Lu Nange, who had been using her mental energy to probe, asked, "You said you cultivate high-level zombies and research superhumans... but the number of test subjects here isn't that many. What about the others?"
Cai Xun dared not look up, and answered in a trembling voice, "Zombies above level four, and those successfully grafted, stable experimental subjects..."
They'll all be transferred away periodically by the base commander... We lower-ranking officers really don't know exactly where they're sent..."
Seeing that Lu Nange had withdrawn her spiritual power, the vines in Lu Beiye's arms made a rapid "chirp chirp chirp" sound, pointing towards the depths of the passage.
[Master, Master! There are so many delicious things ahead! So much energy! Zhizhi loves it...]
Lu Nange's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately asked, "What area is ahead?"
Cai Xun dared not hide the truth: "That...that's where wood-type zombies are raised..."
"Take us there!" Lu Nange commanded.
The group continued forward, and in every glass enclosure they passed, there were all sorts of 'monsters' with the upper bodies of zombies and the lower bodies grafted with the limbs of different animals.
Some grafts consist of scale-covered reptile hind limbs, others of hoofed even-toed ungulate hind limbs, and some even have bird wings sewn onto their backs...
Each laboratory is pushing the limits of what people can endure.
Finally, Lu Nange stopped at a relatively open platform area.
Following her gaze downwards, everyone was once again awestruck by the sight before them.
Beneath your feet is a huge glass wall, beneath which lies a vast space several meters deep.
There were hundreds of zombies standing inside!
Without exception, they all had their eyes closed, silently displayed at everyone's feet...
Gu Wan: "They seem to be asleep?"
Cai Xun: "We spray sedatives every so often, keeping these zombies in a dormant state... This makes them easier to manage and collect."
Shi Xu: "Sedatives? Zombies can use them?"
Cai Xun nodded: "Yes, it's specifically designed for zombies!"
Shi Xu: "You figured this out?"
Cai Xun: No, it was brought back by our base commander.
Zhizhi squirmed excitedly in Lu Beiye's arms, making even more cheerful "chirp chirp" sounds, with what appeared to be drool at the corner of her mouth...
[Master, Master! I want all of these! Is that alright? They smell so good...]
Lu Nange nodded her wavy hair to indicate she understood, then looked at Cai Xun: "When will they wake up?"
"According to the scheduled time for spraying the medicine...it's about...about three more hours..." Cai Xun replied.
Lu Nange: "Open this door!"
Cai Xun: "The explosion just now caused the laboratory to automatically activate its defense system. Only the base commander can open it; I do not have that authorization!"
Zhizhi couldn't wait to continue chirping.
[Master! I can use extremely thin vines to slip inside... and then eat them all myself!]
Chi Yanzhou moved closer to Lu Nange without making a sound, and Shi Xu immediately pulled Cai Xun a few steps away to give the two of them some space.
Chi Yanzhou leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice, "Does Zhizhi need these zombies?"
"Hmm." Lu Nange's gaze remained fixed on the slumbering zombie horde at her feet, and she nodded slightly. "It's very excited. It's saying that this is very important to it, and it can absorb it all."
After a moment's thought, Chi Yanzhou quickly made arrangements: "Then let's split up... I'll take the rest of the group to deal with those grafted monsters first, and you and A-Ye will stay here with Zhizhi?"
Lu Nange nodded: "Yu Wei and Sister Wen Qing, please stay."
"Okay." Chi Yanzhou agreed, then turned to Chi Yi: "Chi Yi, take him with you, let's go! Sang Che, Sang Yan...you two stay and watch over Nan Nan and the others."
Sang Che and Sang Yan: "Okay, Captain Chi!"
