Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Suddenly, two figures, one fat and one thin, blocked his way.

It was the landlord and landlady, a married couple.

The landlord was wearing pajamas, and his hair was messy and covered in dirt.

The landlady had a cigarette dangling from her mouth, wore a floral pajama top and flip-flops, and had several curling hair clips in her hair.

But Lin Yi could sense completely different energy fluctuations from them.

The internal energy within these two individuals is far greater than that of the three masters combined.

The landlady, cigarette dangling from her lips, stared intently at Lin Yi, her voice hoarse but strong: "Show mercy where you can, leave her a way out, okay?"

The landlord looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression:

"Your body is as hard as iron. Could it be that you have mastered the lost Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, which has been lost for a hundred years?"

Lin Yi didn't answer his question. Instead, she feigned confusion and looked the two of them up and down, her tone slightly probing: "Could you two be the legendary Condor Heroes?"

Upon hearing this, the landlord unconsciously straightened his back a bit: "That's right, I am Yang Guo."

The landlady exhaled a smoke ring, flicked off her cigarette ash, and continued in a gruff voice, "Little Dragon Girl."

The two stood side by side, one fat and one thin, and the contrast with the title of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was so great that Lin Yi almost couldn't help but laugh.

"I am Chen, the leader of the Axe Gang, known as Jade-Faced Flying Dragon!"

Lin Yi said with a half-smile, which, combined with his Chen Chen-like face, made him seem particularly neurotic, "Are you trying to stand up for them?"

The landlord and landlady exchanged a glance, thinking that Boss Chen didn't want to let the three of them go.

This big shot, Chen, easily defeated three top masters single-handedly; his martial arts skills were unfathomable.

Since the other party refused to give up, they had no choice but to strike first.

"Excuse me!" The landlord was the first to speak.

He had mastered Tai Chi to the point of complete control, and with his hands on Lin Yi's wrists, he was about to throw him away.

However, the Tai Chi energy seemed to have vanished without a trace, and Lin Yi's feet appeared to be welded to the ground, with no change in his facial expression.

The landlord's expression changed drastically. He tried his best to pull Lin Yi several times, breaking several of the blue bricks under his feet, but Lin Yi remained unmoved.

He felt like he wasn't pulling one person, but rather pulling an entire building.

Lin Yi reached out and grabbed the landlord by the back of the neck like she was catching a kitten, lifting him up.

The landlord punched and kicked in mid-air, each punch landing on Lin Yi with a dull thud, but Lin Yi didn't even blink.

It looked like a fat cat being grabbed by the scruff of its neck, pawing wildly but unable to hurt anyone; it even looked somewhat comical.

"ah--"

When the landlady saw her husband being carried around like a chicken, she panicked, threw away the cigarette butt in her mouth, took a deep breath, and her chest swelled up like a bellows.

She opened her mouth, and a visible sonic wave burst forth from it, heading straight for Lin Yi's face.

Lion's Roar.

Lin Yi felt a blast of hot air carrying a strong smell of smoke and stale garlic hit her face. The smell was even more unbearable than the Lion's Roar itself.

"Damn, such a heavy tone." Lin Yi frowned in disgust, and with her other hand, she swiftly reached out and lightly chopped the landlady on the back of the neck.

The landlady's roar came to an abrupt halt.

Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed as if her bones had been removed.

"Wife—"

When the landlord saw his wife fall to the ground, he let out a heart-wrenching scream, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"Stop shouting, she just fainted." Lin Yi put him down speechlessly.

The landlord's crying stopped abruptly; his mouth was open, and his expression froze.

He knelt down and checked his wife's pulse, finding that she had indeed just fainted; her breathing was even, her heartbeat was steady, and she didn't even have any external injuries.

He squatted awkwardly on the ground, unsure whether to go forward or backward, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

At this moment, the tailor, the fried dough stick, and the coolie also came over.

They walked up to Lin Yi, clasped their hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you for showing mercy, Brother Chen."

"Are you—you guys alright?"

The landlord looked at the three brutes lying on the ground, then at Lin Yi, then at his wife who was fast asleep on the floor. His expression was a mixture of emotions.

So, the other party didn't really use any serious force from beginning to end, but the couple foolishly jumped out and became the first to stick their necks out.

Sure enough, they shouldn't have meddled.

"No,"

Lin Yi's tone suddenly turned cold. "They've got something to do. They injured my second-in-command, my advisor, and so many of my brothers. If they don't give me an explanation, they can go pick out their burial plots!"

A terrifying killing intent erupted from him.

Everyone present felt their breath catch in their throats, their hearts felt as if they were being gripped by an invisible icy hand, and every pore of their skin screamed "Run!" but their legs were rooted to the spot and unable to move.

