Chapter 172: Not an Ordinary Corpse Transformation

"This is not within our business scope, right?" Qi Tongtian said with a bitter face.

"There's nothing we can do. Let's just do it this way. You're still alive, right?" Ai Wanxin spread her hands, took the Sentinel Spirit Pearl from Pei Junlin's hand, and shook it in front of Ah Huo's eyes.

"Don't waste it. You won't be able to use it anyway." She smiled and put the spirit bead into her pocket.

Jiang Baota's whole face was squeezed together. He leaned over and pushed Ah Huo's shoulder. Seeing that he didn't react at all, he felt really conflicted. Could this really be considered living?

Ai Wanxin looked at his bitter face and asked kindly, "Do you have any questions?"

Jiang Baota thought for a while before saying, "My legs are broken, you can connect them, Xiao Qi's entire arm was bitten off, you can help him grow another one, and we use them just like the original ones, why is Ah Huo like a living dead......"

Of course that’s because the person is already dead. Do you really think he can be resurrected?

But Ai Wanxin would not admit it. She pouted and said aggrievedly, "Because two of his three souls and seven spirits escaped, and I told you to call his soul back, but you didn't. Now it has run far away, and I can't call it back even if I want to. Why are you blaming me?"

Jiang Baota was stunned. Are you serious? I thought you were kidding us!

"But...but even so, the Security Bureau will still be held accountable..." he stuttered.

Ai Wanxin snapped her left fingers, and saw Ah Huo woodenly get up from the ground and stagger out of the woods. Looking at his back, he looked a bit like a zombie that had not yet stiffened.

"Where is he going?" Qi Tongtian asked.

"I just went around in front of the witnesses and then deserted. The Security Bureau won't pursue the matter anymore, right?" Ai Wanxin shrugged.

Jiang Baota and Qi Tongtian didn't say anything. Maybe this could really cover it up, but why should they get involved?

Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "It's a bit late to get off the boat now."

The two of them lowered their heads in resignation. There was nothing they could do. After all, they owed her a life.

But if you trace it back to the root cause, they got hurt and Ah Huo became like that, all because of Tuoba Qing. This vengeance must be avenged sooner or later!

Just as they were about to go out, they heard a series of anxious shouts: "Platoon Leader - Platoon Leader, something's wrong!"

A young soldier rushed into the woods in a hurry. He ran in front of everyone and said anxiously, "Platoon leader, Ah Huo, he has turned into a corpse!"

Everyone was shocked. Ai Wanxin quickly turned to look at Pei Junlin. Pei Junlin understood. He grabbed Ai Wanxin's hand and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The others also hurriedly ran out of the woods.

The two of them appeared precisely in the center of the convoy. Ai Wanxin looked up and saw that not far away, the Bone Lord was holding up five huge skeleton fingers and grabbing the violently struggling Ah Huo.

Ah Huo's eyes were covered with a layer of white film, sharp fangs grew in his mouth, his face was pale, and his flesh was withered and rotten, falling off as he struggled.

Yang Yuqiu trotted over to Ai Wanxin and asked tremblingly, "What happened to him?"

"It's turned into a corpse." Ai Wanxin frowned.

"How could it be...?" she murmured softly.

After all, she heard Qi Tongtian coming over and saying that Ah Huo was taken away. Could it be that they... ?

Ai Wanxin couldn't understand why he turned into a zombie, but the most urgent thing was to make things go smoothly.

As soon as she thought about it, the Bone Lord clenched his five fingers, and the bones that Ah Huo had just repaired shattered again. His head was crushed like a watermelon, and fell to the ground in pieces.

At this time, Yin Yanhan and others who were half a step behind also returned to the convoy.

A young soldier stepped forward and asked, "Platoon Leader, how come Ah Huo turned into a corpse after he was taken away by them?"

Jiang Baota subconsciously turned his gaze to Ai Wanxin.

Ai Wanxin sighed and said, "Oh, as expected."

"What do you mean?" someone asked.

"Actually, this is not a zombie, at least not an ordinary zombie." As soon as Ai Wan said this, everyone became even more confused.

One person asked: "What kind of corpse transformation is this?"

Ai Wan's mind was working at high speed, but her face was calm and composed. She said calmly, "He was infected by an aquatic fungus and turned into a corpse."

"what?"

All the soldiers looked at each other, obviously confused.

Ai Wanxin continued, "There is a characteristic of corpse transformation caused by this kind of aquatic fungus infection, which is that before the corpse transforms, it cannot control its words and deeds. It may still look like a normal person, but its behavior is particularly illogical and its speech is chaotic. In fact, it is the fungus that is eating away at the host's brain."

"Once the fungus has absorbed all the energy from the crystal core in the brain, the host will naturally transform into a corpse."

"Ahuo does seem to be talking nonsense."

"Isn't that how he always talks?" the soldiers began to whisper.

Ai Wanxin emphasized his tone and said calmly: "Because the crystal core has been absorbed, there will be no crystal core in this mutated corpse. If you don't believe me, you can turn his brain over to see if there is a crystal core inside."

The Bone Lord shook off the remaining tissue on his hand and dropped it to the ground. Two brave sentinels quickly stepped forward and searched for it, shouting, "There is indeed no crystal core!"

Yang Yuqiu asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Ai Wanxin raised her chin slightly and said, "The prophecy ball told me."

When she was using the prophecy ball to commit fraud in Eucalyptus Prison, Qi Tongtian was not very conscious and the others were not present.

Later, they only saw Ai Wanxin use a strange ball to repair Jiang Baota's broken leg, and they didn't know that this thing also had the function of predicting.

Yang Yuqiu asked carefully: "What ball?"

Ai Wanxin turned her right palm upward, and the star ball appeared out of thin air in her palm.

"Touch it." She said to Yang Yuqiu.

Yang Yuqiu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to touch it, and sure enough, he passed through the star ball.

Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "I am the only one in this world who can hold it, and it will tell me what it wants me to know, such as..."

Ai Wanxin closed her eyes and murmured, "A giant wolf will pass by not far away."

She opened her eyes and looked towards the woods not far away. The mutant wolf king slowly walked out from them. His bright eyes swept around the alert crowd, and he flicked his big tail and left in the opposite direction.

"How amazing!" someone exclaimed.

"So it tells you that Ah Huo is infected?"

"Where did he get the infection? Aquatic fungus, could he have gotten it at sea?"

"So are we okay?"

"Look who's behaving strangely!" They all started to check each other out.

"This is amazing. Can we lend it to the Academy of Sciences for research?" Yang Yuqiu asked, looking at her.

"Of course you can, but you can't take it. Maybe I have to go with you." Ai Wanxin said obediently.
