"Haha, so it seems that 5,000 crystal cores are still a bit too few for me!"
Ye Lei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Comrade Ye Lei, this is quite a lot! With the mutation rate of zombies increasing every day, it's not easy to get these crystal cores!"
Deputy Captain Liu said with a troubled expression, but what he was really thinking was unknown to others. After all, the military certainly had more than one way of obtaining crystal cores, and Cha Zhijun's Desheng Generator Company was just one of them.
After Ye Lei had roughly figured out the situation, he finally got to the point of the conversation: "So now, can you tell me where the Corpse King Vulture is hiding?"
"It's guarding the place where we leave the bodies of the survivors. Every time our hearse drives by, it shows up."
"Then bring it here!"
"What?"
"2000 crystal cores!"
"oh"
After speaking, Deputy Captain Liu took out two black cloth bags from his briefcase, indicating that everything was indeed prepared.
"Let's go then!"
Ye Lei reached out and took the two black bags, casually carrying them in his hands, and then walked out of the conference room.
Just then, they bumped into Beanna, who was walking over, and right behind her was her father, Bethany, the police chief.
"Brother Lei, have you reached an agreement?"
Beanna couldn't wait to run up and ask.
"Yes, it's settled."
Ye Lei replied simply, nodding to Bei Tianrui, "Hello, Uncle!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Beanna's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
She was well aware of the danger of this mission—they were about to face the ferocious Vulture King.
Looking at the brave and determined young man in front of him, Bei Tianrui secretly admired him. He knew that Ye Lei had extraordinary strength and courage, but as a father, he still couldn't help but want to stay by his daughter's side to ensure her safety.
“I heard from Anna that you’re going to deal with that terrifying Corpse King Vulture. I’m really worried about you, so I’ve decided to go with you.”
Bei Tianrui said firmly.
Ye Lei was somewhat surprised, but he understood that Bei Tianrui's actions stemmed entirely from his concern for his daughter.
However, not wanting his elders to take risks, he quickly declined, saying, "Uncle, there's really no need. We'll take good care of ourselves."
Bei Tianrui smiled slightly, as if he had seen through Ye Lei's thoughts.
"What? Do you think I, the police chief, only cause trouble and become a burden to you?"
Ye Lei quickly shook his head and explained, "No, that's not it at all! I absolutely didn't have that thought!"
Seeing her father's insistence on going along, Beanna chimed in, "Brother Lei, let my dad come too. I begged him for ages before he finally agreed!"
Bena knew in her heart that it had been a long time since she had experienced such an adventure with her father. This was a rare opportunity, and she did not want to miss the moment to fight alongside her father.
"Alright then, let's set off. Deputy Captain Liu, please lead the way!"
"Alright!"
Soon, two military off-road vehicles and two police cars followed the hearse out of the shelter and drove away into the distance.
About twenty or thirty minutes later, the convoy arrived at a desolate and abandoned factory.
The three-story office building looked as if it had been abandoned long before the apocalypse. The windows were broken and fragmented; the walls were dark and deep, revealing the marks of time; and the entrance was overgrown with weeds, a scene of decay.
As for the burial site, it was located in a dilapidated factory building next door. The corrugated steel roof of the factory building was cracked beyond recognition, and it was almost impossible to find a single intact part. The surrounding pillars were also covered in rust, giving people a feeling that it was about to collapse.
In the very center of the factory, an enormous, deep pit stood out, filled with countless corpses and skeletons, with hardly a trace of rotting flesh.
At this very moment, a few emaciated vultures are scavenging on the skeletons, trying to find the last bit of carrion to fill their bellies.
However, when they heard the sound of a car approaching, they panicked and flew away in all directions.
Ye Lei got out of the car. Even though he was wearing a protective mask, the strong, pungent stench of the corpse was still noticeable, and everyone present couldn't help but frown.
"Comrade Ye Lei, are you ready? Shall we throw the corpse down now to lure the Corpse King Vulture over?"
Deputy Captain Liu asked anxiously, not wanting to stay here for even a minute longer.
"What's the rush? Let me arrange it first."
Ye Lei, however, was used to such horrific scenes and appeared relaxed. He was observing the surrounding environment, trying to create a perfect trap.
He thought of the Undead Skeleton, which was also a skeleton. If he hid among the bones, he shouldn't be discovered, and might even be able to deliver a fatal blow to the Corpse King Vulture.
As for the zombies it brought, they looked no different from these dead survivors and could be hidden inside to lure and distract the zombie king vulture.
He would lie in ambush nearby, hoping to help the Undead Skeleton take down the Corpse King Vulture in one fell swoop, while Beanna would find a safe and secluded place to protect him.
With the plan complete, Ye Lei controlled the undead skeleton to begin moving and conveyed his thoughts to it. The Corpse King was indeed different; it quickly understood its master's intentions.
"Anna, please find a safe place to protect me. Remember, if you have to fight it, make sure to hit the crystal core on its forehead!"
"Brother Lei, got it!"
Benana carried her sniper rifle and went to find safe cover, with Bei Tianrui following behind, wanting to give his daughter the best advice.
"Deputy Captain Liu, thank you for arranging your men to be distributed around the area. While I'm dealing with the Corpse King Vulture, those smaller ones will be yours to handle!"
Ye Lei turned around and said to Deputy Captain Liu.
"No problem, if we can't handle the big ones, the small ones are no problem!"
"Alright, then throw the corpse where the Undead Skull Scythe is!"
"no problem"
Following Ye Lei's plan, Deputy Captain Liu carried out the deployment work in an orderly manner. At the same time, Ye Lei was also focused on finding the best position for his attack.
After careful consideration, he finally decided to choose this crucial location not far from the body, so as to maximize the chances of success of the operation and ensure that nothing went wrong.
Just five minutes later, everyone had arrived at their designated posts and were ready, and the carefully designed traps had been set up.
Everyone looked up at the sky, holding their breath and waiting silently for the legendary Vulture, the Corpse King, to lead its flying zombie army to its doom.
