Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Upon arriving at the inn, Ren Tingting was also taken aback when she saw Qingqing. She looked Qingqing up and down several times before smiling and saying, "You must be Qingqing. I'm Ren Tingting. You really do look exactly like Zhuzhu."

"Hello, Sister Tingting." Qingqing greeted her shyly.

"You must be Master Ikkyu. Thank you for taking care of Qingqing over the years," Ren Tingting said to Master Ikkyu.

Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, she trusts Lin Yi's judgment and has already decided in her heart that Qingqing is her family.

Master Yixiu quickly returned the greeting with his palms together: "Madam Lin, you are too kind. Qingqing is my disciple, it is only right that I take care of her."

"Let's eat first," Lin said, interrupting as the dishes were already on the table.

During the meal, Lin Yi also learned that Qingqing was from Yueyang in southern Hunan.

When Master Ikkyu met her, she was only twelve years old. Because she was often hungry, she looked only eight or nine years old. She was so thin that she was skin and bones and picked up vegetable leaves to eat by the roadside.

Master Ikkyu was kind-hearted and took her back as his disciple.

Ren Tingting's eyes reddened after hearing this, and she immediately made a decision: if her uncle didn't acknowledge her, she would acknowledge this younger sister, and they would go back to Yun County together. With her handsome brother-in-law Ayi by her side, no one would dare to bully her in the future.

Master Yixiu and Qingqing then realized that Lin Yi was the commander of Yun County.

That night, after Ren Tingting fell asleep, Lin Yi teleported to Cape Sado.

After evolving, his spatial abilities were elevated to another level, with a maximum distance of about 20,000 kilometers. Traveling from one end of the Earth to the other is just a thought away.

Wherever he has been, he can instantly find the spatial node and jump there; a single teleport from Renjia Town to Sado Cape is enough.

Sata Misaki at this point is completely different from when he left.

The entire port town was almost a ruin, as if it had been plowed by heavy artillery, with craters and charred timbers everywhere.

The ruins were surrounded by tens of thousands of Japanese troops, with layers of checkpoints and machine gun positions one after another.

Although it was already past midnight, the beams of searchlights were still sweeping back and forth over the ruins, and wherever there was any movement, a barrage of bullets would rain down on it.

There are still thousands of zombies hidden in the ruins, including many large zombies of the white zombie level. They move among the broken walls and rubble, and when they are occasionally swept by searchlights, they attract a burst of gunfire.

"It seems those hundred Japanese zombies were quite effective; they wiped out a city with just a hundred of them." Lin Yi stood at the edge of the ruins, his gaze sweeping over the zombies struggling in the hail of bullets.

However, these low-level zombies are no match for heavy machine guns and mortars.

"These Japanese soldiers are too ruthless! They're your gods, how could you exterminate them all?"

Lin Yi was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see these zombies suffer such unfair treatment.

He appeared instantly in the ruined city, collecting the zombies one by one into the hanging coffin cave.

There are a total of 1,200 zombies left in the ruins, including 45 white zombies, 100 purple zombies, and the rest are ordinary zombies.

There were also more than four hundred crippled zombies with missing arms and legs, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.

Lin Yi selected eight hundred intact ones and put them into the cave, leaving the rest to continue attracting firepower here.

He then teleported to the vicinity of the Imperial Palace in Beijing.

The walls of the Imperial Palace stood silently in the night, and the guards at the gate stood ramrod straight, holding their rifles.

Lin Yi released all eight hundred starving zombies.

These zombies, having been starving in the ruins for days, became enraged at the scent of living people, charging frantically towards the nearest houses and biting anyone they saw.

Some people even scaled the wall and entered the imperial palace, where they clashed with the guards.

The guards fired a few shots but found the bullets had no effect on them, and they were quickly tackled. Soon, the front courtyard of the Imperial Palace was in chaos.

At this moment, the exorcists of the Imperial Palace made their move.

Some sprinkled holy salt, while others used yin-yang magic, and they quickly subdued more than a dozen zombies that had broken in.

However, before they could even catch their breath, dark golden flames erupted from their bodies, and they silently turned to ashes.

Deep within the Imperial Palace, Xu Fu, who had just emerged from the ancestral charts enshrined by the Japanese Imperial Family, froze before his anger could even ignite.

The moment he sensed Lin Yi's natal corpse fire, he turned and ran, even using his extreme speed ability.

The flames were terrifying—even from hundreds of meters away, he felt like he was about to die of dehydration.

Are you kidding me? He's a zombie, how can he still have such human-like feelings?

Although the royal family is his descendant, compared to his own life, all descendants are meaningless.

Anyway, he still has descendants in the countryside of Shizuoka, so even if they all die here, the family line will not be broken.

He had to find Lan Dali; only in front of this mysterious and unpredictable Five-Colored Messenger could he hope to save his life.

