Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Several girls were immediately drawn to the scene, craning their necks and getting into "watching the show" mode.

Just as the man was about to strike the young man, no one had time to react.

Suddenly, a woman with an amazing figure rushed out and blocked the young man's way.

"Don't be impulsive!"

She spread her arms to protect the young man behind her, but the man with bloodshot eyes kicked her in the chest, sending her flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

Li Lingling tugged at Yan Ruyu's sleeve and whispered something in her ear.

"Look at that woman who got kicked, her breasts are huge."

Yan Ruyu's face flushed red. She reached out and lightly tapped Li Lingling's shoulder, scolding her in a low voice, "You're shameless! Brother Lin is right here!"

Lin Yi's lips twitched.

His hearing was excellent; although Li Lingling's muttering was soft, he heard every single word.

These girls are all incredibly fierce in private.

Shi Chun finally reacted, rushed forward, and quickly subdued the man who was slashing.

Meanwhile, Li Jingchun, with a lewd expression, ran up to the big bear girl, Amei, squatted down, stared intently at her chest, and asked with a look of heartache:

"Is your bear alright?"

Amei raised her hand blankly, pointed to her bleeding fingertip, and said speechlessly, "My finger is injured!"

"Pfft."

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh when she saw this familiar scene.

Li Jingchun's level of depravity is probably only comparable to that of Zhu Bajie from "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back".

Seeing this, Shi Chun lost his composure, glared fiercely at Li Jingchun, and roared:

"Get over here right now and take him back to the police station!"

Li Jingchun trembled from the shout and slunk over to help Shi Chun escort the man.

Shi Chun handed the man who was stabbing people over to Li Jingchun for safekeeping, then his gaze suddenly shifted and landed on a shadowy spot on the street corner.

A young man was squatting in the corner, his gaze seemingly glancing at Lin Yi and her group.

That person was Yang Shihua.

Shi Chun recognized him; after all, he had been the police chief of the South District Police Station for quite some time, and he had met almost everyone in Banwan Village who was well-known.

Yang Shihua is the village chief's grand-nephew. He usually idles around and doesn't have a proper job. He spends his days wandering around the island.

Why would he follow a few tourists from out of town?

Are they planning a kidnapping?!

Shi Chun began to have doubts.

He had always suspected that there was something shady going on in Banwan Village.

The people in this village are incredibly wealthy, rolling in money, yet they neither farm nor fish at sea, and there are hardly any decent factories or shops on the island.

Where did the money come from?

It's either drug manufacturing or other highly profitable illegal activities!

Shi Chun didn't make a sound, but quietly winked at Chen Longshi, signaling him to follow him.

Taking advantage of the noise of the opera troupe leaving, the two followed Yang Shihua at a distance.

After leaving the village, Lin Yi and the others walked south for about ten minutes and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Looking up, a small waterfall, resembling a silver ribbon, indeed hung halfway up the mountain.

"Look! A waterfall! It must be on the mountain!" Nianying exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the waterfall.

"Let's go, let's go up quickly!" The other girls also got excited, as if the treasure was already within reach.

Lin Yi's gaze drifted to the other side.

In a depression on the right side of the mountainside, an unseen tragedy is unfolding.

The adulterer who looked like Master Qianhe was being sucked into the ground by the restrictive mechanism, and soon he died.

The accomplice who dropped the yellow paper at the entrance of the grocery store, though he narrowly escaped death, was seriously injured and was stumbling down the mountain.

He was probably panicking and lost his footing. He stepped into a hole and tumbled down the hillside, finally hitting a large rock in the ravine and losing consciousness.

Judging from his injuries, his life could be in danger if not treated promptly.

In the original series, he also kicked the bucket after giving the treasure-hiding incantation to Ninth Sister and the other two.

Lin Yi remained unmoved. The lives of those two were not a concern for him.

Further away, the tracking team, which originally consisted of only Yang Shihua, had expanded to seven people.

Six burly men wielding machetes appeared out of nowhere and followed him silently.

Behind this group of people, Shi Chun and Chen Longshi followed.

Shi Chun's face was filled with barely suppressed excitement; he felt that he might be about to solve a major case this time.

If he follows them for a while longer, and waits for them to make their move in a secluded place, he can then legitimately arrest them.

……

The mountain path was not easy to walk, and apart from Ren Qingqing, the other girls were all a little out of breath.

