God-Like Extraction

Chapter 57: The Fingers Moved

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As expected, Duan Feihong and his gang all got into trouble this time.

The barbarians in their control were all dead.

To extract more Martial Arts Practice Cards, Su Jingxing would have to find other channels.

Corpse Puppets?

Unreliable.

Su Jingxing immediately rejected the idea.

Since I cannot find a source of Martial Arts Practice Cards for the time being, I shall put the matter aside first.

He wouldn’t have a need for them anytime soon anyway.

His level of mastery of his few martial arts was enough to deal with most situations.

Not to mention that I still have 100,000 catties of strength!

With this thought in mind, Su Jingxing was no longer conflicted.

…

The next day, he continued to go to work and move corpses.

[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“Yes!”

[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]

“Yes!”

…

The routine of moving corpses was as dull and joyful as ever.

Of course, joyful to Su Jingxing.

To Kong Dabao and Feng Tiejian, it was for the sake of making a living.

Su Jingxing was different. With the increase in his soul power, his extraction range expanded further to five meters.

With himself as the center, as long as there was a corpse within a radius of five meters, he would receive the notification.

This was very helpful to Su Jingxing and saved him a lot of trouble.

Putting everything else aside, the number of corpses extracted had increased by half compared to before.

Su Jingxing could extract cards from the newly delivered corpses across an aisle.

Not to mention the morgue——each time a corpse came in, he would extract a corpse…

Hmm???

As usual, Su Jingxing walked into the morgue and was about to move the corpses when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Kong Dabao, who was walking behind him, nearly bumped into him.

He hurriedly dodged and said angrily, “Little Su, why did you suddenly stop? Don’t you know that I’m following behind?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Su Jingxing resumed walking and apologized, “I just suddenly recalled something and wasn’t paying attention. Please forgive me.”

“What’s the matter?” Kong Dabao winked. “Don’t tell me your Wanrong is pregnant? You young people are just not careful. I’m telling you, you have to take precautions for this kind of thing. After all, you’re still young…”

“You’re thinking too much.”

Su Jingxing interrupted him speechlessly. Then, without waiting for Kong Dabao to continue teasing, his expression became serious. He pointed at a corpse on the right and said solemnly, “Big Brother Dabao, I think I saw the finger of this corpse move.”

“What!”

Kong Dabao suddenly retreated, his face covered in shock and disbelief. “You… you didn’t see wrongly?”

Su Jingxing did not answer. Instead, he walked towards the corpse.

As he walked, he activated his secret ability, Advanced Hearing, and listened out for a heartbeat.

And he really did catch one!

That’s right. The reason why Su Jingxing suddenly stopped was because this corpse was clearly within the extraction range, but he did not receive any notifications.

There was only one possibility in this situation——the person was still alive!

Since he was not dead, he was not considered a corpse.

It then made sense that cheat ability didn’t give any notifications.

It had been a while since Su Jingxing started moving corpses, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Subconsciously, he was a little shocked.

When he came back to his senses, he decided to investigate. After all, it concerned a life.

At this moment, hearing the faint heartbeat confirmed his guess.

Of course, this was all thanks to the secret ability. A normal person’s hearing would not be capable of this.

Su Jingxing had to find another excuse if he wanted to save this person.

He pondered for a moment.

Su Jingxing came up with a plan. Under Kong Dabao’s shocked gaze, he walked over to the corpse, lifted the sheet, and lowered his head. Half of his face was pressed against the corpse’s chest.

After a while, he stood up and shouted at Kong Dabao excitedly, “Big Brother Dabao, there’s still a heartbeat. This person isn’t dead!”

“…”

To be honest, Kong Dabao was a little stunned.

Su Jingxing was too bold.

He went to listen to the heartbeat once he saw the corpse’s fingers move. Did he have to be so reckless?

Although he had seen many corpses and was already numb to them, this was his first time encountering such a situation.

A corpse that isn’t completely dead… No, a person that isn’t completely dead… If we really cremated him, wouldn’t that be committing a sin?

Of course, the movement of a corpse could also be due to the presence of the Corpse-raising Insect.

However, the probability of this happening was extremely low.

The crematorium has a certification for the time of death for every corpse when they are picked up.

In most cases, the Corpse-raising Devil Insect Egg would not seek out people who died within a day and night.

Especially in the city, there were very few Corpse-raising Insect Eggs.

Nothing would happen even after 24 hours. Only after 48 hours could a corpse be invaded by the insect eggs.

The corpses in the crematorium were basically from the city, so the chances of that happening were very low.

Even if they were really unlucky, the chances of a corpse carrying Corpse-raising Insect Eggs and turning into Corpse Puppets to injure others were slim.

That was because the corpses in the crematorium were turned over very quickly. As long as there were not a large number of corpses coming in at once, they would be cremated on the same day they were brought in.

Perhaps Corpse Puppets have appeared in other crematoriums and caused a tragedy.

However, there had never been a case like this in Qinghe City over the past few decades.

In fact, the probability of encountering Corpse Puppets in a crematorium was even lower than that in the buildings in the city.

Otherwise, how many people would be willing to work at the crematorium?

This time, Kong Dabao was truly startled.

After a long while, he closed his mouth and followed in Su Jingxing’s steps to slowly walk to the corpse. At Su Jingxing’s gesture, he leaned over and listened to the heartbeat.

“Badump~!”

“Yes, there is one!”

Kong Dabao abruptly lifted his head and exclaimed in shock, “Are all the people in the hospital idiots? They actually sent someone who isn’t dead here! If it weren’t for your careful observation, this person would have died for nothing!”

After confirming that the person was really alive, Kong Dabao’s fear was washed away and he indignantly cursed the quack doctors.

Protesting against the injustice for the corpse… no, for the person on the bed.

“Little Su, wait here. I’ll go get the director. We must have an explanation for this!”

Kong Dabao punched the air and ran out of the morgue angrily.

Su Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what the situation was with this person, it was ultimately a good thing that he could be saved.

Of course, if he was a vicious and evil thug who deserved to die, Su Jingxing would not spill even if he had discovered it.

He had to keep his bottom line. He would kill whoever he ought to be killed.

Su Jingxing took a look at the information of this person. He looked like an honest man. His name was Zhang Shanfu, an ordinary middle-aged man, 43 years old.

On Earth Star, there were many who were already grandfathers at this age.

The same went for Zhang Shanfu. He had a son and a daughter. His grandson had been born less than half a year ago.

His cause of death was drowning. Before the accident, he was the backbone of the family.

Saving such a person was equivalent to accumulating merit.

…

“This way. This way.”

A flurry of footsteps could be heard. Following Kong Dabao’s voice, the management of the crematorium, including Director Wu Shouhan, rushed into the morgue.

Su Jingxing quickly shouted at them and then made way for Wu Shouhan and the others to check.

Everyone leaned down to listen to the heartbeat and confirmed that the man was really alive. Their expressions were each more interesting than the other.

In the end, Wu Shouhan channeled his internal force into Zhang Shanfu while he sighed and said, “Thank goodness. Thank goodness Little Su observed carefully and discovered this in time. That was why we didn’t make any mistakes!”

“I’ve decided to make Little Su a full-time member in advance. Does anyone have any objections?”
