Realm of the Night God - Chapter 108: Resurrection

The sudden turn of events not only startled Yang Haoran, but also sent a shiver down the spines of the police officers present!

“He’s still alive!”

Chen Ying’s face lit up with joy. This was the first living person she had found in Yangjia Bay since arriving, aside from Yang Haoran.

Previously, they had received reports from residents of Yangjia Bay about multiple mentally ill patients appearing in the village. They behaved like wild beasts, attacking and devouring anyone they encountered. Many villagers had fallen victim to their attacks, and even livestock were not spared.

Upon learning of this, Chen Ying and her team, under the leadership of the team leader, immediately rushed to Yangjia Bay without delay, hoping to reach the scene as quickly as possible.

Upon arrival at Yangjia Bay, they were shocked by the sight before them. Bodies were scattered everywhere, yet not a single living person was in sight, not even livestock.

The entire Yangjia Bay was shrouded in an atmosphere of death.

In response, their team leader decided to split the police force into two teams and conduct a thorough search of Yangjia Bay from two different directions, hoping to find some clues.

Chen Ying was unaware of any discoveries made by the other team, but her own team had found nothing until they encountered Yang Haoran.

And just now, Chen Ying had unexpectedly found Yang Haoran alive among the corpses. This, coupled with the villagers’ reports of mentally ill patients in the village, reminded her of the previous incident at the hotel where someone had mistaken Yang Haoran for mentally ill and called the police.

Chen Ying couldn’t guarantee whether Yang Haoran was the murderer, but with such a horrific massacre happening in Yangjia Bay and only Yang Haoran remaining alive, it was hard for her not to suspect his involvement!

She wanted to capture Yang Haoran and then conduct a thorough investigation back at the station, believing that they would surely uncover something. However, what she didn’t anticipate was that as they gradually approached Yang Haoran, preparing to forcefully subdue him, a body on the ground suddenly moved!

In Chen Ying’s eyes, if it moved, it meant the person wasn’t dead; they were alive!

The existence of a survivor was undoubtedly a good thing for them, as it meant they could gather a lot of information from the survivor.

Yang Haoran’s reaction was quite the opposite of Chen Ying’s. The moment his ankle was grabbed, he inwardly cursed. He tried to jerk his foot away forcibly, but underestimated the strength of the person holding onto him. His ankle was firmly caught, and he couldn’t free himself.

“Don’t move! Move again, and I’ll shoot!”

Yang Haoran’s reaction evidently provoked the police. A police officer shouted angrily at Yang Haoran, his demeanor suggesting that he would shoot without hesitation if Yang Haoran made any more moves.

Instead of answering the police officer, a hoarse roar came from Yang Haoran’s feet. This hoarse roar not only caught Yang Haoran’s attention but also drew the attention of several police officers, including Chen Ying.

A face lifted from the ground, and upon seeing this face clearly, Chen Ying let out a scream of terror.

As a police officer, Chen Ying had witnessed many bloody and terrifying scenes, and she had extraordinary courage. However, the sight before her now made her unable to suppress her scream.

This face had been bitten beyond recognition, with no nose, one eyeball hanging outside the eye socket, numerous bite marks covering the face, some even revealing bone. Strangely, despite the mangled appearance, there was no blood flowing from it.

The person looked up at Yang Haoran as if a wild beast had spotted its prey, emitting a series of hoarse roars from his mouth.

“What… what is going on?”

The other police officers were also greatly frightened by the scene before them. Although they were all police officers with firearms, they were ultimately ordinary people. The scene before them was filled with eeriness and horror, enough to make any ordinary person feel afraid.

“It seems my guess was correct. It has indeed become a corpse puppet!”

Yang Haoran’s expression was grim. He struggled to free his foot from the grasp of the corpse puppet holding him, while shouting loudly at the police officers present, “Run as far as you can! Otherwise, you will all die here today!”

Several police officers looked at each other, including Chen Ying. Although they didn’t know what was happening before their eyes, as police officers, how could they choose to flee?

“Yang Haoran! Did you do this?” Chen Ying shouted at Yang Haoran, her voice filled with anxiety and anger.

