Corpse Brother: From Calabash Brothers to Corpse Emperor

Just as Bai Xiaofei was struggling with the Ultraman zombie, a panting survivor rushed over from the other side of the street.

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of Ultraman Corpse Brother.

It turned around abruptly and let out a low growl.

He then lunged at the survivor in a comical yet threatening manner.

Luo Heng was initially watching the show, but when he saw the survivor's face clearly, his lips twitched again:

"Isn't that the selfie addict who just took a picture with me? Is there really no one left on this set? Why is he here again?"

Sure enough, the Ultraman zombie pounced on the survivor and tried to bite him.

However, because it was wearing a heavy Ultraman headgear, the Corpse Brother couldn't bite anyone at all.

It could only open its mouth in vain, scratching and making suffocating "crackling" sounds.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaofei instantly understood the problem:

"So it couldn't bite because it was wearing a hood! This zombie probably hasn't eaten, so it's a weak zombie!"

The survivors were initially terrified, their faces turning pale, thinking they were about to die.

It turned out that Ultraman Corpse Brother couldn't bite him at all; his actions were more comical than a threat.

He quickly came to his senses, and his fear turned into excitement.

"Haha, it was all just a bluff!"

He got up, dusted himself off, and turned around to see Luo Heng standing behind the ruins. His eyes lit up.

"Hey, isn't this the same corpse from before? What a coincidence, how did it end up here?"

A tremendous storm surged through Luo Heng's heart in an instant:

"You recognized me even when I was pretending to be a corpse?! This person is targeting me specifically!"

But he dared not move and could only remain in the "corpse position," hoping the other party would leave soon.

However, the selfie addict has no such awareness whatsoever.

He grabbed Ultraman Corpse Brother and struck various funny poses.

Then they moved closer to Luo Heng and arranged the two zombies into a bizarre "zombie brothers" pose.

Then, quite pleased with himself, he took several photos.

Luo Heng's inner rage was about to erupt:

"Have you taken enough pictures?!"

Can't you even give the zombies a modicum of dignity?!

I can't move right now, but the first thing I'll do is to you!

Just then, Xiao Hui finally came out of Huichuntang, her face full of exhaustion and vigilance.

She spotted these strange scenes immediately, frowned, and shouted to the survivors:

"What are you all doing? Run! A huge group of zombies has escaped from that anime convention and will be here soon!"

Xiao Hui raised her gun, aimed it at the corpse outside Huichuntang, and said with her last strength:

"I can't run anymore. I'll cover you with my gun, you guys get out of here!"

The survivor, who was about to continue taking pictures, stopped abruptly upon hearing Xiaohui's words and slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, I was so excited just now that I completely forgot there was a huge group of zombies behind me!"

He quickly put away his phone and was about to run away.

However, the next second, a large scallion flew from afar and pierced the survivor's head with perfect accuracy!

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed out, the survivor's body stiffened, his eyes still somewhat dazed, before he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Bai Xiaofei, Xiao Hui, and Luo Heng, who was pretending to be dead at the door, were all stunned.

Everyone turned their heads at the same time, looking in the direction from which the scallion had flown—

A group of zombies dressed in all sorts of outrageous cosplay outfits were seen rushing towards them.

"Holy crap, what are these things?" Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but shout.

This group of cosplaying zombies has a rather bizarre lineup:

There's a Luffy-themed zombie wearing a straw hat, and a Chopper-themed zombie with blue antlers on its head.

There's also a Hatsune Miku zombie dressed in a sailor uniform and holding a microphone...

The various cosplay costumes paired with the zombie's terrifying face create a bizarre and chilling effect.

Seeing this scene, Luo Heng was completely dumbfounded and quickly adjusted his posture to pretend to be dead.

"I'm a zombie too, but I'm scared too! What if these things really catch up and mistake me for an alien?"

Bai Xiaofei stared dumbfounded at the group of strangely dressed zombies, inwardly muttering to himself:

"Has this cosplay convention spread to the zombie world? Luffy, Chopper, Hatsune Miku... This is just too outrageous!"

As the horde of cosplaying zombies drew ever closer, Xiao Hui stamped her feet in panic: "Run! These zombies are more dangerous than the ordinary ones!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaofei immediately realized what was happening, picked up Xiao Hui, who was already exhausted, and ran away.

Although he had consumed the enhancement agent and possessed astonishing speed, he still couldn't help but shout:

"What the hell is this place? Even the Corpse Brother cosplayer is here! Is Ultraman King going to come after us next?!"

The enhancer made Bai Xiaofei's speed far exceed that of ordinary zombies.

The cosplay zombies chased after them desperately for a few steps, but were eventually left far behind.

Just as Luo Heng was about to continue pretending to be dead, he suddenly noticed that the Pikachu zombie that Bai Xiaofei had previously knocked away was chasing after him.

Moreover, its speed is astonishing, far exceeding the movement speed of ordinary zombies.

"Holy crap, does this thing have an enhancer too? It's even faster than me!"

Luo Heng's eyes widened, a chill running down his spine, and he quickly buried himself even deeper.

He secretly prayed that Pikachu Corpse Brother wouldn't notice him.

