Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Lin Yi left the cave, picked up the watch on the table and looked at it; only four hours had passed.

The chirping of crickets came from outside the courtyard wall; it was already completely dark.

He decided to rest in the cave for the night, have a meal with Ren Tingting, and set off again the next day.

The next morning, Lin Yi locked the door of the haunted house and set off towards Guangxi.

This time he didn't teleport; instead, he walked.

However, the ground shortened on its own the moment his foot landed.

Each step covered more than ten meters, like stepping on a miniature map, with the surrounding trees and rocks stretched into blurry lines and rushing past behind.

Shrinking the earth to an inch, an earth-based supernatural power, is not about spatial leaps but about making the earth fold beneath one's feet. This is a natural talent ability that is naturally comprehended after bloodline fusion.

He deliberately activated the spatial aura shield, completely concealing his aura.

The rewards for participating in the storyline are so generous that it would be a huge loss if you scared away the key ghost by revealing your presence.

After walking for about half a day, around noon, a dilapidated town appeared on the horizon ahead.

The wooden door at the entrance of the town is crooked and half of its paint has peeled off, with three words written on it: Tengteng Town.

"It's here!"

Lin Yi stopped and looked up at the three words, a slight smile curving her lips.

This is the small town full of zombies that appeared in the new Mr. Vampire movie. Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai came here to steal zombie tooth powder and almost got trapped in the restaurant by a group of zombies.

He stepped into the town gate, and a chilling aura hit him.

The entire town was eerie and desolate even in broad daylight, with not a single living person in sight.

Every household had its doors and windows tightly shut. Through the broken windows, you could see that the houses were filled with coffins, the bottoms of which were covered in a layer of white frost, and a chill was seeping out from them.

He casually pushed open a half-closed wooden door and went inside.

There were four coffins in the room. The coffin boards were made of the most ordinary pine wood, and they were crookedly stacked together without a single nail. They were only held together by the stench of death.

It was clearly the zombies themselves who made it; under the influence of the corpse energy, it was sealed so tightly during the day that it couldn't be pushed open at all.

He walked around the whole town and counted them; there were at least three hundred zombies in the town.

However, these zombies are all very weak, the strongest being only a white zombie. No wonder Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, two half-baked individuals, were able to escape unscathed from here.

"Let's take it; the Hanging Coffin Cliff is all empty now."

Lin Yi raised his hand and put all three hundred coffins into the Hanging Coffin Cave, filling seventy percent of the empty coffin spaces on the Hanging Coffin Cliff.

Three hundred coffins hung sparsely on the cliff face, finally restoring some of the eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

After collecting the zombies, Lin Yi continued on his way.

The journey was calm and the terrain gradually leveled out, but there wasn't a single house in sight along the roadside.

As darkness fell, only a sliver of the setting sun remained.

He was about to enter the hanging coffin cave when he saw lights flickering in the distance, so he abandoned his plan to enter the cave and flashed to the vicinity of the lights.

There are two adjacent courtyards, and another courtyard behind them is connected to the one in front of us.

The sound of chanting came from the courtyard, and several pieces of clothing hung out to dry in the corner, fluttering in the night breeze.

Just as Lin Yi was about to knock on the door, a loud clap of thunder suddenly exploded overhead, and a pale flash of lightning illuminated the night sky. Then, large raindrops began to pelt down.

"It's raining, Qingqing, hurry up and bring the clothes in!" A deep voice came from the yard.

Then Lin Yi saw a familiar figure run out of the house.

It was a young girl wearing a floral blouse, with her hair in a braid, deftly taking in the clothes from the clothesline.

She pulled off the last piece of clothing and hugged it to her chest. Just as she was about to turn around and run back into the house, she caught a glimpse of Lin Yi standing outside the courtyard gate.

"Who are you?"

Qingqing hugged the clothes and tilted her head to look at him.

It was raining so hard, yet this person was standing in the rain without even using an umbrella, and there wasn't a single drop of water on their clothes. It looked rather strange.

However, she was kind-hearted and didn't think much of it. She gestured with her chin towards the house and said, "It's raining, why don't you come in and take shelter?"

Lin Yi smiled kindly at her.

"My name is Lin Yi, I'm a traveler passing through, thank you."

He followed Qingqing into the courtyard.

The courtyard gate was ajar. Pushing it open, one entered a small courtyard. A kerosene lamp was lit in the main room, its dim yellow light seeping through the crack in the door.

An old monk who looked seven-tenths like Ma Wu was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand and muttering incantations.

As expected, it's Uncle Zombie; this must be Master Ikkyu.

"Master, a passing traveler has come in to take shelter from the rain," Qingqing said casually, putting her clothes on the chair.

Lin Yi bowed to the old monk and glanced around the main room.

A Buddha statue and incense burner were placed on the altar, and several yellowed Buddhist scriptures were stacked in the corner; everything was in perfect order.

