My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

After everyone nodded, Uncle Jiu explained to everyone the tricks of dealing with zombies and how to save lives when encountering zombies. After everyone had memorized them, he led them into Tengteng Town.

Of course it was impossible to go directly to the center at the beginning, but to start from the edge and search one house at a time. Because it was three o'clock in the afternoon and the yang energy was still sufficient, most of the zombies were lying in the house.

Uncle Jiu led his men into the first house. The white zombies inside immediately stood up and retreated to the corner of the wall. They did not retreat any further until they let out a low growl of fear, as if warning anyone approaching.

At this time, a villager holding a peach wood sword recognized the man and exclaimed, "I recognize it. He is Erdan."

He thought the man was fine and was about to walk over, but Jiang Li grabbed him and said, "Look carefully at his face and eyes. He doesn't look like a living person at all."

Several villagers then observed carefully and had to accept the fact that this "person" was no longer a human being.

Seeing that everyone had seen clearly, Uncle Jiu took the peach wood sword and stabbed the zombie in the stomach. In just a few seconds, the zombie lost all its corpse qi and yin energy and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the zombies had been eliminated, Jiang Li said, "These zombies should be burned to eliminate the trouble forever, but it will take a while to burn them, so I think we can find a few remote houses in the town and burn these corpses together to prevent the fire from getting out of control."

At this time, a villager who wanted to make a contribution said, "Widow Li's home is remote and there are not many houses around, so it must not be afraid of fire."

The other villagers looked pitiful. It was obvious that they also knew this place. Jiang Li didn't say anything when he heard it, but just asked him to lead the way.

After a while, everyone arrived at Widow Li's house, but saw an independent courtyard, so Jiang Li ordered people to clean up the surrounding debris.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Uncle Jiu took his three apprentices and six village guards to start clearing out the zombies. Mao Shanming and two village guards watched the carriage and supervised several villagers as they cleared up the debris and collected firewood.

Back to Uncle Jiu, with Uncle Jiu leading the way, Jiang Li and his group were killing indiscriminately (Uncle Jiu was responsible for killing indiscriminately while the others were responsible for killing indiscriminately). They killed their way through more than a dozen houses and finally encountered a black zombie in a pork shop.

Uncle Jiu quickly led his men out of the store, and he himself was about to rush forward to kill it, but Jiang Li said to Uncle Jiu, "Master, wait a minute. I want to see if we can kill the black zombie. If we can, we can split into two groups and get rid of this disaster as soon as possible."

Uncle Jiu was a little worried when he heard this and said, "Then you guys should be careful."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Master, look, this is it. We are just trying it out. Besides, with Master here, what kind of trouble can it cause?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu looked at the black zombie who was afraid of the sun and dared not go out, and agreed. Jiang Li immediately asked someone to take out a peach wood spear from the car. Then he picked up the spear, held his breath, walked to the open door, aimed at the black zombie's eyes and stabbed it hard.

Then he heard the black zombie letting out a teeth-grinding roar, and a large amount of Yin energy came out of its eyes, burning the tip of the gun black. But as its roar became smaller, Jiang Li quickly retreated, and then the black zombie fell down.

Uncle Jiu looked at the peach wood spear in Jiang Li's hand and said, "Why didn't you add magic power to the spear just now? The magic power can protect the spear head from being damaged!"

Jiang Li said, "My magic power is weak, but I can't bear to attach magic power to this long spear. Now I can kill a zombie without any damage with a peach wood spear. Isn't it a good deal?"

Uncle Jiu's mouth twitched when he heard that, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Jiang Li saw Uncle Jiu like this and immediately said, "Master, don't worry. I still have a dozen peach wood spears on my car. We can afford it. At most, I can kill more white zombies. I won't touch the black zombies unless it's absolutely necessary."

Uncle Jiu had no choice but to agree, but he still reminded Jiang Li, "Don't be too far away from me. If you encounter a black zombie, you must fight it head-on. Just call me. Why waste a peach wood spear!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I know what I am doing. At most I can just carve another spear head."

As he said that, he took the four people to the residential area on the side. Uncle Jiu took a look and had no choice but to let go. He took the two registered disciples and two members of the village protection team to continue clearing the zombies.

Jiang Li is a very capable person. Why would he take such a risk for no reason? Of course he has selfish motives.

After getting rid of a white zombie in a silk shop, he led people to search carefully everywhere. Finally, in a secret compartment under the bed, they found several small yellow croakers, jade bracelets, house deeds and other things.

After taking a look, he took some more dollars from the counter and filled the secret compartment. Then he noted the location and said to the others, "Don't tell anyone. Everyone will get a share when the time comes."

Everyone's faces were filled with ecstasy when they heard this. After a while, they cleaned up the shop and walked towards the next building.

Jiang Li and others cleaned up five or six shops in this way, and the valuable gold and jade inside were naturally hidden.

At this time, Uncle Jiu's voice came from the street, "Ali, it's getting dark, let's carry these bodies away and burn them first, so that they won't be exposed to the sun and cause plague."

Jiang Li thought about the size of the town and realized that it would take more than a day or two to clean up the corpses, so he agreed. It took him half an hour to transport the corpses to Widow Li's house using the town's cart.

Then they burned the body with the dry firewood collected by the villagers. Soon a raging fire broke out in Widow Li's house, and the air was filled with the stench of burnt fat and flesh.

Two people were left behind to watch the fire and make sure it didn't get out of control, while the others went back to the village entrance to set up camp, make a fire and cook.

After dinner, a few people stayed behind to watch the fire and keep watch, while the others slept in the carriage.

At the same time, an old man covered in runes was standing on the roof of Tenglong Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the town. He looked at the red fire with sharp eyes, and then at the several carriages at the entrance of the town.

He frowned and said in a low voice, "I just hope it's in time. Otherwise, after killing so many people and losing a disciple, it would be bad if it was all for nothing in the end."

After saying that, he slowly walked into the restaurant, took out a knife and cut the neck of an unconscious man. Seeing the blood spurting out, he immediately took out a bucket to catch it all.

...

The next morning, after Jiang Li and his party finished their breakfast, they went to Widow Li's house to check. The fire had been extinguished, but there were still a lot of charcoal embers. They dug around but didn't see many bones.

Uncle Jiu walked up to Jiang Li and said, "Don't look. There won't be much left. These are all dried corpses of zombies. They are not as resistant to burning as fresh corpses."

Jiang Li asked in confusion, "These people have only been dead for ten days, how could they be killed?"

Uncle Jiu explained, "Living things use water to drive their essence and blood throughout their bodies, but zombies are different. They rely entirely on Yin energy, so the first step to de-zombification is to remove moisture from the body."

Jiang Li nodded and said, "I see."
