I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

No matter what the future holds, at least at this moment, they truly love each other...

Lin Kazuma looked at the fireworks, then turned his head to look at Sakurajima Mai.

The blue yukata with pink flowers made her look particularly plain, and her beautiful face appeared bright and dark under the light of the fire in the sky.

The dark blue eyes reflected the sky full of fireworks, dotted with stars.

The bangs of fireworks were heard constantly.

Her face illuminated by the fireworks, and her skirt and long hair swaying in the night breeze, were so beautiful that they were intoxicating.

A warm and soft little hand reached out from the side and grasped the boy's left hand that was hanging by his side.

Lin Hezhen turned his head and met Sakurajima Mai's smiling eyes.

Lin Hezhen only felt that a certain place in his heart was gently touched. That feeling was like a feather brushing against his body, tingling and numb.

Before he could open his mouth, a faint fragrance wafted around him.

Another slender and tender little hand covered the back of his right hand, and like a nimble fish, it slipped into the gap and interlocked its fingers with his.

Lin Hezhen turned around and found that it was Kato Megumi.

The girl stood beside him expressionlessly, staring at the fireworks in the distance.

But her hand was tightly grasping Lin Hezhen's big hand, refusing to let go at all.

"Kato, why are you also..." Lin Hezhen looked down at her slender white hands and asked in surprise.

The night wind blew past, lifting a few strands of hair by her ears.

Kato Hui lowered her eyelids slightly and took a deep breath.

"Jun Lin!"

"I like you!"

The sound was not loud, but it came with the wind and was loud enough for Lin Hezhen to hear.

In fact, even if there was no wind, Lin Hezhen would not miss any important words. He was not the useless protagonists described by light novel authors who were always selectively deaf.

"boom!"

The fireworks in the sky bloomed again, showing their most perfect appearance.

The fireworks are in full bloom, like lights in the darkness and lighthouses in the sea.

"I..." Lin Hezhen was about to say something, but was interrupted by a burst of noise.

The noise at the foot of the mountain seemed to freeze the air, and the only sound left in my ears was deafening cries for help.

"what--!"

"Murder! Run!"

Lin Hezhen's heart sank and he looked in the direction of the sound. He saw chaos in the square and countless people screaming and running away.

Chapter 270 Night of the Living Dead

Kasumigaoka Utaha is very panicked now.

The moment before, she was happily visiting the temple fair with her "golden retriever", eating delicious food, playing games, and watching the fireworks in the night sky.

The next second, the crowd on the other side of the square suddenly dispersed like a frying pan, and people scrambled to escape to the exit, as if some terrifying beast was chasing them.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the chaotic scene in front of her and was almost unable to think.

Everything was fine just now, how come it turned out like this in the blink of an eye?

Before she could figure out what was going on, a middle-aged man in a panic stumbled over and accidentally knocked her down when passing by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Feel sorry……"

The uncle hurriedly got up, said these words, and ran away hurriedly again.

"Excuse me, what exactly happened in front?" Kasumigaoka Utaha stretched her neck and shouted.

"There are some crazy people, they are biting people! Then the people who are bitten also become crazy, indiscriminately attacking people around them... Zombies, they must be zombies!" The uncle shouted in panic.

He answered Kasumigaoka Utaha while running, his fat round face covered in sweat, and he looked frightened, but his steps did not stop at all, and he soon disappeared into the crowd.

"Zombies?!" Kasumigaoka Utaha widened her eyes.

As one of the birthplaces of the concept of zombies, the island country launched the famous stand-alone game "Resident Evil" as early as 1996.

Subsequently, zombies quickly became popular in major film and television works and literary works.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was naturally familiar with this term. She knew that zombies were also called "living dead" or "the walking dead". They were generally ordinary humans who were infected by certain viruses.

They have extraordinary strength, are extremely vicious and insane, and will devour the flesh and blood of living people or other animals.

Zombies will search and determine people's whereabouts based on sound and smell, and use this to attack humans and animals.

What’s even more deadly is that zombies carry deadly viruses, like a plague, that can spread continuously.

Once bitten by it, humans or animals will be infected and become the same creature as it, and it is almost impossible to effectively treat it.

The worst thing is that once the zombies are allowed to form a certain size, they will roam in groups and convert all normal humans and animals into their own kind.

By then, humans as an intelligent race may disappear from the earth, and zombies will become the masters of the planet...

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but shudder.

Are you kidding me? How can zombies really exist in the world? Aren't they just fictional monsters?

Maybe these people mistook patients suffering from epilepsy or rabies for zombies.

Of course, rational thinking is one thing, but judging from the current situation, these people who are frantically fleeing for their lives don't seem to be able to remain calm.

If things go wrong, before the real zombies come to kill her, Kasumigaoka Utaha will be trampled to death.

So, Kasumigaoka Utaha struggled to get up from the ground, held the Smiley Cat that had turned into a golden retriever puppy in her arms, and stumbled towards the exit of the square.

No matter what, the most important thing now is to leave this place of trouble.

She trotted along in her wooden clogs, which were quite a nuisance because of the stiffness of the shoes.

"Ouch, hiss!" She almost sprained her ankle.

