Become a zombie and be sliced ​​into pieces, then be reborn to raise a boss

Chapter 196 Song Qi Arrives
The vines wove a small basket themselves, filled it with the dug-out crystal cores, and handed it to their owner.

I rubbed my fingertips together, bent down to look at the uncleaned crystal core. The stench was negligible; I was already used to it.

The dirty crystal core didn't look unusual, and there was no purplish-black flowing substance in sight, but just to be on the safe side, she didn't recklessly absorb it directly.

She straightened up and patted Xing Xiao, who was squatting beside her right leg, "Go find the round ball and the balloon, then we'll head back to base." She didn't know what was wrong with this child; she just liked to squat next to her.

Xing Xiao, who was leaning against her sister's leg, had her eyes light up the moment she heard that they were going back to the base. "Okay! I'll do whatever you say, sister."

The path back to the top of the mountain was smoother than the way up, so it didn't take the two of them long to get up. The two balls heard the sound and cautiously poked their heads out. When they saw that it was the leader, they immediately darted out from the bushes.

I don't know what time it is, and I'm too lazy to take out a clock to check. I just start a fire and cook by feel, and I make two boxes of self-heating hot pot and a bag of snail rice noodles. I pull out the small table and put them out.

I remember there was still a lot of cooked food I hadn't eaten. After searching around, I found a big plate of boneless chicken feet, which were even Sichuan peppercorn flavored.

Cook some snail rice noodles in a pot, put two boxes of self-heating hot pot on the table to cook, sit in a small chair and eat chicken feet, and you can also take out crayfish from your storage space.

Xing Xiao can't eat cooked food, but she can peel crayfish for her older sister. The two girls also picked their own fruit for their older sister as an after-dinner treat.

The food was served to me in a very pleasant way. Soon the snail rice noodles and hot pot were ready. The noodles were coated in red oil and looked incredibly delicious.

Although Xing Xiao and the two balls couldn't eat cooked food, they could drink beverages, so she brought out three boxes of juice for them, so now they all had something to eat.

While eating, I kept an eye on the marine research base in the distance. Although I couldn't see it very clearly and couldn't see the subtle changes, the base was located on a large plain, so I could see any vehicles passing by.

I was only halfway through my meal when I saw a car parked at the entrance of the base. The base was already abandoned, yet someone still came here. They must have been the ones who left the zombies behind!

Two vehicles that had come from GR's headquarters stopped at the entrance of the research base. Seven or eight people got out, unloaded the iron boxes that were being towed behind them, and could hear a slight tapping sound coming from inside.

At this moment, Song Qi got out of the car and walked into the base. He found a large pit that had been dug out, squatted down and grabbed a handful of fresh mud. There wasn't much white frost on it, so it was clear that it had just been dug out not long ago.

I got up and walked two to three meters forward. The cracks in the ground were still fresh, indicating that someone had triggered a mechanism in the laboratory, but only one layer was activated.

Walking about five meters to the left along the crack, the fresh mud was covered with only a thin layer of white frost. This location seemed to be one of the compartments in the laboratory where zombies were kept.

"Let's dig it up and see what's going on." Among the people who came with them was an earth-type ability user. For them, dealing with so much mud was just a matter of lifting a hand.

In just ten or twenty seconds, all the mud that Ji Xiyun had filled in was removed, revealing a batch of zombie test subjects that had lost their crystal cores.

On the surface, there was no damage whatsoever; almost all of them were fatal blows, instantly scooping out the crystal cores from the heads. Song Qi was puzzled.

Normally, the zombies here would immediately go berserk and attack indiscriminately if anyone disturbed them, but that's not the case now. They seem to be frozen in place, and then their crystal cores can be dug out without any effort.

There are generally only three possibilities for this situation. One is that their own people controlled them, but the probability of this is zero, because this laboratory has become a warehouse for GR to store experimental samples, and no one of their own people has been left behind. The second possibility is that their own kind triggered the mechanism, and then their own kind mined the crystal core. This possibility is also very small, since there are no traces left by their own kind on them.

Furthermore, their average level is around level six. Those who can instantly control their kind must be at least level eight or higher. There aren't many of their kind above level eight, and most of them are under their control, so we can exclude them.

The third scenario is what they most hope for: their target, Ji Xiyun, has arrived.

After all, the doctor knew that she was half-human and half-corpse, and could perfectly control zombies, and even the monsters that came out of their laboratory.

Combined with the clean and efficient way of extracting crystal cores, it can be confirmed that Ji Xiyun must have been here not long ago, but it is unknown whether she absorbed any crystal cores.

Guessing that the person hadn't gone far, Song Qi devised a plan to lure Ji Xiyun into a trap. There wasn't much that could attract Ji Xiyun, but now he had no choice but to take a gamble.

"Open it, let him out."

The bell tower rang, and thanks to the loudspeaker, even Ji Xiyun, who was on the mountaintop, heard it.

The distant chimes suddenly rang out and spread so far that if she thought they had nothing to do with the people in those cars, she would have jumped down on the spot.

The four bat monsters hanging upside down were awakened by the noise. They spread their dark gray wings and flew into the air, instinctively pouncing on Song Qi and his group. They hadn't eaten fresh flesh and blood for a long time.

The bone whistle rang out again with a clear sound. The bone whistle in Song Qi's hand was different from Gao Muxuan's. On the red body, purple and black intertwined to form purple mist patterns. When it was blown, it would also flash with a purple light.

Just as the monster's gaping maw was about to bite off Song Qi's head, the bat monster hovered above his head, making no further movement, behaving extremely obediently.

"let's start!"

After clearing the battlefield, Song Qi led his men into the bell tower, where they waited patiently for Song Qi to be released and fight like a trapped beast.

A particularly disheveled figure was seen lying on the edge of the stone slab. His body, which had been stitched up and modified, was exceptionally sturdy. Although he had not yet fully stood up, his height could be estimated to be at least 2.1 meters.

In the ruins reminiscent of an arena, a bat-like monster lunges at a person lying prone, its sharp claws tearing through his back, from which black blood gushes out.

Another bat monster swooped down, its steel claws grabbing his head and attempting to violently rip it off.

The intense pulling force brought him back to his senses. He grabbed the bat monster that was holding the back of its neck and flung it more than ten meters away with explosive force, even hitting a bat monster that was holding the line.

The person who looked up angrily revealed his full face. With familiar eyebrows and eyes, it was none other than He Tianxiao, who had escaped from Cangmu Mountain. This time, he had changed even more. It was obvious without anyone saying it out loud that he had indeed been captured and brought back to the laboratory.

The bat monster that had scratched him attacked again, but He Tianxiao was prepared. He gathered a powerful ball of lightning in his hand and swung it out like a meteor, striking the bat monster's head hard.

The winged opponent was exceptionally agile. The lightning ball missed its target and exploded through the ruins. From a distance, the dust and the raging lightning contained a violent force.
