“Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong…”

The alarm on his phone rang suddenly. Xi Hongshi, who was about to build a shed for himself, paused and instantly jumped up.

“I’ll water it immediately… I’ll water it immediately…”

Putting the firewood in his hand on the ground, he ran anxiously to the foot of the largest willow tree in the willow forest. Then, with a whoosh, he nimbly climbed onto the branch.

“Let’s check for bugs first…”

“Then… comb the willow branches…”

“Continue trimming the willow leaves and cleaning out the dried leaves…”

“Finally, fetch water…”

The hot summer did not chase away the coldness in Xi Hongshi’s heart. After checking that there was nothing wrong with the willow tree, he finally felt relieved. Then, he quickly jumped down, picked up two wooden barrels, and hurried to the river not far from the willow forest.

He dipped the plastic bucket into the river and instantly filled two buckets.

Then, he rushed to the willow forest and climbed onto the willow tree with a bucket of water. He held the bucket in one hand and climbed with the other hand. The highest point of the willow tree’s branches could accommodate his figure.

After doing this, he still could not rest. After finding a suitable angle, he poured the water from the bucket of water.

The sound of water splashing was endless. There was nothing more refreshing in the hot summer than pouring a bucket of cool river water on the head.

The willow branches were irrigated by the cool river water, and the entire tree shook.

Jiang Xiaocheng, who was sitting under the willow tree not far away, was indifferent to the busy Xi Hongshi and only observed silently.

It was not until Xi Hongshi had run back and forth from the river more than a dozen times that he turned off the noisy alarm on his phone.

Then, he picked up the bell and stood up.

“Ring, ring, ring!”

Under the guidance of the bell, the motionless Tang Long and Tang Hu instantly came to life. They came to Jiang Xiaocheng’s side on both sides and crossed their hands before lifting her up.

Soon, Tang Long and Tang Hu carried Jiang Xiaocheng to the willow tree. Jiang Xiaocheng first circled the willow tree as if she was observing something.

Xi Hongshi, who was still watering the willow tree, could not help but twitch his lips when he saw Jiang Xiaocheng. He was distracted and poured water away from his aim.

A month had passed since the battle.

As for the outcome, based on the current situation, one could easily come to a conclusion.

Jiang Xiaocheng, who had been released by Xiang Ye, was like a mad dog that had been released from its cage. She tore the Tang brothers into two without any effort.

Yes, she tore them into two.

Xi Hongshi still could not forget the tragic scene.

The Corpse King, who had been subdued by him, suddenly seemed to have descended from the heavens. Monstrous resentment swept through the surroundings, even covering the moon in the sky.

The 30 feet area with the Corpse King as the center had completely turned into a forbidden area.

The sharp resentment kept attacking Xi Hongshi’s body like a knife. At that moment, he thought he had arrived at the 18th level of hell.

Under the impact of the resentment, Tang Long and Tang Hu, who were holding the Zombie King, were like sailing ships that had encountered a tsunami. They were blown around and could no longer control it.

Then, the Zombie King directly tore Tang Long and Tang Hu into two.

Even now, after Xi Hongshi’s painstaking repairs and reconstruction of Tang Long and Tang Hu, they were still severely injured. They could only do simple tasks for the time being, such as carrying the Zombie King and patrolling the surrounding willow forest.

As for Xi Hongshi himself, he had originally closed his eyes and waited for death. At that time, the Zombie King had already leaned against his neck, so close that he could even smell the stench in its mouth.

But in the end, for some reason, the Zombie King stopped.

Then it stripped him down to his underwear and shook everything out.

It confiscated a pack of cigarettes, a lighter, an old-fashioned button phone, three paper talismans, more than 200 yuan in change, a set of keys, his identification card and bank cards.

It was also at this moment that Xi Hongshi suddenly understood that this Zombie King was not like ordinary Zombie Kings. It had probably even cultivated back its lost intelligence and was human-like.

Otherwise, how could it use a phone?

How could it type a string of words and show him?

This female Zombie King said that she had originally planned to burn him to ashes, and even his ashes would be scattered into the feces pit in the nearby farmland. However, thinking that he was still a living person, she decided to leave him behind for the time being to make up for his mistake.

As for what mistake he had made, Xi Hongshi still did not understand.

As a first-stage zombie herder, wasn’t it his duty to subdue demons and capture zombies?

After encountering such a Zombie King, no matter what, he had to destroy it.

The Zombie King should be called Jiang Xiaocheng now. She had already used her phone to tell him her name, so he would call her Jiang Xiaocheng from now on.

However, no matter what, Jiang Xiaocheng had already become a zombie, and it was very likely a ferocious mutated Zombie King who was no longer human.

At this moment, the human trait of exclusion meant that they would never accept her.

So what if she had intelligence?

Therefore, Xi Hongshi firmly believed that he was not wrong, and he was unconvinced.

He wanted to talk to Jiang Xiaocheng about whether she could let him off. After all, he still had unfinished business and hoped that Jiang Xiaocheng would understand. He still had to bring the Tang brothers to Jiangnan City to report and make Xiao Luming pay with his life.

However, Jiang Xiaocheng did not listen at all and only responded with a slap.

After being beaten up by Jiang Xiaocheng, Xi Hongshi had no choice but to give up on this idea for the time being.

Although Jiang Xiaocheng could communicate with him, the problem was that she was impervious. If he resisted at all, she would kick him.

Xi Hongshi could be said to have nothing on her now. The bell that controlled Tang Long and Tang Hu had been taken away, the three life-saving talismans had been confiscated, and even the phone that could have been used to call the police… had been taken away by her.

It could be said that the current Xi Hongshi was entirely helpless.

There was no other way but to commit himself to this for the time being.

“Smash~”

A gravel accurately hit Xi Hongshi’s forehead, and soon a large bump appeared.

“Ouch, ouch! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I’ll work right away, I’ll work right away.”

After returning to his senses, Xi Hongshi hurriedly picked up the bucket and was about to splash it on a dense willow leaf.

However, he accidentally missed his footing. In his panic, he had no choice but to grab a tree trunk, but how could the tree trunk support his weight? With a crisp creak, the tree trunk fell with him, both of them hitting the ground with a dull bang.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaocheng rolled up her sleeves and walked over angrily…
