"No!"

Shanzi shook his head again, but after thinking for a moment, he added, "Those whose brains were destroyed and died, besides Li Ge, were those killed by the snipers. Their heads were completely blown apart, so..."

"Mm!"

Li Chenzhou nodded, then stood up and looked in the direction the gunman had been in. It seemed that Wang Li's transformation into a zombie was the sniper's doing.

"Grizzly, what did Qinglang say? What exactly is that sniper?"

Li Chenzhou turned to Grizzly again. He hadn't had time to report the results of the interrogation before Shanzi interrupted him.

"He didn't say anything useful!"

Grizzly shook his head with a wry smile. "I didn't expect this guy to be such a tough character. Before I even had a chance to use torture, he said a few words to me, and then, I don't know how he did it, but he turned into a zombie!"

"What?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned and quickly asked, "Then where is he now?"

"Still inside!"

Grizzly pointed to the room he used to interrogate Qinglang. "He's tied up, and his mutation is a bit strange, so I didn't kill him. Maybe you want to take a look at him?"

"Let's go!"

Without another word, Li Chenzhou led the way to the room. Grizzly quickly followed behind him. Shanzi looked at Wang Li's body, then at the two men, and chased after them.

"Roar!"

Qinglang had indeed mutated. As soon as Li Chenzhou entered the room, he heard his roar.

"Tell me in detail the process of him turning into a zombie!"

Li Chenzhou said, looking at Qinglang, who was struggling and roaring at him, his face contorted.

"There was no process!"

Grizzly shook his head gently. "He just mutated suddenly. One moment he was talking to me, the next his face suddenly changed like this, and he became a zombie! There was no death process at all!"

After thinking for a moment, Grizzly added, "And he was tied to a chair, so it was impossible for him to commit suicide!"

"No mutation process?"

Li Chenzhou frowned.

To become a zombie, one must first experience death. In other words, zombies are transformed from corpses. This is common knowledge.

Even those who are bitten, although the zombie virus will gradually devour the cells in their body, and may even cause their skin to change color, as long as they have not breathed their last, they will still retain human consciousness. Only after death will they stand up again. At that time, they will be considered to have completely changed their allegiance and truly become zombies.

"Boss, Qinglang said a few words to me before he died..."

Grizzly hesitated, looking at Li Chenzhou's solemn expression.

"What did he say?"

Li Chenzhou looked up at Grizzly and asked.

"He said..."

Grizzly hesitated, and looked at Shanzi on the side, "Shanzi, if you hear his words, it might be a blow to you. Are you sure you want to listen?"

"The world has become like this. Do I still care about a blow?"

Shanzi smiled bitterly and said, "Tell me! If it wasn't for Li Ge, I would already be dead. Every minute I live now is a bonus, so I'm not even afraid of death. What else would I be afraid of?"

"Alright!"

Grizzly nodded, then looked at Li Chenzhou. "Qinglang said that based on our strength, we and him should just be pawns of those guys, and gaining more power is just helping them fight each other.

"Although this is the human world, it has become a battlefield for those guys. No matter who wins or loses, the fate of humanity is already sealed, either extinction, or... becoming livestock raised by them...

"He also said that the power of those guys is beyond our imagination. No matter how strong we become, we are still under their control. Therefore, Qinglang doesn't care about death at all. In his words, either die, or live as a dog, there's not much difference.

"Then, he smiled at me and said, 'I'm leaving first. I think it won't be long before you will meet the same end as me!' After he finished speaking, he... turned into a zombie!"

"Those guys? He didn't say what those guys are?"

Li Chenzhou asked.

"No!"

Grizzly shook his head. "Maybe... it's not that he didn't say, but he didn't know himself. But from his words, we can infer that the guys he was talking about should be at least two camps, and they are hostile to each other!"

"So, Qinglang's abilities, and those poles and corpses, including that sniper, are all the work of those guys?"

Li Chenzhou murmured, looking at Qinglang. Then he pulled out his dagger and stabbed it directly into Qinglang's head, ending his life.

He glanced at his kill points. Killing Qinglang had directly increased his kill points by five hundred, which was already the value of an evolution potion.

Looking at Qinglang's corpse, Li Chenzhou suddenly had an idea. He directly used his dagger to break open Qinglang's skull, stirred it around in the brain a few times, and actually picked out a crystal core from inside—a mutation crystal core, which only enhanced zombies have.

Qinglang was an evolver before, and it was not surprising that he became an enhanced zombie after death. But the problem is that ordinary evolvers who are infected and die and become zombies do not have mutation crystal cores in their brains.

This had been verified countless times in his previous life. Unless the mutated zombie had lived for a long time, and even improved its evolution level again, a mutated crystal core would be born in its head.

But Qinglang had only just mutated, and had not killed any creatures, so he had no chance to devour the energy of the hell silk. How could there still be a mutated crystal core in his brain?

Could it be... that this crystal core already existed when he was alive?

Li Chenzhou couldn't help but think of a possibility. Then he suddenly turned around and rushed out, came to Wang Li's corpse, and raised his dagger again.

"What are you doing?"

Shanzi also followed, and was shocked when he saw this, and quickly asked.

"I want to see if there is a mutated crystal core in his brain!"

Li Chenzhou said, "If there is, it means that his mutation is the same as Qinglang's mutation. In other words, the guy behind Qinglang has the ability to turn humans directly into zombies!

"In addition, if I really find a mutated crystal core in his brain, I also need to check his stomach to see if he... has eaten human corpses!"

"Brother! I know Wang Li saved you, and you can't bear to see his body destroyed, but now, we must determine the abilities of our enemies, understand?"

Grizzly grabbed Shanzi's shoulder and said, "You heard it just now, our enemies may not be zombies, let alone humans, but other creatures. This apocalypse may have been created by them. If we humans want to survive and take back our world, the first thing we have to do is to figure out who our enemies are and what their abilities are!!!"

Hearing Grizzly's words, and looking at Li Chenzhou again, Shanzi finally let out a sigh, then closed his eyes, and Li Chenzhou directly inserted the dagger along the wound on the top of Wang Li's head, and forcefully pried open his skull...
