Chapter 156 Don’t worry about me, just catch her!

The carriage procession moved slowly.

The entire procession consisted of five carriages.

Four of them had wooden cargo compartments at the back, used for carrying goods.

The other carriage was the one Si Yan was riding in.

This was likely specially prepared for Si Yan by Chief Steward Xue.

After all, Si Yan was now the famous Medicine Saint.

And with the Ying Family’s influence, even the manager of this Ruyi Building wouldn’t treat Si Yan like other players.

In fact, at times, he was quite respectful.

Who would want to offend a highly skilled Medicine Saint?

What if they needed his help one day?

Around the carriage, besides Zombie Er who came along, there was also a Zombie Manager responsible for procurement.

And two zombie guards, who were Ruyi Building’s guards.

Their strength was decent, both having reached the Ghost General level.

In addition, there were more than ten native humans.

These were the coachmen and those following to move goods.

Si Yan sat in the carriage, observing the city, which resembled ancient times.

The streets were bustling, with many small vendors hawking their wares.

“She should know I’m out,” Si Yan thought.

Nangong Wan’er’s people must be monitoring Ruyi Building.

This time, she was highly likely to make a move against him.

As for why Nangong Wan’er didn’t choose to attack Si Yan with a curse, Si Yan found it simple.

Any curse would have certain limitations.

For example, some fierce ghost curses would affect anyone who had visited the fierce ghost’s house, leading to them being cursed and hunted by the ghost.

The prerequisite here was that the cursed person must have visited the fierce ghost’s house.

Just like in Ju-on.

Or, like in The Ring, anyone who watched the videotape would be cursed.

Neither of these curses was a direct attack.

Instead, once cursed, the person would be haunted by the fierce ghost no matter where they fled, even to the ends of the earth.

These were also very troublesome curses because high curse resistance was useless.

There were many types of curses.

But no matter what kind of curse, it would be difficult for Nangong Wan’er to curse Si Yan without any contact or interaction with him.

She had no grievances or enmity with Si Yan.

If she wanted to curse Si Yan without paying too high a price, she would at least need to come into contact with him.

She would need to obtain something from Si Yan, such as his hair or clothing.

Therefore, Si Yan had been very careful these past few days, waiting for her to appear.

The carriage procession thus passed through the streets, heading in one direction.

About ten minutes later, the carriage procession entered a less crowded street and arrived in front of a medicinal herb shop.

The Zombie Manager entered the shop with the procurement list.

“Sir, this shop is also controlled by several Zombie Families; we must purchase medicinal herbs here to do business in Danyang City,” Zombie Er whispered to Si Yan.

The medicinal herbs purchased by Ruyi Building were not for treating illnesses but for zombies to bathe in and refine their skin.

Many zombies living in Ruyi Building, for convenience, would directly purchase them there.

Zombies with a little money spent a lot of time bathing daily to refine their skin, and the bathwater was naturally concocted from various medicinal herbs.

Zombies’ practice of bone, sinew, and flesh also had a great demand for medicinal herbs.

Liu Yiyi’s Ying Family’s business typically involved acquiring goods in one place and then delivering these medicinal herbs to certain cities or families.

It was equivalent to being a middleman.

Si Yan got off the carriage and followed to take a look.

Procurement was actually very simple: the Zombie Manager gave the list to the other party, who then tallied the goods and loaded them onto the carriage.

As for the payment, it was settled by the Ruyi Building’s owner himself.

So, in just over ten minutes, all the goods from the first shop were handled.

The caravan continued its journey to the second shop.

Nangong Wan’er showed no signs of making a move yet.

Si Yan remained calm.

About half an hour later, the second shop was reached.

This shop was located in the south of the city, in a rather secluded area.

The Zombie Manager went down again with the list to make purchases.

Si Yan also followed him down.

“Oh, isn’t this the Medicine Saint?”

One of the shopkeepers at this shop was a patient Si Yan had treated a few days prior.

This shopkeeper had suffered from tiny insects burrowing into his eyes and further into his brain.

This was a common problem for zombies in the medicinal herb business.

