The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 235 The Battle Between Zombies and the Possession of Evil Spirits
An even stronger aura of death surged from the zombie, turning the entire room into an ice cellar, chilling it to the bone.

The light bulb hanging above the house suddenly shattered, and the lights in the hallway outside also started flickering at the same time.

This zombie certainly doesn't have a weak presence.

The vampire standing outside the door slowly walked into the house, without releasing a strong aura, yet showing no fear of the aura released by the other zombie.

No matter how fierce the zombie on the other side is, it was just created and cannot compare to the vampire zombie that has consumed a large number of people with magical powers.

The succubus also walked to the doorway.

Their movements were small and hardly attracted much attention, but the heretic named Ajiu noticed them.

Although it's unclear how Detective Li found out, what he said was indeed the truth.

This zombie was created by him through various means in order to prolong his own life.

This U-shaped apartment building housed several hundred families, a considerable number of people. From among them, he selected the most suitable person to be turned into a zombie.

This target was not chosen randomly, but rather a person deliberately selected based on factors such as their birth chart, fortune, and whether they would attract the attention of others.

This person's death was not accidental; rather, he was killed by the little devil at the right time.

With all the necessary factors in place, he used the pretext of helping the dead return to life to persuade Aunt Mei to create zombies.

The process was smooth.

Before seven days had passed, the corpse was already showing signs of turning into a zombie.

This did not disappoint him.

Last night, he mentioned the virgin blood to Aunt Mei. The corpse's aura had begun to gather. As long as it tasted the pure yang virgin blood, it could unleash the zombie's ferocity and make it the perfect shell he envisioned.

In the process of creating zombies, Ah Jiu persuaded Aunt Mei to do it. On the surface, he seemed indifferent and said that everything he said was for Aunt Mei's sake. But in fact, he was observing the surroundings every day in fear of any abnormal changes, so as not to disturb his plan.

Despite his seemingly strong demeanor, he was terminally ill and didn't have much time left to live. Naturally, he was no match for the healthy Chen You. Therefore, he was most wary of Chen You, who knew most of his secrets.

A dozen minutes ago, for some unknown reason, he suddenly heard a warning from a ritual implement at home, which caused him to feel an indescribable tremor in his heart.

He subconsciously found a suitable place to spy on Chen You, and that's when he saw Detective Li with a zombie.

Fearing he would attract attention, he didn't look at it for long, only glancing at it a few times before looking away.

After realizing that Chen You had brought people back to his residence, he became increasingly flustered and took the opportunity to go upstairs as well.

Before he could do anything, he heard Chen You and the others knocking on the door, so he had to hide in the bathroom.

The corpse, which was almost turning into a zombie, was also locked in the toilet.

Upon hearing Chen You's words and confirming that Chen You seemed to know something, he decisively fed the zombie the blood he had hastily brought, activating the zombie's ferocity.

Having reached this point, he has no way out.

Either he died from his own terminal illness, or he used a zombie as a vessel to successfully prolong his life.

This is all predicated on using zombies to kill the people blocking the way first!
The evil Taoist, whose eyes were flashing with a fierce light, had fallen into a state of madness. He made a strange hand seal with his right hand and muttered incantations.

A hand with sharp nails suddenly grabbed Ah Jiu's shoulder.

Ah Jiu froze, slowly turning around to see the zombie's extremely sinister eyes.

The mouth beneath the copper coin suddenly opened, and the zombie lunged at Ah Jiu's neck.

"Backlash..."

Ajiu, whose expression changed drastically, used her right hand to hold down the zombie's chin, and her left hand to form a hand seal, pressing her thumb and little finger onto the zombie's forehead.

The zombie roared and easily tossed Ajiu away like a doll.

"So fierce?"

Chen You, who was helping Aunt Mei up with Qian Xiaohao, turned around and saw Ah Jiu being thrown out, and his face darkened.

