Ten, Zombie Escape

  Ten, Zombie Escape

  At this time, the house suddenly lit up with a burst of light, and it turned out that Ninth Uncle had brought people from the police station. A large group of people carrying torches rushed in, Ah Wei was the first to be confronted, and when he saw the wailing zombies, he couldn't help but let out a frightened cry, and then retreated even faster.

  At this time, the zombie had been severely hit, and the police who were holding guns also fled towards the gate. How could Jiū Shū let him have his way? With Autumn Birth, he opened the ink cartridge line and shot it at the zombie's body, "pa" a wisp of flame burst out from the zombie's body, being repelled by the evil-warding power of the chicken blood ink cartridge for several meters.

  Suddenly, the zombie was at a dead end and had nowhere to run, so it jumped towards the inner room upstairs. Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat as he thought it seemed to be heading in the direction where Wen Cai and Ren Tingting went. Indeed, at this moment, Wen Cai's cry for help rang out, "Master, Master Uncle save us!"

  Bai Yu shouted loudly while running towards the source of the sound: "Stop breathing quickly, zombies can only sense things outside with their sense of smell!" As soon as Bai Yu's voice fell, Wen Cai let out a miserable cry again: "I have no way to stop it, the zombie is grabbing me!" At this time, Bai Yu arrived at the source of the sound, which was a guest room. He kicked open the door and saw that the zombie's two claws were tightly grasping Wen Cai's arms, and its head was about to lean towards his neck. Ren Tingting was holding a table leg in her hand, hitting the zombie repeatedly, but her strength seemed to have no effect on it. The zombie did not respond at all and was not hindered by her actions.

  It seems that Wen Cai being stabbed by a zombie was destined, but now it's not something that can be delayed. If he doesn't hurry to save him, it won't just be a stab wound, and he might even become a zombie. With a burst of energy, he arrived behind the zombie in an instant, and with a slash of his peach wood sword upwards, "pa" a spark was struck on the zombie's back. The zombie, in pain, slammed Wen Cai to the ground with force. "Bang" The two became rolling gourds. This not only stopped Bai Yu but also blocked Jiu Shu and the others outside the door.

  The zombie might have also known that if Ruo didn't leave, it would be over for him, so he couldn't find a way out either. With one forceful jump, the window shattered and he fell down, looking like he wouldn't be able to catch up anymore. Bai Yu felt somewhat depressed - was the plot really unchangeable? However, he put these thoughts aside afterwards, helped up the injured Wen Cai, and headed downstairs.

  A Wei, with a treacherous character printed on his chest, came forward first and asked anxiously: "How is it? Is the corpse of Jiū Shū Bái Dào Lóng dead or not?" When he saw White Feather and others shaking their heads, he felt slightly disappointed, but then became tense again, looking around and asking: "Then where is he now?"

  "Don't worry, he was seriously injured and escaped."

  Awei let out a sigh of relief, but upon seeing the weak Wencai, he hastily asked: "What's wrong with Wencai?" Jiushu looked at Wencai and replied: "He was grabbed by a zombie." Qiusheng asked at this time: "Will Wencai become a zombie too?"

  Jiu Shu hesitated for a moment, saying: "It's possible." Ah Wei heard this and immediately became tense again, pulling out his gun and pointing it at Wen Cai: "Then I'll kill him now, to prevent him from harming people in the future."

  Bai Yu hastily protected Wen Cai and stopped him: "Don't act rashly for now, it's just a possibility, if we discover it early, there might still be a chance to save."

  A Wei stopped in his tracks and asked, "Really? How can we save him?"

  Bai Yu said, "Use glutinous rice. Glutinous rice not only can cure the poison of the corpse, but also has a preventive effect on zombies." Bai Yu felt that his tone was like selling goods and advertising. "Glutinous rice?" A group of police officers looked at each other and were all eager to move, Ah Wei was no exception. One by one, they couldn't wait for the order to disperse, suddenly rushed away, went back to prepare glutinous rice.

  Several people couldn't help but laugh at the performance of the police officers. At this time, Ninth Uncle said to Ren Tingting: "Tingting, move to my estate today."

  The already wounded and listless Wen Cai suddenly came to life, shouting: "Good!" White Feather Jiū watched with a shake of his head, this kid is beyond salvation.

  Several people returned to the righteous village afterwards, and Qiusheng asked Qiusheng to catch a few snakes back to make snake medicine. Ren Tingting was taking care of Wencai meticulously, while Bai Yu had nothing to do and started drinking alone. At this time, Wencai felt very satisfied in his heart and looked at Ren Tingting with deep affection: "You don't have to worry, I'll be fine soon."

  Ting Ting glanced at him and smiled, saying: "I wasn't worried at all."

  "Are you not afraid that I will become a zombie?" Wen Cai said with a strange tone. Ren Tingting opened her mouth, just about to speak, when suddenly the cold hum of Jiu Shu's voice came from behind her, "Not afraid? That's weird." Jiu Shu walked up to Wen Cai, holding the snake medicine, and pinched his wound hard, asking: "Does your wound hurt?"

  Wen Cai didn't know what Jiu Shu meant and honestly replied: "It doesn't hurt."

