The feeling of suffocation swept through her entire body. The woman's face turned ashen, her hand gripping Bai Ye's wrist, struggling desperately, her eyes filled with fear and a hint of disbelief.
The woman rasped, "Why?"
Why?
This was, of course, thanks to the T-virus enhancement, which had turned Bai Ye's already outstanding spiritual attributes into something even more terrifying, his so-called mental pollution ability.
Then...
*Crack!*
Bai Ye's palm tightened again. A crisp bone-cracking sound echoed. The woman's pupils constricted, her head lolled to the side, and she died.
"I have no obligation to satisfy your curiosity."
Bai Ye dropped the woman's corpse and then looked around.
After the woman's death, the twelve people who had been sent to the tomb door had all turned into corpses. Bai Ye cautiously checked them one by one, and after confirming there were no survivors, he picked up his gun and forcefully pushed open the tomb door.
As the tomb door opened, Bai Ye immediately felt the surrounding temperature plummet.
Before Bai Ye appeared a narrow, long passage. The moment the tomb door was opened, the oil lamps on both sides of the passage lit up on their own. However, the lamplight looked somewhat eerie, being a greenish-blue, exuding a sense of mystery.
Bai Ye did not hesitate. He slung his gun over his shoulder and stepped into the passage, walking forward. Suddenly...
*Creak!*
A piercing sound suddenly rang out, followed by the tomb door slamming shut with a bang.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, but Bai Ye didn't seem to mind.
It's just haunted!
When the King of Huainan died, he had many living people buried with him. These people had turned into Yin soldiers after death, helping to guard the King of Huainan's tomb.
In fact, the first of the three forbidden zone quests in the King of Huainan's tomb was to kill fifteen tomb-guarding spirit monsters within the King of Huainan's tomb.
This was also why Bai Ye had intercepted at the tomb door and killed everyone sent to this tomb door.
The number of tomb-guarding spirit monsters on each route was limited. If there was a crowd competing, it wouldn't be easy to kill fifteen.
However, Bai Ye was the only one on this route, so all the tomb-guarding spirit monsters could be killed at will, making it not difficult to gather fifteen.
He continued forward and soon reached the end. An opened jade door appeared before Bai Ye.
Beyond the jade door was a square stone chamber, about a hundred square meters in size. In the center lay a jade coffin, and nothing else.
The moment Bai Ye stepped into the stone chamber...
A black mist appeared all around. Within the black mist, human-shaped silhouettes emerged. Soon, corpse children, only a little over a meter tall, walked out of the mist, swaying. They were all young zombie children around seven to nine years old, about five or six of them.
Bai Ye did not hesitate. He raised his Aug assault rifle and pulled the trigger.
The bullets flew forward, but after hitting the corpse children, they had little effect. The bullets hit the corpse children as if striking steel plates, constantly making metallic clanging sounds.
Zombies were different from ghouls. Ghouls were actually not difficult to deal with; you could aim for their heads. But zombies were different; they had no obvious weak points. Bullets were not useless, but they simply didn't inflict enough damage on zombies.
"So, foreign things are unreliable. Even dead ghosts, domestic products are still tougher!"
Bai Ye muttered, then quickly unloaded the empty magazine, retreating to create distance while reloading.
At this moment...
*Puff!*
The corpse child in front of him suddenly opened its small mouth and spat out a puff of purplish-black mist.
Bai Ye dared not be careless and quickly dodged backward.
The purple mist was corpse poison. If one was contaminated, they would die within moments.
After avoiding the purple mist, Bai Ye finished reloading and raised his gun again. However, two corpse children used the black smoke as cover, flanking Bai Ye. They suddenly leaped up, their hands reaching straight forward, attempting to grab Bai Ye's neck.
Bai Ye quickly swung his gun around and smashed it to the side. The butt of the gun struck a corpse child's head, knocking it away. He then spun around and kicked another corpse child.
"Ningshuang, Sword Control!"
The Ningshuang sword, suspended beside Bai Ye, immediately transformed into a sword light and flew forward.
*Clang, clang...*
The sword light of the Ningshuang sword was extremely fast, continuously striking the neck of a corpse child, emitting crisp clashing sounds.
But by the third strike...
*Puff!*
The corpse child's neck finally couldn't withstand the sword strike. A line of blood appeared on its neck, and then its head flew off, its body falling straight backward.
Bai Ye seized the opportunity to load a grenade into the grenade launcher and aimed forward.
*Boom!*
Accompanied by the sound of an explosion, flames surged and rolled.
A massive fireball exploded in an instant, sending the surrounding corpse children flying. Black smoke billowed from their bodies, emitting a scorched smell.
At this moment...
*Crack, crack!*
A grinding sound suddenly occurred, followed by Bai Ye feeling a strong gust of wind.
The jade coffin in the center began to tremble, and then the lid of the jade coffin suddenly flew up, spinning in the air and hurtling towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly dodged to the side. The coffin lid smashed into the wall, instantly shattering a piece.
At the same time...
A gust of cold wind suddenly swept through the surroundings, mixed with ghostly wails.
From within the white jade coffin, a corpse child suddenly stood upright, its hands reaching straight forward, its pair of red eyes fixed on Bai Ye.
This corpse child appeared slightly taller than the others, and its clothes were completely different. Although they were all tattered, it was still evident that they were much more luxurious than those of ordinary corpse children.
Bai Ye immediately raised his gun, aiming at the corpse child, intending to pull the trigger. But at this moment...
Bai Ye found that after pulling the trigger, there was no reaction. Moreover, the body of the Aug assault rifle was gradually becoming ethereal, turning semi-transparent, and then quickly disappearing without a trace.
Bai Ye was speechless. The 24-hour usage time for the gacha item had expired.
"Ah!"
At this moment, the corpse child suddenly opened its mouth and let out a ghostly howl, spewing a mass of black smoke from its mouth.
Bai Ye quickly dodged to the side with a somersault, pushing off the ground with one hand and rolling away. The moment the smoke landed on the corner of the wall, a "sizzling" sound began to emanate from the corner. When the black smoke dissipated, a section of the stone slab in the corner had been corroded, looking quite shocking.
Bai Ye got up from the ground, glanced at the corner, and couldn't help but grimace. He could easily imagine what would happen if that black smoke landed on him.
Then...
Bai Ye suddenly lifted his clothes, and two decks of playing cards appeared in his hands.
...
