UWP - Chapter 60 - Strange Village

Not ten minutes after leaving the bus, the party had been attacked by a mysterious entity, and Zheng YaoWen was now dead.

With his flashlight, Bai Zhi carefully examined the area around the body and began putting together preliminary ideas about how Zheng YaoWen had died, ignoring the stunned Xu Feng, who was sitting on the floor in a daze, for the time being.

The delinquent had died a gruesome death. From inspecting the neck area, it looked like Zheng YaoWen's head had been brutally ripped off in one motion, and even his spine seemed to have been ripped out along with it.

Although his death hardly affected the overall strength of this impromptu squad, it had a profound impact on his friend, Xu Feng.。

After all, Xu Feng was processing the horrific realization that he had been carrying his friend Zheng YaoWen on his back the whole time, completely oblivious to the terrifying entity who had killed him and was eating the head with extreme impunity, mere inches away from himself...

Translator Notes

* In the raw, the joke works by having 铺当典 (Something something sutra) and 典当铺 (pawnshop) present different meanings depending on whether the sign is read left to right or right to left.
