Chapter 317: Chapter 218: The Trap

Whoosh!

Suddenly, two rays of light flew from the sky, transforming into two men dressed in black uniforms. Their faces were stern, their eyes sharp, and an iron badge hung from each of their waists.

"It’s this phenomenon again..." The two exchanged a glance, one threw a rope to bind the half body and carried it on his shoulder, quickly flying away.

The other looked at the surrounding onlookers and asked, "How did this half body appear?"

"Sir, this half body appeared out of thin air. Just now, I was spacing out and then ’swoosh’ it was on the street, giving me a fright," a dark-skinned merchant hurriedly answered.

"Yes, yes, it suddenly appeared. I almost ran into it just now!" a passerby chimed in.

"Got it," nodded the man, "if you encounter a similar situation again, make sure to protect these body parts."

Then, without further words, he turned into a ray of light and flew away, leaving the bewildered crowd behind.

Inn, inside the room.

Ye Wushuang, deep in thought, closed the window and played with her phone for a while, exiting the document and finding the internal chat group of the Control Bureau—the gesture password she had noted from Zhou Yuan earlier.

Coincidentally, the topic in the chat group was the strange phenomenon on the street.

Ye Wushuang scrolled to the very beginning of the messages.

Xiao Xiaobai: "@All members, is there anyone powerful near Yongan City? I’m in the wild and have detected a space distortion phenomenon here, and it’s expanding. It might cover Yongan City if it continues."

Jie: "Wan and the others are in Yongan City, @Wan Shuruyi."

Zhao: "I’m near Yongan City. Damn, it’s terrifying, brothers. People are being vertically cut in half by the chaotic space, turned into specimens, yet are still lively, claiming it doesn’t hurt at all."

Zhao: [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]

Wan Shuruyi: "We are aware of this issue, a level 4 abnormal event is currently being addressed. @All members, it’s best not to come to Yongan City for now."

Alice: "I also encountered something strange. Two arms appeared suddenly, the cut was smooth, no blood, and they moved on their own, writing on the ground as if controlled from a distance."

Alice: "Also, these seem to be a girl’s hands, white and tender, soft and fragrant... Oh right, these are modern people’s hands, and there’s a lady’s watch on one of them."

Rabbit: [Voice]

Rabbit: [Voice]

Ye Wushuang clicked the voice message, and a woman’s frenzied and furious voice rang out "That’s my fucking hand, stop touching it!"

"I was swept by a space turbulence just now, and my arms disappeared, but I can still sense them... Now I’m using my feet to operate the phone, can someone come rescue me? And Alice, stop touching it!"

"Hmm..." Ye Wushuang pondered, was it a space-related abnormal event...

She continued reading. The Control Bureau’s efficiency was high, and along with their cooperation with local forces, things proceeded smoothly. It didn’t take long to find the source of the abnormal event.

Wan Shuruyi: "We found the source of the abnormal fluctuations outside Yongan City. The space there is twisted like a crumpled piece of paper; we used special methods to capture images of the core area."

Wan Shuruyi: [Picture] [Picture]

Wan Shuruyi: "It’s a zombie!"

The pictures showed a man in ancient clothes, with a pale, paper-like face, and protruding fangs like a bloodthirsty beast. His gaze was filled with confusion and emptiness, wandering in a mountain forest.

The space around him was visibly distorted.

Wan Shuruyi: "This zombie is a level 6. We have a few high-levels here that can kill it, but we can’t get close. The space around it is severely distorted, forming a corridor that can’t be broken with brute force. Anyone got usable abnormal items? @All members."

"Zhao Hai..." Ye Wushuang looked at the familiar figure in the photo, falling silent for a moment, somewhat in disbelief.

This was a transcendance tribulation stage cultivator she knew, who was proficient in space arts and had been dead for many years, with no possibility of reappearing.

"Back when I was badly injured and recuperating, Zhao Hai had already fallen in battle for a long time, his soul rumored to be obliterated, his body shattered, leaving only some remnants. Yet now, he’s completely intact..." Ye Wushuang murmured, "The Corpse Immortal’s influence is gradually increasing."

Wherever the Corpse Immortal was, all the dead would revive, even if only a piece of bone or a handful of ashes remained...

Zhao Hai was just the beginning. Once the Corpse Immortal broke free, the entire Cave Heaven Blessed Land would turn into a haven for undead.

The only good news was the revived dead were far weaker than before.

Zhao Hai had been a transcendance tribulation stage cultivator, equivalent to a level 9 extraordinary person now, but the resurrected corpse was only level 6.

If they held their original rank after revival, it would be an apocalyptic disaster of unimaginable horror.

"Phew..."

Zhou Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the bed, exhaled a breath and slowly opened his eyes, having finished absorbing the Chaos Fruit, and withdrew his Dharma Body, as the yin-yang anomaly in the room slowly dissipated.

"I seemed to hear someone shouting outside just now?" Zhou Yuan asked.

Ye Wushuang then relayed the abnormal event to him.

"No wonder there’s space chaos; so that’s it. We won’t be able to reach Chenzhou unless this abnormal event is resolved..."

Zhou Yuan stroked his chin. He could give it a try; he had previously used Daybreak Shield’s "Stellar Impact" to violently pierce through space corridors. Moreover, the Eastern Town Rod had the power to stabilize space as well.
