Chapter 027 Zombie Lover (10)
【Zhou Tong disgusts me.】
[He bit my Xiuming! Die! ! ]
[If I were in that situation, I would definitely drag Yue Xiuming into it.]
【Xie Chi and his friends might run out of tooth powder.】
[Let me tell you something quietly. Didn’t you notice that the little brother kidnapped two zombies on purpose…? ]
[That’s right! Obviously, saving Xuan Cheng only requires one zombie’s tooth powder, and the extra one…]
[Didn't he know that Zhou Tong was bitten? Could it be that he was preparing this for Zhou Tong? So kind?]
[No? This guy is very dark.]
[It's a good idea to prepare an extra copy. You can catch two at the same time without any effort. Why do you have to be so rigid and only have one? Isn't it a basic quality of a big shot to think ten steps ahead before taking one step? ]
…
On Xie Chi's side, Lu Wen had finished grinding his teeth, and a layer of white tooth powder was sprinkled on the ground in front of the zombie. Lu Wen squatted down, gathered the tooth powder together with his hands, divided it into two equal parts, twisted it and stuffed it into the small jade bottle prepared early in the morning.
The yellow tooth powder inevitably contains dirt, grass and small ants.
Lu Wen turned around and said helplessly: "I tried my best."
This is the bad thing about zombie movies. The good horror atmosphere is always destroyed by spoofs and sand sculptures. Just imagine Xuan Cheng swallowing this tooth powder...
Xie Chi glanced at them and said with a smile: "The soil contains cellulose, the grass contains vitamins, and the ants contain high protein. The nutrition is balanced."
Lu Wen: “…”
Yan Jing laughed so loudly.
On the way back, Yan Jing couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why did you catch two zombies? You only need one."
“Not just more, not just less.” Xie Chi had just said it casually, but suddenly he remembered his brother’s words “Not just big, not just small”. His face turned slightly hot and he coughed twice to cover it up.
…
The three of them rushed back to the inn. Just as they were about to go in, the chatty waiter came up to them and said, "You don't have to rush to save the Taoist priest. The other two have already rushed back and are now going to the backyard to save the Taoist priest. Why don't you take a rest first and I'll pour you some tea?"
Yan Jing was shocked: "Didn't they go to the second star? How come they came back earlier than us? Did they go to the backyard to get tooth powder to feed Xuan Cheng? Then Brother Xie, you don't have the first place?"
Lu Wen also looked puzzled .
Xie Chi thought for two seconds and said, "No, they can't be faster than us. They failed their mission."
Before Yan Jing could gloat over the misfortune, he was suddenly stunned: "Why did they go to the backyard to look for the Taoist priest when the mission failed?"
Xie Chi's smile suddenly became somewhat intriguing: "Guard the task point."
Zhou Tong failed in his mission and needed the tooth powder to save his life, so he rushed back, of course, wanting to snatch the tooth powder from him.
Lu Wen frowned: "What do you mean?"
Xie Chi said nothing, but raised his eyes to look at Zhou Tong and Yue Xiuming who appeared at the door at some point.
Zhou Tong's Taoist robe was worn somewhat strangely. The sleeves seemed to be pulled again and again, covering his hands. His whole face was a sickly blue color, and his skin was a little wrinkled. If you looked closely, you could see dense folds.
Yue Xiuming was behind Zhou Tong, his face slightly pale and his eyes flickering.
Xie Chi took in his expression and his eyes suddenly fell on Yue Xiuming's neck.
Yue Xiuming was originally wearing a shirt under his Taoist robe, but now he deliberately propped up the collar to completely cover his neck.
Xie Chi was stunned for two seconds, glanced at Zhou Tong, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Were you bitten by Zhou Tong?
Zhou Tong in front of him made a few hoarse and rough noises from his throat: "Hand over the tooth powder."
He stretched out his hand towards Xie Chi. The nails on that hand were extremely long and blue-green in color.
