N-A-A Chapter 30 The Hungry Ghost Incident Erupts
Chapter 30 The Hungry Ghost Incident Erupts
It's unclear when it started, but the entire Luoshan Village was shrouded in a bluish-black haze. The fog and firelight in the village were suppressed and gradually disappeared, until only some firelight and grayish-white haze remained around Sun Rui.
Beside the village ancestral hall, a charred figure stood silently, flames and mist swirling around its body, making it seem as if no one could tell who was superior.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and the activity of flames and mist on Sun Rui's body gradually weakened.
The people of Luoshan Village did not all die; in fact, many survived. However, the dark, gloomy atmosphere left the entire village without any extra light.
A painful scream shattered the village's tranquility.
Lin Cuilan lay on the ground, howling in pain. Her stomach had swelled up, making her look pregnant, even though she hadn't been pregnant just a day or two ago.
Moreover, she could feel the thing inside her stomach trying to crawl out of her body, which was not a normal childbirth.
Because at this moment, her stomach felt as if it were about to be torn apart, and the shape of a bluish-black baby could be vaguely seen on the surface of her bulging belly.
"What the hell is this thing?" Lin Cuilan uttered her last words, her eyes gradually losing their luster.
A bluish-black baby tore open her belly and crawled out.
"Wow wow wow~"
The sound of its crying seemed to announce its birth.
This situation is very common in the village; even the men who survive are often heavily pregnant.
At this moment, in Qin Qiuyun's house, Zhong Hang was heavily pregnant, and the face of a baby would occasionally appear on his belly. He struggled in pain, not knowing what was wrong with him. The three of them had escaped from the charred earth the night before and thought they had survived, but they never expected to encounter this situation.
"What should we do? I've never delivered a baby before, and Sun Rui is dead. Are we doomed?" Qin Qiuyun said.
"Zhao Xu, take her and run! Don't worry about me, I can feel that thing in my belly is about to come out," Zhong Hang said, covered in sweat.
"Let's go!" Another policeman named Zhao Xu glanced at Zhong Hang with pity, then pulled Qin Qiuyun away from the house.
As they reached the door, a bluish-black baby crawled out of Zhong Hang's belly.
Chung Hang is dead.
Unaware of what was happening, the two continued running outside, unaware that the dark blue-green infant had moved and was chasing after them.
The two arrived at the village entrance.
"Did you hear any footsteps?" Qin Qiuyun asked in a terrified tone.
"It seems so," Zhao Xu nodded.
When he came out of the house, he had a feeling that he was being watched by something.
The two turned around and saw a dark-skinned child tilting his head and looking at them.
"Ghost! Ghost!" Qin Qiuyun was so frightened that she immediately took off running, not daring to stay in one place for a moment.
Just as Zhao Xu was about to catch up, the bluish-black infant appeared on his body in an instant.
The baby opened its mouth, which didn't fit its tiny head, and bit Zhao Xu directly.
Zhao Xu felt as if he were melting.
"This monster is going to eat me!" Zhao Xu cried out in pain, trying to struggle but it was too late.
Zhao Xu disappeared quickly, leaving no trace, except for a dark-skinned child who tilted his head and began to wander aimlessly through the village.
Screams echoed through the village from time to time, and fear gripped the few remaining survivors.
This scene played out repeatedly in Dachang City.
From a high altitude, the entire city of Dachang is shrouded in this bluish-black haze.
This is the ghost realm of the starving ghosts, covering an entire city, and its vengeful ghost level has reached S-rank.
A temporary command post was set up in a location outside Dachang City that was not shrouded in smog.
"Damn it! Let me take a chance, I'll go and bring Professor Wang Xiaoming out!" Li Jun extinguished the cigarette in his hand, his face full of anger. The dark blue haze isolated Dachang City from the outside world, and only a more powerful ghost domain invasion could get in.
"Don't be impulsive! Professor Wang is in a safe house and is not in danger!" Zhao Jianguo said in a deep voice.
