The moment Bai Qiuye took out the item, the ghost baby that had crawled out of the zombie’s stomach suddenly stopped. Its black hands hooked onto the zombie’s open stomach, and its black eyes stared at Bai Qiuye.
The others were shocked. What was in that bag that could stop a ghost baby that could tear open a zombie’s stomach with its bare hands?
After all, a zombie’s body was very hard. It was invulnerable to weapons, water, and fire.
When Bai Qiuye used the golden sword to stab it, she purposely chose to stab it when it opened its mouth, which had the lowest defence.
The fact that the ghost baby could tear open the zombie’s body so easily showed that it was a terrifying existence that surpassed the zombie’s.
“I’ve been wondering what this thing is.” Bai Qiuye said, “I finally found out just now.”
Li Gushu recognized it, “This is the umbilical cord?”
“That’s right, this is the umbilical cord.” Zhong Xuan also held one in his hand, and it was the same as the one in Bai Qiuye’s hand. They were both full of blood.
The ghost baby seemed very confused. It turned its head to look at Zhong Xuan, then at Bai Qiuye, as if wondering who it should listen to.
Outside the corridor, the zombies were getting restless.
Although Yu Meng had been eliminated, the ghost baby that had hatched from her stomach seemed to be even more intimidating than her. These zombies only dared to stick their heads out at Bai Qiuye and the others from a very far distance.
However, there were a few zombies that had broken chains hanging from their bodies. Their skin color was scarier than the other zombies’. It was obvious that they had just broken through and were in desperate need of blood.
The ghost baby seemed to have less of an effect on them, so they stood at the front of the zombie horde, baring their fangs and growling at the group.
“It seems that the umbilical cord can control the ghost baby.” Li Gushu’s expression relaxed.
Zhong Xuan said, “You really think it’s that simple?”
Bai Qiuye shook the bag in her hand, and the ghost baby’s gaze immediately fell on her, following her hand.
Bai Qiuye glanced at the ghost baby, “At least it won’t listen to you now.”
Everyone looked at Zhong Xuan.
No matter how capable he was, he had already been defeated.
One person might not be able to kill him, but if everyone worked together, it would be easy.
“Haha.” Zhong Xuan laughed.
It was like a gun was pressed against his forehead, but there was a cruel expectation in his eyes.
It was as if the arrow on the bowstring was not a deadly arrow, but a fragrant flower.
“As you can see, this is an umbilical cord,” Zhong Xuan said. “The one in her hand is the same as the one in my hand. It’s split in half.”
A strange look appeared in Bai Qiuye’s eyes. “Is there a difference between these two sections?”
“Of course.” Zhong Xuan said, “I left it there, waiting for you.”
Bai Qiuye’s sleeves shook, and her white fingertips pressed against the seal. Unable to bear the weight, the plastic bag emitted a grinding sound.
She asked, “Waiting for me?”
“Because I know that you will definitely return to examine that corpse.” Zhong Xuan stared at her. He had no intention of restraining himself. Like a venomous snake hibernating in his body, he burst out at this moment and strangled Bai Qiuye’s slender neck in the void. “Your personality is indeed the same as in the previous copy.”
Bai Qiuye took two deep breaths, and a burning pain came from her throat. This did not come from the injury on her chest, but from the mental injury she suffered.
At this moment, no amount of ghosts could compare to the fear she felt right now.
Zhong Xuan had guessed her intentions very clearly.
Bai Qiuye asked, “It’s not a coincidence, is it?”
Zhong Xuan replied, “I chased after you.”
Li Gushu’s astonished gaze alternated between the two of them.
She was unable to decipher the deeper meaning behind their expressions. She turned her head to look at Hei Chunhua.
She thought that Hei Chunhua would be the same as her, with a blank expression towards this confrontation.
Half of Hei Chunhua’s face, which was covered by a mask, was swallowed up by the shadows.
The indifference in his pupils had been ignited, and he was like a newborn baby who had no ability to conceal his emotions.
Unexpectedly, what was contained within was … killing intent.
For a moment, Li Gushu did not know what to say. She could only turn her head to Bai Qiuye and say, “Don’t waste words with him. We just need to control the ghost baby.”
Bai Qiuye’s hand that was holding the plastic bag fell to her side. Everyone’s gaze was forced to follow.
They saw Bai Qiuye’s fingers clench tightly around the plastic bag. They saw her blue meridians spread from her fingers to her sleeves.
Bai Qiuye said, “I admit defeat.”
Li Gushu did not understand what she was saying, but she had already made up her mind. “Move aside. I will take care of him.”
Just as Li Gushu moved, the ghost baby suddenly turned its head and licked its lips at her.
Bai Qiuye raised her voice and said, “Don’t come over! The umbilical cord in my hand has no way of controlling the ghost baby! ”
“What?” Li Gushu’s heart tightened.
“Control?” Zhong Xuan said with a smile, p”Even this cord of mine has no way of controlling it.”
Everyone’s expression changed. The air became so heavy that it was about to drip water.
“Do you think that the ghost that I spent so much effort to raise is just a little ghost that can be controlled?” Zhong Xuan said, “You are looking down on me too much. It will not be controlled by anyone.”
“Of course it will kill everyone.” Zhong Xuan revealed his eerie teeth. “Except for me.”
Just as his voice fell, the ghost baby suddenly pounced in Zeng Xianqing’s direction.
A clang sounded.
The ghost baby collided with a golden staff, releasing the sound of metal colliding with stone. The staff slammed it into the opposite building, directly smashing through the outer wall of the sixth floor.
