C38 – Prepare to Hunt the Zombies

In just one hour, a stone cave measuring ten square meters had been carved out. It wasn’t particularly spacious, but it was perfectly adequate for a single occupant. With Qiu Hanh’s assistance, they constructed a rudimentary wooden door and bed, and Tan Chong could now say he had a place of his own in the Desolate Swamp Mountain Range.

After supper, Tan Chong reclined on the wooden bed, his thoughts drifting to Jiang Qiu. Despite it being only a day since they’d last seen each other, he was filled with longing for her. “Don’t worry, I’ll be heading to Vajra City to see you soon!” Tan Chong whispered to himself, eyes squinting with determination.

He intended to spend three days in the Desolate Swamp Mountain Range. During this time, he planned not only to hunt zombies but also to secure the coveted Nether Blue Fruit from Wolf Valley. As soon as the three days passed, he would set off for Vajra City without delay.

The following morning, under the guidance of Qiu Hanh and Qiu Jing, Tan Chong set out to hunt zombies. Over an hour later, they found themselves in a sparse grove of trees. A massive mining pit lay a few hundred meters from the grove, from which they could faintly hear the guttural roars of zombies.

“How do you typically go about hunting zombies?” Tan Chong inquired, growing impatient as they waited without any sign of the creatures.

?”Mr. Tan, patience is key when hunting zombies,” Qiu Hanh advised. He pointed to a spot ahead and explained, “We’ve set a trap up there. If a solitary zombie comes along, we can draw it into the trap and eliminate it.”

Tan Chong nodded in agreement. The strategy might be simple, but it was a safer approach for them as ordinary people. However, he wasn’t keen on waiting around; he needed to eliminate a significant number of zombies to collect more fragments.

?”Is there a way to draw out some of the zombies from the pit?” Tan Chong inquired.

“We can, but the number of zombies that come out is unpredictable. It could be dangerous if too many are lured out at once,” Qiu Hanh replied, his face showing a hint of concern.

Qiu Jing, picking up on Tan Chong’s intent, quickly cautioned him, “Tan Chong, please don’t consider attracting the zombies. Others have tried before, and one person ended up drawing out hundreds at once. They were ripped apart, and it led to many others being put in harm’s way.”

Upon hearing the news, Tan Chong remained unimpressed.

A mere hundred zombies were nothing to him, let alone a Small-scale Zombie Tide numbering in the tens of thousands.

His concern was for Qiu Jing and Qiu Hanh, whose strength was not up to par. He worried they might become a liability, so he decided to wait a bit longer to assess the situation.

If the zombies failed to show up or their numbers were too few, he would send Qiu Jing and Qiu Hanh away and draw the zombies’ attention himself.

Half an hour later, a single zombie emerged from the mine.

Tan Chong, gripping his Chopping Blade, charged at it.

But before he could close the distance, a figure darted out in front of him and hurled a rock at the zombie.

The zombie, provoked by the attack, charged furiously at the figure.

Tan Chong could see that the figure was a frail little boy, even younger than Qiu Hanh.

Terrified, the boy ran for his life, but as he neared a small forest, he abruptly stopped.

The zombie, closing in on the boy, plummeted into a pit just three meters away from him.

Several armed men then burst from the forest and launched an assault on the trapped zombie, quickly dispatching it.

Witnessing the scene, Tan Chong shook his head and made his way back to the forest.

“Qiu Hanh, are there many people hunting zombies around here?” Tan Chong inquired.

Qiu Hanh nodded, “There are several groups in the vicinity.”

“With so many hunters nearby, how many zombies can you take down in a day?” Tan Chong asked, his brow furrowed.

They had been there for over an hour and had encountered just one zombie.

And with the area teeming with hunters, there simply weren’t enough zombies to go around.
