Dayandu, less than 50 kilometers from Jindu, now looks like it's from the end of the world.
Countless undead frantically chased and pounced on their former kin, and the screams and howls of Beast became the only melody in the city.
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü stood on the rooftop of a building, looking down at the chaotic city below, their faces remaining completely calm.
They have fallen into the Abyss of the dead; the once Divine Condor has now become two demons.
Perhaps it was just their instinct at first, but once they experienced the delicious taste of the "food," they became completely addicted.
This is the instinct of the undead; they have no special abilities, so they are completely unable to resist this instinct.
What's most terrifying is that the more they devour, the more deeply ingrained this instinct becomes.
At this moment, they had all changed into modern clothes.
Yang Guo was wearing a black trench coat, while Xiaolongnü was wearing a white long dress.
Behind them were several chefs, who too had become undead.
At this moment, they are carefully preparing "food" for Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü. If a normal person saw this "food," they would probably vomit up their dinner from the night before.
Compared to Dayandu, Jindu Luck because the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan encountered Ling Yi, and the Undead Calamity was nipped in the bud by Ling Yi before it could even erupt.
But in Dayandu, all the rebels had already been killed by Yang Guo and his companion, either becoming "food" or... ghosts.
At the entrance of a supermarket, a girl covered in blood was squatting on the ground, wailing loudly.
Before her stood a middle-aged couple whose bodies had become mangled and broken. Now, they too had become ghosts, their withered and broken bodies twisting as they walked into the supermarket.
The girl clutched a baseball bat in her hand, which she used to fight against the undead before she became one.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" the girl murmured, wiping away her tears.
Next, the girl did something astonishing: she raised a baseball bat and smashed it down hard on the heads of the two undead corpses in front of her.
With the Soul Pearl of the two undead shattered, they fell completely silent, turning into mere corpses.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" The girl clutched her heart in anguish and stood up unsteadily.
"Why did this happen? Why did this happen?!" the girl shouted angrily, then raised her baseball bat and charged at the ghosts around her.
Many of the spirits who had regained consciousness were moved by this scene, and some joined the girl's group. Although they were spirits, they had not forgotten their human identity after regaining consciousness.
They are powerless against the instincts of the dead, but equally, they are filled with hatred for the dead.
They will lose their minds again, but once they regain their senses, they will resume their Carnage of the dead.
Compared to those undead who willingly degenerate and abandon their human identity, these Undead People become even more respectable and admirable.
"Undead People," is what the girl calls herself. The other companions who joined her also accepted their new identity: they are undead, but they are also human.
On the rooftop, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, watching this scene, did not stop the girl.
As long as they have enough "food" and the people around them are still alive, they don't care about anything else, even if the world is destroyed.
This building used to be a seven-story Star Grade hotel.
All entrances and exits of the hotel have been sealed off, turning it into a closed prison.
More than nine hundred people were kept here like lambs to the slaughter, to be "enjoyed" at any time.
Suddenly, several cannon shots rang out in the distance.
"What's that sound?" Yang Guo asked one of the undead chefs.
"I don't know, could it be the army?" the cook said nervously.
Meanwhile, the expression on the face of one of the undead chefs beside him suddenly changed, and he looked into the distance with a look of terror.
"I, I, I know, those are the weather bureau's rain cannons. Someone is trying to force rain to disperse the dark clouds ahead of time."
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü didn't know what a rain-dispersing cannon was, but they understood what it meant to disperse the dark clouds in advance.
"How annoying, it's rare to have a cloudy day where we're not affected by the sun," Xiaolongnü said, frowning.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll go and destroy it."
With that, Yang Guo grabbed the chef, leaped off the roof...
At the Xiangyang Military Base, Dayandu, troop transport vehicles drove out of the barracks one after another, heading straight towards Dayandu.
Inside the base, a full fifty armed helicopters slowly took off and roared out of the military base.
The first clash between humans and martial arts spirits is about to begin...
Meanwhile, Ling Yi and You Shishi had already driven towards Mount Zhongnan.
You Shishi, in the passenger seat, was searching for news.
However, there is no information about the undead online, so they are unaware of the Divine Condor Dayandu Calamity in Dayang Capital. Clearly, the authorities have deliberately blocked related content.
Just then, a video suddenly popped up on You Shishi's phone, and an electronic voice rang out from her phone.
" Ling Yi, Dayandu has fallen."
