Chapter 244 Catching Zombies [48]
Fuyuan Village, located in Guangling County of M City, is a remote village surrounded by mountains on three sides.
This village is small, and it is mostly inhabited by the elderly and children, as most of the young people have gone out to work and develop their careers.
Things haven't been peaceful in the village lately.
First, a family found their chicken dead in the coop, with a large hole in its neck, having been drained of blood.
The family thought it was done by their neighbor with whom they didn't get along, and the two families had a big argument.
In the following days, more people's chickens died in the same way, and it wasn't just one or two.
The villagers assumed it was a weasel or something similar, and they even wanted to catch the animal that killed the chickens!
The next day, a villager went to a neighboring village for a banquet. The following day, when the wife of that man did not return, she went to look for him.
Hearing that the man had gone home after drinking the day before, the woman immediately panicked.
None of the villagers had the concept of immediately calling the police if someone went missing, so everyone searched together.
After searching for a long time, they found the person in the woods not far from the village. There were two holes in his neck, and he was completely dead.
The older villagers cried out in terror, "It's a zombie! It must be a zombie!"
The villagers were terrified!
Achu and Anlu arrived in M City by high-speed rail in the morning. Someone came to pick them up; it was from the Guangling County Police Station.
The Guangling County Police Station received a notification that a Taoist priest was coming to investigate and handle the zombie incident.
So the police station arranged for two officers to pick them up.
A middle-aged policeman named Xu Wei.
There was also a young policeman named Lin Daxue, who was Xu Wei's apprentice.
At the exit of the high-speed rail station, Lin Daxue held up a sign that read "Master Jie'an" and peered inside with curiosity and suspicion in his eyes.
He turned to Xu Wei and asked, "Master, are there really zombies in Fuyuan Village?"
Xu Wei, smoking a cigarette with his eyes half-closed, spoke in his characteristic husky voice, "Who knows?"
He had seen the corpse; the blood had been drained, which was indeed strange.
But in his opinion, how could there possibly be zombies in the world?
It was definitely done by someone!
Those two holes in the neck are for drawing blood.
But the higher-ups invited some kind of Taoist master to come and see, which is really speechless.
Lin Daxue: "Master, will the Celestial Master you mentioned be like Lam Ching-ying in the movies?"
When he was a child, he loved watching the Lam Ching-ying series; he was both scared and eager to watch them.
Xu Wei flicked his cigarette ash impatiently: "Who knows?"
When we arrived at the station, a large number of people suddenly emerged from the exit.
Lin Daxue looked even closer, wanting to see who most resembled the ghost-catching master from the movies.
Then he saw two very beautiful girls!
One of them looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, even younger, and full of youthful vigor.
She's even prettier than the female celebrities on TV!
She looked to be in her early twenties. Although she wasn't as pretty as the other girl, she had a unique and mysterious aura.
Lin Daxue couldn't take his eyes off it, his heart pounding.
Then he saw the two pretty girls look at him and walk towards him.
Lin Da's heart started beating even faster.
He is 1.8 meters tall, has a handsome appearance, and with the added filter of his uniform, girls often approach him to ask for his contact information.
Lin Daxue couldn't help but think... if these two girls approached him and asked for his contact information, he could agree!
"Hello."
Lin Daxue tried his best to remain composed: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
The girl pointed to the sign and said, "I am Master An, the one you are supposed to meet."
Lin Daxue was stunned.
Xu Wei looked over.
In the police car, Lin Daxue drove, and Xu Wei sat in the passenger seat.
Achu and Anlu were sitting in the back.
Lin Daxue kept glancing at the rearview mirror, still somewhat incredulous that these two girls, one who looked like a high school student and the other who looked like a college student, were actually Taoist priests!
It's completely different from what he imagined!
Xu Wei, who was in the passenger seat, also thought it was ridiculous. What could two frail little girls do?
He wouldn't have dared to pick the person up if he hadn't called his boss to confirm.
In the back row, An Lu was a quiet person. She rarely spoke unless others initiated a conversation with her.
Ah Chu is more lively.
She struck up a conversation with Xu Wei: "Officer Xu, could you tell us about the situation in Fuyuan Village?"
Although Xu Wei felt it was unreliable to invite two girls, he still spoke up.
Anlu already knew everything he said, and she had also told Achu about it.
Achu asked Xu Wei some other questions that weren't in the other materials.
The police car drove for almost an hour before arriving at the funeral home in Guangling County.
The reason for going to the funeral home was that Anlu said she wanted to see the body of the dead villager first.
Upon arriving at the funeral home, Achu and Anlu quickly saw the villagers' bodies.
A middle-aged man in his forties, his body was bluish-black, and his expression still held the terror he had before his death, somewhat ferocious.
He had two very obvious bloody holes on his neck, which were black and green.
Anlu took out a talisman, held it between her fingers and shook it twice, and the talisman spontaneously combusted.
She held the burning talisman against the blood hole, and immediately a dark green liquid flowed out, emitting a foul stench.
Xu Wei frowned as he watched, while Lin Daxue covered his nose and backed away repeatedly.
Ah Chu was also overwhelmed by the stench and covered her nose, asking An Lu, "Master, was he bitten to death by a zombie?"
Anlu nodded: "They were indeed bitten to death by zombies."
Although she had never seen a real zombie, the book contained a detailed description.
An Lu turned to look at Xu Wei and said, "Officer Xu, could you please take us to Fuyuan Village?"
Fuyuan Village is just an ordinary-looking little village.
The car drove in, and it was very quiet inside.
Achu: "Why does this village look like it's uninhabited?"
Lin Daxue replied to her, "After someone died in the village, the villagers were very scared, and those who could move out moved out."
"There are only three or four households that have nowhere to move to."
Achu nodded, indicating that she understood.
The village chief came to pick up Achu and the others.
Upon seeing that the two arriving were such young Taoist masters, the village chief's eyes flickered with mixed emotions for a moment.
Unfortunately, in the general public's perception, being too young is equivalent to not being capable enough.
An Lu didn't mind; she was used to it.
Ah Chu didn't care anymore.
Anlu said to the village chief, "Tell the few remaining households in the village to move out first. I'm worried that they might get hurt when we're catching zombies."
After all, she had never caught a zombie before, so she was being cautious.
The village chief looked somewhat troubled: "Well, those families have nowhere else to go..."
An Lu looked at Xu Wei: "Officer Xu, can you arrange for them to stay in a hotel in the county?"
Xu Wei did not refuse immediately, but first made a phone call to consult his superior.
Xu Wei only gave An Lu a reply after the leader agreed.
So, the remaining few households in the village also moved out temporarily, and the whole village was completely empty.
Achu and Anlu stayed at the village chief's house, rested for a while, and after lunch, went into the mountains to look for traces of zombies.
