Chapter 31: Clash with the Starving Ghost!

Zhang Han instinctively caught the box, and upon hearing Wang Xiaoming's words, he immediately turned and ran wildly.

Wang Xiaoming suddenly felt a weight on his back; the starving ghost in his arms had vanished, and he didn't know when a cabinet had pressed him down. He struggled a bit, but found he couldn't free himself at all.

Outside the laboratory at this moment, Ye Feng was pressed under by two ghost infants; if not for the protection of his ghost shroud, he would have already been devoured clean by the ghost infants.

"Ye Feng, use Ghost Fang! Found it!"

After coming out, Zhang Han hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Watch your back!"

Ye Feng first felt joy upon hearing Zhang Han's words, but when he noticed what was behind Zhang Han, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted urgently.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Zhang Han's expression changed; the ghost's arms behind him lunged backward violently, and he threw the box in his hand toward Ye Feng.

"Ahhh!"

Zhang Han fell to the ground with a ferocious expression; if someone could see his back, they would be horrified to find that the two pallid arms had only one left.

Clearly it was his own ghost that the starving ghost had eaten part of alive, but Zhang Han felt as if his own arm had been torn open, causing unbearable pain.

Seeing Zhang Han almost instantly lose his ability to move, Ye Feng's pupils contracted; he desperately stimulated the Ghost Fang on his chest, for if they delayed any longer, probably no one would make it out alive today.

The Ghost Fang on his chest opened and closed, and Ye Feng instantly felt the pressure on him lessen considerably; he seized the chance to break free and grabbed the box beside him.

Ye Feng had no intention of rescuing Zhang Han; the Ghost Fang on his chest closed again, this time biting the surrounding Ghost Realm.

Ahead of Ye Feng, the gloom spread wildly to both sides; following the passage, one could see the hospital's main gate at a glance.

Ye Feng was overjoyed and hurriedly ran toward the passage; although he could bite open the Ghost Realm to connect with the outside, the points of connection were random, yet he never expected his luck to be so good that it linked directly to the lobby on the first floor of the hospital.

But the next moment, Ye Feng's expression changed; the starving ghost had somehow appeared in front of him.

……………………

"We have a signal!"

Wang Xiaoqiang, who had been paying attention all along, shouted loudly.

"Let's charge in! Don't get out of the car, drive straight through the gate!"

Chen Shoushan grasped the coffin nail at hand and ordered Wang Xiaoqiang, who was about to open the car door.

He had given Wang Xiaoming a coin, performed bribery—connection on him, so he could sense Wang Xiaoming's current location.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't ask why, and immediately steered the car to crash into the hospital gate.

A rumbling sound.

Outside the hospital gate, a black armored vehicle rushed in, with a rectangular box tied on top of it.

The two people in the car, at first glance, saw the conspicuous passage in the darkness; at its end was a back view of someone in a police uniform, while on the ground lay the unconscious Zhang Han and Ye Feng wearing a ghost shroud.

"Charge past!"

Chen Shoushan commanded without hesitation.

Wang Xiaoqiang also gritted his teeth, shifted gears, and accelerated straight toward the back view of the starving ghost, charging past.

Ye Feng also saw Chen Shoushan and the others, feeling great joy in his heart; he didn't care that the Ghost Fang inside his body was on the verge of recovery, and once again forcibly used Ghost Fang, planning to launch a two-pronged attack with Chen Shoushan's group.

Meanwhile, the starving ghost standing in the middle seemed unaware, and the Ghost Fang on Ye Feng seemed to have an especially strong attraction to the starving ghost.

Therefore, after Ye Feng used Ghost Fang, the starving ghost actually gave up the easily attainable Zhang Han and turned its attention to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng's Ghost Fang on his chest opened and closed again, and the starving ghost's leg joints were suddenly torn apart, restraining the starving ghost in place.

Meanwhile, the armored vehicle behind also caught up and slammed hard into the starving ghost.

But something shocking happened: the hard armored vehicle's front end dented severely, and even the front windshield showed cracks.

Chen Shoushan had been prepared for this; immediately after the impact subsided, he drew his revolver from his waist and fired three shots in succession at the starving ghost in front of the windshield.

Now the windshield on the car was completely shattered, and at the same time Chen Shoushan used his extraordinary ability bribery—connection!

This wasn't over yet; Chen Shoushan smashed the glass in front of him with a left-handed punch, while tightly raising the coffin nail in his right hand and lunged at the starving ghost.

As long as they drove the coffin nail into the starving ghost, Chen Shoushan and his group could declare victory.

Just as the coffin nail was about to smoothly enter the starving ghost's body, Chen Shoushan's expression changed and he hastily stopped his movement, because he felt the starving ghost had vanished in an instant.

Indeed, at some point the starving ghost standing in place had turned into the unconscious Zhang Han; if not for Chen Shoushan's strong control, that arm-thick coffin nail would have been driven into Zhang Han's head.

"Ye Feng, move aside!"

Chen Shoushan threw the Zhang Han in front of him backward into the car behind him, while firing at Ye Feng's rear.

The distance between Ye Feng and Chen Shoushan was only about ten meters; with Chen Shoushan's marksmanship, he naturally wouldn't hit Ye Feng.

Upon hearing Chen Shoushan's words, Ye Feng also reacted extremely quickly, lunging to the side; the bullet precisely struck the gloom behind Ye Feng, producing the sound of hitting a corpse.

Afterwards, the entire Ghost Realm fell silent; Ye Feng hurriedly got up from the ground and ran toward Chen Shoushan.

"Go! Hurry!"

Ye Feng shouted while running.

"Where's my brother? Where is my brother?"

Wang Xiaoqiang looked around, didn't see Wang Xiaoming, and urgently asked.

"I don't know; he went into the laboratory and never came out, we can't worry about him—let's hurry!"

Ye Feng said anxiously.

"What the hell are you saying, you…… damn it, forget it, you guys go on your own!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng want to abandon Wang Xiaoming, Wang Xiaoqiang was about to flare up, but in the end he merely gave Ye Feng a cold look and then ran alone toward the laboratory.

Ye Feng instinctively tried to grab Wang Xiaoqiang; he could control the second ghost only because of Wang Xiaoqiang's connection, but he failed to catch him.

"If we don't take it down, we can't get away."

Chen Shoushan looked toward the passage and said coldly.

Ye Feng instinctively followed Chen Shoushan's gaze.

At some point, the starving ghost had blocked the exit of the passage; its bluish-black face stared at everyone, and the legs that Ye Feng had bitten off had already returned to their original state!

Meanwhile, the gloom in the hospital surged wildly; the passage Ye Feng had bitten open was being refilled by the gloom, and not only that, countless infant cries echoed from within the gloom.

At that moment, every ghost infant hidden in the darkness across Dachangshi had been brought to the hospital by the hungry ghost; merely listening to the scalp‑tingling infant cries in the gloom was torture enough, not to mention the sight of the ghost infants crawling out of the darkness—a sight that would be the death of anyone with trypophobia.
