Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 55: Chapter 11_3

The group of house servants outside rushed in at this moment. The zombie turned around, opened its mouth, and sprayed a large amount of black fog. The paper figures around and further away all fell to the ground before they could charge forward.

In an instant, the entire banquet hall became much more open.

The zombie raised its arms again and leaped toward the old lady. At this time, the corpse energy around it boiled, and evil qi surrounded it.

Without the help of the paper figures, the old lady could only confront it head-on.

Li Zhiyuan grabbed Qin Li’s hand, "This is the time, run!"

He and Qin Li crawled out from the corner and rushed towards the door.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A miserable scream of the old lady echoed beside their ears. They immediately saw the zombie choking the old lady’s neck and smashing her forward, blocking the direction of the door.

The evil qi surrounding the zombie wrapped around the old lady, creating a burning sensation. The old lady, who could previously launch a sneak attack, now suffered pain just by getting close.

Li Zhiyuan had to stop, and Qin Li beside him stopped too.

The zombie, which had the old lady pinned down, turned its head to look at the two children.

In its clouded eyes, a greedy look emerged. It could sense that the two of them were not paper figures, exuding the alluring scent of blood food.

It instinctively opened its mouth, spewing black fog towards them.

Li Zhiyuan immediately pulled Qin Li back, but the black fog came so fast and furious that it quickly forced them into the wall corner.

Qin Li started to tremble, and Li Zhiyuan sensed it, squeezing her hand tightly.

*At this moment, the only comfort he could offer her was this pale, useless gesture.*

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the zombie emitted a scream, and the black fog that had nearly closed in on Li Zhiyuan started rapidly retracting.

The sight ahead became clearer all at once. It turned out that the old lady’s ten fingers had already pierced into the zombie’s neck.

"Hahahahaha! I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you!"

The old lady’s fierce appearance resurfaced. The downy hair on her body had already wilted, and her skin was charred black. Yet, she exuded a sense of madness.

The zombie crazily howled, its arms continuously stabbing down, blow after blow landing on the old lady, but she wouldn’t release her grip on its neck.

...

"Damn it...he..."

Li Sanjiang painfully clutched his neck; it hurt terribly.

*More than the pain, what tormented him was his inability to breathe.* He might find a way to endure the pain and bleeding, but if this suffocation continued, he felt he would surely stop breathing.

Behind him, all the zombies were clutching their necks.

However, as the posture persisted, one zombie released its hands, followed by the second, then the third...

Gradually, some zombies began to stand up, their gazes shifting from blank to fierce, fixing on Li Sanjiang.

Li Sanjiang still clutched his neck, his face gradually turning blue. *At this point, he almost wished the zombies would rush forward and tear him apart quickly, for at least it would grant him a swift end, sparing him from the agony of suffocating to death.*

...

Inside the banquet hall, the furious zombie raised its arms high again and smashed down on the old lady’s head.

The old lady, who a moment ago seemed like she would perish together with the zombie, unexpectedly let go. Her entire body kicked upward against the zombie’s abdomen and smoothly slid down.

"Boom!"

The zombie’s claws plunged into the ground, momentarily getting stuck in a push-up position.

The cat-faced old lady stood up, her body swaying. She was entirely charred, even the whiskers on her face had been burned off, which showed her dire state.

However, she managed to divert her attention at this time, turning her head to look at Li Zhiyuan and Qin Li, who were pressed against the wall.

"My little one, hehe, Grandma can’t beat it."

Her call carried a chilling coldness, and her eyes were filled with spite.

Just like the first time Li Zhiyuan saw her in the dream at Cui Cui’s home, she had lain on Niu Fu’s back, looking at him with such eyes.

"Roar!"

The zombie finally pulled its fingers out of the ground, spinning halfway before standing up straight again.

Though it was in a sorry state, clothes tattered, pus oozing, its fierceness remained untouched—nothing the current cat demon old lady could match.

The zombie lunged at the old lady once more.

Yet this time, the old lady sidestepped instead of confronting the zombie, sliding toward Li Zhiyuan’s direction.

Seeing this, the zombie immediately turned, continuing to pursue the old lady.

Li Zhiyuan couldn’t understand why the old lady would rather expose her entire back to the zombie and come after them first.

*Was it because she wanted to drag two more down with her before dying?*

"My little one..."

The old lady stopped in front of Li Zhiyuan, her eerie smile deepening.

Ignoring the zombie closing in on her, instead, she stretched out her already curled and cracked claws toward Li Zhiyuan, which emitted a faint, strange luster.

Li Zhiyuan felt as if his body began to float, and because he was gripping Qin Li’s hand tightly, she started to float as well.

This sensation was familiar to Li Zhiyuan; he had dreamt before. This was the prelude to waking from a dream; they were about to escape!

At this moment, Li Zhiyuan felt his vision start to blur, even the appearance of the old lady in front of him became less clear, but he could still hear her final words:

"My little one... Grandma is sending you off first."
