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

If that were the case, ordinary people would be in a much more dangerous situation than the powerful Lin Hezhen.

Lin Hezhen advised: "Don't worry, it's just the lowest level of undead creatures, it's nothing to me, you should go back and protect your family."

Several girls have already started practicing, and with the amulets and attack talismans given by Lin Hezhen, they are just a group of zombies and are no match for them at all.

“…Then let’s go, Kazuma, be careful.”

"Well, I will."

After seeing the girls off, Lin Hezhen looked at the chaotic square and his eyes became sharp.

"You actually used ordinary people as cannon fodder without hesitation. This 'Cult of Everything' is truly a cult. It acts cruelly and has no bottom line. Let me see what your purpose is!"

After saying that, he stretched out his body and flew towards the square like a roc spreading its wings.

Chapter 271 Father and daughter meet

Granny Takeda Saeeda took Kasumigaoka Utaha and ran to the emergency exit on the east side of the square.

"It's almost safe here. There's a subway station nearby. It should not have been affected by zombies yet. Little girl, you should go home quickly. I, an old woman, should leave too." Grandma Sanzhi said breathlessly.

For an elderly person like her, running at full speed and using a large amount of spiritual power is really too much for the body.

"Granny Saegusa, aren't you going to take the subway?" asked Utaha Kasumigaoka in surprise.

At this time, the streets were already filled with survivors who had escaped from the square. Some of them drove, some took taxis, and the main roads were crowded with people.

In this case, the fastest way to leave may be to take the subway.

"No," Grandma Sanzhi shook her head, "My shop is nearby, and there are several children waiting for me in the shop. I have to move them to a safe place."

In the early days of the revival of spiritual energy, many children who could see ghosts but were not qualified enough to become Onmyoji were born in the island country.

These children were abandoned and ignored by the Onmyoji Bureau, but because they could see things that ordinary people could not see, they inevitably exhibited abnormal behavior, and were disliked by ordinary people, becoming orphans.

In desperation, they could only huddle together for warmth, learn some inferior spells to become wild wizards, and then rely on the master-apprentice inheritance among their kind to survive in the gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people.

This is how Granny Sanzhi was brought into the art world by her master, and now, she is also fulfilling her obligation to inherit the art by raising and teaching children of the same background.

To her, those children were both her apprentices and adopted sons and daughters. She couldn't just leave them alone and allow them to fall into danger.

"What are Grandma Saeji's plans for the future?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked again.

Grandma Sanzhi smiled and said, "I'll go straight to the station after picking up the children, and then go back to my hometown in the countryside to farm with my son. I'll hide for a while."

"You don't have to worry too much. No matter how chaotic the East City is, with the Yin Yang Bureau and that mysterious master in charge, nothing serious will happen."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and lifted her sweat-soaked hair from her ears: "Well, thank you, mother-in-law. We'll say goodbye here then."

"Okay, bye, little girl."

"Goodbye, mother-in-law, and please take care of yourself." Kasumigaoka Utaha said sincerely.

Grandma Sanzhi waved her hand, and her old but agile figure quickly disappeared in the crowd.

"I have to go home right now. I wonder how things are going with my parents?"

While running towards the subway station, Kasumigaoka Utaha took out her cell phone to call her parents.

Her parents are both employees of large companies. They are very busy at work and often work overtime until late at night. If it is not the weekend, they usually do not come home for dinner.

Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha spends less time with her parents, she was raised and loved by them and is very concerned about their situation.

As soon as Kasumigaoka Utaha took out her mobile phone, she saw from the reflection on the screen that there was a man wearing a silver vertical eye pendant behind her, quietly approaching her.

"who?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha instinctively sensed danger, and she immediately dodged to the side, preparing to escape.

But she was still a beat too slow. The man was much faster than her. He rushed up to her, covered her mouth with a handkerchief he had prepared long ago, and dragged her to a black van on the side of the road.

The other man caught the Smileless Cat who had transformed into a golden retriever puppy.

This sudden change frightened Kasumigaoka Utaha, and she struggled desperately.

“Mmm…!”

Kasumigaoka Utaha tried her best to scream for help, hoping that someone nearby could hear her cry for help.

But the traffic was too chaotic and everyone was busy taking care of themselves. In addition, the light was dim at night and no one noticed what was happening here.

Kasumigaoka Utaha kicked, twisted and struggled desperately.

She wanted to scream for help, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't make a sound. Moreover, the handkerchief was sprayed with something that made her feel dizzy and her limbs weak, and her struggles became weaker and weaker.

Finally, her consciousness faded and she was pulled into a van and stuffed into the back seat.

"Is it this dog?" She heard someone ask this in a trance.

"Yes, it is this golden retriever puppy. Priest Aki has personally confirmed it. He will definitely not catch it wrong."

"That's good. Let's quickly send them to Priest Aki. If we catch the remnants of the Spencer family and their accomplices, we will have done a great deed."

Several kidnappers were talking excitedly, and as they stepped on the accelerator, the van roared and sped away into a secluded alley.

……

As soon as Kasumigaoka Utaha was attacked, Hayashi Kazuma received a warning.

"In a place with a large flow of people like a fireworks display, they release zombies to disrupt the situation, and then take the opportunity to kidnap the target person. The people from the 'Cult of All Things' are quite meticulous in their work." Lin Hezhen said lightly.

In his arms, Eriri said worriedly, "With so many zombies, will it become like in the movies, where the island nation and even the entire world are occupied by zombies, and humans can only hide in the survivor bases to survive?"

"Don't worry. With me here, no matter what conspiracy the 'Cult of Everything' is planning, it is doomed to fail."

