[Comprehensive] Zombie Valley: Terror and Suspicion

"Hey, look, what's this!"

Suddenly, a pile of documents fell from the sky, and I began to read them vigorously.The first few sheets are nothing, it seems to be someone's medical record, which has turned yellow and is unrecognizable.And after those charts, I found an old colored booklet, and because of its beautiful design and colors, I immediately held it up to Jack's eyes.

This is the town's travel guide, most of which are some introductions about the town.

But I saw the following content written on the title page of the exquisite manual——

[Dear tourists, welcome to this town!The full name of this small town is Ferry Town, and it is the nearest town to Lighthouse Town, an important eastern seaport town.The town is famous for its clean government, good law and order, free economy and perfect development. It is known as one of the safest, wealthy, prosperous, highest living standards and longest life expectancy towns among all towns in the east. . On this land where 5 people live together, flowers are in full bloom and the seasons are like spring.As a tourist resort, the town has a relaxed environment, complete facilities, and a variety of entertainment projects.

Many people travel for the local delicacies.If you want to ask what is the most famous local food, it's probably hard to sum it up in one word.Lobster noodles, grilled whole crocodile, baked snails, vinegar beef, large cup of mint tea, Black Forest ham, fried senbei with foie gras, the list is too numerous to count.However, Mrs. Lovett's Butcher's Pie is the most recommended.The craftsmanship started 100 years ago, the perfect ancestral soup recipe and the freshest pork selected every day, the meat pie here is so fresh that it makes people's eyebrows drop.In addition to good craftsmanship, Mrs. Lovett herself is also very enthusiastic and generous. She has donated money to the local government many times and funded various local charitable facilities, especially the construction of mental hospitals, which has won the respect of local residents.

There is also very good wine locally.If you come, don’t forget to come to the most famous great white shark bar in this town to have a sip of fish fin wine. This kind of wine with local special flavor brewed from fresh fish fins after grilling will definitely make you love it!I heard that Deacon Bender used to frequent here.Lord Justice Turpin was also full of praise.

The local hospitals are full of humanistic care, and even the mental hospital is a well-known excellent model hospital nearby.The mental hospital in this town has complete facilities, a large area, high greening rate, and professional doctors and nurses. The mental patients here can get the best care whether they are in treatment or recuperation.Thank you letters from many patients are filling hospital mailboxes to the brim.

Note:

1. Because it is close to the first seaport town nearby, there is a lot of traffic in this town, so please make sure to book a hotel in advance.

2. The local park closes at 8:10 p.m., and closes at [-]:[-] p.m. in spring and summer. Do not delay the time to leave the park.

3. The local psychiatric hospital is not open to the public and does not receive tourists. 】

Seeing this, I roughly understand that the original name of this town is not Sanghun Town, but Ferry Town. It is adjacent to Lighthouse Town, and it was originally a very prosperous town.

So, how did such a famous town become what it is now?

After continuing to search for information, and after reading some brochures boasting of local excellence and prosperity, I found another yellowed newspaper.The date of this newspaper is 20 years later than that of the tourist brochure, and it is estimated that the past is only five or six years ago.There is a headline in the newspaper, which is very intriguing.

[Recently, a strange mental illness has begun to spread among the population.Of course, local medical experts are more inclined to interpret it as a kind of "sub-health" and give it the name "sub-health mental disorder".And it is claimed that this condition will not have fatal effects, but unfortunately, recent findings show that this condition is causing more and more troubles to people, and the police and the government have to start taking it seriously.

The characteristics of the affected person are as follows.

1. Memory decline, and even forget your relatives and friends.

It is not uncommon to forget things, but everyone is more or less prone to memory deviation.But people who suffer from this "sub-healthy" disease can't even remember their relatives.But it is different from Alzheimer's disease because most of the patients are young, but the fact that most of their lost memories will never come back, leaving loved ones devastated and sending them to the hospital for treatment.But doctors can't effectively help patients restore memory.

2. Prolonged bad mood.

People suffering from "sub-healthy mental disorder" are always in depression and anxiety.As the disease progresses, negative emotions will also be magnified, and some people even suffer from rage, obsessive-compulsive disorder or even schizophrenia.Recently, there have also been many tragedies in which patients suddenly fell ill and then swung a knife to injure their family members.