Lu Wen's face suddenly changed, and he pulled Xie Chi back: "Zombie!"
The waiter and the cannon fodder were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Xie Chi seemed to be thinking about something. He had exposed his level. Zhou Tong was obviously no match for him, but he was still prepared to snatch it. Either he had a prop, or...
Xie Chi thought about it and realized that the only information Zhou Tong conceded he didn't know, but he actually knew, was that Yue Xiuming was bitten.
so……
hostage?
Zhou Tong wanted to hold him back so that Yue Xiuming could take advantage of the chaos to capture people and threaten him?
Glancing at Yue Xiuming's silent retreat, Xie Chi sighed helplessly, is it so clumsy?
Yan Jing was ready to hear Xie Chi beat up the two men, but Xie Chi said seriously, "I'll discuss it with my friend."
Zhou Tong was stunned. Xie Chi asked him to think about it?
Lu Wen and Yan Jing were also stunned, but seeing as Xie Chi's actions were always treacherous and unpredictable, they were not surprised and stood there trustingly, waiting for Xie Chi's next move.
Xie Chi pulled Lu Wen and Yan Jing aside in a serious manner, coughed twice, smiled a little strangely, and said in a very low voice: "If anyone of you is kidnapped by Yue Xiuming later, remember to use your acting skills, act more realistically and be more scared."
Lu Wen and Yan Jing looked at each other, both of them were confused, but they both nodded obediently. Whatever Xie Chi said was absolutely correct.
Yan Jing secretly sighed that somehow Lu Wen had been trained to become Brother Xie's obedient little brother.
Xie Chi walked up to Zhou Tong again and said calmly, "We have discussed it and we won't hand it over."
Zhou Tong's eyes flashed with resentment: "I will make you hand it over."
Under normal circumstances, he really couldn't do anything to Xie Chi, but after he turned into a corpse, he was half invulnerable to swords and guns, and with the bonus of the buff, there was absolutely no problem in holding Xie Chi back.
No matter how strong Xie Chi is, he is after all just a newcomer who has made one movie, and he doesn't know how powerful some of his props are.
As long as he can hold him back, Yue Xiuming will...
In a flash, Zhou Tong's zombie hand had already grabbed Xie Chi. Xie Xinglan dodged quickly, took the peach wood sword thrown by Lu Wen, and casually faced him. They exchanged a few moves, and his sword never missed its target.
Zhou Tong is now half human and half corpse. The peach wood sword that is useful against zombies has also become his nemesis. Every time the sword falls, he howls in pain and retreats to cushion the blow.
Zhou Tong thought he could hold out for a while in hand-to-hand combat, but when he really faced Xie Chi, he realized how terrifying he was.
There was a deep fear in his eyes.
If he had no other way out, he would never want to be an enemy of Xie Chi.
【I throw the big guy to bully the weak. 】
[How dare you send this up? 】
【Don't forget that Zhou Tong has a Buff. 】
After being poked again and again, Zhou Tong finally stopped hesitating and activated the Buff.
This was the second time that the Buff was used in a short period of time. The moment the Buff was activated, Zhou Tong's face turned as pale as paper, and his cheeks shrank visibly. The hand he stretched out, which was originally well-proportioned, became skin and bones, dry and wrinkled in the blink of an eye, as if all the blood had been drained from him.
At the same time, Zhou Tong's momentum continued to rise, and a sinister and ruthless look flashed in his eyes like a venomous snake.
Yue Xiuming quietly moved towards Yan Jing.
[Fuck, how long will it take for Zhou Tong to recover? ]
[Being forced into this? This should be the maximum buff, right? ? ]
[Yue Xiuming, this is...]
Xie Xinglan looked at the stronger Zhou Tong and laughed, "Interesting."
Xie Chi had just told him that Zhou Tong might have props, so it was expected that he would see them now.
Buff? Improve overall physical fitness in a short period of time?
