C255 full moon night (2/2)

Very soon, the sky darkened and a bright moon hung high up in the sky. The atmosphere was extremely tense! I wrapped a military coat around myself and put on a motorcycle helmet, real leather gloves in my hands and a long machete in my hand that the kitchen used for cutting meat. Lu Yu put on a set of leather clothes, covered his face with a thick cloth, and had a diving mirror over his eyes. He also had a kitchen knife in his hand. I let her put on his helmet, but she wouldn't let me. He said it was too ugly, he would rather die than wear it, and there was nothing I could do about it.

Lu Yu said, ”Now that the moon's up, let's go out.”

I looked out of the window and was shocked. The undeads downstairs stopped moving and opened their mouths. What was even more amazing was that rays of light shot down from the moon and into the undead's mouth.

Qi Wei nodded. ”My guess is correct. They are currently absorbing the moon's yin aura, so they don't have the time to pay us any attention. Everyone, leave quickly. If some of the living corpses were to awaken and absorb the yin aura, we would be in trouble.”

Thus, the three of us quickly went downstairs. When we came out of the stairs, Lu Yu still looked back, as if he was reluctant to part with them.

I pulled him. ”Stop looking and there's nothing to reminisce about. Even though this is your refuge, it isn't a place that will last for long. In the end, you still have to return to the real world.”

Lu Yu sighed, ”I do want to go back, but will that world still be able to hold me?”

If Lu Yu really did return to the real world, how would it be difficult for him to survive? Qi Wei was even more so. She was a ghost, so after leaving this world, I didn't know if she would return to her original ghostly appearance.

We came to the center of the clearing, surrounded by undead, but they paid no attention to us at all, just lifted their heads to absorb the essence of the moon, and the three of us relaxed and even joked.

Qi Wei imitated the appearance of the undead. She also raised her head and opened her mouth, mimicking the movements of the undead. I called out to her. ”Stop messing around. Hurry up. We'll be home after we reach that pit.”

Lu Yu held onto his kitchen knife nervously and said, ”I keep having the feeling that something's wrong. With so many undeads gathered together, it's like a convention. If they wake up together, we're dead for sure!”

I smiled. ”Aren't you being too timid? Didn't Qi Wei already guess correctly? These undeads are absorbing the moon's Yin Qi, so they won't look for trouble with us for a while. Our top priority is to get to the pit quickly.”

Everyone was still in a circle, moving out bit by bit. They didn't dare to be careless. If they were to be separated, it would be difficult to look after each other if something happened.

Just as we were about to leave the forest, Lu Yu loudly said, ”This is bad, we're about to encounter trouble.”

He saw that the sky was covered by a cloud which gradually covered the moon. If the moonlight was completely covered then the undeads would surely wake up.

I said in a hurry, ”Let's hurry up and run. Right now, the road is full of undeads. If we wake up, we won't be able to make it.”

Qi Wei said, ”You guys run ahead. I'll cover the rear.”

At this moment, the moon was completely covered by the clouds and the undeads were starting to move. We were about half a mile away from the pit, so even if we ran for our lives, it would be too late.

Lucky for me, I took them with me as I ran as fast as I could to get home, but it was too late for us. The undead had already started to move, and with a dozen undeads blocking our way, I waved my machete and chopped off the head of one of the undead. Then, I cut it in half because I had seen undead people walking around, so the undead's head had to be completely taken care of.
