Silence.
The sound of dripping water on the floor was amplified infinitely.
Zhou Xuan calculated the time and chose another place to move himself.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, he came face-to-face with a pale face.
"Holy crap!"
"Are you human or ghost?"
Zhou Xuan was still shaken.
Even with his divine powers, a person could die from being startled.
After a long while.
There was no echo.
Zhou Xuan then carefully examined the eerie face before him.
And what he saw was shocking.
He was face-to-face with this corpse, and less than ten centimeters away from him, were frozen bodies completely unclothed!
As far as the eye could see.
This entire floor was a place for storing bodies.
A faint medicinal smell permeated the air.
It was the smell of formalin.
Zhou Xuan covered his mouth in disgust.
"What kind of place is this? Why did I end up here after changing locations?"
He tried to find any commonality among these corpses.
But after looking for a long time, he found all sorts of them.
Men, women, old, young, all kinds of human genetics were present.
"Strange, what are these people researching? Where did they come from?"
Zhou Xuan suspected that most of the missing beggars and missing persons were here.
But the problem was that he didn't see any familiar faces.
He wondered if he hadn't looked closely enough.
This place was vast, over a thousand square meters.
With this pace of research, it would take a considerable amount of time.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed so many people.
He was somewhat disappointed and wanted to find an exit to leave.
The room was very cold to accommodate the ice.
Strangely, they had deliberately placed all the corpses standing upright.
Was there a reason for this?
Zhou Xuan examined their bodies and found that they almost all lacked complete limbs.
A piece was missing here, a part was gone there.
Needle marks on their bodies could be vaguely discerned.
Some fresh ones even looked no different from living people.
And quite a lot of drugs were placed, making it difficult to breathe.
However, he did feel a surge of warmth, as if there was a thin mist outside.
He tried to walk out and found that the door was not closed.
After he walked out, he discovered that this place was built from a derelict factory. There were high walls all around, and no roads.
And inside the factory, bodies were piled up, stretching as far as the eye could see.
He tried to run further out and found that there was also an iron fence.
"What on earth is going on?"
He wondered if he had ended up far from the laboratory again.
Or was he somewhere underground in the laboratory?
No, if he were locked up again, even if he escaped, he wouldn't have escaped to a place like this.
Then what had happened?
Zhou Xuan couldn't figure it out, but he knew he had to leave immediately.
"No matter what, I need to leave first!"
Thinking this, Zhou Xuan immediately ran towards the distance.
But after only a few steps, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded from behind him.
He was startled and turned his head.
He saw that those people had reappeared.
The corpses he had seen earlier were indeed problematic.
Now they had all walked out of that room.
This time, the number was even larger.
Over a hundred zombies, armed, exuding an imposing aura.
"Who are these people? How did they end up here?"
Zhou Xuan was completely bewildered, looking at the dark mass of zombies.
He recalled what had happened before and understood what the old woman had said.
These were not zombies, but stiffened corpses controlled by drugs.
Zhou Xuan didn't think these things could attack him to such an extent.
He turned to find another passage to search for the true location of the laboratory.
The things behind him stared at him without blinking.
Wherever he moved, they moved.
In his haste, Zhou Xuan worried that the movement of these things would attract those people again.
With keen eyes, he spotted a handbrake next to the door.
It was likely a door switch.
He couldn't care less.
He directly pulled the handbrake down.
Suddenly, a stone door began to move slowly with a rumbling sound.
"Such a bizarre location choice, truly a genius. If it hadn't moved, I wouldn't have known there was a stone door here."
Zhou Xuan muttered as he quietly approached.
Seeing the stone door opened, these stiff corpses all slowly turned around.
But their movements were very stiff.
Zhou Xuan understood.
There must be an expert inside.
And he could also control corpses.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan's heart tightened.
If he encountered a powerful individual, he might perish here.
That wouldn't be worth it!
Without delay.
Zhou Xuan took out his backpack, retrieved a pen and some talismans.
He could confirm that he had never met this person before.
If the other party truly possessed corpse-controlling techniques, or was at a higher level than him, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
Zhou Xuan extinguished his lighter, put it in his pocket, and slowly walked towards the stone door, cautiously observing his surroundings.
Suddenly!
As Zhou Xuan approached, a beam of light suddenly emanated from the stone door.
This is...
Zhou Xuan's expression changed drastically.
What's going on?
Why did light suddenly appear here?
"Bang!"
The light on the stone door grew brighter and brighter.
Zhou Xuan's face turned even paler.
He didn't think twice and turned to run.
But after just two steps, he felt a powerful force impact him, sending his shoulder flying and crashing against the wall.
Instantly, Zhou Xuan felt as if all his bones had shattered.
"So powerful!"
Zhou Xuan gritted his teeth and stood up again.
This time, Zhou Xuan didn't act rashly. Instead, he first observed his surroundings, and after finding no other danger, he dared to proceed.
But when Zhou Xuan stepped towards the stone door again, the light had already disappeared.
Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart remained on edge, and he continued to advance cautiously.
Finally, Zhou Xuan saw what appeared to be an iron door ahead, with strange patterns drawn on it, but no markings.
"What is this?"
Cautiously, he slowly approached the iron door.
When he walked in, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
This was simply a magnificent and resplendent hall!
"Holy cow! This is too opulent!"
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
In the center of the hall, there was a finely carved Huang Li wood table, covered with golden figurines of various rare and exotic beasts, a feast for the eyes.
The pure gold divine statues were surrounded by gold bars and candles.
And on a chair next to the table sat an old man.
He was wearing a peculiar black robe, with his hair disheveled, and his appearance was unclear.
Zhou Xuan cautiously approached, but did not act rashly, choosing to observe the situation.
Because he was unsure of the identity of this peculiar old man.
But looking at the luxurious and opulent decoration here, he guessed that it must be someone with extremely high cultivation.
