Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

It seems the Axe Gang has had its eye on the Pig Cage Alley for a long time.

Sure enough, in the story, the second-in-command, Fei Xue, wouldn't have gone to Pig Cage Alley for no reason.

Just then, a henchman stumbled in from outside: "Brother Chen! Something terrible has happened! The second-in-command has fired the 'Cloud Piercing Arrow'!"

Lin Yi thought to herself, "They've arrived."

Fei Xue had already been blown up by Ah Xing's firecrackers, and she herself was kicked away by Coolie Qiang and fell into an empty oil drum.

This was also the trigger for the conflict between the Axe Gang and Pig Cage Alley.

In the original series, Chen Chen personally led his men to Pig Cage Alley for revenge. However, they were utterly defeated by Coolie Qiang, the Tailor, and Fried Dough Ghost, and were forced to retreat in disarray.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Chen Chen spent a fortune to hire Tian Can Di Can, ranked second on the assassin list, to kill the three experts one by one.

This also introduces the real big shots hidden in Pig Cage Alley: the landlord and landlady, a couple who have been retired for many years.

In the end, even the ultimate killer, Fire Cloud Evil God, was removed from the mental hospital.

But now that he's here, he certainly won't waste these three talents.

Rather than letting the crippled and incompetent kill them, it's better to recruit them and use them for our own purposes.

"Walk."

Lin Yi stood up from the armchair, adjusted the collar of his suit, and strode towards the door. "Let's go to Pig Cage Alley."

"Brother Chen, should we call someone?" Master Tian hurriedly jogged up to catch up, cautiously probing.

Lin Yi nodded and said casually, "Take one hundred men."

"Hey you, go call someone." Master Tian casually pointed to a top-notch thug and ordered him in a condescending manner.

The Axe Gang was very efficient.

Within minutes, about a hundred people had assembled and formed a neat square formation in the open space in front of the casino.

They were all dressed in black suits, and each of them carried a short-handled axe that gleamed coldly under the streetlights.

Several top-notch henchmen had pistols tucked into their waistbands, bulging and sometimes peeking out from under their suit jackets as they walked.

Because the storyline has shifted to Hong Kong Island, the Axe Gang doesn't have many guns.

Unlike the original series, they can't just pull out heavy weapons at will.

The British had a very tight grip on arms smuggling in Hong Kong.

It's considered good if a Chinese gang can get their hands on a few handguns.

Pig Cage Alley is not in a remote location; it is situated in a place similar to an urban village and is not far from the headquarters of the Axe Gang.

The car turned several streets, and the scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed from the neon-lit downtown area to the low-rise shantytown, finally stopping in front of a huge cluster of tenement buildings.

Lin Yi sat in the car, looking at the cluster of buildings in front of her through the car window.

Pig Cage Alley looks exactly like it does in his movies.

Several old buildings, four or five stories high, form a huge square, with a fairly spacious open space in the middle. Colorful clothes and bed sheets are hung out to dry on the open space, and discarded wooden planks and rusty tin buckets are piled up in the corner.

The residents of the building were mostly poor people, including dockworkers, street vendors, prostitutes, and refugees with their families.

Pig Cage Alley is somewhat like a modern residential complex, with various shops inside—

Restaurants, barbershops, clothing stores, massage parlors, oil and grain stores, herbal tea shops... there's even a small clinic and a dentist's stall.

It can basically meet the needs of daily life, and residents can solve their daily food, clothing and other necessities without leaving the village.

The residents of the walled city turned pale with fright when they saw the black Ford sedan and the large group of Axe Gang members behind it.

The landlady, as if she had wheels on her feet, strode upstairs in her signature flip-flops at top speed.

Lin Yi pushed open the car door and entered Pig Cage Alley surrounded by a hundred Axe Gang members.

He spotted the fat figure lying in the empty oil drum at a glance; the second-in-command was none other than Fei Xue.

Several of his underlings, also with bruises and swelling, were standing nearby, while the culprits, Ah Xing and Fatty Cong, were hiding in a shed.

"Brother Chen—" Fei Xue called out weakly when she saw Lin Yi, "Help me get revenge!"

"Tsk tsk."

Lin Yi glanced down at him and shook her head.