A few days ago, Wang Xiaoming's younger brother, Wang Xiaoqiang, invited a ghost tamer to kill Yang Jian in order to get revenge on Yang Jian. However, unexpectedly, Yang Jian forced him to retreat instead. At this time, Yang Jian had already dealt with several supernatural events and had become a prospective leader, commonly known as a temporary worker.
Headquarters clearly stipulated that attacking the person in charge was equivalent to treason. Headquarters supported Yang Jian's action to eliminate Wang Xiaoqiang, but at the same time, it was concerned that Wang Xiaoming was a relative of Professor Wang Xiaoming, so it tacitly approved Wang Xiaoming's rescue.
Of course, the final result was obvious: Yang Jian killed his brother with his own hands in front of Wang Xiaoming.
It was at this time that the starving ghost incident broke out, and the ghost domain enveloped the entire city, trapping Wang Xiaoming in Dachang City.
"What can we do? We can't just let this thing keep occupying Dachang City!" The green ghost fire on Li Jun's body was stirring restlessly. As a soldier, he couldn't even protect his own country's city.
"Don't be impulsive. Yang Jian has already devised a plan. Now we need to wait," Zhao Jianguo said.
Previously, Yang Jian had proposed two conditions to headquarters for imprisoning the starving ghost: contact and imprisonment. Yang Jian stated that he could meet these two conditions, and headquarters granted his permission to proceed. However, three days have passed, and there has been no further news from Yang Jian.
Fortunately, the supplies in the safe house have not run out and can meet the survivors' normal survival needs. If the supplies run out and there is still no news from Yang Jian, the headquarters will have no choice but to try to rescue Wang Xiaoming.
Li Jun did not answer him. He squatted down and lit a cigarette. He could not act on his own will, otherwise he might mess things up. But when it was his turn to sacrifice, he would not hesitate.
After calming Li Jun down, Zhao Jianguo returned to the command post and inquired about the current situation in Dachang City.
"Still can't get in touch with Sun Rui?"
"Report! Sun Rui's current location is still within Dachang City, but there has been no response. It is highly likely that he is dead."
How long can the supplies in the safe house last?
"According to Professor Wang Xiaoming's estimate, there are about four more days," the correspondent replied.
"Keep an eye on Sun Rui and keep a record of the situation inside the safe house. Professor Wang Xiaoming cannot die," Zhao Jianguo said.
Not long after the outbreak of the starving ghosts, Wang Xiaoming convened a meeting to devise a plan to imprison them. This required all the ghost tamers in Dachang City to act together, but Sun Rui remained silent.
"He's most likely dead," Zhao Jianguo sighed.
Outside the ancestral hall in Luoshan Village.
The charred corpse remained motionless, the flames on its body had mostly died out, and the mist no longer wafted in and out of the corpse as before, but instead thinly covered its surface.
The screams from Luoshan Village have ceased, and only a bluish-black baby remains wandering the entire village.
Not long after, a bluish-black baby came to the vicinity of the ancestral hall. He tilted his head as if he had found some interesting toy, and immediately threw away the human head he was holding.
The head rolled on the ground until it was upside down before stopping. Sun Ran's face was rotten and decayed, but it was still recognizable as Qin Qiuyun's face. She had also died somewhere unknown to anyone.
The bluish-black infant approached the corpse, and just as it was about to touch it, a flame erupted from the corpse, igniting the nearby ground and engulfing the bluish-black infant.
The bluish-black baby was being scorched by the flames, and bluish-black smoke kept rising from its body.
It disappeared completely in no time. The baby was just a supernatural creation, not a real ghost, so it would disappear when it encountered a powerful supernatural entity.
At this point, the black residue on the charred corpse gradually peeled off.
The corpse's eyes regained their sparkle.
"I'm not dead..." A rough, hoarse voice, like two pieces of dead wood rubbing together, came out.
