Lu Yu nodded, "That’s right, I have done some research on the astronomical calendar and immediately deduced that tonight is the full moon. This is a skill passed down by our ancestors. Hehe, powerful, right?"
I thought, "You’re an orphan. What kind of inheritance do you have?"
Qi Wei snappily picked up a desk calendar. "If you have a desk calendar, then just say it. Why are you bragging about yourself? Do you think we’re idiots?"
After Lu Yu’s lie was exposed, his face turned red, and he said with a smile: "It was just a joke, don’t take it seriously."
I didn’t mind this matter and replied smilingly, "That’s nothing much. However, since you’ve said it like this, we’re running out of time. We should hurry up and prepare for it."
Qi Wei said, "What’s there to be prepared for? When the full moon comes around, the undead will definitely stop their actions to absorb the moonlight essence. We’ll escape together at this time. As long as we hurry back to the pit, we’ll return to the original world."
I shook my head. "You said it yourself. The undead stopping at full moon was just your guess. It might not be that easy to solve the problem. But if it wasn’t for that, we would have been surrounded by undead the moment we left the building."
Lu Yu agreed: "That’s right, Yu Qian is right, we cannot act rashly. Fighting with the undead is no good, we are definitely seeking our own destruction!" I’ve seen this kind of tragedy many times upstairs. It’s too cruel! "
Qi Wei asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
I thought for a moment and said, "We’d better find a protective coat inside the building and wrap ourselves up tightly. Then, we’ll find some weapons, and the three of us will form a group and walk out bit by bit. Even if the undead can move, we’ll have attack and defense, so we won’t have to sit still and wait for death."
Qi Wei nodded. "You’re right. Let’s do this!" Right, I am a ghost, so I don’t need to look for those protective gear, right? "
I suddenly smacked Qi Wei on the head. She cried out in pain before covering her head in anger. "What are you doing? You’re crazy!" I said smilingly, "Look, I hit you and you cried out for pain. This means that you are also a human in this world. As long as you are a human, you will definitely be afraid of undeads. So, you can’t be an exception."
Qi Wei could only nod helplessly, but she still wore a smile on her face. "Being able to stay here for a while as a human is already the best thing I can do. I’ve been a lonely ghost for so many years. I’m just too fed up."
Lu Yu said in fear, "But what if we fail? The undeads have amazing strength. Although they don’t have any intelligence, but if they were to swarm together, no one would be able to beat them. "
Qi Wei laughed. "Why are you so scared?" For a man to be so vigorous, how about it? "
Lu Yu said with a bitter face: "I don’t have as much guts as you guys. After all, I’m living a good life here and I really don’t want to go out and take risks."
I said in a bad mood, "I’ve been annoyed by your ink. If you really don’t want to go out, then stay here and don’t get in our way."
Lu Yu smiled apologetically, "Don’t be like this. You guys came and left, so I can’t die alone. Anyway, this time I’m risking my life to accompany my master, so I’ll go with you guys!"
I smiled and nodded. "This is what a man should be. Great!"
Everyone searched for a while inside the building. Sure enough, they found quite a few protective gear and weapons. They immediately put them on and quickly finished their preparations.
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.
