Chapter 586: Chapter 290: My name is Lin Baici, 19 years old, I’m hungry!_1

"What’s the situation?"

Xia Hongyao suddenly rose and walked outside.

"Don’t look anymore; the zombie tide has erupted, and we need to get ready to move out!"

Gu Qingqiu leisurely picked up her teacup, taking gentle sips. Although the tea wasn’t great, the atmosphere made up for everything.

That’s exactly the thrill she wanted!

The undead spread, causing chaos in the ancient city, and its downfall came overnight!

"What an entertaining game, this Curse of the Gods!"

Gu Qingqiu was very satisfied; following Lin Baici to Busan was the right choice, as it made life much more interesting.

"That was quick!"

Lin Baici didn’t go to the streets, but listening to the faint roars that came through, he knew what was happening.

After all, only these zombies could produce such sounds, which he had heard before in Wo Niu Village.

"If the zombies were spreading normally, I think it would take many days to reach here. Plus, the zombies probably lack intelligence and wouldn’t directly target Shangqing Mansion. Therefore, the ones who have arrived here aren’t a large group, but a few lucky ones, so the destruction they can cause shouldn’t be that extensive!"

Gu Qingqiu held her cup with an unaffected grace, as if she were the reclining Dragon, planning the world’s affairs under a thatched roof with her fan in hand.

"What do you mean?"

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand, and Kim Myungjin was also confused.

"What she means is that someone is pulling the strings, directing a large number of zombies to Shangqing Mansion. The garrison is completely overwhelmed, leading to a breach!"

Lin Baici drew his Bronze Sword: "Lee Taehyun, call the Mountain People. Gather in the courtyard!"

"At once, my lord!"

Lee Taehyun immediately departed.

Xia Hongyao, inspired by Lin Baici’s explanation and impressed with Gu Qingqiu’s intellect, excitedly said, "Is it possible that if we kill the mastermind, we could clear the game?"

Fear?

Nonexistent.

"I think we still need to kill the King!"

Gu Qingqiu interjected.

"Hmm!"

Lin Baici agreed with her assessment.

As Kim Myungjin listened to the conversation, she felt envious. She longed to be as wise as Gu Qingqiu. She used to think that a good figure was enough for a woman to be perfect, which made her very confident. But after meeting Lin Baici, she began to reconsider her view.

Just having a good figure would probably not win Lin Baici’s appreciation!

"God Lin, something’s happened in the city!"

Quan Sangin rushed in urgently: "The zombies are everywhere, and they’re unstoppable now. This city is doomed sooner or later; we must run!"

In the courtyard, footsteps were chaotic as the Mountain People gathered.

"Lord Lin!"

One Ear didn’t dare enter but stood at the gate to report.

"Prepare for battle, our target is Zhao Decheng’s residence!"

Lin Baici was about to go and bring Hua Yue Yu himself, but Xia Hongyao stopped him: "I’ll go. These people listen to you; you need to stay and command!"

Six minutes later, everyone was assembled.

"Monsters are everywhere outside. If you want to live, follow me!"

After saying this, Lin Baici took the lead and rushed out of the estate.

The streets were filled with frantic fleeing crowds, some even carrying bundles containing their most valuable possessions.

Part of the city was on fire, sending black smoke skyward.

"Ah, help!"

On the west side of a street, a woman was knocked down by a zombie. Just as her heartrending cry for help was uttered, a Bronze Sword flew and pierced the zombie’s head.

Bang!

The zombie collapsed on the ground and died on the spot.

The woman who narrowly escaped got up in a panic, but her eyes followed the flying sword that returned to the hands of a handsome young man.

Was he a god?

"Keep up!"

Lin Baici charged towards Zhao Decheng’s residence.

He was the most powerful official in Shangqing Mansion, likely having prepared an escape route. Following him would mean escaping as quickly as possible, rather than delaying by finding their own way out.

When the Mountain People saw Lin Baici slaying a zombie with a flying sword, they were astonished, and several inexperienced villagers immediately knelt down, kowtowing in awe.

Li Zaicheng and Pei Douwen, witnessing Lin Baici use the weapon for the first time, were so envious they almost drooled.

Great sword! So powerful!

"Are there any beautiful female zombies out there? Come out and let the real Hunger God have a look!"

"It’s a pity this is ancient times; there are no black stockings or high heels. I wonder if the empress would look pretty in her phoenix robe?"

The voice that suddenly rang out made everyone startle and turn to look at Lin Baici, then their gazes shifted to the Bronze Sword in his hands.

Was the sword speaking?

"My name is Lin Baici, I’m 19 years old, a hungry man. I like girls around my age, but if there aren’t any, older ones are okay too. I hear aunties are more caring..."

Smack!

Lin Baici slammed the Bronze Sword onto the ground, his face lined with a black streak.

This sword was powerful indeed, but its habit of spilling people’s dark secrets,

So annoying!

"I understand you, I want to be kept too!"

Quan Sangin laughed awkwardly, reaching out to pat Lin Baici’s shoulder in sympathy, but he restrained himself. Lin Baici’s excellence had diminished his sense of equality.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The woman, clutching her belongings, ran over, clearly wanting to follow Lin Baici.

Safety!

"Let’s go!"

Lin Bai led the group toward Zhao Decheng.

Not far apart, merely over two hundred meters, Lin Baici arrived to find some soldiers guarding Zhao Decheng’s residence.

"Halt!"

A captain of the guards, upon seeing the group of strangers, was very tense.

