Chapter 505: Level B5

What else could be floating in a swimming pool, if not corpses inside corpse bags?

Lan Fa looked in the direction pointed out by Zhang Tian'an's finger.

Damn, why are there so many zombies with yellow talismans stuck on them in this pool?

And judging by the attire of these zombies, they have been dead for a long time.

They are soaked in Formalin Pool, the yellow talismans on their heads are soaked through, revealing pale, lifeless eyes and ferocious fangs.

Every zombie has sharp Lijua on its body, and there seem to be quite a few modified zombies among them.

Many zombies even have animal bodies on them.

For example, cheetah legs, python bodies, giant squid tentacles, and so on.

Good, I have finally found a portion of the evidence of the Mao Family's crimes.

A stack of yellow talismans is piled casually on a table beside the pool.

Soon, those "people" who crawled out of the corpse bags stiffly grabbed the yellow talismans and stuck them directly onto their foreheads.

Hanging above the pool are giant iron hooks, looking just like those used for selling pork.

I saw those "people" hang their own bodies onto the iron hooks, and they were pulled away from here by the hooks.

They will likely be dropped somewhere in the Formalin Pool, break free from the restraints of the iron hooks, and quietly soak in the Formalin Pool until the moment they transform into zombies.

This transformation process might take a very long time; perhaps ten years, perhaps fifty years, perhaps a hundred years.

But zombies do not care about time; all they care about is whether they can transform successfully.

The Soul of these zombies are all bound within their bodies by Corpse-Bound Nail, and they still retain a certain level of consciousness.

They can feel their bodies gradually decaying, and they can feel the suffocating pain of being soaked in formalin.

That Soul filled with resentment is the key to a zombie's transformation.

Just then, a zombie with a triangular iron head dragging a giant axe appeared.

Its entire body has been modified; its left hand was sawed off and replaced with a giant axe.

The axe is covered in rust, and as it drags along the ground, it leaves behind streaks of scratches.

Its right hand has been modified into a Gatling machine gun.

The massive gun body, along with the ammunition, is wrapped around its body.

At the same time, there is a giant triangular iron helmet on its head.

A large number of yellow talismans are pasted onto the helmet, and several rusty locks are hanging from it as well.

Its lower body is that of a high-legged horse; this type of high-legged horse weighs a ton.

Every step it takes, the ground trembles.

The terrazzo floor is left with streaks of scratches.

"This is the Executioner."

A ghostly voice emerged from behind Lan Fa and Zhang Tian'an.

The two of them were startled and hurriedly looked behind them.

They saw a pillar behind them bulging outward.

From inside the pillar came the sound of Lijua scratching, just like claws rubbing against a blackboard.

"I mean no harm."

A hoarse voice came out from behind the pillar.

"I am just a poor soul who was used as a Life Stake."

"You can call me Qin Tiezhu."

"However, I must warn you: if you don't want to be discovered by the zombie Executioner, I advise you not to move and to hold your breath."

"This guy is very strong; it is the patroller here."

"It is a surveillance method left behind by the Mao Family."

"But this guy also has a very clear flaw, which is that its eyesight is not great; it is just like a frog."

"It can only see moving objects."

"However, this guy's sense of smell is quite sharp."

"If it senses the breath you exhale from your mouths, it will follow the scent to find you."

Just then, the triangular-headed Executioner had already dragged its axe to the edge of the pool.

There are still a few unopened corpse bags here, still moving slowly.

The triangular-headed Executioner picked up its giant axe and smashed it fiercely toward a corpse bag.

Bang.

The corpse bag was instantly smashed into meat paste.

It grabbed the corpse bag directly; the grey-blue flesh was wriggling like worms.

Not long after, the flesh inside the corpse bag disappeared.

"Why is the quality of the corpses sent recently getting worse and worse?"

"It has been a long time since I have eaten a fresh corpse."

"The best ones are corpses whose blood hasn't coagulated yet."

"Who told me to be hungry."

A muffled voice came from the helmet of the triangular-headed Executioner.

"Those two old useless things, Dong Dafu and Yang Guofeng, always make me do the work and patrol, while they surely hide in their coffins to sleep."

"Do they really think we don't know? We are just too lazy to expose you."

"You two are already lazy types; if two more leaders were changed to manage us, there would surely be new rules again."

"But you all ate alone and didn't leave any for your brothers; that's really not very decent."

