Chapter 643: Chapter 615 Zombie!

"This... The situation is urgent, I didn’t mean to do this," Li Chen said as he quickly scrambled to his feet, looking down at the two girls he had inadvertently pinned beneath him.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, both girls’ faces turned red, but this time, even the Qilin Princess didn’t speak.

She knew that she had been inconsiderate just now, with Ouyang Wan’er right there, and she too had been blinded by anger.

Once everyone had calmed down, Ouyang Wan’er finally spoke, "Alright, alright, didn’t we come here to investigate this matter?"

"Yes, yes, you’re right! Let me quickly see what exactly is going on," Li Chen eagerly said.

Ouyang Wan’er nodded and then walked into the next room. Shortly afterwards, she returned with several photos in hand.

Li Chen took the photos. The people in them were all deceased.

As he looked over the pictures, Li Chen’s brow furrowed slightly. These people were indeed identical to the victims previously attacked by Li Xinmei, but Li Xinmei was clearly already dead.

Li Chen said to the two women, "It’s indeed very similar to some things I’ve seen before, but I need to see it with my own eyes to understand the situation."

"Then we’ll take you to the police station to see the deceased," Ouyang Wan’er said.

Soon, led by the two women, Li Chen arrived at the police station, and given their status, they had no trouble getting inside.

"This is the morgue," a police officer introduced to the trio.

Although he didn’t know the exact identities of the two women, the credentials they had shown were certainly not something he could meddle with.

Moreover, it wasn’t just him; even their chief had come personally and had ordered that if they needed anything, his staff was to cooperate fully.

As for Li Chen, he was instinctively treated as just another bystander and overlooked.

"Looks like I also need to get myself one of those credentials?" Li Chen thought irritably as the officers greeted him upon entry but paid him no further attention.

But it was just a passing thought. If his name were to be associated with that place, he surmised that a lot of troublesome matters would soon come knocking at his door.

He still had his own issues to resolve and had no interest in getting involved in something else.

Inside the morgue, the chilling and sinister atmosphere didn’t bother the trio at all. While each of their faces remained calm, the police officers following them seemed uneasy.

Police officers are human too. Even if they don’t believe in superstitions, no one likes dealing with the dead.

Soon, a frozen corpse was presented before them.

Of course, the main concern was Li Chen, as both the Qilin Princess and Ouyang Wan’er had already seen these things.

Looking at the familiar corpses before him, an odd expression emerged on Li Chen’s face.

Indeed, Li Chen had no reservations, and without even wearing gloves, he touched the body directly.

However, the next moment, Li Chen’s brows knitted together.

He could clearly feel that these bodies were indeed no different from those that had been drained by Li Xinmei.

But in the back of his mind, Li Chen’s sixth sense kept telling him something else.

Li Chen could sense that there was something slightly different about these bodies compared to those found drained by Li Xinmei, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.

"Did you find anything?" the Qilin Princess asked, noticing Li Chen’s expression.

"Not yet," Li Chen replied with a furrowed brow, shaking his head.

Hearing his answer, the Qilin Princess couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. They had brought Li Chen here precisely to investigate this matter, and it seemed he couldn’t find any trace or clue either.

However, Ouyang Wan’er, who was standing nearby, noticed something odd about Li Chen’s expression.

"Brother Li Chen, have you seen something like this before?" Ouyang Wan’er asked.

"I have," Li Chen nodded, "but it’s somewhat different from what I’ve seen before, so I can’t be sure if it’s caused by the same situation."

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside.

The police officer behind them turned to his colleague and asked, "What’s going on?"

The policeman went to check and soon returned, "Report, it seems another victim has been discovered."

Hearing the report, the brows of the officer and the trio wrinkled, "Another incident?"

"Let’s go and take a look," Li Chen said to the two women beside him.

They then left the morgue and headed outside.

Indeed, another victim, covered in a white sheet, was being brought in.

And beside the body, presumably the victim’s family head, followed behind, weeping inconsolably.

Approaching the victim, the expressions of Li Chen and the women became solemn.

