Chapter 529: Chapter 7 Blonde Beauty and the Curse (Third Update, 10,000 words) _2

If it wasn’t for the limitation on the number of people allowed for prison visitation, Tang Zheng would definitely bring Dantai in. He’s a strong fighter.

"I’ve seen the dried corpses, should I come in to assist you?" Qin Yan called out to Tang Zheng, observing two panicking civilians running out of the police station, only to be knocked over by the mummy corpses leaping out and dragged into the police station.

The entire police station was shrouded by the Curse of the Shadow, with pedestrians on the street completely oblivious to the massacre happening inside.

Panic-stricken, Aima rushed into the temporary prison, followed by Tang Zheng. They saw numerous prisoners stuffed in the cells on both sides, reaching their hands through the iron fence, begging the police to let them out. A few dried corpses had descended from the black vortex on the ceiling, tearing the prisoners to pieces.

The loud wailing was compromising Tang Zheng’s hearing. To make matters worse, corpses kept dropping down. Deciding to create more chaos, he blasted the lock on the iron door. The more moving human targets there were, the more scattered the corpses would be.

Aima and three police officers were trapped in the innermost prison with nowhere to hide. They therefore rushed into the empty prison cell next to them. As they watched the dried corpses blocked by the iron door and breathed a sigh of relief, a black vortex formed on the ceiling, out leaped another corpse, tangling with an unfortunate policeman.

"Someone is here to save us." Hearing the gunshots outside, Aima uttered cheerfully, "Just hold on."

Bang, bang, bang, Tang Zheng kept firing, completely killing two mummies lying on the prison door. He then heard calls for help.

The mummy that had killed the male police officer lunged at Aima and the policewoman, both cowering in the corner of the cell. Its head was blown off midair and the headless body was repeatedly blasted with buckshot before it got a chance to rise.

Looking at the burning pieces of the corpse, the remaining two women sighed in relief.

"Let’s go, get out of here." Tang Zheng opened the prison door and reported progress, "I’ve rescued Aima. Start the bus. I’ll escape as soon as I get out."

"No, wait here for rescue." The policewoman held onto Aima; she needed a companion.

"If we wait, we’ll only meet one fate: death. Look, more are coming." Tang Zheng aimed his gun at the ceiling and fired. Shattered body parts of the mummy fell.

"Who are you?" Aima, without any hesitation, followed Tang Zheng to escape.

"Your bodyguard, I want to kill the queen. Do you know what to do?"

Aima was astonished, almost popping her eyes out, seeing Tang Zheng repelling and even flipping over the blocking mummies with a single hand. She had never seen such a strong man before.

"I don’t know." Aima’s answer made Tang Zheng frown because she was not lying.

Qin Yan, Dantai, and Lin Weiguo all set up defenses in the lobby of the police station, creating a safe zone. They gathered with Tang Zheng, immediately boarded the bus to evacuate. The surviving policewoman just stepped out of the police station and fainted on the steps.

"Leave her, it’s the curse." Tang Zheng, pulling Aima and nudging her backside onto the bus, had mummies tailing him. It was a situation where neither side would stop until the other was dead.

"Fire!" Dantai roared. The pre-set firepower unleashed, but unfortunately due to the poor gunfire skills and stress, all the newcomers missed their aim. Only Little Lolita and Chu Baichuan managed to repel them.

"Tell us anything you know." Dantai pointed his muzzle directly at Aima’s temples, the most efficient method. "Don’t even think of lying. I have a hundred ways to make you spill your secrets."

"I started having nightmares about a crown about a month ago. So I found my grandfather’s notes, which stated that if the crown is not returned to the pharaoh’s tomb, my family would one day fall under the curse, becoming mummies with their souls trapped." Aima smirked with sadness, "But as you’ve seen, my dad sold it to the museum in his drunken state."

"Since when did those mummies start chasing you?" Tang Zheng examined Aima closely. This woman was becoming calm too quickly. "How did you survive?"

"Half a month ago. Last time, I was lucky, we had an item at home that could exorcise demons." Aima looked at Tang Zheng, "I can let you examine the item, but you must trade the crown for it."

"How are we going to get the crown? The museum certainly won’t sell it, right?" A man wearing a baseball cap asked, trying to make his presence felt.

