After Wang Zheng had observed his surroundings, he didn't care that he was still dirty. He casually took out a sweatshirt from his storage space and put it on.

Immediately afterward, Dang Liantao finished his phone call and returned.

The two waited a short while before police cars arrived on the street and surrounded the factory in an instant.

Then, special police officers came over and spoke with Dang Liantao for a while. After that, Wang Zheng and Dang Liantao withdrew immediately.

The special police unit thoughtfully sent a police car to take the two of them back.

Along the way, Wang Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Dang, are we just going to ignore this? What if these things really are related to that?"

Wang Zheng was also careful not to directly mention the Heavenly Demon.

He was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He had spent so long groping around in the stinking sewers, but had gained nothing in the end.

Although it was obvious that these rats had eaten the meat and blood of the exotic beasts that flowed out of this processing plant, which was why they were driven mad.

But who knows, there might be other strange beasts or even more rats inside.

Moreover, Wang Zheng had a feeling that the Heavenly Demon was involved in this, otherwise there was no way to explain why today's events were so coincidental.

Regardless of whether the previous deliveryman was possessed by a demon, the rats' hideout was so far from the guesthouse, so what was their reason for coming all the way to attack them?

Moreover, along their journey, there were still pieces of strange beast meat on the ground that had not been eaten by the rats.

Wang Zheng absolutely refused to believe that there was no one involved or that it was the work of a demon.

Moreover, there are countless places along the way where they can rush to the ground. If the rat swarm is only trying to attack humans because they've gone mad, then let's put it bluntly, aren't all people human?

Do they also want to have some fun?

Why do they have to target the most powerful people?

This doesn't seem like someone who's really gone mad.

When Dang Liantao heard Wang Zheng's question, he replied helplessly, "It's not that we don't care, but firstly, the two of us can't handle things here completely, and secondly, these special police officers have specific procedures and methods for dealing with the smuggling of exotic beast meat."

Furthermore, if related products have already been sold, they need to be tracked and retrieved, which cannot be resolved immediately. Therefore, we should simply avoid making things worse and leave it to them to handle.

Our most important task now is to continue tracking down the previous deliveryman and interrogating Tao Shen.

Other departments are not completely unaware of the relevant information; if they discover any relevant clues, they will notify us.

I just hope that too much of this beast meat hasn't circulated in the market. Although eating unprocessed beast meat can indeed increase spiritual energy, it can also cause people to lose their minds—those rats are the best example of that.

Wang Zheng nodded silently to himself and said nothing more.

He understood what Dang Liantao meant: We should only deal with the Heavenly Demon's affairs, and leave everything else to the special police officers in the police department.

Although the mission was fraught with twists and turns, Wang Zheng was generally satisfied with it.

After all, he actually earned nearly 2,000 points of spiritual energy.

As the police car sped along, Wang Zheng soon saw the imposing gate of the Jingnan Military Region.

After getting out of the car, the two thanked the special police officer who was driving before returning to their base.

Upon returning, the two ignored everything else and went straight to take a shower.

Dang Liantao was alright, but Wang Zheng really stank; you couldn't stand within a meter of him.

Even with Wang Zheng's thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed in the SWAT car. It was almost December, and the windows were all open, but Wang Zheng himself couldn't stand the fumes.

However, the special police officers were experienced and knew that these were soldiers on duty, so they only felt respect and naturally did not have any intention of mocking them.

However, he was also really holding back.

Wang Zheng scrubbed himself vigorously with soap, wishing he could scrub off a layer of skin. He finally managed to get the two of them cleaned up and changed their clothes, but they hadn't even had a chance to go over yet.

Dan Changxu walked over with a gloomy face.

"Tao Shen has woken up, but he still refuses to speak. He just keeps saying things like the end of the world, that humanity is doomed, and that we need to believe in God to be saved."

Soon, the group appeared together in the underground base of the research lab.

After all, there were still many ordinary researchers in the institute, so it was better to be conservative and simply bring Tao Shen down with them.

Fortunately, the base has a large enough area, and similar situations had been considered before, which separated Tao Shen from the Heavenly Demons.

Wang Zheng looked around curiously. Although he had come down here twice before, it was always to the place where the Heavenly Demon was imprisoned. He hadn't noticed that there was another world inside this underground base.

Wang Zheng followed them through many twists and turns, and after pushing open a hidden door, they arrived at a new space.

Through a one-way glass partition, Tao Shen was in a small, square room, painted pure white.

The overall layout is similar to an interrogation room in a police station.

There was no "reset chair" inside, just an ordinary table and chair.

The three of them watched Tao Shen, who was sitting restlessly, through the glass. No matter what Yu Shaoting and the other police officer said, Tao Shen looked panicked and uncooperative.

Shan Changxu said helplessly, "He's been awake for a while now, and he's been like this the whole time. Even soothing him with my mental energy doesn't work."

Wang Zheng saw that Tao Shen's appearance didn't seem fake; he seemed genuinely frightened. So he tried saying, "He looks a bit off. Should we try using Holy Light on him again to see if we can calm him down?"

Dang Liantao rubbed his temples and said a few words into the microphone, as if this was the only way to try.
