Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When the few people on patrol heard this, they were all dumbfounded. Just now, the High Priest said that he would let them go. Why did he want to capture them again?
Ji Zan also took this opportunity to shout, “Hurry up and leave!”
Seeing Ji Zan, Professor Feng and the others had a direction and immediately headed into the forest.
The high priest was furious. “Hurry! Chase after them!! A bunch of idiots…” As he spoke, he reached out to grab MO Cheng, who was the closest to him, but he was kicked away by Ji Zan.
The High Priest noticed that Ji Zan was not weak, and his face turned extremely gloomy.”l know you have special ability users, but unfortunately, your abilities can’t be used here!”
“So you’re the one who can suppress other people’s abilities?” Ji Zan raised his eyebrows. Even if we can’t use our abilities, you’re still being controlled.”
Thinking of the abnormality in his body, the high priest gritted his teeth. “So what? Now that I can control my body, your abilities are useless. What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and arrest them! Without them, I’ll use you to worship the heavens! “After saying that, he rushed towards Ji Zan. It was obvious that the High Priest still had some skills.
The people on patrol finally reacted. They did not want to be sacrificed to the heavens! He quickly rushed out to catch them.
Fu Shinan had already returned to her body. Seeing that someone had grabbed Man Yu, she picked up a stone and smashed it at the person’s head.
The man let go of Man Yu temporarily because of the pain.
Wei Xinyi and Shui Ling ‘er didn’t stay idle either. They picked up everything they could use and went all out against these people. As for the others, they naturally joined the battle. No one wanted to be sacrificed. However, no one could use their superpowers. The older ones, like Professor Feng, could only dodge. The younger ones, like MO Cheng, used all kinds of methods, such as scratching, biting, and pulling hair.
These people never expected these people to be so aggressive out of the sudden. They were clearly still so weak yesterday! What they didn’t know was that they had disguised themselves as zombies yesterday. Although it had been a while since the apocalypse, everyone still subconsciously feared zombies. They didn’t want to fight unless they had no other choice. After all, zombies didn’t feel pain and weren’t easy to kill. Moreover, zombies had a virus. If they were not careful, even a scratch could infect them and turn them into zombies. However, it was different. They were all humans. Why should they be bullied?
Everyone naturally began to counterattack.
On the other side, Ji Zan and the High Priest were almost done fighting. Although the High Priest had some combat power, he was still far from Ji Zan’s martial arts skills.
The High Priest was even more shocked. Who is this person? The toughness of his skin and flesh had already snrnassed his linderstanding of humans- No
matter who hit who, why was he the only one in pain? At this moment, his right leg was kicked, and a crisp bone-cracking sound was heard! Then, he couldn’t care less and turned to run.
Ji Zan was about to chase after him, but he realized that there was a gust of wind under the guy’s feet. No wonder he could still run with his legs broken. So this guy has two special abilities? Because of the High Priest’s suppression ability, Ji Zan didn’t continue to chase them. He quickly went to find Fu Shinan and the others.
He saw a few patrolmen lying on the ground in a mess. Fu Shinan and the others stood beside them. “Not bad,” he praised generously. Then, he grabbed an older man and said coldly, “Why are you pretending to be a zombie?”
The man twisted his neck and said in a thick accent,”We don’t know what zombie you’re talking about…’
Xia Dong was caught by him last night. Now, he was furious when he saw him. He scolded him with a vicious expression, “F * ck, if you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you! I’m telling you, I’m not someone to be trifled with!”
When the man saw that Xia Dong was about to hit him, he was a little afraid.
The main reason was that he did not want to be beaten up, but he really did not know. He could only continue speaking in broken language, “I really don’t know what zombie you’re talking about! A month ago, the High Priest suddenly appeared here and said that our race was cursed. He also said that only by devoutly worshipping him would the curse disappear. In the beginning, we didn’t believe it either. However, after those villagers who ventured out returned, they became irrational. We could only listen to the High Priest and clean up the houses. Then, we left behind some rice and waited for people to take the bait before capturing them for sacrifice.”
Man Yu could not help but curse, “You guys are really idiots… It was the end of the world, so how could there be a curse? Those people were infected by the virus and turned into zombies! You haven’t even watched zombie movies, have you?”
Everyone shook their heads in confusion.
