Chapter 147: Baby Corpse

Rong Deju led his men away. Lan Shiruo asked the men to guard the city wall and keep an eye on Ao Chengyi and Xia Xun, and then she rushed down with the girls.

Below the tower, a chaotic battle erupted, completely devoid of order. Supernatural powers, bare hands, cold weapons, firearms—whatever worked best was used. The corpses, like madmen, charged forward, crushing many of their companions and injuring many humans as well.

The mutant birds are like indestructible cockroaches. They will run away after being pecked. They are extremely annoying and hard to guard against. The psychics on the city walls are specifically designed to deal with the mutant birds, and there are also people standing on the tall buildings in the city.

Whether on the ground or in the air, the fight was fierce and intense.

The generals and ministers are like a victorious general, bearing the brunt of the attack, moving among the swarm of corpses and harvesting their heads.

Miaomiao was waving the iron ball. After her supernatural power advanced to the second level, the weight of the original iron ball could no longer meet her needs, so she asked Guo Zi to make her a new one. The ball had a big head and weighed two hundred pounds. There were many spikes on it. If the angle was right, the ball could explode in a row, and even the shattered pieces would not be recognized by their own parents.

Yunshui Yao, with vines, like an octopus with countless tentacles, directly wrapped around the neck of the corpse and smashed towards the mutant bird in the air. When they landed, both the mutant bird and the corpse landed on their heads, moving up and down like acrobats.

He Lian hid in the dark and shot arrows, specifically targeting the mutant birds that attacked her friends. The crossbow had been improved, and the arrow feathers were much shorter, only as long as a palm, and much sharper and more powerful. She shot them out with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound without stopping at all. With just a move of her ears, the arrows were fast, accurate and ruthless, and the birds had no way to escape.

Han Qingquan brandished his bone-chopping knife, slicing through anyone, from heaven to earth, with a single blow. He harvested heads expressionlessly, his face thick with murderous intent. If anyone rushed forward without much notice, he would slap them with a single blow, reducing them to headless corpses.

Zhang Yun found a new way to fight monsters: freezing necks. She released an icicle, freezing a row of necks. While the corpses weren't affected, it made it easier for her to use the club. A smash of the iron club shattered the cold, crisp necks thoroughly. This was inspired by Ao Chengyi smashing the red skirt. It worked perfectly. Although it added an extra step, the speed didn't decrease at all, and it became more and more effective the more she used it.

Lan Shiruo constantly wields her katana, pondering how to improve her abilities during every battle. However, her abilities remained unchanged from her previous life until her death, leading her to believe that her unique abilities were no more than they were today. One should be content; even if they can't be a combat aid, they are at least a life aid. Therefore, she diligently trains herself with cold weapons and improves her physical fitness to compensate for her shortcomings in abilities.

Now, when the samurai sword is swung, a cold gleam can be seen, and it can fight for hours without getting tired. When a large number of rotting corpses approach, they can surround them with a column of water, forming a safe zone, making it easier to chop off their heads without any worries.

From a distance, Lan Shiruo didn't move a step. She was the point, and within a half-meter radius, no rotten corpses approached her. But around her feet were heads, all of strange shapes.

The battle lasted for several hours and it was gradually getting dark. If they couldn't resolve it before nightfall, they would have no chance of winning.

Everyone looked tired, more than half of them were dead or injured, but the corpses were tireless. The number of mutant birds was huge, and they were fighting a guerrilla war. No matter how you looked at it, humans were at a disadvantage.

Rong Deju asked people with psychic abilities to search the entire city for the whereabouts of the rotting baby's corpse, but they couldn't find it after searching everywhere. However, the person had been identified.

Fei Xiao was the one who stole the rotting baby's corpse and caused a devastating blow to W City.

The other members of the Fei family had been tied up and taken to the city wall, but Fei Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

Rong Deju was anxious. The screams outside were getting sharper and sharper. W City was his lifeline and his life's work. He absolutely couldn't let it be destroyed. "Search! Dig deep for it!"

In the shanty area, Ruan Zi gave birth to a baby girl. At the moment when the corpses attacked, she was a small ball, as small as a kitten, and her voice was as weak as a kitten's meow. She lay on the broken bed covered in blood.

Ruan Zi was lying nearby, not knowing whether she was dead or alive. The others were standing there in strange stillness. Ruan Kui and the other six old men were killing the enemy outside and knew nothing about this place.

When Rong Deju led his men to search here, the people standing there moved, caring for the mother and the baby girl, and the smell of blood was extremely strong. Rong Deju did not think about it, frowned and glanced at them, and quickly left with his men, not noticing how stiff and deliberate these people's movements were.

He also didn't realize that after he left, these people turned into puppets again.

Fei Xiao came out from the pile of rubbish, his eyes full of gloom and death. He picked up the bloody little man and seemed strangely respectful and loving.

Walk up to the old woman in the corner and put the old woman's hand into the baby's mouth.

The baby girl had no teeth, but she could easily chew the old woman's palm, arm, other hand, leg, body, and finally the head filled with pain and fear.

The crying became louder, although still as small as that of a kitten.

The baby girl didn't continue, she needed to rest, after all, she was still a baby.

Fei Xiao stood by like a loyal guard, dazed as a puppet, but the gloom and deathly air on his body remained unchanged.

The people standing nearby couldn't move their bodies, but their other senses were all present. They stared at the scene in front of them with bloodshot eyes and tears falling uncontrollably, but they secretly hated themselves for being useless and unable to do anything.

Rong Deju came here and searched three times, but found nothing unusual. Everyone was very anxious. What should they do?

In a dark corner, the old woman, covered in dirt, stared at the shack with cloudy yet determined eyes. She ran out secretly. The baby girl's eyes moved, and the old woman spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unconscious.

"ah?"

Lebao in the space tilted his head, felt the familiar fluctuations, crawled around in the space twice with his little butt sticking out, and fell asleep with his little belly in the chicken coop where the old hen was laying eggs.

His eyeballs moved, as if he was really asleep.

The old lady lying on the ground moved, took a few deep breaths, and supported her body to crawl out.

The quiet baby girl's eyes moved again, and impatience appeared on her red and wrinkled little face.

An invisible force surged out, and everyone in the shack, including Fei Xiao, could not bear it and wailed, covering their heads.

I thought the old human was doomed to die, but I didn't expect that his power would be stopped halfway.

The baby girl opened her gray eyes, a moment of confusion flashed across her face, and then anger came over her, and she increased her strength.

Lebao's belly deflated when he inhaled, and expanded again when he exhaled. His little chubby face looked a little pale.

One was chasing and the other was blocking, the two forces were in a stalemate. The old lady was completely unaware and dragged her body to crawl out.

She was lucky. As soon as she left the shanty town, she met Rong Deju, who was searching for her for the fourth time.

When Rong Deju saw that it was a member of the Fei family, he was furious and was about to raise his gun.

"Fei Xiao, here, here."

Rong Deju paused, leaned closer and asked anxiously, "Do you know where Fei Xiao is?"

"In, in the shack where the baby was born, the baby is, is, a monster." The old lady said with her last bit of strength and passed away.

Rong Deju frowned, "Find someone to put her away. We'll talk about it after this is over. Everyone else, follow me to the shack. Quick."
