Chapter 132 The Dead Who Do Not Decay Are Stiff
Chen Wen was unaware that Lin Shirong and the others were speculating and making up stories about him; otherwise, he would have scoffed at them.
Become emperor? He's planning to kill the emperor!
He simply walked off the ship step by step and set foot on Cheung Chau Island.
His gaze swept over the three helmsmen kneeling in the front row, and his brows furrowed slightly.
According to intelligence, this pirate group should have eight leaders, except for Zhang Yulin and Dan Yanying, who are already dead.
Including the Flying Apes, there should be five left, so why are there only three now?
Before he could even speak.
The flying ape scrambled forward, its face plastered with fawning obsequiousness:
"Reporting to the Boss! Two branch leaders are ungrateful and dare to defy your divine authority, refusing to submit!"
"They've already been killed by our combined efforts! Now there are only three of us left on the island, and we swear to serve our leader to the death!"
Chen Wen looked at him and sneered:
"Is it that they refuse to submit to me, or that they refuse to submit to you? Taking this opportunity to eliminate dissidents is a clever tactic."
The flying ape was so terrified that it fell to its knees and kowtowed.
"I'm innocent, boss! I wouldn't dare do that even if I had ten thousand lives!"
"Those two were indeed speaking arrogantly and disrespectfully to our boss! My loyalty to our boss is as clear as day!"
"Alright." Chen Wen was too lazy to delve into these petty tricks. "I have no interest in your trivial matters. Lead the way to find Zhang Baozai!"
Although the surrounding pirates had heard about it from the Flying Ape, they were still full of doubts.
An older pirate couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"In and out of the island, in every nook and cranny, the brothers have lived here for so many years, and they have never seen the shadow of old... Cheung Po Tsai."
"Even if he were still alive, he probably wouldn't be on the island anymore, right?"
Chen Wen sneered:
"That's because you've come to the wrong place."
"Cheung Po Tsai is a greedy man, obsessed with money. He can only be alive in one place!"
Many people immediately realized what was happening and blurted out:
"treasure house!"
Chen Wen nodded slightly, confirming everyone's statement.
Everyone got excited.
You should know that Cheung Po Tsai is a legendary pirate who is over a hundred years old now!
If he is still alive, that would be a miracle!
In addition, there was the immense allure of the treasure trove.
Without wasting any time, the group immediately headed straight for the depths of the island.
After passing through layers of simple camps, we arrived at a seemingly ordinary mountain wall.
Flying Ape immediately took two of Zhang Yulin's trusted men and ordered them to activate the mechanism, and the heavy stone door opened with a rumble.
The scene behind the door left everyone who saw it for the first time speechless.
Under the firelight, it truly resembled a mountain of gold and silver!
Boxes of gold ingots and silver coins were piled up like mountains, and scattered jewels and jade stones reflected a dazzling brilliance in the firelight.
Huge coral trees, exquisite antique porcelain, pearl necklaces, agate ornaments...
The dazzling array of items almost filled the entire enormous cave.
"Hiss! These damned pirates! They actually have so much treasure!"
"Just how many people have they harmed!"
Lin Shirong, Yan Zhendong, Yacha Su, and Xie Si, these people from poor backgrounds, had never seen such a scene before.
Lin Shirong stared blankly, unable to resist reaching out to touch a jade sculpture about half a person's height next to him.
Yan Zhendong took a deep breath and forced himself to look away.
Toothbrush Sue's mouth was so wide open it could fit an egg.
Xie Si felt his legs go weak.
Even Flying Ape and the other two pirate captains were stunned.
The Flying Ape swallowed hard, and cursed with a mixture of jealousy and annoyance:
"That bastard Zhang Yulin! He's looted so much! What we brothers risked our lives to get probably doesn't even amount to a tenth of what's here!"
"Oh?" Chen Wen glanced at him, a half-smile on his face. "Your combined total is about ten percent of what's here?"
The three flying apes turned pale instantly, wishing they could slap themselves, and quickly swore an oath:
"My lord, you are wise! We were prepared to offer this to you all along!"
"We're all the boss's men, so naturally everything belongs to the boss!"
Chen Wen ignored them.
To be honest, even with his strong character, he felt a strong shock at the overwhelming wealth before him.
In the world of Tangshan Big Brother, he was a laborer.
Working hard all day following Brother Long, I couldn't earn much money. It was only after robbing the gang that I became well-off.
Feng Yuxiu also had to pawn his watch and ring.
Later, although it caused trouble for Big D and Ah Lok.
But millions of Hong Kong dollars are just a pile of paper. How can they compare to the visual shock brought by mountains of gold and silver and dazzling jewels?
Fortunately, he didn't have much desire for wealth.
He was only slightly distracted, but he quickly recovered and his eyes regained their clarity.
Chen Wen sighed, his gaze passing over the dazzling treasures and landing on the very center of the cave.
There, at the highest point of the pile of gold and silver jewels, stood a zombie dressed in an old brocade robe!
The zombie is seated, with its legs spread wide and its body wielded like a golden sword.
Although it looked emaciated, its large frame still hinted at its former imposing stature. It was dressed in a zombie robe and wore a zombie hat.
A long-handled broadsword rested beside the zombie.
Lin Shirong and the others finally noticed the zombie and were startled:
"Captain, look! There's a zombie over there!"
The others were also somewhat surprised and quickly turned to look.
"Where did these zombies come from?"
"Why put it in the middle of this mountain of gold and silver?"
"Could he be...?"
The zombie that was placed in the center of the treasure vault must have an extraordinary identity.
In addition, Chen Wen kept saying he wanted to find Zhang Baozai.
Many people have already guessed the answer.
Chen Wen slowly shook his head, his gaze fixed on the zombie, his voice calm yet clear, echoing throughout the treasure vault:
"If a corpse does not decay, it becomes a stagnant corpse!"
"But he's not dead, so he's definitely not a zombie!"
"Don't you think so... Cheung Po Tsai!"
boom!
When everyone heard that name, it felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in their ears.
The treasure vault was deathly silent, save for the crackling of the burning torches.
Everyone stared intently at the zombie sitting atop the sea of gold and silver, their eyes filled with shock, fear, and bewilderment.
Someone couldn't help but speak, their voice trembling:
"Captain... even if this is really Cheung Po Tsai, he's dead, he's a zombie..."
"Cheung Po Tsai, I've brought you two big gifts."
Chen Wen interrupted the man, continued looking at the zombie, and gently waved his hand.
Two Blood Flag soldiers immediately stepped forward and each threw the cloth bag they were carrying with all their might.
The cloth bag landed and rolled away, and two human heads smashed onto the mountain of gold and silver, tumbling all the way to the zombie's feet.
It was the heads of Zhang Yulin and Dan Yanying!
Click... Click...
A strange sound suddenly rang out in the treasure vault!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the zombie... actually moved!
Its withered head slowly lowered, and two eerie flames seemed to burn in its deep-set eye sockets as it stared intently at the two human heads at its feet.
"Lin...er..."
Even more terrifying, the zombie's mouth twitched a few times and actually made a sound!
"You...killed my precious son!!!"
boom!
The zombie suddenly stood up!
Although the movements were somewhat hesitant, they were incredibly swift, stirring up a gust of cold wind!
Withered, claw-like hands suddenly grabbed the long-handled Guan Dao beside him. The blade, reflecting a precious light, slashed out with a cold light and lunged directly at Chen Wen!
