Chapter 5 Fighting in the cave

”Ka—Ca—Ca”

Thunder shoots out the sky like dancing silver snakes, the sound is deafening.

”Ka-Ge-Ge”

A scary voice vibrates from the cold cave that m.u.f.fles the sound of rain.

”Guang—”

With a loud sound, the coffin that laid against the wall shook and fell.

”Dong-Dong-Dong”

A zombie comes out of the coffin, with a cyan, twisted, and ferocious face. His Inflexible arms point forward with no shaky movements, a s.h.i.+ny black fingernail with the yellow stratum corneum like armor has great defense.

This zombie is Zhang Yang.

It has been 15 days since he has evolved into a walking zombie, with a harsh life of refining, although he hasn't touched beyond the walking zombie, he has consolidated the level of walking zombie and now he can put his awareness outside a ten meters wide range based on what the <book of=”” the=”” other=”” things=””> states.

It took him ten days to get that level! However, he cannot take another step forward.

Zhang Yang knows it's a waste of time if he continues to cultivate in the cave since it has become very hard for him to improve anymore in this barren cave.

It's time for him to leave. But the sky isn't lenient and continues to strike down. His fellow zombies are too afraid to move so they return back to their coffins.

Zhang Yang feels a sense of fear from his heart too because of his zombie nature, he tries very hard to stay fearless and jumps out of his coffin.

It doesn't mean Zhang Yang is unappreciative, he just doesn't believe the coffins will do him any good in protecting against the thunder.

Zhang Yang is surprised about how powerful the thunder is just taking a peek at the cave entrance.

The sky is a zombie's ultimate nemesis! The thunder of the sky doesn’t forgive the little zombie that hides in a cave. If he were to be on the outside surface, he would've undoubtedly be struck into ashes.

” WTF! What a misfortune! I am in the body of a zombie, I am not a handsome zombie, and I am already being threatened by lightning as my first foe!”

Zhang Yang cried as if he was still a human right now.

But at this time, he hears someone speaking outside the cave. The voice is low because of the storm outside, but he trusts his instincts that there were people outside.

He jumps besides the wall of the cave and activates his ”radar”.  All the things surrounded him is like a video showing in his head, he can see the rain pour from the sky and with it, bubbles that lay on the ground.

Zhang Yang also sees an earthworm crawl out from the wet soil as if it was taking its first breath.

”There seems to be nothing suspicious…”

Zhang Yang doesn't give up on being vigilant because he knows the limit of his ”radar”. It would be helpful during a fight, but not that good in investigating due to its limits.

As expected, he hears the voice again.

”……It must be near here……”

”….There must be an entrance to the cave somewhere……”

”….Find it!…”

Zhang Yang couldn't hear it clearly, but surprisingly, he could understand the language.

In this world of cultivation, it would've been a ha.s.sle to learn a new language so this was a relief.

A voice comes closer, with a surprised tone:

”s.h.i.+ Xiong, I found it!”

By using his awareness(”Radar”), Zhang Yang can see three Taoist monks clearly.

……

The older monk seems to notice something when Zhang Yang uses his awareness system to scan his location.

Zhang Yang closes his awareness quickly. He is very nervous right now.

Taoist Monks?

Wanting to come into a zombie cave?

This is so unfortunate! If I had left a day earlier, maybe this wouldn't have happened…

The entrance is the only path in and out of the cave, and now? It's being blocked by the three Taoist monks.

”Will I fight them? Can I fight them?” Zhang Yang could not figure out a way to escape from their grasps…

If they were looking for this cave, then that means they have prepared to fight with the zombies in the cave. Anxiously, Zhang Yang takes a gamble—he hopes he can cheat those three monks by hiding behind the coffin and not come out. Maybe, they will be to distracted with the other zombies and forget to check behind his coffin.

Dong -Dong-Dong

Hiding behind the coffin, His body clung to the wall tightly.

After doing that, Zhang Yang hears the three monks rush into the cave swiftly. The more mature one seems to be quicker. Soon, they arrived at the zombie coffins with their swords held out ready to counter any approaching zombies.

These three people seem relieved after noticing that there is nothing in the cave but closed coffins.
