Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Lin Yi's attention lingered on Lin Xiaohua for a few more moments in the study.

He decided to cultivate with Qingqing tonight, since Dai Meng had been monopolizing him lately, inevitably neglecting Qingqing.

That night, after a period of arduous practice, Qingqing fell into a deep sleep, but Lin Yi herself was wide awake.

He leaned against the headboard, and the familiar stream of information from the depths of his consciousness arrived as promised—the plot reward from "The Zombie Master".

"Complete the storyline of 'Zombie Master'."

To change Yang Feiyun's fate, subdue the zombie king Xuan Kui, and kill Count Gao Lusi.

Plot engagement is rated A+.

Rewards: Yang Feiyun's late-game Demon King power boost, Zombie King Xuan Kui's physique boost, a silver cross capable of countering the Vampire Count, and a potion of Forgetfulness Potion.

After looking at the list of rewards, Lin Yi casually pursed her lips.

A+ rating, a decent but not great rating, not as spectacular as the previous S and S+ ratings.

The main storyline of the zombie Taoist priest was not straightforward to begin with. He only completed a few side quests and still got an A+, which was also because Yang Feiyun's role was too important.

As for the four rewards, Yang Feiyun's later-stage Demon King power bonus and Xuan Kui's physique bonus are somewhat noteworthy.

The silver cross and the potion of forgetfulness were just there to make up the numbers.

He opened the blue teardrop and casually received Yang Feiyun's Demon King power boost and Xuan Kui's physique boost.

The Demon King's power boost doesn't transform him into a Demon King, but rather grants him power equal to that of a Demon King.

The Xuan Kui physique is the same!

These two energies are like a meteoric rise for ordinary people.

They could directly possess, and possibly even defeat, the third-generation Pangu zombie in its normal state.

But for Lin Yi, they were merely icing on the cake, their only purpose being to further enrich his foundation.

The power of a demon king merged into his body, like a stream flowing into the sea.

The Xuan Kui physique added a subtle resilience to his zombie ancestral divine body.

In addition, as Michelle's belly grew bigger, Lin Yi's paternal love gradually awakened.

He didn't notice this change at first, but only recently realized that his strength had improved by leaps and bounds without him even noticing.

The power within his body seemed to have been infused with some strange quality—

The same force, the power it could exert in the past and the power it can exert now are almost on different levels.

A growth rate of tens or even hundreds of times!

This is not something acquired through cultivation, nor is it a reward or gift from any special ability; rather, it grows naturally from the depths of one's heart.

Jiang Chen is right, love is the strongest power of zombies.

This unreasonable improvement surprised even Lin Yi.

If the power within him before was the true energy of a mortal, then with the amplification of the power of love, the power within him is a higher level of immortal power and divine power.

It's still the same punch, but the fist used to carry the power of the Zombie Ancestor himself, while the fist now carries something else he can't decipher—

That thing caused a qualitative change in his power, enabling him to shatter the void with a single punch in outer space.

He finally understood why Kim Future was able to kill the second-generation zombie Levi's body while being a fourth-generation zombie.

I also understand why Domoto Shizuka, a mere third-generation zombie, was able to overpower Kuang Tianyou and Situ Fenren, two second-generation zombies who had awakened their battle rune forms.

Ordinary cheats are no match for the cheats that "Love" gave to zombies!

……

The next morning, after eating breakfast prepared by Liu Angxing, Mi Nianying couldn't wait to take Qingqing and Lin Yi out the door.

Because of her pregnancy, Michelle was unable to travel and stayed at home to be cared for by Amei.

Dai Meng couldn't bear to see Lin Yi being intimate with other women, so she simply chose to stay out of sight and mind, locking herself in the cultivation room to continue honing her magical power.

She has recently broken through a minor bottleneck, making it a good time to consolidate her cultivation level.

The driver took the three of them to Lin's Wharf in the black Ford sedan.

This is where Nianying and her classmates agreed to meet. They can take the small passenger ship of Umbrella Shipping Company to the outlying islands.

Lin Yi had already spoken to them yesterday, asking them to reserve one of the best small passenger ships.

……

The sea breeze blows in your face, people come and go on the dock, cargo containers are stacked, dockworkers are busy moving around, ships weigh anchor and sound their horns on the sea, and waves crash against the dock embankment again and again.

When Lin Yi and her two companions arrived at the dock, four beautiful young women were already waiting there, carrying large and small bags.

They wore light dresses of various colors, and the sea breeze made their skirts and hair flutter in the air, making them look like four wildflowers blooming by the dock from a distance.

Lin Qingqing was the first to see them. She raised her hand high and waved, her clear voice calling out, "Nianying, we're here!"

Four girls jogged up to greet Nianying and Qingqing, chattering excitedly.

Lin Yi stood to the side, her gaze sweeping over them discreetly.

Yan Ruyu was the most daring of the four girls, wearing a light yellow halter dress that was dazzlingly white in the sunlight.

Li Lingling wore a sailor-style short skirt suit, which looked like an outfit copied from a magazine.

Lin Qingqing wore a floral dress and had her hair in a ponytail, looking fresh and clean.

Finally, it's Lin Xiaohua.

Lin Yi's gaze lingered on her face for a moment.

It looks even more like it when viewed up close.

She looks even more like Ren Zhuzhu, even down to the mole on her earlobe.

If it weren't for their different clothes, he could hardly tell which one was Qingqing and which one was Lin Xiaohua just by looking at their backs.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Several girls greeted Lin Yi in unison, their faces showing a mixture of shyness and curiosity.

Although they were Nianying's classmates, they couldn't help but feel a little reserved in front of the legendary richest man in Hong Kong.

"Hello everyone. Relax a bit. We're all here to have fun, so it's not good to be too reserved." Lin Yi waved her hand with a smile, her tone casual and easygoing.

After he said that, the girls visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Ruyu was the first to revert to her true self, leaning over to nudge Nianying's arm with her elbow and laughing in a voice only they could hear:

"Nianying, your brother-in-law is really handsome, especially when he smiles. No wonder you've been hiding him from us."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not hiding anything."

Nianying rolled her eyes at Yan Ruyu, but a smug smile played on her lips.

"Xiaohua, you and Sister Qingqing look so alike. Could you be long-lost sisters?"

The girls looked at Lin Xiaohua, then at Qingqing, and couldn't help but tease her.

"Being sisters doesn't necessarily require blood ties. As long as you're willing, you can all be my sisters."

Qingqing wasn't shy at all and greeted them generously; they quickly struck up a conversation.

The group of people chatted and laughed as they boarded the small passenger ship that had been waiting at the dock for a long time.

This passenger ship is the latest purchase of Umbrella Shipping Company. It is painted white all over and has a triangular flag with the Umbrella logo flying at the stern.

The captain was a British man in his forties, tanned almost to the point of being dark-skinned. He greeted Lin Yi with a smile and then returned to the cockpit.

"Set off!"
