Zombies!

"Huh? It really is!"

As soon as Lao Shen spoke, everyone else noticed that there was a small red dot on the left side of the third photo. It wasn't very bright, but it was definitely there.

"What the hell is that?"

"Could it be the legendary Blood Bodhi or something? The thing that made Nie Feng instantly incredibly powerful after eating it?"

"Damn, your imagination is terrible! Nie Feng and his friends live in High Martial or 'low- Mystical Fantasy ' world, but we're in a cultivation world! It's different!"

What's all the noise about?

Lao Luo of few words, finally spoke up, "What's there to argue about? Give it to me, I'll adjust it and I'll be able to see it clearly..."

"Ten bottles, are you sure you can handle that?"

The other four laughed.

"Damn, why not? How can a man say he can't? I could drink ten bottles of liquor and knock you all out back then, and I can still do it now!"

"Laozi when I was in the city, I was a professional designer, you understand?"

"Hmm... I understand, it's graphic design, right?"

"Damn, it's a designer!"

"Anyway, you just have to wait and see."

' Luo Shiping ' took the phone and started working: 'Watch closely, today I'm going to teach you some practical skills.'

"Often, some photos look completely black, and it seems like you can't see anything clearly, right?"

"In reality, it's just that our eyes can't distinguish it. At this point, we can use some methods to 'make it obvious'."

"The simplest example is adjusting the brightness... Many people know this trick, but it is often overlooked. In addition, there is a more advanced operation: turn the contrast up to the maximum!"

"Look, isn't the red dot clearer now?"

"Huh? Why is there a blurry thing on the edge? Don't worry, let me adjust a few more parameters, and I'll definitely be able to see the general shape!"

Luo Shiping remained calm and carried out the operation step by step in an orderly manner, which surprised Lao Wang, Lao Shen and the others.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to have some skills!"

"I learned some skills in the city!"

"See? It's getting clearer and clearer!"

"That blurry thing... it looks like half an oval?"

"It's not exactly oval; it's somewhat irregular."

There's more down there!

"Hmm? Why do I feel a little uneasy about this?"

As Luo Shiping manipulated the image, it became increasingly 'grayish' instead of being completely black at the beginning. As the image continued to transform from black to gray, the content within it became clearer and clearer...

It was this one pill that caused Luo Shiping's face to grow increasingly pale, and he even started trembling all over.

After he finished adjusting the last 'attribute', he felt a chill run down his spine and his back went numb. He immediately threw his phone away.

"Holy shit!"

Luo Shiping's face turned deathly pale, and he cursed, "You scared the Laozi out of me!"

When he looked at the dark cave entrance again, the terror on his face was impossible to hide; his face was filled with fear.

"Damn it, my phone!"

Lao Wang frowned and cursed, then ran over to pick up the phone. He found the screen was cracked and became even more frustrated. "Damn it, the screen is broken!"

"Ten bottles? That's going too far!"

Then he came closer, puzzled, and asked, "Why did you throw my phone?"

He didn't get angry, but simply said, "What scared you like that?! I didn't realize!"

"You guys didn't notice?!"

Luo Shiping, almost trembling, snatched the phone, turned the screen towards the four of them, and pointed around the 'red dot', saying, "Damn, you guys really didn't notice?"

"You threw it so fast, how could we possibly see it?"

Lao Shen shrugged, and then the four of them looked over intently.

then...

They started to criticize and comment.

"Huh? This red dot... looks like an eye."

"Want to zoom in?"

"Huh, it looks like a vertical pupil, like a shot!"

"Could it be a snake?"

"But what are these blurry patterns on the edges?"

"Hey? Could it be a one-eyed snake?"

Seeing them huddled together exchanging words, Luo Shiping trembled even more violently. "Are you all fucking idiots?"

"That's half a face! Half a face!!!"

"It has one eye on its face, but it's half a human face, not a snake, not anything else, just a human face. Below that, there's half a body. Can't you really tell?!"

"Or is there something wrong with my eyes?!"

Luo Shiping immediately started cursing.

He was genuinely terrified.

That's not a snake at all!

It's clearly half a human face, or rather, half a human body! The red dots are the eyes, but the problem is, this cave has been there for who knows how many years, and this 'stone wall' is only recently formed...

What's the meaning?!

It means!

In this cave that has existed for who knows how many years, there is a damn person with red, vertical pupils!!!

And it looks like it's still alive!

Is this guy some kind of monster?!

Luo Shiping trembled, "Stop talking, let's get out of here! Damn it, this isn't a place for us!"

"This stone wall was only recently 'grown,' which means it's at least a thousand years old. It's an ancient monster over a thousand years old, still alive, with monster-like eyes. Don't you all want to live?"

