Chapter 298 Year of the Zombie King

Chapter 298 The Millennium Zombie King

An unseasonal rainstorm came suddenly, and the continuous huge raindrops were like abacus beads hitting the ground, making the roof crackle.

The sky remained dark until the next morning.

It was a rare moment when the entire Tan Mansion slowed down and people gathered together to chat.

There were also those who were itching to play cards secretly. Master Tan had issued an order prohibiting gambling in the mansion. There was little work, much money, and it was boring. There were only a few ways to entertain themselves. They could only use peanuts and soybeans as stakes, and they had a lot of fun while laughing.

The maids gathered in twos and threes to chat about gossip. Some candied fruits and dried fruits had already been given by the ladies who were in a good mood. They ate snacks while watching the rain outside the window. Ordinary wealthy families did not have such treatment.

The heavy rain at the beginning of winter turned the air from humid to damp and cold. The brazier has been lit to expel the moisture to prevent it from penetrating into the bones.

In the summer, the air is so hot and humid that it feels like being in a sauna. In the winter, even if you are resistant to cold, it is difficult to withstand this magical attack.

The three ladies plus Jingjing were playing mahjong together.

After three rounds, Ren Tingting won the most.

IQ is hereditary. As the daughter of a businessman, Ren Tingting is definitely the best in reading people's expressions and having skills. Apart from her, Jingjing, Bai Rourou and Ao Ningshuang are all about the same.

Tan Wenjie was watching happily from the side, but he saw Bai Rourou flip her hand and a compass appeared in her palm.

I forgot, her sister-in-law is an expert in fortune-telling.

"It's just a game of mahjong, it shouldn't be that serious."

If the skills are not good enough, metaphysics can be used to make up for it. Bai Rourou's technical level has been improved, and Ao Ningshuang has become the unlucky one.

"Ms. sir~"

"Lose whatever you want and I'll give you money!" Tan Wenjie waved his hand, and the master's money finally came in handy.

"We're not betting on money." Ao Ningshuang raised his nose in disdain.

"Ah? It can't be me?"

He knew that these women only wanted to take advantage of him.

"That's you."

"Master, I'm not for sale!" Tan Wenjie emphasized immediately, "But it's not impossible to give me a prize. I'll accompany you for a day if you win a game? I'm willing to sacrifice my life for you. I heard from Abin that he made tiger penis wine, so I'll have a drink later."

"You wish." Ao Ningshuang said.

Bai Rourou and Ren Tingting looked eager to try, one relying on metaphysics, the other on intelligence and technology.

"Rou Rou, what are you doing? You're not going to use the formation, are you? Ting Ting, don't let your eyes shine. Don't think you're going to win. In fact, I'm optimistic about Jing Jing. She will definitely be the final winner."

Jingjing rolled her eyes without disguising it.

"Hahaha!" Several people covered their mouths and laughed.

Seeing that they started to draw cards again, he immediately shut up. It would be disliked if you gave advice while others were playing cards.

Tan Wenjie walked out the door and looked up at the black clouds.

The windows were pattering with raindrops.

The drainage of the Tan Mansion has always been good, but there is still a pool of water in a small area in front, so people walking by with umbrellas have to take a detour.

A bald head slowly emerged from the puddle of water on the ground.

Fierce and evil.

The first thing he said caught Tan Wenjie off guard: "Uncle Tan, we have already encountered the Zombie King."

"Already met?" Tan Wenjie was surprised.

I don’t know whether it was because Taoist Mao, who looked “afraid of violence,” took the initiative to attack, or because his old father-in-law couldn’t help himself. Both of them were conservative when it came to dealing with zombies, and they used the most detailed and conservative methods to kill the zombies.

"It happened suddenly." The bald man on the water surface said, "My fellow Daoist Tianlong and I were preparing to investigate the cemetery. Unexpectedly, the zombie king noticed our approach. We were forced to fight it. However, its eyes can't see, and it can only sense hot things. We are safe for the time being."

"Where are you?"

"Miao Village."

Miaojia Village is 70 miles northwest of Tanjia Town. Tan Wenjie's influence there is already very weak, and many local tyrants do not buy into Tan Wenjie's ideas.

"Wait, I'll be there soon."

Tan Wenjie quickly packed up the things he needed to carry with him, and just hurriedly asked someone to give a message to the three ladies, then rushed into the rain curtain.

The sound of mahjong behind me dissipated in the wind.

The wind and rain were strong and heavy, and when Tan Wenjie was running fast, the raindrops hitting his body were as heavy as fists and dense.

However, the stronger the wind, the easier it was for him to run, breaking through the wind.

Miaojia Village, when Tan Wenjie arrived, he saw a group of people scratching their heads.

