Chapter 1352: Chapter 1351: Gu Poison Evolution
But in the next moment, everyone was scared to death because what appeared before them was a monster with two large fangs protruding from its mouth and glowing red eyes.
"Everybody run!"
Captain Jiang was more experienced, and his first reaction upon seeing the situation was to tell everyone to quickly escape.
But the monster was incredibly fast, and with a swift move, it grabbed a policeman and bit into his neck.
"Protect Captain Jiang."
Though frightened, the forensic doctor was still loyal. The remaining few heard the command and stood with their knives to shield Captain Jiang’s escape.
Chen Tianlong saw what was happening and gently patted the sleeping Wu Mengting. She groggily rubbed her eyes and immediately realized something was wrong, coming to full alert.
"Chen Tianlong, has something happened?" Wu Mengting looked at Chen Tianlong and asked with some anxiety.
"Yes, it seems like there’s fighting inside. I think the culprit has appeared." Chen Tianlong said resolutely, looking at the dim light not far away.
With that, the two rushed over. Just as they reached the door, they saw a group of people protecting Captain Zhang as he ran out, while gut-wrenching screams continued inside.
Chen Tianlong immediately pulled out the Dragon Slayer Sword from behind and turned to Wu Mengting, saying, "Mengting, wait outside. I’ll go check it out first."
"Okay, be careful, Chen Tianlong." Wu Mengting said with concern.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be careful." Chen Tianlong smiled casually.
The culprit was already at the door by this time. Chen Tianlong recognized him through the dim light—indeed, it was Fang Xiaotong. However, the next moment shocked Chen Tianlong.
What he saw was a monster with a mouthful of sharp teeth, red eyes, and a seemingly vacant gaze. Apart from recognizing Fang Xiaotong’s clothes, everything else was barely identifiable.
Chen Tianlong ran over without hesitation, and Fang Xiaotong was trying to rush over, wanting to bite Captain Jiang’s neck. Captain Jiang was panicked—he had never encountered such a fierce monster.
As the monster approached him, Captain Jiang could only close his eyes.
In the next moment, he heard a "clang" and decided to open his eyes. A young man in his twenties appeared before him, wielding a broken sword and battling the monster.
The monster paused in surprise, not expecting an interruption like Cheng Yaojin. But having lost his mind, he paused only for a few seconds before launching the next wave of attack.
Oddly enough, his target remained Captain Jiang, completely ignoring Chen Tianlong.
He continued to leap forward, attempting to bite Captain Jiang. Seeing the monster persistently targeting him, Captain Jiang was greatly alarmed. But Chen Tianlong appeared in front of him again, stabbing with the sword.
The monster’s body seemed unnaturally hard, and even the Dragon Slayer Sword made clanging sounds upon striking, occasionally sparking from friction.
Chen Tianlong fought for a while but decided not to be entangled any longer, vigorously swinging the sword and sending powerful Sword Qi toward the monster.
"Roar..."
After a miserable shout, the monster was clearly injured. He retreated a few steps before his entire body turned red, his hands slowly transforming, and five fingers suddenly became sharp claws.
Chen Tianlong was startled and frustrated at the same time, thinking: "Damn, can everything evolve? Is it about to go berserk?"
But before he could dwell on it, the monster was already charging at them. He hurriedly shouted, "Wu Mengting, quickly take Captain Jiang to a safe place."
At this point, Wu Mengting ran over and, together with the forensic doctor, escorted Captain Jiang away. Chen Tianlong worked hard to fend off the monster’s attack. Once Wu Mengting was distant, Chen Tianlong suddenly soared into the air, using the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique. At that moment, the Dragon Slayer Sword emitted a slight orange glow.
Chen Tianlong suddenly flipped and stabbed downward. Seeing this, the monster desperately pushed up, and the two forces froze in mid-air. Seconds later, Chen Tianlong’s Dragon Slayer Sword broke through the monster’s defenses, stabbing directly into the monster’s left shoulder.
