"Ah! You actually killed him! Who are you?"
The other person was terrified upon seeing this, completely unprepared for Ye Lei's willingness to keep his word.
"Now that things have come to this, do you still naively believe that I was just joking with you?"
Ye Lei stared coldly at the person in front of him, and as he spoke, he held the still blood-stained lightsaber to the man's throat.
"No! No! Don't kill me, please spare me! I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
Faced with the brutal reality, no one can remain tough and stubborn. Fear takes over their mind, and instinct causes their body to tremble and submit.
"What do you want to do with all these zombies you've captured?"
Ye Lei's eyes widened in anger, his tone filled with hostility and accusation.
"Oh? You mean these zombies? They're just some insignificant experimental subjects in our lab."
The other party replied casually.
"Experiments? What exactly are you going to use them to test?"
Ye Lei frowned and continued to press for answers.
"Of course, it's for testing drugs to treat the zombie virus!"
The person answered without any attempt to hide their feelings.
Upon hearing this, the word "X2" suddenly flashed into Ye Lei's mind, and he immediately thought of the mysterious drug that Cha Zhijun had been injected with before.
"X2?"
Ye Lei's eyes widened, and his voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.
Faced with Ye Lei's sudden question, the man was clearly surprised, but quickly regained his composure: "So you already know about X2, then why ask me again?"
"But as far as I know, X2 can only delay the time it takes for infected people to turn into zombies; it can't really turn zombies back into normal people, can it?"
Ye Lei pinpointed the problem incisively.
"That seems to be the case at the moment, but we have successfully developed X3, which not only has fewer side effects but also a longer duration of action. Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, we really might find a way to completely cure zombies!"
This person spoke with great confidence and conviction.
"Tell me, where are these medications stored?"
Getting the medicine was Ye Lei's main purpose for this trip.
"Do you also want those drugs? However, it might be difficult. The quantity is limited right now, and they're kept in a room guarded by soldiers. You can't get them!"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me where the medicine is, and you can leave!"
"Go straight to the right after you leave the house until you reach the end, then turn right and you'll see it!"
Upon hearing that he could leave, the man couldn't wait to say it.
"Okay, I understand!"
Ye Lei's eyes narrowed, and he swiftly slammed his palm down hard on the back of the man's neck! With a muffled thud, the man instantly lost consciousness, his body limply collapsing to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Lei turned his gaze to the group of zombies locked in the iron cage.
Surprisingly, the crystal cores on the foreheads of these zombies were all yellow without exception. They varied in size, but they were all undoubtedly at the level of zombie generals.
He couldn't help but wonder: where did these people find such a large number of corpses? Even more unbelievable was their ability to capture them alive and bring them back here. Clearly, the army's methods were far superior to his own.
However, Ye Lei had no intention of controlling such a large zombie army. But seeing that the crystal cores of these zombie generals contained enormous energy, it would be a real pity to let them go to waste!
Without hesitation, he unleashed his superpower—Hellfire Lightning. In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if the entire space had been torn apart.
After the lightning subsided, the previously noisy zombies stopped roaring, but at this moment they were only dizzy and had not suffered any fatal injuries.
Ye Lei activated his superpower, Ice Roar, again, expecting to see a series of ice sculptures. However, to his surprise, the zombies were covered in only a thin layer of ice. It seemed that his most prized superpower was no longer very effective against the zombie generals.
Fortunately, he still had the ability to freeze space. In the blink of an eye, the originally frantic zombies were transformed into sculptures.
Ye Lei took out his lightsaber, cut the chains on the iron cage, opened the iron gate, and killed all the zombies with lightning speed. After his superpower ended, disgusting yellow liquid flowed all over the ground.
"Come quick, help me."
Ye Lei called out to Tang Xiaoting, who was standing at the door in a daze.
"Okay, Brother Lei, I'm here."
After Tang Xiaoting finished speaking, she quickly went into the iron cage.
"Help me remove the crystal core from the zombie's forehead!"
After Ye Lei finished speaking, he took out a dagger from his spatial storage and handed it to Tang Xiaoting.
"Okay, no problem!"
Tang Xiaoting took the dagger and began to remove the crystal core from the zombie's forehead.
"Brother Lei, were all those lightning bolts and ice formations your doing?"
Tang Xiaoting asked while working.
"Yes, if it were before, one superpower would have been enough to take care of them all. But this time I used almost all of my superpowers. It seems I need to hurry!"
Ye Lei's meaning was, of course, to enhance his superpowers and acquire even more powerful ones.
"I think you're already really amazing!"
"But the zombies have become even more powerful. If we want to survive, we really can't stay idle!"
"Oh, okay!"
Tang Xiaoting pondered to herself that she couldn't be of much help to Ye Lei, so she focused on collecting crystal cores.
Just five minutes later, all the crystal cores had been successfully collected. To everyone's surprise, there were more than twenty crystal cores, neatly arranged together, emitting a dazzling yellow light, which was in stark contrast to the faint glow of the crystal cores collected earlier.
After the collection was successfully completed, Ye Lei carefully selected the smallest crystal core and handed it to Xiuxiu. He knew Xiuxiu's dependence on the crystal core.
Without a sufficient supply of crystal cores, Xiu Xiu might become anxious and restless, which could affect their next move. Now, with this delicious "food," Xiu Xiu is as happy as a blooming flower, jumping and skipping around.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Lei took a more cautious approach. He locked the door to the room and threw the key into the trash can without hesitation. After all, he couldn't let anyone find out that the corpses he had painstakingly captured had already been killed.
Then, Ye Lei pushed the trash can, with Tang Xiaoting and Xiuxiu following behind, slowly moving towards the end of the corridor. Every step was filled with vigilance and determination, as if they were stepping into an unknown future.
