Chapter 1126: The Living Dead
Ling Feng looked carefully and asked, "I don’t see any problem!"
"This is the original image. You need to pay attention to the surrounding terrain so that you won’t find the wrong place!" Lin Xue said.
"Oh, when I go into the mountain, you can give me the tablet, and I can find it with it!" Ling Feng said.
"That works too!"
Lin Xue nodded, then swiped her finger to switch to the next picture.
This picture was even more complex, and Ling Feng looked utterly puzzled, so he asked, "What’s this?"
"This is the mountain’s vertical scan. There’s a huge space inside this mountain, and most likely, those missing zombies are in here!" Lin Xue said.
"Oh my, that’s terrifying!" Ling Feng said, eyes wide open.
"Indeed, if ordinary people saw it, they’d probably be scared to death!" Lin Xue nodded.
Ling Feng looked at her, "So what are the orders from above now?"
"Eradicate the evil completely!" Lin Xue said.
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, "Just these four words?"
"Yes, it’s quite clear and straightforward. These things that shouldn’t exist in the world, since they’ve appeared, they must be destroyed!" Lin Xue said.
"Alright, I understand now!"
Ling Feng nodded, took the tablet into his bracelet, and asked, "Are you coming with me?"
"I’m not going. I’m afraid I’ll vomit seeing so many zombies!" Lin Xue immediately shook her head.
Ling Feng chuckled, "So you’re at ease with me going alone?"
"Who said you’re going alone? When I get back, Ye Qian and Fei’er will come over, and they’ll go with you!" Lin Xue said.
"Oh, then I’m relieved. Fei’er is stronger than I am, so this time I hope to eliminate Hu Tiesheng, and remove a thorn from my side!" Ling Feng laughed.
Lin Xue hummed in agreement, "The director and the main bureau share the same sentiment, hoping you can resolve this matter thoroughly."
"Okay."
Ling Feng nodded, sending Lin Xue back to Nine Heavens via the Teleportation Array, and after a moment, two figures were transmitted over!
Seeing Li Fei’er’s attire, Ling Feng immediately laughed.
"What’s so funny?" Li Fei’er looked puzzled.
"Looking like that, anyone would think you’re going on a mountain tour!" Ling Feng laughed.
Li Fei’er rolled her eyes, "I am going on a trip, okay!"
"Let’s not say that. Underestimating the opponent is a big taboo for warriors!"
Ling Feng said and then looked at Ye Qian, "Thanks to you again for running with us this time!"
"No need to be polite, it’s my duty!" Ye Qian said.
Seeing that time was running out, the three left Shankou Village and set off into the deep mountains.
This trip was over forty kilometers, so after entering the mountains, Li Fei’er summoned Wang Cai, and she and Ye Qian hopped onto its back.
Ling Feng led the way ahead, and the three began their rapid dash through the wilderness.
...
...
At ten in the morning, on the peak of a lone mountain, Ling Feng took out the tablet, compared it with the surrounding mountains, and then pointed at a round hill in front and said, "That’s our destination!"
"It doesn’t look special at all. Are there really that many zombies inside the mountain?" Li Fei’er asked.
"No doubt about it, at least a hundred, maybe over two hundred!" Ling Feng said.
"I can’t believe it. Is that Prince Longyu out of people to find, that he used corpses? What can these things do?" Li Fei’er said, exasperated.
Ling Feng chuckled, "It’s useless against us, but they sure can scare the ordinary people!"
Then he turned to Ye Qian, "Any findings?"
"Nothing yet, but there seems to be a formation on that mountain over there, probably used to control the zombies!" Ye Qian said.
"Yeah, with so many of them and no spiritual wisdom, there must be a way to control them."
Ling Feng nodded and continued, "Let’s destroy the formation first and see if the enemy comes out!"
"No need, if they lose control and the zombies spread into the forest, it’ll be hard to find them all, and even one getting away is a hidden danger!" Ye Qian said.
"You’re right. So what’s your plan?" Ling Feng asked.
"Just charge in. They’re inside the mountain. Burn it down and make the mountain their eternal grave!" Ye Qian said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Your plan is better than mine. Let’s do it your way!"
Then the three went down the mountain, heading straight for that round peak.
Before they’d gone far after descending, a loud shout came from the woods ahead, "Stop! Who goes there!"
"At last, we see a living person!"
Ling Feng let out a breath. This was the first Xinglong Gang member he’d encountered since entering the mountains.
Along with the shout, a brawny man holding a machete emerged from behind a tree.
This man was over two meters tall, large-bodied, and looked like a burly fellow.
But the moment Ling Feng and Ye Qian saw his eyes, they were stunned!
His eyes were entirely white!
"Is he blind?" Ling Feng was astonished.
"No, he’s not alive!"
Ye Qian said, extending her hand, and a yellow talisman paper flew over in an instant!
There was a "bang!"
The talisman hit the man’s chest, immediately bursting into flames, and the man let out a terrible scream!
But the talisman wasn’t powerful enough to harm him significantly, instead provoking his viciousness. After the scream, he raised his machete and charged!
Ling Feng drew his sword and attacked, first cutting off the machete handle, and then stabbed his sword into the man’s chest.
Yet the man seemed unfazed, as his giant palm swung down!
"What the hell, does it not hurt?"
Ling Feng exclaimed, dodging swiftly.
"His weak spot is the head!"
Ye Qian shouted.
Ling Feng realized this too, leaping up with his blade aiming for the temple!
The man knew his weaknesses as well and tried to dodge, but unfortunately, Ling Feng was too fast!
All they heard was a squelch, as the blade plunged in up to the hilt, embedded entirely in the man’s head.
The giant body shuddered and then collapsed with a crash!
Immediately, they saw the man’s body slowly shrink and dissolve, finally becoming a puddle of corpse water.
"What a stench!"
Li Fei’er covered her nose and quickly stepped away.
Ling Feng wrinkled his brow and asked Ye Qian, "This thing is disgusting, what’s going on?"
"A living dead, it’s a kind of black magic. While alive, they put medicine in the body, stopping its metabolism, slowly turning it into a corpse."
"Losing the sensations from body organs, yet can live in the world for a long time."
Ling Feng was speechless, "That’s twisted, isn’t it?"
