My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 409

Bradley looked into the woods with growing concern. "Could they have run into danger?”

Though pale, Finn tried to reassure them, saying, "Ken is a grandmaster expert. He’s capable of taking on a group of black bears single-handedly. Let’s keep calm and—”

"Oh no, something’s happened!"

Finn's words were cut off when they heard Derek's shout from a distance. Everyone immediately stood up and rushed toward him.

"What's going on? Where's Ken?" Bradley asked as he looked at the two distraught individuals,

Nico, catching his breath, said, "Ken... Ken went deep into the woods to look for herbs but then I... I smelled blood. It smelled much stronger than ordinary blood... I suspect it's from undead corpses.”

Bradley's expression suddenly changed. "Why would there be undead corpses so far from the main peak?"

"Melody, come with me,” Nash said and quickly ran toward the forest.

Melody followed closely behind. By now, it was completely dark outside, but thanks to the moonlight and both of them being Profound Reality Realm martial artists, they could see clearly through the black of night.

"Mr. Nash, why are you guys here?" came a voice. Ken was holding several ginseng plants in his hands.

Melody’s tense nerves relaxed then. "You scared us to death. We thought the undead corpses got you!"

"Undead corpses?"

Ken looked puzzled. "I didn't see anything."

Nash took a deep breath. Even though Ken did not see anything, there was still the strange, eerie scent of blood lingering in the air.

"Let's get out of here quickly. It's highly likely that there are undead corpses nearby," Nash spoke up. The three of them then returned to their camp by the creek.

When the others saw that Ken had returned safely, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Derek patted his chest and asked, "Ken, are you sure you didn't see anything?" He then looked at Bradley again and asked, "Old Perry, do undead corpses eat people?"

This question left everyone puzzled. Nico looked at his grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, are zombies real?"

"They are. There are tomb owners who used formations to turn themselves into zombies.”

"So, which is stronger, undead corpses or zombies?"

"Zombies are stronger.”

Bradley stared at Nash. The meaning behind the man's earlier statement was quite intriguing.

Nash smiled faintly and said, "I started killing zombies when I was 16."

"I don't believe it!" Heidi spoke up. Forget facing zombies, she had been afraid of the dark during bedtime when she was 16.

Melody pursed her lips. "I don't believe it either.”
