"Snap!!"
"Ah!!"
This time, it wasn't just Wen Cai who got caught, but Qiusheng too. They both leaped into the air like they'd been shot out of a cannon by Uncle Ninth's cane. Wen Cai quickly got moving.
Qiusheng looked at his master with a pout, wondering why he was being punished for no reason.
"Chuckle~~~"
The antics of Qiusheng and Wen Cai made Ren Tingting, who was helping wash clothes for Xu Yan, burst into laughter. Uncle Ninth's face darkened, and he roared, "Move, all of you! Who said you don't have to if you're lightly injured?"
While finding it amusing, Ren Tingting was also grateful for her choice. Both were Taoists, both from the same lineage, but one had soared to new heights, making his master beam with pride every day, while the other two only knew how to mess around and lacked ambition.
Thinking of Xu Yan, Ren Tingting felt a sweetness in her heart. Uncle Ninth had just told her that after the zombie incident was resolved, they would prepare for her and Xu Yan's future together. This way, she would have a proper status and wouldn't worry about Xu Yan rejecting her.
"Awesome!!!"
Xu Yan finished a set of boxing exercises, feeling invigorated. Although his fist position and body refinement techniques hadn't improved, the advancement in his cultivation method made him feel refreshed.
This motivated Xu Yan even more. He spent his entire day practicing boxing, making talismans, reading, digesting knowledge, and cultivating. Uncle Ninth was particularly pleased and became stricter with Qiusheng and Wen Cai, no longer letting them get away with anything.
For three days, everything remained calm, and Mr. Ren's father didn't appear at the Yizhuang.
Until the fourth night.
"Uncle Ninth, it's bad! A zombie has appeared!!"
Wai pounded on the door and shouted loudly. Xu Yan, who was still cultivating, opened the door immediately and let Wai in.
Running into the Yizhuang, Wai anxiously shouted, "Xu Yan, where's Uncle Ninth? A zombie has appeared, and several people have died. We don't know what to do."
"Master, you stay home. I'll go check it out. I'm worried that if we leave, the zombie will come to the Yizhuang."
The zombie would definitely appear at the Yizhuang, but with Uncle Ninth there, it would be much safer. Plus, Xu Yan wanted to gain merit, as Mr. Ren's father had evolved into a flying zombie after reappearing, and those bitten by him evolved quickly. Who knew, he might gain some merit.
Xu Yan longed to gain a lot of merit every day. Such a good opportunity couldn't be missed.
Uncle Ninth, who had intended to go and see it himself, found Xu Yan's reasoning convincing.
"Then handle it carefully and come back immediately if you encounter the zombie. You're not its match yet."
"I understand."
Arming himself, Xu Yan gave Ren Tingting a reassuring look and followed Wai out of the Yizhuang.
The town was a distance from the Yizhuang. Wai discovered the bodies, ran to the Yizhuang, and then went back with Xu Yan. It took quite a bit of time back and forth. When Xu Yan arrived in the town, it was already the middle of the night.
After the last scare, Wai didn't dare bring the bodies to the yamen. He could only let his men watch them and go fetch help.
One, two, three...
Five people had been brutally killed, more than in the original movie plot!
Xu Yan didn't expect zombie to become so ruthless. He also realized how tricky the situation was.
The more human blood a zombie absorbs, the stronger it becomes. The more people Mr. Ren's father killed, the more dangerous he became.
"Xu Yan, what should we do?"
Looking at the bodies lined up on the ground, Wai was terrified. The other members of the security team were equally afraid, pointing their guns at the bodies in case they suddenly jumped up.
There was also a lot of glutinous rice and black dog blood scattered around, making Xu Yan both laugh and cry. Was it really necessary?
However, their precautions were decent, as these bodies were indeed undergoing zombie transformation.
Xu Yan crouched down and examined the necks and eyes of the bodies. He found that their eyes were starting to turn green, a sign of impending zombie transformation.
"Stand back, these people are about to turn into zombies." Xu Yan stood up to remind them.
"What?!"
The group was scared enough to run away with their guns.
A common peach wood sword appeared in Xu Yan's hand. As soon as the first body started to move, the peach wood sword stabbed into its chest without a sound. Those poor zombies hadn't even had a chance to rise before being killed by Xu Yan.
"Ding! Zombie killed, 50 merit points gained."
"Ding!..."
Five zombies, the most ordinary ones, awarded Xu Yan 250 merit points. With the 100 points he originally had, Xu Yan now had a stockpile of 350 merit points.
This trip was very worthwhile. Xu Yan took out a Fire-Inducing Talisman and threw it down, burning the bodies.
As for finding firewood, Xu Yan didn't have the time. He needed to get back immediately, as zombie was preparing to attack the Yizhuang.
"You, bury the ashes of the bodies and then go home and wait."
Wai instructed his men to handle the subsequent trouble and followed Xu Yan back to the Yizhuang.
Actually, he didn't need to make another trip, but he was scared. He felt that only where Xu Yan and Uncle Ninth were was safe.
Little did he know that the Yizhuang was the most dangerous place that night. Mr. Ren's father had bitten five people and absorbed enough human blood, so he wouldn't continue. He would go directly to seek revenge on Ren Tingting and Uncle Ninth.
Xu Yan was also a target.
When Xu Yan and Wai returned to the Yizhuang, it was still quiet. Qiusheng and Wen Cai were still busy sprinkling glutinous rice.
"How's the situation?" Uncle Ninth asked as soon as he saw them return.
Xu Yan shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, five people have died, and all five had undergone zombie transformation when I arrived. Ren..."
Ren Tingting was nearby, so he had to stop. "The zombie's power has become much stronger, and those bitten undergo zombie transformation very quickly."
Ordinary zombies take a day and a night or even longer to turn someone into a zombie, but those bitten by Mr. Ren's father only took a few hours.
Uncle Ninth's face was solemn. He could tell that zombie had definitely become a flying zombie. The zombie poison of ordinary hopping zombies wasn't this strong.
"Come in first, rest for a while. There might be a big battle soon."
