Chapter 64: Death and Plague
Damn it, what the hell is going on!
Xun’er is the source of this abnormal disaster? What kind of joke is this!
It must be a mistake somewhere!
After that, the situation never happened again; there should be no more problems.
I fed Xun’er blood every day, and after that, her berserk state should have ended!
And Xue Qing and Zi Ai are the protection targets? Why protect those two?
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand what happened! Damn it, why wasn’t I there!
“Calm down.”
Suddenly, I felt my cheeks burning. Li Nai had placed the coffee can against my cheek.
Just as I was about to get angry, I saw her unusual, serious expression, and my anxious mood calmed down.
…Calm down, now is not the time to panic, and besides, panicking is useless.
This is far from the worst-case scenario.
As long as I find Xun’er before the Control Department and resolve this matter, that’s enough. No matter what, I must see Xun’er first.
I don’t believe it’s Xun’er’s doing. Something must have happened to her, which caused this… Otherwise, I would never believe it’s Xun’er’s doing.
“Thanks, but using something hot to calm me down.”
“Well, because our body temperature as zombies is too low.”
Li Nai shrugged and continued.
“This is a full intervention from the organization, you might not have seen the organization’s power yet. If the organization was willing to intervene in the Ghoul incident last time, they could have suppressed it instantly. And the fact that they are intervening to this extent is already an incredible thing. So, what should we do, Jun Cheng?”
“Do you even need to ask! Of course, we have to save her!”
“…Heh heh, just as I intended! Let’s go teach little Xun Xun a lesson!”
Li Nai smiled freely, and my mood was also infected. I immediately nodded, and as I walked towards the third district, I started making a call.
What we are about to do might be considered betraying the organization, but neither Li Nai nor I hesitated. We made our decision instantly.
Always side with my friends! First, I need to gather information. It’s most important to understand the current situation. So, the sooner I can find the source of this disaster! And then help me track Xun’er’s location and send the information about this disaster to my phone.
“Lan! Tell me about the disaster.”
“Finally, help me interfere with the Control Department’s system, and make the Control Department people play later than me!”
It was almost a command, but Lan didn’t ask anything and directly agreed. “Okay! Be sure to come back safely!”
“Got it, but if I come back, I’ll hug you for a whole day!”
“Ah, I promise!”
“One day isn’t enough!”
I don’t have time to bicker with you now! You vixen!
“Got it! If I can come back, I’ll stay with you for as many days as you want!” Li Nai said with a mischievous smile as she ran, chuckling.
After hanging up the phone, we were…
“Running and talking, be careful not to bite your tongue!”
“Ga-ooh!” BUZZ
Along with Li Nai’s howl from biting her tongue, the phone’s notification sound rang. Several dots appeared on the map, representing Xun’er, Xue Qing, and Zi Ai. She sent the information so quickly.
I opened the app and saw the detailed process of the incident. Lan’s efficiency was quite high. She sent a video and a text document.
Then, I received another message.
I clicked on the video first. Using the downloaded footage, the screen showed an intersection. The pedestrians and vehicles on the road had already…
It seemed to be through surveillance cameras. The number of people had decreased. At this moment, a figure walked to the streetlight next to the intersection.
It was Xun’er! Wearing a black silk nightgown, barefoot, she crossed the road. A car appeared on the screen and hit Xun’er.
Xun’er, wearing a black silk nightgown, her black long hair blocked the car and bound it. The driver inside frantically opened the car door and fled. Xun’er wasn’t hurt at all. She turned to escape without looking back but was entangled by Xun’er’s hair – no, she was “eaten”!
The driver scrambled out of the car, which was still running! And it actually ate a person! Hair Grandpa, what are you doing!
Gluttony Hair actually…
Tsk, which means it was because Gluttony Hair went berserk…
So, it was because Xun’er started eating indiscriminately everywhere… In fact, it hasn’t ended yet! It branched out.
At this moment, I thought it was…
She opened her mouth and spat out a ball of black something.
Another thing appeared from the hair.
At first glance, it looked like a ghoul, but looking closer, it was a mass. The mass was covered in black… tongues and mouths. Green liquid dripped from its mouths, and under the mass were hoof-like things. It had tentacles and mouths with jagged teeth, and green liquid dripped from its mouths.
