Since some of the bystanders were watching him, one of them asked, "Hey! Brother, how did it feel when that young lady touched you?" Zhou Chao had to force a smile and said, "Great! Great! That little pepper was quite spicy! Oh! Oh!" Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, as his lower part burned with intense pain, nearly bringing tears to his eyes. The other onlookers laughed at Zhou Chao, saying, "He's not up to par—doesn't even make an appearance, can't he be a man at all?" "He must have developed erectile dysfunction!" another spectator remarked sarcastically. Zhou Chao couldn't reply; at that moment, he longed to sink into any crack in the ground, yet he was right in the middle of the street, where there was no such opening. Then, a blind man, walking with his cane, accidentally struck just right on Zhou Chao's lower part, "Ouch!" Zhou Chao was stung again by that iron hook, and it hurt terribly. Damn it—just a touch from the little chili pepper earlier had sent him reeling with heat, and now he was certain the pepper must have been infused with some kind of intense, numbing peppercorn powder—definitely a super-hot Sichuan pepper powder! Now, with the blind man’s cane piercing him, his skin was already broken, and the fiery powder surged in, penetrating deep into his body. The pain was as if several sharp knives had been driven directly into his penis. He wanted to rush up and give that blind man a good scolding, but the crowd of ordinary, indecent children were laughing at him, and he dared not make a move. So he gritted his teeth and endured. At that moment, a group of children playing on the street tossed a brick toward Zhou Chao. "Ah!"—this time, not only was his precious testicle painfully sore, but it had actually started bleeding. Zhou Chao, after being humiliated by Gao Liang's third brother for his clumsy attempts to flirt with Zhang Yurong at Zui Xian Lou—where he ended up with a bloody erection and was viciously kicked—has now developed a phobia. As soon as his erection starts bleeding, he panics, shouting at his third brother, "What are you two waiting for? Hurry up! Carry me to the hospital! If my life force is gone, you won't last a minute!" Though Gao Liang may be clumsy, he's still the boss, and the third brother promptly responds, lifting Zhou Chao and rushing him toward the hospital. "Oh, for heaven's sake! You two—lighten up! You're hurting my life force again!" Zhou Chao trembles all the way, constantly moaning, yet the third brother pays no attention, continuing to carry him, saying, "Boss, just hold on—soon we'll be there!" But Zhou Chao finds himself even more in pain, and finally sighs, "What a day! All this trouble is entirely due to Gao Liang!" Laozi is nothing now. Even the young and the children are starting to bully me. No, I can't keep suffering like this. I must train. I must become a master, I must become a god! In the ward of Kyoto City's First Hospital, Dongdong, under Zhou Chao, was cut by the surgical blade. Zhou Chao cried out in pain, "Mama! Mama!" The surgeon, an elderly doctor, was performing the operation. Zhou Chao watched him with a ghostly gaze. The doctor sensed a strange resemblance and prepared to leave, only to be suddenly pinned by Zhou Chao's hands around the neck. "W-what are you doing?" the doctor gasped, struggling desperately. Zhou Chao tightened his grip. The doctor spat out white foam and his body gradually softened. Zhou Chao's face turned fierce, his mouth opening wide—now a gaping, toothy maw. "I'm going to eat you alive!" Zhou Chao's voice, like that of a demon, echoed through the ward. "O-older... older... doctor!" "The third brother just entered the ward from outside and saw Zhou Chao devoureding the old doctor, so terrified that he could hardly speak. Zhou Chao tossed a piece of flesh toward him and said, 'The taste of fresh meat is the best! Try it!' The third brother had originally intended to refuse, but upon noticing the fragrant aroma of the meat being thrown, he immediately rushed to grab it. 'Hahaha!' The four of them became flesh-eating creatures. People transform into flesh-eating animals through infection by the flesh-eating beasts. This is because, during their battles against the beasts, they had sustained injuries and bled. The four had licked the blood that adhered to their bodies from the beasts. Anyone who had come into contact with the blood of the flesh-eating beasts became under the influence of the magical blood, becoming unusually frenzied and developing a strong preference for eating living animals—including their own kind. After consuming human flesh, the four underwent remarkable physical transformations." First, it was evident in Zhou Chao. Zhou Chao had become incredibly strong, especially his lower member, which had grown remarkably thick and robust—like a donkey's whip. "Hahahaha! Now my member is so thick and substantial that you little chili pepper will surely find it small and inadequate! If you're lucky, I'll give you a good beating when we meet! Look at the strength of Zhou Chao!" Zhou Chao's lustful smile shone on his face. At that moment, someone outside the room called out, "Old Liu! Old Liu!" Zhou Chao and his three companions tensed—bad news, someone had arrived! The person seeking Old Liu was indeed quite sharp—he didn't enter the ward at all, merely glanced outside. "Ah! Old Liu has been murdered! Old Liu has been murdered! My goodness! He's been completely devoured by something!" The voice of this person echoed throughout the entire hospital. Immediately, the hospital security staff rushed toward the scene. Zhou Chao and his three companions quickly grabbed any physician's gown they could find, and, taking advantage of the crowd's confusion, slipped out of the hospital unnoticed. That same evening, Kyōto City Television reported a startling news story, sending shockwaves through the entire city: at Kyōto City's First People's Hospital, a mysterious murder had occurred. The victim was a 50-something physician who was literally dismembered, cut into pieces, and consumed during a surgical procedure. The four male patients who had come for treatment were identified as suspects, and despite ongoing investigations, they have yet to be apprehended. The report aired footage from the hospital ward's surveillance cameras, but the image was blurry—due to the sudden power outage that occurred during the incident. This added an even greater sense of horror and mystery to the scene. The police had issued a reward of 100,000 yen for any leads that would help solve the case. "There are still flesh-eating monsters out there!" said Deng, one of the three friends and the stout one. "That's just a legend! Don't believe it!" said the awkward Yang. "If they actually appear, the city of Jingzhou won't have a single peaceful day!" sighed Wu, the soft-spoken one. High Light looked at the three of them and said, "What's there to be afraid of? When the monsters come, I'll take them on!" The three friends smiled happily and said, "Boss, you're always so busy—how could you possibly find time for these little things? Then let me show off a bit!"
