Descending upon the terrifying heavens as a superman
Chapter 45 The Town Tragedy
"Ah Wei, I think you should go and apologize to Uncle Jiu and admit your mistake."
"Yeah, at worst, just let him beat you up. Fight back, it's better than having someone die."
"Besides, didn't you get bitten by a zombie yourself...?"
Such a terrible tragedy occurred in the small town. Early in the morning, the main hall of the Ren family was filled with the town's prominent gentry and landlords, all of whom were local strongmen and powerful figures.
It's no wonder they gathered together; it's because of the uproar over what happened last night.
First, last night at the police station, Mr. Ren, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly turned into a zombie and wreaked havoc in the police station. He wasn't afraid of being shot, and he bit and injured several people.
Even Awei himself was bitten by Master Ren.
Next was Old Master Ren. Last night, several of the Ren family's collateral relatives were killed by Old Master Ren, who drained their blood. The scene was utterly gruesome.
According to the surviving villagers, swords and hoes had no effect on it, only sending up sparks. Even when the village chief brought out a homemade gun, he still couldn't kill Old Master Ren.
The Ren family father and son caused thirteen deaths and injured a hundred people in one night.
This was quite a sensation for a small town that had been peaceful for decades.
It was only at this point that many people remembered Uncle Nine.
Uncle Nine spent half his life silently guarding the area around the town, resulting in the absence of zombies and even supernatural events.
Many people have become so comfortable that they have even forgotten Uncle Nine's contributions.
So much so that when Ah Wei falsely accused Uncle Nine of being the murderer, everyone else just stood by and watched, keeping to themselves as if it were none of their business.
Ren Tingting wiped her red eyes with a handkerchief. "Yes, cousin, you should go and apologize to Uncle Jiu, otherwise, my father..."
Just last night, because the village chief was no longer Ninth Uncle, Master Ren was shot by a bunch of bullets at the police station, killed and injured people, and then escaped. On instinct, he ran back to the Ren family to suck Ren Tingting's blood.
Fortunately, Wencai and Qiusheng were there. They protected Ren Tingting and fought off Master Ren, who had just turned into a zombie a day earlier.
"I know, but Uncle Nine was rescued, so he might not be at the mortuary..."
Awei scratched the wound on his arm. It was a bit difficult for him to apologize to an old man, but the zombie incident from last night was still vivid in his mind. Even with a bullet in his head, he was still full of energy.
At this moment, an old man stood up and said tremblingly, "No, based on my understanding of Uncle Nine, he would never leave the town after what happened with the zombies. You take some people to the mortuary to find his two apprentices, and you'll definitely find him..."
"Also, Ah Wei, you should ask Uncle Jiu if there's any way to treat your wounds. Look, they've turned black..."
"Yes, I know Uncle Nine best. Even if you have a grudge against him, he wouldn't stand idly by and watch zombies run rampant and harm the villagers..."
When Awei looked down, he suddenly realized that there was a large patch of darkness around his arm, as if he had been poisoned.
"Oh my god! I've been poisoned! Help!"
……
……
"Help! Uncle Nine—"
Ah Wei knelt before Uncle Jiu, slapping himself repeatedly with snot and tears streaming down his face. "It's my fault. I'm not human. I actually suspected you were the one who released Old Master Ren and killed my uncle. I was stupid. I deserve to be hit..."
"Please, give me a good beating to vent your anger, but please don't abandon me."
"Even if you don't save me, please look at the other villagers; they are all innocent..."
Zhang Yue, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, a tree without bark is doomed to die, and a person without shame is invincible."
Ah Wei, this seemingly cunning and despicable villain, has a skin as thick as a city wall. One second he's trying to please Ren Tingting by having Uncle Jiu arrested and tortured, and the next second he's shamelessly begging for mercy.
A person who can take things on and let them go so easily is indeed a petty person.
Although it is true that Uncle Nine is the most suspicious person for Old Master Ren escaping from the grave.
In order to seek Uncle Nine's forgiveness, Ah Wei not only came in person, but also brought the villagers and constables who were injured by the zombies last night.
In total, there were nearly 80 or 90 people, some of whom were scratched and others bitten.
And then there were the thirteen corpses that were bitten to death by zombies on the spot...
But it's clear that Ah Wei isn't as brainless as portrayed in the movie. With his shamelessness, it would be unjust if he didn't climb the ranks.
Some prominent local landlords and gentry who had come over also tried to persuade him, saying, "Yes, Uncle Jiu, please consider the people's plight, the villagers are all innocent."
Although Uncle Jiu still harbored resentment towards Ah Wei, seeing so many villagers, he sighed and said, "Get up..."
"The most important thing now is to cremate these bodies that were bitten to death as soon as possible, otherwise they may turn into zombies from the corpse poison after tonight."
"Also, all those who are injured or scratched by zombies are treated with glutinous rice, as it can remove the zombie poison..."
An old man asked, "Uncle Jiu, can glutinous rice alone cure corpse poison? Should other herbs be added?"
Uncle Nine shook his head. "Sticky rice will do. We need to hurry, otherwise, if too much time passes, those scratched by zombies will also turn into zombies..."
Upon hearing this, some of the other villagers immediately ran towards the rice shop.
"Glutinous rice, go buy some right now, buy glutinous rice..."
"I'll go buy some glutinous rice right now..."
Awei immediately gave a few instructions to his two men, telling them to hurry to the rice shop and buy him a bag of glutinous rice—no, two bags…
A gentleman who seemed to have some status stepped forward. "Uncle Nine, to be honest, besides asking Ah Wei to apologize to you, everyone also plans to ask you to help catch some zombies."
"We can't sleep peacefully at night until these two zombies, Mr. Ren, are eliminated."
Uncle Nine casually pointed to the blood-stained bandages on his body and his cane, "Look at me like this, do I even have the strength to catch zombies?"
He was severely tortured, and although he only suffered superficial injuries and no internal damage, his hands and feet were already immobile. In his current state, he'd be better off going to his death.
An elderly gentleman exclaimed in panic, "What...what should we do?"
Uncle Nine pondered for a moment and said, "There are two options now. One is to let Tingting stay at the mortuary first. Master Ren and Old Master Ren will definitely come looking for her. I will have my apprentices set a trap at the mortuary to wait for them to finish. The other option is for you to have the security team search for traces of the zombies in the surrounding area during the day."
"They are afraid of sunlight. If you find their hiding places during the day and force them into the scorching sun, you can kill them in no time..."
Awei immediately exclaimed with delight, "Great idea, great concept!"
He then turned to his men and said, "Did you hear me? Go find the zombies!"
"yes--"
Zhang Yue shook his head, looking at Awei's gang. He knew that if the general was incompetent, the soldiers would be incompetent as well, and the chances of them finding the zombies during the day were zero.
At this moment, Uncle Nine suddenly turned to Zhang Yue and said, "Brother Zhang, come with me into the Ancestral Master's Hall."
