Chapter 1844 - 1836: Encounter Again
Wanghai Pavilion.
An ancient pavilion standing on a ridge in Jiao Zhou Ridge.
Upon closer inspection, it already appears somewhat dilapidated.
However, it is overall still relatively well-preserved.
There are still some remains of walls and a damaged winding corridor nearby.
It seems this place used to be an ancient villa.
"Is this Wanghai Pavilion a remnant of ancient architecture?"
The car moved along the winding mountain road, and through the car window, one could see the pavilion on the ridge in the distance, standing out prominently.
"Captain, you guessed it right! This place used to be called Wanghai Villa!"
While driving, Bu Xuan explained to Lin Tian, "But that was in ancient times. Nowadays, this place has turned into an abandoned land!"
Abandoned land?
Lin Tian looked back through the car window.
Not far from here, one could see Jiao Zhou City, and on the other side was the sea, and not far below Wanghai Pavilion was a wetland.
In theory.
The environment and location of this wetland are exceptionally good.
If developed into a park or estate, it would absolutely be a wonderful place.
Lin Tian was puzzled and couldn’t help but ask Bu Xuan, "This wetland, along with this ancient pavilion, should be a good place. Why hasn’t anyone developed it? And why are we gathering here?"
"Captain, don’t you know? On this side of Wanghai Pavilion is the wetland, and on the other side, it’s a place you wouldn’t expect!"
Bu Xuan pointed to the other side of Wanghai Pavilion, which couldn’t be seen, and shook his head, "That’s an ancient battlefield! It’s also a chaotic graveyard! So, although this wetland seems good, its Fengshui is actually not favorable! Who would come here to develop?"
"Look, there are many factories and companies nearby, but they stay right next to it, using the wetland as a boundary; none of them want to get too close to this area!"
Ancient battlefield!
Chaotic graveyard!
Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, looked at Bu Xuan, and said, "So you’re saying the emergence of the thousand-year-old zombie is because of that chaotic graveyard? In other words, the recent zombie outbreaks are coming from that chaotic graveyard?"
"Captain, the zombies indeed originate from the chaotic graveyard, which is the ancient battlefield!"
Bu Xuan nodded heavily and explained to Lin Tian, "That’s why Zhang Gaoshuang from the Jiao Zhou branch asked me to meet here at Wanghai Pavilion. This is also the entrance to Jiao Zhou Ridge, and the fastest and nearest way into the chaotic graveyard!"
"Have there been zombie outbreaks here before?"
Since Lin Tian was not familiar with the situation in this area, he could only ask again.
"Captain, I’ve looked into it. There have never been any incidents before! The zombie events have only started being reported in the last year or two!"
Bu Xuan shook his head, and continued, "At first, it was just gossip, many people treated it like ghost stories. But now, residents in villages and towns near Jiao Zhou Ridge have had livestock disappear, get injured, and even seen skeletal remains after being eaten!"
Lin Tian glanced at the distant Wanghai Pavilion and then spread out his Divine Sense, intending to explore the continuous ridges on that side.
Over there.
Is the depth of Jiao Zhou Ridge.
However.
The mountain ridges here are vast and extensive.
Lin Tian’s Divine Sense could not detect anything at all.
In the end, he could only give up.
He nodded to Bu Xuan and said, "Let’s discuss it again once we get to Wanghai Pavilion!"
An ancient battlefield, a chaotic graveyard, it’s not too strange for zombies to appear in such places, as far as Lin Tian was concerned.
Especially at an ancient battlefield.
Not to mention Cultivators, even the soldiers filled with murderous intent and grievances or Spiritual Energy would be much denser than in ordinary people. After death, their bodies and souls wouldn’t easily disperse into the world.
Moreover.
With countless Corpse Qi, Yin Qi, rotten corpses, and other things as nutrients, zombies are even more easily nurtured.
The appearance of a thousand-year-old zombie here, perhaps there’s a place where Yin Qi is extremely dense?
Wouldn’t that be the perfect place for Cultivation?
Lin Tian’s thoughts raced, his eyes slightly brightened, and he felt a tinge of anticipation.
The winding mountain road on the outskirts of Jiao Zhou Ridge is truly crooked and twisted.
Lin Tian rode in Bu Xuan’s car, which went around a large circle, finally arriving at the gate of Wanghai Pavilion.
From here.
One could overlook the entire Jiao Zhou City District and the vast blue sea not far away.
As seen from the gate.
One could see the dilapidated garden courtyard and a half-remaining corridor, followed by the relatively well-preserved pavilion and platform.
Yet Lin Tian and Bu Xuan were unable to enter inside.
There were three strong individuals from the Jiao Zhou National Security Branch guarding the gate, blocking their way.
Not only them, but Wang Xiangli, who arrived early, was also denied entry.
"Deputy Leader, what do we do now?"
Seeing Lin Tian appear, Wang Xiangli stepped forward respectfully and spoke in a low voice.
Meanwhile.
He looked at the three guards at the Wanghai Pavilion gate with anger on his face.
"This Zhang Gaoshuang is going too far! He asked us to meet here, yet won’t let us inside, it’s definitely intentional!"
Bu Xuan was also indignant, angrily saying, "Captain, why don’t we just break in?"
"Calm down!"
Lin Tian shook his head and glanced at the three men at the gate of the ancient architectural complex, they were just three Second-level superpower users, hardly worth mentioning and not even attracting his attention.
But he didn’t want to barge in; it was meaningless, so he said to Bu Xuan and Wang Xiangli, "We’re just here to assist in checking the situation, understand the matter before taking action! As for that Zhang Gaoshuang, he’s just a hopping grasshopper, no need to bother with him!"
Hearing this, Bu Xuan and Wang Xiangli kept silent and could only wait along.
Beside them.
Lin Tian’s Divine Sense had already extended into Wanghai Pavilion.
To his surprise.
In a corner of the courtyard inside, there was a black sack containing something humanoid.
His Divine Sense infiltrated it, finding it to be... a completely black, stinking zombie!!!
Have they caught a zombie?
No, that can’t be right; this zombie looks just like a small fry, otherwise, how could it be caught so easily!
The most notable thing was that this zombie’s entire body was emanating waves of Yang Qi!
What’s going on?
Lin Tian was quite puzzled.
Just as he was pondering.
A black luxury car came driving up from the bottom of the mountain, soon stopping by the gate.
From the car.
A young man got out, walked around to the other side of the car, and opened the door for someone else.
The young man’s face bore some scars.
When Lin Tian saw the person clearly, he was taken aback, "Jia Weicheng! Why has he come here?"
Jia Weicheng!
The Young Master of East Air Group!
Previously, on the high-speed train to Mizhou City, he had a conflict with Lin Tian, who beat him up!
Unexpectedly.
He was meeting him again today!
At this moment, Jia Weicheng opened the car door, from which a man with a similar appearance to him got out.
"Mr. Jia, you’re here!"
The three members of the Jiao Zhou Branch at the gate of Wanghai Pavilion saw Jia Weicheng and others, eagerly greeting them and preparing to let them in.
The man for whom Jia Weicheng opened the car door was none other than Jia Yun, the current chairman of East Air Group!
And also Jia Weicheng’s father!
"Hold on!"
Seeing this, Bu Xuan couldn’t hold back, shouting, "What do you three mean? They can go in, but you’re not letting our Captain in?"
This statement immediately made Jia Weicheng and Jia Yun, who were about to enter, turn back.
At this moment, Jia Weicheng also saw Lin Tian, his eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed, "What the hell are you doing here too?"
