The terrifying heavens inside the box

Wang Hao continued looking into the Zombie world within the box, his gaze passing through the blurred old public housing and landing directly on the two tiny figures inside...

……

Inside an old public housing building, on the first floor.

Qian Xiaohao held the Sanqing Bell and looked around at the dark places.

Ah You tugged at his clothes, pressed close behind him, peeking out every now and then, then turning back to look behind him, as if afraid that the zombie would jump out from behind and attack him.

Just then, the person in front suddenly stopped. He hadn't been looking ahead and bumped into it headfirst, like a startled duck: "Did you see a zombie? Where? Where? Quickly, use your Three Pure Bells to deal with it!"

Qian Xiaohao lowered his voice: "Hey! Stop pulling! We haven't even seen the zombie yet, and you're going to tear my clothes already!"

"Oh." Ah-you looked down and then let go of her hand.

He chuckled awkwardly and changed the subject: "By the way, how did you know those four men with umbrellas were underworld officials?"

When Ah-you asked, Chin Siu-ho sighed, "You've probably heard of a revolving lantern, right?"

"When I was about to hang myself, I saw many things..."

Halfway through his speech, he recalled the Taoist priest from his memory who fought bravely to the very last moment. Looking at the cowardly fellow in front of him, he sighed inwardly.

"Never mind, let's go."

The two checked the first floor but found nothing.

Then we arrived at the stairwell.

As Ayou was about to go up the stairs, he saw the other person staring at the ground.

"What are you looking at?"

Qian Xiaohao shook his head and followed him up the stairs.

In the revolving lantern, this is the starting point for the zombies, or rather, the point where Aunt Mei's deceased husband, "Uncle Dong," became a zombie.

The problem is that in reality, Aunt Mei's husband had already passed away.

Where did this zombie come from?

Noticing that Qian Xiaohao's face was wrinkled, Ayou thought he was worried about not being able to catch the zombie. His courage waned, and he slowed down, falling behind.

They went up to the second floor, where there was a house with the door open, and it looked like they had been frightened and run away in a hurry.

The two went inside and looked around: the living room, the bedroom, and the bathroom.

Nothing else was touched.

Not seeing any zombies, he stepped back and even helped close the door.

They searched fifteen floors in a row. Apart from some dark corners, they occasionally found one or two houses with their doors open, and they had to check to see if the zombies were hiding inside.

"Hey! Come here right now, look what I found!"

Ah You's shout immediately brought Qian Xiaohao over.

When they got there, they realized it was...

"Ink line?"

Upon closer inspection, there was also a Luban ruler, and quite a few other old objects.

Qian Xiaohao took the ink line, pulled it out and checked it, and found that it was still usable.

Ah-you leaned closer, "But does this thing really work? I saw in those zombie movies that it seems to be quite useful?"

Qian Xiaohao put away the ink line. "I'm not too sure either, but it's said to be a magical artifact bestowed by Lu Ban, and it's also believed to ward off evil spirits in folk tradition."

"By the way, do you know which place has glutinous rice, cinnabar, or rooster blood? Black dog blood is also fine."

Ayou looked surprised. "No way! You actually think you're a Taoist priest?"

"What if it works?"

Hearing this, Ayou hesitated for a moment, "Then...would boy's urine be okay?"

……

Holding the inkwell that now reeked of a foul odor, Qian Xiaohao's lips twitched.

He looked out the window; it was already past noon.

This search method is extremely inefficient. The old public housing building has 28 floors, and only half of it remains. At this rate, it will take until dark to find it.

That would have been too dangerous!

With that thought in mind, he handed the Three Pure Bells to Ayou.

"We need to split up and search, otherwise, once it gets dark, not only will we be in danger, but the group of people downstairs might also be in danger."

"Once a zombie starts drinking blood, it becomes uncontrollable."

"We still don't know if it has ever drunk human blood; we have to find it first!"

Ayou wanted to refuse directly, but he also understood that the other person was right, so he simply asked again:

"What if you actually encounter a zombie?"

"Then you should lure it upstairs. If I encounter it, I'll lure it downstairs too. If the Three Pure Bells and the ink line are useful, trap it and then find a place to burn it."

