"Thirty-seven."

"I've got thirty-eight, I win."

"Psh – liar, let me count."

Just as the two had finished clearing out the zombies and were taking a breather,

the small iron door of the factory was opened from the inside, and then a chubby black man carefully poked his head out and waved at the two men continuously.

"Come in quick, come in quick."

Tao Yu and Jack had just finished clearing out the zombies when this fat man appeared; it was obvious that he had been monitoring them the whole time.

As they entered, the fat man also gently closed the small door behind them, careful not to make any noise that might attract the zombies from afar.

"Hello, my name is Jam, I'm just a regular security guard at the lab, usually in charge of things like access control."

The inside of the factory appeared quite ordinary, but you could see that it was used to store food supplies, a large quantity of beautiful, individually packaged rations, and canned goods filled the shelves; it's no wonder this chubby fellow was so well-fed.

At least they didn't have to worry about food and drink.

"How are things inside? How many people are left? Has there been any outbreak of infection down there?"

asked Tao Yu.

"There are seven people left. There used to be more, but those who tried to break out have turned into the zombies that you two killed outside."

"With so much food, you still thought to break out? Outside is a real hell!"

Jack was also surprised to find such an abundance of food here!

The magnitude of the initial explosion had been quite misleading.

"Ah, you'll see when you come down. I'm just a security guard, I don't know how to explain to you."

"Anyway, whatever you're here for this time, we'll cooperate with you on anything you want, we've long lost contact with the upper levels..."

The black man Jam sighed, resigned to the situation.

This made Tao Yu frown slightly; such a resigned fellow was intent on getting out?

Something abnormal must have happened in the lab below.

The entrance to the lab was parallel to the forklift garage, the entire garage being a lift for convenient transport of experimental equipment—it was very spacious.

However, as the lift descended below, a feeling of gloom hit them.

The dimness of the emergency lights gave off a vibe of the Underworld, and several people were already waiting at the elevator doors.

When the elevator doors opened, a chill ran down Tao Yu's spine—his Spirit Perception was warning him of danger here!

It even triggered Bullet Time, almost making him ready to employ Shadow Evasion while preparing to reach for his gun.

But then he realized the danger wasn't coming from the group coming to greet them.

He stopped reaching for his gun.

The survivors, unaware they'd just dodged a bullet due to the dim light, approached and began talking all at once.

"You guys are so strong!"

"Shh—quiet, we need to keep our voices down here, otherwise we'll wake 'it' up."

"Can you find a way to get us out? We'll get whatever you want."

"..."

The crowd circled around them, speaking over one another, creating a cluttered atmosphere. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I want to know what exactly happened here? Why do we have to whisper, and what is 'that thing'?"

Tao Yu and Jack stepped away from the elevator and asked seriously.

Jack, who had been surveying the area and recalling the last visit, turned to Tao Yu and whispered,

"What's up? Is there a problem?"

He had a lot of respect for Tao Yu. Though a bit of a freak, with questionable tastes, he was reliable and had a good physique.

"Yeah, let's first hear what they have to say."

"That thing is a Corpse King, and it's one of the sources of the apocalypse, secretly brought here for research."

"But with the external power supply cut off, and the internal backup generator running out of fuel, we lost control over it. Now it's locked behind the third isolation door..."

a middle-aged woman, likely a researcher familiar with the situation, whispered.

"Corpse King? The source?"

Tao Yu was somewhat surprised, having thought it was a typical zombie virus; the presence of a Corpse King was unexpected!

And the fact that he could feel a faint threat just being here meant it was probably quite troublesome, definitely not your average zombie.

Jack was also surprised on the side,

"The source? When did you discover it?"

At those words, the researcher looked embarrassed and then replied quietly,

"A couple months before the apocalypse became widespread. I'm just a researcher, I didn't know it would turn out like this."

Hearing this, Tao Yu and Jack looked skyward in speechlessness.

Only big and beautiful, huh?

No wonder there hadn't been any crises erupting from this lab; the issues came after the power went out, revealing their well-prepared defense measures were in place.

"We found many oddities during later research, and it must have been someone spreading it purposely—the near simultaneous global outbreak is too exaggerated; there must be more than one Corpse King."

The researcher went on to explain the possibility of an internal betrayer among humanity.

This gave Tao Yu pause, his mind racing to the information he had received from the deceased lizard tycoon,

'The 'Fortune Thief' favored by the Abyss...'

Why would the Abyss favor the 'Fortune Thief'?

He also thought of Cao Shaolin, this...

Maybe he was overthinking it.

But for the moment, such levels of issues were not his concern; when the sky falls, tall people will handle it. He came here to make money, all for that one Meteorite.