Lin Yi watched Xu Fu's disheveled escape but did not give chase.

The second-generation zombie has reappeared in the Japanese Imperial Palace; he can't think of anyone other than the legendary Xu Fu.

Xu Fu was, after all, a descendant of Jiang Chen. As long as he didn't take the initiative to attack him, he was happy to give Jiang Chen face.

It's just unexpected that Xu Fu would be hiding in the Xiao Ri Zi royal palace. It seems that the legend that he was the ancestor of the Xiao Ri Zi royal family may not be unfounded.

As for the fact that zombies cannot reproduce—Xu Fu was already in his thirties or forties when he was bitten, so it's not normal for him to have children.

As more and more zombies broke into the Imperial Palace, the entire palace fell completely.

Showa Tenko, who had taken sleeping pills, was bitten on the neck by a zombie guard in his sleep. When he woke up, it was too late; he died within a minute.

A burst of gunfire erupted outside—the garrison finally reacted.

Lin Yi didn't want to spoil their good mood of interacting with their compatriots, so he pulled Nintendo out of the cave and patted it on the shoulder:

"Go on, you'll be living here from now on, so take good care of yourself." With that, she teleported away.

The following day, the Showa Cabinet sent a telegram to the nation and allied countries, announcing that His Majesty the Emperor Showa had been assassinated and that they had decided to support the Crown Prince's succession to the throne.

As for the zombie outbreak in JD.com, it was described as an attack on the Imperial Palace by hostile terrorists.

The death of Showa did not dampen the morale of militarists; on the contrary, it made them even more fanatical.

Some people believe that the bald eagle was responsible—only the bald eagle has the ability to send so many zombies to the Japanese mainland without anyone noticing.

Some people have already begun planning revenge against the bald eagle, two or three years earlier than normal history.

Of course, Lin Yi knew nothing about these things and didn't care.

He and Ren Tingting bought white gifts and arrived at the Ren residence early in the morning.

The Ren family mansion was already decorated with white cloth and paper offerings for the funeral, white lanterns hung above the door, and paper money was scattered all over the ground in front of the door.

Ren Ming personally led Ren Zhuzhu to welcome Lin Yi and Ren Tingting inside.

They already knew that Lin Yi was the commander of Yun County, which had more than two thousand men under his command, so they naturally dared not act arrogantly and were polite to the point of being respectful.

Ren Zhuzhu glanced at Lin Yi curiously, a slight thought stirring in her heart.

My cousin's husband is really handsome, much more so than Ah Hao, whom I met at the grocery store yesterday.

It's a pity he's her cousin's man, otherwise she would definitely snatch him away.

Lin Yi also noticed Ren Zhuzhu's strange gaze, but he had no interest in his sister-in-law at all.

Her eyebrows were sparse, and her aura was mixed and chaotic; she was clearly not a well-behaved girl.

God knows what she went through in America. Although he's become quite muscular after being enhanced, he wouldn't dare compare his size to that of the black guy.

Moreover, this woman was no pushover; she actually sold Mamadi's two apprentices to Bald Eagle to become Chinese miners.

So he turned his gaze to Ren Ming, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ren Tingting pulled Zhuzhu outside to talk, leaving only Lin Yi and Ren Ming in the main hall.

Ren Ming had tea served again, his hand trembling slightly as he held the teacup—not from nervousness, but from illness, his knuckles were even turning blue.

Lin Yi put down her teacup and asked Ren Ming directly whether he had ever had a lover in Hunan.

Ren Ming's hand suddenly trembled, and two drops of tea splashed onto the back of his hand.

He instinctively wanted to put on a stern face. If it were an ordinary junior asking him such a question, he would have already lost his temper. But the person in front of him was no ordinary nephew-in-law. He was a warlord who held a gun.

He suppressed his embarrassment, his voice slightly hoarse: "Ayi, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Lin Yi didn't answer, she just looked at him calmly.

Ren Ming felt uncomfortable under his gaze and remained silent for a while. Suddenly, an old incident from more than ten years ago flashed through his mind.

That year, he went to Yueyang to do business. After getting drunk, he had a one-night stand with a widowed fisherwoman. After sobering up, he gave her twenty silver dollars as compensation and never saw her again.

He never mentioned this to anyone, not even his deceased wife.

"Could it be..." Ren Ming's expression changed.

"I've seen a girl who looks exactly like Zhuzhu." Lin Yi picked up her teacup and took a sip. "She was also from Yueyang. She was orphaned at a young age and was adopted by a highly virtuous monk."

He put down his teacup and looked calmly at Ren Ming. "Her name is Qingqing, she's fifteen years old, and she's in the inn in town right now."

"What?!" Ren Ming stood up, then slowly sat back down.
