Because there was still some distance, the sound was extremely weak, and Jiang Chuyi had to listen carefully before he could vaguely hear some signs.

Others couldn't hear the sound, but it was not difficult for them to notice that something was wrong.

"Boss..." Wuyi called He Sizhao softly.

"Get in the car and rush to the base at full speed," He Sizhao said decisively. "Prepare for battle."

He didn't have Jiang Chuyi's sensitive five senses, but based on his experience, he knew that there was no way the inside of the base would be peaceful.

Everyone was silent and moved quickly.

The base is the roots of many people. Their homes and relatives are all there, so they cannot help but be anxious.

While climbing back into the car, Jiang Chuyi asked a strange question.

In the original plot timeline, Su Mo should have died at this time, but he did not participate in the mission, and danger occurred in the base. Is this the plot automatically correcting itself?

However, the next second she saw He Sizhao with a serious expression and immediately denied this guess.

No, that's not right. Speaking of correcting the plot, He Sizhao is the biggest obstacle. It's impossible to bypass him and correct Su Mo alone.

Then it can only be someone playing tricks on me.

In the original plot, it was she who almost brought down the headquarters. Now that she is not working, someone has actually taken her place.

Jiang Chuyi was subtly unhappy. Everyone became serious and kept silent, and she didn't say anything either. Everyone was eager to return to the base to see what was going on.

The further the car moved forward, the more serious everyone's expressions became.

The body that was run over before was indeed not an isolated case. There were fresh bodies of people who had died not long ago lying on the road all the way.

"What on earth... killed them?" Wuyi's voice trembled slightly, filled with fear and anger.

"The body wasn't ripped open, so it wasn't done by zombies." He Sizhao took a quick look out the window and made an analysis.

Wuyi: "Could it be an Awakened? There are only a few Awakened in the base, and I've never seen anyone so crazy."

"He may not be an awakened one."

Unintentionally noticing the coldness in He Sizhao's tone, he shuddered unconsciously: "What else could it be?"

"It's something powerful enough to shock the zombies," He Sizhao said. "These corpses have been left here for maybe a few hours, maybe even more than ten hours. For such a long time, no zombies have come to eat them. Why is that?"

“Because they don’t dare.”

The one who answered was Jiang Chuyi. She kept her eyes fixed on the window and casually responded to He Sizhao's question.

"That's right." He Sizhao confirmed, "There must be something in the base that is evil enough to scare the zombies."

Wu Yi was a little incredulous: "Zombies actually know whether to be afraid or not? I always thought they had no brains...except for the high-level zombies."

"Low-level zombies also have thoughts, but they are usually not obvious. They do not rely on thoughts to survive." Jiang Chuyi said in a low voice.

She had excellent eyesight. Whether it was the corpse under the wheel just now or the messy corpses on the road, she could clearly see that they had a very deep scratch on their necks or a deep bloody hole on their chests.

He was killed instantly. It was obvious that the opponent was extremely fast and ruthless.

Jiang Chuyi rested his forehead against the cold car window and closed his eyes.

She was trying her best to feel what was in the base that was stealing her spot.

But it doesn't work.

No matter how she felt, there was no energy feedback from anything in the base.

This result means that either the thing is powerful enough to be beyond her perception, or it has left the base.

The former is impossible, the latter...

Only by returning to base can these questions be answered.

No one spoke after that. Driving at full speed, the convoy soon arrived at the foot of the towering walls of the base.

The city wall, which was once heavily guarded and to which even He Sizhao had barely been able to enter upon his return, was now deserted.

What is even more disturbing is that the first barrier protecting the base was wide open, with the largest door directly opened.

But no one came in and no one went out. All one could see was thick white fog filling the door, making the vision blurry.

He Sizhao ordered: "Be alert and prepare to enter."

He leaned slightly to the side, getting closer to Jiang Chuyi, so that he would have more time to protect her when a crisis occurred.

Jiang Chuyi's eyes also became a little more serious.

There is something unknown inside. She is confident but not arrogant. Even if she believes in her own strength, she does not want to capsize in the ditch.

In the tense atmosphere, the convoy moved forward slowly.

Wuyi, the lead driver, deliberately slowed down. Facing the dense fog, he couldn't help but curse out loud, "Is this place a barrier? Why is there such thick fog?"

When Jiang Chuyi heard about the barrier, his eyes moved.

She remembered that the Zombie King seemed to have such a skill as well, which was to circle a range, and anyone who was not as strong as her could not escape.

But she felt it was useless because her perception coverage was much larger than this barrier. If she wanted to take action, she didn't need to rely on this thing, so she didn't think of it for a while.

Does it come with a thick fog effect?

The situation is becoming increasingly confusing due to the opponent he cannot sense and the skills he possesses.

The situation outside was so tragic that they thought they would be greeted by a fierce battle scene after entering. However, on the contrary, there was no sound inside except thick fog.