This thing could stand on its own.
That… is a ghoul? A real monster! Completely…
The monster extended its tentacles and smashed the surveillance camera, and the video stopped playing.
…Is it? Or is it that… If “eating” one person creates such a monster, did Xun’er create…?
…The consequences are unimaginable!
No wonder it’s a disaster!
It’s too terrifying!
We’ve already entered Black Street. There’s no one in Black Street, which is understandable. The organization’s members…
When I turned off the video, we…
Messages have been coming in constantly since a while ago, all asking for more manpower… The situation is really getting more serious. Almost everyone has been mobilized, right?
The situation and Zi Ai were not in Black Street. Judging by the map, they were both in the third district!
As the protection targets…
We left through an exit of Black Street and arrived at the edge of the third district. It’s not that we didn’t want to go directly to the center. Both I and Li Nai didn’t have faith…
We directly left through an exit of Black Street…
The teleportation points near there have all disappeared.
We came out from under the overpass connecting the second and third districts, climbed to the riverbank, and when I looked back, I saw something that made me dumbfounded.
A spherical object covered half the city…
This made me see more clearly.
This is truly a disaster. Without a single shred of doubt, if disasters can still come tomorrow, life will never be the same as before… Daily life has been shattered.
I frowned.
I stopped and thought deeply.
If we go in recklessly like this, we might die miserably. Based on the video, Xun’er has completely lost herself and has become something else.
“No way, we’ve come this far…”
Wimping out now? Rushing in blindly is just suicide. We need to think of a plan.
“If we don’t even have the ability to protect ourselves, we’ll just be eaten by that… tentacle monster as soon as we enter.”
This video was taken an hour ago. If Xun’er has been repeating this act of eating people and creating monsters for an hour, the third district must be overrun by monsters by now!
This is far from over!
It’s not enough, I need to find some help first. Hey, Li Nai, don’t rush in alone this time!
“Our strength alone…”
“That’s because… Ah, she, she… Ugh, anyway! I won’t be impulsive anymore!”
Seeing Li Nai make a promise, I nodded and started crossing the bridge. The black sphere seemed to be expanding very slowly. It’s estimated that in ten minutes, this bridge will be swallowed.
“If only Yu Hui were here. Her magic is real. With her, there would definitely be a solution.”
I wish I had her here. Her pressure might have some effect on those monsters. I can’t see the title through the screen, and I don’t know if that tentacle monster has a name.
I don’t know if my spiritual body’s ability is much different from hers. However, if there’s really no other way, we’ll just have to force our way through.
“I’ll protect you!”
“Forget it, your physical ability is not much different from mine, okay? But if there’s really no other way, we can only grit our teeth and go through.”
“Give up, Jun Cheng. I won’t let you go.”
The person I am most familiar with walked over from the bridgehead behind me.
That voice made me look up.
It was Lian Bing. Both her expression and the color of her title clearly told me one thing.
She is blocking our way.
Her mood is very…
You’ve realized it, haven’t you, Jun Cheng? That… thing… is no longer Kaoru Tsukiyose.
“Give up, you see it too. That… thing… is no longer Kaoru Tsukiyose.”
Her smile had disappeared from her face, and she looked a little haggard, holding her left arm… Was she injured?
Her hair was messy, and the hair ornament she usually wore to tie it up was gone, her hair was spread out, and her skirt and stockings were torn.
Her hair looked darker than usual.
She looked disheveled.
She… The black sphere…
She didn’t contact me via phone.
She probably lost her phone.
I didn’t even notice this… Damn it, what was I doing!
The situation isn’t over yet…
“Wait, Lian Bing!”
“It’s too late!”
She interrupted me forcefully, her voice hysterical.
S-skirt! That thing! It can’t be stopped anymore… Unlike that time, it’s… You don’t know!
Lian Bing covered her cheeks with both hands, her shoulders trembling slightly. That was pure fear. What did she see there?
Lian Bing, with her hands covering her cheeks, her shoulders trembling slightly. That was pure fear. What did she see there? The arrogant Lian Bing actually showed such an expression and begged me. In a hoarse voice, she pleaded.
