Chapter 114: Help!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Mu stood a small distance in front of the bookshelf. When the zombie jumped out, it was merely three steps away from Qiao Mu.
"Roar!" It bared its fangs, and its whole face became contorted.
When the zombie abruptly jumped in front of her, even if Qiao Mu was talented and brave, she could not help but jump from the shock.
...Seeing this "gorgeous beauty" up close truly sent chills down a person!
Qiao Mu subconsciously summoned her ferule and slapped it like a clap of thunder, hitting the head of the pouncing zombie.
Although the zombie's mouth had already grown fangs, its movements were still not fast enough.
With a slap of her ferule, Qiao Mu had crushed the head of the zombie.
She pursed her mouth and mumbled to herself, "They are growing fangs so quickly already."
Fangs were the mark of a level two zombie. This zombie outbreak not only started in advance, but the speed of mutation was also astonishingly quick.
In her previous life, zombies did not advance to level two until at least seven days after the outbreak. The abnormal change this time truly caught her off guard.
Walking around the dead zombie, Qiao Mu entered the secret room behind the moving wall.
This was probably a storage room, and there were also two zombies hiding in the corner.
The two female zombies, whose original looks could not be identified, opened their bulged out eyes and charged toward her with ferocious faces one after the other.
These two zombies were evidently feeble in the face of a level four mystic cultivator.
After Qiao Mu quickly took care of them, her mood turned a bit downcast and upset.
This... was probably the owner of the talisman shop and his family, wasn't it.
After the zombie outbreak, the shop owner likely moved his wife and daughter into the secret room to escape disaster.
However, one of the three people must have suffered a serious injury and died before long.
Then, something heartwrenching occurred.
After the dead corpse mutated and lost their mind, they killed their two closest family members with their own hands, and the originally perfect family was destroyed like this.
Qiao Mu recalled her father. Her resentment and anger had actually vanished long ago like smoke in thin air when she saw the zombie pulverize her parents' bedroom.
Any resentment could crumble to dust in the face of disaster and family.
In comparison to the tragedy of the owner of the talisman shop and his family, Qiao Mu sincerely felt like nothing was better than a family being whole and safe.
In truth, her father was intrinsically kind. When faced with death, he would push away his wife without any hesitation.
It was just that he was foolishly filial some times, but she reckoned he could not change that in his lifetime no matter what.
As Qiao Mu circled the storage room, she found 10 bags of husked rice and several hundred fake talismans without talisman energy.
She naturally threw away the fake talismans and tossed the husked rice into her paradise. When she was about to leave, her foot kicked a pitch black wooden box.
Qiao Mu stooped down to pick it up. Opening it, her eyes involuntarily brightened. There was a nondescript jade tablet the width of three fingers laying inside the wooden box, as well as about 300 blank talisman papers.
It was truly "One will search high and low only to find it when one least expects to." With these 300 blank talisman papers, she would not have to worry about drawing more storage talismans.
Qiao Mu turned and flipped the jade tablet in her hand but could not discern anything, so she simply tossed it back in its box and threw it into the paradise along with the husked rice.
Only
After putting away the Heart of Paradise, Qiao Mu stepped out of the talisman shop.
The rain had stopped, but there were still traces of moisture in the air.
Qiao Mu turned around to look at the lamentable family and secretly stated, "I hope your family can live happily and safely together in your next life."
"Help! Help!!!" Qiao Wenjuan's panicked screech could be heard from around the corner.
Qiao Mu brusquely looked over and saw Qiao Wenjuan running at the forefront while Elderly Lady Qiao totteringly followed her in a scramble.
And 10-20 ferocious-looking zombies closely chasing them from behind.
Qiao Mu's eyes twitched and found it amusing. The Qiao mother and daughter are here...
