Chapter 11 Special Treatment

Body collection and relocation

The whole process proceeded normally.

The four bodies remained obediently inside their sleeping bags, quietly awaiting cremation.

Besides the corpse, everyone was also concerned about the strange locust tree in the backyard. It would be best if they could burn it together, but unfortunately, burning in the backyard was too dangerous.

Even if you manage to burn it from a distance, if an explosion causes the fire to spread, the entire mountain will be engulfed in flames.

At that point, everyone will be forced to leave, which is equivalent to leaving the practice area and thus considered a failure.

The only option is to burn the body first, and then consider how to deal with the tree later, such as cutting it with a chainsaw or felling it with an axe. That should be an option.

【 Outside Ravenna 】

A relatively flat area,

Digging pits and felling trees will be carried out simultaneously in pairs.

Gao Yuxuan stared at the four body bags, his mind already connecting them to the knowledge points he learned in his cultural studies class.

“I’ll collect the firewood. For burning these kinds of Yin corpses, it’s best to use ‘lychee wood’ which has the strongest Yang energy. I’ve seen quite a lot of it when I went up the mountain before.”

The class monitor patted Luo Di on the shoulder and said, “Then you two boys go and cut down trees. Luo Di happens to have a chainsaw, so you’ll be efficient enough. We two sisters can handle the digging.”

If the corpses here stir, we’ll shout for help. Don’t go too far to cut down trees.

Anna also found two rusty shovels in Ravenna’s room and lent her tactical axe to Gao Yuxuan for logging.

The division of labor is complete.

Guided by Gao Yuxuan, they quickly found the so-called lychee wood. It must be said that the chainsaw, equipped with modern technology, was incredibly efficient at felling trees, easily cutting down trees that were about the size of two people’s arms.

All that’s left is to drag the tree back and cut it into thin strips that are easy to burn.

While the two were dragging the tree back,

Luo Di also took the initiative to speak up, wanting to ask Gao Yuxuan, who ranked first in academic subjects, about things related to practical matters.

“Vice-class monitor, have you figured it out yet?”

“Nine times out of ten, it’s a traditional Chinese house with a locust tree and a corpse… If these corpses are left unattended, they will most likely turn into 【zombies】 tonight. There are four of them at once, and even if it’s just a simulated anomaly, it will be difficult for us to deal with them.”

Furthermore, we may also contract Undead Poison, which will cause problems in our subsequent life and studies.

It’s best to burn it down quickly, and the locust tree in the backyard is the best too…”

“Saw it off,” Luo Di added.

“That’s right~ I’ll go after I finish burning it.”

The two seem to have developed a simple understanding.

However, when they dragged the trees back to the open space in front of Ravenna, the digging work was still in progress.

The short-sleeved shirts worn by the two girls were almost soaked with sweat, adding a unique touch to the summer scene.

But Luo Di’s focus wasn’t on them, but on their actions.

Both of them were quite strong, especially Anna, who seemed to have a lot of brute strength but nowhere to vent it. However, her actual shoveling efficiency was very low, as her usual training clearly did not involve digging.

Luo Di stepped forward and asked, “Are there any extra shovels?”

“Just these two.”

“Let me do it.”

Luo Di took the shovel from Anna, while Gao Yuxuan, who was standing nearby, did not participate, since he had no experience in shoveling soil.

Half an hour passed,

A pit large enough to fit four corpses, with room to spare, has been dug.

The foreman, who worked alongside him the whole time, gave him a thumbs up. Almost two-thirds of the pit was dug by Luo Di; he possessed extremely skillful and exquisite digging techniques.

The class monitor even learned it, and he might be able to use it in the future.

certainly,

Anna wasn’t idle either; after being reassigned to another job, she had already chopped all the trees that had been dragged back into firewood.

Everyone quickly filled the pit with the split wooden strips and then used lighters, paper towels, and other flammable materials to ignite them.

When the fire was big enough, the four corpses were put into it one after another, and the flames produced by the burning lychee wood quickly engulfed these corpses that should have been cremated long ago.

crackling sounds~

An unpleasant odor wafted from between the pits.

Just when everyone thought the cremation work was going smoothly,

Snap!

A drop of rain first landed on Luo Di’s face.

A torrential downpour began without warning.

