420: Chapter 408 Undead 420: Chapter 408 Undead Five years ago, a rainy night.
The influence of the Corner made horror literature a mandatory course for all citizens.
All immigrants or local residents who ca to this land had to deeply understand horror literature.
As a result, all kinds of bookstores, video stores, and ga stores proliferated on the streets.
Even places like community centers had very proper shops.
In a nostalgic-thed video store, exclusively selling discs from the eighties and nineties, the bearded owner wearing a baseball cap and denim overalls was preparing to close early.
Boom!
A startling thunder flashed.
Looking back, the owner saw a man in a raincoat standing in the pouring rain not far behind him.
Under the effect of the lightning, he appeared huge and his face was indistinct, causing the owner, who had watched countless films, to be taken aback.
Upon closer inspection, this wasn’t a tall figure at all; the person was just over 1.7 ters.
Judging by the sneakers exposed outside, he seed like a teenage student.
“Luo Di, what are you doing here so late?
I’m about to close.”
The young man jogged to the shelter in front of the shop, pulled back his hood, revealing a face that was obviously youthful yet profoundly dull.
“I ca to buy DVDs; my scholarship just ca in.
Can I directly buy the DVDs I rented from you last ti?”
The owner stroked his beard, “There’s no need to buy~ If you haven’t finished watching them, I can extend your rental for free.
Just return them when you’re done.
Buying them isn’t worth it; after all, these are authentic DVDs, quite expensive in wholesale, enough for you to rent them hundreds of tis.”
“I want to buy them, how much?”
“According to Huaxia Country’s exchange rate, 160.”
“I’ll buy all three I rented last ti.”
Luo Di took out a slightly damp bundle of paper money.
The owner furrowed his eyebrows but eventually took only half, “You’ve been a regular custor~ I’ll give you a student discount, half price.
I’m just curious, why do you insist on buying them?”
“I like them, and I watch them every night.
Renting is too troubleso.
Oh right, can I co in and take a look?
Ten minutes.”
“Go ahead, go ahead.”
As Luo Di browsed for murderer-thed movies within the store, he asked:
“Owner, why do the murderers in these movies never die?
Sotis they are obviously killed in the previous movie, and yet they co back for various reasons, or they simply can’t die.”
“Hmph~ It’s simple, if they died…”
The owner swallowed the words he was about to say, knowing so of the circumstances as he lived in the sa community as Luo Di, and it was only after that incident that Luo Di began frequently renting discs, specifically murderer movie DVDs.
“Cough!
Cough!
According to early horror literature, murderers had the attribute called ‘Undead.’ Those B-movies at the ti didn’t really follow logic.
As these series of movies developed, the ‘Undead’ attribute beca automatically tied to the murderers.
Fans simply accepted this, no one questioned why they didn’t die, they just thought it was naturally the case.”
“Naturally…
Undead.
Got it, thanks, Owner.
Do you have any movie rchandise related to murderers here?
Like machete masks?”
“How much do you earn in a month?
You can’t afford them.
Wait until you get a job after your studies, use your scholarship to buy sothing nice to eat, look how thin you’ve beco.
By the way, I think there’s a box of milk on the table, brought by my mom this morning.
Take it and drink, consider it a gift for buying DVDs.
If you want to rent any DVDs, you don’t need to register, choose quickly and co out, I’m waiting to play gas with my friends when I get ho.”
“Oh, thanks.”
The owner stood at the door, ready to close at any mont.
But after waiting for five minutes with no movent, he noticed his companions’ urging ssages on his wrist and stepped into the shop intending to push Luo Di a bit more.
Yet upon entering, the scene before him made him pause again.
Luo Di had already picked out his DVDs but went to the counter for the milk.
On his way to the milk, he found a machete under the table.
This was the owner’s weapon for protection; living in the Corner-influenced country, this was basic procedure.
Luo Di picked up the machete, holding it in his hand.
At so point, his raincoat hood ca back up again,
In that instant, the owner felt he was witnessing a murderer straight out of a film, retreating two steps in fright, almost knocking over the shelf behind him.
When he raised his eyes again, Luo Di had already put the machete back, sucking on the now shrunken milk box.
“Thanks, Owner.
I’ll be off.”
“Oh… alright.”
Holding the selected DVDs in his arms, Luo Di quickly vanished into the rain.
Watching him leave, a bead of sweat not from the rain slid from the owner’s forehead.

[Underground Parking Garage – Virus Source]
The blonde girl’s body had been torn into shreds of flesh, scattered around like trash.
Jia Wen’s right hand was pierced into the agile black-haired woman skilled in physical attacks.
Any influence involving the body couldn’t break through the zombie’s shell; kicks and strikes landed on Jia Wen like tickling.
His zombie body was specifically built against these people before him.
Sufficient to be called “Nesis.”
Fiercely squeezed.
Bang!
The squad leader’s head exploded, and with a swing of his arm!
The headless corpse slipped from his claws, rolling aside.
“Only a minute and 21 seconds passed… Way too weak.
Being so weak yet finding their way here, their only rit is outstanding perception, so boring.”
In Jia Wen’s eyes,
The little ones attacking the zombie flesh mound had all been killed, and there were just two remaining individuals left to deal with.
One was carried on Luo Di’s back, never attacking the flesh mound, unable to collect the pheromones – Yu Lu.
The other was a rat sneaking into the underground area, one that attempted to usurp the zombie’s arm but swiftly abandoned it, a smart rat.
Though it was just a mont’s contact, as long as the other was in this underground garage, Jia Wen could sense the rat’s presence.
Thus he needed to choose which one to deal with first.
Jia Wen had heard about the Sisterhood, heard of the grim reaper among them, and figured leaving the more interesting counterpart for last was apt.
Moreover, he naturally hated rats, pulling them out first seed necessary.
“Open the eye…”
Stitch by stitch~
Jia Wen’s pure white body grew eye seams everywhere, even on his fingers, toes, and even the surface of his eyeballs had extra eyes opening one after another.
Over a hundred eyes simultaneously scanned the entire underground area, quickly locking onto the hidden hint of red.
The latter seed to know they had been exposed, no longer disguising, actively floating out.
A red balloon,
anwhile, inflating excessively during the float, several tis its original size… Bang!
An explosion,
Hundreds of smiling face balloons floated out, scattered around the underground parking garage.
Jia Wen smiled, watching the thods presented by the opponent, his attention almost entirely focused visually, but his ears picked up a strange sound.
Crack!
Not the sound of balloons,
Nor the sound of the deceased,
But the noise of bones moving, the sound of vertebrae connecting.
Though the threat of the red balloon lood before him, he directed several eyes towards the tilted pit on the side wall,
The body sliced into five parts, smacked across with complete bone fractures, Luo Di lay therein.
The sound of bones was coming from within.
“Oh… Undead, huh?”
