31: Underwater zombie base.

Early the next morning, they set off.

Carrying the "travel supplies" given by the base from the space, as well as a rather heavy mission.

Out of consideration for the weather, transportation, and various other reasons.

They ultimately took the water route.

They used a boat provided by the base, of the highest military grade.

The rooms on board were sufficient for the few of them to live in.

Since Uncle Wang had no abilities, and considering his age and the long journey by water they had to take.

So after everyone's subsequent discussion, it was finally unanimously decided to leave him at the base.

After all, this trip could be said to be fraught with danger.

The few of them were equivalent to a vanguard, facing life-and-death crises at any moment.

Being without an ability was simply too forced; everyone was rational, so for his safety, they left him behind and took Dou Dou and Yi Nian with them.

The blue ocean of the past had long since ceased to exist, due to Japan's insane discharge of wastewater combined with the impact of various natural disasters since the Apocalypse.

The ocean now had turned into a bottomless black.

There wasn't even a trace of blue left.

On the first day, they encountered a large mutated shark.

It was almost half the size of their boat.

If they were ordinary Ability Users, they truly would have never returned.

That's why they were given this difficult task.

Lo and behold, Level 7 abilities of lightning, fire, poison, and powerful mental interference all came into play together.

Twenty minutes later, the large mutated shark kicked the bucket.

They conservatively estimated that they would be drifting at sea for about twenty-some days this time.

Life at sea was quite boring.

At first, they still talked and laughed; occasionally when the weather was good, the few of them would even sunbathe.

But later on, they had to rely on killing mutated sea monsters every day to find some fun.

Their rooms were spaced quite far apart; this was a very thoughtful consideration, providing strong privacy.

Yue Yue and Ji Chuan, Lin Wan and Mo Chi, Dou Dou and Yi Nian.

And the lone wolf, Shi Li.

Speaking of this mysterious boy, compared to Shen Mo Chi's cold and overbearing CEO persona, he was more like a veritable iceberg.

Perhaps it's because Shen Mo Chi is with Lin Wan now that he has more of a human touch.

Anyway, Shi Li, this rigid iceberg, did nothing but sit there in a daze every day, besides necessary talking and monster-killing. Yes, in a daze.

It was simply breathtaking to those of them with active personalities.

Xie Ji Chuan often used his sharp tongue to tease him:

For example, right now.

"Shi Li, you should be 23 this year, right? You don't even have a girlfriend. Tsk tsk, seeing AChi and me with our wives in our arms every day, a perfect pair, are you secretly envious in your heart?"

The next second?

"Hey, hey, hey, what's happening to me?"

Ji Chuan was seen swaying and stumbling, actually uncontrollably going to kiss the ugly fish monster they had just caught!

That was a piranha, as big as two sharks from before.

Seeing him pouting his lips, it was excitedly opening its mouth wide, waiting for him to stick his head in...

Everyone burst out laughing upon seeing this hilarious scene!

Xia Yue laughed while poking fun at him:

"Serves you right! That's what you get for your sharp tongue! Is Shi Li someone you can tease?"

While scolding him with a smile, she reached out to pull him back.

She didn't want a husband who had kissed a piranha!

Lin Wan's stomach hurt from laughing; she kindly released the mental control for him, and the two took the opportunity to spar a bit.

If there was anyone he was special toward, it was Yi Nian.

Although he was equally tight-lipped, Lin Wan always felt that the way he looked at Yi Nian was different.

One was 16, the other was 23!

It couldn't be what she was thinking, right?

No, no, no, definitely not.

It's just that her Nian Nian is loved by everyone; it's probably just a brotherly feeling toward a sister, she was overthinking it.

Lin Wan herself felt it was absurd and threw the inconceivable thought to the back of her mind.

After half a month of such playful bickering, the few of them were completely drained.

Even Dou Dou, who used to jump around, lay down listlessly.

They all looked forward to reaching Country M quickly so they could go all out.

Finally, as they hoped, they would reach Country M in three or four more days.

This morning, as soon as Lin Wan woke up, she felt something was wrong.

She stood by the side of the boat, frowning as she observed.

The sea surface today was truly too calm—eerily calm.

The closer they got to their destination, the more Lin Wan and the others remained on high alert all day long.

This was on the unfathomable sea; if any unpredictable danger occurred, it would be far more terrifying than on land!

Although they were powerful, there was always someone better, and a higher heaven.

The first day, there were no abnormalities.

But no one dared to let their guard down.

Until the second day.

While Lin Wan was observing with binoculars, she suddenly discovered a zombie as tall as two people! It seemed to be smiling at her!

Her heart jumped, and she couldn't help but take two steps back. She steadied her mind and was about to look closely, but in the next second, the zombie disappeared again...

She strained her eyes to look; the sea surface was dark and deep, without even a ripple, nothing at all...

"Everyone, come out quickly...!"

They had already been in a state of tense alert these past few days; at Lin Wan's shout, everyone quickly came out.

"What's wrong, Wanwan?"

"Mo Chi, I just saw a zombie!"

"A zombie? A zombie at the bottom of the sea?"

"So, I have a suspicion,"

Lin Wan said seriously.

"There's likely something beneath this seawater, and! We might have already entered their range!"

"Just now, I really saw a zombie a full two meters tall. He stood there and made eye contact with me. I also saw that he seemed to be smiling at me... but then he disappeared!"

Despite having seen too many bizarre events in the Apocalypse.

That scene just now still turned her face pale with fright. Thinking back to that eerie moment now, she felt her skin crawl!