Zhou Tong's strength increased greatly, and he was finally able to withstand Xie Xinglan's attack.
Xie Xinglan wanted to save face, so her boyfriend was watching the fight all the time. In the past, he could still play with Zhou Tong, but now Xie Xinglan always wanted to win quickly and defeat the opponent handsomely and beautifully.
Just as he was about to do so, Xie Chi said in his mind: "Brother, play with him slowly until his props become ineffective."
Xie Xinglan: “…Okay.”
Zhou Tong's heart skipped a beat as he was about to be stabbed by the sword. The next second, the sword tip deviated and pierced his armpit precisely.
Xie Xinglan sighed deeply as if with regret, then attacked again.
Even though he was trying to defend himself, Zhou Tong was still losing ground. When he was about to lose, Yue Xiuming suddenly yelled, "Stop it!"
Xie Xinglan turned his head and saw Yue Xiuming standing behind Yan Jing, with his hands around Yan Jing's neck.
Xie Chi was very satisfied that Yue Xiuming chose the drama queen Yan Jing.
"Brother! Help!" Yan Jing's face turned pale.
"Xie Chi! Hand over the tooth powder!" Yue Xiuming shouted with a ferocious expression.
Lu Wen said angrily: "You are despicable! Let him go!"
Xie Xinglan withdrew his sword and stopped.
Zhou Tong didn't expect that it would go so smoothly. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He would soon be able to get the tooth powder to detoxify the corpse.
A faint feeling of weakness came over him, and the side effects began to show. Zhou Tong held on, negotiating with Xie Chi as a winner: "I think it's worth exchanging 30 points for a teammate's life, right?"
Xie Chi remained silent, as if he was weighing the options carefully.
Yue Xiuming couldn't wait any longer, his eyes turned red with anxiety: "What are you still hesitating about?! Is he not even worth 30 points?!"
Xie Chi suddenly raised his eyelids and looked at him: "You were bitten by Zhou Tong, right? Don't you hate him?"
Zhou Tong was in disbelief. Xie Chi actually knew that! How did he know that?
Yue Xiuming's eyes flashed with resentment, but he also knew that he and Zhou Tong were now on the same boat. The most urgent thing was to get the tooth powder. He urged anxiously: "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the tooth powder! Otherwise, I will strangle him to death!"
Yan Jing was pinched so hard that he kept coughing, and secretly said thank you to his brother, you liar.
"No, no, no." Xie Chi smiled helplessly, "I understand that you are anxious and confused, but what you want is tooth powder, which does not conflict with my task of handing over the tooth powder."
Yue Xiuming was stunned and the strength in his hands suddenly loosened.
Zhou Tong was afraid that Yue Xiuming was fooled by Xie Chi and would ruin his own plans, so he said anxiously: "Don't believe him! He is lying to you! He cares about Yan Jing's life! There is no way there is no conflict!"
"No." Xie Chi smiled, standing still without trying to get close to Yue Xiuming. He used his eyes to comfort Yue Xiuming and said softly, "I'll talk to you, and it won't be too late for you to kill Yan Jing after I'm done."
Yue Xiuming was more alert than ever before. He didn't believe a word Xie Chi said, but they were restraining each other. The calmer and more polite Xie Chi was, the more flustered and uneasy he became. He was a little unsure of what Xie Chi meant.
Xie Chi chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. Look, you want zombie tooth powder, right? You've just been bitten, so it should take at least ten hours for you to completely turn into a zombie."
Yue Xiuming, who had been in a state of manic despair after being bitten, suddenly came to his senses.
Xie Chi said earnestly, "As for Plan A, you can go to the nearest three-star zombie village to find tooth powder. At your speed, it will take five or six hours to go back and forth, so you'll have enough time."
Yue Xiuming loosened his grip again and suddenly realized that he had been led astray by Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong would turn into a zombie in a few hours, but he himself still had a lot of time.