  "Meat is all hard and stiff, how can it be sore?"

  Wencai thought it was Ninth Uncle joking with him and said: "Master, you're scaring me again."

  "Scare you," said Ninth Uncle, using a knife blade to scrape off a piece of dead skin from Wenchang's wound, "look, there's no feeling at all."

  Wencai's heart skipped a beat, his face slightly tense as he looked at Jiu Shu and asked: "How could this be?"

  Jiu Shu applied the snake medicine to Wen Cai while shaking his head, saying: "In two more days, the corpse poison will spread throughout your body. By then, even if you're chopped into pieces, you won't feel a thing." Wen Cai heard this and immediately tensed up, asking: "What should I do?"

  Ninth Uncle said heavily, "Move." However, Wen Cai didn't understand what he meant and asked, "What?"

  "Get moving, every part of your body must move, you absolutely cannot stop."

  "What's the point of stopping?"

  "If the blood stops flowing, it will all clog up in one place."

  "What's the use of blocking it again?"

  "It will harden when it is blocked."

  "What's going to happen if it gets hard again?"

  "Stubbornness is stiffness, and stiffness is stubbornness."

  "What's going to happen now?" Wen Cai almost burst into tears at this point.

  "If he becomes a stiff, he'll turn into a zombie. At that time, I won't know what to do either." As he spoke, Ninth Uncle let out a deep sigh, expressing the worry in his heart.

  Bai Yu came to Wen Cai's side at this time and said to the two of them: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. After a while, let Qiu Sheng go buy some more glutinous rice back, grind the glutinous rice into glutinous rice water, Wen Cai, you soak in it for a while and the corpse poison will be cleared."

  Ninth Uncle nodded in agreement and said to Wen Cai, "Not bad, using glutinous rice water is indeed feasible, but you also have to be able to hold on until that time."

  "What should I do now?"

  "Bang" Ninth Uncle somehow pulled out a stick and hit it on Wencai's leg, "What are you still sitting for, hurry up and move."

  Wencai hastily jumped up and started dancing a very creative dance. Then, Ninth Uncle instructed Autumn to "go sprinkle the glutinous rice on the bed from inside." He then turned his head to Ren Tingting on the other side and said: "You go cook some glutinous rice porridge for Wencai to drink, be sure not to let any smoke flavor get in or it won't work." The two of them responded with a "yes" and went off.

  Autumn Born walked out of the inner room and said to Ninth Uncle, "Master, there's only this little bit of glutinous rice left." Only a tiny bit, two things can only be used for one thing.

  "Alright, Tiantian, let's buy some more and cook porridge later, it's all spilled on the bed." Then he said to Wencai who was dancing: "Quickly take off your shoes and get on the bed to dance."

  Wen Cai still couldn't get rid of his habit of talking nonsense at this time, and asked: "Master, I've heard that jumping on the bed means something?" Bai Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this. He patted Wen Cai's shoulder and said: "You'd better say less and hurry up to go, if the corpse poison reaches your feet, it will be very difficult to save you."

  Wencai's face changed colour in shock, he hastily shook off his shoes and jumped onto the bed.

  Then he said to Qiusheng, "Qiusheng, go and buy some more glutinous rice." Qiusheng responded with a sound, then curiously asked, "Will sticky rice do?" Jiū Shū had an indifferent expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine, if you want him to die, then buy sticky rice for him."

  Qiu Sheng glanced at Wen Cai, who was dancing, and chuckled: "Alright." Wen Cai's heart skipped a beat, jumped onto Qiu Sheng's body, and said: "You bastard." The two of them started wrestling.

  Bang! Ninth Uncle's stick made Wenchai behave himself.

  After Dai Qiusheng went to buy rice, Jiu Shu called Bai Yu and the two of them found a place to sit in the main house. Jiu Shu said: "For the next two days, the zombie will not come out again after being seriously injured, but next time it comes out, if you want to destroy it, you'll have to think of a good strategy."

  Bai Yu nodded and said, "I saw a description of zombies in the Maoshan secret technique you gave me. It says that after a zombie becomes a complete entity, its five senses will gradually recover, and its intelligence will also increase. In other words, next time we won't be able to hide from it even if we hold our breath. So next time we'll face a monster that can see, hear, and think like a normal person. Therefore, we must make sufficient preparations. I'll go buy some live chickens later to raise them for immediate use."

  Ninth Uncle said, "This is also good."

  "I'll go first then." As soon as he left the inn, a sly smile spread across Bai Yu's face. He opened his palm to reveal a single strand of hair lying quietly inside. Tonight, he planned to take care of that ghost first, and this strand of hair belonged to Qiusheng.

  He wants to use this hair to perform the "Puppet Technique" to restrict Akio's movements, so that he won't be able to cause trouble like in the original story where Jiu Shu was possessed by a female ghost. The Puppet Technique is a method of controlling people by manipulating their actions from behind the scenes. By taking a strand of hair or blood from the target person and performing the technique, their ability to act will be linked to a straw doll prepared beforehand. At that time, Bai Yu only needs to press a stone on the straw doll, and the effect can be imagined.