He pushed Aunt Mei onto Qian Xiaohao, bent down and quickly tore open the package he had brought with him, pressed down on something inside that looked like a large compass with one hand, and picked up the peach wood sword inside with the other.

When he returned home earlier, he noticed that the Five Elements Compass was sensing a strong corpse aura and was vibrating continuously.

Now the thing is vibrating even more violently.

Chen You almost couldn't suppress the vibrations of the Five Elements Plate.

Sensing the intense aura of death approaching from behind, his expression changed again. He dropped the strange compass, turned around, and thrust his peach wood sword backward.

Although years of cooking had somewhat affected his skills, this stab was swift and accurate, striking the zombie directly in the neck.

The zombie that had reached out its hands to Chen You stopped some distance away, leaning forward and pressing down completely on the peach wood sword, gradually bending it.

With trembling hands, Chen You looked at A Jiu, who had gotten up, and shouted, "This zombie is too ferocious! It has already turned on you! If you have any countermeasures, use them quickly! If you let it... let it go out and kill people, it will be too late! You... don't be so stubborn!"

Ah Jiu's expression changed for a moment, then she suddenly ran towards the door.

The succubus didn't stop him; she let him run straight out the door.

Ajiu glanced at the female demon with some curiosity.

He didn't know what it was, but he knew it was definitely an evil thing. He was already prepared to take action, but unexpectedly, this thing did not stop him.

His ease with which he escaped the room made him feel uneasy.

A sudden "hee-hee" laugh reached his ears, making him tense up.

Turning his head, he saw a "little devil" standing in the corridor carrying a rotting, maggot-infested cat, staring at him menacingly.

The moment Ah Jiu saw this thing, he realized how troublesome it was.

Having raised a real imp, he knew perfectly well that the thing in front of him wasn't an imp in the strict sense.

Although this thing is filled with yin energy and resentment, it still has a physical body. It is a kind of evil creature that lies between the ghosts of the five elements and the tangible zombies.

With just one glance, Ajiu sensed the terrifying malevolent aura emanating from the demonic fetus.

He took out a purple talisman from his pocket, quickly muttered a few words, threw the talisman at the demonic fetus, and then ran towards the stairs.

As he ran to the stairwell, he suddenly stumbled and couldn't help but cough a few times.

He glanced at Aunt Mei's house, where the commotion was getting louder and louder, and then ran downstairs.

Although the talisman beat the "little devil" until he was covered in dust, it couldn't do anything to him.

That "kid" is catching up soon; he doesn't have much time left.

The appearance of this "little devil" was sudden and had nothing to do with Chen You, since Chen You would not raise such an evil creature. It must be related to the young man who suddenly appeared.

It was that young man who led Chen You upstairs.

As a smart person, Ajiu naturally guessed the cause and effect of the matter.

The opponent only released one little devil, yet he felt his life was in danger...

If he doesn't harden his heart, all his plans will become a joke.

……

Although the zombies created by Ajiu were stiff, their movements were extremely agile, and their reactions were even faster than Chen You's.

Leaping and tumbling in the cramped room, shrouded in a black aura of death, it moved with the agility of some kind of demon, completely unlike the zombies Li Zhen had in mind.

Chen You quickly found himself at a disadvantage; not only was his peach wood sword broken, but many of the magical artifacts in his package were also rendered useless.

Seeing that the situation was not good, even Qian Xiaohao rushed up to help.

Although he was quite skilled, how could he compare to a zombie with immense strength? He almost got bitten just by looking at his mask.

At a crucial moment, Chen You saved Qian Xiaohao by pushing him toward Aunt Mei, who was trying to climb toward the zombie.

Startled, Qian Xiaohao hurriedly grabbed Aunt Mei.

"Weren't you here to deal with this zombie? How long are you going to wait?" Chen You shouted while struggling to deal with the zombie.

Standing by the wall observing the zombie, Li Zhen stopped suppressing it. Already enraged, the vampire roared and inhaled, drawing in all the black, corpse-like energy permeating the room.

