Corpse Brother: From Calabash Brothers to Corpse Emperor

Bai Xiaofei carried the little deer all the way to Sunshine Elementary School. Standing at the school gate, he shouted towards the playground:

"Xiao Hui! Are you there?!"

However, the entire campus was deserted, and there was no response. Bai Xiaofei frowned, feeling somewhat worried.

"Where is she? I hope nothing happened to her."

At this moment, Luo Heng, who had been following from a distance, also quietly arrived at the entrance of the primary school.

When he saw the Sunshine Elementary School before him, memories of that scene instantly flooded his mind, and his eyes lit up:

"Oh, right! There's a treasure here—"

The Eye of Truth! I remember this thing being incredibly important; it can see through any disguise. I absolutely must find a chance to get my hands on it!

He licked his lips, his eyes filled with anticipation, but he dared not make any rash moves and could only observe Bai Xiaofei's every move from afar.

Bai Xiaofei carried the deer into the guardhouse and retrieved his knife and flashlight.

Then they were tied together with a stick to make a simple spear.

He swung the spear, tested its feel, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, this thing is better than empty-handed."

Little Deer was drawn to the snack cabinet in the guardhouse, staring longingly at the expired candies inside, and timidly asked:

"Uncle, can you buy candy for Lulu?"

Bai Xiaofei smiled and patted her head:

"Don't worry, Uncle will take you to the supermarket and see if there's anything left to eat."

After saying that, he picked up the little deer and led her to the nearby convenience store.

They rummaged around behind the counter for a while and found some well-preserved cookies and drinks.

The little deer happily hugged the snacks and finally smiled.

Just as Bai Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief, a strange sound suddenly came from outside.

It sounded like some kind of metallic clanging, mixed with faint footsteps.

Bai Xiaofei's expression changed. He immediately told Xiao Lu to hide behind him, picked up the spear in his hand, and whispered:

"Don't be afraid, Uncle will go and take a look."

He cautiously stepped out of the convenience store and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that a figure seemed to have flashed past the window on the fifth floor.

The figure flashed by so quickly that it was hard to make out, but it vaguely resembled a survivor.

"Xiao Hui?!"

Bai Xiaofei's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately picked up the little deer and rushed towards the teaching building.

"Quick, let's go see what's going on!"

Bai Xiaofei, carrying the deer, jogged all the way to the front of the teaching building. Looking up at the fifth floor, he noticed that the figure from before seemed to have flashed again.

Suddenly, a flowerpot flew out of the fifth-floor window, aimed directly at Bai Xiaofei's head.

"Holy crap!" Bai Xiaofei shouted, quickly grabbing the little deer and dashing to the side.

The flowerpot slammed heavily onto the ground with a loud "bang," scattering fragments everywhere.

Bai Xiaofei steadied himself and saw that there was a cactus in the flowerpot, which made him furious.

He swung his spear and chopped the flowerpot and soil into pieces in no time, but unfortunately, the cactus bounced up and hit Bai Xiaofei squarely on the head.

"Snapped!"

The cactus, its spiky shell still attached, rolled to the ground. Bai Xiaofei, clutching his throbbing head, stomped his feet in anger.

"What the hell is this?! Dropping a flowerpot is one thing, but a cactus at that! What the hell is that guy up there doing?!"

Little Deer looked at the sulking Bai Xiaofei and whispered:

"Uncle... is your head alright?"

Bai Xiaofei rubbed his head, which was numb from being hit, and forced a smile to comfort her:

"It's okay, Uncle is like an unkillable cockroach, don't be afraid!"

He looked up at the fifth floor and snorted coldly.

"Alright, whether it's a person or a zombie up there, let's go up and take a look!"

Bai Xiaofei, holding a spear in one hand and Xiao Lu's hand in the other, strode into the building.

When they reached the third floor, they suddenly heard a low growl, and a tall, slender zombie appeared in the corridor ahead.

This zombie's neck is extremely long, almost twice the height of an ordinary person, making it look like a bizarre giraffe.

Its movements were slow, but its eyes revealed a dangerous glint, clearly showing hostility towards Bai Xiaofei and the deer.

Bai Xiaofei immediately shielded the deer behind him and whispered:

"Lulu, hurry up and go to the second floor. Be a good girl and wait for your uncle to come down. Don't run around!"

Although the little deer was scared, it nodded and quickly ran downstairs.

Bai Xiaofei watched as the deer left safely before turning around and looking intently at the long-necked giant corpse.

He raised his spear, assumed a fighting stance, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Come on, let's have a go and see if your neck is tougher or my knife is faster!"

The long-necked giant zombie seemed to be enraged, letting out a roar and charging towards Bai Xiaofei.

Bai Xiaofei seized the opportunity and swung his spear at the corpse brother's neck—"Pfft!" The first strike sliced ​​the long neck in two!

The zombie's movements faltered, but before it fell, Bai Xiaofei swung his knife again. "Pfft—" The second slash cleaved the zombie in two from the shoulder down!

The corpse's mangled body convulsed on the ground. Bai Xiaofei raised his final blade and slashed down hard at its head—

"Crack!" The zombie brother was completely split into three pieces and stopped moving.

Luo Heng quietly followed behind Bai Xiaofei, and a memory suddenly popped into his mind:

"Wait a minute... In the story, didn't Little Deer cry because she was scared by a Calabash Brother zombie when she was hiding on the second floor?"

Wait… isn’t that Calabash Brother zombie me?!

He stopped abruptly, his expression becoming somewhat complicated:

"I've gotten so bad that I'm scaring kids? That's too awful!"

Luo Heng shook his head, secretly making up his mind:

"No, we can't do that. The little girl is already pitiful enough. I have to go see her, at least to make sure she's not scared (bullshit)."

He strode into the teaching building, easily made his way to the staff lounge on the second floor, stood at the door, and knocked.

From inside came the little deer's sweet, childish voice: "Uncle, speak quickly, or the little deer won't open the door!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng couldn't help but want to laugh, but in order to avoid being discovered by Xiao Lu, he suppressed his laughter and continued knocking on the door.

He tapped twice, paused deliberately for a moment, and then tapped twice more lightly.

The little deer inside was clearly flustered; her voice rose an octave:

"There's no one inside! There's really no one inside! You'd better get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Heng could no longer hold back and chuckled softly.

"Haha, this kid is quite clever!"

He covered his mouth with his hand, trying to suppress his laughter, but inwardly he couldn't help but sigh:

"Are all the main characters' kids this funny? She's even funnier than Bai Xiaofei!"

He stood outside the door, not knocking again, but turned and leaned against it, quietly watching over the fawn to ensure its safety.

"Anyway, Bai Xiaofei will be down soon. I'll wait for him to pick up the little guy before I leave!"

The little deer inside was still trembling on the bed, but seeing that there was no more movement outside, it muttered softly again:

"Huh, is the monster gone? But why are there no footsteps?"

Hearing Xiaolu's words, Luo Heng couldn't help but smile again. Then he mischievously knocked on the door, scaring Xiaolu back to bed where she hugged her pillow and huddled up.