"Steal it, or even rob it." Dantai was skilled at such tasks, "Don’t even think about the official channel."

"Let’s rest at your place first, then steal the crown at night." Tang Zheng set the baseline, and no one objected.

Aima lived in a small apartment which caused quite a stir among her neighbors when she suddenly brought a group of Chinese people home.

"My grandfather’s possessions are in the old house. I’ll take you there once you guys get the crown," Aima glanced at the group and said, "Aside from the living room, you’re not allowed to go anywhere else. Deal with lunch yourselves."

Aima was about to head to her bedroom when she suddenly turned around and walked up to Tang Zheng, extending her hand, "Today’s lodging fee is one thousand pounds. Please pay."

Tang Zheng gave her a wad of bills and then sat down on the sofa to rest, while Dantai turned on the TV and selected a sports channel.

"There’s an English Premier League match on, nice." He opened the fridge, took out a few cans of beer, and threw them to Tang Zheng, Qin Yan, and the others. The newbies didn’t even have to think about it.

Zhao Guangji was very upset, but there was nothing he could do. His combat power was too weak, and he couldn’t fight back.

"Aima wasn’t lying, but she withheld some information." Dantai took a swig and shouted with joy as Arsenal scored a goal.

"Meiqin, go buy some food." Tang Zheng spread out a piece of printing paper and started writing the plan, "The answer is with her, she will tell us once she trusts us."

"Do you think those monsters that drop notes when killed will appear again?" Lu Fan’s remark sent shivers down the spines of the newbies. There were still rotten traces on some of them, and the stench could be smelled from afar.

"I hope they don’t show up again." The mature woman complained, looking at Tang Zheng. She didn’t believe that he would be generous enough to give them another potion. Through Lu Fan, they had already understood how precious points were, they were practically equivalent to life.

"If we want to steal artifacts, we’ll need to prepare a lot of things. How about we use the Memory Eraser?" Pang Meiqin piped in, attempting to increase her presence and not just be a pretty face.

"How to deal with the monitors? Just steal. Those theft prevention devices won’t stop us. We aim to get in and out of the museum within three minutes." Tang Zheng casually marked out a schematic of the museum, "We’ll find the curator this afternoon and interrogate him."

"No need for that, I have all of it." Aima, who had been sneaking listens to their conversation, couldn’t hold her peace any longer. She walked out of the room with a stack of documents and threw them on the coffee table.

"Don’t tell me you were planning to steal artifacts too?" Being a reporter, the man just had to try to interview her.

"This is written too roughly." Tang Zheng leafed through the documents carelessly, unsatisfied.

"You..." Aima was furious. If it weren’t for the favor she owed him for saving her life, she would have lost her patience a long time ago. Who allows so many strangers into their home?

"But it can be used, it saves a lot of time." Tang Zheng’s words had just fallen when dozens of black shadows suddenly fell from the ceiling, startling everyone and making them scatter.

In broad daylight, Tang Zheng finally got a clear look at them. They were like meatballs the size of two basketballs with strong limbs, giving them powerful jumping abilities. As soon as they appeared, they lunged towards their individual targets.

Boom. Tang Zheng swung his arm and fiercely knocked away a meatball monster diving towards him. Dantai and Lin Wei weren’t bad either, whereas the newbies weren’t so lucky. They were caught by the meatball monsters...

Bang, bang. The meatball monsters exploded, filling the living room with a large cloud of stinking fog. Qin Yan and the others rushed to open the windows, but it was already too late.

In less than a minute, the survivors began to vomit. Those who had potions took them immediately. This time, Tang Zheng didn’t play the good guy. He only had two bottles, and they couldn’t keep up with the consumption rate of the group.

Aima was also affected, vomiting violently as if she would spit out her innards. The entire living room became uninhabitable, filled with an unbearable stench.

"Damn, the decay range has increased." The man with the ball cap frowned and punched the ground hard. This time, he sought help from Pang Meiqin, even promising her tens of millions of money, but he was still rejected.

Qin Yan shared some of the potion with Lin Wei and Ai Yixin, and that was it. Not even Chu Baichuan was eligible to use it.

The women each had their own worries, and their brows furrowed deeply. At a time like this, you had to rely on your own abilities to survive! (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
