From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 902
Chapter 902 Demonic Heart
The golden sunlight shone on his body, and the pleasant sound of the waves kept coming from his ears. Chen Guangda, who was lying on the ground, really wanted to never get up like this again. However, the charred smell emitted by the Poison Lizard King told him that he still had a lot of things to do. Although he was not the Savior, he was definitely not as relaxed as the Savior.
“Sigh ~”
Chen Guangda lit a cigarette and slowly sat up. Colleen’s corpse was still lying not far away. Zuotian and Old Pete had also become ice-cold corpses. Too many people had died in this battle. Only Boy Shui was left from the airport. He really didn’t know if it was worth it for the sake of the two nuclear submarines.
“Master Guang …”
Suddenly, a weak shout came from the submarine. Seeing that Jiang Zhiyang was pushed out of the submarine with great difficulty, Boy Shui and Li Tingyu hurriedly climbed up and helped him down, followed by two slightly cramped Japanese ladies.
“How is it? Is it serious …”
Chen Guangda walked over and patted Jiang Zhiyang on the shoulder. His body was already wrapped up like a dumpling, and his left arm was obviously fractured. Who knew that Jiang Zhiyang would kneel on the ground with a “putong” sound and tears flowing down his face. “Sorry, Master Guang, I’ve let you down. I’ve let you down even more, brothers. Kill me!”
“Why would I kill you? Even I almost died here. You’ve already performed very well …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly helped him up, but Jiang Zhiyang still cried and said, “I was fooled by the Japanese because I was greedy for women. Otherwise, my brothers wouldn’t have died so badly. I let down your trust and the corpse collector’s face. Even if you don’t kill me, I won’t have the face to live anymore!”
“Alright! When no one has ever been foolish in their entire lives, if you really feel embarrassed, do it well in the future. If you continue to be foolish the next time, I won’t be too late to kill you again …”
Chen Guangda patted him heavily on the shoulder and pinched him hard. Then, he gave a brief account of what happened in Luoge Campsite. Jiang Zhiyang said dejectedly, “We were tricked by Ryoko Kitagawa. She pretended to help us, but in fact, she wanted to provoke us to fight against the U.S. Army, so that they could fish in the troubled waters!”
“Who are these two …”
Chen Guangda turned to look at the two Japanese women. Young girls weren’t very beautiful. They belonged to the cute and obedient type. The middle-aged woman looked like an old pedant, but Jiang Zhiyang said, “This girl is my girlfriend, Mingzi Yukita. Next to her is her teacher, Dr. Fujiwara. She is also one of the leading researchers here!”
“Oh? Most importantly …”
Chen Guangda was immediately surprised. The ugly old woman was actually a doctor, and Jiang Zhiyang said, “Actually, she has always concealed her identity. Because of the leak of the corpse poison, she could not escape from it, so she declared that she was only an assistant researcher. In fact, she was the one who personally created the first generation of corpse poison serum!”
“Holy shit! This is a treasure …”
Chen Guangda laughed in surprise. This serious Japanese scientist was much stronger than the half-baked experts in their town. However, Jiang Zhiyang bitterly smiled and said, “It was all thanks to Ryoko Kitagawa that I was able to get close to Mingzi. Who knew that her teacher was so powerful, so her brothers almost used their lives to save her!”
“You’re not here for the heart of the devil, are you?”
Chen Guangda frowned suspiciously. These people definitely couldn’t drive a nuclear submarine. Jiang Zhiyang immediately nodded and said, “Right! The heart of the devil is the essence of the devil stone. Doctor Fujiwara said that they had only achieved a breakthrough by studying the heart of the devil. However, just as they had made some achievements, a catastrophe occurred!”
Chen Guangda asked again, “I heard that the Heart of the Devil can still deal with mutated living corpses. Is that true?”
“Yes! However, the conditions are a bit harsh. We have to extract a substance from the heart of the devil first and find a way to penetrate the body of the living corpse. However, some of the living corpses can’t even pierce through the corpse’s claws and spears …”
Jiang Zhiyang helplessly spread out her hands. However, he did not say a word before sitting on the wooden chest, panting heavily. “Originally, we were going to go to the Northeast Resettlement Camp by speedboat after we got the Demonic Heart. Who would have known that we would have been trapped in the submarine for almost a month? If it weren’t for the food inside, we would have starved to death long ago!”
“Do you know why the corpse poison leaked out here …”
Chen Guangda handed him a cigarette. Jiang Zhiyang frowned and said, “I can only use words to barely communicate with them. They only said that the corpse poison was not a man-made accident. On the day of the disaster, none of them touched the Devil’s Stone or the Devil’s Heart. However, the Devil’s Stone released the corpse poison on its own, as if someone had controlled it from afar.”
“Forget it! Let’s talk about this later. Is there anyone else in the submarine …”
Chen Guangda helplessly waved his hand. Even if he couldn’t understand the language, it would be useless to ask. Perhaps it would cause unnecessary trouble if he got the wrong idea. Jiang Zhiyang nodded and said, “Yes! Xiao Wu and Big Yellow are still inside. They have internal injuries and can’t move. They have to be sent to the hospital!”
“Which one of you knows how to use the communicator on a submarine? We have a destroyer at sea …”
Chen Guangda looked at him with bright eyes. Who knew that Jiang Zhiyang would shake her head helplessly. These wild-born warriors didn’t even have a professional communications soldier. However, Chen Guangda was suddenly stunned. He saw a sneaky figure poking his head out from above the cliff.
