Mr. Zombie lingers in the city

Chapter 26 provides a deeper understanding of the cruelty of human-made firearms.

It was already 3 p.m. when Gu Xixia walked out of Sister Zhang's teachers' apartment. During this time, Hu Xiaoyu was also busy, circling the entire teachers' apartment again and again.

Hu Xiaoyu carefully memorized the surveillance coverage area and routes, in particular.

A general battle plan emerged in his mind, and Hu Xiaoyu sent a message to Gu Xixia, telling her to come down quickly.

In Zhang Jie's apartment, Gu Xixia's phone was filled with pop-up messages from Hu Xiaoyu.

"Is your brother still waiting for you downstairs?"

"Yes, he came with me today."

"You siblings have such a good relationship, did you grow up together?"

"We've been living together since I was in sixth grade."

"No wonder, sometimes I feel like you two are closer than siblings."

Gu Xixia smiled, knowing that they should naturally be more intimate.

"Then I'll be going now, Sister Zhang."

"it is good."

After watching Gu Xixia walk downstairs, Zhang Jie stood by the window watching the two siblings walk further and further away, then turned and went into the kitchen.

In her apartment two floors above, the eerie old man was gazing down in the direction the two people had left.

On her way to the school gate, Gu Xixia looked down at Hu Xiaoyu beside her.

"Are you planning to make your move tonight?"

"Yeah, that's why I came here to scout the place. I'm pretty sure he's on the fifth floor. I'll fly over tonight and give him a surprise!"

"Will it be dangerous?"

As Gu Xixia frowned slightly in worry, Hu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment.

"It's not exactly dangerous, but it would be a bit troublesome if this guy possessed a corpse."

"Possessed by a ghost?"

"Well, after all, zombies can't be considered living people in any sense. As you can see from the fact that I still need to use Taoist tools, it's not very convenient for zombies to deal with these kinds of spiritual beings."

"What would you do if he were possessed by a ghost?"

Hu Xiaoyu glanced helplessly at Gu Xixia.

"Have you gone mad from being a teacher? It's possessed me, so the only thing I can do is kill it inside my body."

Gu Xixia blinked.

"Putting talismans on yourself?"

"Pretty much...or I could just kill him inside my body."

"Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've done this; I'm very experienced."

Hu Xiaoyu's proposal greatly shocked Gu Xixia.

How did you come up with this method?

Hu Xiaoyu scratched his nose.

"These are all lessons learned..."

With a sigh, Hu Xiaoyu reluctantly told Gu Xixia about his first experience of encountering a ghost possessing a corpse.

"Zombies belong to the yin element, and are naturally favored by yin creatures of heaven and earth."

"It was probably in the late Tang Dynasty when I was searching for graves all over the mountains and planning to make some money from them."

"I was lucky; I dug up a female corpse that was about to turn into a zombie, and I absorbed it along the way."

"You know what, the burial goods for that woman's body were quite good, unlike the burials of commoners where they couldn't even afford to bury a single bone."

"I actually found a pile of gold and silver jewelry and several animal carcasses inside."

Gu Xixia looked somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"You were also a tomb raider..."

"Sigh, life forces us to sometimes play other roles."

"The main reason is that the Tang Dynasty was full of martial spirit. Before the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain even made a move, once they discovered my presence, those villagers would rush up with hoes, sickles, and other weapons, roaring and ready to attack me!"

"Back then, I wasn't very strong, and traditional weapons posed a certain threat to me. In order to survive, I could only try to get some money to buy some blood food."

Listening to Hu Xiaoyu's story, Gu Xixia pursed her lips.

"It seems you haven't had an easy time surviving this long."

"It was extremely difficult, especially during World War I and World War II, when I truly came to understand the cruelty of firearms used by humankind..."

"Sigh, never mind, it's a history of blood and tears..."

With a sigh, Hu Xiaoyu continued.

"That's when I encountered a rather powerful ghost, and that guy possessed me immediately."

At this point, Hu Xiaoyu's expression became somewhat strange.

"It felt like there was a huge wad of cotton stuffed inside my body, it was really disgusting."

"But I can't get it out, and after a few years of my body getting used to it, that thing has actually started to take over control of my body."

"Out of desperation, I had no choice but to research some exorcism techniques."

"Then I accidentally discovered that the Taoist method can actually be used for two purposes."

"Hiss..."

Gu Xixia covered her mouth and squinted her eyes as she smiled. The bright look in her narrow eyes behind her glasses attracted Hu Xiaoyu's malicious gaze.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop laughing. You can continue."

Shaking his head, Hu Xiaoyu continued speaking.

"With the idea of ​​getting rid of that dirty thing inside my body, I pretended to be a Taoist priest and learned from him."

"The result is that legitimate Taoist priests may not know those tricks, but illegitimate Taoist priests have a whole repertoire of tricks up their sleeves."

"That crooked and unorthodox method you mentioned?"

"Yes, it was him. After thoroughly cleaning him up, both psychologically and physically, I also gained some knowledge of Taoist techniques."

Gu Xixia was a little upset when she heard this, and she raised her hand and slapped him on the shoulder.

"How come you've ever robbed someone..."

Hu Xiaoyu clicked his tongue in response.

"That wretched thing did such a terrible thing that it was outrageous. I couldn't resist and emptied it out."

"However, it was after that incident that the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain noticed my abnormality."

"Hmm? You mean the matter of wisdom?"

"right."

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Hu Xiaoyu sat in the passenger seat and took the high heels that Gu Xixia handed him, placing them down.

"They discovered that I was intelligent and seemed to possess the ethics and morals of an ordinary person, so gradually, they lowered my disaster rating."

"Although we still yell and fight when we meet, it won't be as brutal as before, where we'd just take off our clothes and start fighting."

"Gradually, I developed a tacit understanding with them."

"It's a matter of keeping to myself; I don't kill anyone, so they don't bother me."

"Of course, even if other zombies kill people, they'll still try to get me..."

Why?

Why does this girl seem to have gotten dumber?

"That's easy, because I'm a zombie!"

"It's normal to suspect me when zombies commit murder. To clear myself of suspicion, I'll help dispose of the zombies or other things."

"Other things?"

Hu Xiaoyu took out his phone and opened a short video.

"Yes, some things in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are just boasting, but some things in it are really strange, like the Xingxing, which really does have a human face and a monkey body."

"Moreover, they are extremely intelligent, insidious, and ruthless; many hunters have fallen victim to them."

"Would it hurt someone?"

"It eats people! That thing eats anything except oxen, just like brown bears, and it especially likes to eat them alive."

Gu Xixia shuddered, thinking that if she encountered such a thing in the forest, she would probably be scared out of her wits.
