Chapter 19: Parting in Life and Death, Hard to Let Go of Familial Love!

  After hearing Xia Yu Xin's words, I was as if struck by lightning, standing stupidly in place, with a face full of confusion.

  Is the zombie turtle coming?

  It can be said that one wave has not yet subsided, and another wave is rising. In the front, there are dark troops marching, and in the back, there are corpses like a tide. Is our village really facing great disaster?

  At this moment, I suddenly had an urge to cry loudly. With wolves in front and tigers behind, the feeling of having nowhere to escape made me almost collapse.

  Xia Yu Xin saw me dazing and called out to me: "Yi Fan, hurry up, let's go!"

  I came to my senses, gritted my teeth and thought to myself, "Damn it, it's not time to give up yet." The villagers were all in the coffins at the construction site. Earlier, there was a loud wailing sound from the hundred coffins, and some of the coffin lids were already loosely covered. I had to go and cover them properly.

  I took off running towards the construction site, and my sister's corpse couldn't help but exclaim: "Are you crazy?! You're just a mortal body, if you get trapped by the tide of corpses, you'll be dead without a whole corpse! What will I do after you die? If I don't open the Blood Spirit Coffin or establish a contract with you, I'll be refined by the Blood Spirit Coffin! You can't be so selfish, you can't be so selfish!" My sister's corpse shouted frantically, but I didn't listen and charged straight towards the construction site.

  At this time, Xia Yu Xin also shouted loudly behind me: "Yi Fan, where are you going?"

  "No need to evacuate the villagers, they're all in the big coffin at the construction site, you run quickly!" I accelerated my sprint, using up all my strength to rush towards the construction site.

  At this moment, I only have one thought: even if I'm torn to pieces, even if I'm gnawed by corpse turtles until not a single bone is left, I must still tightly cover those coffins.

  There lie the villages where I have lived for over twenty years!

  My left and right neighbors, my uncle and aunt, elder sisters-in-law, even my dad might all be lying there!

  But what I didn't expect was that Xia Yuxin also caught up, panting and asking: "What did you just say? What's all in the coffin?"

  "Villager!" I said while running: "This matter can't be explained in a short time, if we can escape this disaster, I'll tell you the details later!"

  The construction site was shrouded in mist, with hundreds of large coffins lying quietly before my eyes. Although I had seen it once before, looking at it again still left me somewhat shocked.

  Xia Yu Xin had previously fled hastily from Mantou Mountain, although she saw these coffins, but in her panic to escape and rush to evacuate the villagers, she didn't pay attention. Now standing in front of this giant coffin, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and asked me in surprise: "Yi Fan, what's going on with these coffins?!"

  I shook my head and didn't speak, then quickly rushed to the coffins of Dog Egg Wife and Old Mother, and pushed the coffin lids hard.

  With a creak, I closed the coffin lid and rushed towards another coffin.

  "Zhang Yifan, what are you doing?" Xia Yuxin obviously still didn't understand the situation. I pushed the coffin lid while saying: "This isn't the time to talk about that, hurry up and help me push the coffin lid!"

  Xia Yu Xin had doubts in her heart, but she also knew that this was not the time to hesitate, and hurriedly rushed over to start helping me.

  There were over a hundred large coffins here, more than half of which were not tightly covered. Xia Yuxin and I worked hard for nearly ten minutes, but there were still four or five coffins that had not been covered. At this time, however, a strange "squeaking" cry was heard.

  I was startled and quickly turned my head, looking in the direction of Mantou Mountain.

  A gentle breeze blows, thick fog churns, and as the mist rises, I see a dense layer of corpses, like a tidal wave, making chaotic cries, rapidly rushing towards here.

  Too many, too many, as far as the eye can see, a dense mass of corpses, they seem to be waves, one wave overlapping another, one wave covering another, it's better to say that they are tangled together, following the tide, rolling in this direction.

  I was shocked numb and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, then shouted loudly: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and close all the coffins!"

  I let out a loud cry and quickly rushed in front of a coffin, pushing it with force.

