Chapter 902: The Putrid Odor Once More
“Yes, Boss! Whether or not that thing exists, if it comes, we’ll kill it!” Yang Mu and the others were eager to give it a try.
Qi Zhenbai, on the other hand, thought of how his father-in-law had almost been bitten last night. They had underestimated the people infected with corpse poison, and because of that, they hadn’t been vigilant enough against them.
Now, seeing how this group of people didn’t think much of the “living dead,” he lectured them and told them not to let their guard down. As soon as they saw that something wasn’t right, they were to notify him immediately.
“Got it, Boss!”
“Boss, no matter how powerful that thing is, you have to believe in the strength of our Cheetah Corps!” As soon as Tan Yecheng finished speaking, his boss stared at him with black, sharp eyes. He immediately quivered and hurriedly said, “Boss, I understand! I definitely won’t let my guard down!”
Five minutes later, everyone arrived at the nearby county town. The town wasn’t big. After the biting incidents, the number of people out and about during the day had decreased drastically.
The town had a lot of side roads. Qi Zhenbai had brought five elite Cheetahs this time: Yan Youwei, Yang Mu, Tan Yecheng, Xiong Tianning, and Li Tian’an.
They split into two teams and patrolled the streets. As soon as they saw anyone acting strangely, they were to report it immediately.
“Yes, Boss!”
The Cheetah Corps had always been very cautious and serious when it came to missions.
It was just that very few people in the military had ever seen something supernatural like the living dead. Yan Youwei and the others had only heard of them, but had yet to see one.
At first, they listened to their boss and took this matter seriously. However, after patrolling a few streets until 3pm, they still didn’t see anything. Yan Youwei, Yang Mu and Tan Yecheng couldn’t help but wonder if the “vampires” and “living dead” biting people was real or just a rumor.
They naturally believed whatever their boss had said before, but now that they didn’t see anything strange, Tan Yecheng, Yan Youwei and Yang Mu couldn’t help but slack off a little.
Tan Yecheng couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, are we sure Boss hasn’t been fooled? I feel that after so many years, he’s changed a lot. If someone had given Boss some yellow talismans back then, he would have locked them up for believing in feudal superst.i.tions. Now, he’s found us a superst.i.tious sister-in-law. I snuck a few glances just now; not only is she much younger than Boss, she’s really good-looking!”
Because Qi Zhenbai wasn’t here at the moment, Tan Yecheng started gossiping with Yan Youwei and Yang Mu next to him.
Yan Youwei sternly told him not to concern himself with gossip about Boss; it would be tragic if he was caught red-handed by Boss later.
Yang Mu, on the other hand, couldn’t help but agree. “I also think that Boss has really changed a lot… Old Yan, Old Tan, do you think the living dead really exists, like what Boss said? I did hear about what happened in the military district recently!”
Without waiting for Yan Youwei to speak, Tan Yecheng said, “I thought so earlier, but now, I reckon it’s possible Boss might have been duped.”
As he spoke, Tan Yecheng suddenly took out the yellow paper talisman which his sister-in-law had given him earlier and said, “Boss now even believes in this thing and likes a superst.i.tious sister-in-law!” After pausing for a moment, Tan Yecheng was going to say more, but he caught a whiff of a strange putrid odor.. He suddenly said to Yan Youwei and Yang Mu, “What’s that smell? Old Yan, Old Yang, do you smell something rotten?”