“Old Jin! Get down here …”
Chen Guangda pointed at the top and roared angrily. Old Jin, who was squatting on it, immediately laughed embarrassedly. He hurriedly found the cable and climbed down. He even rubbed his hands and said in dry Chinese, “I … I didn’t run away. I came to support you!”
“Support your sister! You still have no face …”
Chen Guangda glared at him angrily and then dragged him over to the submarine to use the equipment to contact the destroyer. Old Kim, a communications major, turned around and left without saying a word. However, Chen Guangda said to Boy Shui, “You go in and look at that guy. Don’t let him contact the U.S. Army or the Korean Army. Once you contact the destroyer, notify me!”
“Alright!”
Boy Shui hurriedly followed Old Jin into the submarine. Chen Guangda turned around and walked to the Poisonous Lizard King’s corpse. The Poisonous Lizard King’s corpse was about to turn into a pile of rotten meat. It was also churning with bubbles as if it had been cooked by the sun. If they weren’t used to smelling the stench, they would have spat it out on the spot.
“Huh?”
Chen Guangda was suddenly stunned. He only saw Marten Zuoshan crawling out of the corpse with a small black stone in his hand. He actually opened his mouth to swallow the black stone. Chen Guangda immediately rushed over and snatched it away. He shouted loudly, “What are you doing? You want to die?”
“Kaka ~”
Marten Zuoshan suddenly shouted like thunder. He even directly raised his small claws at Chen Guangda with a ferocious look. Who knew that Doctor Fujiwara would suddenly run up and spit something at the black rock. Only then did Marten Zuoshan tilt his head in suspicion and quieten down.
“She said that this is a barrier that can block the scent of the Demonic Heart. Otherwise, the living corpses from nearby villages will rush over …”
Just as Doctor Fujiwara said something, Li Tingyu immediately translated it. Chen Guangda remembered that Doctor Fujiwara would definitely speak English, so he clenched his fist-sized Demonic Heart and looked carefully. He discovered that this thing was like black amber, with a fat gray corpse insect curled up inside.
“Gray Corpse Bug? Why is it a Gray Corpse Bug again …”
Chen Guangda raised his Demonic Heart in shock. However, Li Tingyu translated, “Doctor Fujiwara said that there were no corpse worms inside. However, as long as there were corpse worms placed on it, the Demonic Heart would automatically contain them. No matter what kind of corpse worms entered, they would slowly turn ashen. That’s how Colleen’s corpse worm came about!”
“Mm! Then this one should belong to the Poisonous Lizard King …”
Chen Guangda nodded his head gently. It was estimated that the Demonic Heart could increase the strength of the corpse worm, but Li Tingyu translated in surprise, “Brother Guang! She said that the longer the corpse worm stayed inside, the darker its color would become. In the end, it would very likely turn into a black corpse worm, just like the one in your body!”
“What?”
Chen Guangda’s expression changed fiercely, as if he had suddenly realized something. However, Li Tingyu continued, “Doctor Fujiwara said that it would take at least half a year to turn into a gray corpse worm. After half a year, the gray corpse worm would reach a bottleneck and become extremely weak with the increase in color. They estimated that it would take at least a thousand years for them to completely turn black!”
“I know what this is …”
Chen Guangda stared at the Demon’s Heart with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, “This thing should be the Black Corpse Insect’s nest. The reason it didn’t stay inside was because the Demon’s Stone was split into two. Half of it landed on Mount Tsui Luo, and the other half landed on the sea. However, it was very unlucky. It followed the half-useless Demon’s Stone to Mount Tsui Luo!”
“Doesn’t it really want to get this thing …”
Li Tingyu looked at him in astonishment, but Chen Guangda smiled sinisterly and said, “Although it is still standing there obediently, I can feel that it is almost crazy to want this thing. If I’m not mistaken, the Demon Stone’s unprovoked release of corpse poison is what it did!”
“Ah? How could it control the Abyss Devil’s Stone so far away …”
Li Tingyu covered her mouth in shock, but Chen Guangda said coldly, “It definitely has the means to control the Abyss Devil Stone. Otherwise, it would never have been discovered by humans one after another, nor would it have erupted with corpse poison on the same day. Therefore, the real culprit behind this apocalypse must be this fellow!”
“Then what’s the benefit of doing this to it …”
Li Tingyu frowned in confusion, and Chen Guangda sneered, “Just like what I always said, the muddy water is easy to fish, and it’s easy to return to the heart of the devil if we let it in. And once we let it in, we humans won’t be able to recover. Am I right, you thousand-year-old bastard?”
“Hmph ~”
Suddenly! Chen Guangda actually let out a cold snort for no reason. His entire body trembled and he slowly lifted the Devil’s Heart to his mouth. However, Li Tingyu rushed forward and sent the Devil’s Heart flying with a slap. Then, he asked in shock, “Did you give it control?”
“It’s not controlling. It’s risking its life with me. It wants this thing too much …”
Chen Guangda, who was sweating profusely, took two steps back in succession. He was almost hit by the black corpse insect’s insidious move. However, Li Tingyu suddenly cried out in alarm. The heart of the devil that was sent flying by the fan actually fell on Colleen’s corpse. It rolled into her small abdomen that was cut open and quickly melted into a pool of black liquid …
