Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Having taken over Hong Kong Island for only seven days, the Lin Ming Underworld is already operating on a fast track.

Every day, a large number of souls are escorted in by ghostly soldiers.

Every night, the three judges, Shek Kin, Uncle Nine, and Lung Chi, personally lead a team to Hong Kong Island to clear away the lingering ghosts. When they return during the day, they still have to review mountains of case files. They are all so busy that they barely have time to breathe.

Because of Ah Cha's past neglect, coupled with historical and geographical reasons, there are several times more ghosts lingering in the mortal world than living people on Hong Kong Island.

In the past, Acha was too lazy to care, and as long as they didn't cause any major trouble, she let them roam around in the mortal world.

But now that Lin Yi is in charge, the rules are different.

Whether they are Chinese or foreigners, they are treated equally.

Those that should be confiscated will be confiscated, those that should be investigated will be investigated, and those that should be reincarnated will be reincarnated.

A large number of ghosts who had not yet met the criteria for reincarnation settled in the underworld, making the originally quiet underworld lively.

The places where they gather become ghost cities, ghost towns, and ghost villages, which, apart from looking eerie, seem not much different from the mortal world.

Because of the luxurious villas, servants, cars, and other things burned in the mortal world, many places look even more prosperous than the mortal world's port island.

Similarly, wherever there is a gathering place, commercial activities will occur, with ghost money used as the currency for transactions.

Yang Feiyun also opened a Tiandi Bank in each gathering place, keeping him extremely busy.

Of course, the situation is also very tragic. Those lonely ghosts who have no one to worship them have no houses and can only wander around like vagrants.

However, the environment of the underworld is not like that of the mortal world. The yin winds of the underworld are sometimes like knives, capable of causing ghosts unbearable pain.

The rain in the underworld is far less gentle than that in the mortal world; when it hits a soul, it's like steel nails falling from the sky, enough to break your head and draw blood.

Winter cold snaps, attacks by creatures from the underworld, and other such things can cause unbearable pain to wandering ghosts.

Let alone the lonely ghosts without houses, even the wealthy ghosts living in villas are finding it hard to bear and are hoping to be reincarnated as soon as possible so they can no longer suffer in the underworld.

That's why so many ghosts linger in the mortal realm and are unwilling to enter the underworld.

Even when the gates of hell open wide on the 14th of the seventh lunar month each year, some ghosts take the opportunity to escape the supervision of the ghost messengers.

The plot of the previous "Zombie Supreme" unfolded based on this reason.

Of course, not all places in the underworld are bitterly cold. The capital city of the underworld, where the King of the Underworld and the gods reside, is a place like paradise.

Unfortunately, only underworld officials and ghosts with good karma are qualified to stay there for long.

Of course, the City of the Wrongfully Dead is an exception. It is a charitable institution specially left behind by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva out of compassion for the wrongfully deceased ghosts whose lifespans have not yet ended.

With the sweeping actions of Shih Kin and his men, Hong Kong Island experienced thunder and lightning almost every night during this period.

As the ghostly soldiers passed through, the ghost messengers bound souls, and the Black and White Impermanence ran through the streets carrying soul-catching chains, while the Night Wanderer Kuang Guohua led his team on patrols.

The living people on Hong Kong Island have no idea what's going on, they just feel that there have been a lot of thunderstorms lately, and they are often awakened by muffled thunder in the middle of the night.

Only those Taoist priests and sorcerers with the ability to see ghosts could vaguely sense that the order of the Yin and Yang realms was undergoing an unprecedented overhaul.

Everyone else was busy, but Lin Yi, the King of the Underworld, was left with nothing to do.

His original plan was to try to actively participate in the plot by checking the Book of Life and Death.

At that time, Hong Kong Island had a population of four to five million, which was significantly more than the population at the same period in normal history.

There are a lot of people with the same name. He patiently flipped through the Book of Life and Death for several days and found the names of several movie protagonists.

Unfortunately, they are all just people with the same name. The only plot I could find was from a movie called "The Devil's Child".

"The Demonic Embryo" tells the story of a demon dwelling in an antique vase who conceives a demonic fetus by violating women in order to achieve resurrection.

Lin Yi snapped up the vase first, pulled out the demon inside, and fed it to the Five Demons.

The story reward arrived shortly after: an S-rank rating. However, the prize left him speechless; it was none other than the legendary Five Paths Demon God.

The Five Paths Demon God is neither the Five Gods of Wealth nor the Five Manifestations God, but an evil god known as the Silver Demon.

