Corpse: I am a Zombie

"Alright, let's stop and rest for a bit!"

After jumping out of the encirclement, Xiang Anjie caught up to A Xiang and in a short while. The three of them ran for another half an hour before Xiang Anjie finally stopped and said.

With his stamina, even if he ran for a few more hours, it would not be a problem. The problem was that behind him, A Xiang and Mao Xiaoting were already exhausted.

Ever since they had eaten some food this morning, the two of them had basically not eaten an ounce of rice. Furthermore, after running on the mountain for so long, their stamina had long been completely used up. This also caused the two of them to be breathless for half a day while lying beside the tree.

Seeing the two of them gasping for breath, Xiang Anjie could not help but frown. Right now, the three of them no longer had any weapons, and the other side still had a total of eight armed men, including the two evil Descending Division.

But the problem that Xiang Anjie needed to worry about right now was not what he should do after encountering those people. What he needed to worry about was the three of them … More accurately, it was about how Mao Xiaoting and A Xiang should spend the night!

They had been delayed on the mountain for such a long time, and the sky started to gradually darken, just as night was about to fall, they had yet to find a suitable place to stay, nor find any food or water to ensure their stamina. When it was midnight, Mao Xiaoting and A Xiang would definitely not be able to withstand the cold night in a state of hunger and thirst, and things would become troublesome.

Thus, the most urgent matter now was to find a place to rest and food so that the two of them could properly replenish their physical strength.

Thinking of this, Xiang Anjie looked at the two women who had calmed down and said, "It's almost dark, we need to find a place to stay. How about this, the two of you stay here for now. I'll go look around and see if I can find a cave for us to rest in. "

"A cave? Can't we just set up camp here? "

Maybe because her body was too tired and weak, Mao Xiaoting asked weakly.

Xiang Anjie shook his head: "If we want to pass this night safely, we need to light a fire. But if we are in a wild environment, once I light a fire, we will be discovered by those fellows, so we need to find a cave where we can hide, and this way, not only can we avoid these fellows from starting a fire, it can also provide us with protection against the cold."

"Alright then …"

Hearing that, Mao Xiaoting nodded, causing A Xiang to become curious: "Big Brother Xiang, you sure know a lot! Did you also learn these when you were an Eighth Route Army soldier? "

"No!"

Xiang Anjie smiled lightly and shook his head: "I saw it on Master Bei's survival program in the wilderness."

With that, he turned and left.

After Xiang Anjie left, the two ladies found a place to hide.

Although resting could recover a certain amount of physical strength, without food and water, it was destined that they wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

After sitting down for a while, their stomachs started growling one after another.

Normally, the two women would smile embarrassedly. But now, the rumbling sounds coming from their stomachs were like a death knell, indicating that their limits were slowly approaching.

"I'm sorry …"

Just then, A Xiang suddenly said.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Mao Xiaoting was startled: "What's wrong?"

"It's all my fault."

A Xiang's face revealed a hint of guilt, "In the end, Suo Yin's matter was due to me, which is why he caused all of you to be implicated."

"Don't say that, how can you blame such a thing? "Your decision is also correct, for scumbags like him, we can't satisfy their demands. For those who forget their ancestors and serve their American father all day long, even without seeing what contribution they have made to our country, they would only ask for it. If it was me, I would not have agreed to that guy's request and would have even slapped him!"

Mao Xiaoting said with a serious face.

A Xiang laughed, but then the smile turned into sadness: "What did you say? Will we die this time? "

It was obvious that the power of the two Descending Division s from before, their Gu Mantong and the mercenaries had given A Xiang a lot of pressure. She had already lost her confidence from before and felt that this mountain might very well be their burial ground.

But Mao Xiaoting did not agree with that, "What are you talking about? How could we have died here with such a small problem? "I tell you, never give up hope, and at the same time don't let difficulties scare you off."

Seeing Mao Xiaoting's confident look, A Xiang was stunned. "How can you still be so calm at a time like this? Are you really not afraid of death? "

"Of course I'm afraid of death …"

Hearing this question, Mao Xiaoting's gaze and tone softened by quite a bit. "But I know that I won't die, just like how I experienced before. As long as he's here, all of the difficulties will be easily solved …"

"Him?!"

Hearing that, A Xiang was startled.

Just at this moment, Xiang Anjie's voice sounded from the side: "How long do you two want to wait here in the grass?"

When they raised their heads, they realised that Xiang Anjie had already returned, and immediately stood up. "We were waiting for you! How about it? Have you found a suitable cave? "

Xiang Anjie nodded his head: "It's not too far away, it can accommodate the three of us."

Just like this, under Xiang Anjie's lead, Mao Xiaoting and A Xiang walked for around three minutes before finally finding a cave with a diameter of more than two meters beside a tree that was as thick as a person on the hillside.

"Aiyo, this cave is really big!"

