Female Corpse

In the 1990s, Bincheng in China was filled with the hustle and bustle of daily life. There were bustling video stores and food stalls. New and old buildings stood side by side, and neon lights were just starting to shine, exuding vitality everywhere.

Modern urban thriller. In the late 1990s, Bincheng with its flashing neon lights was like a canvas painted with oil colors, prosperous but with hidden cracks. On the bustling streets, people were in a hurry. It seemed that everyone was chasing their own dreams, but also afraid of being swallowed by the shadows of this city. Deep in the alleys of the old city, the small hotel run by Old Man Chen was like a fragment forgotten by time, dilapidated and gloomy. There was no luxurious decoration or comfortable beds here, but it became a place for those drifters to rest briefly - a haven that was both warm and disturbing.

One evening with a heavy dusk, a dusty truck slowly drove into the small courtyard of the hotel. Four long-distance truck drivers got off the truck wearily. Their eyes were full of tiredness and they urgently needed a place where their bodies and souls could rest briefly. However, the hotel was already overcrowded. Boss Old Man Chen was full of apologies and was just about to refuse when Brother Wang, the leader, stepped forward and said with a bit of pleading, "Uncle, we've been on the road for a day and a night. We're really exhausted. Please think of a way. Even a corner will do."

Old Man Chen frowned and thought for a moment. He remembered that his daughter-in-law's body was temporarily placed in the storage room behind the hotel. There was no one there and it might be able to solve the urgent problem. He hesitated and put forward this suggestion. When the four drivers heard this, they quickly thanked him. At this moment, they just wanted a place to stay. They didn't care about anything else.

The four people stepped into the storage room. The dim light made their vision difficult to adapt for a while. On a shaky table, there was a lamp that flickered on and off. The light cast strange shadows on the wall. Next to it, on the simple mourning bed, the human shape under the white cloth was faintly visible. There was a depressing atmosphere in the air. Although the simple bunk bed in the inner room was crude, it seemed to be a warm haven in the eyes of tired travelers. They were so tired that they didn't even have time to take a closer look and just fell onto the bed. Soon, snores echoed one after another in this narrow space.

Among them, Li Hua was still in an excited state because he had drunk several cups of strong tea before going to bed. He tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. When he was full of annoyance, he suddenly heard a slight "rustling" sound, as if someone was slowly dragging something. He opened his eyes suddenly and his heart instantly rose to his throat - he saw that the white cloth on the mourning bed was being slowly uncovered and a woman with a face as pale as paper sat up.

Li Hua's scalp tingled and the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze instantly. He stared in horror, not daring to make a sound even when breathing. That woman was Old Man Chen's daughter-in-law. Her eyes were empty and the white gauze wrapped around her forehead was particularly glaring under the dim light. She slowly got up and walked towards the inner room.

The female corpse walked to the bed and bent over to blow on the three sleeping drivers in turn. With each blow, the drivers' breathing became more rapid and their chests heaved violently. Li Hua was extremely terrified. He quickly covered his head with the quilt and his body couldn't stop shaking. His heart was beating so fast that it almost burst out of his chest. Soon, the female corpse came to his bed. The stench of decay came over him. Li Hua closed his eyes tightly and bit his lip firmly, for fear of making a sound. After blowing on him a few times, the female corpse slowly left.

Li Hua waited for a long time. After making sure that the female corpse had gone far away, he timidly stuck his head out. He reached out and pushed his companions beside him. However, they didn't respond at all, as if they were in an endless sleep. Li Hua was extremely anxious and thought that he couldn't just wait for death. He carefully sat up and planned to put on his clothes and escape this terrible place. Just as his hand touched his clothes, that terrifying 'rustling' sound rang out again. Li Hua was so scared that he trembled all over and immediately lay back down, wrapping himself in the quilt and not daring to breathe. The female corpse lingered around him for a while and blew on him several times before leaving.