“quick!”

Even though everyone reacted quickly and rushed back to their rooms to get tents and set them up over the pit to keep out the rain, the rain was so heavy that water even flowed onto the ground and into the pit where the bodies were being burned.

The torrential rain extinguished the fire in a short time.

The only good news is that the fire had been burning for almost an hour before the rain started.

Although the cremation time has not been reached, most of the flesh should have been burned away, with at most a little charred meat and bones remaining.

The four grabbed flashlights and hurriedly checked the situation inside the pit. As far as the eye could see, they could see a large number of charred bones.

But a problem was quickly discovered: the light caused the images to freeze everyone, leaving them speechless for a moment.

One of the bodies was remarkably well-preserved, largely unaffected by burning.

“This is… the old man hanging at the very top.”

After confirming that the other three bodies were reduced to bones, everyone worked together to lift the old man’s body out.

The clothing and skin were burned off, the flesh was blackened, and some areas were burned, but the overall appearance remained largely unchanged.

The charred flesh was still oozing a foul-smelling viscous liquid, which seemed to be the very liquid that was preventing the burning.

There’s something clearly wrong with this body. What should we do?

It’s raining heavily, and I don’t know when it will stop.

Given the sudden appearance of these thick rain clouds, which could potentially last all day, it seems the only way to carry out a second burning is indoors.

Moreover, given the heat-resistant properties of the other party, it might not be effective even after burning for half a day.

The entire Ravenna is made of solid wood, so if it is not handled properly and is set on fire, the situation will become even more complicated.

Gao Yuxuan stared at the eerie old man’s corpse and commented softly, “If we leave it unattended, it will definitely turn into a zombie tonight. We need to find a way to dispose of it, either continue burning it or…”

The class monitor’s round eyes darted around, as if he had thought of a rather risky method, and he was about to offer his opinion when…

Luo Di was seen squatting beside the corpse, binding it by tying its hands to a discarded wooden stick with rope.

“I’ll handle this body. Deputy squad leader, come with me for a moment. You two go back to your room and change your clothes. I’ll be done in no time.”

The squad leader stared at the strange corpse and said with some unease, “Should we move together? There’s something wrong with this corpse.”

Luo Di’s attitude was very firm: “It’s okay, the two of us are enough, we’ll be back soon.”

The class monitor didn’t insist. His and Anna’s clothes were already completely soaked, and they really needed to go back and change. “Remember to turn on your wristbands for location tracking. If you don’t come back within fifteen minutes, Anna and I will come looking for you.”

“Um.”

Luo Di dragged the old man’s body with a wooden stick to a relatively steep hillside.

Gao Yuxuan, who was standing next to him, was very puzzled. “You want to throw this body down from here and expect it to roll to the bottom of the mountain? That’s unlikely. The forest is too dense. It will only roll a short distance before stopping.”

Moreover, he already shows signs of reanimation; even if he’s thrown down there, he can continue climbing the mountain tonight, at most delaying him by half an hour.

“No.”

“So what do you plan to do…?”

Snap!

A thunderclap streaked across the sky.

Gao Yuxuan’s question was forced to stop.

The flashing lightning perfectly highlighted the silver chainsaw Luo Di was holding, its blade already spinning at a high frequency.

“you!”

Gao Yuxuan immediately understood everything, and also understood why Luo Di refused to let the two girls come along.

Luo Di’s expression hardened at this moment, becoming even somewhat frightening.

“Later, throw the body parts as far as you can.”

Okay~

Gao Yuxuan swallowed hard, feeling nauseous, and stared intently at Luo Di beside him.

He never expected that Luo Di, who was almost silent in class but always ranked first in sports, would have such a terrible idea.

However, it must be said that there is currently no better, faster, or safer method than this.

…

Inside the institute.

Everyone stared intently at everything happening on the screen.

A supervisor in charge of psychological testing also came to Director Qin’s side, asking, “Are you sure this person’s psychological report is fine?”

To everyone’s surprise, Director Qin had their reports with him and took them out on the spot.

The psychological report for Luo Di showed everything was normal, except for the label of 【isolation】.

“This is the best course of action they can take right now, and such proactive behavior should be praised, not questioned.”

“Well, if he really has no psychological issues, then this young man is definitely worth looking forward to.”