Seeing this cave, Mao Xiaoting could not help but exclaim.

But A Xiang was a little surprised, "I remember … In the mountains here, such a large cave like this is often used as a lair by some animals, don't you see? "

"Of course I saw it. Isn't this beneath your feet?"

Hearing this, Xiang Anjie pointed at the three of them.

Mao Xiaoting and A Xiang looked towards the corner of the cave where it was pointing and were immediately shocked.

He saw a two meter long python that was as thick as an adult's arm. It was covered with patterns on its body. Judging from the blood stains on the ground, the python must have died not long ago.

"Ugh …" Isn't this an Asian rock python? "I remember this seems to be a national level animal protection program..." Seeing this, A Xiang's mouth twitched as he looked towards Xiang Anjie. After all, they were from the local Miao Village, and the worship towards all living things in the world was deeply rooted in their hearts. Furthermore, the local volunteers would often enter the Miao Village to disseminate laws and regulations on the protection of wild animals, so even though there were a lot of types and numbers of wild animals, there were very few who would take the initiative to kill these natural spirits.

But now, a guardian animal of the country level had died in front of her eyes just like this, which made it hard for her to accept.

"Enough!"

However, Xiang Anjie seemed to not care at all, "At a time like this, there's no need to pay attention to anything else. Humans' survival is built on hurting other living beings, if this snake doesn't die, then the one who dies is very likely to be you guys. After all, this is the only food you can eat tonight."

"You want us to eat snake meat?"

Seeing the python on the ground, Mao Xiaoting frowned.

"Whether you want to eat or not will depend on you. In any case, I'm a zombie, so it's not a problem to not eat for 10 days or half a month. However, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so."

With that, Xiang Anjie looked around the cave: "I'm going out to look for something else. You guys can stay here to have a good rest first."

With that, Xiang Anjie once again left the place.

As for A Xiang and Mao Xiaoting, they looked at each other, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although they refused in their hearts, the two of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and their mouths were parched from thirst.

Especially Mao Xiaoting, at this moment, she was even more dizzy and weak, as she felt that she could faint at any moment.

Thus, she steeled her heart and gritted her teeth: "When Master Bei is in the wilderness, he even eats maggots. Why can't the snake meat eat them? In a while, when we start a fire, I will definitely have a good and proper meal of roasted snake meat! "

After A Xiang heard this, she laughed and leaned against the cave wall and closed her eyes. It could be seen that she was extremely tired.

About ten minutes later, Xiang Anjie returned to the cave. On his back was a large pile of dried wood, and on his waist was a circle of fresh bamboo. In his hands, he was holding two fishes.

"Alright, there's hope for tonight's meal!"

With that, Xiang Anjie put everything down.

"Uh, I don't want to eat right now, I just want to drink some water …"

Mao Xiaoting opened her eyes, a little exhausted.

"Hmph, don't worry, I've found the water for you!"

Saying that, Xiang Anjie took out the bamboo tubes from his body: "Look at what this is?"

Receiving the bamboo tube from Xiang Anjie's hands, Mao Xiaoting and A Xiang's eyes immediately lit up.

This was because the contents of the bamboo tube were so clear that the bottom could be seen!

"Great, it's water!"

At this moment, their originally dull eyes were once again brimming with energy and vitality. Without any further hesitation, they began to gulp down the water in the bamboo tube.

"Alright, don't worry, I found a spring nearby. It's enough for you guys to drink. When we start a fire and roast the food, you guys will be able to eat!"

After hearing Xiang Anjie's words, Mao Xiaoting, who had already finished drinking all the water inside the bamboo tube, wiped her mouth. "Light fire, how do we start a fire? Did you bring a lighter? "

"Nope."

Xiang Anjie shook his head: "I don't smoke, the lighter was all in that bag before. I intend to use the older method of drilling wood for fire. "

"Ha ha!"

Hearing that, Mao Xiaoting immediately laughed complacently: Now is the time to show my importance?

"What is it? Big Sister Xiao Ting, you're wearing a lighter? "

Hearing that, A Xiang immediately asked.

"Tsk, why would I use that when I start a fire? I'll show you something! "

Saying that, Mao Xiaoting suddenly put down the bamboo tube in her hand: Hurry and prepare the firewood!

Xiang Anjie nodded his head, and immediately placed a few pieces of wood into the hole in the cave.

Seeing this, Mao Xiaoting spread open his left hand, placed the right index finger next to her mouth, and gently bit it.

In an instant, fresh blood slowly flowed out from the wound on her index finger. She seized the opportunity and started writing on the palm of her left hand while dipping her index finger in fresh blood.

Not long later, a Blood Talisman appeared in Mao Xiaoting's palm.

"The heaven and earth are boundless, the heaven and earth are borrowing the magic, the order is as urgent as a law!"

Saying that, Mao Xiaoting's left hand turned, and a ball of flame immediately rose up in her hand.
