My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China
Night 57: Fighting the Zombies
We continued to clear out the zombies. Because of yesterday's experience, today's speed was obviously faster. We cleared nearly four hundred zombies in the whole day.
After piling the corpses into the broken earth wall of Widow Li's house and burning them, the group took a break again. It was not that Jiang Li and Uncle Jiu did not want to continue, but they were really tired after a whole day of fighting and carrying.
So everyone went to bed early after dinner, but the old man with a long beard in the cellar of Tenglong Restaurant could not wait any longer and muttered, "I didn't expect them to be so fast. They will definitely find this place tomorrow. It seems that we must take action tonight."
He looked at the blood-red mushrooms growing on the ground and sighed, "It's a pity that we are still a little short of time. It would be better if we could wait another three or five days."
After saying that, he killed another person and collected half a bucket of blood, which he spilled evenly on the ground. Then he picked up various magical weapons and walked towards the hall.
Arriving at the lobby of Tenglong Restaurant, the old man stopped in front of each coffin, then bit his index finger and put a drop of blood on the forehead of a zombie to wake it up.
He repeated this action afterwards, and within a few minutes he had awakened all the thirty or so black zombies in the restaurant. He then shook the bell in his hand and controlled them to jump towards the carriage of Jiang Li and others.
At the entrance of the town in the dead of night, an old man with a long beard stood in the dark, muttering something and changing the spells in his hands. Suddenly, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his arm, thirty black zombies surrounded the convoy from all directions.
The night watchman was dozing off at this moment, but the rooster on the roof of the carriage was immediately awakened and let out a loud crow towards the town entrance.
Suddenly, some people were awakened and got out of the car to check, but found nothing around. Then everyone looked in the direction where the spirit chicken was looking, and found that there was movement in the direction of the town entrance, but they couldn't see clearly because it was dark.
At this time, Uncle Jiu said, "Be careful, there is a strong smell of corpses at the entrance of the town. I'm afraid they are coming out."
So Jiang Li quickly asked someone to start a fire from the campfire and lit several fires around it. Only then did he discover the zombie jumping over by the light of the fire.
These black zombies are tall and exude a terrifying and oppressive aura. Their footsteps are heavy and rhythmic, as if the earth is shaking.
The villagers and the guards held their breath nervously, clenching the peach wood swords in their hands. The horses also felt the impending danger and stamped their hooves anxiously.
The leading black zombie let out a low growl, and jumped faster and faster as if it had found blood. It was so fast that it reached the carriage in the blink of an eye and was about to bite the horses.
Suddenly, a yellow talisman stuck to the black zombie's forehead, and the black zombie was instantly frozen in place. The one who took action was naturally Uncle Jiu. Seeing that the zombie was frozen, he turned around and swung his sword to take it away.
But by this time other zombies were also approaching, and Uncle Jiu had no choice but to step forward and fight. It must be said that Uncle Jiu was worthy of being Uncle Jiu. Holding a peach wood sword, he was not at all at a disadvantage when outnumbered. From time to time, he had the chance to counterattack and take away a zombie.
The situation at the rear of the convoy was not the same as at the front. A villager who was shivering and forgot to hold his breath was caught by the zombies that surrounded him from behind and bitten on the neck.
I heard him screaming heart-wrenchingly and struggling desperately, but after a while he just opened his mouth and howled and no sound came out.
Seeing this, Jiang Li drew out a peach wood sword, held his breath, stepped forward quickly, and used all his magic power to stab it in the eyes, killing it with just one sword.
He kicked him away and found that the villager was barely breathing and was dead.
At this time Jiang Li found a black zombie pouncing towards him, so he immediately dodged backwards. As a result of Jiang Li's retreat, the unlucky guy who was bitten suffered, as his chest was pierced through and he immediately stopped breathing.
Jiang Li said speechlessly, "It seems that its target was not me."
However, seeing this good opportunity, he went up and stabbed it in the chest with his sword, but the black zombie swept the peach wood sword in half with his hands.
However, the remaining half of the peach wood sword continued to deflate the air in it. No matter how it wailed and jumped, it was of no use and soon there was no movement.
Jiang Li climbed onto the car and looked around. He found that he and his companions were surrounded, so he immediately shouted, "There is kerosene in the car. Let's burn them."
Upon hearing this, the two members of the village protection team ran to the car with their breath held, took out kerosene and sprinkled it on the ground next to them, then breathed heavily to attract the zombies.
When the zombies stepped on the kerosene, everyone immediately ignited the kerosene and set it on fire. Several zombies were instantly engulfed in the sea of fire. After they recovered, they came to Maoshanming and, together with several other members of the village protection team, sprinkled sticky rice on the zombies to weaken their corpse qi. After a while, they were burned to charcoal.
However, there were too many black zombies and several villagers were unable to help, so each member of the village protection team had to deal with more than two zombies.
The six members of the village protection team brought back from the provincial capital could barely dodge after practicing martial arts for several years, but the four new recruits were not so good. At this time, one was dead and one was injured. After all, it is impossible for a person to hold his breath forever.
At this moment, the old man with a long beard took action. He formed seals with his hands and uttered an obscure spell.
In an instant, the dozen or so zombies besieging Uncle Jiu increased their speed and strength, and their attacks became more frequent.
Uncle Jiu was horrified upon seeing this and immediately stepped back, pulled out a big Guandao from the car, and swung it with all his magic power. A zombie was immediately torn into pieces with one blow. Then he was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, killing eight or nine of them with just a few strikes.
But then he started gasping for breath, and it was obvious that an attack of this power consumed a lot of his physical strength and magic power.
As for Jiang Li, he also took out his "Golden Cudgel" in the car at this time. However, after fighting for a while, he found that the peach wood sword was more effective against zombies. One sword could release the corpse qi, while the "Golden Cudgel" could not penetrate into the body, and it required more than a dozen hits.
So he had to take out two peach wood swords from the car, and slashed and stabbed them continuously on the left and right. Since the black zombies had no intelligence, he could just hold his breath and slash and kill them at will.
After that, move away to catch your breath for a while, and then you can act as the sixth person again.
In just a short while, Jiang Li killed five more zombies. He saw that the zombies around his master were obviously more ferocious, and it was obvious that someone was commanding them.
So Jiang Li jumped onto the carriage with one hand, and with the help of the firelight, he saw a figure at the entrance of the town waving his arms. Jiang Li jumped off the car and stabbed a zombie to death with a sword.
Then he took out a gun from the car and climbed back in, firing two shots at the black shadow.
The guy seemed to be hit and fell backwards. The zombies besieging Uncle Jiu also immediately returned to normal. Uncle Jiu, who had been struggling to hold on, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and retreated back to the crowd.
Jiang Li got out of the car and joined Uncle Jiu. They dealt with the scattered zombies around. He immediately said, "Master, someone was casting a spell at the entrance of the town just now. I think I shot him, but I don't know if he's dead or not."
Uncle Jiu said solemnly, "He can control more than a dozen zombies to attack me at the same time. It will definitely not be so easy to deal with him. I will go after him. You deal with the surrounding zombies first."
He then grabbed the incense burner on the altar and put it in his arms, then chased into the town with a knife in one hand and a torch in the other.
