Corpse Brother: From Calabash Brothers to Corpse Emperor

Following the arrow's direction, Luo Heng arrived at a nearby hotel.

He stood at the doorway, surveying the building before him, and the scene gradually surfaced in his mind:

"Oh, right, Bai Xiaofei had a fever due to the side effects of the medicine, so he took Xiao Hui into the cold storage room and then passed out."

He recalled the rest of the story and frowned:

"It seems like there's nothing to pick up here... I can't exactly crawl into the cold storage room, can I?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Heng shook his head helplessly and quietly left the hotel.

"It seems this place is no longer my concern. I should go to Huichuntang instead. Bai Xiaofei took so much medicine before, maybe there's still some useful left."

Luo Heng returned to Huichuntang, and was immediately stunned after pushing open the door and entering.

The various medicinal herbs that used to fill the counter have now been almost all swept away by Bai Xiaofei, leaving only some scraps and fragments scattered in the corner.

"Is this protagonist a sweeping machine? It didn't even leave behind the dregs of medicine?" Luo Heng was speechless as he squatted down to examine the residue:

"However, something is better than nothing. I should give it a try. Maybe these things can make me stronger."

He picked up a small piece of medicinal herb, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and almost choked on the bitter taste.

After forcing himself to swallow it, Luo Heng held his breath and sensed the changes in his body, only to discover—

There was absolutely no response.

"No use?" Luo Heng frowned and tried several more residues, even the moldy scraps, but still no effect.

He sat down on the ground helplessly, covered his face, and sighed.

"Forget it, there's really no bargain to be found here. Bai Xiaofei has already eaten all the medicine... I'm not even worthy of eating the dregs!"

Luo Heng leaned against the counter, looking up at the dilapidated ceiling, silently complaining to himself:

"As expected of the protagonist, a resource harvester. The promised opportunities never even came to my zombie brother."

After resting for a while, Luo Heng stood up, dusted himself off, and perked up:

"Alright, this place is completely hopeless. Let's see where the arrow points. I guess I'll have to stick with the main characters!"

Luo Heng squatted in the abandoned Huichun Hall, recalling the chaotic situation.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, his expression instantly turning serious:

"Wait a minute... at this point in the story, the Corpse King Long You should be about to be resurrected!"

He tried hard to recall the details of the plot, and scenes gradually emerged in his mind—one…

On the other side, in the polluted water treatment plant, the calm surface of the water was no longer calm.

Because the blood of the Corpse King had entered the water, all living things underwent drastic changes, and the fish turned into bizarre Corpse Brother Fish.

Their swollen bodies are covered with black scales, sharp teeth protrude from their mouths, and their eyes are empty yet bloodthirsty.

Deep underwater, a huge coffin lay silently, surrounded by dark red patterns that resembled sealing chains.

Inside the coffin, low-pitched infrasound waves emanated, penetrating the water and covering the entire area.

Affected by the infrasound, the body of a corpse fish convulsed violently, as if controlled by some force.

A narrow slit opened in its belly, and a tentacle covered with suckers emerged from the slit, slowly reaching towards the sealing nails on the coffin.

The tentacles wrapped around the sealing nail, and with a forceful pull—"click—"

The first sealing nail was removed.

Then came the second, the third, until the last sealing nail was pulled out.

The entire coffin suddenly began to shake, and a dark red aura surged out, directly impacting the water and instantly staining a large area red.

As the seal was broken, the Chaos Lock was ripped open by the tentacles of the Corpse Brother Fish, and a deafening roar echoed from within the coffin—

"Roar!"

The next second, the coffin lid was suddenly flung off, and a gaunt but imposing figure burst out from it.

That was the Corpse King Long You! His body was as dry as tree bark, and his eyes were sunken, yet his scarlet pupils exuded endless majesty and bloodlust.

The resurrected Corpse King glanced at the surrounding Corpse Fish, his eyes filled with ferocity.

He instantly pounced on the nearest corpse fish, opened his mouth and bit down hard on its body, greedily sucking its blood.

As blood flowed in, Long You's originally dry skin began to become plump.

His pale face regained some vitality, and the runes began to emit a faint light, becoming increasingly clear.

His long, pale hair drifted like mist in the flowing water, making him look even more terrifying.

In the end, the Corpse Fish was sucked dry and became a desiccated corpse, floating on the water's surface.

The Corpse King Long You stood up, his golden eyes coldly scanning his surroundings, as if announcing his return.

"Let me see the world a thousand years from now!"

Recalling this scene, Luo Heng couldn't help but shudder:

"This is outrageous! With the Zombie King resurrected, the plot is about to enter hell mode. How long can a low-level zombie like me survive?"

He stood up and stretched, gritting his teeth as he muttered to himself:

"No, we need to be more careful from now on. The resurrection of the Corpse King Long You will definitely make the Corpse Brothers evolve faster, and he can also control the Corpse Brothers."

I have to seize every opportunity to snag a bargain! Otherwise, I really won't survive until the end of the series!

Luo Heng patted his face to clear his head, then continued walking forward in the direction indicated by the arrow, secretly praying that he could still find a glimmer of hope.
