooms is the same as in this room."

"Then let's go." Wu Xiajiu said.

They then inspected the houses one by one, but the situation in the room was so serious that it far exceeded their expectations.

——There is more than one Gu in this Zhuangfu village.

Some rooms are covered in cobwebs and cocoons are formed on the bed.

Some rooms are full of caterpillars, ants, etc., looking into it at a glance, can make people suffer from intensive phobia.

And on the same bed, there is a mass of "things" wrapped in a dark sticky object, which should be a Gu release. The made Gu people have not yet broken out of the "cocoon", and insects and ants are constantly swarming. Climb in and out of it.

Fortunately, they stood at the door and didn't go in, otherwise...

Thinking of this, even Wu Xiajiu couldn't help frowning, and rubbed his arms, shoulders and other places vigorously.

It always felt like those caterpillars, ants, etc. had crawled on his body, making him uncomfortable and scratching his body.

"Are these also Gu?" Wang Xiaoming asked with a pale face after he withdrew.

Wu Xiajiu replied: "Snakes, insects, rats and ants can all be made into Gu, as can spiders, centipedes, scorpions..."

"I think we don't need to waste time looking at other rooms, the results should be similar."

"Most of the corpses of the dead villagers were filled with Gu insects, then dragged in and placed in the room. When the time comes, the things inside those 'cocoons' will be hatched."

"What about after hatching?" Jack asked with an extremely ugly expression: "The person behind him couldn't have made Gu people to play with, otherwise 'he' wasted so much effort and effort for nothing."

"Furthermore, 'he' used zombies to attack the Cheng family that night, so there is no guarantee that 'he' will not use these things to kill the Cheng family after the Gu people are hatched."

"At that time, I'm afraid we won't be able to protect ourselves, why not..."

"Not as good as what?" Mr. V asked.

Jack said with a grim expression, "Why don't we set fire to this place."

"How about we burn the entire village of Zhuangfu to clean? No matter how many insects there are here, they will always be afraid of fire, right?"

Mr. V frowned upon hearing this, and then fell into deep thought.

The deputy team laughed lightly.

Jack immediately turned his head and asked, "What are you laughing at? Isn't this method okay? Since it is daytime, these bugs are in the house and the villagers' corpses are also there. Can't we set fire to them?"

Professor Tang pushed his glasses and said, "It's not that easy. If it could be solved so easily, the corpses of these bugs and villagers wouldn't just be placed in the room."

"It can be seen that maybe they are not afraid of being burned, the method you said is not feasible."

Jack said: "If you don't try it, you will know it won't work."

The Deputy Team Shi raised his eyes to look at him and said, "Do you want to try? But can you afford the consequences? What if there is a situation that we cannot control after trying?"

Jack immediately sneered with disdain, and said, "What could happen? It's so serious, but you dare not."

"If you don't come, I'll go to the head office by myself."

After he finished speaking, he put down the bamboo basket on his back, opened the lid of the basket, and took out the kerosene and fire folder inside.

"You, you really want to light a fire?"

Seeing that Jack's actions seemed to really set fire to the houses in Zhuangfu Village, Wang Xiaoming couldn't help saying: "Should we think about it again, let's discuss it..."

"What are you talking about? Shut up if you don't help me." Jack said, and poured the fire oil in his hand on the dirt wall outside the house.

There were a lot of firewood and straw piled up there, and in an instant, a pungent smell rushed over.

However, just as he was taking the fire folder, the deputy captain suddenly grabbed his wrist. It was not seen how much strength he used, but Jack felt a pain in the bones of his wrist.

He couldn't help but snorted, and then raised his head angrily, wanting to shout angrily.

But at this moment, he heard the audience master suddenly say, "Shh, look in the room..."

In the courtyard where they are now, one of the rooms is full of caterpillars and ants.

And just when Jack finished pouring the kerosene and was about to light the fire, those crawling insects seemed to sense the danger, and stopped their movements for a moment, and came to a sudden stillness.

But at the next moment, the next second, Wu Xiajiu and the others could clearly feel that the bugs became restless facing them.

This kind of movement is silent, it can only be felt and cannot be expressed in words.

But you can also feel that after the bugs in this room are restless, there seems to be a sense of restlessness and oppression in other nearby houses...
