When Fu Xing returned, his brows were slightly furrowed.

Luo Ning put down the game console in his hand.

"Is he very strong? He looks so pale."

Cheng Rang, who was behind Fu Xing, sighed, "That zombie king is different from what we imagined. According to the investigators, it seems to be conscious."

"Conscious?"

Luo Ning sat up straight. "Conscious, or a zombie?"

"Yes, the team members who went to investigate said that its behavior is different from that of ordinary zombies. It seems to be able to think and react very quickly. If it weren't for its rotting appearance, it would be almost indistinguishable from a human."

Luo Ning took the tablet from Fu Xing's hand, which contained photos and videos taken by the reconnaissance team.

The zombie king behaved like a human, yet also differently.

The video actually showed many human survivors being kept in captivity.

They were kept together, given food and water, and had rosy complexions and plump figures, appearing to be living well.

but……

Those people had pale lips and their faces were filled with terror.

The room was covered in blood, and there were dismembered limbs and remains in the corner.

"They are consciously raising humans as food."

Fu Xing's face was grim. If it were just mindless zombies, that would be fine.

But the zombie king clearly possessed human consciousness, and it still chose to raise humans as food.

This is even more unacceptable than mindless zombies.

Luo Ning had never seen anything like this before. In her previous life, she had seen many mutated plants and animals that had become spirits, and she had killed countless high-level zombies.

But she had actually encountered zombies who possessed human consciousness yet acted in ways even worse than zombies.

"Discuss it with the others and act as soon as possible."

Luo Ning's expression turned cold. She could accept survivors dying in the mouths of mindless zombies, but she could not accept them being tortured like this.

"it is good."

Fu Xing nodded and led Cheng Rang downstairs to discuss the matter with the others.

Everyone who saw that scene in the video felt terrible.

There was no excessive delay.

In the evening, they took the lead in deploying drones and robots into the city.

Luo Ning packed up the RV and prepared to go into the city.

"We've been discovered."

Fu Xing held a tablet, showing the monitoring data transmitted from the drone.

The neatly dressed zombie king stood on the high platform in the center of the square, staring intently at the drone.

Clearly, they were discovered the first time they sent the drone in.

It was surrounded by zombies, and the nearby streets were teeming with them.

But there are far more zombies in this city than just this; the city had a population of over a million before the apocalypse.

Only a few hundred thousand survivors made it out; the rest turned into zombies.

Later, the zombie king lured the surrounding zombies over.

Among these people, perhaps only Luo Ning can get in, but getting in doesn't mean you can get out.

Moreover, there are tens of thousands of survivors inside, and the difficulty of bringing them back safely is immeasurable.

"What should we do?"

Fu Xing looked at Luo Ning. Forcing his way in wouldn't work; he had originally planned to sneak in quietly.

Unexpectedly, the zombie king was already on guard against them.

Luo Ning took the tablet, which displayed a topographical map of the city and showed the monitoring system operating normally.

If the power didn't go out, there must be a lot of chemical raw materials.

"What did they say from the Xuanwu base?"

Once Fu Xing and his team understood the situation in the city, they immediately relayed it back to the Xuanwu Base.

"The base commander has contacted the surrounding survivor bases and asked them to provide us with full assistance."

Luo Ning was somewhat envious of the supplies in the city, but she wasn't alone.

If we manage to break through in the end, the supplies inside will definitely be divided equally among everyone, which is a bit of a shame.

Just as I was thinking this, my bracelet suddenly rang; it was Mr. Fu.

"What are you doing? Sending me a video before the battle is dangerous."

Luo Ning felt guilty; she and Old Man Fu had an agreement to split the supplies along the way.

She almost went in and moved everything herself.

As soon as Old Fu saw her, he knew that her Pixiu-like nature had resurfaced.

"You are not allowed to go in by yourself. I will be the remote commander for this mission. You are not allowed to act on your own."

Old Fu's serious expression wasn't entirely due to Luo Ning's earlier thoughts.

It was only after watching the videos that they realized the situation here was far more serious than they had imagined.

The only news coming back from the surrounding bases was that there was a zombie king of unknown level here.

It didn't mention that there were tens of thousands of survivors and a conscious zombie king among them.

Furthermore, this zombie king is quite intelligent, and there are hundreds of thousands of zombies in the city.

"The situation inside the city is suspicious. You are not allowed to go in on your own. Stay with Fu Xing and the others and wait for further instructions."

Old Fu looked at Luo Ning seriously, knowing that this girl was used to working alone, and he was afraid that she would sneak in.

"I understand. So what do we do now? Just wait like this?"

Luo Ning was helpless. She was alone, and with the invisibility function of 123, she could enter the city without any hindrance.

But it's impossible for her to rescue the survivors one by one.

"How about I go and kill the zombie king?"

Luo Ning shook his head after speaking. Without the control of the Zombie King, those survivors would soon become food for hundreds of thousands of zombies.

"Go back first. We'll have an online meeting in ten minutes, and you'll all participate."

Mr. Fu hung up after he finished speaking.

Luo Ning and his companions had no choice but to return the way they came.

After the meeting, the group fell silent.

At the meeting, Mr. Fu said that the zombie king inside might not be the mastermind, and the killer should be human.

This is the result of careful analysis by various experts based on the videos sent back.

But who is behind this? How many are there? What weapons do they possess? Why are they able to control the zombies? They have no idea.

"Too easy," Luo Ning murmured.

"What's too easy?"

Liang Xiao was so angry that she spun around in circles. There was a video in the meeting that they had never seen before. It showed the survivors being bled and their flesh cut up to be eaten by the zombies.

There was also a scream from a man and a woman, their faces flushed red; everyone knew what it meant.

The zombie king stood by and watched them release the drones into the city.

"It's intentional. All the images transmitted back from inside were deliberately leaked by it, but the real person behind it is nowhere to be found."

Luo Ning explained that everything they were seeing was what the people inside wanted them to see.

Make them think that it's dangerous, but within their capabilities.

If they hadn't been stopped by Old Fu, they might have become zombie food, just like every other squad before them.

"In the past, none of the reports from the squads mentioned how dangerous it was inside; it's just that every squad that went into the city never came back alive."

Later, the base became alert and secretly sent people to investigate.

That's why they are standing here today.

Fu Xing's face was grim. Who exactly was the mastermind behind this city?

If it's not the Zombie King, then could it be... a human?

"I want to go into the city," Luo Ning said.

"No, just now..." Fu Xing immediately refused.

Xiao Jie gripped Luo Ning's hand tightly to express his meaning.

She would do anything, but she couldn't abandon him.
