Corpse Brother: From Calabash Brothers to Corpse Emperor

Luo Heng thought that Xiao Hui would leave immediately after checking him and finding no reaction.

Surprisingly, the woman slowly approached him, her eyes filled with suspicion.

Luo Heng's mind was beginning to break down:

"Are you checking if I'm a certified sample of the Corpse Brother?!"

"Hurry up and get out of here! Stop playing around!"

To make matters worse, as Xiao Hui got closer, the zombies wandering around were also gradually drawn to her.

Luo Heng lay on the ground, looking utterly hopeless.

"Big sister, you've attracted all the zombies here..."

Even though the zombies didn't eat their own kind at first, I was scared! I'm still a human being at heart!

As the number of zombies gathered, Xiao Hui finally realized that something was wrong.

He decisively turned and ran, firing at the zombie as he retreated.

After several gunshots, several zombies were knocked down, one of which landed right next to Luo Heng.

Luo Heng was so frightened that he dared not move, and could only continue to play dead, silently praying in his heart:

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't look back!"

Fortunately, Xiao Hui didn't look at him again.

She quickly retreated, and most of the zombies around her followed her.

Luo Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a chill run down his spine—

The zombie next to him, which had been shot down, began to struggle to get up.

"Fuck!"

Luo Heng's heart tightened, and he looked around.

They discovered that the other zombies that had been shot down had gotten back up and were staggering as they chased after Xiaohui.

Only this one remained lying on the ground, seemingly struck in a vital spot; its movements were sluggish, and it couldn't get up at all.

"good chance!"

Luo Heng's eyes lit up. Ignoring his fear, he quickly and slowly moved his body closer to the fallen corpse.

As he moved, he secretly encouraged himself: "I may be a weakling, but this guy is even weaker!"

If I can handle it, maybe I can become a little bit stronger!

Upon getting closer, Luo Heng discovered that the zombie was indeed seriously injured.

His head appeared to have been punched through, but he had not yet completely lost the ability to move.

The other person was staring blankly at the ground, struggling to crawl.

Luo Heng squatted down next to the fallen zombie, his whole body frozen like a statue.

He stared at the struggling corpse on the ground, a fierce internal struggle raging within him.

"What's the difference between this and cannibalism?!"

"I'm human! Even though I've become a zombie, I'm still human at heart!"

Luo Heng clenched his fists tightly, forcibly suppressing the instinctive urge.

But reason told him that this place could turn into a battlefield at any moment.

If I don't do something soon, even if I manage to escape Bai Xiaofei today...

Before long, they too will die in the mouths of those even stronger zombie brothers.

A vague memory of the plot involuntarily surfaced in his mind:

"Those zombie brothers behind will all evolve and eat their own kind to increase their strength!"

If I keep acting this weak, the zombies will eat me up without the main characters even lifting a finger!

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Luo Heng's forehead.

His gaze fell once again on the zombie brother who was lying on the ground struggling.

The other party seemed to have completely lost the ability to resist, and could only gasp for breath intermittently.

"There's no other way... If I don't eat him, I'll die here."

Luo Heng gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and forced himself to comfort himself:

"Let's just pretend... let's just pretend we're eating pork! He's no longer human; strictly speaking, he's just a zombie..."

After mentally preparing himself, Luo Heng took a deep breath.

Trembling, it bent down and bit down hard on the zombie's hand.

The expected nausea didn't come; instead, an unexpected smell arrived.

—The flavor of tender, smooth chicken!

Holy crap...it's actually delicious?

Luo Heng was taken aback, and then suddenly realized that his thoughts were a bit scary.

But before he could think about it, a warm energy surged into his body from where he had bitten down, instantly engulfing his entire body.

His limbs felt warm, and his hands and feet, which had been stiff as iron rods, gradually became more flexible.

Luo Heng stood up and stretched, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he could now run and jump.

The movements no longer faltered as before.

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power, and couldn't help but laugh:

"This is so effective! I wish I hadn't hesitated for so long!"

However, he quickly stopped smiling and looked at the zombie on the ground that he had bitten, feeling somewhat complicated.

"Although I don't want to eat, I have no other choice but to go this far in order to survive..."

Luo Heng swallowed hard and patted his chest: "It's okay, it's okay, just think of it as leveling up!"

Luo Heng swallowed the last bite of the zombie brother's "chicken meat," wiped his mouth, and stood up to stretch his limbs.

Sure enough, the stiffness I felt earlier had completely disappeared.

Now my movements are incredibly smooth, and I can even run.

"This effect is amazing!" Luo Heng tried jumping a couple of times and felt much more relaxed.

But looking down at his own decaying, grayish-white body, he couldn't help but frown.

"However, the appearance hasn't improved at all."

It's still so terrifying. Oh well, at least I can move.

Just as Luo Heng was sighing, some details of the plot suddenly flashed through his mind.

He patted his head:

"Wait, now Xiao Hui should be running into Bai Xiaofei who has drunk the enhancer."

Bai Xiaofei drank the enhancement agent, but the penguin zombie broke the antidote.

So Bai Xiaofei will go to Huichuntang to find medicinal herbs! And that's where he'll meet Xiao Hui! This is a key plot point!

Thinking of this, Luo Heng's eyes lit up: "This opportunity cannot be missed!"

Bai Xiaofei will definitely be fighting monsters next, and I can scavenge the loot then; maybe I can even get some good stuff!

He glanced at the arrow hovering beside him, which indeed pointed in the distance, where some faint sounds of chaos could be heard.

Luo Heng didn't dare to delay for a moment, and quickly took off running in the direction of the arrow.

"Bai Xiaofei, Bai Xiaofei, hurry up and cause trouble! I, Luo Heng, will just pick up the trash in the back!"

Along the way, Luo Heng silently planned his next move as he ran:

"Bai Xiaofei drank the enhancement agent first; that stuff is useless against my zombie brother."

After the penguin zombie was killed, the antidote also broke.

The key is the medicinal herbs later on; they might be able to strengthen me!

If we could grab one or two items while we were at it, wouldn't we make a fortune?

As he pondered this, Luo Heng unconsciously quickened his pace.

His increased agility made running much easier for him.

We also encountered a few ordinary zombies wandering around along the way.

But Luo Heng was no longer afraid of them and simply bypassed them to continue charging forward.

"The script for the main characters belongs to them. All I have to do is pick up the scraps and survive until the end."

Luo Heng gasped for breath while secretly encouraging himself.

The location indicated by the arrow gradually became clearer, and Luo Heng heard gunshots coming closer.

And then there was Bai Xiaofei's distinctive shout: "This guy's here! I need to find a place to hide quickly and wait for my chance to make my move!"