This second-in-command is practically useless—he could clearly sense the injuries inside Fei Xue's body; her spine was broken into several pieces.

Even if the best doctors in the world performed the surgery, the best outcome for this level of injury would be to save the patient's life, but the lower body would be paralyzed.

Unless he is willing to turn Fei Xue into a zombie, or share his own life force with him using the ability to share life.

But this is impossible!

"You guys, get him out of here and take him to Umbrella Hospital."

Lin Yi gave an order to his bruised and battered underlings.

Without him saying a word, Master Tian waved his hand, and a hundred burly men in black suits surged into the open space of the fortress.

The axes in their hands gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and their heavy footsteps shook the ground like drums.

The henchmen herded the residents of the walled city out of every corner like ducks, driving men, women, and children into the center of the open space, where a huge crowd thronged.

Master Tian originally did not want to come.

But Lin Yi's gaze in the car made him feel uneasy. He felt that Brother Chen was a different person today. His eyes were less affectionate than before and more indifferent.

He had something to hide, so he naturally dared not be negligent and thought he would take this opportunity to make a good impression and regain Brother Chen's trust.

Now that the second-in-command is in trouble, he is even less willing to lose Brother Chen's trust.

That's right, he colluded with the second-in-command. The two were in cahoots and had been falsifying accounts to make money for years.

Their ultimate plan was to wait for Brother Chen to die from drug addiction, then the second-in-command would take over as gang leader, while he would be promoted to the new second-in-command. Together, they would turn the Axe Gang into their own cash cow.

Now that the second-in-command is out of commission, the plan has fallen through.

Standing in the crowd, Master Tian puffed out his chest, struck a loyal dog pose, and arrogantly shouted:

"Who injured one of our Axe Gang members? Those who know what's good for them, step forward, or you'll all suffer!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a pistol from his pocket, closed his eyes, and waved it randomly in the direction of the crowd, moving the muzzle from left to right and then from right to left.

A chorus of terrified screams erupted from the crowd. Several children wailed in fear, and a young woman's legs gave way, causing her to collapse to the ground.

It's clear that they are all ordinary people, not the hidden masters that some people interpret them to be.

"I'll count to three, and if the killer doesn't come out, I'll shoot!"

Lin Yi stood behind, watching Master Tian's performance, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.

Not far in front of him, a lean man in a worn-out short jacket was slightly hunched over, his whole body like a cheetah poised to pounce, his muscles taut, his eyes fixed on the pistol that Tian Shiye was waving around in his hand.

Coolie is strong.

The authentic successor of Twelve-Road Tan Leg.

"One—two—"

Master Tian had no intention of counting to three. He closed his eyes, his finger already on the trigger, ready to fire before he even reached three.

He just wanted to kill people to establish his authority, and he didn't care whether they were murderers or innocent residents; it made no difference to him whether one or ten people died.

But the next second, he followed in the footsteps of the second-in-command.

Kuliqiang's figure shot out from the crowd like a cannonball, delivering a powerful front kick that landed squarely on Master Tian's chest.

The force of the kick was astonishing. Master Tian was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, tracing an arc in the air before landing precisely in another empty oil drum in the corner of the open space.

"Master!" The henchmen were terrified and rushed towards the coolie with their axes.

"Kill him!"

Coolie Qiang remained unfazed, and the Twelve-Road Tan Leg technique unfolded beneath his feet.

The first kick slammed into the shoulder of the henchman at the front, sending him flying before he could even scream, knocking over several people behind him.

The second sweeping leg swept across the ground, and three or four people simultaneously screamed and fell to the ground.

The third whirlwind kick launched him into the air, a 360-degree spinning kick that sent seven or eight people who had surrounded him flying at the same time.

……

But the Axe Gang had a large and powerful force.

No matter how powerful Kuliqiang's Tan Tui was, he couldn't withstand axes coming from all directions at the same time.

Each kick he made had to be precise enough to send the axe flying; the slightest deviation would result in him being struck by the axe blade.

After kicking away about ten more people, he was finally surrounded by thugs who swarmed in from all directions, and several axes were chopped at his neck.

Just then, a burly man with bare chest rushed out from the crowd.

