The morgue was filled with numerous bodies, all covered with white cloths. Under the dim light, the scene was chilling to the bone and gave an eerie feeling that made one shiver involuntarily."Group Leader Tang, there are a total of twelve victims in this serial murder case, and their bodies are all here!"
Xu Na guided Tang Wenrou and Fang Bai into the morgue and pointed to a row of bodies covered with white cloths.
Despite wearing a thick mask, Xu Na couldnât shake the feeling that a strange odor was penetrating her nostrils, making it unbearable for her and making her want to vomit.
Tang Wenrou nodded slightly and reached out to lift the white cloth covering one of the bodies.
"Ugh..."
Xu Na didnât expect Tang Wenrou would suddenly reveal the body without any warning, and involuntarily her gaze landed on the corpse, which stirred turmoil in her stomach; she immediately ran to the doorway and bent over to vomit into the trash can.
Fang Bai saw that she had almost vomited up bile and couldnât help but laugh out loud, saying, "Officer Xu, itâs just a dead person, is it that bad?"
"This dead person... is indeed somewhat different..."
No sooner had Fang Bai spoken than Tang Wenrouâs voice followed close behind.
Fang Bai looked down, then frowned slightly, thinking no wonder Officer Xu was throwing up â the corpse before him had highly decayed flesh, with almost no part intact; some areas were even sprouting a layer of green fuzz, making it indeed quite nauseating to see. It could really be too much for anyone not mentally strong enough to handle.
"This is corpse poison..."
Fang Bai muttered.
"Corpse poison? What do you mean?"
Tang Wenrou looked at Fang Bai with a puzzled expression.
Though she also felt disgusted seeing that corpse, her mental fortitude was much stronger than Xu Naâs, so she wasnât about to vomit.
Fang Bai pointed at a wound on the corpseâs neck, saying, "See that wound there?"
Tang Wenrou concentrated and observed, noticing indeed a wound on one side of the corpseâs neck, frowned, and said, "This wound... it looks like it was made by some kind of bite..."
Fang Bai snapped his fingers, saying, "Exactly! A bite! And it was a human bite!"
"Human?"
Tang Wenrouâs eyes sharpened, "Are you saying... this person was bitten to death by someone?"
Fang Bai said, "Indeed, bitten to death by someone! But it wasnât a living person, it was a dead one!"
Tang Wenrou rolled her eyes and spat out, "How can a dead person bite? What are you talking about, are you still in the mood for jokes at a time like this..."
"Iâm not joking!"
Fang Bai shrugged his shoulders and pointed at the body in front of him, saying, "Ever heard of zombies? The thing that bit him to death was a zombie!"
Seeing Tang Wenrou in a daze, he continued, "This person had some of his blood sucked by a zombie, then he was poisoned by the corpse poison, and thatâs how he ended up like this!"
"Fang Bai, what youâre saying... Is it true? Do zombies really exist in this world?"
If it were anyone else talking about "zombies," Tang Wenrou would find it hard to believe, but Fang Bai had already shown her too many unbelievable things, so she was willing to believe him.
Fang Bai said, "Whatâs so strange about that? If a person is buried after death in a place rich in Essence Energy, and the corpse is nourished by this energy, it will not decompose. Over time, the dead body turns into a zombie!"
In his previous life in the Cultivation World, Fang Bai had seen many zombies, including those with a certain spirituality and mana, the Vajra Indestructible Body, capable of flying and fleeing through the earth, known as "Flying Zombies". He had also fought against quite a few of them.
However, for people in this world, "zombies" usually only exist in legends, and very few people have actually seen one.
Fang Bai only gave the victimâs corpse one glance before determining that it must have been the doing of a Green Zombie with a certain level of ability.
The so-called "Green Zombie" refers to a zombie with a body covered in green fur; this type of zombie has an extremely fast leaping speed and strong attack capability, equivalent to a Profound Level Martial Artist, but its weakness is the fear of sunlight.
"Zombies all carry toxins on them, and this toxin is referred to as âcorpse poisonâ. After a zombie bites someone, it transmits this poison to the person bitten, and after the bitten person dies, they turn into this..."
Fang Bai then pointed to the other dozen or so bodies and continued, "If Iâm not mistaken, thereâs no difference between these bodies and that one; all have been infected with the corpse poison!"
"Can corpse poison be contagious?"
Tang Wenrou quickly stepped back several paces, distancing herself from the corpse, then asked.
If corpse poison could spread from person to person like other contagious diseases, then that would be a big problem. across the entire city and wait for that green zombie to appear!"
Fang Bai said, "Zombies are not human, ordinary weapons simply cannot kill them. Especially green zombies, they have formidable defensive abilities, and ordinary officers will have no chance if they encounter a green zombie. The more officers you muster, the greater the potential loss when the time comes!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wenrou was dumbfounded and pressed, "What should we do then? Although weâre not afraid of zombies, Anxi City is so big, who knows where the zombie will appear next? If we canât eliminate the zombie in time, how many more innocent lives will be lost!"
After thinking for a moment, Fang Bai said, "This matter has already exceeded the capabilities of your police force. It seems we need to involve the âDragon Guardâ."
Tang Wenrou knew that Fang Baiâs other identity was that of a âDragon Guardâ Instructor, who had the authority to mobilize all members of the âDragon Guardâ, and each member of the âDragon Guardâ was a master from the Ancient Martial World. Indeed, they would be much stronger than the officers of Anxi City.