Just as Ling Yi was about to ask something, You Shishi screamed and threw her phone out the window, where it was run over by the car behind and turned into pieces.
" You Shishi, are you crazy? Why did you throw your phone away?"
"It, it spoke!"
"Nonsense, that's an AI program I wrote, of course it can talk," Ling Yi said angrily.
"Huh? An AI program? You wrote it?"
Ling Yi said with a dark face, "I will put you down when we get to a safe place."
"Are you going to abandon me?" You Shishi said, feeling wronged.
"Yes, now you don't have to worry about me using you as a food reserve."
"I don't!"
"Why? Haven't you been thinking about running away all along?"
"I... I... you promised to teach me Kung Fu Hustle."
I'll send you the cultivation manual later.
"No, you have to teach me before I leave."
"Beautiful lady, you'll only be a burden to me if you stay with me. To put it bluntly, you'll be a nuisance, understand?"
You Shishi pouted and remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Do you think I can ever go back to a peaceful life?"
"I've been a good girl for decades, going to school and acting in a structured way, and I've never done anything out of line from childhood to adulthood."
"You suddenly barged into my life, didn't you?"
"Now that you've messed up my life, you think you can just walk away? No way! You have to take care of me."
Ling Yi felt a headache coming on. Sure enough, every good girl has a little devil living inside her.
Just then, the car navigation LCD screen lit up automatically, a video started playing automatically, and at the same time, an electronic voice sounded from the car audio system.
" Ling Yi, Dayandu has already fallen, and the Fangzheng currently dispatching troops to encircle and annihilate it."
"Who is being Resurrection?" Ling Yi asked, frowning as he watched the video.
" Yang Guo, Xiaolongnü!"
The scene shifts, and on the screen, a handsome man in a black trench coat and a woman in a white long dress are walking out of a clothing store.
Then, the emaciated undead rushed out from behind them and pounced on the crowd in the street.
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
The scene then shifts to a video of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü fighting against the police.
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü were clearly unfamiliar with modern weapons, so at the very beginning of the Combat, Yang Guo were each shot several times, especially Yang Guo Xiaolongnü, who was hit directly in the forehead by one of the bullets.
Luck, the shot missed the Soul Pearl, but it thoroughly enraged the two of them.
The two used their Qinggong to weave through the crowd like ghosts. In the blink of an eye, corpses were scattered all over the ground. Then, the scene of the two "eating" unfolded.
You Shishi turned pale and almost vomited several times.
The scene in the video then shifts, but this time the protagonist is not Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, but a girl who watches as her parents are devoured by other spirits, their faces unrecognizable, before turning into spirits right before her eyes.
And then I watched them rush towards me...
After the girl lost control of her instincts and completed a hunt and ate, regaining her senses, her hysterical cries and screams were incredibly heartbreaking to watch.
In the following videos, there are scenes of the girl losing control, at which point she is a demon; there are scenes of the girl hunting other undead, at which point she is like a hero.
More and more people gathered around her, and they had spontaneously formed a hunting team, traversing every corner of Dayandu.
To prevent them from harming humans if they went out of control, they took over a farm...
However, the scale of the farm was not large, and they couldn't sustain it for long.
" Ling Yi, please help them," You Shishi pleaded.
Ling Yi nodded and directly commanded the AI program, " Ling Jiu, bring over some small drones, the more the better."
"Notify the military to refrain from attacking. They only need to blockade Dayandu to prevent any undead from escaping. I don't care what methods you use—threats or warnings, whatever you do—you must achieve this."
"Also tell them that someone has found a solution, and these spirits can still be saved. What's the girl's name?"
Her name is Shen Yingying!
Tell Shen Yingying to be patient and that I will send her enough artificial blood food before tonight.
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he parked the car on the side of the road and fell into deep thought.
The appearance of the dead was inevitable, as evidenced by the fall of Dayandu.
However, the undead are not zombies or ghouls; in essence, they are still human beings.
They may be driven by instinct and lose their reason, but once they regain their senses, they are still human.
This... seems even more painful than simply turning into a mindless zombie.
Aside from a few who have fallen, most people do not want to become man-eating monsters.
This setup will make this Undead Calamity extremely complex.
Ling Yi can't save everyone, but he will do his best to save those who deserve it, like Shen Yingying!
" Ling Yi, Shen Yingying requests to speak with you," Ling Jiu's voice rang out.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Yi said, "Forget about the phone call. Tell her I'll be going to Dayandu to find her soon."
