Although Sister-in-law Yingchun is usually fierce, she has a great sense of the big picture.
And as an "ordinary person," he remained calm and composed even when facing ghost messengers.
She didn't take the ghost messenger's unlucky words about "someone dying in the family" to heart... Besides, Yingchun's sister-in-law had been orphaned since childhood, and both her parents had already passed away.
If anyone else dies in the family, it can only be Zhao Youliang.
Therefore, Sister Yingchun simply smiled slightly and subconsciously performed the etiquette an ancient woman would show to a guest.
"You're too kind, officers."
"If that day ever comes, please do not forget the promise you made today."
For some reason, after receiving a bow from Sister-in-law Yingchun, the ghost messengers felt dazed for a while, and it took them a full half-cigarette's time to recover.
After exchanging bewildered glances, they hurriedly returned the gift to Sister-in-law Yingchun.
"You're too kind, Madam. We will certainly not forget our promise today."
After finishing speaking, the leading ghost messenger steered the conversation to the "main quest," recounting what had happened while Zhao Youliang was away.
It was at this time that Liao Zhiyuan and the spirits in the temple returned.
Tell Zhao Youliang that the situation in the town is the same as that of the current paper-making shops.
In other words, apart from the people present, there is no living thing left in the town, including flowers, trees, and small animals.
Before Zhao Youliang could speak, Li Mao was already impatient.
"Quantum, you need to study me quickly... no, study the Seven Tragic Stones inside my belly."
"The old grasshopper immortal said that it was because of this stone that I turned back from a zombie!"
"Once we figure it out, everyone will be saved!"
"Little Li, stop making a scene!" The grasshopper spirit raised its hand and tapped Li Mao on the head.
"Even if we know that the Disaster Stone can heal everyone, there's nothing we can do about it."
"What, you're not going to pull out the disaster stone and then feed it to someone else, are you?"
"Then that person poops again, and the next one eats?"
"Even if we managed to save all the neighbors' lives like that, they would still beat us to death, do you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mao immediately imagined a scene of taking turns defecating... and pulling disaster stones to save people, and then he felt so disgusted that he almost vomited.
"Oh my god, old sage, please stop talking, I believe you!"
"Even if no one else beats me to death, my wife will beat me... Ugh, this is disgusting!"
Since the plan to use the disaster-stricken stone to save people was not feasible, the situation was temporarily deadlocked.
Suddenly, the zombies that had been standing quietly and swaying in place all let out a low growl and stared greedily at the crowd with their pale green eyes.
It turned out that the young general had been gone for too long and could no longer intimidate them.
"Oh no, what should we do? We can't hurt the neighbors!"
Because they couldn't bear to hurt anyone, Zhao Youliang and the others could only try their best to dodge, and for a time they were in a very sorry state.
Even the ghost messengers are the same—these strange walking corpses even bite ghosts!
And as time went on, more and more zombies gathered, until they were shoulder to shoulder and countless.
Even if Zhao Youliang and his men wanted to break through, they couldn't!
"Oh my god, Quantum, you have to think of something right now! I've been bitten on the butt by a zombie again!"
While struggling to shake off the walking corpses biting her, the grasshopper spirit urged them on, and deliberately "isolated" Li Mao's wife and children separately for protection.
Although they are also members of the walkers.
It's especially evident that the selfish grasshopper from before has truly changed; at least it now knows how to care about those around it.
As the backbone of the group, Zhao Youliang, adhering to the principle of asking Dandan before making any decisions, asked Chang Jie for advice.
"What do you think, Eggboy?"
This time, Chang Jie didn't say "I'm blind, I can't see," but instead thought about it carefully for a while before answering seriously.
"Walking corpses are also a type of zombie, and corpse drivers should be able to control them."
"Quantum, do you know the secret art of corpse transportation?"
Zhao Youliang: "......"
"I've never learned this before, and no one has ever taught me."
Seeing Zhao Youliang's helpless expression, Chang Jie continued weakly.
"I know you can't, but I can."
"Hold this cigarette for me, and I'll chant the incantation. I'm afraid of burning my mouth."
"I burned my mouth several times just now... Ouch, I've been talking too much, and my mouth is burning again."
After giving Zhao Youliang his instructions, the amazing Chang Jie took deep, continuous breaths until his chubby face turned red, as if he were constipated, before he began chanting the incantation.
"When the Big Dipper dies, the Southern Dipper is born. I am acting on the Jade Emperor's orders to send you on this mission!"
"Those who died unjustly, heed my command! Do not act rashly! This is my decree!"
After the incantation was completed, a wisp of yellow smoke drifted out of the eggshell and instantly enveloped the surrounding area.
And then... that was it.
All the zombies continued doing what they were doing, and those still biting the grasshopper spirit's butt didn't let go.
Everyone: "......"
While protecting Sister Yingchun, Zhao Youliang wiped the black lines from his forehead and said, "Egg Boy, is your spell delayed? It doesn't work as soon as you finish chanting it?"
Chang Jie was still a child, and his chubby face turned red from Zhao Youliang's words.
"That doesn't make sense. I learned the art of corpse driving from the old master of corpse driving."
"There's no reason why it shouldn't work."
"Waaaaah, my parents are both dragons, but I'm just a maggot. Even chanting spells doesn't work. Where can I find justice?"
Chang Jie's crying immediately broke Zhao Youliang's heart, and his previous words were not meant to be sarcastic, so it was truly as if the spell was delayed in taking effect.
Just as Li Mao was about to hug Chang Jie to comfort him, he suddenly spoke up.
"Quantum, quantum, Xiao Jie's spell works!"
"But not at the neighbors, but at chasing away the fat zombies!"
The fat zombie that Li Mao mentioned is none other than Zhao Hongwei, the corpse driver who has been in a coma since being poisoned.
Zhao Hongwei had become even fatter, shorter and heavier, and had not regained consciousness.
From a distance, he looks like two balls that have landed together.
After "rising from the dead," it hopped and skipped over to Chang Jie, quietly waiting for his next instructions.
Moreover, the other zombies made way for him, clearly terrified of the corpse driver who had turned into a zombie.
"No way, this actually works?!"
Zhao Youliang was surprised and hurriedly gave Chang Jie some instructions.
"Little Egg, why don't you try getting Hongwei to manage these zombies!"
"Yes!" Chang Jie nodded deeply with tears in his eyes, then silently issued the command in his mind.
As expected, all the zombies quieted down, standing in neat rows like well-trained soldiers.
"That actually works!!"
Zhao Youliang was greatly excited upon seeing this, and while carefully moving away from the walking corpses that had been approaching him, he spoke.
"Egg Boy, did that Corpse-Transporting Ancestor only teach you how to transport corpses? Did he teach you how to cure corpse poison?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Jie slowly shook his head: "He didn't teach me."
"The old master of corpse driving said that corpse poison is a minor skill and is useless to learn."
Zhao Youliang: "......"