Lin Hezhen stood in the center of the square, looking around at the densely packed zombies with a calm expression on his face.

"Ouch!"

These low-level undead creatures that had lost their minds, smelled the breath of living people, and immediately roared and charged towards Lin Hezhen.

There are a huge number of zombies, they are pouring in from all directions like a tide. If ordinary people or monks with low magic power were here, they would probably have despaired long ago.

But Lin Hezhen just glanced at him indifferently and then took a step forward.

With a "bang", the ground of the square instantly exploded with countless cracks centered on his feet, and broken tiles flew into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding air seemed to be sucked out and solidified, forming a huge white vortex.

The white vortex causes the surrounding air to distort violently, forming strong wind pressure.

"boom--"

An invisible air wave swept around, and the zombies that pounced on him and tried to bite him were immediately crushed by the air wave and turned into ashes.

Thousands of zombies in the square were turned into dust by this attack.

"Ho ho!" A strange roar came from behind.

"Oh, there's actually a zombie here that hasn't turned into black ash? It's a little stronger than those small fry, so he must have been a transcendent when he was alive."

Lin Hezhen quickly turned around and looked at the tall, ferocious-looking male zombie in front of him, who was wearing a well-tailored suit and had short golden hair.

Ying Lili stared at the other person, her pupils suddenly dilated, and her heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.

"……dad?"

Eriri shouted out tremblingly, her tone full of shock and confusion.

The zombie in front of him was covered in blood, with a large dent on his chest and dark purple spots all over his skin. Although his face was distorted, his body shape, appearance, and clothing were exactly the same as Eriri's father.

This turned out to be her long-missing father who was declared dead by the "Church of All Things"!

"No...this is impossible! My dad, he's not like that!"

Ying Lili couldn't believe her eyes. She shook her head desperately, but tears were already flowing out of her eyes.

"My dad...my dad doesn't look like this...He wears gold-rimmed glasses and has a gentle temper. He wouldn't yell like this..." She spoke incoherently.

The father in Eriri's memory was always gentle and polite. Even at his most serious moments, he always had a smile on his face. Even when she was naughty, her father was always patient and tolerant towards her.

Dad understands and supports her interests. He watches anime with her, plays galgames with her, attends comic conventions with her, and helps her sell doujinshi.

In Eriri's heart, he is her closest friend and the most amazing father, the person she respects and admires the most.

But now, Dad has become like this? !

How could he...

Ying Lili covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she would cry out loud if she was not careful, but the tears still kept falling and flowing silently down her cheeks.

"Ow—"

This zombie had long lost its memories of being a human. At this moment, it was just a walking corpse that acted on instinct.

It let out a long howl toward the sky, then suddenly rushed towards Lin Hezhen and Ying Lili, opening its bloody mouth and biting towards them.

Lin Hezhen stretched out his hand and pointed. A golden light flew out from his fingertips and turned into a rope in an instant, binding the zombies tightly.

"Fizz!"

The zombie was shaking and struggling, but to no avail. It could only fall to the ground and let out meaningless roars in the direction of the two people.

Ying Lili stared at the zombie blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

Lin Hezhen sighed and said, "Eri, your father has passed away. This is just a moving corpse. Please accept my condolences."

"...Yeah, I know." After a long while, Eriri murmured in reply.

She whispered slowly, "Lin Hezhen, do you know? My father taught me since I was a child that if I encounter difficulties, no matter how bad my mood is, I must never give up on myself, and I must be strong and brave to move forward..."

Lin Hezhen comforted her, "You have a good father. He must hope that you can listen to him and cheer up at a time like this."

"That's right, I have to be strong." Ying Lili said softly, but her tears rolled down uncontrollably.

"My father has passed away, and this monster just looks like him. Kazuma, can you do me a favor?" She wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"what's up?"

"Help me...let my father's body rest in peace."

Ying Lili's eyes were red, and she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I want to take Dad home."

"Okay." Lin Hezhen was silent for a moment after hearing this, then agreed.

He snapped his fingers, and the ropes binding the zombies instantly caught fire.

The flames burned fiercely and quickly engulfed the zombie's figure. Soon, it turned into a pile of black ashes.

Ying Lili squatted beside the pile of ashes and stayed there quietly for a while, then stood up and wiped away her tears.

“Come on, Kazuma, let’s go save those innocent people and prevent them from becoming like dad.”

There was a gleam of determination in her eyes.

……

Earlier, some zombies had chased tourists out of the square and were wreaking havoc on the streets.

These zombies are different from the slow-moving guys in the movies. They are very agile and can rush to crowded places in the blink of an eye. Then they grab ordinary people and bite them madly, turning them into their own kind.

"The zombies are coming out, run!"

"Help!"

"Damn it, don't come over here!"

People screamed and ran away, but the fast-moving zombies pounced on them mercilessly.

"what--"

A girl was caught by a zombie, and its bloody mouth bit her pretty face mercilessly, causing blood to flow out instantly.

She looked at her boyfriend desperately: "Honey, save me..."

"No, don't..." The boy dodged to the side in panic, his eyes fixed on the zombies, not daring to save anyone.

The girl wailed in pain and slowly closed her eyes...

There are many tragedies like this. When faced with life-threatening situations, most people still care more about themselves.

In an instant, the bustling streets with heavy traffic suddenly turned into hell, with wailing everywhere and blood flowing like a river.

Moreover, such scenes do not only appear in this place.

The "Cult of All Things" obviously had this planned in advance. They released zombies in every district of East City in order to completely mess up the country.
