Pork Butcher - C60

The zombies should be the most widespread legend among the masses. This was due to Lin Zhengying’s series of zombie movies in the 1980s and 1990s, which were not only popular in the mainland, but also the Chinese world in Southeast Asia. Even Sun Yong’s Zombie Enlightenment was because of those movies.

Of course, it’s also because of this reason that they have similar knowledge about zombies as I do, comparable to a noob. That’s why we spent the next few days researching things related to zombies.

In the Qing Dynasty, the era where zombie legends were prevalent was described in detail in Yuan Mei’s < Zi’s Wordless > and Ji Xiaofan’s < Records of the Grass Hall >. However, after reading it, we didn’t find anything special about it.

For example, regarding the four grand ancestors of the zombies, it was that ‘Winning hook’, ‘General’, ‘General’ and ‘Heir’. These were all ancient legends. Whether they were true or false, no one knew.

There was also the formation of zombies. In the “Notes on the Grass-Reading Grass Hall”, there was a division of zombies into zombies and zombies. Corpse transformation was caused by lightning or the touch of a cat. Burying for a long time without rotting was the function of raising corpses.

Because of the imbalance of acid and base, there would be no snake-worm or rat ants, and the natural corpse would also not rot. So if the hair and nails continued to grow and went through some mysterious change, there was a possibility that the corpse would become a zombie.

It was said that this technique could turn a dead person into a zombie, and was extremely evil. It was a taboo technique in the Daoist world, but it was also passed down by bad people. Once in awhile, someone would inherit this technique and cause a storm in the martial arts world.

“Zombies, a combination of heaven and earth’s resentment, the creation of bad luck, immortality, immortality, immortality, being abandoned by the three realms of heaven and earth, unruly, displaced, stiff body, hatred in the human world, eating blood as food, using the blood of the living to vent his loneliness, this is the Hong Kong movie’s explanation of zombies. Although it is nonsense, there is still something to be said about it.” While researching zombies, Uncle pointed to a sentence.

I know, this phrase is very famous, it is “I Have a Date with a Zombie” this television line, very classic, so I quickly asked why.

“To become a zombie, the body and soul must exist at the same time, which probably means that the soul that should have died must have been forcefully locked inside the body. Then, the soul would not be able to be reincarnated, and would only have one result, be turned into ashes. As for grievances, there is a reason to eat blood, and blood sucking by zombies is not fake. Blood has a spirit, and human blood spirit energy is even stronger, so it has a fatal attraction for them,” Sun Yong explained on the side.

“Sucking blood? “Holy shit, doesn’t this mean that we are bringing along a zombie?” I exclaimed before looking at the Pig Slaughtering Knife.

Uncle was slightly stunned for a moment, then laughed, while Sun Yong glared and scolded him. Is this the same concept?

“Enough, stop fighting, it’s useless even if we argue with them, we just need to prevent them from fighting, we don’t want to thoroughly study this, now we are not even sure if they really refined zombies, you have to know that zombies are like a bomb, with the current density of the population, no matter which city, it will be a disaster,” Uncle said as he saw that I was about to start a fight with Sun Yong, he immediately came over to smooth things over.

“I know. Is corpse poison contagious? Human society doesn’t have any antidotes. Other than some legendary methods like glutinous rice, once it breaks out, we can’t leave for a short period of time, right?” I replied.

There were very few people in the fishing villages by the sea, because this was not the fishing village next to the port, nor were there any large docks or tourist destinations. There were only some fishermen, many of them small in number, and there were also large swathes of wasteland, enough for us to fight the enemy.

“To deal with the zombies, I have already sent people to purchase the glutinous rice, the money sword, the Peach Wood Sword, the Eight Trigrams Mirror, as well as the black donkey’s hoof and the black dog blood. Now, all that is left are some talismans, leave the drawing of talismans to Xiao Yong, everything will be fine after I prepare them,” Uncle continued.

“That’s not right, Uncle. What about me? What am I going to do? I can’t calm down and cultivate in the environment before the great battle! I can’t let it go!” I immediately said.