This time it was Zhou Tong's turn to get angry: "Don't listen to his nonsense! There are so many zombies at the place with the Samsung logo! You can't get the tooth powder at all! It's good enough that you didn't get killed by the hordes of zombies! There's a ready-made one right here, why bother looking for something far away!"
Yue Xiuming's face darkened and he pinched Yan Jing with greater force.
Xie Chi sighed: "Plan A doesn't work, let's talk about Plan B."
Yue Xiuming was stunned.
"What about Plan B?" Xie Chi smiled, and took out two identical small white bottles from his Taoist robe and showed them to Yue Xiuming. "I just caught two zombies and got two tooth powders. One is for saving Xuan Cheng, and there is one more, but it can only save one person. Do you think it's better for me to give it to Zhou Tong or to you? I think you know what I'm hinting at, right?"
Zhou Tong felt cold all over instantly.
If there is more than one tooth powder, then all his premises will not exist. Yue Xiuming will definitely choose to switch sides and win the tooth powder.
Yue Xiuming's hands were shaking violently, his eyes were fixed on the two small white bottles in Xie Chi's hands, his face was full of desire and struggle, and it seemed that he was about to let go in the next second.
"No, that one might be fake!" Zhou Tong roared, "How could it be such a coincidence that they just happened to prepare a second one!! If it's fake, we'll be fooled!"
Zhou Tong was also making a last futile struggle. In fact, as long as Xie Chi could prove that the tooth powder was real, everyone knew what Yue Xiuming would choose. Despair gradually emerged in his eyes, but he heard Xie Chi say lightly: "My second tooth powder is indeed fake."
Everyone was shocked.
——Xie Chi clearly had all the advantages in the negotiations, but he ended up destroying his own Great Wall.
Yue Xiuming retracted his outstretched foot and said angrily, "Use the first one in exchange for Yan Jing's life!"
Xie Chi glanced at Yue Xiuming, chuckled, and said faintly: "Since the second copy is fake, how can you prove that the first copy is real ? Maybe I failed in my mission and didn't get any. Maybe it's just some ordinary medicine, right? Anything is possible."
His tone was indescribably pleasant, and no one could tell which of his words were true and which were false.
Yue Xiuming was so frightened in his assumption. Yes, they never thought that Xie Chi would fail in the mission, but what if he failed? What if Xie Chi also encountered the same pit as them and gave up the mission and came back?
What if there is no real tooth powder in either portion?
Zhou Tong also felt completely hopeless in this assumption.
Xie Chi put one hand in his pocket and said lazily: "So I recommend you choose Plan C."
Yue Xiuming was stunned again.
Xie Chi smiled gently: "My tooth powder may be fake, but the teeth in Zhou Tong's mouth must be real."
Yue Xiuming's eyes widened instantly.
Zhou Tong felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body shaking like a sieve. No!!!
Before he could speak out to stop him, he heard Xie Chi saying to Yue Xiuming:
"I know your concerns. You can't beat him, but his buff effect has worn off. He probably won't recover in the short term, right? You should know this better than me, so I won't waste my words. You can tie him up with a corpse rope and wait for him to completely turn into a zombie, then grind his teeth. I think he should turn into a zombie soon, definitely much earlier than you, so you'll have enough time. This is the simplest and most permanent method. You don't have to go to the zombie village for a fight to the death, nor do you have to guess whether my tooth powder is real."
Zhou Tong tried desperately to escape, but his speed was like that of an eighty-year-old man.
Xie Chi straightened his collar and cuffs which had become a little messy in the melee, looked at Yue Xiuming with a sneer, and said word by word in an almost bewitching tone: "You should hate him very much, right? After all, it was he who bit you and forced you into the water. Now the opportunity is in front of you."
"You're thinking that an actor can't kill an actor, right? Don't be afraid. Once he turns into a zombie, he won't be an actor or a human anymore. Then you can kill him and get your revenge."
