Ye Lei silently left the room. Upon learning that there were seven other survivors who had awakened their supernatural abilities, he considered this news as a priceless treasure.

In fact, it's not necessarily necessary to go to extremes to eliminate them, but if a conflict of interest arises between them, Ye Lei will not hesitate to take ruthless action.

Upon arriving at the next room, the words "Rest Room" were prominently displayed on the door.

Could this be the place where those survivors who are very likely to awaken supernatural abilities are imprisoned? The house has two wooden doors, and Ye Lei deduced that the interior space should be quite spacious, and must contain many people.

So, should we open this mysterious door or not?

Since we're already here, we should investigate thoroughly. After all, these people haven't awakened their superpowers yet, so they probably don't pose much of a threat to us.

As he slowly pulled open the two wooden doors, he was surprised to find that there was another incredibly sturdy iron door in front of him.

There was a small window made of steel bars in the iron gate. Looking through the window, you could see a dark mass of people standing inside.

"Who are you?"

The person inside asked sternly.

"Me? I'm here to save you!"

Ye Lei said with a smile.

"Really? Then hurry up and open the door and let us go!"

The other party did not seem to express any gratitude.

"But you have to give me a reason to save you!"

"Reason? What reason do you want?"

"The reason I saved you!"

"No"

"In that case, goodbye!"

After Ye Lei finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

"Wait, what do you want to know? We'll tell you everything!"

The other party was afraid of missing this excellent opportunity to escape.

"What are you doing here? Who arrested you?"

"After we were captured by the soldiers, we were locked up here. Apart from having our blood drawn every day, there's nothing else we do!"

"Drawing blood? What are they going to do with the blood?"

"I heard it can detect whether someone has awakened a superpower based on their blood composition!"

Is this acceptable? This broadened Ye Lei's knowledge once again.

"Yes, we heard about it too!"

"What if you can't awaken it?"

"If you don't awaken your superpower within a month, you'll be taken away, and nobody knows where you'll go."

Ye Lei thought they must all be dead, because only the dead can keep secrets.

"So this is what they feed you every day?"

Ye Lei took out a zombie crystal core.

"Yes, how did you know? It tastes awful, even harder to chew than bones, but there's nothing we can do about it, they won't give us any other food."

I see, so it really is unconditionally enforced!

"Don't you really want to awaken your superpowers?"

"We don't want to! I heard that those who awakened superpowers were forced to work for the military. We just want to live a good life!"

"But how did they find you?"

“When we go to the relief station to collect supplies, we are forced to have our blood drawn. If we don’t have our blood drawn, we won’t receive any supplies. They call it a physical examination, but it’s really to see if we have the potential to awaken superpowers.”

Hearing this, Ye Lei understood the hidden purpose behind all the actions of these soldiers from the beginning to the present.

Nevertheless, he still felt that activating superpowers could indeed help people increase their chances of survival in this apocalyptic environment, but forcing others to comply in this way was really going too far!

With this in mind, Ye Lei made up his mind to release these imprisoned people.

In this way, the mysterious X Laboratory will surely fall into chaos. At that time, the soldiers will be busy capturing the fugitives and will naturally have no time to take care of their own group.

In this way, he could take this opportunity to continue investigating the truth of the matter and easily get away.

"I can let you go, but not now."

"When will that be?"

The other party asked impatiently.

"You've been locked up for so long, don't you want to prepare yourself? Like, stretch your muscles so you'll have the energy to run later!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's time to move around a bit. My legs are so stiff from not exercising for so long!"

"That's right, just wait!"

After Ye Lei finished speaking, he closed the wooden door and went to continue his investigation.

The next room had a prominent sign hanging on the door – “Laboratory”. The door was slightly ajar, as if silently recounting everything that had just happened.

Perhaps those people in white coats were frightened away by the sudden roar and fled in panic! Undoubtedly, this room was used to test the survivors' blood, but clearly, there was nothing of value here.

Ye Lei continued forward without hesitation, and then he saw another closed door with the words "Storage Room" written on it.

This instantly ignited a flame of hope within Ye Lei's heart. Could it be that there were mountains of crystal cores hidden inside? If that were the case, then this adventure would surely be incredibly rewarding!

However, when he pushed open the door with high expectations, the scene before him greatly disappointed him. The room was filled with all sorts of medical supplies, which were almost useless to him.

Just as Ye Lei was feeling disheartened and about to turn away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a safe in the corner of the wall.

It stood there quietly, like a mysterious treasure trove, exuding an alluring aura. Could it be that some vital material was hidden inside?

He walked quickly to the safe, tentatively pulled on the door, but found it didn't budge.

It seems that a password is required to open this safe. Since conventional methods are not working, Ye Lei decides to use his last resort—brute force!

Ye Lei took out his lightsaber, infused it with power, and the hilt emitted a blue light. He slowly raised the lightsaber and slashed it down hard at the center of the safe.

The sound of "whoosh..." and the pale green or pale yellow light made Ye Lei's eyes light up. My God! They were all crystal cores. This must be what Cha Zhijun had painstakingly collected!

Ye Lei treated it like a precious treasure, and with a wave of his hand, he even managed to store the remains of the safe into his spatial storage, his joy overflowing.

"Brother Lei, you've gotten rid of him this time!"

Tang Xiaoting, who was following behind Ye Lei, naturally took in all of this.

"Yes, I estimate there are at least tens of thousands of them. It feels so good to get something for nothing!"

"I really can't imagine how many zombies they killed to collect so many crystal cores!"

"Why bother with all that? It's the apocalypse, and the existence of zombies is the biggest danger. I used to think they could turn back, but now I know it was all a lie!"

"Yes, I always thought they were developing a vaccine. That's the biggest lie since the apocalypse!"