Man Yu was speechless for a moment before she said to Fu Shinan,”ln modern society, there are actually people who don’t know about zombies?”
“Let’s not talk about this. What’s with that girl in the middle of the altar?” Fu Shinan asked again.
‘ She’s the Saintess chosen by the High Priest,” the man said. “After the ceremony, she’ll serve the High Priest for eternity! The sacrifice will be you guys…”
Man Yu couldn’t help but curse, “It’s you who are going to end up being the sacrificial offerings! That High Priest was a liar.”
Hearing this, someone immediately retorted,”The High Priest is not a liar. He is the One Chosen by Heaven! He can control wind and fire. He is a servant of
God, sent by God to save us!”
“There’s no hope.” Man Yu did not want to speak anymore. This place was probably a village that was isolated from the world in the past.
Fu Shinan frowned. At that time, she was busy saving everyone and did not bring the girl out. If the girl went back..
Ji Zan also thought of this and couldn’t help but glance at Fu Shinan.
“Brother Ji, how should we deal with these people?” MO Cheng asked. “After experiencing so much, he was no longer a brainless young man. His eyes were cold. When he said to deal with it, he meant to kill!
Professor Feng immediately said,” Don’t! They’re innocent too. They’ve been deceived. They don’t know what’s going on outside! Even if we wanted to deal with them, we should deal with the High Priest.”
At this moment, a sound of the horn suddenly echoed from afar.
Joy flashed across the faces of the people who were caught.
Fu Shinan saw that their expressions were not right and immediately said, “They’re here to save them. What should we do?”
“Let’s leave this place first.” Ji Zan said and walked towards the misty forest, ignoring the people who were captured. He said, “Everyone, hold hands. Don’t let go. You might see the people around you become different things in the misty forest, but don’t let go. It’s all an illusion!”
Everyone quickly held hands. Xiao Chang ‘an was still leading the way, directing everyone in which direction to go. However, when Xia Dong and MO Cheng left, they still brought along a group of people. After all, they hadn’t fully understood the situation. Who knew what other tricks this High Priest had up his sleeve?
Because Xiao Chang ‘an had a good memory, everyone was on guard again. This time, they went out very quickly.
Fu Shinan said to Ji Zan,” They should catch up soon. Let’s go back to the house we used to live in. I’ve strengthened it before. They’re not zombies. The house would be able to resist their attacks.”
“Alright.”
Now that the car was out of gas, it was impossible to leave. This was the only way.
After everyone returned, Xia Dong began to interrogate them about where they were and who they were…
After half an hour of ‘friendly communication’, they finally understood that this was really an isolated tribe called the Long Sky Race. They never came into contact with outsiders and formed their own system. They used to live here, and with the fog as a natural barrier, it was difficult for outsiders to find this place. They had been living such a self-sufficient life. Who would have thought that a month ago, the fog would suddenly shrink. They panicked and retreated to the canyon behind the fog.
A young man went out to check, but when he came back, he lost his rationality and bit everyone he saw. The villagers did not know what was going on, so they could only follow the rules and burn these people to death. Then, the High Priest appeared! He told them about the curse and asked them to choose a saintess every seven days to serve the gods with him. They also had to capture some outsiders to worship the gods in order to make the gods take back the curse.
Before them, these people had already captured a few batches of people. They were all dismembered by the high priest and then thrown into the big pot to be boiled.
Fu Shinan felt a chill run down her spine when she heard this. Thinking back to the book on the human body structure, there was indeed something wrong with this high priest. Was he using the facade of the curse to study the human body?
Man Yu shivered and cursed at him for being stupid. She then picked up her notebook and started memorizing. These were all good material for writing. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have dared to imagine that such a thing would happen in this era.
However, before she could finish writing, she heard footsteps coming from outside.
An old man with white eyebrows held a torch and shouted in broken english,”Hurry up and hand over the person, or I’ll set fire to you.”
Fu Shinan couldn’t help but curse at them for being despicable. Then, she saw many people with dark grey faces walking into the yard expressionlessly. If she didn’t know that, it would be hard to tell if they were zombies or not. Ji Zan looked at Fu Shinan and asked, “Can your defense block the fire?” Fu Shinan checked and frowned..”Fire is fine, but it can’t stop the smoke!”
