#161 - Chapter 161: The Dao and Righteousness in My Heart, Shocked by the Bad News

Li Ergou was surprised to see that the people who came were actually a group from the academy, led by a familiar face, Ye Wanwan.

“It's you, why are you here?”

Li Ergou was a little curious. Yesterday, the county sheriff said to let everyone go to the academy to recruit people, but Li Ergou was not interested at all. He only felt that those guys, although they had some skills, were flowers in a greenhouse. Showing off might be okay, but if it came to fighting, they would need to be tempered.

The last time these guys were caught and the entire army was wiped out was enough to explain everything.

Ye Wanwan said with a smile, “The academy's Headmaster Liu (Dean) encouraged us to come out. After all, we students are all cultivators with divine powers, so we should be stronger than ordinary people.

This is not only a good opportunity for practical combat, but we also cannot fail to participate in matters of national righteousness.

Headmaster Liu said that at this moment, countless people are suffering and being slaughtered. Although the road ahead is full of dangers, we students should fight for the Dao and righteousness in our hearts, even if it means facing thousands of people.

So we came, and we didn't expect to meet you first. Why don't you just take us in?”

The people behind Ye Wanwan echoed her.

Li Ergou couldn't help but be moved by Ye Wanwan's words. Putting aside everything else, the passion of these students was touching enough.

He looked at Ye Wanwan, who had brought a total of seven people, including herself, five men and two women. This was a considerable force.

And if these people were to follow him to kill zombies, the benefits would fall on him. Such freeloading was simply too good to be true, so he said without hesitation, “Okay, since you trust me so much, let's go together.”

The seven cheered. Another girl whispered to Ye Wanwan, “Wanwan, is he the Ergou-ge you mentioned? He looks so ordinary. Is he really as amazing as you said?”

Ye Wanwan chuckled and said, “Meimei, you can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bushel. It's useless for a man to be handsome; they're just pretty vases. No matter how good-looking a vase is, you'll get tired of it after a while.

We still have to look at his abilities. Abilities represent a man's charm. You're still young, you don't understand. It won't be long before you discover Ergou-ge's unique qualities.”

Although Ye Wanwan said this, when she looked at Li Ergou, she didn't know why, but she felt that this guy seemed a little bit more handsome than before.

Meimei felt enlightened. She didn't know there was such a saying. But Ye Wanwan wouldn't lie to her, would she? She wanted to see what kind of charm a powerful man had. With that thought, she glanced at the handsome Jin Chenxuan, who was traveling with them, determined to make a comparison today.

Li Ergou was about to set off with everyone when he suddenly remembered something. He turned to ask Xiwa, “Have Second Uncle and the others come over?”

When Xiwa heard that Li Ergou was still concerned about his parents, he was immediately happy and said, “When I heard you talk about the zombies, I realized that something might be wrong, so I took them over in advance. They're all at my house now. I didn't dare to tell you.”

Li Ergou was speechless, but Xiwa's mind was really bright.

He then looked at the boys from Wanglong Village and asked if the villagers from Wanglong Village had come over.

The boys from Wanglong Village hesitated for a moment, and their faces began to look ugly.

Finally, Tiedan opened his mouth and said, “Yesterday, a few people escaped. They were Jiu Mengzi and Er Aizi's families. They said that Wanglong Village was gone. Those old people couldn't outrun the zombies. Grandpa Lao Mantou is also dead.

But he left a message, telling everyone not to rush back impulsively, to follow Ergou-ge and work hard, and kill more white-haired zombies to avenge them.

We didn't dare to tell you, for fear of affecting your mood, Gou-ge. This time, we must kill all those guys to relieve the hatred in our hearts and comfort the spirits of the villagers of Wanglong Village in heaven.”

Hearing this bad news, a faint sadness flashed in Li Ergou's heart. After all, not all the people in Wanglong Village were bad people. They were just the most ordinary villagers, a cross-section of society.

Some were not good to him, but there were also some who were good to him, such as Lao Mantou, Third Granny, Liu Dagu, and Zhang Dajie. But now, perhaps he would never see them again. Having become accustomed to too much life and death, Li Ergou could only mourn them slightly in his heart.

He looked at everyone and sighed, “Forget it, life and death are predestined. The dead are already dead, and the living must continue to live. You're right, the dead cannot be brought back to life, but we can take revenge. Brothers, let's go.”

With a wave of his hand, the boys from Wanglong Village became excited and closely followed Li Ergou.

Thus, Li Ergou led a group of forty or fifty people, galloping towards the city gate. When he arrived at the city gate, Li Ergou saw that people were still coming to Kushui County from time to time.

He grabbed someone and asked, and learned that the zombies were not far from Kushui County. There was a group of zombies seven or eight miles ahead, coming quickly. Hearing this news, Li Ergou did not hesitate and led everyone towards that direction.

The Moon Rabbit Horse was very fast. Black Cat, Black Beard, and Chicken King were not left behind at all. Everyone went quickly, and in less than half an hour, they saw a large group of two or three hundred zombies coming towards Kushui County.

Li Ergou jumped off his horse, pulled out the Lengque Blade from his waist, and shouted loudly, “Brothers, the work is here! Charge with me and kill these damn guys!”

Hearing this, everyone followed suit and pulled out the knives from their waists. With Li Ergou's shout, they charged towards the zombies.

Chicken King was very excited at the moment, running quickly. Its speed was much faster than Li Ergou and the others. It came to the front of the zombie horde, waved its wings, and instantly blew the zombies in front of it back and forth. Then, it stretched out its sharp and huge claws, and crushed the zombies into a meat paste with one claw.

The zombie's head exploded under the Chicken King's beak like a watermelon. Chicken King's methods were cruel, but it quickly killed the zombies as if it were cleaning up insects.

Looking at Black Cat, it was extremely agile. Its sharp claws cut off the heads of the white-haired zombies one by one, and its smooth movements were seamless.

Black Beard ran wildly, like a mad bull, ramming and tearing all the way. Wherever it passed, zombies fell to the ground, and then it would bite off their heads in one bite. This guy would also spit out a mouthful of black gas from time to time. That black gas was strange, and the zombies would fall into a coma after being contaminated, which was extremely domineering.

Mei'er followed Li Ergou, occasionally casting a spell to help Li Ergou block the zombies' sneak attacks.

Behind Li Ergou was another woman, Ye Wanwan. This guy held a large bow and kept drawing and shooting arrows. Each arrow would accurately penetrate the zombie's forehead, directly nailing them there.

This woman could really be called a female archer. Her arrows never missed. Seeing her so powerful, Li Ergou couldn't help but give her fifty arrows with runes. These arrows could kill green-scaled zombies and were very powerful. Li Ergou only had two hundred of them in total, and they were very expensive.

Ye Wanwan was naturally very happy, and a subtle look flashed in her eyes as she looked at Li Ergou.

As for Big White Elephant, Xiwa and the others were fighting side by side with the boys from Wanglong Village. With the experience of the last battle, the boys from Wanglong Village were even more powerful this time.

Just as everyone was fighting hard, a figure suddenly rushed forward from the front, the speed was appalling.
