Chapter 400: Using the dead to form a death squad is not impossible

As soon as he finished speaking, the six corpses lying on the ground really moved.

But it only moved for a moment, then stopped and continued to lie peacefully.

"I moved... Oops, I lay down again, what's going on?"

The people watching the fun were talking in low voices. It was also their first time to see corpse-driving, and they wondered if this was normal.

But from their perspective, it didn't seem normal. Carrying corpses, as the name suggests, means driving them away. What's the point of just lying there motionless?

Lying dead?

Beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Li Rong's nose. He felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have performed in front of so many people just to show off. What if he messed up? Where would his face be?

It's also the fault of these corpses being so useless. He could clearly make the corpses circle around the room before, but now they lie dead just by moving them. This dog traitor is really incompetent and can only harm people!

Li Rong was anxious in his heart, but he did not show it on his face, still maintaining the calm demeanor of a master.

In the eyes of outsiders, they thought this was a normal operation of corpse-driving and they were making a fuss out of nothing.

"Shh, don't disturb Comrade Li!"

Everyone continued to hold their breath and watch Li Rong's performance.

Li Rong repeated the formula a few more times. It was the complete formula that his second uncle had taught him. After he finished, he pointed at the corpse on the ground and shouted softly, "Get up!"

But in my heart I pray——

"Ancestors, please bless me to succeed this time, otherwise it will be a disgrace to the Li family!"

I don’t know if the ancestors of the Li family really heard it, but the six corpses stood up very smoothly and began to march in unison.

Li Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, silently thanked the ancestors of the Li family, and then glanced at the group of people outside who were dumbfounded. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was very happy in his heart.

"One two one, one two one..."

Li Rong continued to recite the command, and although the corpses moved stiffly, they were very orderly and walked out of the door with a clattering sound.

The people outside the door scattered and moved away.

It was around seven or eight in the evening. The moon was not out and there were few stars. The weather was already gloomy, and with the six bodies marching in step, everyone felt a chill on their backs.

Only after Li Rong walked away with the six corpses did everyone dare to speak.

"Doctor Lin, could you have made a mistake? Those six people are not dead at all?" someone asked.

The others nodded as well. They thought the same thing. How could a dead person move around? It was totally against the laws of nature!

"I've been practicing medicine for twenty years, and I can't tell the difference between the dead and the living?"

Doctor Lin retorted unhappily.

"Then what's the principle behind this? How do dead people move?"

Everyone is puzzled. Living people rely on the energy stored in their bodies to walk, but what do dead people rely on?

"Next time, ask Comrade Li if it is possible to make the dead do the work. If it is possible, we won't have to worry about lack of labor when building reservoirs in the future." Someone made a joke.

"Then we can open up wasteland and plant crops. There will definitely be enough food to eat."

"So, the dead can work and don't need to eat food. What a great labor force!"

…

Everyone was discussing the matter heatedly. As expected of comrades from the military region, they had a big vision and were even prepared to use dead people to form a suicide squad.

After hearing these discussions, the military district leaders were tempted. If the dead could really be used to form a suicide squad, it would definitely reduce casualties. They turned around and asked Li Rong if this corpse-driving technique could be taught in a class.

Li Rong didn't know that his ancestral skills were being targeted. He had already left the military area, driving the six corpses.

It is November now and the weather has turned cooler, especially at night. There are almost no people on the streets after eight o'clock, which greatly facilitates his corpse-driving.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

The corpses made uniform sounds, their expressions were stiff, their eyes were staring, and there were yellow talismans on their foreheads, giving the whole look an eerie look.

The military area is quite a distance away from the mountain, and it is impossible for Li Rong to really rush back to the mountain. The corpses are not tired, but he is tired.

Moreover, his current corpse-driving skills are still immature. He can only make the corpse walk for half an hour. If it exceeds half an hour, the corpse will lie down again.

Fortunately, half an hour was enough time for the body to leave the military area, thus avoiding embarrassment in front of his colleagues.

He drove the body into an empty alley exactly half an hour later.

"Snap"

The six bodies lay neatly in a row on the ground, looking extremely peaceful.

Li Rong put the corpse into the space, took out his bicycle, and rode back to the mountains overnight.

He rushed back to Lijiazhai at dawn. Luo Xinxin, Damao and Ermao were still sleeping, but the Li family members had already gotten up to work.

He ate some breakfast, took a shower, and went back to his room to catch up on some sleep, not waking up until dinner time.

After dinner, Li Rong went outside to find a secluded place and released the six bodies before going back to find his second uncle.

When the Li family heard that there was a corpse, they all rushed to watch the fun. Luo Xinxin also went with her two children. She was not worried at all that the children would be scared. The two brothers were very brave and even dared to play with snakes. How could they be scared by a dead person?

Six bodies lay peacefully in a row, their faces blue.

"You're responsible for the consequences!"

The second uncle sighed. He knew these six people. They were still alive and kicking half a month ago, but now they have all turned into corpses.

"Second uncle, I can only make it in half an hour. What's the reason?" Li Rong asked.

"If you're not skilled, practice makes perfect. You'll be proficient after a few practice sessions." Second Uncle replied, adding, "Have you given them medicine? Otherwise, it would be difficult to practice if the bodies rotted."

"I've already eaten."

Li Rong nodded and said that he had fed it to him yesterday. It was the secret medicine of the Li family. If you hold it in your mouth, it can keep the corpse from decaying for a year.

"Nephew, hurry up and take a look!"

Li Hu wanted to watch corpse-driving because he didn't know how to do it.

Among the four brothers, only Li Long could do it. He, the eldest brother, and the third brother had no talent. After their father taught them several times, he became impatient and called them stupid.

“Dad, dad, dad… hurry!”

Ermao shouted loudly and jumped up and down in Lihu's arms.

Damao was held by Li Gang's wife. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were shining as he stared at the six corpses.

Li Rong also wanted to show off, so he started to recite the formula. The first time is new, the second time is familiar. This time he got it done in one go. The six corpses began to march in unison in a stiff and strange manner again.

The second uncle nodded as he watched. His nephew was quite talented and could reach this level through self-study. He was much better than the eldest, second and third uncles.

But he is still not as good as Aaron. Although Aaron's talent is not top-notch, he is considered to be one of the best among the younger generation of the Li family.

But the second uncle still had some regrets. He heard from the elders in the clan that there was once a very powerful person in the Li family, his great-great-great-great-grandfather, who could not only drive corpses, but also refine zombies for his own use.

That’s right, the highest level of corpse-driving is to transform corpses into zombies, which are what comrades in the military region call free labor. They don’t need to eat, but can work like living people.

The ancestor of the Li family lived a god-like life with no worries about food and drink thanks to the zombies he created. The second uncle was extremely envious.
