Chapter 915 - 876: Encountering Zombies on the Road

Lili was utterly terrified and asked Zhao Rong, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, what should we do?

Should we open the door or not?"

Zhao Rong told Lili, saying:

"It’s okay, open the door. I’m here, don’t be afraid..."

Yu Lan got off the kang bed, and while opening the door, feeling flustered, said:

"Brother, if I open the door and these zombies rush in, what should we do?"

When Zhao Rong saw Yu Lan showing some fear,

he said to the apprehensive assistant beside him:

"Assistant, you go open the door, let Yu Lan come back..."

Upon hearing this, the assistant gasped a bit, gathered courage, and said:

"Alright, open the door then, anyway, I got so scared earlier I even wet myself...

If I get scared and wet myself again, it doesn’t matter..."

Having said that, the assistant went to open the door.

Xuelian stared fixatedly at the direction of the door,

wanting to see what the corpse driver and zombies entering would look like.

As soon as the assistant opened the door, a corpse-driving Taoist, dressed identically to a Maoshan Taoist priest, bowed to the assistant apologetically, saying:

"Gentlemen and ladies, I’m truly sorry, this room is usually the one we corpse drivers reside in...

Today, as I reached this corpse-driving valley, I discovered the room was already occupied,

and I didn’t dare stay in any other room...

So, I returned here, sorry for the inconvenience caused, please forgive me..."

Seeing the zombie Taoist speak relatively politely,

the assistant got agitated and pointed at the zombie Taoist’s nose, saying:

"Damn it, I just don’t get it, can’t you spend a night in some other rundown house?

You have to come stay in this house; haven’t you noticed it’s already occupied by Brother Zhao Long, Miss Lili, Beauty Yu Lan, Beauty Xuelian, and me...

This room isn’t large, and we’ve already got five people here,

but you want to join in the fun too, how can there possibly be enough space?"

Corpse driver said awkwardly:

"In this corpse-driving valley, only this room isn’t haunted,

all the other houses are haunted...

Besides, I’m driving six zombies, if I stay in those haunted houses, these zombies might resurrect and cause havoc..."

Upon hearing the difficulties faced by the corpse driver, Lili felt very sympathetic and said:

"We’re all struggling, since the corpse driver has no place to stay, it’ll just have to do for one night here...

Anyway, first thing tomorrow morning we’ll all be rushing to search for the gold diamond..."

Xuelian pulled the covers over himself, finding it hard to accept a corpse driver bringing zombies to live under the same roof with them,

he said:

"Miss Lili, it’s the first time I’ve lived under the same roof with so many men..."

Meanwhile, Yu Lan looked at the six corpses trailing behind the corpse driver,

feeling extremely creepy and terrifying, said:

"I’m really worried that in the dead of night these zombies might suddenly resurrect and kill all of us..."

At this moment, the corpse driver brought the six corpses inside the room,

and while closing the door, feeling rather embarrassed, said to Zhao Rong and the five others:

"Really sorry for causing trouble, please excuse me..."

And when the assistant saw that the six zombies were all dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes,

he puzzledly asked:

"Isn’t that strange, why do zombies have to wear Qing Dynasty attire, why not wear clothes from the Ming, Tang, Qin, Song, Yuan, or the Sixteen Kingdoms era, why specifically Qing Dynasty attire?"

Upon hearing this, the corpse driver explained to the assistant, saying:

"This brother, you may not know, because the Qing Dynasty is relatively close to the present,

so the bodies might not have decomposed, allowing them to become zombies,

considering the time of Song, Yuan, Ming, those bodies are already decomposed,

so can’t become zombies..."

Upon hearing this, the assistant understood and nodded, saying:

"So that’s how it is, no wonder when I used to watch zombie films on TV, all the zombies were dressed in Qing Dynasty attire..."

Then, the corpse driver lay down on the ground and told the five corpses beside him:

"You zombies, just stay in the room obediently, don’t move,

tomorrow morning we will depart..."

Xuelian looked at those creepy zombies, with bloodless faces, without body temperature,

feeling intensely terrified, said to the corpse driver:

"I say, can’t you let these zombies wait for us in the courtyard?

Why insist on living with us, can’t they be separated?"

The corpse driver said helplessly:

"This beauty, you don’t know, if I leave them in the courtyard, they will definitely get stolen..."

Upon hearing that some people would steal zombies, Xuelian was perplexed, asked:

"Isn’t that strange, how much are zombies worth, why would anyone steal them..."

The corpse driver took out a wad of bills from his pocket, told Xuelian, saying:

"Miss, you may not be aware, each of these zombies costs 100,000 yuan, bought from the corpse drivers of Miao region..."

When Zhao Rong heard the corpse driver spent 100,000 yuan for each of these zombies bought from Miao region,

he was immensely curious, asked:

"Corpse driver, I’m trying to understand, spending so much money buying these zombies from Miao region, what’s the purpose?"

Lili carefully examined the zombies dressed in Qing Dynasty attire and asked the corpse driver:

"Where are you driving these zombies to now?"

The corpse driver informed Zhao Rong and the beauties, saying:

"Gentlemen, ladies, you may not know, I’ve had many jobs, opened restaurants, worked as laborer on construction sites, worked in big dye factories, swept streets, collected garbage, even ran tofu factories, but all failed, not only did I earn nothing, but accrued substantial debts...

But one night while sleeping on the streets, I noticed someone making a fortune driving zombies,

I decided to join the industry and make big money..."

Upon hearing the corpse driver drives zombies to make big money, Zhao Rong was tremendously curious and asked:

"As a corpse driver, how do you make big money driving zombies?

Can you explain this to us in detail?"

Upon hearing this, the corpse driver explained to Zhao Rong how being a corpse driver is profitable,

saying: "Brother, you may not know, when I bought these zombies from the corpse drivers of Miao region for 100,000 yuan each,

I drive them to the northwest, and when sold, each zombie can sell for 1 million yuan..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rong was stunned,

He didn’t expect being a corpse driver could be such a profitable venture.