3. Nonsense, uncontrollable.

The most obvious characteristic of the patient is that he has been playing with some strange words in his mouth, declaring that the god of destruction is about to come.Some fortune tellers in the local area distributed leaflets, saying that these patients may have been witchcraft, and even promoted cult organizations, but in the end these guys were all sent to prison.However, people who suffer from "sub-healthy mental disorder" always mention the coming of demons in their babblings. The reason for this is very thought-provoking.

Townspeople, please read this report carefully, and carefully check whether your relatives and friends around you are suffering from this disease.

As long as you find such patients, please be sure to contact the local police. The police will handle them properly and send these people to psychiatric hospitals for treatment.Townspeople don't have to worry about their family members getting hurt. Everyone can choose to visit their family members four days a week. 】

Seeing this, an ominous premonition came to my heart, and Jack seemed to have this premonition too.

"It seems that the development of this town is not good..."

I stared at this document for a long time, thinking the same as Jack.

This part of the data seems to indicate some peculiar changes in this town.

It's just that it's too early to make a conclusion. I continue to look through the information, hoping to see other information.Flipping like this, I turned to the last book.But this is not a document, but a notebook. When I opened it, I saw that there were handwritten records inside.

[Ferry Town has begun to be called "Soul Town".It's getting darker and darker here.But I can't leave yet, I want to stay here until the last moment, until I find my wife and daughter.Peter, the captain of the police force, jokingly said that if one day he couldn’t hold on anymore, he would hang himself on a big tree outside the town and leave me a knife and hammer to escape. I didn’t take this to heart, but I feel shuddering.What did we do wrong to be punished like this...

The mental hospital has run out of capacity for new patients.Before withdrawing, I wanted to take them away, but these people are no longer ordinary people, and there is no point in taking them away.In the end, the mayor decided to keep all the patients.For those who have not been fully "assimilated", he used lies to trick them into keeping them.In fact, this is to let them fend for themselves here.That's right, anyway, it's customary here to throw unwanted things into mental hospitals. In that world, people think that it doesn't matter what they do.

As I write this, I suddenly realized that the term "sub-healthy mental disorder" back then was completely wrong.They are not mentally ill, they are cursed.In fact, they have no hope of being cured on the day they get sick, because this is a terminal illness, and once infected, it cannot be cured.And when they get sick, they are already dead, and they can walk and make sounds only because they are "living dead".Yes, they are "the living dead".A terrible monster that can crawl and live even if its head is severed and its body is gone. 】

Seeing this, a chill suddenly rose from behind me, and the scene I saw in front of this town suddenly appeared in my mind.

The man without the head and the forest full of halflings, this manuscript reminds me of those monsters with crippled bodies but still alive.

There seems to be a deep connection between the two.

Finally, on the last page of the notebook, I also found a small sticky note with the above records.

[Evidence shows that the imitation ability of the living dead is very strong, and their brain nerves and reaction nerves are very good.But because the brain is not very good, thank God, no one used the supernatural ability learned temporarily to destroy the mental hospital.Its copper and iron walls still played a very important role.But how long can it keep these dangerous monsters in prison?The evil is about to move, and the unknown will come sooner or later...]

Seeing this passage, the room was dead silent.There was a sudden thunder, and Jack and I gasped in shock.But at this time, along with the thunder, faint wailing and shouting came from a distance, Jack shuddered and said in fear:

"what is that?"

I listened carefully, it seemed to be the voices of many people, and it seemed to be just the wind.

After thinking about it, I put down the book and ran to the window sill to look in the direction of the sound.

Through the heavy rain, I saw tall buildings with two minarets not far from the house we were in.This building is wrapped by iron gates and high walls, and it emits bright lights without any scruples in this mysterious night, which seems to be another world compared with our place. ——The noisy and sinful world.

"Damn it, shouldn't it be..."

Jack was blindfolded: "What? What do you know?"

I looked at him and said seriously: "You are so lucky that you are still alive. Regardless of whether the woman you saw is real or not, it seems that we have to search the house carefully and even change places! Then..."

"Then?"

I looked towards the tall buildings in the distance, and said in a low voice, "I have an ominous feeling about that place. I really hope Harry and the others won't be there..."
