83: The zombie has turned into a zombie.

"Something happened? Does the Blood God Cult still have remnants? Or did that demonic corpse return?"

Yang Weiguo was startled. Although he hadn't directly fought the demonic corpse, Mayor Ren Jing had seen it with her own eyes and had informed him of everything that happened yesterday.

Moreover, Yang Weiguo had been in the Criminal Police Team for a long time and had witnessed all sorts of strange cases. He had also encountered some cases that couldn't be explained by common sense, so he had some understanding of these supernatural matters. Therefore, his first reaction was to assume that the demonic corpse had returned.

"None of them—"

The young Criminal Police Officer shook his head, jogging over, still a little out of breath.

"Xiao Zhang, don't rush. Catch your breath first, then speak."

Xue Min, who was beside him, couldn't help but remind him.

Criminal Police Officer Xiao Zhang patted his chest, let out a sigh of relief, and then said, "Captain Yang, hurry and come see! Something big has happened! The corpses of those Blood God Cult members have come back to life! They've all turned into zombies!"

"What? Corpse transformation! Quickly, take me there."

Yang Weiguo was greatly alarmed. Although he had indirectly encountered such things, he had never seen them directly. The idea of corpse transformation was truly hard for him to believe.

"Master, let's go take a look too. Something's fishy."

Qin Shou originally didn't intend to get involved in this mess. After all, from his perspective, the Police's mission was already complete, the money was in hand, and he wanted to stay as far away from this kind of trouble as possible.

However, he didn't expect that at this moment, Ling'er's voice would sound in his mind again.

"Fishy? They use Gu, so isn't corpse transformation normal? It's not like we haven't seen it before."

Qin Shou looked puzzled. He had previously witnessed those Blood God Cult members who couldn't be killed no matter how many times they were attacked, so he thought corpse transformation was perfectly normal.

"Master, you don't know. Gu worms generally parasitize in human blood. The demonic corpse previously drained the vital essence of these people and killed all the Gu worms in their bodies. Therefore, the corpse transformation of these Blood God Cult members is not due to the Gu worms in their bodies; it's very likely that they have truly become zombies."

Ling'er patiently explained.

"Real zombies? Oh my, that's so spooky! And you still want me to go there!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou thought, this damn system, why does she always make me jump into every pit she finds. He couldn't help but feel some resistance; after all, zombies sounded chilling.

"Master, you can't curse! I'm doing this for your own good."

As if sensing Qin Shou's thoughts, Ling'er pouted unhappily, expressing her displeasure.

"Hehe, I was just thinking it casually, don't take it seriously."

Qin Shou chuckled awkwardly, quickly explaining.

"Brother Qin, what are you laughing at? You don't believe in zombies? Do you think this kind of thing is funny?"

Yang Weiguo, seeing Qin Shou inexplicably laugh, frowned slightly, a bit displeased, as the situation was serious.

"Uh, Brother Yang, don't misunderstand, I just thought of something happy!"

Qin Shou quickly covered his mouth, his face serious.

"Let's go, we'll go take a look."

Yang Weiguo knew the situation was urgent and didn't want to waste any more time. He didn't bother to dwell on such small matters and spoke to Criminal Police Officer Zhang Bin beside him.

"Brother Yang, why don't you take me with you to see? I've had contact with the Blood God Cult members before and witnessed their methods of being unkillable. Perhaps I can be of some help."

Just as Yang Weiguo was about to move, Qin Shou immediately suggested.

Yang Weiguo was stunned. He hadn't expected Qin Shou to actively ask to go along to such a dangerous place.

However, he remembered Qin Shou's extraordinary skills. They were originally there for cleanup, so they hadn't brought many combat personnel. At this moment, having an extra helper was beneficial.

With this thought, Yang Weiguo nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Qin, you can come along and take a look!"

Led by Zhang Bin, the five of them jogged all the way to the entrance of the cave where the Blood God Cult was located. At the entrance, there were seven or eight people, all members of the Criminal Police Team. Each of them looked solemn, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

"Captain Yang—"

When the crowd saw Yang Weiguo arrive, they immediately gathered around him as if he were their backbone.

"What's the situation now? Where are Wang Tao and Dr. Zhong?"

As the captain of the Criminal Police Team, Yang Weiguo knew exactly who was under him. He immediately noticed that his team member Wang Tao and the forensic examiner Dr. Zhong, who had come to analyze the crime scene, were missing. His heart sank.

"Captain Yang, they're inside!"

One of the young Criminal Police Officers pointed inside the cave, his voice trembling slightly, clearly frightened.

"Nonsense! How could you abandon your teammates!"

Yang Weiguo's face turned ashen when he heard that Wang Tao and Dr. Zhong were still inside the cave, their lives unknown. A surge of anger rose in his heart.

"Captain Yang, we were analyzing the crime scene with Dr. Zhong when, unexpectedly, those corpses lying on the ground all started to get up and bite anyone they saw. Our guns couldn't kill them at all; bullets hitting them were like hitting steel, completely ineffective. In desperation, we instinctively rushed out. At that time, over a hundred corpses had all come to life, and the scene was very chaotic. We couldn't look after each other.

Wang Tao took Dr. Zhong deeper inside. We only realized they were trapped inside after we escaped. But Captain Yang, don't worry, the walkie-talkie is still working. Wang Tao and Dr. Zhong are trapped in the innermost secret room and can't get out, but the group of zombies outside seems to be afraid of something and doesn't dare to enter, so they are temporarily out of danger."

Seeing Yang Weiguo's anger, Zhang Bin quickly explained.

"Hmph! Even so, you shouldn't have abandoned your teammates."

Upon hearing that Wang Tao and Dr. Zhong were temporarily out of danger, Yang Weiguo's expression softened slightly, but he was still displeased with the other Criminal Police Officers' behavior of abandoning their teammates.

"Ah—!"

Just then, a zombie suddenly stumbled to the cave entrance and snarled at the people outside the cave, baring its teeth.

This sudden scene made Xue Min scream in fright, her face losing all color. She quickly took a step back, right into Qin Shou's arms. Qin Shou instinctively hugged Xue Min, feeling a pair of soft and elastic things press against him, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Qin Shou showed a mischievous smile, comforting Xue Min while secretly enjoying the soft touch in his arms.

Xue Min's pretty face flushed. Realizing she was leaning in Qin Shou's arms, she quickly pushed him away, feeling a mix of annoyance and an indescribable emotion swirling within her.

Fortunately, the zombie was clearly afraid of sunlight. It stopped when it reached the area illuminated by the sun, not daring to take another step forward.

Seeing this, Yang Weiguo didn't say a word. He drew his gun and fired three shots in quick succession. However, these three bullets had no effect on the zombie, as if they had hit steel. They merely forced the zombie back a few steps and caused no substantial damage.

Instead, the loud gunshots attracted more than ten zombies wandering nearby. Hearing the gunfire, these zombies gathered at the cave entrance like sharks smelling blood, completely blocking the entrance.