Because the Zombie World was filled with zombies, the entire world’s environment was naturally vastly different from the main world.

There were many microorganisms, insects, and so on in the Zombie World that did not exist in the main world.

Seeing Si Yan, the shopkeeper showed great enthusiasm.

Si Yan had easily solved his problem last time.

If he encountered a similar problem again in the future, he would still rely on Si Yan!

They didn’t stay there for too long, and the caravan set off again, heading to the next location.

The area the caravan passed through this time was quite remote.

There were originally two routes, but Si Yan had the Zombie Manager choose a more secluded one.

This was deliberately creating an opportunity for Nangong Wan’er.

Although Nangong Wan’er was cunning, she would never have guessed that Si Yan had already figured out it was her.

This time, the probability of her making a move was very high.

The caravan moved slowly forward.

Soon, they entered an alley.

Just as they entered the alley, two zombies suddenly appeared at the front of it.

They carried a strong aura of malevolence and approached the caravan with ill intent.

“Sir, we have a situation!” Zombie Er said.

Si Yan looked back, and two more zombies appeared at the rear of the alley.

The four zombies, using this alley, blocked Ruyi Building’s caravan.

Not only that, but these four zombies kept closing in.

“Who are you? This is Ruyi Building’s caravan; quickly make way!” the Zombie Manager shouted at the two zombies in front.

But the two zombies in front ignored his words; one of them accelerated and, in a few steps, rushed in front of the Zombie Manager.

Before the Zombie Manager could react, the zombie grabbed him by the throat.

The zombie held him like that and suddenly threw him into the sky!

“Ah~” The Zombie Manager screamed in the air, arcing in a parabola, and landed on a distant building, smashing a large hole in it.

The other three zombies also moved.

Although zombies were not as agile as Vampires, these few zombies were powerful and extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, the three zombies charged into the caravan.

Ruyi Building’s two Ghost General guards couldn’t stop them and were directly picked up and thrown into the sky.

These zombies did not choose to kill Ruyi Building’s zombies but threw them into the distance!

It seemed Nangong Wan’er didn’t want to provoke Ruyi Building too much.

As for the native humans, seeing the unfavorable situation, they had long scattered like birds and beasts.

Thus, soon, Ruyi Building’s procurement caravan was left with only the carriage Si Yan was riding in.

The four zombies had already rushed over, heading straight for Si Yan’s carriage!

Si Yan’s gaze was not on these four zombies.

Instead, it was on a three-story wooden building next to the alley!

“Ding! Trace successful; you have successfully found a Clue.”

“Clue Hint: Wherever the view is best and she can control the overall situation most effectively, that is where she is most likely to be.”

The system’s prompt had already appeared.

In fact, even without the Clues provided by the Ghoul Detective’s “Clues” skill, Si Yan could guess Nangong Wan’er’s most likely hiding place.

Nangong Wan’er sending out her four zombies to attack meant she herself would definitely be in a place where she could see the entire battlefield and control the overall situation.

That three-story wooden building by the alley was the most likely spot!

Using the Ghoul Detective’s skill was just for extra assurance!

After all, a single mistake could mean failing to capture Nangong Wan’er!

“Found you!” Si Yan’s eyes flashed.

“Ying Rui, don’t mind me, go there!” Si Yan pointed to the wooden building.

“Boom~” A carriage directly exploded, and Ying Rui inside shot up into the sky, heading straight for that wooden building!

At the same time, from under Si Yan’s carriage, the Old Zombie, holding the zombie short sword Si Yan had given him, also charged out.

From the nearby carriages, two more zombies rushed out together.

These two zombies were among the stronger ones Si Yan had treated in the past few days, having reached the Ghost King Level.

Si Yan had not charged them for their treatment but asked them to do one thing for him.

The problems faced by these two Ghost Kings were also quite troublesome.

Having come here by reputation and being cured by Si Yan this time, they also agreed to Si Yan’s request.

Counting the Old Zombie, three Ghost Kings attacked simultaneously.

Although the four rushing zombies were also Ghost Kings, they couldn’t break through the three of them in a short period!