Ignoring her, Yang Haoran exerted force several times but couldn’t free his foot from the grasp. This made him increasingly anxious.

He wasn’t incapable of freeing his foot; it was just that he hesitated. After all, the corpse puppet holding him had once been his family, his elder.

Seeing Yang Haoran’s silence, Chen Ying became even more flustered and angry. She was about to confront Yang Haoran when, at that moment, all the bodies on the ground suddenly began to move.

Hoarse roars echoed throughout the courtyard as broken and mangled bodies struggled to climb up from the ground one after another. Their appearance was horrifying, devoid of any trace of humanity; some were nothing but vessels of bloodthirsty madness!

This scene not only shocked Chen Ying and the police officers but also gave Yang Haoran a big scare!

“What in the world are these things?” Chen Ying couldn’t believe her eyes. Initially, she thought the person who had suddenly grabbed Yang Haoran’s ankle was a survivor, but now it seemed completely different from what she had imagined.

“Zombies? Are these the zombies we see in movies?” a police officer muttered with trembling lips, licking them dry.

This remark sent a chill down the spines of the other police officers present, as they realized that the appearance of these villagers indeed resembled movie zombies.

Even if they weren’t zombies, they were definitely not human anymore. Judging from their injuries and condition, if they were human, they would have long been dead and incapable of standing up.

“What do we do now?”

Chen Ying, feeling flustered, turned to her colleagues for advice.

“Let’s get out of the courtyard first!”

A police officer hastily suggested, and his proposal was immediately accepted by everyone. This place was too eerie; they had never encountered anything like it before. Faced with such a situation, they had no good solutions. The best course of action was to retreat first and figure things out later.

Their idea was sound, but reality dealt them a harsh blow. As they decided to leave the courtyard, they were horrified to find themselves surrounded by the creatures.

“Bad news! We can’t get out!”

One police officer’s face turned pale. As soon as he spoke, the corpse puppets around them began to frenzy towards them, including two mutated corpse dogs!

“Fire!”

A police officer roared. In this situation, they didn’t care what these creatures were; they knew that shooting might give them a chance to survive. If they didn’t shoot, they would likely perish here today!

This sentiment was understood by the other police officers as well. Even without his reminder, they would have fired decisively in this situation.

After a round of gunfire, Chen Ying and her team emptied their magazines, only to be horrified to find that bullets had little effect on these creatures. Apart from slowing them down slightly, the bullets were virtually ineffective.

Despite being police officers, they were now feeling somewhat panicked in this situation!

Their greatest reliance was their firearms, but now they found that their greatest reliance was ineffective against these creatures. How could they not panic?

“We need to find a way to break out!” Yang Haoran shouted anxiously, his voice reaching the ears of the police officers.

To be honest, Yang Haoran had always respected the noble profession of the police. Although some recent events had made him uncomfortable, especially Chen Ying’s words and actions, he would never reject all police officers because of this. If he were a police officer himself and encountered such a situation, he would probably also have doubts about someone like himself.

Meanwhile, Yang Haoran’s foot, which was grabbed, suddenly emitted a surge of Yin Qi as he activated his Yin spirit power. With all his might, he once again exerted force.

This time, he succeeded. Not only did he manage to free his foot from the grasp, but he also flung the person holding him away due to the excessive force, crashing into several corpse puppets rushing towards him.

He hadn’t chosen to do this earlier out of concern for hurting the other person, but now he had no choice. If he didn’t act, he would likely be the one to die next.

Now that his body was free, the most rational thing to do would be to find a way to break out of the courtyard. However, Yang Haoran had no intention of doing so. Instead, he looked towards the house without hesitation and dashed towards it.

He wanted to confirm whether his parents were inside. This was crucial to him, even more important than his own life. So, despite knowing that doing so would put him in an even more dangerous situation, he made the decision without hesitation.

As he rushed to the doorway of the house, twisted and deformed corpse puppets crawled out from inside with hoarse roars.

Yang Haoran’s body froze, and his heart sank at the sight. He couldn’t help but pray silently, hoping that he wouldn’t find his parents in the house.

The reason was simple: from the current situation, if his parents were indeed inside, the chance of their survival was almost zero!
