"Xiao Luo, is the medicine ready?" The voice of a middle-aged man came in.
"It's ready, please take a seat beside the stove," said Su Xiaoluo.
"Sure, I heard from Old Man Yang that you're already preparing the medicine. That's great news. Do you know that ever since Uncle Guan left, there's nothing we can do about it? Luckily, you're here …" said the old man with a smile.
"Not at all, we have to thank Fu Da. He went out in the rain to collect the primer," said Su Xiaoluo.
"Oh, oh, I'll have a chat with Fu Da."
Inside the hut, sparks would occasionally pop out from the stove, leaving a scorched mark on the wooden ring.
The old man who spoke was wearing a straw raincoat. He placed the raincoat in a bamboo basket, revealing a well-maintained face. However, when he smiled, his face was full of wrinkles, allowing others to easily determine his age.
"Fu Da, you're really lucky," the old man, Xie Sang, smiled and patted the shoulder of the skinny young man.
"You're hurting me." The skinny young man turned his head blankly and said in an emotionless tone.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you're injured here too," said Xie Sang with a smile as he sat in front of the skinny young man.
The skinny young man remained seated, showing no reaction to Xie Sang's words.
Xie Sang let out a sigh and asked Su Xiaoluo in the hut, "Did he lose his memory, or did he turn into a retard?"
"I don't know, he just looks like a retard," said Su Xiaoluo.
"It's not a big deal if he lost his memory, but it's most likely that he's suffering a mental blow, or his head is severely damaged. It can be treated, but if he turns into a retard, it'll be difficult for him to recover, "said Xie Sang.
"The medicine is ready!" Su Xiaoluo came out with a pot of black medicine.
Xie Sang took it from her. Su Xiaoluo quickly reminded him that it was still hot. Xie Sang finally realized that he had almost knocked over the pot of medicine.
"You're already an adult, yet you're still so careless. How are you going to take care of the village!?" scolded Su Xiaoluo.
"Hehe, don't blame me for not reminding you. You're not young anymore, yet you're always staying in the same hut with this guy …"
"Hurry up and deliver the medicine!"
"Alright, alright, alright."
As soon as Xie Sang left, Su Xiaoluo patted her sore shoulders tiredly.
She glanced at Zhang Xiaohou who was sitting in front of the brazier like a wooden stake. Seeing that he was ignoring her, she couldn't help but snort.
After snorting a few times, Zhang Xiaohou sat there indifferently. This made her so angry that she stomped her feet and turned her head away, too lazy to look at him.
"Oh no!! Not good!!! "
"Hide! Quickly hide!!!"
At this moment, an auntie's panicked cry came from outside the house.
Su Xiaoluo quickly opened the window and saw Auntie Xie running into the village in a panic. She even tripped and fell into the mud as she was running too fast.
"What is it, Guru Xie!" Su Xiaoluo blurted out.
"Undead, there are undead at the entrance of the village … The old man was eaten alive …" Xie Dashen was obviously scared and incoherent, his voice trembling.
"I'll go take a look …" Su Xiaoluo immediately put on her raincoat and ran out of the house.
Zhang Xiaohou followed her without hesitation when he saw her running out of the house, as if he was worried that something bad would happen to her.
Some of the villagers cried out in fear. Some of the more timid ones immediately ran deeper into the village …
Su Xiaoluo and Zhang Xiaohou ran straight to the entrance of the village. They were shocked to see that the path leading to the village was dyed red. The blood mixed with the rainwater and formed a stream, spreading out into the distance.
A few young and strong villagers were standing in the rain with hoes in their hands. They did not dare to go any closer to the entrance of the village. They could only stare at the zombie that was eating the old man at the entrance of the village …
"What's going on? Didn't the old man drink the water from the Kun Well?" Su Xiaoluo's face turned pale when she saw the gory scene.
"Of course he drank it, but for some reason, the undead is still attacking us … it's most likely a mutated undead!" said the trembling villager who was holding the hoes in his hands.
"It must be a curse, our Hua Village must be cursed! A week ago, Lao He died under the claws of the undead, and three days ago, another one died. Today, the entrance of the village was attacked in the evening. It won't be long before a large number of undead rush into the village and … eat us all. Curse, I told you we shouldn't do that, we're cursed! "blurted out another middle-aged villager.
The zombie was extremely cruel. It did not seem to be satisfied after eating the old man's organs. It lunged at another young villager who was trying to drive it away.
The young villager did not even have the chance to swing his sickle before his throat was bitten open. Thick blood splattered out from the wound, a shocking sight under the gray rain!
The villagers were using a special method to protect themselves from the undead's attacks. However, when something happened, they could not even fend off a zombie!
"Run!"
A few young and strong villagers were scared out of their wits and fled into the village.
"Don't let it enter the village!" Su Xiaoluo tried to stop the villagers, yet they were so scared that they ran away faster than anyone else.
Su Xiaoluo clenched her teeth and quickly ran toward the wooden fence …
The zombie had yet to enter the village. If she could lower the wooden gate at the entrance, she would be able to resolve the danger. The wooden gate was made of gray wood. The undead were not fond of wooden products like that, thus they would stay as far away from the village as possible …
Su Xiaoluo ran toward the gate. To her surprise, the zombie's green eyes immediately locked onto her.
The zombie abandoned the young villager who was halfway through his meal and lunged at Su Xiaoluo like a starving wild dog.
"What are you doing, are you tired of living!?" screamed a middle-aged woman.
Su Xiaoluo turned around and saw the zombie charging at her at a shocking speed. It felt like it was right in front of her in the blink of an eye.
"Fire Burst!"
"Explode!"
In the nick of time, a ball of fire broke through the heavy rain on the muddy path and landed accurately on the zombie.
The fireball exploded and sent the zombie flying. Its body began to fester from the explosion.
"How can you guys deal with the undead? Leave!" A young man with vertical eyebrows shouted on the road of Niyong Village.
The villagers who were running for their lives immediately reacted as if they had just seen their savior …
"Great, Hong Jun, you're in the village. We're saved!"
"Hong Jun, this zombie is very ferocious. Why don't we wait for your father and deal with it together?" The villagers quickly scattered and hid behind the young man called Hong Jun.
