lamp in this room. The dim light made me feel like it could go out at any moment. If even this lamp went out… I… what would I do…I used to think evil spirits were terrifying, like that cold man when I...My brother was driving while opening the lid of his headrest, pulling out a miniature electric baton from a pile of contraband.

"Xiao Qiao, put this on your hand. It's useful for living people... Will you use it" He stared intently at the car ahead, took down its license plate number, and sent it to his uncle.

I put the wrist guard on my right hand, this small taser should be fine for self-defense.

"Don't get shocked and pull back, understand Don't place it near your laptop bag or your heart, or you might kill someone. We'll be in trouble then." My brother warned me with some concern.

"Understood." I nodded. At the very least, I had to protect myself and not hold my brother back.

Sometimes I would rather face monsters than people, because we can deal with monsters, but people are more dangerous than monsters.

"Tch, sometimes I feel like Lin Yanhuan's privilege is really useful. At least when dealing with these living people or zombies, pulling out a gun solves most problems... Zombies can be destroyed at will, and living people are afraid of bullets." My brother sighed.

I lowered my head to send my location on my phone, my mind wandering aimlessly. I was both nervous and distracted.

Two little bundles of joy started to wriggle in my belly. I'm not sure if they were just full from their nap, but I definitely felt strong kicks. It was like two bubbles popping inside my stomach, accompanied by a warm tingling sensation.

"Actually, we're not afraid. After all, we have two little ancestors protecting us. We just need to be wary of the living. Let's hurry and get to Shen's territory. I estimate that there isn't a single wicked soul in this circle who would dare to challenge the gate of Shen's mountain." My brother comforted himself.

"I'm afraid they'll make a move halfway through..." I saw from the rearview mirror on this side that the van behind us was starting to snake.

They were looking for an opportunity, and as they approached the mountain behind the scenic area, the van behind us started to speed up and drive alongside us.

My brother yelled and threw a plate first. Our car was heavy and had lots of bumpers, so it pushed the van straight into the ditch.

Two men crawled out of the van. I found it strange that all these grave robbers always seemed to operate in pairs.

"It's said they go out in pairs, master and apprentice, and only handle three bodies at a time," My brother stepped on the gas and sped forward, catching up to the business car.

The business vehicle was much larger than ours, and we were quickly outmatched. It sped away on the road, pushing us into the ditch.

"Damn it, Qiao! Unbuckle your seatbelt! We're making a run for it!" The car rammed straight into a haystack by the roadside.

I have a psychological shadow toward hay bales. Last time, I found lots of dismembered and rotting flesh inside a haystack, it was so disgusting.

The car plowed through the haystack, and we jumped out and ran forward.

We are not far from the Shen family's mountain gate now. If we go smoothly, we can sneak over the back mountain, which is safer than driving on the main road.

"Shh, there's a farmer's house here. Let's hide quietly," my brother led me around to the back of a wooden house. It was an empty room belonging to a farmer's family. There were some odds and ends piled up inside. The owners probably went out to celebrate the New Year.

We must have walked in on something. I glanced at my brother.

He curled his lip and said, "There's no other way, I can only find a place to hide first. Otherwise, it's easy for them to find us in broad daylight."

It's still some time before dark. We are sitting in someone's shed, waiting for rescue. My uncle sent us a message to protect ourselves first and that he is coming with people as soon as possible.

Out of danger, I started to yawn and feel drowsy. It wasn't that I was fearless, it was just that the pregnancy symptoms were too intense. Every day, I felt so tired that I couldn't open my eyes.

I leaned against my brother's shoulder for a while, drowsy, until I felt someone approaching me.

That person walked from far away, seeming to call my name.

“… Mu Xiaoqiao.”

His tone carried a hint of arrogant amusement.

I saw him walk before me, looking down at me with such an air of superiority. I tried my hardest to raise my eyes to see his face, but my eyelids felt as if they were weighed down by a thousand pounds.

Sleep paralysis I'm just leaning on my brother's shoulder to take a quick nap right now. In such a terrible environment, I could still experience sleep paralysis

He chuckled softly, knelt before me, his face coming into view—

A black devil mask.

With glaring eyes and bared fangs, a ferocious and menacing look.

... in stark contrast to his ethereal grace.

"Ah——!!" I shivered all over and woke up suddenly from my dream!

My mouth was immediately covered, and my brother shook his head at me sternly, motioning for me to be silent.

The chill in the air jolted me awake instantly from my dream—we'd been discovered!

Those corpse collectors should be searching for us separately. At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside, making my scalp tingle. My hearing was especially acute, and I heard the rhythmic sound of footsteps.

Are these their zombies

My brother gently pushed me away, motioning for me to leave the doorway. He drew out his whip and waited for whatever was charging in.

"Boom!!" With a dull thud, the wooden door of the cabin was smashed open, and a gust of foul-smelling wind rushed in.

I gagged, covering my mouth — I couldn't stand the stench of death!

My brother's whip came slashing through the air, but it missed! The walker outside was actually a hunched-over old woman who was barely even five feet tall!

This corpse looked very fresh, with its flesh and skin hanging limply, dangling sickeningly. But the worst part was her body.

It must have died very recently. The body wasn't dry yet and was still severely decomposed and bloated, looking round and covered in livor mortis.

She was wrapped in a white cloth, and with every movement, you could see her body underneath. Her chest... I don't know how to describe it.

shriveled and drooping, like two cucumbers swaying, now rotting with maggots and yellowish corpse water oozing out.

Don't say I'm gagging, even my brother couldn't stand it and let out two disgusted groans: "Damn it… Can't they get a more decent corpse … This dead old lady must have been a bombshell when she was young... So breast care and massage are important, Xiao Qiao. Make sure your husband rubs you more when he has nothing to do."

You're kidding me! You're blaming me for this!

"Mu Yunfan! You better figure something out!" I blurted out.

"Shh shh shh!!" My brother quickly hushed me with a hand gesture!

I quickly covered my mouth, there might be other corpse collectors and ghouls around. If I shouted...

It's all my brother's fault! That guy has a messed-up way of thinking.

I bit my lip in frustration. Oh, this is bad…

My brother picked up a broken chair from beside his feet and smashed it into the hunchbacked corpse of the old woman. She burst like an overinflated balloon when my brother hit her, showering us with corpse fluid and guts!

I'm about to faint from this stench, I reflexively ran towards the door.

Outside the courtyard, two corpses blocked the gate.ugh, are you thinking of getting married just so you wouldn't have to worry about making her cry Once you're married, you won't have to be so careful.""What do you think I'm looking for trouble You do...
