Chapter 2585: Chapter 1173: Where Did Xia Hongyao Find This Treasure?
Lin Baici locked the security door and then cleared out the nearby zombies, but he still wasn’t at ease. He deliberately made noise to lure away the zombies wandering on most of the street.
Gurgle!
Lin Baici’s stomach growled. Following the radar of his hunger, he came to an internet café not far from Haijing Normal University.
When he broke in, it looked like a slaughterhouse there, with a thick layer of blood covering the ground.
Lin Baici continued deeper inside.
The unused computers had blue screens, running unknown data automatically, appearing very eerie.
Suddenly!
A gust of wind pressure came from above.
Lin Baici immediately teleported.
Bang!
A zombie crashed to the ground, splattering flesh everywhere.
"Is this the BOSS?"
Lin Baici calmly assessed the zombie.
Over two meters tall, rather skinny, not walking upright but crawling like a Komodo dragon. A thin, long tongue flicked in and out of its mouth, hissing.
’Amitabha!’
Lin Baici donned the kasaya.
The zombie BOSS charged forward, instantly struck in the head by the Muscle Buddha appearing before Lin Baici, toppling it over.
Swoosh!
Lin Baici followed up with a Storm Hammer, striking it on the head.
This monster, polluted by taboo things, could no longer threaten Lin Baici.
Using Muscle Buddha as a meat shield, Lin Baici attacked, and in just one minute, reduced the zombie BOSS to a pile of mush.
"Taboo things?"
Lin Baici searched the shattered corpse but didn’t find any taboo things, so he had to keep looking.
Fortunately, luck was on his side.
Upon reaching the third VIP room, Lin Baici discovered the computer case turned into a taboo thing.
It was now parasitized by some filaments of flesh, and the spinning fan emitted wails like human cries.
On the computer screen, a zombie game was being played.
The earlier zombie BOSS was actually a player here; when the computer host was radiated and polluted into a taboo thing, he met his end.
Lin Baici took out the Black Coffin, collecting the taboo thing.
"Phew!"
Lin Baici sighed in relief. Now Jiang Yitong and her group should be safe; what’s left is dealing with the God’s bones!
With the hunger radar, finding them was extremely easy for Lin Baici, with the only trouble being the frequent engagement in rule pollution along the way.
But this time, Lin Baici’s luck held out.
Whether due to this piece of God’s bones consuming too much Life Essence upon landing, the pollution it radiated was weak and didn’t form many taboo things.
This computer host should be the most terrifying one.
Lin Baici followed the hunger radar into a restaurant.
As he crossed the threshold, a suffocating sensation engulfed him, like drowning.
Instinctively, Lin Baici opened his mouth to breathe, making the suffocation worse, so he quickly closed his mouth.
Though there was no water in the restaurant, there was a drowning sensation, and his movements were hindered as if he were underwater.
Lin Baici knew it wasn’t an illusion; before long, he’d drown, so he swiftly took out the White River Dolphin’s Tooth and put it in his mouth.
This item could let him breathe underwater for half an hour.
Yet this time, the taboo thing did not work.
[No taboo things or Divine Grace will take effect in this rule pollution!]
[You must find the God’s bones, contain it, to purify the pollution!]
[Remember, you have only seven minutes; after that, it’s certain death.]
Hearing the Eater God’s comment, Lin Baici didn’t hesitate, immediately swimming towards the fish tank in the east corner.
Inside, separate compartments housed seven or eight types of fish, each with a price tag in the corner of the compartment.
The most expensive was the Eastern Star Grouper, over a hundred yuan per jin.
Lin Baici took out a police stun baton, poking it into the compartment with the Eastern Star Grouper.
Crackle! Crackle!
A blue arc of electricity flashed, and the Eastern Star Grouper thrashed violently, splashing water everywhere.
Smack!
The Eastern Star Grouper leapt up, landing on the ground.
Lin Baici immediately discarded the stun baton, switching to the Bronze Sword and chopping down.
Ting!
It was like striking metal; the sword’s blade collided with the Eastern Star Grouper, sparking fiercely.
Raising his hand, Lin Baici swung again!
The second sword!
Ting
The fish’s head was chopped off!
The bisected fish struggled a few times before falling still.
The drowning sensation enveloping Lin Baici also disappeared.
This Eastern Star Grouper had been parasitized by the God’s bones.
But how did Lin Baici know?
Because as soon as he entered, this Eastern Star Grouper’s eyes looked at him.
Lin Baici, already meticulous, had enhanced his body to perceive every detail, missing nothing.
If the Eastern Star Grouper hadn’t given that look, Lin Baici would have needed another solution.
Phew!
Lin Baici sighed in relief.
With the Eastern Star Grouper’s death, the pollution effect of the God’s bones quickly receded, neutralizing the crisis in this area.
Lin Baici sealed it with the Black Coffin.
Leaving the restaurant, Lin Baici swapped his SIM card, turned on his phone, and received a flurry of missed call texts and WeChat messages, ringing continuously.
They were all from Xia Hongyao, urging Lin Baici to call her back immediately upon restoring communication.
Lin Baici dialed back, and the call connected after a single ring.
"Little Linzi, where are you?"
The voice of the high ponytail was so loud that Lin Baici had to hold the phone away from his ear, lest his eardrums be shattered.
