A glimpse of opportunity: Start by marrying a mermaid bride.

I am!

It's come back to life! It really has!

Zheng Xuan's eyes widened suddenly, his heart pounded, and he jumped up. He had lived two lives, and this was the first time he had ever seen a real zombie come back to life!

"what!"

Upon seeing this, Yang Dali screamed in terror. Hearing the sound, the female corpse slowly turned her head, rotating it 180 degrees to stare at Yang Dali.

Zheng Xuan's hair stood on end. He saw a table to the side and then looked at the roof beam. With his physical abilities, which were 50% higher than those of an average person, he should be able to do it. Without saying a word, he stepped onto the table, then leaped up and hugged the roof beam. He then climbed up like a monkey and sat on the roof beam!

At that moment, the female corpse slowly got out of bed, her eyes were completely red, and she revealed terrifying ghost teeth.

Has it turned into a zombie?

Zheng Xuan was thinking this, while Yu Biao and the other two were still frozen in place. Seeing this, Zheng Xuan shouted, "What are you standing there for? Come over here!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Biao realized what was happening, looked up at Zheng Xuan who had already gone up to the roof, and Zheng Xuan reached out his hand to him.

Yu Biao also ran over quickly, then stepped onto the table and leaped into the air. However, his physical strength was obviously not as good as Zheng Xuan's, and he couldn't reach the roof beam. Just when he thought he was going to fall, Zheng Xuan grabbed his wrist and pulled him up!

Once seated on the roof beam, Yu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zheng Xuan: "Thank you, thank you."

Zheng Xuan didn't say anything, only saying, "Save them!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Biao and Zheng Xuan both looked at Yang Dali, who was still standing in place, while the female corpse on the other side had already turned around and was about to pounce on Yang Dali.

"Come here quickly!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Biao shouted, and Zheng Xuan added, "Quick, that river floater is about to pounce!"

Yang Dali's face turned deathly pale. He stared at the two men, standing motionless, completely terrified. In his mind, Yang Dali screamed: "Damn it, move!"

But at this moment, his legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move at all. The female corpse then stretched out her hands and jumped towards Yang Dali.

Seeing this, Yu Biao and Zheng Xuan both frowned. But it was impossible for them to risk going down to save Yang Dali. Neither of them were saints, and they weren't stupid enough to risk their own lives!

But seeing Yang Dali being attacked and killed by the female corpse, Zheng Xuan couldn't bear it and asked Yu Biao, "Is there any way to save him?"

Yu Biao's mind raced, and he quickly added, "I heard from my uncle that this newly turned river drifter has excellent hearing. If we can make some noise, we might be able to distract it."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuan looked at Yu Biao and asked, "Do you have anything on you?"

Yu Biao shook his head. Zheng Xuan then patted his pocket and pulled out two silver dollars. Looking at the dollars, Zheng Xuan said, "Let's try anything, even if it's a long shot."

As he spoke, Zheng Xuan suddenly threw the two silver dollars in his hand toward the door. The dollars hit the door with a clattering sound.

Sure enough, the female corpse paused for a few seconds before lunging at Yang Dali again.

Yang Dali was terrified; his legs were trembling and his pants were soaked.

However, just as the female corpse was about to harm someone, there was a whooshing sound as the window was pierced, followed by a rope flying in through the window and immediately binding the female corpse around the waist.

At the same time, the door was kicked open, and an old man walked straight into the room.

Upon seeing herself bound by ropes, the female corpse immediately let out a beast-like howl, baring her teeth and claws as she prepared to pounce on Yang Dali. Just then, Zhou Xun's voice rang out from outside: "Master, I can't hold her back!"

Without a word, the old man pulled a bell from his waist, shook it, and jingled.

A crisp, soul-stirring sound rang out, and the female corpse paused for a moment. At the same time, the old man casually took out a tin wine jug from his pocket, took a sip of wine, and then took out a yellow talisman. The next moment, he spat out a mouthful of wine and stuck it on the female corpse's forehead.

The female corpse froze on the spot.

Before Zheng Xuan and the others could even breathe a sigh of relief, the woman's stomach suddenly burst open, and a bloody mess rushed toward the old man.

The old man remained completely calm. He grabbed the wine jug and took a big gulp. With his other hand, he pulled out his pipe and blew out a mouthful of alcohol. The next moment, with a whoosh, a powerful flame shot out. The bloody mess collided directly with the flame, emitting black smoke. At the same time, the room was filled with a stench like roasted, rotten meat!

When the flames died down, a charred, dead fetus appeared on the ground.

"Zhou Xun, tidy up."

The old man spoke, took another puff of his pipe, and exhaled a smoke ring.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuan looked at Yu Biao and asked, "Who is this?"

Yu Biao said with a face full of admiration, "You didn't even know this person before you came to take the test to be a water ghost?"

"right!"

Zheng Xuan nodded, while Yu Biao shook his head, saying, "You really don't know anything? This is the captain of the corpse retrieval team, a top-tier corpse retriever known as 'Water Ghost Li,' 'Li Jitong,' or 'Grandpa Li!'"

"Water Ghost Li!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuan muttered to himself, thinking to himself, "This is the Water Ghost Li who is going to take me as his last disciple. He seems to have real skills!"

Zhou Xun then entered the room, looked at the female corpse, and asked, "Master, what should we do?"

Li Jitong took a puff of his pipe and said, "The corpse has turned into a zombie; it can't be kept. Burn it."

Zhou Xun said, "Okay."

At this moment, Li Jitong looked at Zheng Xuan and Yu Biao, who were lying on the roof beam, and said, "You two, stop lying there. If you're not scared to death, come down and help us move the female corpse into the yard."

Upon hearing this, Yu Biao and Zheng Xuan quickly jumped down from the roof beam.

At this point, Zhou Xun said, "You guys support my legs, I'll support my head!"

Zhou Xun was taking care of them. You know, there are rules for moving corpses. If you move the feet, you can't see the dead person's face, so you don't have any psychological burden. But if you move the head, you have the biggest psychological burden. You also have to prevent the corpse from suddenly reacting or attacking.

And so, Zheng Xuan and Yu Biao, each carrying one leg, followed Zhou Xun and carried the body out. Zhou Xun then said to Zheng Xuan, "Go get a winnowing basket and move the dead infant out. Remember, don't touch it with your hands."

"Go and gather some firewood."

Zhou Xun pointed at Yu Biao and said that the two of them immediately went to work. Soon, the female corpse and the dead baby were moved out, firewood was placed around them, kerosene was poured on them, and then Li Jitong came out and said to Zhou Xun: "Make a note of this: the sixth day of the Dingmao month of the Zi Chou year, at the Zi hour, a female corpse turned into a zombie and was burned on the spot."

After Zhou Xun finished recording and filling in the corpse compartment, Li Jitong flicked his pipe, and sparks flew out, instantly igniting the fire!
