Strange national destiny: My Chinese-style horror scares the world

"Wait…that's…a person?"

Unexpectedly, just as everyone finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

The sudden appearance of this figure really scared everyone.

You know, they had already walked around almost half of the village before, but didn't find any living people.

This village doesn't look like a place where people can live.

Therefore, everyone took it for granted that there were no living people in the village.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, which naturally scared them.

"It's hard to say... right? We don't know if it's a human or a ghost." Park Ye-seong said.

He was being cautious. After all, not all monsters stayed in the same place. Some might wander around, and it was possible that they hadn't encountered them before, so they mistakenly thought the path they were taking was safe.

Because it was too dark, everyone was wearing night vision goggles but couldn't see clearly what the figure was.

"Uh--"

A low groan that sounded neither human nor animal slowly emanated from the figure's mouth.

Then, he suddenly raised his arms, stretched them straight, and jumped towards the crowd.

"what?"

See this scene.

A big question mark appeared on everyone's head.

The originally terrifying atmosphere also dissipated.

This person's weird way of walking has nothing to do with weirdness or horror, but rather a bit cute.

Not only did the crowd not feel scared, but they even wanted to laugh.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

The figures jumped up and down, and the distance between the two sides gradually shortened, fifty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters...

The people from the eight western countries stood there, laughing and joking as if they were watching a street circus.

"This person must be here to make people laugh. This is the first time I've seen someone walk in such a funny way." said one person.

Another person said, "Hmm... maybe he has some kind of medical condition that prevents him from bending his knees. You're being a bit insulting when you say that, Smite."

Although the person is teaching others a lesson in a serious manner, it is obvious that he is just trying to be funny.

The audience was also confused.

I suspect the designer must have some idiot in his brain to come up with something so jumping and incongruous.

After all, common sense suggests that if something is dangerous, it should be fast and agile, or have the ability to attack or control from a distance.

Regardless, this stiff, self-contained, bouncing movement didn't seem dangerous at all. Even if it were dangerous, it would be easy to escape.

Only people with mobility issues would be caught up by such a slow speed, right?

At this time, the moonlight shone through the dark clouds onto the village.

At the same time, it also illuminated the appearance of the figure that had always been hidden in the darkness.

This is a person, a person wearing strange clothes, which seem to be some kind of official robes from the ancient Dragon Kingdom. He wears a strange red hat on his head, and has a rather ugly-looking braid on the back of his head.

However, this is not the most eye-catching thing.

What caught people's attention most was the other person's appearance. This was not a living person at all, but a mummy that seemed to be in a state between rotten and dried.

His skin was dark blue, his face was festering, his eyes were like emerald, and his fingers were like knife hooks.

The exposed vampire-like fangs and dagger-like black nails give people a very bad premonition.

"Ah... Shit!" Park Yi-sung's eyes widened, and he quickly called out to his companions who were also standing there stupidly, asking them to run away quickly.

This kind of weirdness that they had never seen before was unknown to them, and when facing unknown things, it was best not to provoke them.

But at this time, one person did not retreat but advanced, pulled out the gun from his waist and aimed at the zombie jumping in front of him.

"It's just a dried corpse. It should be the Dragon Country version of a mummy, right? Watch me shoot it to death..."

As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots were heard.

"boom--!!!"

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the quiet village, and it echoed repeatedly in the empty valley.

now.

All over the village.

The zombies that hid in the shadows of the house during the day and only dared to come out at night stopped jumping and looked in the direction of the gunshot with their rotten, dark faces.

"Uh--"

"Ho-"

The next second, zombies, like sharks smelling blood, surrounded the direction of the Western Eight Nations team.

"How...how could this happen?"

One shot.

The bullet hit the zombie's chest, but the zombie just swayed backwards and was then safe and sound.

He didn't even take a step back due to the huge impact, as if his body was firmly rooted in the ground.

What's even more outrageous is that two seconds later, the dent on the zombie's chest caused by the bullet slowly recovered, and then a shriveled bullet head slid out of the wound.

"What a joke! Is this thing wearing a bulletproof vest?" someone exclaimed.

Park Ye-sung's heart sank, a foreboding feeling growing stronger. He had been chosen as captain not only for his leadership and charisma, but also for his exceptional intelligence. His intuition told him that something was amiss.

"Hmph... just a mummy..."

However, the more impulsive team member had not yet given up his intention to attack.

He stood in place, made a very standard aiming posture, and fired several shots at the zombies not far away.

“Bang—bang—bang!”

The sound of gunshots echoed again in the valley, making everyone else feel extremely uneasy.

Bullets hit the zombie's legs, neck, and face.

Since it is a moving target and moves in a very strange way such as jumping, it is difficult to aim at.

The bullet originally aimed at the zombie's eyeball missed and only hit his cheek.

But even so, the bullet, which was powerful enough to penetrate an adult's chest, didn't even scratch the flesh on the zombie's face.

The zombie's face was like aged rubber that had lost its elasticity, slightly concave, while the bones underneath were more like cast steel, and could not be shaken by pistol bullets at all.

"Uh--"

At this point, the zombie was less than five meters away from the shooter. Its jumping movement, which everyone had initially considered slow, seemed incredibly fast now that it was so close.

This is actually a misconception. When people see someone walking by hopping, they subconsciously think that the other person is walking very slowly.

But in fact, each time a zombie jumps, it can move horizontally more than one to two meters, which is equivalent to an adult taking two big steps. Zombies can jump once per second, which is about the same speed as a normal adult walking briskly, or even slower than this.

In addition, the way zombies jump when they get close to you looks like they are about to pounce, just like a large carnivore hunting its prey, which is very oppressive.

"Ah... Shit!"

The armed team member's face changed drastically and he turned around to escape, but it was too late.
