“What? You’ve seen this before?”

Grizzly was shocked and quickly asked. Li Chenzhou couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could guess the general meaning from Nicholas's expression and movements.

However, since Grizzly had already spoken, Li Chenzhou remained silent and simply watched them.

“I should say… I haven’t seen it with my own eyes! I’ve seen a photo of it!”

Nicholas said, “My teacher once showed me a photo. The photo was of a biological fossil. If you look at the reconstruction, the creature’s arm should look like this!”

“Boss, he said…”

Grizzly was shocked when he heard this. He knew the origin of the arm, so he quickly told Li Chenzhou what Nicholas had said.

“Biological fossil?”

Li Chenzhou was stunned. He looked at the arm in his hand. To become a fossil, it would take at least millions of years, or even longer.

“The important thing is, can you, like that madman, kill the Devourer… We used to wipe out Devourers… Even my students have done so…”

Li Chenzhou suddenly remembered what Instructor Li Yingning had once said.

The Devourer fossil, combined with the instructor’s words, seemed to prove that Devourers had appeared on this planet before, and they had been wiped out.

What era was that? Tens of thousands of years ago? What exactly happened on this planet? And why are the Devourers always able to come here?

Li Chenzhou looked at the Devourer arm in his hand, his face solemn. Just then, he suddenly made a new discovery—on the outside of the Devourer's arm, there was a string of numbers: 17-0005.

“17, dash, 0005? Is this… a number?”

Li Chenzhou muttered to himself. He remembered that Li Yingning had indeed said that this was Hunting Ground 17!

So, this Devourer is Number Five from Hunting Ground 17?

Judging by the number of digits in this code, the number of Devourers on their planet may have reached thousands!

One Devourer is so difficult to deal with, thousands of Devourers…

However, judging from the situation, these Devourers should not all be together. Maybe there is one in each city!

What is their purpose? Is it just to create more powerful zombies?

“Grizzly, ask Nicholas if he can still find that picture from back then. Also, ask for more information about that fossil!”

Li Chenzhou turned to look at Grizzly. Grizzly nodded quickly and then whispered something to Nicholas.

As for Li Chenzhou, he was organizing all the survivors to prepare to leave. There was nothing else to do here for the time being. He needed to quickly resolve the issues in the town and then prepare to gather people and go home.

Along the way, Grizzly kept communicating with Nicholas. Li Chenzhou didn’t bother them, but quietly thought to himself.

Combining what the Devourer had said before with the instructor’s words, Li Chenzhou could roughly draw a conclusion: the planet they were on was actually a hunting ground for the Devourers.

Every certain period of time, perhaps hundreds of years, perhaps tens of thousands or even millions of years, the Devourers would come here to hunt. This is why this place is called Hunting Ground 17.

Also, since there is a Number 17, there must also be Numbers 16, 15, and so on. In other words, the Devourers’ prey is not just their planet!

From this, it seems that the Devourer race's technology is quite advanced. Even if their planet is just the last hunting ground, the Devourers must have mastered the coordinates of at least 16 other planets with intelligent life!

Their planet's technology is not yet capable of space travel. The farthest they've gone is a trip to their satellite, the moon. As for other intelligent planets, they haven't discovered any!

It's conceivable how big the gap is between the two, probably similar to the gap between the Stone Age and modern technology!

Thinking about it, it's about the same. At least the fossil proves that the Devourers have existed for millions or even tens of millions of years. The technology of a race that has developed for such a long time is self-evident!

However, Li Yingning said that they had killed Devourers. Although he doesn't know how they killed the Devourers yet, it at least gives Li Chenzhou hope—the instructor and his students have all killed Devourers, so why can't he?

Moreover, at least Li Chenzhou has already killed one Devourer now. Although that guy might have escaped, at least he left an arm behind. This can at least be considered a small victory!

Lost in thought, Li Chenzhou and the others finally returned to the town. On the way back, they didn't collect any supplies. In fact, with the strength of their team, they could have easily collected a large amount of supplies, but what had happened earlier made Li Chenzhou reluctant to care about the base in the town.

Previously, Li Chenzhou really wanted to help James and the others, not only for his warship, but also to allow the humans here to develop.

Although he might not come back here in the future, James and the others are still human after all. It's better for them to develop than for the zombies to grow stronger, right?

When Li Chenzhou and the others arrived, James and the others had already returned. Almost everyone in the city had come to Henry Town.

This town couldn't accommodate so many people, but James was already expanding the town. Moreover, they were constantly building houses and even specially assigned many people to cut down trees!

Building houses here mostly uses wooden boards, so it is much more convenient than on Li Chenzhou's side. Moreover, the people here like to do their own repairs and renovations, so they are quite skilled at building houses!

James already knew what had happened before. He was quite angry about it, because when he drove Carl and the others away before, he saw the murderous intent in Li Chenzhou's eyes and knew that Li Chenzhou had no intention of letting them go.

Letting them leave alive was naturally Li Chenzhou giving him face!

But now, the people he had driven away had returned to the town again and instigated others to create trouble for Li Chenzhou, which James couldn't tolerate.

He originally wanted to kill Carl directly, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait for Li Chenzhou to come back and let him do it himself!

In addition, James also investigated and found all the people who had planned to participate in intercepting Li Chenzhou, intending to give Li Chenzhou an explanation…