The iron rings on his arms gleamed in the sunlight, and every punch he threw carried the powerful force unique to Iron Wire Fist, knocking the henchmen surrounding Coolie Qiang off balance.

He's a tailor!

His Iron Wire Fist style is powerful and aggressive, with wide and sweeping movements, each punch like a hammer striking a nail.

One of the top henchmen finally couldn't hold back any longer, drew his pistol, aimed it at the tailor, and was about to pull the trigger.

However, a stick suddenly appeared, and its tip lightly touched the gun, sending the pistol flying and scattering into a pile of parts in mid-air.

Five-Legged Eight-Trigram Stick, Fried Dough Stick!

Lin Yi watched with great interest from behind.

He could clearly sense the flow of energy within the three people's bodies each time they made a move.

It's like a refined life essence, flowing along specific routes in the meridians. Each flow instantly boosts their strength and speed to several times or even more than ten times that of ordinary people.

This must be internal energy.

As Lin Yi watched, she suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Qiu Sheng and Shi Shaojian: "Sigh, if I had known that martial arts really existed in this world, I wouldn't have given them the Sunflower Manual. Wasn't this just harming them?"

The combined efforts of three top-tier masters are highly effective against an enemy.

In no time, sixty or seventy members of the Axe Gang lay on the ground, their cries of agony echoing across the scene.

In the original series, Chen Chen had already fled when he sensed the situation was not good. After the three top experts injured more than twenty people, the Axe Gang withdrew.

But now that Lin Yi, their "Brother Chen," is watching over them, they dare not slack off.

Despite this, the remaining people dared not rush forward again.

They held axes, formed a semicircle, and protected Lin Yi in the middle.

"Brother Chen, they're amazing! Let's go!"

"Go, where are you going?" Lin Yi pushed aside several henchmen blocking his way with a gloomy expression.

"Get out of here, you useless bunch!"

He strode toward the three masters.

The three masters, panting heavily, watched him approach.

Even top-tier experts like them had already depleted more than 70% of their internal energy when facing an attack from hundreds of Axe Gang elites.

Kuliqiang's right leg was trembling slightly. He had just kicked dozens of people away, and his knee ligaments were already strained.

The tailor's arm rings had been hacked open by an axe, and his body was covered in a liquid that was hard to tell whether it was blood or sweat.

The fried dough stick was in the best condition, but even his hand holding the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Staff was trembling slightly. This frequency of attacks had exceeded his usual training limits.

As Kuli Qiang saw Lin Yi approaching, he gritted his teeth, tensed his body again, and kicked Lin Yi in the stomach, trying to send the gang leader flying as well.

His kicks are still so fast, so fast that ordinary people can't even see his movements.

But Lin Yi saw it clearly.

He casually stretched out his left hand, and with a light snap of his fingers, he grabbed Coolie Strong's ankle.

That hand was as steady as an iron clamp. The laborer tried his best to pull his leg back, but it wouldn't budge.

Lin Yi flicked his wrist, and Kuli Qiang flew more than ten meters away like a sandbag being thrown.

The fried dough stick and the tailor's pupils constricted simultaneously, realizing they had encountered an unparalleled master.

The two exchanged a glance and attacked simultaneously.

The fried dough stick swept across the ground, its tip aimed straight for Lin Yi's lower body.

The tailor's Hung Family Iron Wire Fist came from the front, a move called Double Dragons Piercing the Ears, with both iron fists simultaneously striking Lin Yi's temples.

They moved up and down, forward and backward, working together seamlessly.

However, their attacks did not harm him at all; instead, their own hands were numb from the impact.

Lin Yi raised his leg and kicked each of them away with one foot each, sending them flying. They landed right next to Kuli Qiang.

They initially thought they were about to die, but then discovered they only had a slight stomachache and weren't seriously injured.

The three men looked at each other, both shocked by the unfathomable strength of the gang leader before them and puzzled as to why he had shown mercy.

The Axe Gang members also looked at Lin Yi with excitement.

They never imagined their leader would be so powerful—three experts capable of taking on a hundred men couldn't even withstand a single move from him.

This absolute dominance in strength caused their sense of awe and loyalty to rise rapidly.

Lin Yi strode toward the three masters.
