The Daily Life of a Zombie Cultivator

...

"fine."

"As long as it tastes good, it's worth paying a little more."

……

However, after Jiang found two pieces of duck blood in the house and sold them to the other party at twice the market price.

The young man didn't rush to leave, but hesitated for several seconds.

This led Jiang Shi to consider whether or not to send a few glycerin suppositories to people.

The young man spoke up.

"I heard you live near the market?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Um, how about you move out for a while..."

???

What does that mean?

but.

The young man didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Jiang Shi was left alone, holding the boning knife, standing there with a bewildered expression.

Dude, I hate riddle tellers!!!

Chapter Five: Top Ten Butchers in the Nation

night.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky.

The bright moonlight, like a thin veil, covered the earth.

The whole city seemed to be radiating a soft glow.

At this moment, in the autopsy room of the Third Hospital in East 7th District.

Xue Gen, wearing a mask, stood by the window with his arms crossed, looking at the slender figure working in front of him, his expression calm.

"Height: 1.52 meters."

Weight: 36 kg.

Blood type: O.

“死亡时间：2025年，10月3号上午9点16分...”

"The fatal wound was three penetrating wounds to the left chest..."

"Surgery to begin now. Time: 8:43 PM, October 3rd, 2025..."

...

Half an hour later.

The female forensic doctor turned around, removed her mask, and revealed a pretty face with glasses.

He leaned back on the bar stool, casually unfastened his leather gloves, picked up his notebook, and asked a question in a nonchalant tone.

"Captain Xue."

"Would you like to hear something new?"

As a long-time friend and collaborator, Xue Gen was well aware of the hidden meaning behind the other party's words.

He nodded.

As a result, two minutes later.

His already somewhat narrow eyes suddenly turned into slits.

"you mean."

"Are there any new changes among those bitten this time compared to the previous batch?"

...

"Correct."

The female forensic doctor calmly pointed to the projection screen on the wall next to her, indicating the corpse with its chest cavity opened.

"look."

"This is the one from the cotton mill."

"His chest cavity is normal, except for the tongue, which shows abnormalities."

As she spoke, she tapped again, and the image jumped to the next one, which was still a corpse with its chest cavity opened.

"This is the anatomical diagram of the barbecue restaurant in East 5 District that you just delivered last week."

"The tongue and throat have become abnormal, but the stomach and lungs are still there."

The video then continues.

"This is Luo Dayong, who was delivered yesterday."

She gestured to the location of her chest cavity.

"The tongue has disappeared, the trachea has become narrowed, and the entire stomach has also developed a certain degree of erosion."

He paused for a moment after saying this.

He turned around, facing the mutilated corpse beside him, and adjusted his glasses.

"This one today."

"In addition to the symptoms mentioned earlier, even the lungs and intestines have become abnormal."

Simply put...

"If this pace continues..."

"Within two weeks, a completely new species could appear right under our noses..."

Having said that, the meaning I wanted to express is quite clear.

Therefore, after remaining silent for a long time, Xue Gen finally asked a question.

"rest assured."

"Someone has already taken over the market."

"There won't be any problems."

He paused for a moment as he spoke.

"So, have we found the transmission route?"

"No," the female forensic doctor replied frankly.

So frank that even the usually carefree Xue Gen was speechless for a moment, and he frowned slightly.

But the next second, the female forensic doctor laughed:

"Although I haven't found a way to do so yet."

"But I discovered something interesting."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the corpse's throat.

“I found the same gap here in all the samples.”

gap?

Upon hearing this word, Xue Gen subconsciously leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the spot the woman was pointing to.

That's where the throat and tongue meet.

At this moment, it is in a bulging state.

Judging from the patterns, it resembles a flower bud about to bloom...

and many more.

Why does this thing look like the grafting interface of a plant?

Therefore, the key to dissemination is…

parasitic?

------

Xiao Jiang felt that the atmosphere at the market had been a bit strange in the past two days.

Not to mention the thing at the entrance that looks like an airport security checkpoint.

It emits a repetitive, incomprehensible "beep" sound every day.

Take, for example, the dead rats that appear in the market from time to time.

All of this gives off an indescribable sense of eeriness.

Of course, what puzzled Xiao Jiang the most was...

It was that same expert rat catcher who was hired by the market manager.

His name is Chen Shaojie, an old man in his forties, weighing over 180 pounds, with more beard than hair.

He wears flip-flops all the time, does nothing productive, and just hangs out with those middle-aged women chatting and gossiping.

Or they would hide in a corner and play cards with the delivery guys.

Or they would come to each stall and brag to the stall owners.

Including my own side...

"Little Jiang."

"what!"

"Your skills are pretty good. Do you know how to butcher pigs? Can you butcher a couple for me for the New Year?"

"I'm busy."

...

"Little Jiang."

"what!"

"Do you want a boyfriend? I have plenty of suitable young men here..."

"Go to hell!"

...

"Little Jiang."

"I'm not here!"

"Give me two catties of duck blood."

"Hey~ I'm back again."

A poor guy reached into the iron plate and scooped out two pieces of duck blood, then weighed them on the scale next to him.

After confirming that the size was correct, I put it in the bag and placed it on the stone platform.

"50, thank you."

The smile on Jiang's face was very businesslike.

However, the skilled rat catcher on the other side did not rush to leave after paying him.
