Corpse Brother: From Calabash Brothers to Corpse Emperor
Chapter 20 Mother Deer
Luo Heng looked at the arrow that had appeared out of thin air in front of him, pointing to Bai Xiaofei's location.
He stared at it for a while, then, recalling the plot, suddenly slapped his forehead:
"By the way, they should have escaped to the basement level by now."
The following scene flashed through his mind:
Bai Xiaofei and his group will encounter Xiaolu's deceased mother at the exit on the first basement level.
Tragically, the fawn mother is controlled by the spider zombie and eventually transforms into a terrifying spider zombie herself.
Luo Heng sighed and muttered to himself with a complicated expression:
"Oh, poor little deer, this plot is too cruel to her."
With that in mind, he quickened his crawling speed, following the arrow, and hurried towards Bai Xiaofei and the others' location.
As Luo Heng dragged himself toward the basement, he tried hard to recall the details of the plot.
The story unfolding on the other side flashed through his mind:
The fifth squad of the Yanhuang Special Abilities Team was dispatched to the library to carry out a rescue mission. Xie Luohan first sent his teammate Chameleon to sneak into the library in order to find out the movements of the zombies.
However, the chameleon was extremely unlucky. Not long after it sneaked in, it was discovered and swallowed by another giant chameleon zombie.
"Tsk, one person is already missing before the fight even starts. It's definitely scripted," Luo Heng thought to himself.
Subsequently, taking advantage of the Corpse Brother's inattention, Evil Arhat and his remaining teammates broke through the wall at the southwest corner of the library and quietly sneaked into the building.
The entire operation plan seemed meticulous, but as the plot unfolded, a major problem still arose—
They chose to split into two groups.
Luo Heng shook his head, sighing helplessly:
"Split up? Classic suicidal move, this script is too reckless with human life."
As expected, the plot unfolded as predicted.
When Xie Luohan was acting alone, he happened to run into Bai Wusheng.
Not long after the two exchanged blows, Evil Arhat was beheaded by Bai Wusheng with a single stroke.
Bai Wusheng even used Xie Luohan's phone to strike a victory pose, took a selfie, and uploaded it to Xie Luohan's WeChat Moments.
"This guy... he's dead and he's still using his phone to mock people. Bai Wusheng is a complete madman."
Luo Heng recalled this scene, a complex expression appearing on his face.
At the same time, Gui Gun was not spared either.
He was seriously injured in the battle with the other zombies and eventually had to hide in the stairwell, panting heavily as he tried to buy time.
As Luo Heng recalled, he muttered to himself, "Even the Yanhuang team isn't completely invincible. In this scene, the Fifth Squad was almost completely wiped out. Even the main team suffered a pretty bad fate."
Thinking about this, he became even more certain that he had to act carefully and must not act rashly.
Following the plot is important, but if you don't consider your own abilities at all, you'll become cannon fodder in no time.
Luo Heng dragged his tail along as he hurried along, recalling another scene that left him speechless.
Among the survivors in the library are Bai Xiaofei's cousin, Kaiweinai, and his quirky team, the "Youth Volunteer Anti-Pickpocketing Squad"—
Evil Sister, Xiao Jie, and 1+2.
Luo Heng remembered that these guys were in an extremely dangerous place, yet they all survived thanks to their outrageous actions, which was simply baffling.
When the appetizer suggested escaping, she proposed a method to "attract the zombie's attention," which involved taking a bunch of cosmetics as bait and throwing them into a corner.
This action did attract the attention of the librarian, Zombie Brother, but unfortunately, the other survivors in the library were discovered by Zombie Brother when they tried to escape.
Even more outrageous, while the other survivors were desperately running away, the team that brought the milk stood still!
"These guys are practically born villains..." Luo Heng remarked.
As expected, the librarian zombie was drawn to the other survivors and began to slaughter them one by one.
Meanwhile, the team that brought the appetizer milk quietly slipped away in another direction amidst the chaos.
"So, all that cosmetics to attract attention is just a smokescreen; the real bait is someone else!"
Luo Heng couldn't help but shake his head:
"These guys are really ruthless. Everyone else is dead, but they all survived."
The story isn't over yet. As they successfully escaped, Xiao Jie suddenly encountered another zombie at the stairwell and was instantly killed.
This almost ruined the team's plan, but fortunately they encountered Ghost Stick, who was resting seriously injured at the stairwell.
Despite being badly injured, Ghost Stick still managed to save Appetizer and the others, leading them to escape from the library.
"Although Gui Gun is ruthless, he's actually quite reliable when it matters."
Luo Heng nodded, recalling these moments, his heart filled with emotion:
"As for the appetizers and the others, their actions really gave me goosebumps. Isn't this the ultimate example of 'selling out teammates'?"
He shook his head and muttered to himself:
"Sure enough, the main characters all have the protagonist's halo, so they can survive no matter how outrageous their story is."
And the other cannon fodder, no matter how hard they try, can only become stepping stones.
With this in mind, Luo Heng quickened his crawling pace, secretly resolving to find an opportunity to improve his strength no matter what.
That way, you can survive a few more episodes in the story; otherwise, one day you might become someone else's "bait."
When Luo Heng arrived at the exit of the first basement level, he saw Bai Xiaofei and the others being chased around by the zombie-like fawn mother.
Although the zombie-like body moved stiffly, its speed was astonishing, relentlessly pressing forward and leaving Bai Xiaofei and his companions in a sorry state.
Suddenly, the little deer mother, who was wearing high heels, slipped and fell hard to the ground in a very comical manner.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Xiaofei quickly led Xiaohui and Xiaolu into a nearby supermarket and hid there temporarily.
"This is what you call a plot-driven kill, right?"
Luo Heng watched from afar and shook his head:
"Everything is developing in the direction of the main characters' script."
After the Corpse Brother and Bai Xiaofei left, Luo Heng cautiously ran to the exit. As soon as he got close, he was stunned by the scene before him—
A pile of human corpses was haphazardly stacked together, emitting a strong stench of blood and decay.
The corpse was surrounded by spider webs and countless tiny insects, clearly indicating that it had been parasitized by insects and was waiting for its chance to become a zombie.
Luo Heng frowned, his heart heavy as if a stone were pressing down on it.
He knew that these people might have been able to escape alive, but now they could only remain in this dark corner, becoming materials for the zombie transformation.
"I want to grow, but eating these human corpses... I'd better not."
Luo Heng muttered to himself, sighed, and then raised his hand, where bolts of lightning gathered in his palm.
"Crack!"
Lightning ripped through the dim space and struck the pile of corpses.
As lightning continued to strike, the smell of burning filled the air, the corpse was gradually burned, and even the parasitic insects were electrocuted and scattered in all directions.
As Luo Heng manipulated the lightning, he whispered:
"Although I can't save you, at least I can let you leave this world with a clean conscience, so you don't have to become those ugly monsters again."
He stopped, stood there silently watching the burned corpse for a while, and sighed softly:
"I hope you can rest in peace, and that you left as human beings, not as monsters."
After saying that, Luo Heng turned and left, but a complex emotion lingered in his heart.
He knew that not everyone could survive in this world, and he himself was just a small figure struggling to survive in the cracks.