"Amitabha." Master Ikkyu looked at Lin Yi and said kindly:

"There's no village or shop around here, young man. If you don't mind the simplicity of my humble abode, please stay here tonight."

Lin Yi smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to thank him, she suddenly sensed a dense aura of corpses rapidly expanding not far away, mixed with the scent of several living people and the smell of blood.

"The zombie has emerged from its coffin!"

"Master, I have other matters to attend to. I will come to visit you later." Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi took a step forward and his figure disappeared from the courtyard.

Master Ikkyu's pupils shrank sharply, and the string of his prayer beads snapped, the sandalwood beads rolling all over the ground.

Qingqing squatted down to pick up the beads, muttering, "Master, why did you break the prayer beads?"

Master Ikkyu seemed not to hear, muttering to himself:

"Shrinking the earth to an inch—this is a legendary supernatural power. How could it be possessed by a young man?"

……

Meanwhile, in the tall forest.

The rain poured down, and large raindrops pounded on the leaves with a loud pattering sound.

A bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, illuminating the entire forest in a stark white light.

Master Qianhe was pinned under the heavy golden coffin lid, one leg stuck between the lid and the soil, unable to move. Meanwhile, the royal zombies were lunging at him.

The torrential rain poured down on the zombies, which were vaporized by the corpse's aura into a white mist.

Its body was covered with fine black fur, its fingernails were three inches long, it bared two fangs, and it let out a low growl from its throat.

The rain hitting its face did nothing to deter its charge.

His disciples tried to come to his rescue, but it was clearly too late.

At that moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him, with its back to him and facing the lunging royal zombie.

The man was wearing a suit, and there wasn't a single raindrop on him. The raindrops slid off automatically when they fell on his head, as if they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

"roll!"

Lin Yi raised her hand and slapped the royal zombie across the face.

With a sharp crack, the old zombie, covered in black hair and radiating ferocity, flew like a baseball hit by a bat, flying more than ten meters away before crashing into two pine trees as thick as bowls before coming to a stop.

It rolled several times on the ground, its neck tilted to one side, and it couldn't get up for a long time.

Lin Yi looked down at Master Qianhe, who was lying under the coffin lid.

The Taoist priest, in his forties, had an upright face, and the resolute look in his eyes had not yet faded; it was clear that he was prepared to sacrifice himself.

In the movie, the Taoist priest Qianhe is a character that makes the audience feel sorry for him.

He was highly skilled and of good character. He led four disciples and a group of incompetent puppet Manchukuo soldiers to escort the royal zombies to Shengjing.

As a result, the car overturned during a thunderstorm and he was bitten to death by the zombies he had personally escorted.

All four of his loyal apprentices died that night.

Lin Yi bent down, grabbed the edge of the golden coffin lid with one hand, and lifted it up.

The heavy golden coffin lid was flipped aside like a piece of foam board and crashed onto the muddy ground not far away with a loud thud.

Master Qianhe emerged from under the coffin lid, sprawled in the mud, panting heavily.

He looked up at the young man in front of him, his lips trembling as he tried to say something, but he choked on the rain and coughed several times before finally managing to squeeze out a sound.

"Thank you—" He wiped the rain from his face. "May I ask your name, my benefactor?"

Before Lin Yi could answer, a deep roar came from behind her.

The royal zombie had risen from under the pine tree, half of its face sunken in, its black fur covered in pine needles and mud.

It raised its head and let out a deafening roar, its body surging with corpse energy, its black fur standing on end, and it pounced on Lin Yi like a wild beast on all fours.

Master Qianhe's expression changed drastically as he struggled to pick up the peach wood sword that had fallen into the mud.

"Be careful, benefactor! This royal zombie is—" Before he could finish speaking, he saw what happened next, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Lin Yi turned around and slapped him again.

*Smack!* This time it was even harder than before.

The royal zombie fell, its neck, as hard as metal, cracked with a sharp sound under the blow, its head tilted at an extremely awkward angle on its shoulder, and half of its fangs were broken off.

The royal zombie's murky eyes, covered in corpse energy, were filled with terror. It convulsed like someone having an epileptic seizure, trying to escape.

But its neck was broken, and the flow of its corpse energy seemed to be obstructed. It could no longer control its body and struggled for a long time but could not get up.

It couldn't understand why this human, who hadn't posed any threat to it, was so strong, so strong that it had no power to resist.

"Hmph! Useless!"

Lin Yi had no intention of taking it in. This dog was indeed a member of the former Qing dynasty imperial family. Even as a zombie, it was still a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. It was beaten like a stray dog ​​wagging its tail and begging for mercy by the Taoist priest with the spirit in his body.

What a spineless coward!

He reached out and grabbed at the air; a ball of dark golden flame flew from his palm and landed on the royal zombie.

The royal zombie let out an extremely agonizing scream, and in the next instant, it was burned to nothingness.