The Iron Triangle Executioner grumbled as he processed the corpses in the Corpse Bag.

Only after he had completely devoured all the corpses did he lift his axe and continue patrolling in the direction where Lan Fa was located.

"The Iron Triangle Executioner is coming over."

"Hold your breath and plug your ears, otherwise you will suffer greatly."

A hoarse voice came from behind.

Although Lan Fa and Zhang Tian'an did not know what Qin Tiezhu meant, they still obediently followed what Qin Tiezhu said while on someone else's turf.

In particular, Zhang Tian'an also used the Transmission Gu to inform Qin Tiezhu that there was no malice on their part.

Sensing that the two had covered their ears, the five characters "you are teachable" appeared on the pillar.

Bursts of powerful baleful aura emerged from the pillar and shot straight into the sky.

The huge iron chains wrapped around the top of the pillar suddenly began to jingle.

Each iron chain was wrapped with ten Soul-Suppressing Bells, and most of these Soul-Suppressing Bells were extremely dilapidated.

As a result, the other pillars also experienced similar resonance.

After the Iron Triangle Executioner felt the humming sound emitted by the chains, he directly raised his huge axe.

He smashed it heavily against one of the pillars, and only a loud "Boom" was heard.

A blast of sound spread throughout the entire fifth underground floor.

"How long have you all been dead, yet you still cause trouble every day? Wouldn't it be better to just obediently transform into fierce corpses?"

"With so much baleful aura here, it should have long since eroded your consciousness."

"Is the Mao Family not good?"

The Iron Triangle Executioner cursed as he spoke.

He struck the pillar dozens of times in succession until all the iron pillars restrained their baleful aura, and the chains finally returned to normal.

"A bunch of unlucky things; if you have any grievances, just keep them to yourselves."

"You have all been used as Life Stakes and have all become earth-bound spirits, so why do you still resist?"

"Wouldn't you be able to get out if you just accepted the Mao Family's enslavement?"

The Iron Triangle Executioner gradually walked away.

Only the sound of the axe dragging across the ground remained.

"This Iron Triangle Executioner is not easy to deal with; his explosive power is very strong."

"At the beginning of the construction of these two Twin Towers, we were deceived by the Mao Family and used as Life Stakes."

"The brothers of the entire construction team are all buried in the pillars."

"We even saw with our own eyes that the Mao Family abducted many people and turned them into zombies while they were still alive."

"Those animals, we wish we could get rid of them quickly."

"My old brothers are about to be eroded into fierce corpses and baleful corpses, while I have barely managed to maintain my consciousness because of an ancestral treasure."

"Little brother, judging from your attire, you shouldn't be from the Mao Family."

"I have a request."

"I want you to help me destroy the Mao Family and bring justice to the 1,672 people of my construction team as well as the innocent passersby who were turned into zombies."

Lan Fa remained vigilant at this moment, because he knew that no one would be good to you for no reason.

Especially in such a Weird place.

Zhang Tian'an hurriedly asked at this time: "We came here to deal with the Mao Family."

"What evidence do you have to prove that it was the Mao Family who harmed you?"

At the same time, she said to Lan Fa in her heart: "Pacify him first and see what evidence he has on hand."

"We don't necessarily have to go to the top floor; as long as we can point out the Mao Family's crimes, we can leave."

"This formaldehyde pool is indeed terrifying enough."

At this moment, Qin Tiezhu said faintly: "Evidence? Aren't we the evidence?"

"The 1,672 of us were used as Life Stakes; isn't the evidence obvious enough?"

"Almost every pillar contains my brothers."

"The baleful aura triggered by our hatred and anger is drawn away by this Soul-Gathering Array and becomes the raw material for making zombies."

"We have an irreconcilable hatred with the Mao Family."

"If you can solve the Mao Family, our 1,672 brothers will all be at your disposal."

"We will also tell you the secret of this Yin-Gathering Array."

"As long as you restore a bright and clear world to the heavens and earth."

It was just that Zhang Tian'an and Lan Fa before him did not answer.

They seemed to have been stunned by something.

The huge Iron Triangle Executioner suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Old Qin, it really has to be you; every time someone comes in, you are the one who tips me off."

"These two small fries don't look very strong."

"I can smash them into smithereens with one axe."

Old Qin's voice came from the pillar: "Old Tie, it wasn't easy for me to trick people into coming in."