Ever since that day I dreamt of that female corpse, I couldn’t calm my mind and started cultivating. I kept having the feeling that something was going to happen and that even the Tranquil Heart Mantra wouldn’t work.

“Since you can’t relax, fine, I’ll give you a difficult mission. Return to the recovery town and use you as bait,” Uncle said after thinking for a while.

“Ah, Uncle, this is not a joke, is it?” I cried out.

“It’s not a joke. Ever since the fight back then, we had actually already gotten rid of them, and now they are easily unable to find us, so I’m afraid that they will force An Hai and the others to use this method to lure us out. If that’s the case, then we are really too passive, so we might as well you go over yourself.

“Okay, I understand, I agree, when will we go?” I thought about it, then agreed, because I knew, Uncle wouldn’t harm me, and this matter shouldn’t involve others, especially seeing that An Hai and the others are suffering, it would be better for me to go. Although my strength isn’t much, but it’s still better than theirs, even if a real zombie appears, under the state of being completely prepared, it would definitely be able to escape.

But I didn’t come back alone, I came back with two other people who came with me. They are the two bodyguards of the Uncle, for short, Bao Ge, Genji, the Uncle sent them here to prevent Zhou Dong from escaping.

Of course, this time they don’t have any criminal record, unlike last time, where they were caught before even having committed a heinous crime, and correspondingly, their fighting strength has also decreased by a lot, but we did not underestimate them, at least if it were just me alone, we would not be able to do anything about it.

This time, our residence is right next to the one An Hai and the others are renting. After returning, the first thing I did was to pay a visit to An Hai.

“Little Mr. Zhou, you, why did you come back?” An Hai was also very surprised to see me.

“Sigh, a few days ago I helped someone deal with something. It was very dangerous and I suffered from internal injuries. I came back to recuperate. Isn’t it because I’m familiar with the place? So I came back?” I smiled as I replied.

“Ah, she’s injured, where is she?” An Hai hurriedly asked, looking extremely concerned.

Well, why are you asking so clearly? I had to make it up more carefully, so I tried to change the subject, like asking his niece how well she was feeling.

“An Xin, An Xin is fine, and did as you said, there’s nothing else, he’s in his room right now,” An Hai said.

“Oh, that’s good. That’s good. Eh, that’s not right. Did An Xin come to the room?” I replied in surprise.

“That’s right, An Xin’s body is in a terrible condition this time, so we helped her get a break from school and sent her over to me. Look, it’s a beautiful place, suitable for recovering. The air here is rich in all kinds of ion elements,” An Hai explained.

“Hehe!” I laughed in my heart, completely speechless. Even if they were recovering, they would still have to run thousands of miles away.

Thus, I failed in changing the topic and looked at An Xin. However, after taking a look at her, I immediately felt a sense of amazement.

The first time he saw An Xin, her hair was in disarray, and her face was hideous. She even had a beard, and she was in a horrible shape, and she didn’t look like the one in the photo. However, when he looked at her this time, he found that An Xin was still very beautiful.

“Are you alright? How do you feel?” I asked softly.

“I’m fine, thank you, Mr. Zhou,” An Xin replied.

“What Mr. Zhou? Call me Zhou Yang, or Big Brother Zhou,” I replied with a smile.

“Ah, that, oh, Big Brother Zhou.” An Xin seemed to be frightened by me, like a frightened rabbit.

“Cough cough. About that, I just moved here today. I have some matters to attend to so I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come see you tomorrow …” I coughed and felt a bit embarrassed.

“Mr. Zhou, you …” The moment I stepped out the door, the bodyguard, Brother Bao, said to me.

“What, you don’t think that I have a lecherous mind do you?” I said to Bao Ge with a smile. Baoge and Brother Genji were the Uncle’s trusted aides. They had followed him for many years, so they could definitely be at ease.

“No, I just feel that An Xin might have some problems.” Bao-ge said.

Even though he didn’t say it out loud, I knew what he meant. I patted him on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look.