The corpse energy emanating from the zombie chasing Chen You was being continuously absorbed into the vampire's body.

As if drawn by an invisible force, the zombie slowly drifted toward the vampire zombie.

Sensing danger, the zombie leaped up using the pull, landing in front of the vampire and reaching out to grab it with both hands.

The vampire, though arriving late, struck first, its sharp ten fingers piercing the other zombie's chest.

As if hit in the chest by a car, the zombie was suddenly thrown backward, denting the wall behind it.

The zombie forcefully pulled itself out of the wall and ran towards the vampire again, only to be grabbed and pulled into the black robe by the vampire.

Upon seeing this, Chen You, whose face was already pale, trembled even more violently.

His feeling was absolutely right.

What a terrifying zombie this is!

The zombie that nearly killed him was utterly powerless against this one...

Holding half a peach wood sword, Chen You grabbed the huge compass and shielded the equally terrified Qian Xiaohao behind him.

Qian Xiaohao said with trepidation, "This one seems even more powerful..."

Without turning his head, Chen You said, "Keep an eye on Aunt Mei. Find a chance to run away first."

The zombie that Uncle Dong was made into wasn't killed directly. When he struggled to run out, a large piece of flesh was missing from his shoulder.

The zombie tried to bite the vampire, but the vampire swung its hands and sent it flying.

The zombie seemed to sense its instinctive fear and ran towards the door.

The vampire also stepped towards the door.

He wasn't fast before, but now he's quite fast. Without Li Zhen suppressing him, he chased after Li Zhen outside in just a few steps.

Even at this point, no corpse energy was emanating from its body, indicating that it did not seem to be feeling much pressure.

Upon seeing the zombie run outside, Chen You, fearing it might hurt someone, was the first to chase after it.

The commotion was quite loud, and many people pushed open the door to look over, only to see a zombie running out.

Although they didn't immediately realize it was a zombie, seeing how terrifying it was and hearing Chen You anxiously shouting for them to close the door, they all closed the door one after another. The bolder ones only dared to look out through the peephole.

Aunt Mei dragged Qian Xiaohao to the door and saw Li Zhen walking over. She gave Li Zhen a forced smile and gestured for him to go first.

Li Zhen glanced at Aunt Mei and said to Qian Xiaohao, "Her heart is already dead. Even if you save her, she won't live for long. It's better to let her die at the hands of that zombie. That's the best ending for her."

In order to save her husband, in the original series, Aunt Mei first killed the security guard, then the white-haired child, becoming even more terrifying than a zombie. It can be said that in the process of turning her husband into a zombie, she herself also became a non-human being. The best ending would be to die at the hands of the zombie she created herself as soon as possible.

After saying only one sentence, without looking at Qian Xiaohao's reaction, Li Zhen walked out of the room and chased after the female demon.

The impatient red-eyed bat flew out from behind the banshee, circled the narrow corridor, and finally landed on Li Zhen's shoulder, letting out a few strange "squeaks" at him.

As they grow stronger, the red-eyed bats, though not yet having evolved human-like rationality, undoubtedly become increasingly more intelligent.

Li Zhen patted the red-eyed bat's head: "Don't worry, the truly terrifying thing hasn't come out yet."

“I sensed a terrifying yin energy here… The zombie wasn’t scary; what was scary was the change that occurred after that evil cultivator was killed.”

"That compass can set up a barrier, which should allow me to... see the zombie's strongest state."

"Time is running out, we only have one chance..."

Standing at the door, Qian Xiaohao stared blankly at Li Zhen's retreating figure.

After Li Zhen walked away, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Aunt Mei, "Aunt Mei, Uncle Dong... Uncle Dong has become like this, he is no longer the Uncle Dong he used to be. You should live well, if Uncle Dong knew in the afterlife, he would be very happy."