"You must give me some fresh blood this time; I haven't tasted flesh and blood for a long time."

"You know that after I became an earth-bound spirit, my body couldn't leave the pillar at all."

The Iron Triangle Executioner laughed loudly: "Easy, easy; come to think of it, building this Shuangzi Ta was your contribution."

"It was you who designed such a sinister array back then, and you even tricked your brothers into becoming Life Stakes."

"They all thought you were a good person, but it turns out you are the worst of them all."

"The Mao Family didn't think much of you either, which is why they let you join your brothers in becoming Life Stakes."

"Now you've even turned your brothers into fierce corpses and evil corpses; you really are something."

"Old Qin, how does it feel to have done every evil thing imaginable?"

"I feel like you are a devil tempting people to go to Hell."

"These two guys are already scared silly."

"Time for the execution."

The Triangle Executioner raised its axe and brought it down with a heavy chop.

With a bang, the two fell into a pool of blood and vanished instantly.

These were actually Clones that Lan Fa had separated.

Back when they were listening to Old Qin tell his story, Lan Fa had secretly summoned the Sin Mirror Woman and quietly copied two Clones.

He also used a Sound Transmission Gu and applied two Invisibility Talismans.

They quietly left this place.

"What a pity, we were just a step away from getting clues from that old silver coin."

"It's a shame the Triangle Executioner arrived too quickly; we didn't have time to react at all."

The two then discovered a staircase, which looked like a segment of wriggling intestine.

A rusty, blood-stained sign appeared at the entrance of the stairs.

On it was written the characters -B5.

The elevator side had long been closed, and it was pitch black inside.

Although Lan Fa had copied a Light Talisman, he didn't want to alert the enemy and draw the attention of the Triangle Executioner.

"Found you."

The gloomy voice came again.

Old Qin seemed to possess the ability to leap within the pillars.

"You two little bastards, you tricked me so badly."

"But it doesn't matter; as long as the result is good, that's all that counts."

"Old Tie, go."

Lan Fa and Zhang Tian'an's bodies suddenly became unable to move.

Their shadows suddenly stretched and elongated.

"How about it? This is my signature skill, Shadow Stepping; not bad, right?"

"Although I can only hard-control you for three seconds, it's enough for Old Tie."

"Many rats from Yan Country were slaughtered by me exactly like this back then."

"Some of the corpses were devoured by us, while the others were turned into zombies."

"Bye-bye, you two."

A sound of air being torn apart rang out, and the sharp axe chopped down heavily.

Just as it was about to split Lan Fa and Zhang Tian'an in two, black flames suddenly erupted from their shadows.

The flames quickly extended along the axe and instantly spread onto the Triangle Executioner's body.

The Triangle Executioner was covered in black flames.

"Ahhh!"

Just as the Triangle Executioner was about to raise its Gatling machine gun, it discovered the gun body had melted into molten iron.

"Old Qin, save me, Old Qin, save me."

The Triangle Executioner looked toward the direction of the pillars.

But there was not a hint of movement inside, and no intention to intervene at all.

"That was close; if Ye Bai hadn't let the Hell Nether Wolf lurk in our shadows, we might have been finished just now."

Zhang Tian'an breathed a sigh of relief.

The Triangle Executioner was burned to charcoal, and the lights in the entire Formalin Pool suddenly went out.

Countless Shadows gathered together, forming a gaunt old man.

"Why bother?"

The old man let out a long sigh.

"The Triangle Executioner is the watchdog here; if it dies, Dong Dafu and Yang Guofeng will soon notice the disturbance."

"I told them not to install light bulbs underground, but this Triangle Executioner just wouldn't listen."

"It even went out of its way to find an electrician turned into a zombie to connect a mess of wires, making the space above the entire pool look terrible."

Black flames coiled around Old Qin and began to spread.

But Old Qin seemed to be immune to the Hellfire.

Instead, he gathered the Hellfire into his palm.

"Hellfire, good stuff, it's just right for lighting my cigarette."

Old Qin laughed coldly.

"However, I'll give you a chance now."

"Honestly confess your origins, and I will leave your corpses intact."

"Your Soul will be sent to reincarnation; I rarely show such mercy."

Lan Fa grinned and laughed: "Who gave you such confidence, Sunflower Immortal!!! Do it!!!"
