What could possibly be at the very bottom of this gentle slope?

Although the giant infected has been eliminated and no other strange sounds have been heard since, it doesn't mean there's no danger. They still need to proceed cautiously.

The density of the red fog was unimaginable, but paradoxically, visibility improved considerably.

Old Zhang was extremely weak at this moment. His body was trembling violently and his face was pale. Sun Muchen suggested that he wait by the car, but Old Zhang refused. He insisted on going down into the depths to find out what was going on.

Wang Lan unconsciously glanced at him a couple more times, then asked Sun Muchen to help him up.

The road ahead was still unknown, but more and more corpses appeared on the damp ground. Some were only half-dead, while others were whole. Regardless of the type of corpse, the muscle tissue had turned into dried meat, making it impossible to see the face. The clothes on these corpses were also tattered. Only some could be vaguely seen as the style of the final fortress combat uniforms, while the rest gave the impression of civilians in rags.

Although the red mist smelled strongly of blood, it did not have the putrid stench of infected people, suggesting that these corpses were not infected, but ordinary humans.

But why would a body be here?

Wang Lan was puzzled.

After walking for a while, the group noticed that the yellow earth beneath their feet was gradually turning red, as if it had been stained with blood. Their expressions also became solemn, and each of them knew in their hearts that they were probably about to reach the bottom.

The number of corpses was increasing, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer. As far as the eye could see, it gave the three of them the feeling of corpses strewn everywhere. Old Zhang felt that he was exhausted and could not hold on after taking a few more steps.

He plopped down on the ground and said, "You guys continue, I'll wait for you here."

Seeing that he was covered in sweat, Wang Lan nodded and told him to rest. At this moment, Sun Muchen patted him, and Wang Lan turned to ask, "What's wrong?"

Sun Muchen seemed dumbfounded at this moment. He blinked a few times at Wang Lan, then pointed ahead and said, "Brother... I don't know if I'm seeing things. Look over there."

Wang Lan had been looking at the corpses on the ground and hadn't noticed what was in front of her. Now, after hearing what Sun Muchen said, she turned her head and looked over.

The next moment, Wang Lan's expression changed drastically, and she gasped sharply.

He considered himself to have seen many grand scenes, especially what he had experienced in the last few days, which kept refreshing his worldview. But no matter how dense the swarm of rats or how oppressive the wolf pack was, no scene was as shocking or terrifying as what he was seeing now!

Before them lay a mountain of corpses!

It's hard to imagine how many corpses it would take to pile up such a high mountain.

This mountain of corpses is at least ten meters high, and you can't see the top at a glance. However, the horrific state of the corpses in the mountain is still vivid in people's minds. Each dead person's head has its mouth wide open, as if they have experienced some great pain and panic before they died. At the foot of the mountain of corpses, a large amount of blood that has turned black has accumulated there, forming a huge pool of blood.

Wang Lan frowned and walked forward.

But Sun Muchen grabbed him, "Brother! What are you doing?"

Wang Lan glanced back at him, then pointed to the mountain of corpses and said, "Look in that direction, that corpse, doesn't it look familiar?"

Upon hearing this, not only Sun Muchen, but even Old Zhang looked over as well.

However, there were simply too many corpses in this mountain of corpses. Although most of them were already rotten beyond recognition, finding a single person among the identifiable heads was like finding a needle in a haystack, or even harder than climbing to the heavens. Sun Muchen stared for a long time, then suddenly paused, exclaiming in surprise and wonder, "Brother, why do I think I saw Wang Ming in there?"

Wang Lan was taken aback.

Sun Muchen rubbed his eyes and confirmed again: "That's right, it's that scoundrel Wang Ming!"

The brother and sister knew this person very well.

Wang Ming is a hunter, and he is very cunning. Last year during the Eternal Night, Aunt Yang fought off the hunters who came to kill her in order to protect Wang Lan and Sun Muchen, but she was also seriously injured. She was planning to pack her things and go to the cave to hide, but she was ambushed by Wang Ming, who killed her and robbed her. As a result, Wang Ming survived and then entered the final fortress.

He had always been someone Wang Lan wanted to kill, but who would have thought that his body would appear here.

Old Zhang then said, "I...I think I also saw Hong Cheng!"

Sun Muchen exclaimed in surprise: "Oh! There's Er Gou too!"

"And Pang Yi too!"

The more they looked, the more familiar they became with the people, including civilians who had been selected to live in the final fortress. But why were their corpses inexplicably appearing here?

"Brother, do I think I'm seeing things? Why am I seeing several Wang Mings?"

"No, you don't seem to be seeing things," Old Zhang said in surprise, rubbing his eyes repeatedly. "I think I've seen several similar heads too."

Wang Lan's face was full of disbelief. In fact, not only Sun Muchen and Lao Zhang, but he also felt that he saw several identical people.

"You all wait here, I'll go and take a look myself."

Wang Lan said a few words and walked away.

As he got closer to the mountain of corpses, his vision was filled with bodies. When he was very close to the mountain, several corpses suddenly rolled down from it and fell into a pool of blood. Judging from how soft the bodies were, they seemed to have just died.

Wang Lan opened the Vajra Umbrella to block the splattering blood and walked over to look at the several corpses that had fallen.

Goodness.

It was actually Wang Ming.

They're even wearing the same clothes and have the same faces!

Did we stir up trouble at Wang Ming's headquarters?

Wang Lan went back and explained the situation to Sun Muchen and Lao Zhang, "It seems that none of us were wrong. There are indeed many identical people on this mountain of corpses. Can you imagine? They are exactly the same!"

"But how can they be exactly the same?" Old Zhang said in surprise. "Even twins shouldn't be completely identical."

Wang Lan was completely baffled and looked at Sun Muchen.

"You forgot, bro, I'm bad at biology..."

Wang Lan: "......"

The final fortress must be hiding some unspeakable secret that civilians in the safe zone are not allowed to know.

Wang Lan suddenly wondered if that jeep was used to transport the bodies here.

Wang Lan quickly rejected this idea, because although the vehicle was large, it was not suitable for transporting corpses.

Wang Lan shook his head. Although the mountain of corpses brought new problems, at the same time, the emergence of these problems all pointed to one place.

The final fortress!

He suddenly had the urge to venture into the final fortress.

Let's go and see what these self-important people are actually doing!
