Chapter 533: 533 Sing it Again Now
Once night fell, every household in the village closed their doors and windows. Was it because the villagers knew that the cadaver carrier would not let them off?!
In an instant, the old woman was already approaching, laughing maniacally!
Shen Mo drew out his long knife and, without any hesitation, swung it at her!
But the knife completely missed!
The old woman’s body seemed like a phantom. When the blade fell, it was as if it swept through a cloud of smoke, causing no harm whatsoever!
Shen Mo was taken aback. Seeing the old woman pounce, he didn’t have time to think and swerved to dodge!
The old woman moved with incredible agility, chasing after Shen Mo, her raised hands looking sharp and terrifying like eagle claws! She left three scratch marks on Shen Mo’s back in an instant!
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
She laughed crazily, her hair disheveled as she chased Shen Mo, her eyes wide open and her jaws wide apart!
The shrill laughter was almost piercing through the eardrums!
Shen Mo was temporarily at a loss, he could only retreat constantly in a defensive stance.
— He couldn’t harm the old woman, but she could harm him, this fight was hardly fair!
Happening upon the cart parked at the entrance of the courtyard, Shen Mo swung his arm to chop off a row of bamboo poles from the courtyard wall, leapt over and simultaneously shouted: “Du Lai! Carry the corpse!”
The old woman, in pursuit, slammed her lower body into the earthen wall with a thud! Then, like a human spider, she crawled over the wall with shocking speed, chasing after Shen Mo!
Du Lai knew that Shen Mo was creating an opportunity for him.
He quickly rushed out of the courtyard, lifting the straw mat from the cart—
Underneath the mat was a woman’s corpse!
The woman seemed to be around 60 years old, her body extremely thin, her limbs like dried branches, grey-white hair loose, her white garment stained with fresh mud, as if she had just died not long ago.
The corpse and the zombified old woman looked exactly the same!
“Du Lai!!!”
Fu Miaoxue suddenly shouted from the doorway!
Du Lai looked up to see the old woman, who had been chasing Shen Mo, was coming back!
She was crawling on the ground with distorting limbs, unbelievably fast! In the blink of an eye, she was right in front of Du Lai, emitting spine-chilling laughter from her mouth!
Without any hesitation, Du Lai wrapped up the corpse with the straw mat, carried it on his shoulders and turned to run!
Bear the corpse, bear the corpse!
The ultimate purpose of carrying the corpse was to bury it!
Li was so concerned about her own corpse, the corpse must be the key to solving the game mystery. Perhaps as long as the corpse is buried, the game could end?
This possibility was great, he had to give it a try!
But Du Lai did not expect that the old woman would be so fast. He had barely run a few steps when his ankle was seized—
In an instant, the seized leg felt like it was pierced by an icicle! Du Lai fell in pain, his face pale!
Shen Mo rushed over from behind, picked up the straw mat from the ground and ran far away.
The cadaver carrier released Du Lai and turned to chase Shen Mo!
Even agile Shen Mo was no match for her. After running a short distance, he was caught up with. Unable to dodge, he had to drop the corpse wrapped in the straw mat.
However, the cadaver carrier still did not give up pursuing them!
The frenzied laughter echoed in the dark rainy night, and the entire village was deadly silent. No one opened the door, no one opened the window, Shen Mo and Du Lai had no place to hide, even if they wanted to!
In the room, Fu Miaoxue and Bai Youwei were helplessly pacing.
Bai Youwei shouted into the dark curtain of rain: “Run towards the old scholar’s house!”
All the houses in the village were closed. The old scholar’s house was the only place they could hide! Even if there were those strangely acting paper dolls, it was still better than dealing with the monstrous undead before them!
Fu Miaoxue was so anxious, she almost wept: “Damn it! The old scholar’s house is too far away, we won’t make it in time! The zombie is too fast!!!”
Suddenly, Bai Youwei seemed to think of something. She turned to Fu Miaoxue with urgency: “…Quick, Quick! Sing that opera you sang last time, sing it again!”