Lin Baici didn’t speak; he advanced towards the captain and slapped him hard across the face.

Slap, slap!

Two slaps stunned the captain.

Lin Baici’s arrogant manner kept the captain from reacting; rubbing his face, he followed behind.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Zhao Decheng, sweating profusely, was urging his servants to load his belongings into a carriage. When he spotted Lin Baici, he immediately approached him with a forced smile: "You’ve arrived just in time; I was about to personally search for you!"

Zhao Decheng had already received a report from the big-bearded man and planned to rely on Lin Baici’s combat strength to protect them as they left the city.

"How do you plan to leave?"

Lin Baici asked, noticing that the other had no intention of defending the city.

"I’ve prepared an official ship, we just need to hurry to the dock!"

Zhao Decheng lowered his voice to prevent being overheard.

"How big is the ship? And who else is leaving with you?"

Gu Qingqiu cut in.

"It can hold three to four hundred people. Some nobles from the city will come along too, you can rest assured, there will be no ’lowly peasants’."

Zhao Decheng smiled faintly, thinking Gu Qingqiu would not want to be on the same ship as those dirty, lowly farmers.

"Stop packing, we must leave immediately!"

Lin Baici urged.

"No! No, these are wealth I’ve accumulated over many years, living in the capital is hard when rice is expensive!"

Running away this way would be considered dereliction of duty for Zhao Decheng, even if he was the Queen’s cousin. He couldn’t rest easy, thus he needed a lot of money for bribes.

Lin Baici didn’t bother to argue with Zhao Decheng, he just took out a pine torch and struck it across the ground.

Boom!

The torch ignited, and Lin Baici stabbed it into the pile of luggage on the carriages.

Boom! Boom!

Flames soared as the luggage caught fire instantly.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Decheng shouted, reaching out to grab Lin Baici’s arm.

Bang!

Lin Baici kicked Zhao’s stomach, "I told you to leave, now!"

"That’s money!"

Zhao Decheng vomited blood with regret, thinking of all the curses he endured and bad deeds he did to scrape together that wealth. "Now you burn it, have I suffered those curses for nothing?"

Lin Baici drew back the pine torch, grabbed Zhao Decheng by the collar, and yanked him close, "If your head could command those soldiers to set sail, I would have already chopped it off!"

Zhao Decheng was shocked, realizing that this official from the Heavenly Dynasty was not joking, so he caved, "I’ll go, I’ll leave right now!"

"Bring my sedan chair over!"

Zhao Decheng finished shouting and within seconds, the sound of fighting came from the front yard, causing him even more panic.

"The undead have broken in?"

Zhao Decheng saw four sedan bearers carrying over the chair, was about to step in when Lin Baici grabbed his collar and threw him aside.

"Yue Yu, you sit!"

Lin Baici helped Hua Yue Yu, who was weakened and not yet fully healed, into the sedan chair as she couldn’t run.

The sedan bearers looked at each other, then at Zhao Decheng.

"Damn it..."

Zhao Decheng cursed reflexively.

"You have a problem with that?"

Lin Baici challenged.

"No! No!"

Thinking of what the big-bearded man had said about how Lin Baici could single-handedly knock down dozens of the undead, Zhao decided to continue to humble himself.

"Once we reach the royal city, I’ll deal with him!"

Zhao Decheng muttered to himself, got up, and without waiting for the big-bearded man to lead the way, the soldiers who were guarding the front yard rushed back in a panic.

"My lord, there are too many monsters!"

"We can’t hold them!"

"Run!"

Chaos erupted.

"Quick, through the back yard!"

Zhao Decheng kicked the big-bearded man, "Hurry!"

The procession set off.

"Lead the way!"

Lin Baici intended to take the lead, but Zhao Decheng held him back, utterly failing to understand why someone of his status would take risks. Wasn’t it better to let the servants be cannon fodder?

Lin Baici hesitated for a moment, then gave up, deciding to treat these God Ruins Aboriginals as NPCs.

The procession was long, including the servants and over a dozen carriages.

As they passed through a gate with hanging flowers, an undead maid suddenly charged out of the shadows and latched onto Zhao Decheng, grabbing his shoulder.

"Help!"

Zhao Decheng screamed at the top of his lungs.

Swish!

A blade flashed, and Lin Baici decapitated the maid.

Bang!

Lin Baici kicked the severed head away and gave Zhao Decheng a push, "Keep running!"

Splattered with blood and scared stiff, Zhao Decheng stumbled forward desperately.

The soldiers at the front opened the back gate, only to stop dead as they stepped out.

"My lord, the streets are filled with monsters!"

The soldiers said, trying to return and close the gates, but several undead had already rushed in and overpowered them. More undead piled on, creating a hill of flesh in the blink of an eye.

Even more undead came running, flooding through the back door.

The servants scattered in all directions, but they couldn’t outrun the undead, one by one they were overtaken and killed.

"What do we... what do we do?"

Zhao Decheng stammered in fear, trying to grab Lin Baici’s arm as if grasping for a lifeline.

"Get lost!"

Lin Baici kicked Zhao Decheng down, sword in hand, and advanced towards the undead.

Roar!

An undead peasant charged, and Lin Baici swung his sword.

Swish!

The head separated from the body, falling to the ground, and Lin Baici kicked the corpse.

Bang!

Like a battering ram, the body flew out, knocking over two undead, which Lin Baici then swiftly dispatched with his sword.

Seeing Lin Baici’s formidable fighting abilities, Zhao Decheng rejoiced inwardly, muttering.

"We can survive! We can survive!"
