Chapter 89: A Dead Person Blocking the Way

  The hand was ashen and bloodless, the skin a deathly blue-gray that only a corpse could have.

  "Where did this hand come from?"

  Liu Fugui was startled, pointing at the window with a trembling finger.

  Lu Fei gripped the willow whip tightly.

  Hu Zi grabbed the ghost-headed saber from the passenger seat.

  Snap!

  Immediately, another blue-gray hand hit the car window.

  The two hands slowly climbed up, and then an extremely pale dead face pressed against the glass, its grayish-white eyes fixed intently on the people inside.

  "Oh my god, it's a ghost!"

  Liu Fugui screamed in terror.

  "That's not a ghost, it's a dead body!" Lu Fei said calmly, "The owner of the head is chasing us!"

  Manipulating the dead is usually the method of corpse nurturers.

  It must be the owner of the head coming for revenge!

  Tiger was drenched in cold sweat.

  If he had gotten out of the car to take a look just now, he would have been caught right by the dead body.

  Before they could react, another bluish-gray dead body appeared at the window on the other side.

  Bang bang bang!

  The dead body started pounding on the window fiercely. Its palm, seemingly frozen and very hard, made the glass shudder slightly.

  Fortunately, Liu Fugui's business vehicle was of high quality and didn't break from the first hit, but it wouldn't last much longer.

  "Huzi, don't mind them, hurry up and go! They won't dare to go to places with many people!" Lu Fei shouted loudly.

  Through the window, he saw many bluish-gray figures on both sides of the road, stiffly walking towards the car.

  So many dead people!

  If each one of them is as tough as iron, they wouldn't be able to deal with them at all.

  If you listen carefully, you can still hear a faint wailing sound.

  It sounds like it's coming from some kind of instrument, very strange.

  This is the way necromancers control the corpses!

  Liu Fugui was scared pale. He thought everything would be fine after dealing with the head, but he didn't expect there to be something even more powerful behind it.

  "Hold on tight!"

  Huzi immediately shifted gears and pressed the accelerator.

  The car roared as it charged forward.

  It seemed to have run over something, causing it to jolt violently a few times.

  Huzi paid no mind and firmly gripped the steering wheel, flooring the accelerator.

  Since there were no other cars on the road, he simply had no reservations.

  Several bluish-white figures blocked the road ahead.

  Under the glare of the headlights, their faces appeared particularly sinister.

  "Ram through them!" Lu Fei, holding onto the handrail, shouted loudly, fixated on the front.

  They are not living beings, so why should we hold back?

  "Okay!"

  Huzi gritted his teeth and drove the car straight into them.

  Bang bang, boom boom!

  The car violently shook, and the dead were knocked flying like bowling pins. The vehicle swayed from side to side but was promptly steered back to the center of the road by Hu Zi, who continued to drive at high speed.

  "My car!" Liu Fugui clung to the handrail, his face contorted with pain.

  "At a time like this, you still care about your car!" Lu Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, glancing back at the rear of the car.

  The ashen dead slowly got up from the ground, staggering as they chased after the car.

  These mobile dead have already reached the level of walking corpses!

  But no matter how fast they moved, they couldn't outpace the car. Soon, those ashen figures were left far behind.

  Once they were completely out of sight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  Although these walking corpses were eerie, they were in a car, so it wasn't too difficult to lose them.

  "We've probably made enemies now." Lu Fei looked at Liu Fugui, "You haven't told Xiao Mei about your identity and address, right?"

  Liu Fugui turned pale and wailed, "I, I told her that I was the boss of Antiques Street..."

  "Then you're in trouble! The owner of that head will definitely come looking for revenge!" Lu Fei said, exasperated. "Those sorcerers hold the most grudges; they won't let this go so easily."

  "Oh? What should I do?" Liu Fugui felt like he wanted to die. He thought he had narrowly escaped death, only to find himself in an even bigger mess.

  "Brother Lu, we've been through life and death together; you can't just leave me hanging,"

  Did he really need to say it?

  Lu Fei was the one who killed the person, so if they seek revenge, they won't just go after him.

  "Don't panic. Once we get to Antiques Street, it's our territory. On our own turf, we're not at their mercy," Lu Fei said calmly.

  "I'll still stay with you guys when we get back." Liu Fugui felt a lot more reassured. Before the trouble was completely resolved, he would cling to this powerful ally.

  Bang!

  At that moment, the windshield in front of the car was suddenly hit.

  A bluish-gray face, hanging upside down, poked out from above the car roof.

  There was actually another walker!

  Caught off guard, Hu Zi was startled and lost his grip on the steering wheel. The speeding car immediately swerved and headed towards the roadside guardrail.

  The enormous inertia caused Lu Fei and Liu Fugui to stagger about wildly.

  Squeak—Screech—

  Hu Zi struggled to steady himself, stomped on the brake, and kept turning the steering wheel, adjusting the direction of the vehicle.

  Bang bang bang!

  That walker was still fiercely headbutting the glass, and in no time, the glass was covered with cracks.

  "Hu Zi!"

  If the glass shattered, Hu Zi would be in danger.

  Lu Fei unfastened his seatbelt, grabbing the chair and flipping it to the front. With one hand gripping the armrest and the other holding the willow whip, he stared intently at the walker outside the car window.

  Crack!

  The window shattered, and shards of glass mixed with wind rushed in.

  The walker tumbled from the roof of the car, crouched at the window, and reached fiercely for Hu Zi with both hands.

  Hu Zi was struggling to steady the swerving vehicle and had no way to fend off the attack.

  "Get back!"

  Lu Fei channeled his magical power into the willow whip and whipped it against the dead man's hand.

  A charred mark instantly appeared on the walker's hand, but it felt no pain; its movements only paused slightly.

  "Damn, these dead things don't feel pain!"

  Knowing that more whipping would be futile, Lu Fei immediately picked up the ghost-headed saber from under the seat and thrust it viciously at the walker.

  Thump!

  The knife tip hit the corpse, making a crisp sound.

  The body of this walking corpse was indeed hard, though the knife tip didn't pierce its flesh, it could still function like a stick.

  The body of the walking corpse tilted slightly backward with the poke.

  "It works!"

  Lu Fei leaned forward and even lay on the car's dashboard, using the ghosthead knife to desperately push the walking corpse off the car with each thrust.

  Combined with the car's jolts, the walking corpse finally fell off the engine.

  Bang!

  The wheel crashed into the walking corpse, producing a loud noise.

  The car shook violently, and its speed slowed down just right.

  "Hurry up!"

  Lu Fei didn't know if there were more pursuers behind them, so he told Hu Zi to start the car and not to stop.

  Hu Zi quickly restarted the car, swerved around the walking corpses, and sped forward.

  There were strange noises coming from all over the vehicle.

  The wind rushed in through the broken windows, making it almost impossible for everyone to keep their eyes open.

  They raced along at high speed.

  Finally, just before the car broke down completely, they saw the bright lights of the city, and other cars on the road.

  "We're safe now."

  Lu Fei and Hu Zi both breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

  Although they had escaped the danger, Liu Fugui's face was ashen, his eyes filled with tears that wouldn't fall.

  "My car..."

  "Come on, Old Liu, you should be grateful to have made it back alive!"

  Lu Fei glanced back at him: "That ghost raiser relentlessly pursued us, and it might not just be for revenge. Did you take something?"
