In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Wenren Lei tightly wrapped the water chain around her waist: "Can I faint briefly first?"

"Alright!"

Wenren Lei was just about to lie down and faint.

Yi Yang's voice came through the bracelet again: "Boss &*#@!、/……"

Wenren Lei regained consciousness, gritted her teeth, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "The wind is too strong! I can't hear you! Speak louder!"

Yi Yang raised his voice and shouted, "Boss, how's it going on your end?!"

"That's alright! Get down to business!! Shout louder!!"

Yi Yang's voice was hoarse from shouting, and he said in a broken voice, "The interrogation is almost over!"

Wenren Lei patched up the opening in the protective shield, leaving only a small hole for the water chain to pass through, which reduced the noise inside the shield: "Tell me!"

"The person in charge of supplies is called Lao Dong. He does indeed come from the Cataclysmic Research Institute near Lightrail City." Yi Yang refined the information as much as possible. "As early as four months ago, Cloud Map Base began collecting crystal cores to supply the base with electricity. The research institute had already set its sights on Cloud Map at that time."

"Old Dong was an undercover agent planted by the research institute. He investigated for more than a month before he figured out the secret of the crystal core generator. Then he began to report to the research institute, planning to steal the crystal core generator technology."

"Boss, according to his confession, he followed you and Huang Yijie into a basement and that's how he learned about the crystal core generator."

Wenren Lei chuckled and said, "I'm sorry."

Huang Yijie, now back to normal, spoke in a weak voice: "Brother Lei, don't say that. It was my own fault for not being careful enough."

Wenren Lei said bluntly, "I didn't really mean to apologize, class monitor, please continue."

Yi Yang said, "After you and Brother Yan left the Cloud Map Base, Old Dong discovered a Redstone-level mutated spider on the outskirts of the base. Its ability is to control living people and alter their memories during the period of control through its spider silk."

"At that time, this spider was almost ready to evolve into a zombie king."

"Old Dong reported this matter to the research institute, and the institute sent out a researcher who was a crystal core ability user with fusion capabilities to forcibly fuse with the spider mutant."

"After that, they began to mentally manipulate Huang Yijie."

Yi Yang said quietly, "Old Dong told us that the researcher's strength was slightly inferior to Spider's. After the fusion, Spider took control of the Corpse King fusion. The researcher was just a strategist."

Yi Yang said, "That lizard was indeed an accident. When this fusion was about to evolve into the Corpse King, the spider's temperament became extremely violent, and the researchers could no longer communicate with it."

"The spider found a place it thought was safe in the wild and began to sleep and evolve. The lizard mutant was trying to eat the black, but it was forcibly fused with it."

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow: "It feels like reading a melodramatic love triangle novel."

"Who says otherwise?" Yi Yang said.

Wenren Lei remembered that the 04th branch of the Cataclysmic Research Institute was located near Guanggui City. He met Wenren Yu during the bombing of the 04th branch.

He had already reduced Branch 04 to ruins. The research institute was gone, yet Old Dong was still insisting on carrying out the mission. Was he really that dedicated to his job?

Wenrenlei relayed this question to Yiyang.

After a moment of silence, Yi Yang replied, "I just asked him, and he said that when he received the mission, the research institute was still there, but by the time he returned to report, it had become ruins. Unable to find the organization, he went back to the base to discuss with the researchers, and the two decided to continue controlling Huang Yijie and keep the crystal core power generation technology in their own hands, intending to profit from it."

"Can't find the organization? He's lying," Wenren Lei said. "Keep interrogating him. There must be other branches of the research institute behind him. Make him spill everything. If he doesn't tell the truth, electrocute him."

Yi Yang grinned lewdly: "Yes!"

After Wenren Lei finished speaking, he looked up and saw that the frantically scrambling spider was already showing signs of fatigue. He seized the opportunity, grabbed the water chain, and pulled it back forcefully.

"ah--!!"

With a scream, the giant spider tumbled out of the cloud of spider silk and plummeted straight to the ground.

Wenren Lei and Wen Chi also plummeted rapidly. Wenren Lei gripped the black mist straps tightly: "Old Wen! Don't use your powers anymore! I suspect someone from the research institute is looking for you!"

He had previously overlooked this issue: after Qin Qingqing's death, Wen Chi and the Zero Research Institute were out of contact.

The zombie king experimental subject, cultivated at great cost, has disappeared. Research Institute Zero will definitely send the Cataclysm Research Institute to search for it extensively.

We can't let Wen Chi leave District 11 anymore; the risk of exposure is too great.

Wen Chi responded, "Okay!"

The giant spider crashed into the base's planting area with a loud thud, sending mud flying and smashing the newly sprouted seedlings to pieces.

Wenren Lei and Wen Chi landed on the ground.

Wen Chi swiftly transformed back into human form and charged towards the giant spider before Wenren Lei could even regain her footing: "Kid, step back!"

Wenren Lei shouted, "I told you to keep a low profile!"

"It's not like we'll get hurt this time! Back off and get out of the way!"

As soon as Wen Chi finished speaking, the giant spider was torn in half at the waist.

Wenren Lei rushed over and saw that the giant spider had already been dismembered. He exclaimed in astonishment, "That's it?"

Wen Chi shrugged: "I didn't expect it to be so weak. It's good for nothing except running away and laying eggs."

After saying that, he bent down and reached into the giant spider's body to rummage around.

"Old Wen, what are you doing?"

"Take out the crystal core."

Wenren Lei crouched down, removed his night vision goggles, and examined the spider closely. It had neither human features nor the appearance of a lizard. He frowned and said, "This form...it's not what a fusion should look like, is it?"

Wen Chi straightened up: "There is no crystal core."

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow: "It's a clone."

The giant spider's body quickly shriveled up in front of the two people, and soon turned into a large lump of flesh.

Wenren laughed through her tears: "It flew in the sky for half a day, only to find out it was just playing a trick on me."

"This spider must be what the Corpse King uses to create clones." Wen Chi wiped the blood from his hands onto his coat. "If we can find the Corpse King's main body now, we can easily kill it. It created too many clones today, consuming a lot of energy, and it's currently weak."

Wenren Lei took out a new coat and two large packs of alcohol wipes from her spatial storage: "Use these to wipe your hands."

I thought I had found the Corpse King, but it turned out to be just a clone.

Wenren Lei couldn't help but feel irritated. She stood up, turned around, and left the messy planting area: "Back to the banquet hall."

Wen Chi changed his coat and took out an alcohol wipe to clean his hands: "I'll go check the place where the spider eggs were laid again."

"Don't go. You'd better disguise yourself as an ordinary human being and don't even show your face."

Wenren Lei walked faster and faster, using the wall as leverage to leap up and rush towards the banquet hall at full speed.

"What's the rush?" Wen Chi caught up.

Wenren Lei's heart was pounding rapidly.

He finally had time to sort out the current situation.