"Run!"

Luo Shiping pulled them away.

but...

Lao Shen, Lao Wang, and the other three did not move an inch, their faces showing a mixture of fear and surprise.

"You???"

"Ten bottles."

Lao Shen took a deep breath and said, "I was scared just now, but now I suddenly understand."

"What?"

Luo Shiping was taken aback.

Lao Shen said quietly, "You're right. The people in here have definitely lived for countless years, and their eyes are so eerie; they're clearly extraordinary..."

"But have you ever thought about it? There are only two possibilities for the people inside: good people or bad people!"

"If he's a good person, this is our opportunity; he might just be our 'grandfather'! If he's a bad person, then we're doomed."

"It's a 50/50 chance anyway, either you live or you die!"

"We're currently living like ghosts, with absolutely no future. Although spiritual energy has revived, none of us are qualified to Entering Dao, and we can't even be accepted into the Wudang Mountain..."

"Who knows what the world will be like in the future? If cultivators are everywhere, those of us who can't even Entering Dao the path will be nothing but trash!"

"At best, we'll only survive at the very bottom. Since that's the case, we might as well give it our all!!!"

"If we succeed, the future is bright; if we fail? We'll just die!"

Lao Wang and the other two nodded in agreement.

Luo Shiping, however, turned pale.

"You... all think that way?"

"Right!"

"..."

"But this is not a fifty percent chance at all. Judging from his red vertical pupils, he looks more like a monster!"

"And look, he has fangs!!! This is more like some kind of monster than a human!"

"Don't you understand?"

Lao Shen smiled and said, "Actually, it's all the same. You might not think it's a 50% chance, but to us, it is!"

"That's right!" Lao Wang nodded. "It's either life or death! A fifty percent chance!"

"Let's go take a look..."

Blood-red vertical pupils?

And fangs?

Is it scary?

It is indeed terrifying, but... as the saying goes.

Is money more important or life? Of course, life is more important, but if I can't get money, I'll never be happy in my life!

They are all people struggling at the bottom of society, and they already know what they want.

Turn the tables!

Who doesn't want to turn their life around?!

But that's all they can do. No matter how hard they try, they can't get accepted into the sect or become someone superior to others.

Before the Spiritual Qi Revival, they were ordinary white-collar workers, ordered around by their bosses, superiors, and even colleagues every day.

After the Spiritual Qi Revival?

Even though I'm no longer working, who doesn't have dreams?!

They clearly remembered that when they went to Wudang to seek apprenticeship, a Entering Dao 'cultivator' told them after examining them that they were not 'suitable' for cultivation at all.

No talent? Nothing you say will help!

Since that's the case... we might as well fight to the death!

Is there a demon inside the cave?!

That's a monster!

If the right path is blocked, who knows, maybe he can become a demon cultivator or something?

Afraid?!

They were indeed afraid, but they were even more afraid of having no hope!

The four reached the edge of the rock face. Lao Shen squatted down again, letting Lao Wang stand on his shoulders, and then carried him towards the cave entrance...

This time, Lao Wang didn't hesitate and climbed in himself.

Then came the second and the third. When the third person went up, he put his leg down and pulled Lao Shen up with him.

Then, the four of them poked their heads out of the cave and looked at Luo Shiping: "Are you coming or not?"

"I..."

Luo Shiping opened his mouth, somewhat due to...

But, at that moment...

"Roar!!!"

A low growl suddenly came from inside the cave, followed by a howling wind that Luo Shiping could clearly feel even from outside the cave.

"Not good!"

He exclaimed in alarm, "Come out quickly!!!"

However...

It's too late.

The gust of wind that had been spewed out suddenly rushed back at an even faster speed, and its power was comparable to that of a category 10 typhoon!

The four of them were unable to get out and were all sent flying backwards.

"Quick, a flashlight!"

"Let's see what it is!"

"Great Immortal, please don't get excited. We want to become your disciples."

"Ah!!!"

Inside the cave, screams and shouts filled the air, while flashlight beams flickered incessantly...

"It's a zombie! Ah!!!"

Suddenly, Lao Shen's scream rang out, a shrill and chilling sound that sent chills down everyone's spine...

"Zombies?!"

Luo Shiping's face turned ashen.

"Ten bottles, run!!!"

Lao Wang's screams followed, and then... nothing more.

Luo Shiping's legs trembled violently; how could he dare to linger any longer?

He took off running, incredibly fast.

The next day, early morning.

Lin·Purple Firmament had just gotten out of bed when she received a call from Liu Gang: "Mister Lin... something has happened. The Seventh Vice Minister would like to have a chat with you."
