Zhang Wei answered the phone.
It was past one in the morning. If Lu Lianxue was calling him now, there must be something.
Indeed.
As soon as she spoke, Lu Lianxue's voice came through the phone.
"Huh, Zhang Wei, are you also watching The King's Avatar? Pfft, no, I'm calling you to ask if you told me today that you found someone raising corpses."
"After I finished talking to you, I reported the news."
"The department just sent me a message."
"The Weidao Division in your area has received the news and has just finished handling their current tasks."
"They are now sending two Eagle Guards over."
"They want to exorcise the ghost as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties, so they asked me to call you to see if you are free. If you are, they will rush over now to get information from you."
Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow.
The Weidao Division was quite efficient.
Lu Lianxue had told him before that the Weidao Division in the northeastern region had been very busy recently, having not rested for several consecutive months, all on missions to deal with ghosts and evil spirits.
And now, less than a day later.
The Weidao Division had managed to free up personnel to handle it.
Immediately.
Zhang Wei replied.
"That's great. I'm free now. Have them come over."
"Uncle Yu, please stop at that food stall ahead. I need to get off the car for something."
...
Daxing City.
It was one in the morning, but the night market in Daxing City was still lively, with the aroma of food stalls and barbecues wafting out intermittently.
After bidding farewell to Yu Weihong and the others.
Zhang Wei chose a barbecue restaurant with fewer people and sat down.
"Ah? You killed the zombie? So quickly?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Lianxue's expression was astonished as she listened to Zhang Wei recount the events of the night.
Based on Zhang Wei's description.
Even without seeing the zombie herself, Lu Lianxue could infer its strength.
Zombies cultivated through methods like 'Ink Dou Feng Guan, Tie Guan Ru Zang' were not comparable to ordinary zombies.
Seeing that the Weidao Division would arrive soon.
Zhang Wei felt awkward just sitting in the barbecue restaurant, so he got up to order some barbecue.
Placing a skewer of kidney on the plate:
"Yes, I killed it."
Lu Lianxue was stunned and couldn't help but ask:
"Zhang Wei, do you have a magical artifact to deal with zombies?"
Other ghost exorcists might only learn about the terrifying nature of zombies cultivated through 'Ink Dou Feng Guan, Tie Guan Ru Zang' from books.
But Lu Lianxue was different.
Her master had told her that she had personally witnessed how terrifying such zombies were.
When her master was ten years old.
Her master was taken down the mountain by an elder from Longhu Mountain to learn how to deal with ghosts.
It was on that occasion.
They happened to witness a zombie cultivated through 'Ink Dou Feng Guan, Tie Guan Ru Zang'.
Even after more than sixty years.
Her master would not forget.
That day.
The elder from Longhu Mountain took her master through a village called 'Fengmen Village'.
At that time, Fengmen Village had experienced a large-scale death. It was said that a zombie appeared, and overnight, everyone in the village was bitten, either dying on the spot or infected with zombie poison.
The scale was too large.
It alerted the local Weidao Division.
They were dispatched urgently to the scene and began to exorcise the zombie poison from the bitten villagers.
The horror of zombies was that even if they were not killed, they would be infected with zombie poison. If not treated promptly, the bitten person would mutate into a zombie within a few days.
However.
The situation was horrifying.
The local Weidao Division discovered that their usual methods for removing zombie poison were ineffective against the zombie poison of the bitten villagers, even after exhausting all means.
Moreover.
After being infected with zombie poison, the villagers mutated rapidly, turning into zombies within half a day, with an extremely fast infection rate.
Her master remembered clearly.
At that time, her elder recognized the zombie poison and informed the local Weidao Division that the zombie that appeared in Fengmen Village was no ordinary zombie, but the legendary 'Ink Dou Feng Guan, Tie Guan Ru Zang' zombie. Such zombies were powerful, and once bitten, the zombie poison could not be removed.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation.
The elder from Longhu Mountain could not stand by and participated in the讨伐 (tǎofá -讨伐) of the Fengmen Village zombie.
The local Weidao Division also urgently conscripted local ghost exorcising forces and freelance ghost exorcists to search and encircle the zombie together!
The reason was simple.
If the Fengmen Village zombie was not killed there, and if it were allowed to leave and head to other densely populated areas, the consequences would be unimaginable.
That night.
Nearly a hundred ghost exorcists, including many experts at the Tiger Guard level.
And an elder from Longhu Mountain, a master close to the Qilin Guard level.
However...
Tragedy still struck.
Although the Fengmen Village zombie was found that night.
But that zombie was too powerful. It had absorbed the blood of all the villagers and grown to a terrifying extent. Coupled with the zombie's unique tough hide and its zombie poison characteristics.
In the end.
After sacrificing a full ninety percent of the ghost exorcists.
Even the elder from Longhu Mountain sacrificed himself, being poisoned by the zombie and forced to take his own life on the spot.
Only then was that zombie suppressed.
That incident caused a sensation at the time and spread to various places.
Lu Lianxue remembered.
How terrified her master was every time she mentioned this matter.
According to her.
The zombie from Fengmen Village was still imprisoned and sealed at the headquarters of the Weidao Division.
"No, I killed the zombie with my strong arms, powerful fists, and sturdy legs, directly in close combat."
Zhang Wei said with a smile:
"By the way, class monitor, my waist strength is also very good."
Zhang Wei's last sentence.
Lu Lianxue didn't hear it at all. She was completely stunned, her mind blank.
After repeatedly confirming that Zhang Wei was not lying, Lu Lianxue was shocked.
After a long while.
Lu Lianxue finally came back to her senses and said:
"Zhang Wei, are you human? My heavens, don't you know how terrifying that zombie is? You actually fought it in close combat, are you tired of living?"
Afterward.
She told him what she knew.
Zhang Wei was surprised.
"So, the zombie I dealt with was very powerful?"
"Even if its strength cannot compare to the Fengmen Village zombie, it's like the difference between a Digimon's Ultimate form and its Baby form, but even the Baby form is terrifying."
Lu Lianxue was torn between laughter and tears.
She nodded in response:
"Although your analogy is ridiculous and makes me want to laugh, I have to tell you seriously, yes, zombies are terrifying. Don't do that again next time, it's too reckless. What if you get bitten?"
"Then you'll have no choice but to end yourself."
In response.
Zhang Wei touched his chin in realization.
"I didn't expect that. So I'm such an awesome existence? I thought I was still as weak as a chicken."
Zhang Wei sighed, feeling like he wasn't a C-class unlicensed knight, but a C-class Saitama.
At the same time.
He also understood.
"No wonder the Weidao Division came so quickly. Class monitor, does the Weidao Division also know about the zombie situation here?"
"Yes."
Lu Lianxue did not hide anything:
"The Weidao Division is taking it very seriously. Don't just look at the fact that only two Eagle Guards came."
"But their strength is not simple."
"Especially the young monk Wunian among them."
"He is the designated abbot of Mount Wutai. Umm, how to say it."
"Got it. In your words, Zhang Wei, young monk Wunian is incredibly powerful, definitely a novel protagonist."
