She saw a burly man staring at her expressionlessly.
"Don't move, police." With a click, Bai Zilin cocked her pistol.
The big man completely ignored her warning and slowly walked forward, but his steps were unsteady, as if he had some difficulty moving.
“If you move forward, we’ll shoot.” Bai Zilin remained tense and continued to warn.
However, the other party ignored the warning and continued forward.
"Bang..." Bai Zilin fired a shot upwards, even now, she did not forget the rules, firing a warning shot.
However, the other party completely ignored her. She gritted her teeth, gripped the gun in her hand tightly, and fired a shot into the other party's knee.
The big man stumbled, slowing his forward movement, but it was only a temporary setback. After a brief pause, he continued walking forward.
Bai Zilin was dumbfounded. Her marksmanship was extremely accurate, and she was certain that her shot had hit the opponent's knee.
But to her surprise, the other party was only hindered in their actions, and afterwards continued forward as if nothing had happened, which was definitely suspicious.
But the distance of a dozen meters passed in an instant, and the burly man reached out his hand to her.
Bai Zilin gritted her teeth, gripped the gun tightly, and fired several shots into the burly man's chest.
At such close range, she couldn't possibly miss, but after those few shots, the opponent only slowed down for a moment before taking another step forward.
The gunshots didn't even leave a scratch or a drop of blood on him; he was like a corpse devoid of pain.
A large hand gripped her neck tightly and lifted her up.
With a snap, the gun in Bai Zilin's hand fell to the ground. She felt as if her neck was being tightly strangled by steel bars, and she could barely breathe.
She struggled desperately, trying to break free from the other person's control, but their hands were like vises. Gradually, she could no longer struggle and was almost suffocating.
Just as her neck was about to be snapped by the strange, burly man, a loud bang was heard, and a large hole was torn open in the previously locked cold storage door.
Ye Xingchen transformed into a blur and swept past, delivering a heavy punch.
With a loud bang, the burly man was sent flying by his punch, and Ye Xingchen caught Bai Zilin in his arms.
Bai Zilin's face was pale. She felt her neck loosen and she was able to breathe again. She took deep breaths of fresh air.
"Are you alright?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"It's alright, cough cough, be careful, that guy... he's not afraid of bullets." Bai Zilin gasped for breath and looked at the burly man.
The burly man who had been knocked away returned, his face still expressionless. Ye Xingchen's kick had dented his chest, but he stubbornly continued to stride forward.
"Walking corpses?" Ye Xingchen stared at the burly man and muttered to himself, "It seems this is no ordinary case. No wonder I felt something was off about it; even some strange people have appeared."
"What are you talking about?" Bai Zilin looked at Ye Xingchen in surprise.
"It's alright, I'll explain later." Seeing the zombies approaching, Ye Xingchen flashed through the air, boom...
With a snap, the burly man's neck was twisted behind his back. He took a step forward unwillingly, but his foot did not land. He then fell to the ground with a thud and was silent for a moment.
"You killed him?" Bai Zilin was shocked. This person could be an important witness. How could Ye Xingchen be so scared?
"What can we do if we don't kill him? This thing will fight you to the death." Ye Xingchen said, and went forward to help her up.
Bai Zilin angrily shook off Ye Xingchen's hand, struggled to get up, and ran to the burly man to check on him, hoping he was still a little angry.
But the moment she touched the other person's body, she couldn't help but shiver.
Because the place she touched was cold and stiff, which was not how a recently deceased person should look.
“He, he is…” Bai Zilin was dumbfounded, staring incredulously at the burly man’s corpse.
“That’s right, he was originally a corpse, raised by someone using evil magic and then controlled by a secret incantation.” Ye Xingchen said, “The corpse is dead but not stiff, which is why he wasn’t afraid at all when you fired the gun just now.”
"I was attacked by a corpse...?" Bai Zilin looked shocked and didn't come to her senses for a long time.
“Strictly speaking, that’s how it is.” Ye Xingchen nodded. “Don’t dwell on this. If you don’t believe me, just call a forensic doctor to examine the body.”
"Besides, this isn't an ordinary kidnapping case. Let's hand it over to the higher authorities. As for which department, your chief should know."
"Are you referring to Xuan Yu Pavilion?" Bai Zilin was silent for a moment, then looked at Ye Xingchen.
"How do you know about Xuan Yu Pavilion?" This time it was Ye Xingchen's turn to be surprised.
Bai Zilin is a criminal police captain. Although she is already promoted beyond her usual level at her age, there are some things that she is unaware of.
For example, Xuan Yu Pavilion, an SSS-level department, is something even the director only knows by name.
"Don't you know what my grandfather and father do?" Bai Zilin rolled her eyes at Ye Xingchen.
"Oh, I forgot about that." Ye Xingchen suddenly realized that Bai Zilin came from a family of police officers. Her grandfather had been in the line of police officers for many years, and at a very high level. It was normal for her to have heard of them.
"Let's find someone first. I'll contact our bureau chief," Bai Zilin said.
"The person has been found." Ye Xingchen gestured, "Come with me."
Bai Zilin didn't even have time to make a phone call and hurriedly followed Ye Xingchen out.
They opened a cellar door and went down the simple steps.
Inside the cellar, seven girls were found with their hands bound, lying unconscious on the ground.
Soon, a large number of police officers arrived, and ambulances were also called. The seven girls were all teenagers. They were rescued, but all of them were unconscious, and the attending physician could not find the cause for the time being.
"Ye Xingchen, why are they unconscious?" Bai Zilin asked as she ran over after notifying the girls' families.
"I've been cursed, and I've also been tainted by yin energy," Ye Xingchen said.
"What should we do then?" Bai Zilin now placed all her hopes on Ye Xingchen.
"Place it in the sunlight to absorb yang energy and dispel yin energy before the curse can be broken," Ye Xingchen said.
"What yang energy and yin energy? Zilin, how did you become so superstitious? These girls have been drugged and are unconscious. They need to be taken to the hospital for examination immediately." Just then, a forensic doctor took off his mask.
This guy is handsome and sunny, the kind of guy that girls adore. He is Li Jin, Bai Zilin's senior.
"Senior brother, how long do you think this person has been dead?" Bai Zilin pointed to the burly man's body.