In a hurry, Kasumigaoka Utaha took off her clogs and threw them aside, then ran barefoot.

However, before she could run far, the screams and beast-like roars behind her were getting closer and closer.

"what--!"

A shrill scream was heard nearby.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was startled.

She quickly turned her head and saw that a middle-aged woman who had just been running not far behind her was knocked to the ground by a man covered in blood.

The man lay on top of her, opened his mouth and bit the woman's slender neck, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"No! Help!" The woman shook her head desperately, but she couldn't break free and could only shout in despair.

"Mom! Let me go!" Her child pushed the man anxiously, but it was of no use.

"Help! Help! Please, save my child..."

The woman's struggle became weaker and weaker, and her eyes gradually turned white.

She used her last bit of strength to push her young child towards Kasumigaoka Utaha, her face full of pleading.

"Little friend, come here quickly...I will take you away from here."

Kasumigaoka Utaha plucked up her courage and reached out to the child.

"Mother……"

The little girl looked at her mother's face and seemed to understand something. She reluctantly let go of her mother's hand and walked towards Kasumigaoka Utaha step by step.

"Don't be afraid, sister will take you home."

Kasumigaoka Utaha held back the tears that were about to burst out and reached out to greet her.

Just as their hands were about to touch, a skinny old man with bite marks all over his body suddenly jumped out from behind.

He grabbed the little girl's shoulders, pushed her to the ground and started biting her.

Bright red blood gushed out instantly, splashing all over Kasumigaoka Utaha's body and face.

She stood there blankly, staring at the child, watching her slowly close her eyes in the midst of painful wailing and struggle, and gradually lose her breath...

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"No, don't!" Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Little girl, don't sit here like an idiot, run for your life!" An old but strong arm helped her up.

When Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up, she saw an old lady with silver hair. She was wearing a black wizard robe and covered with strange decorations. It was none other than Takeda Sane, the grandmother who ran the fortune-telling hut.

"Ouch!"

A strange cry was heard, and several more zombies rushed over from behind, together with the mother and daughter in front of them who had already transformed into zombies, and attacked towards Kasumigaoka Utaha and Granny Saegusa.

"Edict!"

Granny Sanzhi threw out two small rag dolls that looked like Sunny Dolls from her sleeves, and the zombies actually abandoned them and pounced on the two dolls.

"Run now!"

Granny Sazhi growled and started running with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She heard the whistling wind in her ears, and smelled the scent of blood and stench in the air, and her ears were buzzing.

Her heart was trembling violently, and her body seemed to be weightless. She just relied on inertia to run behind her mother-in-law.

They ran all the way towards the exit of the square, carefully avoiding the zombies.

If there is no way to avoid them, Granny Sanzhi will use the same trick again and throw out the puppets to temporarily divert the zombies.

"Excuse me, what is the doll you lost?" asked Kasumigaoka Utaha in a low voice.

Granny Sanzhi replied, "That's the substitute doll I made. It was originally used to deal with evil spirits, but I didn't expect it to be useful against these undead creatures."

"Substitute doll? Evil ghost? Are you a supernatural being?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes lit up.

No wonder this old lady could send the zombies away, it turns out she possesses extraordinary powers.

Granny Sanzhi sneered: "Hey, what kind of extraordinary person am I? I'm just an old lady who performs folk arts. The official Yin Yang Institute of the island country does not recognize wild exorcists like us at all."

"Then you are also very powerful. If I hadn't met you, I would have died just now."

When Kasumigaoka Utaha thought of the previous situation, she was suddenly frightened, her stomach cramped, and she almost vomited.

A great fireworks display turned into a hell of Asura.

Countless lives were lost here inexplicably, making one wonder if they were having a nightmare.

"Alas, ever since the 'Ghost Disaster', all kinds of supernatural accidents have become more and more frequent. The island country, no, the Blue Planet, may never go back to the past." Granny Sanzhi sighed.

"yes……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the devastated square and nodded woodenly.

The peaceful daily life is gone forever. Before there were evil spirits, and now there are zombies. I’m afraid the end of the world will be here soon, right?

……

At the top of the mountain, Lin Hezhen noticed the movement in the square and immediately expanded his spiritual sense to capture the presence of those zombies.

"The 'Cult of All Things' has indeed taken action, but they actually chose to release highly contagious undead creatures like zombies in such a crowded place. How cruel," he thought secretly.

Lin Hezhen turned to face the girls and said decisively, "Someone has released zombies down the mountain. I'll go deal with them. You all leave here immediately and return home."

"Zombies?!"

Mai Sakurajima looked towards the square in surprise. With eyesight several times sharper than that of an ordinary person, she quickly discovered the commotion at the foot of the mountain.

“Kazuma, I want to go with you.” Yukinoshita Yukino walked over and said firmly.

How could Lin Hezhen dare to let them take risks? The people from the "Church of All Things" were still hiding. Who knew what tricks they had up their sleeves?

He rejected it immediately: "No, you must leave immediately! And zombies may not only appear here. What if there are other places in the city? Wouldn't your family be in danger?"

"This..." Yukinoshita Yukino's face changed. She did not rule out this possibility.