But their enthusiasm remained undiminished; they chatted and laughed all the way, holding hands as they climbed up, one step at a time.

They're just like those reckless students in the American Horror Story series.

Soon, they arrived at a stone pavilion halfway up the mountain.

The stone pavilion is quite old; most of the red paint on the pillars has peeled off, and there is a stone table inside.

In the center of the stone table is a powerful and vigorous character "发" (fa).

Lin Yi knew that these were clues found by several main characters in the original drama.

"Look! There's a 'prosperity' character on it!" Li Lingling shouted, pointing at the stone table.

Lin Qingqing took the initiative, and suddenly she bent down and pressed her ear against the stone tabletop.

A moment later, she suddenly looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "There really is the sound of running water! It's right under the table!"

"And there's 'the sound of flowing water'... We're not far from our destination!" Yan Ruyu clapped her hands.

"The stream still flows south of the village..."

Several girls gathered around the stone pavilion, chattering and analyzing for a while, before quickly making a decision.

Instead of taking the road leading to the mountaintop or the main road to the waterfall, we took a small path to the south that was almost completely overgrown with weeds.

Lin Yi followed behind them, and couldn't help but sigh:

As expected of someone destined for the main characters, she's quick-witted and lucky.

He didn't give them any hints along the way, but they seemed to know their destination all along.

There were many forks in the mountain path, but they didn't take a single wrong step.

After walking south for a short while, the sharp-eyed Nianying was the first to exclaim, "Look! There's a sign over there!"

Looking ahead, everyone saw a wooden sign crookedly stuck in the grass.

The words "Private Property" were clearly written above it.

"Yay! We found it!" The girls cheered and high-fived each other in celebration.

Lin Yi stepped forward and glanced down at the depression below that resembled a meteorite crater.

He held out his hand, gesturing towards the girls:

"Come on, everyone hold hands. Qingqing, you hold Li Lingling and Nianying's hands."

Li Qingqing, Lin Xiaohua, Yan Ruyu, hold my hands tightly. Let's go down and take a look.

The girls were a little shy at first, but when they thought about the treasure right in front of them, their shyness was instantly overwhelmed by excitement.

Li Qingqing and Yan Ruyu took Lin Yi's hands openly and generously.

When Lin Yi held Lin Xiaohua's hand, he could clearly feel that her palms were sweaty, her fingers were icy cold, and her pulse was pounding like a drum.

He gave her a meaningful look, just as she secretly looked up at him.

When their eyes met, Lin Xiaohua's cheeks turned bright red, almost as if they were on fire.

She hurriedly lowered her head, but her fingers involuntarily tightened their grip on Lin Yi's hand.

Everyone was busy watching the path beneath their feet, and no one noticed the subtle interaction between Lin Yi and Lin Xiaohua.

Only Ren Qingqing seemed to have noticed something, and turned to look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi gave her an innocent look, and Ren Qingqing snorted softly without saying anything more.

Soon, they reached the bottom of the depression.

In the very center of the depression, there was a thick layer of bluestone slabs, covered with densely packed runes.

In the very center of the bluestone slab is a raised, circular stone disc, on which a yin-yang symbol is carved.

"There are restrictive mechanisms on this, it's very dangerous, don't touch those two fish eyes."

Ren Qingqing had trained with Master Yixiu for a period of time, so her eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people. She saw through the secrets of the yin-yang symbol at a glance.

"There's a hole in the middle, it must be a keyhole. We need to find the key, and it should be hidden in those two lines of incantation," Li Lingling said.

"Should we go down the mountain first?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"No need, you all step back."

Qingqing glanced at Lin Yi, and after he nodded, a flash of silver light appeared in her eyes, and she punched the yin-yang fish.

"boom!"

A dull, loud thud made the entire depression tremble.

A large yin-yang fish-shaped stone disc, carved from a single piece of bluestone, was smashed to pieces, with stone chips flying everywhere and dust billowing into the sky.

The Yin-Yang symbol's restriction was forcefully broken through by this punch.

Li Lingling, Yan Ruyu, and the others were all stunned.

Even Nianying's mouth was agape, unable to close it for a long time. She had never seen Qingqing so violent before.

Those people hiding in the shadows were also dumbfounded.

Smashing a half-foot-thick bluestone slab with a single punch—is this guy even human?