The staff in Li Gushu’s hand was trembling violently. It was obvious how strong the collision was.
The ghost baby that was stuck in the wall moved its legs as if it was lying in a crib. It was as innocent as a soft and boneless baby.
Following its movements, the tiles on the outer wall of the sixth floor fell down.
The ghost baby crawled out again and climbed up the outer wall of the apartment building at an extremely fast speed, coming back to attack them.
Zeng Xianqing sat on the ground in a daze. Due to the sudden attack just now, her haggard eyes regained their vigour.
“No, it’s invulnerable.” Li Gushu’s slender eyebrows furrowed. “I guess we have to use a talisman that can suppress ghosts.”
“I can kindly tell you that it is an item that connects life and death. It is not afraid of any item that can suppress otherworldly items.”
Zhong Xuan said, “Don’t even think about killing me. After all, I am its father. If I die, it will really go crazy.”
“Right now, it is attacking indiscriminately. But if you kill me, it will target the person who killed its father.” Zhong Xuan said with a relaxed face, “So, do you dare?”
“You!”
“Why don’t you run away before it comes back? Maybe you still have a chance to live,” Zhong Xuan said.
“Let’s go.” Li Gushu lowered her voice and said to the others, “This ghost baby can force the zombies back. It is not entirely a bad thing. There is a room on the ninth floor with a very sturdy door that can block the ghost baby outside. We will think of a better way.”
Actually, she was not sure whether the door could block the ghost baby or not.
After all, its body could even smash through walls without any damage.
While they were talking, the zombies in the distance jumped toward them because the ghost baby was not there.
However, before they could get close, the ghost baby quickly climbed up the wall on this side.
The zombies were like mosquitoes that were forced back by an ultraviolet light, and they began to retreat.
Bai Qiuye saw the zombies’ movements, and an immature idea gradually appeared in her mind.
At that moment, the ghost baby leaned against the wall and rushed toward Bai Qiuye.
Hei Chunhua suddenly threw out an item. It was a very fine-looking talisman.
When Li Gushu saw the talisman, his expression changed. “Isn’t this from the Level 62 copy? Why do you have it?”
When the others heard this, their worried hearts were suddenly half at ease.
Wasn’t it easy for a Level 62 talisman to deal with a ghost baby created by Zhong Xuan?
However, when the talisman touched the ghost baby, there was no change.
It was as if the talisman had simply touched a stone.
[The talisman is ineffective?!]
[Impossible, what did Zhong Xuan do?!]
[This ghost baby actually nullified a Level 62 defensive prop?! How many levels is it?!]
[Looks like Zhong Xuan wasn’t lying. Props that can restrain ghosts really are ineffective against the ghost baby.]
[As expected of Zhong Xuan, he can always create such a big scene.]
[F*ck … Li Gushu is not going to die here, is she?]
The three high-level life and death duels made the live broadcast’s popularity surpass the first place and successfully win the traffic crown.
However, among the people present, only the last person in Ge Zixuan’s group still had his camera turned on.
The audience that flooded into the live broadcast could only watch the situation in the copy through his camera.
He suddenly felt that his income had skyrocketed. Looking at the number of survival coupons that kept rising on the terminal, he was so happy that he forgot the danger he was in.
Just as he was focused on the number on the terminal, a black figure pounced at him.
He hurriedly took out a prop to resist. At the same time, Li Gushu and Hei Chunhua acted at the same time.
However, they were one step too slow.
The moment the ghost baby touched the man’s face, it was as if his face was corroded. The ghost baby seeped into every pore on his body, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
“No, we have to leave,” Li Gushu said. “We don’t have enough time. We can’t find a way to kill the ghost baby.”
She had completely overturned her previous thoughts.
“There’s no point in hiding. We can only run.”
While running, they had to observe the enemy and find a way to kill the enemy.
Bai Qiuye nodded and pulled Zeng Xianqing. “Let’s run.”
Zeng Xianqing was no longer as depressed as before. As if she had found a new goal, she stood up and followed them.
Zhong Xuan leaned against the flower bed with his arms crossed, smiling as he watched them leave.
After the ghost baby finished eating the man’s face, it suddenly looked up and dashed forward like a black cat.
Only then did Zhong Xuan stand up straight and follow behind the ghost baby.
“Let me guess. Who will you chase first?” He already had an answer in his heart, and his expression became even more joyful.
Bai Qiuye and Zeng Xianqing ran to the fifth floor of Block B, Building 2.
Bai Qiuye turned back to look at Zeng Xianqing. The other party’s movements were gradually slowing down, and she was starting to feel exhausted.
“I can’t go on.” Zeng Xianqing leaned on a pillar and said, “We’ve already gone up and down seven or eight times. I really can’t run anymore.”
“Even if you can’t run, we have to run.” Bai Qiuye said. “It’s still behind us.”
In order to break through the zombies’ obstruction, Li Gushu and Hei Chunhua had led the powerful zombies away. Bai Qiuye and Zeng Xianqing had run together for more than ten minutes.
However, what made the two of them despair was that the ghost baby seemed to be certain of them. No matter how they tried to hide, it still followed behind them.
Bai Qiuye turned her head and saw the ghost baby appear at the corner of the stairs. Through the reflection of the tiles, she saw that Zhong Xuan was walking behind the ghost baby.
Bai Qiuye said to Zeng Xianqing, “You run first, but don’t go too far. Otherwise, you’ll encounter zombies.”
“You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to save me.” Zeng Xianqing said. “Quick, run with me. I can run now.”
