Liu Bingzheng said, "Currently, we cannot determine whether this Corpse King was born from natural evolution or artificially created by the Cataclysm Research Institute. If it was born naturally, the Cataclysm Research Institute will definitely try to recruit it. If you encounter an unknown team, be sure to be vigilant and do not easily entrust them with your trust."

"I've got it."

After hanging up the phone, Wenrenlei felt a pang of sadness.

The Zombie King's power forces the teams to cooperate, but at the same time, they must be wary of people infiltrating the Cataclysmic Research Institute.

Wenren sighed softly, "It's truly a difficult journey."

The A1-V drove non-stop for two whole days through the wind and snow, and Light Trail City was now in sight.

Fu Yan kept a close eye on sensing the aura of the new Corpse King the whole way.

The carriage was bustling with activity. Meng Fan was alone in a corner of the living room honing his superpowers, while Cheng Nianli and Chi Qingmo were watching a movie with Wanzi in their arms.

Wenren Lei sat on the carpet, playing cards with Yi Yang and Han Mingjie. The three of them slammed the playing cards down, making a louder noise than firecrackers exploding.

Fu Yan sat beside Wenren Lei, acting as his human pillow, and occasionally feeding him a piece of fruit.

Wenren Lei didn't get a single trump card in his hand, but he still insisted on calling for the landlord, and was beaten badly by his two good brothers.

With several strips of paper stuck to his face, he said pitifully, "I'm begging you, use every trick in the book you have on me."

Yi Yang, expressionless, tossed out two cards: "A pair of Kings."

At this moment, Fu Yan's ears twitched slightly. He turned his head to look at Wenren Lei and chuckled softly with an ambiguous meaning.

Wenren Lei blew the piece of paper off her face and tilted her head to ask, "What's wrong?"

Fu Yan said, "You'll find out soon enough."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Wenren Lei threw down two cards. "A pair of cards, please, don't take them."

"Royal Flush!" Han Mingjie slammed down two cards with the force of a hundred million.

Before Wenren Lei could even let out a wail, a loud crash suddenly came from the roof of the RV, as if something heavy had hit it.

Fu Yan shook his head helplessly upon hearing the commotion.

The car fell silent instantly, everyone straining to hear. Wenren Lei called out, "Hey, what's going on?"

A1-V displayed the surveillance footage in the air and coldly stated, "We were attacked by a lowly zombie king."

Wenren Lei looked up and saw Wen Chi squatting on the roof of the car, having stepped on a deep hole in the A1-V.

Wen Chi flashed a "V" sign at the monitor screen and said with a smile, "Little ones~ Uncle's here to protect you~"

Han Mingjie was almost moved to tears: "My uncle is so kind and righteous."

Wenren Lei stared at the cards in her hand and said, "Who says it isn't?"

In the surveillance footage, Wen Chi was climbing up to the second floor through the car window, and the A1-V humbly used its crystal core energy to repair the deep pit he had created.

Yi Yang smiled sympathetically, glanced back at the card game on the ground, and slowly raised his eyebrows: "Hmm? Boss, did you secretly switch the cards?"

Wenren Lei, clutching the extra King and Queen in her hand, said, "You must provide evidence when you speak."

Just as Wen Chi entered the carriage, Wenren Lei unleashed her stolen trump card, blasting Yi Yang and Han Mingjie to smithereens.

Wenren Lei looked at Wen Chi: "Why are you here? Didn't you say you'd stay home and take care of my brother?"

Wen Chi unceremoniously snatched the fruit plate from Fu Yan's hand, picked up a piece of wax apple and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "He's doing alright for now, let me help you."

At this moment, A1-V announced: "We have arrived in Lightrail City."

Wenren Lei ripped the paper off her face and quickly walked to the front of the car to look out.

The snow outside showed no signs of letting up, with dense snowflakes flying everywhere, making it hard to breathe. He said in a deep voice, "Go directly to the Cloud Map Base."

"Yes, Master."

Wen Chi followed, munching on fruit, and asked, "What's troubling you?"

Wenren tearfully said, "I don't know if Huang Yijie is dead or alive."

"That depends on fate," Wen Chi said, then turned and went into the kitchen to find something to eat.

From the moment they entered Guanggui City, Fu Yan remained silent. Wenren Lei tilted her head and asked him, "Brother Yan, why aren't you saying anything?"

Fu Yan walked to his side, his face grim, and said, "I sensed the aura of that Corpse King."

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow: "In the light trail? Don't tell me the Corpse King is at the Cloud Atlas Base."

Fu Yan said, "The Corpse King's aura has a wide range and no central source, so it's hard to pinpoint its exact location, but we can confirm that it's in Light Track City."

Wenren Lei said, "Oh my, speed it up!"

"receive!"

He sat in the passenger seat and stared blankly at Fu Yan's profile.

If Fu Yan sensed the new Corpse King's aura as soon as he entered Light Track City, why didn't Wen Chi, who was of a higher level than Fu Yan, mention it when they were chatting earlier?

Given Wen Chi's personality, he would never miss such an opportunity to show off.

Or perhaps, the Corpse Kings themselves cannot actually sense each other's auras, and only Fu Yan can do so.

He didn't doubt Fu Yan; Fu Yan probably didn't even realize that he was different from the other Corpse Kings in this respect.

At the same time, Wenren Lei was also worried that Fu Yan might encounter some difficulties and insist on bearing them all by himself.

"What are you thinking about?" Fu Yan noticed that he was lost in thought.

Wenren Lei snapped out of her daze, leaned into Fu Yan's arms, and buried her face in his stomach: "I'm a little sleepy."

Fu Yan picked him up and sat him down in the chair: "Take a nap."

"Mmm." Wenren Lei snuggled gently against him.

Not long after, the A1-V parked the car outside the gate of the Yuntu Base.

Inside the carriage, everyone was organizing their gear, preparing to disembark.

Fu Yan gently woke the person in his arms: "Sweetie, we're here."

Wenren Lei slowly opened her eyes, was stunned for a moment, got up and walked to the car window to look at the outline of the base. She said with a worried expression, "Oh dear, let a few flies in to check the situation."

"Received. Five miniature reconnaissance drones have been dispatched, and real-time footage is being transmitted back."

The monitoring footage was somewhat shaky due to the wind and snow, but the interior of the base was still clearly visible.

There were still quite a few people moving around in the Cloud Map Base.

Residents, in groups of five, helped each other as they stood guard on the street clearing snow. Stronger residents bent over to guide others who were going out.

A small fly flew into the planting area, and the Cloud Map Base sent three more fire elemental ability users to this area. The crops in the field are growing quite well.

Wenren Lei tilted her head: "Everything seems normal, but it's stranger that it seems normal."

Fu Yan placed a thick woolen hat on his head: "Go inside and take a look."

Everyone got off the car one after another. Fu Yan put the A1-V into his spatial storage, and the group walked towards the base gate.

Wen Chi held a piece of Ding Sheng Gao (a type of sweet rice cake) in his hand, leaned close to Wenren Lei, and said with a cynical look, "I've done some calculations, and I know you're very anxious."

Wenren Lei snorted coldly and strode forward: "You, Grandpa Wenren, are never afraid."

"I was talking about anxiety." Wen Chi suddenly paused for a moment, shoved the glutinous rice cake to Han Mingjie, and quickly caught up with Wenren Lei, demanding, "You're the boss? Then what am I, the young master??"

Wenren Lei laughed out loud, his whole demeanor extremely arrogant: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it, I've been a big shot since I was a child."

"That's too arrogant. No way. From now on, I'm Master Wen Chi."

"So incredibly tacky."

"Who...?"
