"If it weren't for you, all of us old bones would have gone to see the King of Hell."

However, just as the plague was slowly regaining its strength, several nearby safe camps could no longer sit still.

Originally they avoided the safe camp, but now that they saw the shadow of death was dissipating, the jealousy and fear in their hearts became even stronger.

"No, we can't let those plague ghosts survive!" A gloomy middle-aged man shouted loudly at the survivors' meeting, "They are a threat to us if they are alive!"

"That's right! We must get rid of them!" someone in the crowd echoed.

These survivors do not know that their fear and hatred are being exploited by a mysterious shadowy organization.

The organization manipulates the emotions of survivors by spreading rumors and creating panic, but its purpose is unknown.

Under the instigation of the Shadow Organization, the survivors of several safe camps united and decided to solve the problem in the most extreme way - setting fire to everyone in the plague safe camp.

"We will act tonight!" the middle-aged man in the lead said fiercely, "Take advantage of the night to burn all those damn plague ghosts to death!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, but no one noticed the strange smile on the mysterious man's face in the corner.

As night fell, Lillian was distributing medicine to the survivors.

Suddenly, shouts and the light of torches were heard in the distance.

"Oh no! Chief, someone is going to attack us!" A young man came running over in panic to report the news.

The leader's face changed drastically. "Quick! Everyone, hide in the cave! Lillian, you should leave too!"

At this critical moment, the enraged survivors had surrounded the safe camp, and the light of the torches illuminated half of the sky. Lillian looked at this terrible scene, her heart filled with despair and confusion.

(Why did it turn out like this? We were almost recovered...) Lillian bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Chapter 544 Resistance

Just then, a familiar figure appeared in front of her. It was Zhang Chen!

"Lillian, come with me! I know a secret passage!" Zhang Chen grabbed Lillian's hand and ran towards the forest behind the safe camp.

Behind them, the angry survivors had started setting fires, and the raging flames quickly engulfed the houses in the safe camp.

Screams and cries were heard one after another, and the scene was in chaos.

Zhang Chen pulled Lillian and ran in the dark forest, with the pursuers getting closer and closer behind them.

They could hear shouts coming from behind them: "Don't let them get away! Burn these plague ghosts!"

While Zhang Chen was running away, he suddenly realized something was wrong. (This is a safe camp, how could anyone dare to openly attack?)

The safe camp is a shelter jointly designated by major nearby forces to accommodate vulnerable groups such as patients and refugees.

Logically speaking, even those with superpowers would not dare to cause trouble here easily, otherwise they would face joint sanctions from all major forces.

Unless...someone deliberately stirs up trouble.

"Lillian," Zhang Chen stopped and turned to the girl behind him and said, "We can't just run away like this. Those survivors may be controlled by someone."

Lillian looked at Zhang Chen in surprise, "But...what should we do?"

Zhang Chen took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "We must fight back."

He quickly gathered some survivors who were in better physical condition and briefly explained the situation.

Although these survivors were still sick, their eyes were filled with fighting spirit after hearing Zhang Chen's analysis.

"Brothers, we can't just sit there and wait for death!" Zhang Chen shouted, "Follow me!"

After saying that, Zhang Chen led the group to rush towards the attacking survivors.

During the charge, Zhang Chen felt a strange energy surging in his body. (Is this...divine power?)

Before he could think about it, the energy exploded uncontrollably.

A dazzling golden light burst out from Zhang Chen's body, instantly covering the entire battlefield.

"Ah!" "What is this!" "My eyes!"

The survivors of the attack screamed, some covered their eyes, and some fell to their knees.

Zhang Chen's divine power not only dispelled them, but also seemed to dispel the haze that shrouded their hearts.

"I...what are we doing?" a survivor asked blankly.

"Oh my God, we almost made a big mistake!" said another survivor regretfully.

At this moment, Zhang Chen keenly noticed a sneaky figure in the crowd who was about to escape.

"Catch him!" Zhang Chen shouted, and several survivors immediately pounced on him.

Although the man struggled desperately, he was outnumbered and was quickly subdued.

"Tell me! Who ordered you to attack the security camp?" Zhang Chen asked sternly.

However, before the man could speak, his face suddenly turned pale.

"You...don't even think about...succeed..." He uttered these words with difficulty, then foamed at the mouth and his body began to twitch violently.

"Not good!" Zhang Chen hurried forward to check, but it was too late.

The man's life force quickly disappeared, and the light in his eyes gradually went out.

Zhang Chen stared at the corpse on the ground, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

(This little trick can't stop a god like me.) He thought to himself, then stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the dead man's forehead.

In an instant, a strange energy surged out of Zhang Chen's body and wrapped around the dead body like fine silver threads.

Lillian and the survivors around her looked at this scene in surprise, not understanding what Zhang Chen was doing.

"Quiet, I need to concentrate."

