Once preparations were complete, the reincarnators left the altar amidst the firelight.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves inside a moving armored vehicle.

Strictly speaking, this is not an armored vehicle, but a vehicle modified from a medium-sized passenger car by adding steel plates and weapons.

In the apocalypse, having a means of transportation is a luxury, and such a meticulously modified vehicle is a luxury car that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

At this moment, there were not just one, but three such modified vehicles, each carrying fifteen people.

In addition to the thirty-six reincarnators, there were six researchers led by Dr. Bard and three drivers, totaling forty-five people.

Here, the reincarnators act as a guard, escorting Dr. Bard to find research data, just as the mission description states.

Zhang Lang sat in the first armored vehicle.

Besides the driver, there are six researchers in this vehicle, so there are only eight reincarnators here.

"According to the altar's usual practice, the power is usually balanced."

The virtual voice analyzed within Zhang Lang's mind:

"Since the first vehicle has more non-combatants, then for the sake of balance, the eight reincarnators here should be relatively strong."

"Pretty strong, huh..."

Zhang Lang's gaze swept across the carriage. Besides himself and Xiao Mo, there were seven other people traveling together.

Ning Chengyu was definitely there. He was wearing a loose trench coat, with a uniquely styled belt around his waist, and holding a white longsword. He didn't seem to be carrying any firearms.

Beside Young Master Ning was his blonde secretary, who was holding a tablet. Her name was Catherine, and besides the tablet, she also had two handguns at her waist, one black and one white, with very similar styles, so they must be a pair.

On the other side was the bearded man who had initially struck up a conversation with Zhang Lang. His name was Kang Hai, and he was a key combatant in the team. He carried an ordinary assault rifle, wore a vest and leather pants, his arms were exposed, his muscles were bulging, and he wore combat gloves. Judging from his distinctive appearance, he was probably also a top-tier fighter.

Next to the bearded Kang Hai was a thin, elderly black man named Gaman. He had a white cloth wrapped around his head, a white beard that hung down to his chest, and his upper body was bare, painted with unique paint. He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes in meditation, and the bracelets on his wrists jingled with the bumps of the vehicle.

Opposite the old man sat a thin, Asian man named Fujita Shinichi. He wore a shirt and trousers, and black-rimmed glasses, looking like any ordinary office worker. However, the briefcase he carried wasn't filled with contracts and documents.

Next to Fujita squatted a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old. The boy had no hair on his head... not only his hair, but also his eyebrows and eyelashes. His skin was also frighteningly pale, making him look quite eerie.

Everyone called this guy Ah Kong. He was wearing a hospital gown and seemed to have nothing with him except for a standard-issue firearm. He was squatting there, hugging his knees, staring blankly at the roof of the vehicle, motionless. Despite the bumpy ride, he remained remarkably steady in his squatting position.

Across from Akong is the last reincarnator in this car in the team.

She was a cold and beautiful woman with short silver hair. Beside her was a huge rectangular box, and she had a backpack slung across her body. The backpack strap was cinched between her breasts, outlining a breathtaking curve.

Her name was Alcy, and Zhang Lang noticed that she seemed to be the one among the reincarnators who was the coldest to Young Master Ning.

If my guess is correct, these seven people should be the strongest fighting force of Altar 241!

"Everyone, according to the map, we are about to enter the territory of Caliccia."

At the front of the carriage, an elderly man wearing glasses said, "According to the badge, this is the key figure in this mission, Dr. Bard."

"Calicia State was the first place where the epidemic broke out, and given its dense population, there are likely to be a large number of high-level mutated monsters there. Please be vigilant!"

"Can monsters evolve and mutate?" Ning Chengyu asked directly.

Catherine, standing to the side, frowned and tugged at Ning's sleeve:

"For mercenaries in this world, the types of monsters should be common knowledge; it's best not to ask so directly..."

"Oh, what are you afraid of!" Ning Chengyu waved his hand. "We just came in; the altar will cover for us!"

"It's best to avoid discussing altars..."

Catherine was only halfway through her reminder when Dr. Bard across from her began introducing the situation to everyone:

"Although the types of monsters should be common knowledge to everyone, I'll introduce them again for the sake of the mission's success!"

Hearing this, Ning Chengyu gave Catherine a smug look, as if to say, "See, I told you so!"

As if he hadn't noticed Ning Chengyu's actions, Dr. Bard continued his introduction:

"Animals infected with the virus will initially only become zombies... but over time, some of them, those with more genetic potential, may begin to evolve into stronger monsters under certain conditions."

"To make it easier to distinguish, we call zombies the first stage, the monsters that evolve from zombies the second stage, and further evolution is the third stage... Currently, the highest level that monsters that evolve normally should be the fourth stage. The proportion of each stage that evolves to the next stage is about 1% to 2%. In other words, on average, only one fourth stage zombie might appear out of hundreds of thousands of zombies."

"You just mentioned conventional evolution, but what about unconventional evolution?"

This time, the one asking the questions was Kang Hai, who had a thick beard.

Dr. Bard nodded:

"The so-called 'normal' refers to the evolutionary path of ordinary zombies that have been scratched, bitten, or infected. In most parts of the world, zombies can only evolve in this way."

"However, as the location of the research institute and the place where the virus initially broke out, Caliccia State has many special test subjects who escaped from the laboratory, as well as some terrifying monsters that were infected by high concentrations of the viral stock solution and underwent drastic mutations!"

"These monsters mostly don't follow conventional evolutionary paths and are usually extremely dangerous!"

"Do you have any information about these monsters?" This time it was Catherine's turn to ask.

"I'm sorry, most of the data wasn't taken out of the lab during the escape..." Dr. Bard shook his head regretfully, "But if I find it, I'll explain it to everyone..."

"Tch, in the end he's just a commentator..."

Young Master Ning was quite disappointed upon hearing this. Carrying his long sword, he looked out the car window through the barbed wire:

"When will we encounter monsters...?"

"immediately."

This time, it was Zhang Lang who spoke.

He looked in the direction the vehicle was traveling:

"They're here."
