Chapter 126: Spirit Alert

With just one sentence from Yang Haoran, Wang Yiming and his companions were deeply shocked. They had received orders informing them that a swarm of zombies had appeared, numerous and difficult to handle. So, before rushing over, they made sure to bring along everyone who could be of use.

But now, Yang Haoran was telling them that all the zombies had been dealt with. How could they not be astonished?

The shock in the hearts of the three was written all over their faces, a fact that Yang Haoran naturally noticed.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

However, besides shock, Wang Yiming was left with only perplexity, while the two behind him, after their initial shock, revealed disbelief.

"Come inside. It's your first time at my place, I didn't expect it to be under these circumstances," Yang Haoran said calmly, then turned and walked into the house.

The door that had been blocked was now wide open to Wang Yiming and his two companions as Yang Haoran left.

Wang Yiming didn't hesitate and walked into the house. His two companions hesitated slightly, but seeing Wang Yiming enter, they exchanged a glance and followed suit.

Since Yang Haoran claimed there were no more zombies in Yangjia Bay, Wang Yiming believed him. After all, this wasn't the first time they had interacted, and Wang Yiming had some understanding of Yang Haoran's character. He believed Yang Haoran had no reason to deceive him. His only confusion was, if all the zombies were gone, then who had taken care of them?

Was it Yang Haoran alone?

If Yang Haoran possessed such immense power alone, then why had Yangjia Bay still experienced such a tragedy?

To Wang Yiming, this seemed somewhat illogical.

"Please, take a seat."

Yang Haoran gestured towards the benches around the Eight Immortals table inside the house as he spoke to Wang Yiming and his companions, then fetched a kettle and three bowls, filling each with hot water.

"Our home conditions are limited, please make do," Yang Haoran said as he set down the kettle.

The three thanked him and, following Wang Yiming's lead, each sat in a corner. At this moment, Yang Haoran's gaze fell upon Wang Yiming.

"Are you here representing your Fu Sect or the spirit police?" Yang Haoran asked.

Yang Haoran knew Wang Yiming belonged to the Fu Sect, but whether he was part of the spirit police was unclear to him.

Now, with such a major incident happening in Yangjia Bay, since the Lecheng Police Department had already been informed, they would certainly send spirit police to handle it. However, Yang Haoran hadn't expected Wang Yiming to be the one coming. He felt somewhat puzzled, hence the question.

As for why he didn't mention Master Zhou at all, it was because he didn't want to stir up more trouble. If he were to tell Wang Yiming that everything was Master Zhou's doing, and Master Zhou had been killed, it would surely invite more trouble.

Yang Haoran was adept at deceiving people, even though his emotions were low at the moment and his mind wasn't as sharp as usual. Still, he managed to make Wang Yiming and his companions believe his every word.

Half-truths and half-lies were the most difficult to detect. If someone was skilled at lying, the chances of being caught were even lower.

Wang Yiming and his companions were spirit police, not detectives. Their presence was solely for dealing with various spiritual anomalies in Lecheng. In this regard, they were naturally professional. However, when it came to solving cases and reading people's expressions, they were definitely not as proficient as real detectives.

Although Yang Haoran's explanation to the three wasn't flawless, even if real detectives were brought in, it would be difficult for them to detect any flaws in his words, let alone Wang Yiming and his companions.

"The bodies of the corpse fiend and the corpse puppets were turned into a gray liquid by my friend using special methods, and I wanted to keep the bodies until you arrived to deal with them. However, I agreed to this method because I was worried that the corpse poison inside the bodies might spread and cause unnecessary trouble," Yang Haoran added.

Worried that the three might want to see the bodies of the corpse puppets and the corpse fiend, Yang Haoran made some additional remarks.

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the spirit police seemed to have some understanding and insight into dealing with zombies. He appeared deep in thought and subconsciously nodded.

"Even if zombies are slain, the corpse poison inside their bodies will still exist for a period of time. If any living creature is infected with corpse poison during this period, it's possible for them to turn into corpse puppets."

"Therefore, the bodies of zombies must be disposed of immediately. There are two methods for disposal. The first is cremation, turning the zombies into ashes, which naturally eliminates the corpse poison. However, this method isn't entirely safe because the mist formed during cremation also contains some corpse poison. Inhaling it excessively can cause harm to the body and may even turn one into a corpse puppet."

"The second method, as my master once mentioned, is to completely dissolve the bodies of the zombies into liquid. This liquid appears grayish-white and is actually the corpse poison from inside the zombies. If this method is done properly, there's no harm at all. However, if not handled properly, the harm is even greater than cremation."

"However, those who are capable of using the second method are experts. The bodies of zombies are extremely rigid and defensive, and not just anyone has the ability to dissolve them into liquid. Since Brother Yang's friend understands and has the ability to directly turn zombies into corpse poison, he must also have the ability to handle this corpse poison properly."

As soon as this spirit police finished speaking, another seemed eager to showcase his own abilities and insights. He said, "Turning the bodies of zombies into liquid for disposal is quite convenient. Just find a place without any living creatures, pour the liquid onto the ground, and let the corpse poison seep into the ground. It will disappear quickly. Since Brother Yang's friend is an expert in this field, he definitely knows about this."

Yang Haoran's gaze swept across the faces of the two spirit police and then turned to Wang Yiming. He said, "It seems that both of them are experts in this field."

Wang Yiming managed a faint smile and replied, "We can't really be called experts. Most of the spirit police sent out this time have some understanding of zombies, including myself. Otherwise, if we were sent over without understanding the problem, it would be laughable. However, we only have a superficial understanding, far from being experts."

"You don't need to be modest. I know your abilities. That's roughly the situation in Yangjia Bay. However, for safety's sake, I suggest you thoroughly inspect Yangjia Bay and the surrounding villages to prevent any stragglers and avoid the tragedy of Yangjia Bay from recurring in other villages."