However, the monster seemed unaffected by pain; his claws continued reaching upward.
Chen Tianlong hurriedly pulled out the Dragon Slayer Sword, flipped backward, and landed behind the monster.
The monster finally targeted his attacks at Chen Tianlong, raging furiously. The edges of his huge fangs were emitting a ghostly blue smoke, looking terrifying.
Chen Tianlong remained highly vigilant, as he sensed Fang Xiaotong was completely controlled by the toxicity.
Now the monster began intense attacks, flipping between his hands and soon producing a mass of purple-black stuff. Then he swiftly ran over and suddenly pushed his hands towards Chen Tianlong, sending some unknown substance flying towards him.
Chen Tianlong sensed the mismatch and quickly swung his sword. The substance was shattered and dispersed nearby, but Chen Tianlong immediately discovered the air around him filled with Poisonous Qi.
After the Poisonous Qi dissipated, strange things happened: the police officers just killed by Chen Tianlong, along with the family corpses inside, suddenly began to move.
In no time, all the corpses stood up. Chen Tianlong noticed their eye color was green, different from Fang Xiaotong’s. It seemed they were infected by the virus derived from Fang Xiaotong—actually, it was a variant virus spread by the pathogen, also a progeny of the Gu Poison.
At this moment, all the corpses had become fighting monsters, slowly advancing on Chen Tianlong. Despite his shock, Chen Tianlong didn’t forget to deal with them: he leaped into the air, holding the Dragon Slayer Sword, swiftly darting and slashing among the monster corpses, and within seconds, the bodies lay limp on the ground.
Chen Tianlong caught his breath, but the next second he was frustrated again.
Because what he saw was the newly knocked-down corpses quickly recovered and stood up again, slowly surrounding him.
Chen Tianlong realized it wasn’t right, thinking: This is bad. At this rate, his strength will be drained by them.
At this point, Fang Xiaotong, the giant monster, also rushed over. Chen Tianlong knew he couldn’t withstand their relentless attacks, so he flipped and leaped, speeding toward Wu Mengting.
"Everyone, hurry up and leave. This place is not suitable for long stays. We’ll think of a solution once we get back. It’s caused by a virus, and we must find the person who made this virus and get an antidote."
Chen Tianlong didn’t have much time to explain, so he quickly said a few words, then took Wu Mengting and escorted Captain Jiang away.
The monster, seeing Chen Tianlong and the others running away, didn’t chase them further. Having lost his senses, his next target was infecting others in the village.
Overnight, the entire Fang Family Village became a wasteland of corpses. What was once a quiet and peaceful village turned into a dead city almost instantly.
The next morning, the county police increased manpower and arrived at the village, but what they saw sent chills down their spines. Corpses were everywhere, with no survivors.
Captain Jiang was heartbroken seeing the situation, feeling incredibly guilty as their leader. But he never expected the whole village to become this way overnight.
Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting also came over, seeing Captain Jiang’s sorrow, they consoled him.
"Captain Jiang, it’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself." Chen Tianlong also felt a bit responsible, but he knew they were helpless against the virus. If they hadn’t left last night, they might have become corpses now.
Captain Jiang looked at the bodies and ordered preparations for their burial.
"Hold on, Captain. Do you remember last night’s scene? Maybe these corpses are already infected with the virus. It’s unclear whether contact will lead to infection, so I suggest disinfecting first."
Remembering last night’s events, Chen Tianlong felt a bit fearful.
"This brother is right. I almost forgot."
Captain Jiang nodded and waved his hand, signaling not to approach temporarily.
The police retreated and summoned disinfection specialists, essentially spraying sulfur and lime water.
Chen Tianlong felt it might work against ordinary viruses, but doubted last night’s virus had any use. Yet he couldn’t think of a better solution, so he remained silent.
The day was overcast, and soon it thundered and rained lightly, prompting everyone to rush indoors to avoid the rain. The bodies were beat upon by rain, and half an hour later, suddenly a corpse stood up, followed by the rest.
