Chapter 35: Hunting Plan

Wu Xian and the other two took a step back in unison.

Zombies were too well-known. Who hadn't seen a few zombie movies? All three of them looked wary, weapons at the ready.

Wen Chao shook his head helplessly.

"Don't be like that. She's very quiet and won't hurt anyone."

Wen Chao affectionately held the zombie's hand, a gesture that made everyone's scalp tingle. A quiet zombie, my foot!

"This is my lover, Fu He."

"When we were young, we were both busy with work. Now that we're old, she's also sick. I want to take her out for a walk during this last period, to see the beautiful mountains and rivers."

"We are in the blessed land and can no longer escape. We will inevitably encounter similar situations again. Will we be lucky enough to escape then, gambling on a slim chance of survival?"

Following the information provided by Su Huijin, they arrived at the entrance to the supermarket's underground warehouse.

"What you said makes sense, but... I don't trust you."

Wen Chao shook his head.

"The third is cement. Yu Yinghua's ability can turn the cement floor inside into muddy ground. Our movements will be greatly restricted once we enter."

"Why do you need me? I've provided the main intelligence; my contribution is enough. There's no need for a weak woman like me to participate in the fighting."

However, to achieve Wu Xian's plan, one obstacle had to be cleared beforehand.

With her around, Wu Xian's plan couldn't be executed.

"But what about next time?"

Her meaning was clear: she would only provide intelligence, and the men would handle the fighting.

"Fortunately, the blessed land is different from reality."

On the old woman's collar, he saw bits of flesh and long hair. Judging by the length of the hair, it looked like...

Su Huijin chimed in, "I've been through the blessed land a few times. If you perform well, you do get some advantages... but they're very small."

If refining corpses required living people, would this old man also treat them as nourishment?

So, this seemingly kind old man, who hadn't shown much before, was the real ruthless one!

Wu Xian glared at Shi Ji, who immediately shrank his head.

While Wen Chao was explaining.

But for detective Wu Xian, Su Huijin was no longer just suspicious; she was a confirmed culprit.

After Wu Xian finished explaining the plan.

Su Huijin and Wen Chao were seeking benefits, wanting to gain a slight advantage in the next blessed land.

Now that the cause of their deaths was clear, Wu Xian felt relieved. As long as they didn't die for no reason, his plan could proceed with peace of mind.

"If I hadn't blown up the septic tank, I wouldn't have received Zi Gu's blessing. How about we go blow up another septic tank?" Shi Ji also spoke up in support of Wu Xian, earning a roll of Wu Xian's eyes as approval.

Everyone calmed their emotions.

Otherwise, according to his thinking, the feasibility of this plan was worse than blowing up a septic tank.

The underground warehouse door was open, with cement steps descending into an unseen depth. The interior of the warehouse was pitch black, exuding an unsettling atmosphere.

There was no choice. Wu Xian was the stronger one now.

The action plan was set.

But this frankness sent chills down the spines of Wu Xian, Shi Ji, and the other person.

"But this place has become a blessed land, and she was always very timid... So, so she didn't make it through the first night."

Su Huijin immediately protested upon hearing this.

"Everyone is already familiar with the clap game. As long as we rely on the child-seeking ghost mother, we can safely get through the next few days."

Their gazes locked for a moment, and finally, Su Huijin reluctantly relented.

"This evil spirit is troublesome; it's not comparable to those minor wandering wraiths."

Others might not be able to tell.

The blessed land's coverage area was only four residential communities.

It received unanimous approval from the other three.

Su Huijin shared the intelligence she had gathered with everyone.

Wen Chao explained what he needed one by one, while Wu Xian and the other two busied themselves searching for them.

"You!"

Wu Xian also acknowledged her contribution.

Wu Xian's lips curved up: "I have a plan..."

The sunlight was dimmer than before. Now, even in broad daylight, blurry shadows could occasionally be seen. Every blade of grass, every brick, and every tile exuded an eerie aura.

"Thank you for your trouble, Professor Wen." Wu Xian nodded. "Then, leave the direct confrontation with the evil spirit to the three of us."

Shi Ji was simply convinced by Wu Xian.

Now was not the time to pursue the old man's sin of corpse refining.

Wu Xian carefully examined the old lady zombie.

"This time, we can indeed survive."

After speaking, Su Huijin crossed her arms and looked at the three of them.

Shi Ji and the other two were somewhat tempted.

"I imitated you and bowed to those idols, and I obtained a 'corpse refining technique'. I thought it could bring her back to life, but it turned her into this half-human, half-ghost appearance."

The daytime in the blessed land was clearly getting shorter.

"No, we should seize the opportunity to gain more benefits, so as to gain an advantage in future blessed lands."

Su Huijin asked, "Then the bodies that disappeared before..."

That was the female evil, Yu Yinghua!

Shi Ji immediately undermined Wu Xian: "What's there to be unwilling about? Living is better than dying."

"None left. I had Old Fu eat her. Fresh flesh and blood can enhance a zombie's strength. I thought it would be a waste..."

Indeed, the information provided by Su Huijin was of high value, comparable to a guide. With this guide, Yu Yinghua was already like a fish on a chopping block. It wouldn't be excessive even if she didn't participate in the battle.

"The second is toughness. Yu Yinghua's body is very hard. Ordinary magic treasures and charm talismans have limited damage to her."

"But are you willing to end it like this?"

Wu Xian coughed.

"I fed them all to Old Fu. To complete corpse refining, a sufficient amount of flesh and blood is needed. I thought those bodies were just lying around."

"Is Yue Mei's body still here?"

Wen Chao was very frank.

He Qiong and her sister's deaths were definitely inseparable from her. He wasn't at ease with himself risking his life while letting this viper beauty stay safely in the rear.

Everyone began to prepare.

After such a conversation.

Wen Chao was the first to speak: "Leave the issues of light and cement to me. I can't guarantee a 100% solution, but I can definitely improve things."

"The first is brightness. It's too dark in the basement, making it difficult for us to see her position, yet she knows our every move."

His tone was very calm, as if he wasn't feeding a living person to the zombie, but discounted pork bought from the supermarket.

"To kill her, we need to overcome three difficulties."

"I think everyone might not want to take any more risks."

Wen Chao asked, "What do you mean by risks?"

However, various shops were still relatively complete. Only shops selling food and drinking water were emptied, while other shops selling building materials and hardware were still intact.

It didn't take much time. Wen Chao had prepared all the things he needed. Wen Chao processed these items uniformly, and the plan to hunt Yu Yinghua was considered complete.

Now, all that was left was the action!
