When Feng Shun and Du Danmin arrived at the first floor via the elevator, the lobby was already filled with soldiers ard to the teeth.
"Tingjue, what on earth happened in the underground mortuary?"
Feng Shun found his subordinate, Deputy Commander Wu Tingjue, and asked.
Wu Tingjue pointed to a few people in the corner of the wall.
These people were precisely those who had lingered in the mortuary before - the dical experts from Stealing Country and other investigation team mbers.
Their faces were ashen, clutching their chests and gasping for air.
"They said the corpses in the mortuary have reanimated!"
Wu Tingjue replied with a grave expression.
"What? They’ve reanimated?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Shun exchanged a glance with Du Danmin.
Both of their faces showed an identical look of shock.
The corpses had been fine before, so how could they suddenly reanimate?
Just as the two were puzzled, a sudden rush of footsteps was heard.
"Raise your guns, prepare to fire!"
At Wu Tingjue’s command, the soldiers in the lobby raised their guns, aiming at the door leading from the underground mortuary to the first floor.
As the footsteps approached, everyone in the lobby couldn’t help but swallow nervously.
The door slowly creaked open, and a white figure appeared before everyone.
Just as the soldiers instinctively prepared to pull the trigger to fire at the figure, soone shouted: "Hold it!"
"Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot!"
"This is our Professor Jin from Stealing Country!"
The person who suddenly spoke up was none other than a mber of the Stealing Country investigation team.
"Look at his neck, there’s sothing on it!"
Soone shouted, and everyone imdiately focused their attention on his neck.
The sight made everyone gasp in shock.
Attached to Professor Jin’s neck was a shriveled arm.
Upon closer inspection, the arm’s fingers were tightly gripping Professor Jin’s throat, turning his face purple, as if he would suffocate any second.
"Go pull that arm off!"
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Professor Jin, Wu Tingjue instructed two soldiers behind him.
The two soldiers, emboldened, stepped forward.
One grabbed the shriveled arm, while the other held onto Professor Jin.
With a Herculean effort, they managed to pull the arm away from Professor Jin’s neck.
"Huff... Huff..."
Professor Jin took deep gulps of air as if reborn.
After a while, his face regained so color.
"You’re Professor Jin, right?"
"Did the mummies in the underground mortuary really reanimate?"
Feng Shun imdiately inquired.
"Yes, Mr. Feng!"
Professor Jin nodded while holding his neck, saying, "For so unknown reason, those mummies suddenly started moving, as if they gained life."
"This shriveled arm actually ca from one of those mummies."
"That mummy suddenly grabbed my neck, I struggled for a long ti, only managing to sever the mummy’s arm with a surgical knife!"
"Plop... Plop..."
Just as Professor Jin finished speaking, strange footsteps once again emanated from behind the door to the underground mortuary.
"Oh no, those mummies must be climbing up!"
Professor Jin’s face changed, shouting loudly.
Everyone heard this and quickly retreated, while the soldiers once again raised their weapons towards the door.
"What’s going on here?"
At this mont, investigation teams from various countries entered the lobby.
Having seen the Koukang soldiers starting to assemble, they hurriedly arrived here.
"Reanimation!"
"The corpses in the underground mortuary have reanimated!"
Feng Shun simply explained.
"Re... reanimation?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but show confusion on their faces.
Weren’t they fine before? How could they have suddenly reanimated?
While everyone was puzzled, the door from the underground mortuary to the first floor was pushed open once more.
No, more accurately, it was burst open!
A wobbly mummy slowly appeared in everyone’s view.
Everyone present instinctively took a step back.
Especially the mbers and experts of the investigation teams from various countries.
They still rembered the appearance when they first t these corpses today.
At that ti, the corpses’ eyes were closed, facial expressions contorted, remnants of forr terror visible.
But now, these corpses all had their eyes open, with a slight upward curve at the corners of their mouths, revealing an eerie smile.
What on earth was going on?
Corpses confird to be dead, standing upright again?
Even the experts and professors couldn’t find a reasonable explanation.
Helplessly, everyone looked towards Feng Shun.
Feng Shun shook his head helplessly.
Who knows what happened, how these mummies "ca back to life"?
Clearly, before the various country investigation teams arrived, these corpses were behaving themselves!
After the first mummy passed through the door, more and more mummies poured out.
This even included mummies that had been dissected by several dical experts.
And the mummy whose arm Professor Jin had severed.
These mummies, with their eerie smiles, stumbled step by step towards everyone present.
"Chairman, shoot them!"
Wu Tingjue turned to look at Feng Shun, requesting.
Feng Shun hesitated for a mont, then gritted his teeth and said, "Shoot!"
"At my command, fire!"
Wu Tingjue ordered, and the soldiers quickly pulled the triggers, the muzzle spitting fire, bullets raining down on the mummies.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
After the gunfire ceased, the already weak mummies were instantly riddled with holes.
Limbless torsos lay scattered everywhere.
The entire lobby reeked with a nauseating stench of rot.
So female investigators couldn’t help but retch upon slling the stench.
Feng Shun, covering his nose, glanced forward.
The mummies’ bodies had been torn asunder by bullets, pieces of flesh and limbs littered the ground, making for a disgusting and horrifying scene.
But the good news was that these suddenly reanimated mummies finally quieted down.
"Feng, you shouldn’t have shot!"
At this mont, Leonard, the leader of the Eagle Country investigation team, exclaid in anger.
Hearing this, Feng Shun was baffled.
Just a mont ago, everyone’s faces were ashen with fright, and seemingly about to wet themselves, and shooting was the wrong call?
Leonard ignored the puzzled Feng Shun and continued: "At their speed, those mummies shouldn’t have been able to harm us."
"We should have captured them and taken them to the lab for research!"
"Not turned them into a pile of useless dead at with bullets!"
Upon hearing this, others suddenly realized.
Indeed!
Given the mummies’ slow and clumsy movent, how could they have hard us?
We should have captured these mummies, to investigate how they reanimated.
Unfortunately, everyone was too shocked and frightened just now, completely forgetting this point...