Such frequent occurrences were clearly not normal, and it was no wonder that even someone like the Qilin Princess and Ouyang Wan’er had been sent to investigate.

Next to the body, Li Chen lifted the white sheet covering the victim.

Indeed, the condition was very similar to those drained by Li Xinmei; the bodies were withered and their deaths were pitifully gruesome.

However, Li Chen quickly noticed that there seemed to be something else on the victim’s body.

"There were no signs of life, but how..." Li Chen began to say something, his expression suddenly changing.

The next moment, the body, which seemed to already be dead, suddenly sprung up from the stretcher.

This corpse that leaped from the stretcher had an incredibly ferocious expression, and its eyes, now dried and devoid of moisture, were filled with red blood vessels.

Basically, everyone who saw his eyes for the first time could tell that this person could no longer be considered human.

However, that wasn’t the most terrifying part.

What was truly horrifying was that this ’corpse-pretender’ sprung directly from the stretcher and pounced toward the person closest to him.

And that person was his family.

However, in his eyes, it seemed he didn’t recognize them as his kin anymore, his mouth gaped to a frightening extent, like a python dislocating its jaw to swallow its prey, and he suddenly lunged to bite.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

The Qilin Princess reacted quickly, stepping behind the target before the ’corpse-pretender’ could bite, grabbing the person and forcibly yanking them away.

At this time, the others also recovered and quickly backed away to avoid the ’deceased’s’ attack.

"What’s going on? Isn’t he already dead?" a policeman asked.

At that moment, the coroner had not yet left and shouted from nearby vehicles: "He was indeed dead! We checked when we got here; his heartbeat and pulse had stopped, there were no signs of life at all."

However, the coroner’s words did not calm people down but instead made them feel even colder.

Seeing this ’deceased’ with red eyes, everyone involuntarily thought of a term.

Zombies.

The character initially from Western films, but now, no matter how you looked at it, this ’deceased’ seemed no different from those movie ’zombies’.

"Stop!" a policeman shouted at the ’zombie,’ who had lost its target and seemed to be looking for a new one: "Don’t move, or we will shoot!"

However, the ’zombie’ seemed unable to understand the policeman’s words, instead turning its head and emitting a terrifying roar toward the shouting officer.

"Roaaar~~~"

The parched throat produced a sound like a frayed bellows being pulled, grating to the ears.

And at that moment, even his original family seemed to be frozen with fear.

They could never have imagined such a situation.

Their initial sorrow seemed to be forgotten at that moment. They just stood there, dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how a seemingly healthy person had suddenly died.

And even in death, he did not rest in peace, seemingly trying to make use of the ’afterheat’ of the deceased.

Of course, this was not the least bit funny.

Because this body, whatever it was, was still very aggressive, as one could tell from its previous behavior.

And at this time, the corpse was already lunging toward the crowd.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and suddenly there was silence around.

The next moment, a chilling scene occurred.

The bullet-struck corpse seemed to feel nothing at all and continued to lunge at the crowd.

"Bang bang bang..."

A policeman sat on the ground, somewhat helplessly, as he realized that bullets really had no effect on this monster.

As the corpse dove into the crowd, people scattered and ran.

However, one person did not move.

Li Chen.

Li Chen watched the approaching monster, a contemplative look in his eyes.

And naturally, the corpse chose this target closest to it.

"What are you doing? Run!!" People around couldn’t help but shout, even the police were yelling loudly.

"Has he been scared stiff? It’s over..." After firing several shots at the corpse, a policeman dropped his arm in a display of helplessness.

Just as the corpse was about to jump on Li Chen, he seemed to snap out of his reverie.

Looking at the ’zombie’ before him, Li Chen furrowed his brows and silently raised his arm, delivering a seemingly effortless punch to its body.

Boom!!

Like a needle piercing a balloon filled to the brim with air, the ’zombie’ that had been unstoppable for everyone, instantly burst apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist in front of Li Chen.

Not only the bystanders, but even Li Chen himself was slightly taken aback at this scene.
