Little Taoist (1)

Cheng Pei’s method of controlling his subordinates was completely different from Zhang Kaiyi’s. Zhang Kaiyi was originally from a poor background, but he was able to suppress the people below him because of his strong power. Cheng Pei was more powerful than him, but he liked to use a gentle way. He was not young, although the awakening of his ability made him look younger. His wife, who was actually several years younger than him, now looked several years older than him, but she had a different experience than these young people. Because she taught archery at a club, she was good at dealing with people. She was not as sharp as his arrows.

  

  So when Shen Chi came to Cheng Pei’s territory, he was like an invisible person. No one said anything as well. They really believed in Cheng Pei. Such men are undoubtedly more difficult to buy.

  

  Because of Cheng Pei’s orders, those people were good to Shen Chi, Shen Liu Mu and especially the shy little Ji Jia with a beautiful smile. Of course, except for Shen Chi, no one noticed that the puppet in Ji Jia’s arms had a pair of eyes that belonged to a human.

  

  Cheng Pei did not live in the central area of Jiading. Instead, he lived in a golf club in Jiading, which was quite far from the centre of Shanghai, but much closer to Taicang. It shows Cheng Pei’s determination to go north. The golf course is actually a very good place to relax- a wide, comfortable, quiet, large space with a vast view. In this city, full of zombies in the end of the world, the golf club turned into a different kind of peach blossom spring. The design of this golf course was very exquisite and detail-oriented. There were mountains and water, scattered villas, a special water storage room and an independent backup power generation room in the senior clubhouse to ensure the comfort of at least a small group of people. Even when the weather was cold enough to wither all the plants, the scenery here was still not bad.

  

  Shen Chi also wanted to go north. He remembered that the place where the first B-class zombie appeared was not too far from here. He didn’t have much time. Early human evolution was relatively slow. Zombies were the same. Now, six months later, a very small number of zombies began to change. Ordinary zombies don’t have intelligence. They only attack by instinct. They are slow and like to eat raw meat. They don’t have many advantages except great strength. However, class B zombies have intelligence and their speed is not comparable to ordinary zombies. They are much better than ordinary zombies in every aspect.

  

  If he remembers correctly, the first B-class zombie appeared in a nearby county in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, which is known as the hometown of longevity. He heard it was related to the rich selenium elements in the local soil and water, so the soil and water there not only nourished people but also nourished zombies in the apocalypse. The first few B-class zombies all appeared in one place. Fortunately, that place was not far from Shanghai. If in peacetime, it will only take a few hours to drive there.

  

  However, before that, he wanted to go to the seaside once.

  

 ”Jia Jia’s mother wanted to send her to a place on the Bund,” Shen Chi told Cheng Pei, “It’s full of zombies now, and she can’t enter, but she also has an uncle who lives in Chongming. I want to take her there.”

  

 Cheng Pei sighed, “Xiao Shen, you are too kind. Jia Jia is a good and obedient child. It’s also her luck that she ran into you. Do you need me to send someone to accompany you? This journey is not expected to be peaceful.”

  

 ”No, brother Cheng, just give me a car. I can still protect my two children. I should be back in a week, even if I can’t find that person. ” Shen Chi said sincerely.

  

  Cheng Pei nodded, “That’s good. We’ll go north in half a month. After you come back, we will be ready to leave.”

  

 

  ”Okay.”

  

  Cheng Pei was very generous. He gave Shen Chi a Land Rover. But in this era, good cars are not good. Many people can’t exchange a good car for a bag of rice. If there is no petrol, what’s the use of having a car?

  After putting in enough petrol, Shen Chi drove down the road in the direction of the grain and oil warehouse pointed out by Ji Jia. He waited until the door was opened, only to find that this place was bigger than he thought!

  

 ”Huh, there seems to be a lot more stuff.” Ji Jia stood in the doorway, holding the puppet.

  

  Shen Chi looked at it. He didn’t need to think about it. It must have been put by Zhang Kaiyi. It was a remote place and hard to find. It was really a good place to hide things. The game backpack can not hold so many things. In the end, he just took a large bag of rice noodles and threw them into the backpack. Then he put two very large oil and soy sauce barrels with faucets in the warehouse into the backpack. Fortunately, eggs and salted duck eggs are stackable. However, there were only 200 compartments. The eggs alone filled seven compartments, a total of 1400 eggs and 400 salted duck eggs. The things in his game backpack will never break. Unfortunately, his backpack is only this big. Instead, all the seasoning in the warehouse was swept away and wrapped into a large piece of canvas. After the end of the world, in a few years, these things were more expensive than rice and noodles! Most of the land was contaminated. The limited land was mostly used to grow things like sweet potatoes, peanuts, rice and wheat. If you can’t eat enough, who still has the heart to grow other things? Of course, the seasoning was sharply reduced.

  

  After the end of the world, it seems that except for the very first week in the playground; they were being raised by someone. They simply did not care much about food. Shen Chi also did not make food for Liu Mu.

  

 In fact, at this time, he has decided to part ways with Cheng Pei as soon as possible. If things go smoothly after going to the seaside, he will not go back at all for half a month. When the day is almost over, he will drive directly to Rugao, which was the location of the B-class zombies. Getting higher-level crystal nuclei was the most important. Originally, he and Liu Mu, two people, had been using crystal nuclei in their backpacks to survive. Later, when hunting, he could only dig crystal nuclei from the zombies he secretly hunted at night. Now there is one more Ji Jia. Shen Chi felt it was not enough. The more powerful the ability user is, the more crystal nuclei they can absorb. He himself was the same. When he was someone else’s subordinate, there was no way he could let go of his hand or at least find a new shield after he had stored enough goods.

  

 As night fell, Ji Jia shrank into the back seat of the car, her stomach rumbling with hunger.

  

 

  ”Come on. Get out of the car. I’ll go get something to eat.”

  

  In the woods by the highway, Shen Chi saw two bright eyes flashing by.

  

  Whether evolved or unevolved animals, they are all edible. Shen Chi got out of the car with his two children. But before he could lift his feet, he saw several zombies with glowing green eyes wandering around the edge of the woods.

  

  This place has been desolate since the end of the world. The roadside of the highway, which used to be quite clean, was now overgrown with weeds. These zombies should be people who died in a car accident when the end of the world came. They were all grotesquely shaped, and quite disgusting. Shen Chi just wanted to raise his hand to clean up these zombies, but he suddenly looked into the woods.

  

 ”Hurry, on the law of imperial edict!” A clear voice suddenly cut through the night sky. A pure qi soars to the sky!

  

  The few zombies immediately slowed down. Then, they were split by several lightning bolts into a charred black colour. They fell down at once, giving off an unpleasant smell.

  

   A figure much shorter than expected had appeared in Shen Chi’s vision-

  Huh, this looks like just a kid! And his dress gives people a very subtle sense of confusion so that one would never mistake him for a Taoist priest.

  

  In his previous life, Shen Chi had seen Taoist priests. The robes of Wudang Taoists were quite fresh and elegant, gracefully fluttering like an immortal. They looked very valiant and formidable, with a double-edged steel sword. The young Taoist priest in front of him had his hair tied. He was wearing a square scarf and a yellow Bagua Taoist robe. He looked like a weird Taoist priest that ran out of those old Hong Kong horror movies. However, seeing this little Taoist with a solemn face and his life value longer than ordinary people, he knew that he could not really take him as a small actor who ran on the wrong set, especially after he just showed his skills like that.