“Please… don’t go, okay? I promised her… I won’t let you die again.”
…
Ruansui.
“Even if you hate me… It’s okay… I won’t let you pass! I don’t want to see you die in front of me again!”
…She’s already estimated…
Should I run away? Aren’t you being too arrogant, An Juncheng? Do you think you can be useful? You’ve always chosen to avoid danger, haven’t you?
Running away is your choice. Such thoughts echoed in my mind, persuading me to run away, but… my legs wouldn’t obey.
I can’t run now. If this black sphere continues to spread, even my home will be affected. I have to go there.
Whether it’s wishful thinking, or even narcissism, it’s fine!
“She” said, as long as I don’t give up on anyone.
Since I’ve decided to build a harem, I have to be responsible for everyone in the harem.
No matter what disaster, no matter what danger!
No matter what abnormality!
I’m ready to accept it all!
No matter what Xun’er has become, I will go to her side.
So, my answer is:
“Move aside, Lian Bing.”
I knew that words wouldn’t be able to persuade Lian Bing, so I directly used my spiritual pressure.
Lian Bing bit her lower lip, drawing bright red blood, but she didn’t show any signs of backing down.
My heart ached, but I still resolutely gave another command.
“Move aside! Ji…”
“Jun Cheng, leave this to me.”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, what’s with the fighting?”
Li Nai came to my side and patted my shoulder.
“Go ahead, Jun Cheng. I’ll hold her back here.”
She stood tall and proud, with her chest puffed out.
Then she crossed her arms and said arrogantly, “This time, I’m on your side!”
Lian Bing ignored Li Nai and stared at me, saying again.
“Jun Cheng,”
I gritted my teeth and smiled feebly.
“No matter what, I love you, and I love you even more.”
“I won’t hate you.”
As I left, turning my back to Lian Bing, I saw tears rolling down her cheeks. When I get back, I’ll wipe away your tears.
After leaving the confession, I patted Li Nai’s shoulder and said.
“I’m counting on you…”
“Don’t let her get hurt.”
“Ah, leave it to me!”
… Waiting for me to save.

Now, there’s another person.
“Move aside, or you’ll die too.”
“Jun Cheng is working hard right now. If you really consider yourself his girlfriend, you shouldn’t stop him, but support him with all your might.”
“That’s only if he’s alive!”
“He’s not exactly alive, is he? Heh heh, he’s my companion?”
“Speaking of which, Little Bing Bing, aren’t you a ghoul lover? Now you don’t want Jun Cheng to die? It seems everyone changes… Ah… Your trademark smile is gone, hehe呵呵~”
“…I have nothing to say to you. I have something to say to you.”
“In the underworld, I’ve seen so many of them that I’m tired of them. I was even a ghoul handler for a while. This thing won’t scare me.”
“Seriously… Then I’ll talk to you seriously too. Ji Lian Bing, I can actually understand. You love your lover, your wife, so you don’t want him to go to dangerous places or encounter life-threatening situations. This is the same as how I care about you. Your mother, I don’t want my mother to die either… He is my companion, and Little Xun Xun is also my companion. So I support his decision to be his support. You can’t stop him from doing what he wants to do.”
“If you die, everything will be gone.”
“Be proud of your man! That’s a woman who supports him from behind, isn’t it!”
“That’s only if you can get him!”
“Unreasonable!”
“Heh heh~ This is a romantic scene, Young Miss who doesn’t understand, don’t ruin the atmosphere!”
“She’ll have to pull her in too!”
“Eh, a part of your corpses is no longer under your control? They are no longer your friends. To say ‘Ah, sorry, these are my companions.'”
“And, the things on your side, can you give me some? Although skeletons and ghosts might not work, if they are physical zombies…”
“I can also infect one… with the same power as me.”
“So that’s how it is…”
“You are Disaster of Death, and I… uh, what was it?”
“Hmm, I don’t think…”
“No matter what you are,”
“Hey, Little Bing Bing, do you know where the zombie… virus originated?”
“What!”
“…You’ve made a…”
“It seems that my control over the physical body is superior.”
“…Is it the source of the corpse-infesting virus? Pfft, right, I remember now, I seem to be the Plague…”
“I seem to be the Plague!”
“Heh heh~”