"If that doesn't work, run! Run as fast as you can..."

However, there was one more thing Chin Siu-ho didn't say.

He knew that if the Three Pure Bells and the Ink Line were useless...

Even if you run, it's useless.

That inescapable fog will only turn everyone here into food for the zombies.

The two separated on the sixteenth floor. Ah You was responsible for checking from the seventeenth floor onwards, while Chin Siu-ho took the elevator directly to the top floor.

We started from the rooftop and proceeded downwards to conduct the inspection.

But he never expected that he would be so lucky.

Before he even reached the rooftop, he was in a dark corner on the 28th floor.

I saw that zombie, "Uncle Dong," who looked exactly like the one in my flashback memories.

Qian Xiaohao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He wasn't a real Taoist priest after all; he was just an actor in zombie movies.

Even in the fleeting moments, he still died at the hands of his opponent.

And now, I've actually encountered this thing...

Without saying a word, Qian Xiaohao turned and ran, tearing the ink line that had been soaked in boy's urine.

The moment the zombies caught up, he ripped the ink line and flicked it hard.

"laugh!"

The ink line fell on "Uncle Dong's" ferocious face, and the wisps of white smoke and his shrill screams restored Qian Xiaohao's confidence.

He felt as if he had returned to the film set, surrounded by familiar faces...

"Ayu!"

Qian Xiaohao ran into the stairwell and shouted downstairs.

Not long after, a head popped out from the floor below.

"What's wrong?"

Ayou looked up and his mouth dropped open.

Zombies have really appeared!

He's currently locked in a fierce battle with Qian Xiaohao, but that ink line seems to actually be useful.

"Don't just stand there! Come up and ring the bell!"

"oh oh!"

Ah-you then kept ringing the bell and ran up the stairs.

Meanwhile, Chin Siu-ho kept pulling on the ink line of the boy's urine, which tangled around "Uncle Dong's" body.

"laugh!"

As the ink line tightened further, and under the influence of the Sanqing Bell's continuous ringing, the zombie sensed danger and went berserk.

With a swing of his arms, the immense force sent Qian Xiaohao flying over the stair railing.

If the chalk line hadn't tugged at him, allowing him to grab the railing in time, he probably would have fallen right then and there.

Hang in there!

Perhaps inspired by Chin Siu-ho's bravery, Ah-yau gritted his teeth, shook the bell, and finally ran close to him.

The zombie "Uncle Dong" suddenly jumped over and slammed him hard against the wall, causing the Three Pure Bells to fall to the ground.

Ah You felt like all his bones were broken, but when he saw the bell not far away and was about to pick it up, Uncle Dong grabbed his neck hard and kept rubbing him against the wall.

"Cough cough! Let go...let me go!"

Ah-you struggled desperately, but it was all in vain against the incredibly strong zombie.

Just as "Uncle Dong" stuck out his head, about to bite his neck.

A line of ink fell instantly.

Qian Xiaohao, who had climbed over the railing, used a rope to lasso the zombie's neck and dragged it backward.

With his body and hands working in unison, in the blink of an eye, "Uncle Dong" was completely wrapped up like a rice dumpling, only able to struggle slightly from time to time.

"Cough cough, well done! Cough cough!"

Seeing Ah-you's miserable state, Chin Siu-ho was also in a sorry state.

The two, carrying the bound zombie, began to descend the stairs while ringing the Three Pure Ones Bell.

But when he reached the 24th floor, Chin Siu-ho suddenly stopped.

"I need to go get something."

Ayou nodded, leaned against the wall, and shook the Three Pure Ones Bell to suppress the zombie.

Meanwhile, Chin Siu-ho went to room 2442 and found the cell phone that had fallen to the ground. It contained his last contact with his son.

However, at that moment, Qian Xiaohao felt a chill run down his back.

He turned his head and saw two white figures emerge from the overturned cabinet. Like phantoms, they quickly jumped onto the corridor wall and climbed in one direction.

"not good!"

When Qian Xiaohao ran over, he only saw broken ink lines all over the ground, and Ayou frantically shaking the Sanqing Bell and crawling into the corridor shouting.

"Run!"

Qian Xiaohao's heart sank to the bottom.