Ahead, Bai Xiaofei was carrying Xiao Hui and running wildly, the side effects of the drug causing blood to seep from the corner of his mouth.

A feeling of dizziness gradually appeared in my body.

He glanced back at the Pikachu zombie that had caught up with him, and his expression darkened.

"No, it's too fast! If we don't take it down first, the other zombies will definitely catch up!"

Just then, Bai Xiaofei suddenly spotted an abandoned coffee shop by the roadside.

A pointed fork stood at the entrance, like a decoration.

His mind raced, and he immediately made a decisive move, leaping to the side of the fork.

He pulled it out, held it with both hands, and turned to face the Pikachu Corpse Brother.

"Go, Forkball!"

Bai Xiaofei roared and used all his strength to stab the fork into the chest of the Pikachu Corpse Brother.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit him, and Bai Xiaofei covered his head.

The dizziness intensified, and my steps became unsteady.

He glanced up at the approaching horde of zombies behind him, and a wave of panic washed over him.

"Oh no, the side effects of this medicine are too strong!"

"If the zombies catch up with us now, we're really doomed!"

He looked down at the Pikachu zombie lying on the ground, still baring its teeth, and felt another wave of annoyance.

"This guy is too difficult to deal with! He's been stabbed through the chest, and he's still not dead!"

Just then, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky, and a dazzling bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

With a deafening roar, it slashed straight at Pikachu Corpse Brother!

A blinding white light instantly enveloped the entire area, and even Bai Xiaofei instinctively closed his eyes.

He felt a current run through his skin.

"boom--!"

A deafening clap of thunder echoed through the air. Bai Xiaofei was stunned for a few seconds before slowly opening his eyes.

He saw Pikachu lying on the ground, the iron fork on its chest flashing with charred firelight.

The Pikachu Corpse's body was completely charred, emitting a burnt smell, clearly indicating that it was beyond dead.

Bai Xiaofei rubbed his eyes and muttered, "What's going on... Pikachu's ultimate move, Thunder?!"

He immediately realized what was happening, looked at the iron fork stuck in Pikachu's chest, and suddenly understood:

"Ah, so it's the effect of a lightning rod! That lightning struck with incredible accuracy!"

Bai Xiaofei took a breath and managed to stand up straight.

However, the side effects of the medication still left him feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

He patted Xiaohui's bottom:

"We've taken care of this one, but there's a bunch of cosplay zombies chasing us. Let's run!"

Not far away, Luo Heng witnessed everything from a corner, his heart filled with indescribable complex emotions.

He stared at the Pikachu zombie, charred beyond recognition by lightning, and murmured:

"This guy's death was really outrageous... he was struck by lightning?"

Seeing that there were no other zombies around, Luo Heng slowly crawled out from the corner after confirming that it was safe.

He cautiously approached the Pikachu zombie that had been charred by lightning.

The aroma of roasted chicken filled the air, making him swallow hard.

"Although this thing died a ridiculous death, it's now food."

Luo Heng took a deep breath, suppressed his resistance, and began to gnaw on the Pikachu zombie.

The flesh of the zombie struck by lightning was charred and crispy, with a unique burnt aroma.

Surprisingly, Luo Heng found it not difficult to swallow.

He quickly finished off most of the corpse, wiped his mouth, and stood up to stretch his limbs.

"Yeah, it tastes okay."

He muttered to himself, but then froze—

There were no obvious changes in the body, no new power flowed in, and the movements did not become more flexible.

"What happened? Did you eat too little? Or did it burn and therefore lose its effectiveness?"

Luo Heng scratched his head, looking puzzled, but didn't think much of it. He shook his hand and prepared to chase after Bai Xiaofei and the others.

Just as he turned around, he suddenly remembered something.

He immediately stopped and quickly scanned his surroundings.

It finally stopped at the "battlefield" of the selfie maniac who had previously been impaled on a green onion.

"Survivor!" Luo Heng muttered to himself as he ran over quickly.

Sure enough, the survivors' bodies had already been devoured by the other zombies, leaving no trace.

All that remained was a bloodstain and a few scattered pieces of cloth.

However, next to the bloodstains, Luo Heng saw a discarded cell phone.

"This guy……"

Luo Heng bent down to pick up the phone, pressed the screen, and found that there was no lock screen password.

He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately opened the photo album, where he indeed saw the unflattering photos that the survivors had taken of him.

"This is a damn embarrassing history, it absolutely cannot be preserved!"

Veins bulged on Luo Heng's face as he rapidly deleted all the eerie photos.

After deleting the files, Luo Heng looked at his phone screen, hesitated for a moment, and initially wanted to take the phone away, but then he thought:

"If this thing suddenly goes off and attracts someone, wouldn't I be exposed?"

Thinking of this, he decisively turned off his phone and casually tossed it into the nearby ruins.

"Anyway, I don't need it now, so I'd rather not cause myself any trouble."

After finishing all this, Luo Heng clapped his hands, readjusted himself, looked in the direction Bai Xiaofei had fled, and grinned:

"Alright, main characters, here I come! Hopefully, I can pick up some good stuff this time!"

He took a deep breath, strode off, and quickly caught up.
