"Yes, yes, your subordinate understands!"
The guard captain nodded repeatedly.
Ling Feng tossed the woman, whose fate was uncertain, to Yang Fei. He then said coldly to the guard captain, "Prepare the medicine according to the prescription and have everyone drink it. Remember not to remove the needles from their bodies. After they've taken the medicine and recovered, you can remove the needles, send them to the hospital, and wait for their recovery!"
The guard captain was completely bewildered.
He hadn't even taken the prescription from Ling Feng.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want to bear the responsibility for these people's lives alone?"
Yang Fei reprimanded him.
The guard captain suddenly came to his senses, quickly took the prescription from Ling Feng's hand, and nodded repeatedly.
As the guard captain gave his orders, everyone began to act.
Ling Feng and Yang Fei finally left the scene with relief.
Lin Siqi and the others were startled when they saw Ling Feng and Yang Fei walk in, with Yang Fei carrying a woman covered in blood.
"What happened to Ling Feng?"
"This woman has no breath left!"
"Corpse poison, how can this woman have corpse poison?"
Ji Yunyue was quite sensitive to corpse poison and made an immediate judgment, her brows furrowed slightly.
Ling Feng shook his head at them and did not speak.
Seeing this, they all understood Ling Feng's intention and made way, no longer bothering Ling Feng and Yang Fei.
The woman was brought by Ling Feng to his alchemy room.
After Yang Fei put her down, he looked at Ling Feng nervously, "Heavenly Venerable, can this person be saved?"
"The corpse poison has entered the bone marrow; there is no saving her. However, Zhou Jin can try to clone and revive her! Also, have someone pursue the corpse demon from before. I've already investigated, and there's no trace of it within a thirty-kilometer radius, but some residual aura has been left behind. Someone skilled in tracking should be able to find the person."
Ling Feng decisively ordered Yang Fei.
Yang Fei immediately responded and began issuing commands.
"Remember, have everyone be vigilant about the corpse poison on this corpse demon. Capture it alive! This person is quite strange; they wouldn't kill people for no reason!"
After speaking, Ling Feng began to dissect the corpse. Soon, he found a mass of pulsating flesh balls, which were extremely disgusting!
Yang Fei had already finished issuing his orders.
He looked back at what Ling Feng was holding and couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea, "Heavenly Venerable, is this the corpse poison?"
"Yes, this thing automatically absorbs the surrounding spiritual energy and the blood essence of others, controls the human body, turns people into walking corpses, and becomes increasingly dangerous!"
Ling Feng said indifferently.
Suddenly, Yang Fei's communicator began to flash rapidly.
Yang Fei dared not delay and quickly checked it.
Ling Feng's brows furrowed tightly. Just a moment ago, Ling Feng had a very ominous premonition.
It seemed that something big was about to happen!
As expected, Yang Fei's expression changed drastically. He quickly returned and said to Ling Feng in a deep voice, "Heavenly Venerable, we just received news that similar incidents have occurred in major safe zones worldwide. Some have been brought under control, but some safe zones have completely lost control due to delayed intervention. The people around can only seal off the safe zones to prevent the zombies inside from getting out!"
"This is premeditated!" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow.
Yang Fei nodded heavily, "Yes, this is definitely premeditated. It seems that what Heavenly Venerable said before was completely correct. Finally, some scoundrels are causing trouble!"
"Saving people is the priority."
Ling Feng ordered calmly.
"Yes!"
Yang Fei immediately contacted Zhou Jin and sent him the prescription Ling Feng had provided.
In just fifteen minutes, planes appeared in the sky above the fallen safe zones, spraying the antidote.
In many safe zones where the situation had been brought under control, people were even delivering the antidote.
Two hours later, this zombie crisis, which experts predicted could endanger the lives of all humans worldwide, was resolved just like that!
And good news also came from Ling Feng's side!
"Heavenly Venerable, all the Dark Dragon Guards worldwide have been mobilized, and thirty-two people have been apprehended. Just as you predicted, these people were premeditated, and most of them were likely corpse demons refined by someone. When they were captured, the corpse poison on their bodies began to act up. It was Zhou Jin's potion from our side that worked, extending the lives of most of them. In order to survive, they told the truth. Behind them is someone called the Corpse King, and their statements are very unified: they come from the East, three thousand years ago!"
Yang Fei bowed respectfully to Ling Feng and explained all the circumstances.
Ling Feng's expression remained calm, but he slightly raised his eyebrows upon hearing the last sentence.
"The East, three thousand years ago? Meaning, this guy who is skilled at refining corpse demons is a monster who has lived for three thousand years? Is there any trace of this old monster?"
Yang Fei shook his head with some helplessness, "We haven't found the Corpse King's lair yet. The people we captured should be the weaker ones, just a part of those released. They all said that before, they were sealed in dark and damp caves, like... tombs!"
"Bring one person over."
Ling Feng ordered calmly, then continued to study the corpse poison in front of him.
Yang Fei immediately responded and left.
The flames in Ling Feng's hand turned purple, and a piece of flesh floating in his palm gradually changed. In less than three seconds, it swelled up and even grew a mouth, seemingly letting out a shrill scream.
"When the corpse poison reaches a certain level of power, it develops life consciousness? No wonder it can refine living people into such powerful corpse demons. Heh, this Corpse King is quite interesting!"
Perhaps having been too leisurely for too long, the sudden appearance of this Corpse King truly piqued Ling Feng's interest.
Ling Feng burned the corpse poison in his hand to ashes.
Outside, Yang Fei had already returned with people.
This person wore a baseball cap, was hunched over, and the white mask on his face was stained with blood. He stumbled in, and upon seeing Ling Feng, his entire body trembled uncontrollably!
"No, don't kill me, I don't want to kill people, and I can't help it. It's the Corpse King who made us do this. He, he's summoning me again, ah, my head hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
The person quickly cried out in pain, knelt on the ground, clutching his head and struggling in agony!
Yang Fei quickly drew the Tang dao in his hand, clearly ready to eliminate this guy at any moment.
Ling Feng, however, raised his hand to stop Yang Fei's action. Then, with one hand, he tapped the man's forehead. A stream of golden flame filled the man's entire body.
The baseball cap instantly disappeared, revealing the few remaining hairs underneath. But in the next moment, a miraculous scene occurred.
The man's entire dark gray skin began to regain its color, and even his hair grew back, as if he had been revitalized.
The man looked at the changes in his body with surprise.
"My, my corpse poison is gone? This warm feeling, it's living blood, the temperature of a living body, I'm not dead!"
Overcome with emotion, the man knew who had saved him. He quickly knelt before Ling Feng and kowtowed repeatedly!