Taoist Mao, who was "afraid of violence", was pressing sticky rice against his arm, with poisonous smoke coming out from between his fingers. "Why are you alone?" He turned his head left and right, "Where is my father-in-law?"

"Fellow Daoist Tianlong has gone to inquire about the news."

Tan Wenjie nodded.

As for fighting zombies, he is very good at it.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

It's just that the zombies this time are a little more powerful.

Taoist Mao briefly recounted what happened when they encountered the zombies, with a serious expression. As "conservatives", they made a lot of preparations before taking action.

Formations, explosives, talisman paper, etc. are all available.

But they were still beaten by the zombie and fled for their lives. Even some of Taoist Mao's disciples were killed or injured. In the end, only he and Tan Wenjie's father-in-law jumped into the river together and barely escaped.

After a brief introduction by the other party, it was revealed that the Millennium Zombie King actually didn't have many abilities. It could fly, burrow underground, had a brain, could suck blood from a distance, was invulnerable to swords and guns, had infinite strength, and could even be decapitated and reborn...

Wouldn't that mean he can't defeat the zombies at all? If he were to fight the zombies, he would only need to add one more cannon and a little more explosives.

"I suddenly remembered that my window is still open." Tan Wenjie turned around immediately and said, "Let's contact each other when we have time. Eh? Father-in-law, why are you here?"

Ao Tianlong stared at Tan Wenjie: "Aren't you afraid that Xiao Shuang will know that you deserted the battlefield?"

He was in a very bad condition due to weak Qi and internal injuries.

I thought I could fight zombies with others, but after a long time I was alone with two injured people.

"That's wrong." Tan Wenjie shook his head, "I just want to be more prepared."

Don't you understand that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled? Tan Wenjie was very confident that if he asked Ao Ningshuang that he and her father fell into the water together, she would definitely save him.

Because he had asked before, and he remembered that Ao Ningshuang answered very seriously at that time: "My father is a good swimmer and can hold his breath in the water for a long time. If you fall into the water with him, you don't need me to save you, he can save you at the same time."

The serious and lovely answer made Tan Wenjie embarrassed to ask again. He thought that Ao Ningshuang was answering him in a roundabout way. It does take courage for a filial daughter to admit that her husband is more important. Give her a little face. Some things don't have to be said out loud.

"The most important thing now is to find the zombies," said Tan Wenjie, "and kill them right away after we find them."

The dark clouds in the sky have not yet dispersed, so it is not difficult to attract lightning, and he has a great chance of winning.

If you can't beat him, you can pay the civil servants from the underworld to come up and help you, and your chances of winning are just as great.

If he can't win, he can still use the magic of speed to escape, and in short, he is invincible.

"The zombies just broke out of the grave and will definitely suck blood." Taoist Mao said, "We can go door to door and ask people. There must be someone missing, or a pig or sheep."

Asking ghosts to investigate population issues is not as simple as investigating vampires. Every household has door gods and kitchen gods. Some families also worship Bodhisattvas or hang portraits of Zhong Kui at home. Ordinary ghosts cannot enter the door.

"This is an easy task," Tan Wenjie said. "We can finish it before dark today."

It can be solved by spending money.

Tan Wenjie's fame in this area is slightly inferior, but the rich people in the village still know him.

The village squire Mr. Miao had met Tan Wenjie before.

"How can you live here!" Mr. Miao pointed and said, "You must live in my house! Mr. Tan has two other masters, you can stay as long as you want!"

Ao Tianlong: "We are about to capture a thousand-year-old zombie king."

Miao Yuanwai's face changed and he laughed dryly: "Haha, it's not that I don't want you to live in my house, I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to it, and... that..."

"Understand!" Several people nodded.

"I'll send someone to investigate right away!" Miao Yuanwai responded quickly, "Check the surrounding villages to see if anyone has gone missing or been bitten by something."

Looking at Mr. Miao's departing figure, Ao Tianlong and the others shook their heads and sighed.

When he first learned that it was Tan Wenjie who wanted to ask him for help, Master Miao almost crawled out of the woman's bed. He still smelled of powder and had lipstick marks on his neck. But after hearing about the Millennium Zombie King, he immediately changed his attitude.

He is greedy for money and values ​​his life, and he wants to flatter others but is not straightforward.

"This man has a rat-like face, treacherous eyebrows, and a black forehead." Ao Tianlong said, "There may be a bloody disaster in the next few days."

"You want to save me?"

"Damn it, why bother saving him?"

"Father-in-law, you are worthy of it."

There is another person. You two, father-in-law and son-in-law, are really not hiding anything from others.

Taoist Mao: "Me too."
