After knocking "Egg Boy" unconscious, the corpse slowly turned around again.

Although the speed is slow, it gives people an irresistible sense of pressure, like a heavy hydraulic press.

It was as if nothing in the world could stop him.

Let alone stopping the corpse, Zhao Youliang and the other three were unable to move themselves at this point.

Not only can he not move, he can't even speak.

An invisible force binds and restrains them tightly.

Under the desperate gazes of the group, the corpse, dragging half of the town mayor and his son's bodies, walked step by step to Brother Chen, ignoring their wailing and screams.

When their eyes met, Brother Chen could even smell the decaying odor emanating from the other person.

The corpse stretched out a withered hand and slowly reached for Brother Chen's neck.

"It's over!"

Brother Chen closed his eyes, giving up the futile struggle.

Images of his wife and children flashed rapidly through his mind.

"My dear wife, I'm so sorry!"

"I'm gone, you must take good care of yourself and our child!"

The corpse didn't care about Brother Chen's lingering feelings; the hand gripping his neck suddenly tightened its grip.

Brother Chen's face immediately turned deathly pale and his eyes rolled back, clearly indicating that he could no longer breathe.

Just then, Chang Jie, who had just been knocked unconscious by a punch, woke up—though not entirely conscious, he floated up unsteadily.

Under everyone's gaze, it floated over the corpse's head and landed with a soft thud... landing on Zhao Youliang's head.

"My parents are dragons, but I am a maggot. Where can I go to seek justice?"

Surprisingly, after Chang Jie re-possessed Zhao Youliang, he was able to speak, although he still couldn't move.

He quickly shouted at the corpse, "No!"

"You can't hurt Brother Chen, he's a good man!"

After Zhao Youliang finished shouting, something surprising happened.

The corpse actually stopped moving, tilted its head and looked at Zhao Youliang, as if it was thinking about something or recalling something.

After a moment, he nodded slightly, and not only did he release Brother Chen, but he also reached out his withered hand to erase the blood-red word "death" behind him.

However, while erasing the character for "death," they rewrote a large "one."

After doing all of the above, the corpse stopped all movement and just stared quietly into Zhao Youliang's eyes.

A mysterious feeling washed over him, and Zhao Youliang actually understood the meaning of the corpse.

He quickly nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I understand!"

Upon hearing this, the corpse immediately turned around, grabbed the mayor and his son by the hair, and dragged them away along the road.

All that remained were two long trails of blood and the town mayor and his son's shrill screams.

Amidst the screams, Fatty Ma's last words rang out: "Zhao... Zhao Youliang, I remember now!"

"He killed me! He killed me!!"

The "he" that Fatty Ma was referring to was, of course, the corpse...

Once the body was completely gone, Zhao Youliang and the other three finally returned to normal.

They looked at each other, still shaken, and remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't until the clock struck three in the morning that the four of them finally came to their senses.

Overwhelmed with fright, Xiao Li collapsed onto a stool, panting heavily.

"Quantum, quantum, what exactly was that thing just now?"

Zhao Youliang shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know either... Brother Chen, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, Quantum, thank you!"

"You saved my life!"

As he spoke, Brother Chen hugged Zhao Youliang tightly.

Zhao Youliang was a little embarrassed: "Brother, you're too kind. Actually, I didn't do anything."

"Sis, are you alright too?"

Despite her strong character, Sister-in-law Yingchun was ultimately a woman.

His face was still pale and his body was trembling slightly.

Hearing Zhao Youliang speak to him finally calmed him down a bit.

With a clatter, she threw the kitchen knife she had been holding onto the ground and burst into tears.

"Oh my gosh, quantum, that scared me to death!"

Seeing this, Brother Chen quickly gestured to Zhao Youliang, signaling him to go and comfort him.

Zhao Youliang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to hold the beautiful widow in his arms.

He simply handed the other person a napkin to wipe their tears.

"Sister, you're okay now, don't cry, it's all over."

"Mmm!" Sister Yingchun replied softly, wiping away her tears as she spoke with a hint of embarrassment.

"Brother Chen, Quantum, don't tell anyone that I was scared to tears, it's too embarrassing."

The three survivors smiled upon hearing this.

Brother Chen even offered words of comfort: "Who would dare to laugh at your little sister? You're really strong!"

"My sister-in-law always says that if you two switched places, she wouldn't be able to handle it!"

Once Sister Yingchun had completely calmed down, she quietly asked Zhao Youliang.

"Quantum, what was the meaning behind that strange person (corpse) just now?"

Why add another 'one' after Brother Chen's name?

"Just tell him what he said and say you understand."

Zhao Youliang smiled bitterly: "Sister, I don't know why I understood what the corpse meant."

"He told me that he could promise to let three people go, and Brother Chen was the first one."

"So they wrote a 'one' after the eldest brother."

"Oh, I see..." The unlicensed taxi driver, Xiao Li, nodded repeatedly. "Wait, Quantum, you just said he promised you he could let three people go?"

"So how many people does he want to kill in total?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang's face turned grave: "Nine out of ten houses in this town are empty!"

Zhao Youliang's words struck the other three like a thunderbolt, leaving them stunned for a long time.

"That monster is so fierce? What did we do to it?"

"Besides, I'm certain that when I drove to Mad Dog's Hollow, I wasn't carrying him!"

After Xiao Li reminded them, Zhao Youliang and the others realized the cause of the incident.

He quickly asked, "Xiao Li, are you sure? Are you sure the one who gave you that dirty money wasn't that monster from before!"

The matter was of great importance, and Xiao Li thought carefully for a while before answering.

"It's certain, absolutely certain! It's definitely not him!!"

"Although I didn't see the face clearly, it was a young man I pulled!"

"Although that monster is all gone, you can still vaguely tell that it was originally an old man."

"They are definitely not the same person!"

Seeing how certain Xiao Li was, Zhao Youliang couldn't help but feel puzzled.

That's strange.

"If he didn't provoke the monster from earlier, why did he kill everyone in the town?"

"Brother Chen, do you think that monster we just saw might have been caused by the ancestors of the town?"

"Just like those three evil spirits from a few days ago, they've all come back to take revenge on the indigenous people."

Brother Chen shook his head: "To be honest, if our ancestors' enemies were to come back to life and seek revenge, our families would all have a special feeling."

"That monster just now was definitely not it."

And so the situation reached a stalemate once again.

Especially during times like these, Zhao Youliang misses Manager Sun and Granny Wenmi even more.

If those two elderly people were still alive, at least there would be someone to discuss things with...