A male silver demon that looks exactly like Huang Chunsheng, with a completely silver-white body and a hideous face.

The founder of Maoshan once used the Five Elements Corpse God Formation to eliminate one of them.

Its strength is not weak. It already has the combat power of a jumping zombie when it is just formed. With some training, it can easily reach the level of flying zombie or above, but below the level of bone-dissolving.

But Lin Yi felt extremely disgusted when she saw its face, which looked just like Big Yellow's, and immediately killed it.

This was the first time he had personally killed a system reward. There was no other way; it was simply unusable, after all, it was a Silver Demon.

After "The Devil's Child," Lin Yi never found any other storylines.

This period was a blank period for supernatural films in Hong Kong. Many plots were either not yet ready for release or had already been ruined by its butterfly effect.

He eventually gave up searching, since flipping through the Book of Life and Death was too tedious; with four or five million names, it was more tiring than looking at a dictionary.

That day, he went to the Reincarnation Palace to find Ren Tingting, only to find her staring blankly at a silver spear.

The gun was entirely silver-white, with a slender barrel and a sharp, frosty tip.

The gun exudes an extremely cold aura; holding it in your hand is like holding a solidified moonlight.

"What is this?" Lin Yi asked.

Ren Tingting shook her head: "I don't know either. It just suddenly appeared in my hand, and I also gained a lot of knowledge about marksmanship."

And it seems I can even absorb it into my body, like it's part of me.

This gun looks familiar.

Lin Yi narrowed her eyes slightly. The aura of this divine weapon matched Ren Tingting's, as if it were a natal weapon tailor-made for her.

The silver spear, the chilling aura, and the sudden appearance of her knowledge of marksmanship in her mind.

He suddenly remembered Yang Feiyun's eight words.

Neither born nor die, there is no cause and effect.

"Hehe, so it was him!" Lin Yi was almost certain who had helped Ren Tingting back then.

Kunlun, in calamity.

Cold Electric Silver Gun.

What Lin couldn't understand was why Jie would help him?

He had never met Zai Jie before, let alone had any relationship with him.

If it was a scheme by the robber, what was he after?

But it doesn't matter. Whether he has ulterior motives or is just a nice guy, since he saved Ren Tingting, he should accept the favor.

"What do you mean, 'him'?" Ren Tingting asked.

"It's nothing." Lin Yi shook his head and took the silver spear from her hand to examine it closely.

In addition to the cloud patterns on the surface of the gun, there are also extremely fine runes all over the gun body, which are completely different from the runes in the cultivation world.

"By the way, have you adapted to the work of reincarnation?" Lin Yi handed the silver spear back to her.

Ren Tingting sheathed her Cold Lightning Silver Spear, a confident smile spreading across her face: "Of course, don't you know who I am? The first wife of King Hades!"

"Oh no, I still need to go check on the Well of Reincarnation!" she exclaimed, and hurriedly left.

Lin Yi smiled and shook her head, then her figure slowly faded away.

He left the Palace of Reincarnation and did not return to the Palace of the Underworld. Instead, he teleported directly to Liu Qiu.

Since Dai Meng stayed in Liuqiu to oversee the country, he would come to visit every few days.

In a side hall of the Liuqiu Royal Palace, Daimeng was receiving foreign envoys.

Lin Yi watched from the sidelines as her queen, dressed in a modified traditional liuqiu costume, sat regally in the main seat, conversing with several foreigners with impeccable manners.

Those foreigners were dressed in suits and top hats; they were clearly diplomats from Britain and the United States.

"Your Majesty," the British envoy spoke first, in English with a heavy London accent.

"On behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, I formally recognize the sovereign status of the Kingdom of Lewd and propose that the two sides establish formal diplomatic relations."

"On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I also recognize the sovereign status of the Kingdom of Liuqiu."

The envoy from the Bald Eagle continued, "We have noticed the formidable defensive capabilities demonstrated by the Flowing Dragon in the war, and hope that both sides can establish diplomatic relations on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and explore some issues of common concern."

Dai Meng smiled slightly and replied in fluent English, "Thank you both for your recognition. The Kingdom of Liuqiu is willing to establish friendly relations with all countries."

Regarding issues of common concern, we can discuss them further in our subsequent talks.

Her diplomatic language was perfectly appropriate, neither servile nor arrogant, and always polite.

Lin Yi saw this and felt quite gratified.

This woman can be a real headache when she's head over heels in love, but she's definitely got a knack for handling government affairs.

Now that she has opened up the situation through diplomatic means and established diplomatic relations with both Britain and the United States, she can now legitimately seek recognition from more countries.

