Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because Father Chi was in charge of this matter, when he heard that yet another person in a nearby village had been sucked dry of blood, he immediately led his men out of the military district to patrol the area.
Before Father Chi left, he repeatedly exhorted Chi Shuyan to be careful. However, seeing that Qi Zhenbai was accompanying his daughter, Father Chi wasn’t too worried.
After Father Chi left, Chi Shuyan didn’t have time to explain the matter to the man next to her. She first followed Father Wei to check the chickens that had been sucked dry of blood.
Qi Zhenbai went with them. His face was very grave when he heard about the living dead.
On the way, Father Wei took the initiative to tell Chief Qi about the past few days, and said to him, “Chief Qi, this matter is neither big nor small right now. In order to prevent panic, I…”
Qi Zhenbai’s face didn’t change and he said in a deep voice, “Uncle Wei, we’re all on the same side, and you’re not my subordinate. It’s fine if we just get along casually. Besides, you’re my elder. I might have something to ask of you in the future!”
Father Wei was aware that the man was speaking to him so nicely because of Old Chi and Yan Yan. The man was firm in his att.i.tude, and Chi Shuyan also echoed the sentiment that they were all on the same side.
Father Wei could only agree. Even then, he didn’t dare to take advantage of his status as an elder. He pursed his lips and smiled. “Okay, then I’ll trouble Yan Yan.”
If it wasn’t for the living dead, he would be really curious to know how Yan Yan got along with this Major General Qi.
They arrived at the place where the dead chickens had been isolated.
Chi Shuyan pushed the door open and smelled the strong scent of blood. She frowned. Next to her, Qi Zhenbai also frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes. When Chi Shuyan entered, she saw a pile of more than a dozen chickens. She took a closer look and confirmed that all of them had been sucked dry of blood. Her expression changed slightly.
At that moment, Father Wei asked worriedly, “Yan Yan, do you think that d*mn thing is hiding in the military? It’s chickens this time, but what if it’s human beings later?”
When Father Wei asked the question, Chi Shuyan stared seriously at the chickens. The more she looked, the more she frowned. Seeing that Yan Yan was looking at them seriously, Father Wei didn’t dare disturb her. Next to her, Qi Zhenbai also stared thoughtfully at these chickens.
After that, Father Wei asked, “Yan Yan, can these chickens be destroyed now? Are they infected with corpse poison?”
Before Chi Shuyan could speak, Qi Zhenbai suddenly said, “Looking at these chickens, it looks more like human bites!” Although he hadn’t seen with his own eyes the wounds left by the “living dead,” he had experienced a lot of things, and these did look more like human bites.
He had also noticed that some chickens had bite wounds on their necks while some didn’t have any wounds at all on their bodies. However, they had all been directly sucked dry of blood and were dead; how they had been sucked dry still needed to be investigated.
Father Wei subconsciously said, “Can it be that someone in the military has been infected with corpse poison again?”
Chi Shuyan opened her mouth at that moment and said, “Uncle Wei, I took a closer look at these chickens just now. None of them are infected with corpse poison, and these do look like human bites. There are also some that don’t have any wounds on them at all even though they’ve been sucked dry. These bites are different from those caused by the living dead. This should have nothing to do with the living dead!”
As soon as Chi Shuyan finished speaking, Father Wei’s pupils contracted. Speaking of which, he had been mentally and physically exhausted these past few days because of the living dead.. The more Father Wei thought about it, the more he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn’t help but ask, “Yan Yan, you didn’t see wrongly? These aren’t bites by the living dead or a person infected with corpse poison?”