He wasn't an ignorant person; he had filmed quite a few zombie movies before. After seeing the zombie that Dong Shu had been turned into and hearing the conversation between Chen You and the others, he already guessed what had happened.

Previously, he had only seen zombies dressed as people, but now that he had seen a real zombie, Qian Xiaohao's feelings were very complicated.

The years he spent making zombie movies were the best years of his career in the film industry. Now he has fallen on hard times and has to live in a cramped apartment. But he has encountered real zombies, leaving him speechless.

Suddenly, Aunt Mei, who had been looking dazed, broke free from his grasp and ran into the corridor.

Qian Xiaohao quickly caught up with Aunt Mei and pulled her to his side.

Aunt Mei is clearly possessed in this state; she can't even tell whether her husband is a human or a zombie. If she were to chase after him, she would most likely be bitten to death by the zombie, thus entering the "best ending" that person had mentioned.

Chin Siu-ho clearly didn't want to see that happen.

……

Chen You was very fast, closely following the two zombies, and didn't stop even though he was panting.

The fight between the two zombies continued intermittently.

The zombie created from Uncle Dong's corpse was clearly no match for the zombie shrouded in black robes; it would suffer a loss if it were even slightly touched.

Before long, one of "Uncle Dong's" arms was torn off, and the copper coins covering his mouth fell to the ground.

Without the suppression of the copper coins, "Uncle Dong" became even more ferocious, but he was still powerless against the other zombie.

Chen You, however, did not relax.

The two zombies fought like terrifying beasts tearing each other apart, their destructive power was immense, leaving the corridor in a complete mess, and they could easily kill someone if you weren't careful.

The young man who released the zombies is on a wicked path and doesn't seem to care much about human life. He might not be able to control the zombies to stop "Uncle Dong" from killing people.

Chen You considered it his responsibility to prevent these two zombies from harming innocent people.

With a "bang," "Uncle Dong" was sent flying again, crashing heavily into the corner of the corridor wall, breaking off a large piece of the corner, and the whole building seemed to shake.

The commotion attracted even more onlookers, making Chen You even more anxious, and he could only keep urging those people to hide in their homes.

"Hey, Ayou, what's going on? Are you guys demolishing a building? Why are you making such a commotion?"

An old man in a security guard uniform rushed downstairs.

Chen You quickly stopped the man from getting closer and briefly explained the current situation, which terrified the old man.

"Is that Ah Dong?" The old man glanced at the zombie. "Ah You, can you handle it? This thing is really fierce. If you can't handle it, who knows how many people will die. There are actually two of them... Never mind, you handle the situation here. I'll go downstairs and tell them not to come and watch the show!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran downstairs.

Chen You breathed a sigh of relief.

Running up to the two entangled zombies, he gripped the broken half of his peach wood sword, preparing to launch a sneak attack. Looking up, he suddenly saw Ah Jiu coughing as she ran towards him, grabbing a bloodied man who seemed to be alive but not yet dead.

The man exuded an eerie aura, his body was damp, and water droplets dripped continuously from his fingertips.

After Ajiu arrived with this person, the atmosphere here became even more sinister.

With Chen You's discerning eye, he could immediately tell that the man was possessed by a ghost.

Realizing what Ajiu was about to do, his unease instantly reached its peak.

"A-Jiu, what are you doing? Don't make another mistake!"

The evil Ajiu glanced coldly at the two zombies fighting, released the man in his arms without a word, formed hand seals, pressed them against the man's forehead, and muttered incantations.

Then, he threw out several talismans.

The talisman burned to ashes in mid-air before it even fell.

The man kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head, his whole body tensed up, and his body began to convulse.

A pale-faced female ghost with malevolent eyes suddenly flew out from the man's body, hanging upside down from the ceiling of the corridor like a terrifying beast.

Immediately, another female ghost appeared, moving with incredible speed. Her figure transformed into a shadow carrying a chilling wind, and with a leap against the wall, she pounced on the two zombies…