Zhang Chen whispered, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was concentrating on some mysterious ritual.

As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Zhang Chen's forehead and his face turned pale.

But he still maintained that posture, as if he had established some strange connection with the dead.

Suddenly, Zhang Chen opened his eyes abruptly and took a breath of cold air.

He staggered back a few steps, but fortunately Lillian caught him in time.

"Zhang Chen, are you okay?" Lillian asked worriedly.

Zhang Chen shook his head, and after calming down his breathing, his expression became extremely serious. "I saw... the terrible truth."

It turned out that the deceased was an employee of a secret organization called "Biochemical Laboratory".

This laboratory belongs to a mysterious force called "Shadow Organization".

They were sent to this remote security camp to spread a new type of poison and observe its effects.

"This is not a plague at all. They are clearly experimenting on innocent survivors!" Zhang Chen said angrily, his fists clenched unconsciously.

From the memories of the deceased, Zhang Chen saw the cold instruments in the laboratory and heard the painful cries of the victims.

They tested the effects of poisons in all sorts of horrific ways, with absolutely no regard for human life.

"They...how could they do this?" After listening to Zhang Chen's narration, Lillian's eyes were filled with tears and her voice trembled.

The survivors around were also terrified, and some even started vomiting.

They couldn't believe that they had become victims of such a cruel experiment.

Zhang Chen took a deep breath and looked around. "Everyone, I know this truth is cruel, but we can't give up."

"Now at least we know who the enemy is. Next we have to find a way to stop their conspiracy."

"But...what should we do?" a survivor asked timidly.

A hint of determination flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes, "First of all, we have to cure everyone as soon as possible."

"Lillian, do you have any idea to develop an antidote?"

Lillian thought for a moment and nodded, "If I can find a sample of the poison they used, I should be able to give it a try."

"Okay," Zhang Chen said, "Secondly, we need to strengthen our defenses to prevent the Shadow Organization from infiltrating again."

"Finally..." His voice became low and dangerous.

"We must fight back, expose their crimes, and make them pay the price."

In the darkness of the night, Zhang Chen's eyes were like burning flames, illuminating the hearts of those around him.

Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, at this moment, everyone feels the power of hope.

"Come with me," Zhang Chen said, "We still have a lot to do."

As the night deepened, Zhang Chen led Lillian and a group of survivors back to the safety camp center.

The moonlight shines on the ruins, reflecting a desolate scene.

However, amidst the ruins, a spark of hope was ignited.

"We need a temporary command center,"

Zhang Chen looked around and finally fixed his sights on a relatively intact stone house. "That's it."

Everyone acted quickly and cleared an area as a temporary base.

Chapter 545 Poison Sample

Lillian immediately set about organizing her medical supplies and preparing to create an antidote.

"Zhang Chen," Lillian said as she worked, "I need more herbs and utensils."

"If possible, I also want to find a sample of the poison used by that shadow organization."

Zhang Chen nodded, "I understand. I will organize some people to search."

He turned to the other survivors and said, "I need a few agile people to search for traces left by the attackers to see if they can find anything useful."

Several young and strong survivors immediately volunteered.

Zhang Chen gave them a few brief instructions and let them set off.

"And more," Zhang Chen continued.

"We need to strengthen our defenses. Although the attackers have been temporarily dispersed, who knows if they will come back again?"

An elderly survivor stepped forward. “I used to be a carpenter. Maybe I can help set up some simple traps and roadblocks.”

"Great," Zhang Chen said approvingly, "Please lead some people to do this. Remember, be careful and don't expose our actions."

As the work was carried out in an orderly manner, Zhang Chen felt a wave of fatigue coming over him.

Zhang Chen leaned against the rough stone wall and closed his eyes to rest.

The cool night breeze brushed across his cheek, bringing a hint of freshness.

Just then, he felt a faint fragrance wafting over, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps.

At this moment, he felt someone gently touch his arm.

The touch was soft and warm, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Zhang Chen opened his eyes and found Lillian standing in front of him.

Lillian's white robe became a little messy because of the previous battle. The collar was slightly open, revealing a section of her snow-white collarbone.

Her long hair was slightly wet with sweat and stuck to her neck, making her look even more charming.

There was concern and a hint of barely perceptible shyness in those emerald green eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed and her lips were slightly pursed, as if she was hesitating about something.

Her slender fingers twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously, and she seemed a little uneasy.

"Zhang... Zhang Chen," Lillian called softly, her voice as sweet as a spring, but with a hint of trembling, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Chen smiled slightly and was about to answer when he saw Lillian suddenly squat down.

She held a bowl of fragrant medicine in her hand and handed it to Zhang Chen carefully.

This action caused Lillian's skirt to lift slightly, revealing a section of her snow-white, slender thighs.

In the moonlight, the smooth skin seemed to be glowing, and the lines were so beautiful that they seemed like a masterpiece of nature.
