The policewoman collapsed on the ground.
"I was being chased by something behind me," the policewoman said.
"You've found us, so you've found the organization," Bai Xiaofei said.
"In a bit, you'll represent the organization to handle it," Zheng Xiaotian said, looking at Bai Xiaofei.
At the door, a Pokémon ball rolled in.
"Is it a Pokémon ball? Can a little Pokémon jump out of it?" Zheng Xiaotian laughed, looking at the Pokémon ball.
"It's catching up!" The policewoman turned and saw the Pokémon ball, becoming even more panicked.
"I need to hide for a moment." Bai Xiaofei flipped over and landed behind a table.
Zheng Xiaotian completely lost faith in Bai Xiaofei.
"Pikachu!" Instead of a Pokémon, a child wearing a Pikachu costume with a terrifying face appeared from the side of the door.
"You scared me to death. I thought it would come out of the ball, but it turned out to come from the side of the door." Zheng Xiaotian patted his chest.
"Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu." Pikachu hopped toward Zheng Xiaotian step by step.
"Stop it, you damn thing!" Zheng Xiaotian gathered strength in his right leg and kicked Pikachu in the stomach.
Pikachu couldn't withstand Zheng Xiaotian's kick and flew backward.
Pikachu's hands dug ten fingers into the ground, making a rustling sound, and ten deep scratches appeared on the ground.
Pikachu slid about ten meters and stopped, glaring at Zheng Xiaotian angrily. He looked like a fierce tiger about to attack.
"Are you going to use Thunderbolt?" Zheng Xiaotian asked, looking at Pikachu.
Zheng Xiaotian felt a sharp pain in his chest. He knew it was the result of the remedy not being 100% effective.
"Let's end this quickly." Zheng Xiaotian stepped toward the door.
"Sir, don't go out," the policewoman shouted at Zheng Xiaotian.
Outside the door, an Ultraman wobbled toward Zheng Xiaotian.
"Ultraman, are you sent by heaven to protect us?" Zheng Xiaotian asked, looking at Ultraman.
Ultraman ignored Zheng Xiaotian.
Based on his walking posture, Zheng Xiaotian guessed that Ultraman was also a Corpse Brother. Now, he had to face two of them. He had to deal with one first.
Zheng Xiaotian picked up the Pokémon ball and threw it at Pikachu, shouting, "Pikachu, return to your Pokémon ball!"
Whoosh...
With a bang, the Pokémon ball hit Pikachu's face, and Pikachu flew backward due to the strong impact.
A figure ran toward Zheng Xiaotian.
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Run!" The figure passed by Zheng Xiaotian.
Ultraman changed his target and ran toward the running man. In the next second, he tackled the man to the ground.
Ultraman rubbed around, unable to bite the man due to the mask.
"Wearing a mask, you can't eat, so you can't evolve and are particularly weak. Alright, stop fooling around and push him away," Zheng Xiaotian said to the terrified man.
"Weak?" The man, hearing the word "weak," wasn't weak anymore. He immediately threw a hook punch at Ultraman's chin and shouted, "Stop rubbing, get lost."
Ultraman was knocked to the ground.
Whoosh...
A leek flew through the air and pierced the man's temple.
Zheng Xiaotian looked at the trajectory of the leek. He saw a wave of Corpse Brothers.
"Bai Xiaofei, the wave of Corpse Brothers is coming, run!" Zheng Xiaotian shouted, then picked up the policewoman and ran. He thought, Xiaofei, this time, I'll give you the advantage.
After running ten meters, a figure shot in front of Zheng Xiaotian.
"Damn, how fast can you run 100 meters?" Zheng Xiaotian looked at Bai Xiaofei's back.
"Run, Pikachu is coming," Bai Xiaofei said, looking back, and continued to run.
Zheng Xiaotian looked back and saw it was true.
"Relying on Bai Xiaofei, even your wife would be in trouble." Zheng Xiaotian shook his head and ran.
Pikachu accelerated, faster and faster. In a blink, Pikachu was running faster than Zheng Xiaotian.
Pikachu blocked their path. Where was Bai Xiaofei? That guy had already rushed ahead. Pikachu was a grudge-holding creature and now had a grudge against Zheng Xiaotian.
"The final battle is inevitable." Zheng Xiaotian said to the policewoman on his shoulder, "Miss Policewoman, hold on tight."
Zheng Xiaotian held the policewoman, gathered strength in his legs, and leaped over two meters. He aimed his right foot at a signpost two meters high and kicked it.
"Let me give you a cold shock." Zheng Xiaotian kicked, and with a crack, the signpost broke, and the sharp end shot toward Pikachu.
Pikachu, being a Corpse Brother, didn't fear death.
With two bangs, Zheng Xiaotian landed steadily on his feet.
"Pikachu!"
Zheng Xiaotian looked back. Pikachu was indeed stuck to the ground, unable to move, but not dead.
Crackling sounds filled the sky as lightning appeared.
"Is this Pikachu's ultimate move, Thunderbolt?" Zheng Xiaotian swallowed hard.
The lightning struck, but the target wasn't Zheng Xiaotian but Pikachu, who had a temporary lightning rod in his body.
"Don't just stand there, run!" Bai Xiaofei appeared and shouted at Zheng Xiaotian.
Zheng Xiaotian thought, when there's danger, he runs faster than anyone, but when there's no danger, he appears just in time. The policeman's moves were all learned by the other side.
Zheng Xiaotian, the policewoman, and Bai Xiaofei reached the hotel. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a figure stood in the lightning-filled background, glaring at them.
"Damn!" Zheng Xiaotian looked out the window.
Bang! A Corpse Brother crashed into the glass but didn't break it, so he slid to the ground outside the hotel.
"Scared me to death." Zheng Xiaotian shook his head.
"I feel hot all over." Bai Xiaofei looked at Zheng Xiaotian.
"It seems the cold remedy didn't work completely." Zheng Xiaotian's mind raced, trying to recall how the situation was resolved in the Corpse Brother plot.
"I think I should book a flight to the North Pole," Bai Xiaofei suggested.
"The North Pole?" Zheng Xiaotian said, "Let's go to the storage room. The cold there can serve as a cold remedy."
Zheng Xiaotian thought, Bai Xiaofei wasn't completely useless. In this life-or-death situation, if not for his reminder, it would have been hard to recall the plot.
