It was 5 a.m.

Last night's light rain had caused a sudden drop in temperature in Y City.

Upon waking up, Chen Hao gently turned over, careful not to wake Ye Yuqiao, who was soundly asleep beside him.

"Idiot, I'm already awake!" Ye Yuqiao's voice suddenly rang out, shattering the room's silence.

"Ah! How did you wake up?" Chen Hao sighed. After speaking, he pulled Ye Yuqiao into his arms.

"I heard your heart talking!" Ye Yuqiao said from within Chen Hao's embrace, "You're taking all the blame on yourself again! Because you're upset and can't sleep, you've made me upset and sleepless too!"

Chen Hao gave a wry smile and said, "If I hadn't interrupted their Onmyoji blood-exchange ritual, the three of them wouldn't have turned into zombies, and then so many people wouldn't have been bitten!"

"Go ahead and blame yourself!" Ye Yuqiao huffed softly and then moved away from Chen Hao's chest, turning her back on him. "Idiot, you're not smart when you're supposed to be! Did you ever think that if you hadn't interrupted them, there would be three more zombies like Qin Shang in this world? You saw what happened when Qin Shang turned into a zombie that night! If last night's Corpse Driver Master was not just an ordinary zombie but that night's Qin Shang, do you think you would have had a chance to defeat him?"

"Alright!" Chen Hao shifted his body closer to Ye Yuqiao, his left hand caressing her smooth skin. Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he channeled the Nether King's Power into his left hand, activating the Hand of Death, then patted Ye Yuqiao on the shoulder.

"Idiot! You!" Ye Yuqiao immediately turned around to face Chen Hao, with a look of exasperated amusement on her face, and pinched Chen Hao's face with her left hand, huffing, "Naughty! Are you trying to send me to the Eighteen Levels of Hell? "

"Absolutely!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile!

Ye Yuqiao's expression darkened, and then she moved closer to Chen Hao's face and opened her mouth to give Chen Hao's nose a bite.

"I'll bite off your dog nose!"

"Clearly, I've been bitten by my dog!"

"Idiot!" Ye Yuqiao's tone turned serious in an instant, her face growing stern, taking on the air of a fierce queen. "What did you say?"

Chen Hao helplessly shrugged his shoulders and muttered, "Here we go again, suddenly turning on me when everything's fine!"

"Do you think you're being wronged?" Ye Yuqiao said contemptuously, "That's what you get for choosing a queen as a girlfriend!"

"How could I be wronged!" Chen Hao said, pulling Ye Yuqiao into his embrace again, "This is being on the winning end, to be able to hold a beauty in my arms, I could be sneaking a smile under the blankets for all you know!"

After a brief silence.

Chen Hao spoke again, "Yuqiao, once this is all over, you'll have to tell me about your past with Qin Shang and Ye Heng, how you met them, and what happened between you."

Ye Yuqiao frowned and huffed, pushing to free herself from Chen Hao.

Chen Hao, anticipating her reaction, wrapped his legs around Ye Yuqiao and continued, "I'm not as jealous as you! I want to know about them only to understand you better!"

Ye Yuqiao loosened the force in her hands and looked into Chen Hao's eyes. Seeing his calm face filled with sincerity, she nodded and agreed to tell him. "Alright, I'll tell you. But you also have to tell me about your ex-girlfriend!"

"Aha!" Chen Hao laughed, "True to form, a jealous and petty queen!"

"You got it wrong, it's a jealous and petty young lady!"

The night deepened over Y City.

In the hospital.

The rain that had started suddenly last night had not stopped, making the night exceptionally cold. This was especially true in the inherently chilly hospital, where the coldness became even more pronounced and bone-chilling.

Outside the intensive care unit, in addition to the passing doctors and nurses, there were also uniformed police officers standing guard.

In bed number one of the intensive care unit lay Wang Chuan's nine-year-old son, who was still clinging to the faint signs of life, at risk of leaving at any moment.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a sharp scream echoed from the other end of the corridor.

Startled, the two police officers guarding outside Intensive Care Unit One immediately became vigilant, exchanging a glance before hastily approaching.

As they turned the corner of the corridor, a pair of blood-red eyes and sharp fangs, flickering with a cold light, caught their view.

"Zombies!" one of the officers exclaimed, legs trembling with fear.

The other officer pulled out his gun from his waist and shot at the zombie in front of them.

"Roar!"

After letting out a howl, the zombie bit at the two officers!

Having killed the officers, the zombie walked toward the intensive care ward and eventually entered Intensive Care Unit One.

Upon seeing the child lying on the hospital bed, the red glow in the zombie's eyes faded, and the sharp fangs retracted.

This zombie was none other than Wang Chuan.

Wang Chuan, trembling, slowly made his way to the ward, eyes brimming with tears.

When he got to the bedside, he leaned his face close to his son and wept bitterly, "Son, Daddy is so sorry! Daddy is so sorry!"

Just then, a flurry of panicked, urgent footsteps could be heard outside the door, several police officers and an Onmyoji were on their way.

Wang Chuan turned around, used the Earth Technique to summon a thick earthen wall to block the door, and then, he applied the Five Elements Transformation Technique to turn the earthen wall into iron barriers.

"Bang, bang, bang!" It wasn't long before the sounds of beating and striking echoed against the iron barriers.

Wang Chuan turned back again to look at his dying son, his face ashen.

Suddenly, Wang Chuan's son weakly opened his eyes, his lips moving slightly beneath the oxygen mask. Judging by the shape of his mouth, he was calling out "Daddy."

Seeing this, Wang Chuan cried even more violently.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep!" At that moment, the nearby monitoring equipment emitted the sound of death.

"Son!" Wang Chuan shouted, suddenly his face contorting with fangs bared.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep!"

Wang Chuan stared blankly at his son, his expression full of agony, struggling with the hesitation of whether to turn his own son into a zombie.

"Roar, roar!" Wang Chuan roared loudly. In the end, he still gave up!

He knelt on the floor, his head lying on the edge of the bed, crying out loud, screaming continuously.

"Daddy!" Not long after, his son's Yin Soul had left the body. "Daddy, please send me on my last journey!"

Wang Chuan lifted his head to look at his son's indifferent expression, never having imagined that one day, he would personally have to see his son's soul off.

"Daddy is sorry!"

...

Ten minutes later, when the iron barriers at the door had vanished, Wang Chuan was no longer there.

In the alley near the hospital entrance.

"Wang Chuan, we've finally caught you!"