Everyone wore a solemn expression.

Because they trusted their partner, and Lin Wan would never talk nonsense about such things.

Shi Li released his mental power,

"Lin Wan, I didn't feel anything,"

"Right? Me neither! That's the strange part; we couldn't possibly not sense a zombie that large!"

"It seems we need to take a trip to the seabed!"

"Yeah, we definitely have to go!"

The few of them no longer hesitated. Lin Wan first took them into the space, where they put on the military diving equipment prepared by the base and sat in a submarine.

Although it was the best military submarine, the space was not large.

The six of them were squeezed tightly together. But at a time like this, who would be picky.

"Are you ready... we're about to go into the sea..."

"Yeah."

With a thought from Lin Wan, they entered the sea.

As the submarine slowly descended.

Their expressions became increasingly shocked.

This was about 2000 meters deep on the seabed.

Looking out from the narrow window.

Everywhere they looked, there were densely packed tall zombies!

They were enclosed in large glass jars, row upon row.

Each one was two meters tall, just as Lin Wan had said.

Red eyes shimmered with an eerie light in the black depths of the sea.

Each one had the corners of its mouth upturned, which was extremely eerie.

The submarine was like a tiny boat, drifting in this endless group of tall zombies.

Even though they had strong mental fortitude, they were initially terrified!

Nian Nian, being young after all, felt like she was about to suffocate after just one look. There were zombies in front, behind, left, and right; there was no sound around except for her teammates' breathing.

Her heart raced, and her face instantly turned pale.

Shi Li, sitting opposite her, immediately put the oxygen mask on her,

"Don't be afraid."

Yue Yue was so scared she buried her head in Ji Chuan's chest.

Lin Wan tightly held Shen Mo Chi's hand, gritting her teeth as she took a rough look around.

"This is very likely their Underwater Zombie Base!"

"It seems their virus experiment was successful; these are all weapons being prepared to attack our Huaxia in the future! They are all mutated zombies modified by them!"

"We must find a way to destroy them!"

Yue Yue and Nian Nian calmed down for a moment and had already tried hard to overcome the fear in their hearts.

"Yes, we must destroy them!"

"Look, a corner of that jar over there is broken, as if smashed by a sea monster, so a zombie floated up, which is exactly what I saw!"

"They aren't moving now; some condition probably needs to be triggered, but what could it be?"

"Could it be they only start attacking once they reach land?"

"With so many zombies, I don't know if they can all be taken into the space, but if they can, how should they be handled once inside?"

Lin Wan gritted her teeth,

"Whatever, I'll try first, taking the jars along with them."

"Yeah."

The submarine ascended, and after returning to the boat, Lin Wan and the others put on diving gear, preparing to enter the water.

They had already practiced underwater a thousand times before setting off.

Lin Wan would collect them in front, while the others guarded the rear against emergencies or sea monsters.

However, there were very few mutated sea monsters in this area; they might have taken some measures to protect the zombie swarm.

Lin Wan first touched a jar, and with a thought, she really could collect it.

Now she had no more worries; she swam alone in the depths of the seabed, not daring to stop and unable to stop.

Fortunately, she now possessed Dual-System Abilities, and her mental power was terrifyingly strong.

These large jars were all lined up next to each other, and after two hours, they were all collected.

They surfaced and left as quickly as possible.

Lin Wan was exhausted.

After reaching the nearest coast, they followed the plan and started driving to enter Country M's territory.

Lin Wan took them into the space.

She didn't put them in the supplies area but placed them in the open space at the back.

There were densely packed zombies, a full thirty to forty thousand of them; one could imagine the scene if these zombies were released in Huaxia.

Shi Li's expression was grim.

"We must figure out their trigger mechanism. I believe there must be a Zombie King among them, and this Zombie King should be in Country M!"

"Okay, we must find this Zombie King!"

To be safe, Shen Mo Chi and Ji Chuan set up lightning and Fire Walls around the zombies, enclosing them inside.

They drove for two hours and arrived at the capital of Country M.

This place had just experienced three months of extreme cold.

So as soon as the temperature rose, people came out to look for food.

Gunshots rang out from time to time.

There were many shelters and bases that could be seen everywhere.

There were also many Ability Users killing zombies.

Their group was neatly dressed, and each of them had an extraordinary aura.

In such cold weather, everyone was wearing long, thick black down jackets, thick gloves, masks, and glasses.

Even the large dog following them was wearing a colorful down jacket and a pair of sunglasses.

How could the word 'cool' even describe it?

So, as soon as they arrived, they were targeted by many people.

They were rubbing their hands together, eager to try something.

Until the first suicide squad rushed up, Lin Wan and the others unhesitatingly showed them their Level 7 abilities.

For a time, Ability Users would avoid them when they saw them, let alone ordinary people.

For their first stop, they headed directly toward Country M's military stronghold.

The discovery of the Underwater Zombie Base made them detest this insane country even more.

Shi Li took the map given by the base and led everyone forward.

Upon reaching the vicinity, they first put the car into the space.

Yi Nian used her invisibility to easily see the entry password.

When midnight came, the few of them, under the cover of darkness, took out the guards and entered the armory.

Six floors in total.

Lin Wan collected everything she saw, taking a full two hours to finish.

Immediately after, they went directly to their high-level building.

They heard there was an important meeting today.

It was still Yi Nian who went invisibly to listen to the content of their meeting.

They grasped their important secrets and upcoming moves.

More importantly, the whereabouts of the Zombie King.
