Chapter 23

When Fangli rushed out of the alley and back onto the street, the scene before his eyes had already completely changed.

The fiery red color was spreading.

Thick black smoke was spreading.

Rundown houses were collapsing.

Roars and cries of anguish were mixed together.

At this moment, the fortress known as Xianjin Station had already turned into a sea of fire, with one building after another burning, gradually heading towards destruction.

"It's like hell..."

Fangli couldn't help but mutter these words.

After all, on the street, disfigured corpses lay in various corners, oozing large amounts of blood, making people shudder.

If this wasn't hell, then what was?

At this moment, even without activating the Dead Apostle Eyes, Fangli could understand.

What surrounded him was not anything else, but the concept he was most familiar with—“death.”

As previously mentioned.

"Xianjin Station is finished..."

Saying this, Fangli looked at the disfigured corpses on the ground, his expression not changing in the slightest.

However, not long after, the look in Fangli's eyes changed.

"Ugh... Ahhhhh!"

In a groan that sounded like a baby's cry, a corpse on the ground suddenly began to move.

Like a puppet being manipulated by invisible strings, the corpse began to crawl from the ground, standing unsteadily, and emitting a harsh roar from its throat.

This corpse, not only had its skin turned a deathly gray, but its pupils had disappeared, leaving only the whites of its eyes.

The most noticeable feature was undoubtedly the chest of this corpse.

Because, inside it, a heart was gradually glowing.

"Is this what it means to be a Kabane?" Fangli couldn't help but exclaim.

Generally speaking, humans attacked by Kabane mostly die from massive blood loss.

However, after a certain period of apparent death, the hearts of these dead people begin to glow and they revive, turning into Kabane—creatures without reason that only attack humans.

Even if they survive being bitten by a Kabane, they will eventually die and revive as a Kabane after some time.

This is known as the latent period of a Kabane, which varies in length from person to person, but will not last more than three days.

Now, Fangli was witnessing this scene.

The moment when the dead turned into Kabane.

"Even death is not allowed?"

Fangli tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand, his eyes flashing with an icy blue light.

However, before Fangli could act, someone else had already moved.

"Bang!"

With a loud gunshot, the chest of the newly transformed Kabane, which was glowing, burst into a blinding spark as if struck by an invisible force.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

In the next second, several chaotic gunshots echoed, repeatedly striking the chest of the Kabane, which had been hit by an invisible force.

In the end, the chest of the Kabane exploded.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot, and the heart, no longer protected by the heart membrane, was directly shattered, completely losing its glow, turning the Kabane back into a corpse, which fell to the ground.

Fangli was momentarily stunned, then understood something, turned his head, and looked at the roof of a nearby building.

There, Mumei, holding two steam guns, said to Fangli with some dissatisfaction: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and follow me!"

After saying this, Mumei didn't even wait for Fangli's response and began to run, leaping and moving on the roofs of buildings like a nimble cat.

Seeing this, Fangli couldn't help but feel a bit amused.

"Truly a capricious cat."

Saying this, Fangli still followed.

The surrounding buildings, burning in the flames, were slowly beginning to collapse.

Naturally, there was not a single living person left on the street, only the bodies lying on the ground.

Of course, besides the motionless corpses, there were also moving corpses.

"Aaaaaahhhhh!"

With the same harsh roars, one after another, the Kabane attacked Fangli, extremely terrifying.

However, this time, Fangli did not stop, as if the Kabane were nothing, and ran forward madly.

After all, those Kabane didn't need Fangli to deal with them.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

As the Kabane charged toward Fangli, gunshots echoed clearly.

Each time these gunshots sounded, the Kabane attacking Fangli would fall as if hit by invisible bullets, and soon be finished off, one by one, their hearts shattered, dead beyond any doubt.

From Fangli's perspective, although Mumei, leaping and moving on the roofs of buildings like a ninja, did not look this way, she accurately and without fail shot down each Kabane on the path, ensuring that Fangli faced no threats.

"Without comparison, there is no harm, but why is the difference so great?"

For Fangli, killing a Kabane wasn't that difficult.

The movement pattern of the Kabane was too simple, basically just charging forward to attack. As long as there was a way to penetrate the heart membrane, even an ordinary person could kill a Kabane, let alone Fangli, who had learned many killing techniques on his own.

However, when the number of Kabane increased, even Fangli had no way to deal with them, either having to run or find a way to trick them.

But Mumei didn't need any tricks.

With the two steam guns in her hands and her shockingly accurate shooting skills, killing Kabane was too easy for Mumei.

To surround and kill Mumei, it would probably take hundreds of Kabane.

But for Fangli, being surrounded by just a dozen or twenty Kabane would be almost certain death.

"Truly worthy of..."

Fangli didn't say the rest.

Because Fangli knew it was still a secret.

Watching Mumei's increasingly fast figure, Fangli could only gather his strength, speed up, and catch up.

...

In a direction far from the city gate, even in the opposite direction, there was a garage.

Inside the garage, a cold, gleaming Iron Fortress was parked, quietly waiting to be activated.

When Fangli and Mumei arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered here.
