The red light rising in the distance grew increasingly dazzling, as if the entire sky was shrouded by a huge blood-red curtain, making it so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Lu Zhaoming frowned. In his eyes, the red light was like the last frantic struggle of the white-robed man, ugly and blinding.

"This is not an ordinary warning signal, but the last madness of the white-robed man." Lu Zhaoming's voice was so deep it seemed to come from hell, carrying a chilling aura.

"Ding! An abnormal energy fluctuation has been detected. It is recommended to take action in advance."

The system notification sounded at the right time, and Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat, further confirming his judgment.

He whispered, "We can't wait any longer; we must take the initiative."

Back at the safe house, Lu Zhaoming quickly gathered everyone together. In the apocalypse, time is life, and efficiency is the key to survival.

Doctor Li pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting red light, making him look particularly serious: "If the red light continues to spread, the entire wasteland will become a paradise for the infected. At that time, even if we can barely survive, we won't live for long."

Su Li also abandoned her usual alluring charm, biting her lip as she analyzed, "The core base of the white-robed man must be near the source of the red light. We must find it and destroy it! Otherwise, we will never be able to escape this nightmare."

Lu Zhaoming nodded in agreement.

He knew that passively taking a beating was never the solution; only by taking the initiative could he seize control of his destiny.

"I need your help!" Lu Zhaoming's gaze swept over the crowd, his tone firm.

“No problem, Zhaoming, whatever you say, we’ll do!” Liu Yan was the first to speak up. After a series of events, his trust in Lu Zhaoming had reached an unprecedented level.

"This time, we're going to pull off something big!" Lu Zhaoming's lips curled into a dangerous smile, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Ding! The system has unlocked a new function: the memory analysis module, which can help the host identify the enemy's weaknesses."

Lu Zhaoming's eyes lit up; this new feature was a godsend!

"With this, we can pinpoint the White Robe's lair more accurately," Lu Zhaoming thought to himself with secret delight.

He immediately began to use the memory analysis module, combining the previously collected memory fragments and chip data, to analyze and deduce.

Time passed by, and the safe house was eerily quiet, with only the rhythmic tapping of Lu Zhaoming's fingers on the table echoing through it.

Suddenly, Lu Zhaoming abruptly raised his head.

"Found it!"

“Based on the analysis of memory fragments and chip data, I speculate that the core base is located deep within an abandoned factory,” Lu Zhaoming said in a deep voice, pointing to a red dot on the map.

“An abandoned factory? The terrain there is complicated, and it’s definitely full of spies in white robes. It’s going to be difficult!” Su Li said, frowning.

“I know, that’s why we need a well-thought-out plan.” Lu Zhaoming smiled confidently.

“I have devised a three-pronged attack plan: Qinglian, you are responsible for creating illusions to confuse the guards and attract their attention as much as possible; Liu Yan, you lead the civilians to evacuate the infected on the periphery and ensure their safety; as for me, I will directly raid the core position, find the white-robed man, and end all of this.”

"Zhaoming, isn't it too dangerous for you to go to the core position alone?" Su Li asked worriedly.

“Yes, there must be heavy guards there. You probably won’t be able to handle it alone,” Liu Yan advised.

Lu Zhaoming sneered, "Besides, I still have some trump cards up my sleeve."

"Can your body handle it?" Su Li was still a little worried, after all, Lu Zhaoming had been injured before and his body had not fully recovered.

"Don't worry, I'm as tough as a cockroach. This little injury is nothing to me," Lu Zhaoming said, patting his chest as if it didn't matter at all.

Before setting off, Xiaocao suddenly grabbed Lu Zhaoming's wrist, her little face full of fear.

"I feel very scared, but it's like something is calling to me." Xiaocao's voice trembled, as if she had seen something terrifying.

Lu Zhaoming's heart stirred. He lowered his head and looked carefully into the little grass's eyes.

"Don't be afraid, little grass, I'm here, I'll protect you," Lu Zhaoming said gently.

He quietly activated the system and scanned the grass.

"Ding! Antibody genes in the host body are detected resonating with red light. Close monitoring is recommended."

Lu Zhaoming was startled. He realized that the antibody gene in the grass might be the key to breaking this crisis.

"Don't be afraid, you will become our ace." Lu Zhaoming patted Xiaocao's head and comforted her.

The team then prepared to set off for the source of the red light.

A tense atmosphere filled the air; everyone knew that a fierce battle was about to unfold.

Lu Zhaoming walked at the front of the group, his eyes firm and sharp, like a drawn sword pointing straight ahead.

"White Robe, I will find you and send you to hell!" Lu Zhaoming silently vowed in his heart.

Just as they were about to reach the perimeter of the abandoned factory, Lu Zhaoming suddenly stopped.

He raised his head, looked into the distance, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Wait, something's not right..." Lu Zhaoming said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the front, as if he had discovered something unusual.

Su Li walked to Lu Zhaoming's side and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did you find something?"

Lu Zhaoming did not answer, but simply stretched out his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed everything around him.
