In a fleeting moment, the girl within the cocoon had grotesquely mutated into a bloodthirsty monster. Her white dress had also decayed and fallen off, revealing her morbidly pale skin, her emaciated torso, and extraordinarily long limbs with bulging veins, her nails as sharp as blades.
Particularly its teeth, sharp and serrated like a shark's, tainted with fresh blood, were shockingly gruesome.
"Boss Zhang, who let you say 'difficult childbirth'?"
Lu Bu'er murmured, "Now look what's happened."
Boss Zhang wore a smile uglier than a cry, "I'm sorry!"
Unfortunately, apologies were useless. The mummified corpse had already charged into the crowd, slaughtering indiscriminately!
"Run!"
Officer An roared as he fired his gun, hitting the mummified corpse's head and heart.
Unexpectedly, after its head and heart were penetrated, it still didn't die.
It even revealed a sinister smile.
The vast majority of people have never personally experienced death up close, let alone felt the despair of being splashed with blood and brain matter. What's more, they had never seen such a ferocious and terrifying thing. Just the horrible stench of decay was enough to stun them.
Therefore, those in front didn't even have time to react before being knocked to the ground by the mummified corpse.
It was like an open buffet for the mummified corpse, and those powerless individuals were like lambs to the slaughter, with only a fate of being butchered waiting for them.
Such a bloody scenario was enough to drive a normal person to madness, unable to distinguish whether what was happening in front of them was illusion or reality.
"I'm done, my cabinet moved, we need Uncle Jiu for this shit!"
One girl was unable to escape and was tackled. A nearby security guard grabbed a stun baton and rushed to save her, not expecting the high-voltage shock to be surprisingly effective, causing the mummified corpse to convulse.
"We can fight, we can fight! If we keep running, we all die!"
Grabbing the opportunity, Boss Zhang quickly commanded, "Let's take the chance to kill it!"
His words woke the remaining sense in everyone. They hurriedly looked around for weapons, some picking up steel rods, while others simply grabbed broken bricks and swarmed it!
Lu Bu'er's heart raced, and just as he was about to join the fray, he noticed the mummified corpse's eerie smile.
Right at the moment when Officer An was about to shove the gun barrel into its mouth.
The mummified corpse let out a piercing scream, like a demon from hell singing!
The high-frequency sonic vibrations penetrated people's brains as if directly striking at the depths of their souls.
Their ears filled with piercing noise, acute pain caused a brief blankness in consciousness, and they could no longer grip their weapons firmly, collapsing onto the ground, retreating instinctively.
While screaming, the mummified corpse had ripped open the girl's throat and, after drinking her blood, became even more ferocious. In an instant, it tore apart the security guard and lunged toward the remaining people.
A middle-aged tycoon's thigh was suddenly ripped open, and he collapsed with dreadful screams.
Lu Bu'er couldn't avoid the piercing screams either. The intense pain felt as if it drilled into his brain. In his field of vision was the grinning mummified corpse, like a demon crawling out of hell.
The will to live exploded within him, and he turned and took off running, only to unexpectedly be clutched at the leg by the severely injured tycoon, who screamed for help, "I don't want to die, please, save me! Save me!"
Now, Lu Bu'er couldn't escape even if he wanted to, as the horrific mummified corpse pounced on him like a wild beast, its withered face smeared with blood, baring shark-like sharp teeth in a wide grin.
The overwhelming stench made one nauseous.
The survivors, witnessing this, were even more terrified, suffering painfully from the shrieking as if they were living a fate worse than death. Blood flowed from every orifice, their expressions lost and vacant as if on the brink of death.
No one would come to Lu Bu'er's rescue.
In the midst of the horrific sonic assault, they were utterly incapable of fighting back.
This was the closest Lu Bu'er had ever been to hell, but just as his neck was about to be torn open, he resisted the excruciating pain and punched the mummified corpse on the head!
The agony didn't cause him to lose his fighting strength completely.
Because... he was used to it.
Years of battling cancer had numbed him to pain. What was more shocking and bewildering was that the pain caused by the shrieking sound was the same as the cancer pain he had endured for years.
Now, this suffering was no longer a punishment for him but caused a surge of endorphins. This had been his weapon in his fight against the disease for many years, and in the face of death, his adrenal hormones spiked, awakening the ferocity deep within him.
Memories from the past emerged as well.
The former Lu Bu'er had fought against such creatures in his initial tests.
"When it preys, it tilts its head to the right to bite at the throat!"
Lu Bu'er dodged to the opposite direction, narrowly avoiding that lethal bite.
Although powerful, this mummified corpse's body was already decaying.
High attack, low defense.
But very tenacious in life.
The shrieking was its skill, and its throat was its weakness!
Lu Bu'er thrust the Swiss Army Knife into the mummified corpse's throat, thick, fishy blood splattering on his face, his gaze as fierce as a wild beast's.
"Scream, why don't you scream for me?"
The mummified corpse's crimson eyes revealed a bewildered look, seemingly not comprehending.
The Swiss Army Knife was tearing through its throat inch by inch!
The mercifully sharp screams came to an abrupt end.
Lu Bu'er's counterattack was effective. In the moment of life or death, his heart pounded wildly, unleashing his ultimate strength and awakening his ferociousness!
