Three days later, a fire at the resettlement site destroyed all the experimental data.
Also destroyed were those self-righteous experts and scholars who had put in so much effort to prove themselves with drugs and reagents, only to be met with death.
"Jiang Ruan, just let me go. You know how powerful my Black Divine Tree is. If I don't go to help at a time like this, who will?"
An Xia tugged at Jiang Ruan's sleeve, pleading because she needed to go to the resettlement center to rescue Zhang Yang, who had been freed from the zombie king and taken away.
Jiang Ruan's face was ashen; she was still shaken as she recalled what had just happened.
The zombie king was almost finished being refined; all that was left was to wait until the full moon.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong, and it broke free from all its restraints and left, taking Zhang Yang, its guardian, with it as well.
This is undoubtedly a major blow to Jiang Ruan.
The news we just received is that the Zombie King and the others are at the resettlement site. The fire was probably caused by someone who accidentally used an experimental drug, turned into a zombie, and then mistakenly used fire-based abilities.
Jiang Ruan originally wanted to take Gu An with her, but he was still unconscious and hadn't woken up yet.
As for the others...
Jiang Ruan sighed, turned around, and took An Xia's hand, saying, "Let's go, it seems it's just the two of us going."
Anxia hadn't held out much hope, but upon hearing this, a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes. As long as she could go, there was hope.
She finally got to see the person she wanted to see.
An Xia nodded frantically, picked up the pre-prepared package, and immediately followed Jiang Ruan away.
The resettlement site has now become a ruin. Finding Zhang Yang and the Zombie King, who were captured, in this ruin is simply a pipe dream. The only place left to search is the place where Governor Xiao used to live.
After all, this was the only building in the entire resettlement area that hadn't completely collapsed, and it had an extra floor compared to the surrounding houses. Plus, some fireproofing materials had been added to it, so the damage was minimal.
Therefore, this house stands out conspicuously among the ruins!
"Ruan Ruan, I'll go scout ahead first. Don't rush. You need to go as the ace, understand?"
An Xia stopped Jiang Ruan, who was about to take action, and said with a serious expression.
Jiang Ruan did not refuse, but watched her leave with an increasingly strange look in her eyes.
"Xiaxia, you have betrayed our vow after all. You actually joined forces with zombies!" After Anxia's figure disappeared from sight, Jiang Ruan let out a long sigh.
She saw it all. Her former best subordinate, Hua Yi, had appeared. She had seen them talking secretly two days ago, during which they mentioned the Zombie King and Gu An several times.
I never imagined that the two people I trusted most would hurt me so badly.
She knew that Anxia had come in such a hurry because of Huayi; they planned to help the zombie king harm her here.
However, their plans may fall through.
Seeing An Xia return with her usual smile, Jiang Ruan pretended to be a little anxious and asked, "How is it? How did it go?"
An Xia's face immediately showed a look of sorrow, and she said with considerable regret, "It is indeed a good place to be, but it's a bit difficult to get in. Only one person can enter at a time. If there are too many, it might alert the enemy. Ruan Ruan, I think it would be better if we split up and search."
"That's right, I'll go through the back door, and you can go straight in through the small front door. Don't worry, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. I won't let you put yourself in any danger."
Anxia patted her chest and said with absolute certainty.
Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Of course. Let's go over there. It might be over soon. Zhang Yang should be fine, right? What do you think?"
An Xia's eyes flickered, and she stammered, "Yes... it should be fine, don't worry."
Jiang Ruan didn't say anything, but she understood everything from the look in her eyes.
She only tried to test the waters, and she immediately revealed just how much she liked Hua Yi.
That person is quite capable, but his character is flawed.
After Jiang Ruan entered through the front door, she truly understood what An Xia meant by "only one person can enter at a time."
The house was damaged by the fire, and the doorway was crushed and deformed.
From the outside it looks fine, but once you go inside, you'll find that the actual entrance is just like a dog hole you see every day, and it really can only accommodate one person at a time.
Jiang Ruan continued walking in calmly. In fact, she didn't need to search at all; the heart-wrenching screams that echoed throughout the space had already shown her the way.
She followed the sound and soon arrived at a room with the door half-open. Through the crack in the door, she saw a figure covered in blood and covered in wounds—it was Zhang Yang, who had been beaten down to only his upper body.
He was curled up on the ground in agony, his body convulsing with pain, and he was uttering cries of agony.
