Outside the monster's prison cell, two men shuddered.
Indeed, the reason they came to work for Chen Hu was because he had the "Energy Water Drop."
This energy supplement, now extremely rare in the entire apocalypse, was indispensable for every Superpower User.
Moreover, they couldn't decide anything, after all, Chen Hu had already amassed a large group of Superpower Users.
If they didn't listen to Chen Hu, they couldn't guarantee what he would do to them.
So the two immediately threw the barely alive medical expert into Old Mrs. Chen's prison cell.
With hairs standing on end, they listened to the sound of the Beast chewing in the cell and then looked at Chen Hu.
Chen Hu turned his head away, seemingly unwilling to see this side of his own mother.
After Chen Hu had walked far away, the two men outside quietly talked to each other,
"This is just sick and twisted, who in their right mind would keep a monster?"
"It's too terrifying and extreme, I wouldn't be in such a twisted place if not for that little bit of 'Energy Water Drop.'"
The man beside whispered, lowering his voice,
"Did you hear what the medical expert said? He mentioned that the Zombie Crystal Core contains energy that can replenish a Superpower User's superpowers."
"But that energy is very chaotic, and once absorbed, it's easy to turn into a monster like Old Mrs. Chen."
"That's terrifying, it looks like we still can't directly use the Zombie Crystal Core to replenish our energy..."
The two whispered in the dark corridor.
Unbeknownst to them, every word had been overheard by Chen Hu.
His expression twisted, he hid in the shadows like a demon, eyeing the two men with a sinister gaze.
Very well, these two men dared to conspire against him and his mother behind their backs, utterly unforgivable.
Then, the next sacrifice for his mother would be these two men.
Anyone who tried to leak information or harm his mother deserved no forgiveness.
Chen Hu turned and walked into the darkness.
Perhaps knowing that Lin Zhigang and his whereabouts were not far from F City, Chen Hu became particularly impatient the next day and called Lin Zhigang.
He inquired about Lin Zhigang's progress.
Lin Zhigang sneered over the phone,
"My abilities are limited, I can't walk much further, and you know it." Fınd the newest release on noⅴelfire.net
"Carrying a child, I can't fly to your F City."
"If you're really worried, send a team with my father to pick me up in the Zombie Tide."
Chen Hu cursed under his breath and hung up.
Gradually, he grew somewhat helpless regarding Lin Zhigang, after all, the child was in Lin Zhigang's hands.
The more Chen Hu wanted the child, the more he could only wait, no matter how anxious.
And what Chen Hu did not expect was that he had always assumed Lin Zhigang, with Hua Mi and Gong Yi's child, was still inside the Zombie Tide.
But after hanging up the phone, Lin Zhigang looked at the gates of F City with profound emotion.
His voice trembled as he remembered how different this gate had been when he left F City.
In such a short time, just a year, that imposing gate had already become so dilapidated.
If not for growing up here, Lin Zhigang wouldn't recognize this as the gate of F City at all.
With tears in his eyes, Lin Zhigang sat in the RV, watching the surging Mutated Beast Tide outside.
Behind him, Hua Mi frowned and asked,
"Why are there so many Mutant Beasts outside F City?"
The mutants here looked different from those outside the medium-sized safe zone.
Near the medium-sized safe zone, the Mutant Beasts still resembled humans, whereas F City's were quadripedal and appeared like humans with tails, crawling on the ground.
And aside from Mutant Beasts, not a single person was in sight.
An ominous premonition swept over Lin Zhigang.
He hurriedly took out his phone to call Chen Hu.
But as he lifted his hand, Gong Yi pushed it down.
Lin Zhigang turned to Gong Yi, who said in a grave voice, "F City has fallen, drive the car forward to take a look."
Lin Zhigang couldn't believe it and repeated,
"F City has fallen? When did this happen?"
In his memory, he'd left F City a long time ago.
Probably at the onset of the first disaster, when Xiang City needed medical rescue, Lin Zhigang had packed his bags and rushed from F City to Xiang City.
And that one rescue had kept him in Xiang City ever since.
When he had left, F City was still massive, and there were many survivors, some of whom even lived outside the city.
But now Gong Yi was telling him,
"F City has fallen, and his father had never mentioned this over the phone."
Ever time Lin Zhigang called his father, his father always reported only the good news.
But no matter how much he avoided worrying him, it couldn't have led F City to decay to this state.
Where did this place even resemble a city?
There were no survivors, more like entering Jurassic Park.
Lin Zhigang drove on, and the fast Mutant Beasts charged one after another.
Before even hitting the RV, they fell to the ground mid-charge.
Gong Yi now used his spiritual power to kill the Mutant Beasts in a very clean and efficient manner.
Rather than making a bloody mess of the Mutant Beasts, he simply extracted the Crystal Cores straight from their brains, without a trace of blood.
Once the Mutant Beasts lost their Crystal Cores from their brains, their bodies lost energy and died.
So, one after another, the Mutant Beasts collapsed and, in no time, behind the RV lay a vast expanse of ugly and disgusting fallen beasts.
Among these cleanly fallen Mutant Beasts, there were also a few that died in various bizarre ways.
Some had their heads twisted several 360-degree pretzels, some looked as if they'd been molded like playdough by a child into a ball.
Others were pinched into triangles, squares, or laid out in a 'big' character, or even posed as a statue of David, and so forth...
The number of Mutant Beasts dying in these comical positions wasn't high.
But after several such strangely-shaped deaths occurred, Gong Yi took note.
He leaned in the RV and watched with a pensive look, as the elder brother lay on the small bed with round, wide eyes, intently watching the beasts outside the window.