"And you two," Lin Yi's gaze shifted to the landlord and the landlady lying on the ground, "you attacked me for no reason. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

The murderous intent surged once more.

The landlord felt as if he were witnessing a real mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Countless severed limbs piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and bones paved the way...

The scene was so realistic that even this seasoned veteran of the underworld, who had spent decades navigating the treacherous waters of the martial arts world and whose hands were stained with blood, felt his stomach churning.

The landlady was jolted awake from her unconsciousness by the murderous intent emanating from her.

She gasped for breath, like a drowning person finally pulled ashore.

"Is this...is this even human? Even the God of Slaughter, Bai Qi, is no more than this!"

The group stared at Lin Yi in shock. They couldn't understand how a gang leader could have such a strong killing intent. Could this big boss Chen be a monster in human skin?

It seems like today is going to be a very bad day!

When they truly faced death, they discovered that they were not as open-minded as they had imagined.

"Wife, let's continue our love in the next life."

The landlord, with tears in his eyes, said to the landlady, his fat hand tightly holding his wife's hand.

The landlady nodded with tears in her eyes, her voice hoarse but incredibly firm: "Husband, I'll marry you again in the next life."

"Everyone, we'll have a chance to spar again in the next life!" The tailor, the fried dough stick, and the coolie looked at each other, and in each other's eyes they saw a longing for life and a reluctance to part with it.

Just when everyone was in despair, Lin Yi's killing intent suddenly vanished, disappearing in an instant like the receding tide.

The suffocating pressure in the air disappeared, and the five people breathed heavily at the same time, like drowning people finally surfacing.

"Hmph!" Lin Yi snorted coldly, her sharp, expressionless face fixed on Chen Chen's, and said impatiently:

"You've crippled my second-in-command and advisor, and all my brothers are injured. You must work for me to atone for your sins. From now on, you're all members of my Axe Gang!"

"Is that all?" The landlord was a little confused.

The tailor and the others also gave Lin Yi a resentful look, thinking, "Why didn't you say it was so simple earlier? Why scare them like that?"

If Lin Yi had suggested they join the Axe Gang before they were in despair, they would most likely not have agreed.

But after experiencing real death threats, they said it was just joining a gang, too easy.

The five men looked at each other, exchanged glances for a moment, and then nodded in unison: "We're willing, we're willing. From now on, we're part of your Axe Gang!"

"Very good." Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction and immediately began assigning duties, "Yang Guo, from now on you will be the second-in-command of my Axe Gang."

Little Dragon Girl, you are cultured and knowledgeable. From now on, you will be the advisor of my Axe Gang, in charge of the account books and gang affairs.

As for the three of you—Coolman, Tailor, and Fried Dough Stick—you're all good at footwork, so you'll be the protectors of the Axe Gang, responsible for training the gang members and maintaining order.

"Me, a clerk?"

The landlady pointed to her nose, looking incredulous. Wasn't this like forcing a duck onto a shelf?

She wanted to protest, but seeing Lin Yi's ambiguous smile, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Oh well, a clerk it is, it's better than death.

Just then, Lin Yi caught a glimpse of two figures sneaking out of the fortress from the base of the wall.

Lin Yi pointed, his voice not loud but extremely penetrating: "Grab those two bastards pretending to be from the Axe Gang!"

Ah Xing and Fatty Cong.

Several henchmen rushed forward and held axes to their necks.

Ah Xing's face was pressed against the cold ground, and he kept calling out, "Brother Chen! Brother Chen! It's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!"

"Brother Chen, we didn't mean to impersonate the Axe Gang!"

We've always admired the Axe Gang and dreamed of joining them!

Give me a chance, Brother Chen!

Fatty Cong was being held down by another henchman, looking terrified and unable to utter a single word, only nodding in agreement.

Lin Yi looked at A Xing, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

This kid is still just a conman and a petty thug, unaware that he is a martial arts prodigy, one in a million.

His meridians were already partially open from birth, and he was only one step away from completely opening the Ren and Du meridians. Once opened, his strength would increase so fast that even the Fire Cloud Evil God would be astonished.

"Then you can join us," Lin Yi said casually.

Ah Xing was still babbling away, clearly having prepared a whole bunch of things to beg for mercy, but Lin Yi's "join" caught him completely off guard.

He stood there stunned for a long while, his eyes wide like two peeled eggs, his face filled with disbelief: "Uh—Brother Chen, you agreed?"

Lin Yi nodded and said casually, "Of course! I'll not only let you join the Axe Gang, but I'll also promote you to the third leader. How about it, dare you?"

Third in command.

From a street thug to the third-in-command of the Axe Gang, this leap is even greater than a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

Ah Xing's mind went blank, his ears were ringing, and it took him a long time to realize that Brother Chen wasn't playing a trick on him, he was serious.

"I'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Chen!"