Even the screams Jiang Chuyi had just heard seemed to be just an illusion. It was as quiet as a dead city.

He Shizhao took out the communicator, adjusted the channel and started calling.

"Su Mo, Su Mo, please reply if you get it."

After a few seconds, there was still only the rustling sound of electricity in the communicator.

Wuyi's pupils suddenly shrank: "Within this range, Su Mo should be able to receive the message, right?"

He Sizhao didn't answer and continued to call: "Su Mo, reply as soon as possible after receiving it."

Still no response.

Wuyi was obviously a little uneasy. He swayed twice in the driver's seat: "What happened? Even Su Mo has lost contact. Doesn't that mean the others..."

He didn't finish his words, but everyone knew that was a result that no one wanted to face.

"Why are you panicking?" Jiang Chuyi said, "You haven't seen anything yet, and you're just scaring yourself. Stop embarrassing yourself."

She was still sharp-tongued, but I had to admit that hearing her still so calm and disgusted voice at this moment miraculously made me feel a little calmer.

"Thank you, Xiaoyi." He said gratefully.

Jiang Chuyi:?

Are these humans becoming more and more weird? They even express gratitude when being scolded.

He Sizhao touched her head and switched to another channel: "He Sizhao calling, please answer."

At the same time, a voice came from Wuyi's communicator. Jiang Chuyi guessed that this should be their public channel or something.

After a heart-wrenching electric sound, a familiar voice finally appeared.

"Captain He, it's me, Ji Xia, are you guys back?!"

The voice was hoarse and tired, and was extremely low, but it was full of excited ecstasy.

"Ji Xia?" Wu Yi said hastily, "How did you get our communicator?"

"...I found it from a team member's body. I thought if you guys came back, you might use it to contact us." Ji Xia took a deep breath, as if trying hard to hide his sobs. "Captain He, where are you?"

Just a short sentence reveals the tragic scene inside.

He Sizhao paused for a second: "We have entered the outer city area. What is the current situation inside? Who are the enemies?"

"I have no idea……"

When mentioning this "enemy", Ji Xia, a battle-hardened warrior, couldn't suppress the fear in his voice.

"I've never seen what that thing looks like. It's so fast, it seemed to appear out of nowhere, and then it started killing people in the base. No one was a match for it. Almost all the awakened people in the base were killed by it, and the civilians were also..." Ji Xia's voice trembled, "I'm hiding in the basement of a residential building now. That thing hasn't left yet. It's hunting. Captain He, you guys have to be careful, it's hunting!..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

"Ji Xia? Ji Xia?"

He Shizhao called a few more times, but there was no sound in the communicator.

Jiang Chuyi's attention was also drawn to it, and he stared quietly at the communicator where only the sound of electricity remained.

"Damn it!" Wuyi suddenly slapped the steering wheel hard, his eyes showing in the rearview mirror red. "The other brothers who didn't respond, have they already... already..."

Already dead.

Jiang Chuyi silently continued this sentence in his heart.

Thinking that Su Mo might be here too, she felt strangely uncomfortable.

"Don't panic before you see the real situation." He Sizhao said sternly. At the same time, he connected the communicator at the back and began to deploy in a low voice.

Before they encountered the enemy in person, they could only follow the defensive deployment for the time being and ensure that no accidents happened to the people here before searching for other possible survivors.

Jiang Chuyi listened to their conversation, his eyes scanning the thick fog.

Since her perception didn't work, she relied on her eyes. As long as it was a physical object, no matter how fast it was, it couldn't escape her eyes.

The car was moving forward very carefully. Suddenly, Jiang Chuyi's eyes fixed and he looked straight ahead.

A few seconds later, Wuyi also slammed on the brakes and exclaimed in horror: "What is that!"

In the thick fog ahead, a slender shadow emerged vaguely.

Its face was hidden in the mist and could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was that she was wearing white cloth and had black hair that was long enough to cover her entire face.

It stood there quietly, facing the convoy.

Coupled with the eerie atmosphere, it was like a female ghost walking out of a horror movie, and there were intermittent gasps coming from the communicator.

Everyone saw the abnormality in front of them, it was not an illusion.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

Wuyi held up his heavy sniper rifle with one hand, stretched it out from the car window, and shot wildly at the figure while roaring.

He Sizhao did not stop him, but just kept looking ahead, obviously assessing his opponent's strength.

Jiang Chuyi frowned slightly.

She had a strange feeling, but before she could figure it out, she stopped shooting, panting.

With his talent for accuracy, those bullets definitely hit the figure in front without a doubt.

When the smoke cleared, everyone was horrified to find that the shadow was still standing there, illusory and unaffected.

Jiang Chuyi's body stiffened.

She knew why it felt so strange.

White dress, black hair, familiar skills.

The one opposite... was like another of herself.