This time, Li Hua waited for a long time. Until it was completely silent around, he secretly stretched out his hand from under the quilt and fumbled to put on his clothes. Barefoot, he was like a frightened rabbit. He quietly walked to the door, opened it suddenly and rushed out. The female corpse seemed to sense the movement and immediately got up and chased after him. While running, Li Hua shouted for help loudly. However, the street was silent. Only his rapid footsteps and frightened shouts echoed in the empty street. He didn't dare to go back to the hotel to find Old Man Chen. He could only run desperately towards the city center.

While running, an abandoned factory appeared ahead. That factory was like a dormant beast in the night. The dilapidated fence and the towering chimney cast a gloomy shadow under the moonlight. There was a faint light flickering in the factory, like a glimmer of hope in the darkness. Li Hua didn't hesitate and ran towards the light as if it was his last straw.

After rushing into the factory, Li Hua found that Rongtian and Ah Qiang, two young men, were packing up tools. Rongtian was the night patrolman of the factory. He was agile and his eyes showed vigilance. Ah Qiang was a part-time security guard. He was burly and his face was full of simplicity. Li Hua was out of breath and told his experience incoherently. At first, Rongtian and Ah Qiang were full of doubts and thought this story was too bizarre, but seeing Li Hua's terrified expression, and hearing the strange footsteps coming from outside, their faces gradually became solemn.

The three hid behind a pile of debris and didn't dare to breathe. The female corpse slowly walked into the factory. Her eyes flashed with strange red light in the darkness, like two balls of ghostly fire. She searched everywhere in the factory. With each step, it seemed to bring a chill. Li Hua, Rongtian and Ah Qiang's hearts rose to their throats and they didn't dare to breathe for fear of being discovered by the female corpse. The female corpse circled around in the factory for a few times and seemed to sense their location and walked straight towards them.

Just when the female corpse was about to approach, Ah Qiang suddenly picked up an iron rod, shouted loudly and rushed out, trying to block the female corpse. The female corpse was enraged by this sudden attack and let out a sharp hiss and turned to pounce on Ah Qiang. Seeing this, Rongtian quickly picked up a wrench on the ground and joined the battle. Li Hua then summoned up his courage and picked up a wooden board and attacked the female corpse from the side. The three of them had a thrilling battle with the female corpse. The female corpse's strength was astonishing. Each attack brought a stench of decay. Rongtian and them gradually ran out of strength and were injured in many places.

At a critical moment, Rongtian found that the female corpse was very afraid of a huge utility pole in the factory. As long as she got close to it, the female corpse would let out a painful hiss and her body would tremble violently. Rongtian had a brainwave and shouted loudly to attract the female corpse's attention. While running, he provoked the female corpse and led her towards the utility pole. A Qiang and Li Hua understood tacitly and cooperated on the side. When the female corpse was unprepared, the three of them pushed the female corpse towards the utility pole together. The female corpse subconsciously grabbed the utility pole. At this moment, a powerful electric current passed through her body and the female corpse instantly froze there and couldn't move anymore.

After dawn, the police received the alarm and came. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were all greatly shocked. After an investigation, it turned out that Old Man Chen's daughter-in-law didn't die from a simple accident. Instead, it was a tragic occurrence caused by a medical negligence. Before she died, she had left a last word, hoping to find the doctor in charge of treatment and get justice. However, due to various reasons, this matter was finally left unsettled. Her soul couldn't rest in peace because of this and transferred all her anger to any living person within her sight, trying to attract the world's attention in this way.

Although Li Hua, Rongtian and A Qiang were still in a state of shock, fortunately they were all safe. Li Hua took the police back to the hotel. The other three drivers were still unconscious. After the doctors' all-out treatment, they gradually regained consciousness.

This incident caused a great stir in Bincheng. People were talking about this strange event after meals. And Li Hua, Rongtian and A Qiang also became friends who shared life and death because of this experience. They often met to recall that thrilling night, lamenting the hidden, terrible secrets in this seemingly peaceful city, there were actually such terrible secrets hidden. Whenever night fell, the shadow of that abandoned factory would always appear in their hearts, reminding them that the world was far more mysterious than they had imagined.
