Chapter 296 Catching Zombies
"This is the southwest restricted area! Aishan Mountain!"
Wen Nuan's expression changed: "If a zombie runs in here, it will be harder than finding a needle in a haystack!"
Shu Lu frowned. "The Ai Mountain is tall, majestic and continuous, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. There are more than 20 peaks over 4,000 meters! With such a large area, even if everyone from the Ninth Bureau came, it would be impossible to find everything."
"Last year, an expedition team went into the restricted area to explore, but no one came out alive. I heard that there are things in Aishan Mountain that we humans don't know about..."
Chen Wan looked at the two people with worried faces and said, "The flying corpse can't hide in there forever. If you two are scared, it's okay if you don't go."
She had planned to go alone.
Wen Nuan hurriedly said, "Master Shen, of course I have to go! No matter if it's the restricted area or somewhere else, since I've chosen to join the Ninth Inning, I can't back down!"
Shu Lu said with a determined look: "I will go! I am not afraid of Aishan. I am just worried that it will be difficult for only three of us to search Aishan. But no matter how long it takes, I am willing to go!"
Looking at the two people who were determined, Shen Wan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together. Zombies need to suck fresh human blood, they won't hide in Aishan Mountain forever, we just need to set up an ambush in the outer area in advance."
"Master Shen, we both listen to you! We will do whatever you say!"
The two of them trusted Shen Wan very much.
Shen Wan waved his hand and summoned five ghosts to carry the sedan chair.
The two were stunned when they saw the five ghosts carrying the sedan chair and Shui Lingling appearing before their eyes.
"There really are five ghosts carrying a sedan chair! Captain Qi didn't lie to us!"
"Master Shen, you are so awesome. How did you drive the five ghosts to carry your sedan chair?"
Chen Wan smiled slightly: "Money makes the world go round. There's some truth to this saying~"
Shu Lu and Wen Nuan followed her into the sedan chair.
The two of them were just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They looked and touched things in the sedan chair and let out shocked cries from time to time.
After a while, the five ghosts carrying the sedan chair arrived at the outskirts of Ai Mountain.
Shen Wan took the two of them to find the main person in charge of the Ninth Bureau in the outer area and explained their purpose.
The person in charge didn't believe them at first and thought they were scammers.
It wasn't until Shen Wan took out the badge of the founder of the Ninth Bureau that the person in charge broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly entertained them warmly.
Chen Wan: "We are not here to eat, do you know about the disappearance of zombies?"
The person in charge nodded quickly: "I know, I know. Captain Qi led people to search the area two days ago, but unfortunately they didn't find the zombie."
"Zombies have entered the Sorrowful Mountain..."
Before Shen Wan finished speaking, the person in charge shouted in surprise: "Ai Mountain is so big? Shouldn't we go in and look for it?"
"Can you please listen to what Master Shen has to say first?" Wen Nuan said unhappily.
The person in charge's face changed drastically: "Master Shen? This is Master Shen?"
He had heard of Master Shen's reputation in the Ninth Inning a long time ago and was her fan.
"Master Shen! I'm your fan!" The person in charge was ecstatic and wanted to shake hands with Shen Wan.
Chen Wan was about to lose his temper. "I didn't ask you to go in and find zombies. I asked you to inform the nearby mountain people to stay at home and not come out. In addition to pasting the corpse-repelling talisman, you also need to prepare glutinous rice to sprinkle around the house."
The person in charge nodded repeatedly: "Master Shen is very thoughtful. I will go and prepare it."
Chen Wan handed him a stack of corpse-repelling talismans that he had prepared.
The person in charge counted the corpse-repelling talismans and said with a wry smile, "Master Shen, it's not that I have high requirements, but there are not enough talisman papers. Although this place is close to Ai Mountain, there are many residents living in the mountain, about a hundred households."
Wen Nuan said faintly, "Then why don't you just gather everyone in one place and put up corpse-repelling talismans on them?"
Person in charge: "...Ahem! Okay, I understand."
The person in charge took the order and left, taking his men with him to arrange for notification to the mountain people.
Chen Wan took a map of nearby residents and began to deploy a plan to lure the flying corpses into the trap.
"These locations are dangerous places, and they are the paths where flying corpses may appear..."
She moved her fingers slowly across the map, marking key locations and carefully analyzing the terrain and routes of action.
Wen Nuan: "We will set up traps on the road, use sticky rice and talisman arrays to set up defenses, and catch any flying corpse that steps in!"
Shu Lu shook his head: "There are villagers living along the way. It would be bad if innocent people were hurt. Master Shen, do you have any foolproof plan?"
Chen Wan: "The flying corpse is not an ordinary zombie. It has a certain level of intelligence. We can set up an ambush along the way, but it can't be too obvious. We also need someone to disguise as a villager and release poultry to lure it out. It's best to be foolproof. Otherwise, if we alert the snake and let the flying corpse escape into the Aishan Mountain, it will be difficult to deal with it."
"Master Shen, I've asked around. There are more than 20 staff members of the Ninth Bureau stationed at Aishan. With the three of us, there are almost 30 of us. We can disguise ourselves as villagers."
As Shu Lu was speaking, the person in charge, Lao Liu, came back in a hurry and said nervously:
"Master Shen, it's bad. All the chickens raised by a family are dead. There is blood all over the ground. It's very likely that zombies did it!"
Shen Wan quickly grabbed his equipment and said, "Lead the way."
When we got to the villager's house, we could hear Mrs. Wang crying from a distance, "Who the hell killed my chicken? I'm not going to let him go!"
Mrs. Wang collapsed on the ground, filled with grief and anger. She cried even harder when she saw that the dozen or so chickens she had raised with great effort had all died.
A staff member advised her to evacuate, "Mrs. Wang, it's not safe here. Please come with us first."
"I won't leave! My chicken!"
When Shen Wan arrived at the scene, he saw chicken feathers and blood all over the ground.
More than a dozen chicken heads were separated, as if they were torn apart alive by a huge force. The scene looked extremely bloody.
Old Liu said, "Mrs. Wang doesn't have much income. She usually raises chickens and ducks and keeps them for eggs to sell."
Wen Nuan and Shu Lu also checked the condition of the chicken carcasses.
Chen Wan asked the two: "Did you see anything? Was it done by a zombie?"
Wen Nuan shook her head: "Zombies are bloodthirsty. If a zombie sucked blood, the chicken's body should be shriveled, but it isn't. The blood is all over the floor."
Shu Lu agreed, "I don't think it was done by zombies, it must have been done by humans. Look at the footprints over there in the chicken coop. I've observed that these footprints are different from those of the people present. The footprints are deeper, so it must have been done by a burly and strong man."
Hearing his analysis, Lao Liu's face suddenly darkened: "I know who it is, Li Si, it must be him!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she cried out, "What a sin! When will this bastard die? Not only does he steal my things every day, but he even took my chicken! Leader, you have to make a decision for me!"
