My Girlfriend is a Zombie - Chapter 1072: The Corpses Embrace

At this moment, however, the man called Li-Ge was already secretly on higher alert. Because this whole affair was just too strange…

He hadn’t chased far before he caught sight of that shadowy figure again. A trail of blood was left behind the person, who was half-leaning at the corner as if unable to support himself anymore. Li-Ge slowed his steps, watched the other warily for a couple of glances, then quietly drew a dagger. As he approached, he asked, probing, “Why aren’t you running? Didn’t you hear me when I told you to stop just now?”

After asking, he called out the figure’s name: “Li Chengguang?”

That figure, upper body covered in blood, was precisely the Male Spider Parasite who had suddenly disappeared…

When they went to check earlier, both were startled by the blood on the car window, and then He Zhen found the lighter that had fallen on the ground. Just as Li-Ge’s vigilance was peaking, he spotted Li Chengguang’s figure near the wall at the corner of a nearby building.

At first, he thought he was seeing things-after all, the other was standing motionless in the shadows, which was truly eerie. When he snapped out of it and was about to shout, the figure suddenly moved-directly stepping back, hiding behind the building. As the shadow disappeared, Li-Ge realized: That wasn’t an Ambusher, it was… Li Chengguang himself!

Though he was covered in blood and acting strangely, both his build and the clothes he wore were unmistakably Li Chengguang’s.

But the question was-how had he suddenly ended up like that? And why was he hiding?

In that moment, Li-Ge didn’t have time to think further. He simply chased after him…

Now, he had finally cornered the man. Yet Li-Ge didn’t rush to get close. He continued moving slowly from ten meters away, asking, “Li Chengguang, what are you doing? At a time like this, causing trouble like this-aren’t you afraid the Boss will kill you?” He thought for a moment, then gave a cold snort and said, “Don’t tell me you’re trying to fish in muddy waters? Taking this rare chance to hide and watch the show? I advise you to forget it. When the fight’s over, the Boss will come for you first. You could even drag us down with you…”

Seeing that Li Chengguang remained completely silent, Li-Ge couldn’t help feeling a little irritated. He muttered in a low voice, “You really went all out, didn’t you? Hurting yourself that badly just to avoid fighting?”

Li Chengguang still didn’t say a word…

Li-Ge made two guesses in a row, but the other neither spoke nor turned his head. Watching the blood dripping incessantly, Li-Ge’s heart skipped a beat.

“Li Chengguang!”

Just as Li-Ge shouted in anger, Li Chengguang moved.

Seeing this, Li-Ge immediately raised his dagger and leapt back warily, adopting a defensive stance.

But he soon realized Li Chengguang wasn’t moving-he was… collapsing forward.

“Fainted?”

Li-Ge was a bit stunned. With Li Chengguang’s fall, most of his body lay past the corner, and from Li-Ge’s angle, he couldn’t see a thing.

He cautiously waited two seconds. Seeing that Li Chengguang truly wasn’t moving, and with a battle about to erupt any moment, he couldn’t afford to waste any more time…

“Damn it, what a pain…”

Cursing under his breath, Li-Ge darted forward. He first gave Li Chengguang a cautious kick, then circled around the corner. Li Chengguang lay sprawled on the ground, surrounded by splattered blood, completely motionless.

“Fainted?”

Li-Ge asked, and with no response, reached out to turn Li Chengguang over.

But as Li Chengguang’s face appeared before him, Li-Ge was instantly startled.

Bathed in the pale night light, Li Chengguang’s face was paper-white, his One-Eye wide open in disbelief, with several deep, bone-revealing gashes on his face. The wounds were torn open, fresh blood still gushing out… His other eye was already empty. The Male Spider that had parasitized it was long gone…

In the empty alley, Li-Ge’s body was suddenly chilled to the bone. This… was a corpse…

Just then, he suddenly felt a sharp prickling-as if something was stabbing toward his Hindbrain. Li-Ge instinctively spun around, slashing out with his dagger.

The dagger cut the air with a buzzing screech, showing just how much force he’d put into it. But the swift strike hit nothing.

Li-Ge had no time to regret it, for he saw, standing right before him, a gigantic mutation beast…

“Pan… Panda…”

Li-Ge’s reaction was relatively calm, but the shock in his eyes was obvious.

He glanced at the dagger in his hand… Compared to the mutation panda’s massive body, it was nothing but a toothpick. Li-Ge didn’t throw it away, but decisively revealed his trump card… His eye began to squirm, blood vessels emerging around it. At the same time, Li-Ge couldn’t help but wonder in disbelief-why hadn’t the Male Spider detected the presence of this mutation beast? More importantly, where had this Monster come from…

But soon, Li-Ge’s pupils shrank… On the mutation panda’s neck-or what could be called a neck-he saw a Mobile Phone pouch… The pouch was bulging round, as if it contained a bottle. Thinking of Li Chengguang’s missing Male Spider, and Lu Ren’s surviving Male Spider… Li-Ge’s heart turned half to ice…

This wasn’t an ordinary mutation beast… This was one of that group!

They’d been on guard against that group, but never considered there was such a massive creature lurking unseen…

It’s hard for people to evade a swarm of Spiders. But if a highly stealthy mutation beast cooperates with the scent released by the Male Spider, it just might work…

What’s more, the evolution level of this mutation beast looked extremely high!

A chill ran through Li-Ge as he hurled the Male Spider away, then immediately retreated, ready to get up and run.

He wasn’t confident about going one-on-one with this Fierce Beast… At this moment, he bitterly regretted everything-who could have guessed the corpse would move, or that a mutation beast was waiting to ambush him!

“I’ve got to report this right away… Damn it! They’re even sneakier than we are!” Li-Ge screamed inwardly.

Yet the moment he propped himself up with both hands, his body suddenly froze, his expression fixed on his face.

His One-Eye slowly looked down… An Arm reached from behind, locking tightly around him…

At the same time, he could feel that blood-soaked face pressed against the back of his head. He could even feel the blood dripping from the other onto his own body…

Li Chengguang wasn’t dead?

“…Dead or not, it’s all your fault!” Li-Ge suddenly roared, smashing an elbow fiercely into Li Chengguang behind him.

With a crisp crack, Li-Ge shouted again, “Let go! Die, die, die!”

He struck out wildly several times, but Li Chengguang never let go… If it were under normal circumstances, the first blow would have killed him…

At that moment, Li-Ge saw in horror that the mutation panda had already knocked out the Male Spider and was walking toward him.

“Ah… Ahhhh!”

Li-Ge froze for an instant, then screamed in madness. He tried to get up, dragging the corpse with him, but to his utter terror, he found… his body wouldn’t move!

It was as if countless invisible threads bound his limbs, and after that violent struggle just now, his strength was far from its peak…

Though he managed to free one Arm, the mutation panda had already reached him.

The instant he met the mutation panda’s gaze up close, Li-Ge was stunned in the midst of despair and madness…

Those were blood-red eyes, with not only the same coldness as a Zombie’s, but something more…

A gaze like a human’s-mocking.

Swish!

The next second, in Li-Ge’s wide-open eyes, he saw his own blood spray forth…
