Chapter #68. The Zombie Plague (6)A Different SituationRain poured down on the Moon City that evening, and the rain caused the hundreds of human corpses to emit a pungent odor that offended everyone's nostrils.General Guan Feng had intentionally refrained from ordering the soldiers to move the bodies, fearing that the soldiers might contract the disease from the fully deceased undead.Tian Fan's face lit up with the current rain. His eyes remained fixed on the sprawled undead bodies lying dead in front of the Moon City's fortifications.Tian Fan immediately cleaned his hands, which were dirty from handling the internal organs of the undead, using his fire-based qi. His eyes gleamed brightly as his fire qi burned away all the black blood that clung to his hands.After thoroughly cleaning his hands, Tian Fan returned to the waiting group."Your face seems so elated. Have you found something related to these undead? If you have, please share it with us," Elder Yelu said impatiently."
Chapter #69. The Zombie Plague (7)It Turns Out...With one swift swing of his sword, Tian Fan beheaded several undead around him, causing their heads to fall to the ground, black blood spurting from the severed necks.Thousands of undead kept pouring in, pressing upon the entire army and cultivators outside the fortress.Rumble, rumble!The thunderous sound reverberated through the sky as dark clouds began to gather above Moon City. The sudden thunder rumbled, causing the undead to halt their attack and stand still in their tracks.After two breaths, thousands of undead turned and ran back into the forest, while those in the city scattered aimlessly. The undead ran instinctively.Observing this, Tian Fan immediately addressed everyone."Everyone, listen up! Do not allow the undead within the city to escape. Annihilate them! They are certainly seeking shelter in dark places. Don't be afraid; they won't resist. Hurry, don't waste this opportunity," Tian Fan said and then returned to Mo
Chapter #70. The Zombie Plague (8)Escape"It... my suspicion was correct," Tian Fan said, observing something emerging from the wound left by the undead's bite.Tian Fan saw that a dozen thread-like black worms, each as long as a finger, were coming out from the bite wound, shiny black in color.He quickly collected these worms in a cup and examined them closely.Next, Tian Fan pricked his finger and let his blood drip into the cup. The previously lifeless worms suddenly wriggled and began to absorb Tian Fan's blood from the cup.Tian Fan then started to think and speculate on how to kill these worms inside the bodies of those bitten.After a while, he assumed a lotus position and began meditating again. He contemplated various possibilities for healing those who were bitten and also those who had turned into undead.During his meditation, Tian Fan pondered and speculated on different predictions and experiments related to the purification of the pills he conducted unconsciously.Whi
Chapter #71. The Zombie Plague (9)Journey to Black Flower CityTian Fan and Tianzhi leaped through every tree branch, skillfully passing each branch rapidly, while hundreds of undead beneath them sensed their presence and continued chasing them from below.The deeper they entered the forest, the more undead followed them, and these undead became increasingly aggressive in pursuing Tian Fan and Tianzhi."These undead are indeed a nuisance," Tianzhi muttered, his hands itching to exterminate them all.Tian Fan shared the same sentiment. If it weren't for the urgency of reaching Black Flower City, he might have plunged into the crowd of undead beneath him.They both stopped on the last tree branch in the wind valley, with nothing but tall grass reaching their height. Countless undead lurked beneath them. Tian Fan furrowed his brows when he looked at the undead below."It seems like they are growing fiercer, and their sense of smell is becoming sharper. Could they be evolving every day?"
Chapter #72. The Zombie Plague (10)DiscoveryTian Fan entered Black Flower City, meticulously examining the conditions within. The city was eerily quiet and deserted, with only the stench of death and blood hanging heavily in the air.As he walked through the city and went over every inch of it, he didn't forget to burn the corpses he encountered along the way.For nearly three sticks of incense, Tian Fan searched and scoured the entirety of Black Flower City. Yet, he hadn't found any meaningful clues that could help him obtain the ingredients for the antidote for the undead."Ah, why did I forget such a trivial thing? The person who can create the antidote must be an alchemist, and whoever can hire or command an alchemist must be a person of wealth.""I should start searching from the residences of the city's elite. Maybe there are useful clues, and even if I don't find anything, I'll surely acquire something good there. Perhaps I can find unattended treasures," he mumbled to himsel
Chapter #73. The Zombie Plague (11)Fighting a Fellow Disciple!?Tian Fan placed the undead with chains on its limbs into his storage pouch, intending to use it for his research on finding a cure for the still salvageable undead.After storing the undead, Tian Fan returned to the city leader's house to check on the two undead killed by the chained one earlier.Tian Fan examined both of the corpses carefully."It seems like this one is the city leader's corpse.""And I'm confident this other one was an alchemist; the scent of herbal plants still clings to his body," Tian Fan mumbled softly.Tian Fan promptly checked the bodies and collected items that could serve as clues.From the city leader's corpse, Tian Fan took a badge, the city leader's token, and his storage ring. He also inspected the contents of the city leader's storage ring."Hmm... quite a bit of gold coins and valuable items in his storage ring," Tian Fan said with delight.Then Tian Fan turned to the other corpse, an ass
Chapter #74. The Zombie Plague (12)The EndTian Fan focused on his alchemical furnace. Having identified the plant used to make the potion that could resurrect the dead, he was now trying to create a counteracting potion. He hoped his medicinal pills could provide a path to healing those affected by the undead bites.Tian Fan made many pills throughout this day, while waiting for Tianzhi to recover.After six sticks of incense, they both completed their tasks, and they agreed to return to the Wind City."Senior, how are you now? Are you feeling better?" Tian Fan asked Tianzhi."Yes, I am truly better. I just didn't appreciate your jokes earlier," he replied, still a bit annoyed."Haha... I'm sorry, senior, if my joke went too far," Tian Fan said, feeling a little uncomfortable with his senior."Never mind, don't worry about it. I was just kidding. Young Fan, I owe you a debt, and I will repay it one day. By the way, just call me 'brother' (older brother). The title of 'senior' doesn'
Chapter #75. Am I That Popular?In a matter of days, with the tactics and strategies led by General Guan Feng and the pills created by Tian Fan, most of the undead that could be saved were successfully healed. The rest were incinerated by General Guan Feng's Red Dragon Corps and the cultivators of the Moon Sect and Star Sect under the leadership of Sect Master Shaosheng.Tian Fan's modified explosive pills made it easier for the Red Dragon Corps and the disciples of the Moon and Star Sects to destroy the unrecoverable undead.The operation was an absolute success, achieving a 100 percent success rate with a 0 percent fatality rate."Master Fan, this is a blessing for the Han Kingdom and all its people, thanks to your significant contribution. I have reported our military operation's great achievements to King Han Fu," General Guan Feng said."Elder Yelu and all the others, King Han Fu has given me the order to escort you back to the capital today. Please prepare to return," General Gu