  But perhaps it was because I was too frightened, or maybe I had pushed too many coffins, I was already exhausted, I pushed this coffin lid several times, but it didn't budge.

  What's going on? Why can't I push the coffin lid open?

  I was sweating profusely, and at that moment, I suddenly saw a familiar face through the gap in the coffin lid.

  That was a dark, thin face, and the one lying in this coffin was actually my dad!

  His eyes were tightly closed, his expression calm and peaceful, as if he had fallen asleep.

  The moment I saw my dad, I was like a wronged child, tears burst out of my eyes, and my whole body started shaking.

  "Yi Fan, hurry up, it's too late!" Xia Yu Xin had just pushed a coffin and saw me staring at it in a daze, so she shouted: "They're coming, let's go!"

  Xia Yu Xin stood far away and shouted at me loudly, but I ignored her. She took a deep look at my dad, then let out a loud cry, gritted her teeth, and used all her strength to start pushing the coffin lid!

  "Give me movement, give me movement!" I cried out loudly, and at this time, a "creak" sound of friction was heard, the coffin lid finally moved.

  I was overjoyed and used all my strength again, the coffin lid finally slowly closed.

  It was just that when the coffin lid closed, I seemed to see my dad open his eyes and look at me with a smile on his face, full of relief.

  "Dad!" I shouted loudly, but the coffin lid had already been completely closed.

  I bit my lip and held back tears, just as the turtle finally crawled onto the construction site, only a short distance of less than five or six meters away from me.

  Although I have seen many disaster movies, the scenes of destruction and chaos in them had a profound impact on me. But compared to what I am experiencing now, those scenes are nothing.

  In the face of this overwhelming, surging tide of zombies, I suddenly felt a desperate thought arise within me. I even thought to myself, "Don't bother escaping anymore, there's no chance of survival." With so many zombies, wherever you run, it's all just death waiting to happen. Rather than frantically running for your life only to ultimately meet the same end, why not just sit here quietly and calmly await death?

  I don't know why I had such an idea, all I knew was that my legs were weak at the moment, and my whole body had a layer of goosebumps, almost falling to the ground with a thud.

  But I knew at this time can't give up, there are still several coffins that have not been closed, I must go and close them.

  As I thought of this, I rushed towards another coffin, but at this moment, a strange cry of 'squeak! squeak!' rose from the corpse tide, the sound was piercing and chilling to the ear.

  Xia Yu Xin suddenly rushed to my side, grabbed me and shouted: "Hurry up, Yi Fan, we have to go! We've done our best!"

  I struggled, wanting to push the coffin lid, but Xia Yu Xin took me down with a single grab and dragged me, pulling and dragging me as we ran towards the village.

  While running, I still couldn't help but look back.

  The endless tide of corpses has submerged all the large coffins, and in those few coffins that were not tightly sealed, a group of corpses crawled in, and it seemed to me that I even heard the sound of corpses gnawing on human bones and swallowing human flesh.

  That voice made my scalp tingle and my heart tremble repeatedly.

  In an instant, feelings of guilt and self-blame surged to the top of my heart, as if my entire heart had shattered along with the coffin.

  But now I am powerless, can only say in my heart, deeply sorry!

  Xia Yu Xin and I rushed into the village quickly, at this time, we two suddenly bumped into Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei saw Xia Yu Xin and shouted loudly: "All the villagers are gone!"

  Xia Yu Xin waved her hand and shouted: "Don't worry about it anymore, the villagers are safe, let's run quickly!"

  The villagers who came back with Xia Yu Xin earlier were all together with Xiao He, and I was familiar with these people, they were all of my uncle's generation. Li Shu was also among them. At this moment, he saw Li Shu with a panicked face, running while muttering: "We've been punished, we've been punished, the mountain god is angry, we're done for, there's nowhere to escape!"

  We all remained silent, only Li Shu's trembling muttering occasionally came out, and was occasionally covered up by the strange cries of the dead turtle.

  At this moment, we are unclear about the road ahead, unable to distinguish direction, and do not know our destination. We have only one thought, which is to escape, to flee from the terrifying zombie tide, the farther the better.