After the talks ended, Dai Meng saw off the British and American envoys and then turned around to see Lin Yi.

A smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she ran over to him, throwing herself into his arms: "You're here!"

"You did a good job." Lin Yi put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the forehead.

"Of course." Dai Meng raised her head and proudly gestured with her chin. "But those foreigners kept asking about laser weapons in a roundabout way, so I did as you said and gave them the wreckage of a few Zero fighter planes."

Lin Yi smiled.

Laser weapons are such a revolutionary technology; if you give them a few pieces of aircraft wreckage that have been cut by thermal imaging, it's no wonder they can't research and develop them.

"Oh, right, someone from Shancheng has arrived." Dai Meng suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously, "It's a man named Li Ya, who says he's a special envoy."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

Li Ya?

He recognized the name; hadn't he already told Zuo Lan his identity?

He didn't die?!

This guy is incredibly lucky!

In the original series, after he was exposed, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics replaced him with Manager Qiu.

It's unclear who he traded with this time, but this also indirectly demonstrates his value.

"Let him come to see me."

When Li Ya was brought to a side hall of the palace, he was shocked to see Lin Yi. He never expected that the warlord he had met before would now be the ruler of a country.

They also achieved a record that shocked the world, wiping out most of the small country's air force.

A few days ago, bald eagle planes were ravaging the skies over my hometown every day.

If they hadn't formed a suicide squad, disregarding casualties, and sent people with only basic training to fly planes and fight the bald eagles to the death.

Their lives are probably in complete disarray right now.

He originally thought it was just someone with the same name, but he never expected it to be the same Lin Yi he had met before.

Who would have thought that such a legendary figure was actually a warlord, and just the leader of a lowly militia?

"We meet again, Feng Jian. Why have you joined forces with the old general?" Lin Yi smiled and shook hands with him.

"Special envoy Li Ya from the mountain city has met with King Lin."

Li Ya gave Lin Yi a military salute, then deliberately acted as if they were old acquaintances, and with a stern smile, said:

"To be honest, I've always been one of them; I just wanted to infiltrate their ranks."

"Oh? I see. So you've been found out?" Lin Yi said with a look of sudden realization.

Li Ya's face stiffened slightly, but he quickly recovered and said, "I was discovered. I was discovered right after Your Majesty made the handover with them. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to escape unscathed."

"King Lin, I have a letter here that my superiors asked me to pass on to you. Please take a look."

After saying that, Li Ya took out a letter from his wallet and handed it to Lin Yi with both hands.

Lin Yi casually took the letter, glanced at your name on the envelope, scoffed, and tossed it aside.

"There's no need to read the letter. To have a spy chief talk to me like this, it seems you really don't take me seriously."

Since that's the case, then we have nothing more to say. With this kind of situation, you're destined to lose to the other side in the future.

Li Ya felt somewhat displeased, even though he also thought that doing so was inappropriate.

But he is one of the few people in the country who still has faith, so naturally he hopes that the country will get better and better.

Even though he greatly admired Lin Yi's actions in eliminating the Little Days Air Force, such admiration was insignificant compared to the destruction of his beliefs.

Just then, Dai Meng walked in, glared at Li Ya, and whispered a few words in Lin Yi's ear.

Seeing this, Li Ya felt something was wrong. Had his colleagues done something stupid?

Sure enough, his worries came true the next second, and Lin Yi's face darkened instantly.

"Fine. So not only do you look down on me, but you also have the wicked ambition to covet our top-secret weapons. I see you are utterly lawless."

"Guards, take Li Ya to the dungeon and interrogate them thoroughly."

Li Ya's expression changed, and he cursed inwardly, "Damn Ma Kui! Damn Yu Zecheng! They actually acted on their own. What a bunch of stupid idiots who could be in a museum."

But it was no use saying anything at this point. He didn't want to be caught like this; he still had many things to do.

He glanced at Lin Yi and Dai Meng; the distance between them was less than three meters.

If we take them hostage, there might be a glimmer of hope, or even... we might be able to obtain the secret of the laser weapon.

Li Ya was a decisive person. After making up his mind, he instantly pulled out two small daggers from the gap in his belt and rushed towards Lin Yi and Dai Meng on the other side.

Lin Yi looked at Li Ya rushing over with amusement.

This guy is indeed a decisive person, but unfortunately he chose the wrong opponent.

"court death!"

Dai Meng's eyes turned cold, and she appeared in front of him as if she had teleported, grabbing his neck and instantly draining his blood.

Just then, a stream of information from a blue teardrop appeared in his mind—
