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

With the emergence of a new zombie king, the major bases will not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

In order to protect the Corpse King, the research institute will definitely send more people to infiltrate the Cloud Map base to control the situation.

The heavy snow has been relentless for days, and even the survivor queue at the entrance of District 11 is shrinking rapidly.

The number of people coming to seek refuge at the Cloud Map Base has not decreased but increased, and there are even many new superhumans. Huang Yijie has even taken a bath.

Most of these new recruits to the base were probably sent by the research institute.

The superhumans who come out of the research institute are all crystal core superhumans who eat people and drink blood.

Everyone in the base is now in the banquet hall, which means that he has unintentionally locked up his enemies and his own people together.

"I did something wrong." Wenren Lei's voice trembled slightly.

Wen Chi immediately noticed that Wenren Lei was not in a good condition, so he reached out and picked him up by the waist, then carried him on his back: "Go get the stabilizing medicine yourself."

Wen Chi ran frantically toward the banquet hall. His nephew was on the verge of collapse, and Wen Chi's first thought was to find Fu Yan.

Wenren Lei's condition deteriorated rapidly; even his fingers were trembling. He took out the concentrated liquid from his spatial storage and shakily poured it into his mouth.

"So what if you did something wrong? Your uncle and Fu Yan will take the blame for you," Wen Chi said.

"Uncle..." Wenren Lei trembled as she lay on Wen Chi's back, feeling as if her very soul was shaking.

Having survived the apocalypse to this day, he has killed countless zombies and executed countless villains, never showing any mercy.

But if his misjudgment led to the death of innocent people, he could never convince himself to pretend that nothing had happened.

Wen Chi suddenly stopped in his tracks and stood still.

"Tears." Fu Yan's voice suddenly came over.

Wenren Lei looked up and saw Fu Yan standing in front of her, holding an umbrella, under the dim streetlights.

"Brother Yan... what brings you here?"

Fu Yan felt a sharp pain in his head and rushed out of the banquet hall.

He gently touched Wenrenlei's face and said softly, "Everyone in the hall has been purified, so I came out to find you. Why are you crying?"

"Huh?" Wenren Lei raised his hand and wiped his face. He hadn't realized that so many tears had flowed out.

Fu Yan took him from Wen Chi's back and carried him horizontally in his arms: "Uncle, you go back to the hall first."

Wen Chi nodded and slipped away in the blink of an eye.

Only Wenren Lei and Fu Yan remained in the snow.

Fu Yan lowered his umbrella, conjuring a protective shield to shield himself from the snow. He gently weighed Wenren Lei in his hand: "Are you scared?"

Wenren Lei snapped out of her daze and said quickly, "There are people from the research institute in the hall!"

Fu Yan removed his mask and wiped away the tear stains on his face with his thumb: "I know, Leilei, I know everything."

Wenren Lei was slightly taken aback, sniffed, and asked, "How did you know?"

Fu Yan held him and walked slowly toward the banquet hall: "You mentioned in the bracelet that Old Dong has another research institute behind him, so I know that too many people have joined the Cloud Map Base recently."

Wenren Lei clutched his clothes tightly: "What should we do? I've brought the sheep and the wolf together."

"Don't worry." Fu Yan's voice was slow and steady. "I told the base commander about this as soon as possible. He and Lao Hei at the registration desk at the entrance have used the excuse of selecting people to go out on patrol to pick out all the people who are suspected to be from the research institute."

"These people have been taken to other rooms by Yi Yang and knocked unconscious with electricity." Fu Yan raised his hand and flicked the tip of his nose. "In order not to arouse suspicion from the people at the research institute, the base director also specially selected some real base residents to be knocked unconscious along with them."

Wenren Lei burst into laughter through her tears, then lowered her head and whispered, "I made a mistake. I'm not a qualified captain."

"Of course you're a qualified captain," Fu Yan said confidently. "If you hadn't exposed Lao Dong's lie, we would have all been fooled."

After saying that, he humbly asked, "I would also like to ask this clever squad leader, how did you know that Old Dong was lying?"

Wenren Lei buried her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "The Redstone-level spiders have independent wills now. Old Dong himself said that the researcher is just a strategist, and the real power lies with the spiders."

"I'm thinking, if the research institute doesn't offer tangible benefits, why would the powerful Spider obediently cooperate with Lao Dong?"

"The crystal core generator needs a sufficient amount of crystal cores to operate, so it's essentially competing with the Corpse King for resources. The giant spider doesn't need the crystal core generator."

After saying that, Wenren Lei involuntarily sobbed.

Fu Yan lowered his head and kissed his forehead: "That's right. During the second interrogation, Lao Dong confessed honestly that after we destroyed Branch 04, Branch 66 took over the crystal core power generation task and continued to have business dealings with the Spider Corpse King, making it work for the research institute."

Fu Yan chuckled lightly: "You thought it through so thoroughly, yet you completely negate yourself just because of one mistake. My Leilei, why are you so harsh on yourself?"

Wenren Lei kept her head down and remained silent, but two tears secretly welled up in her eyes.

Fu Yan hugged him and gently rocked him: "Each of our teammates is an independent individual. They have thoughts and the ability to act. No one can be perfect in everything. The meaning of teammates is to fill in the gaps in each other's attention. Don't put all the burdens on your own shoulders. Try to truly cooperate with everyone."

Wenren Lei looked up at Fu Yan and asked, "Shall we cooperate?"

Upon closer examination, the ability to quickly control the mole within the research institute was the result of collaboration among many individuals.

He really shouldn't have always treated his teammates as simply people who needed protection and guidance.

"I understand." Wenren Lei buried her face back in Fu Yan's arms and rubbed against him affectionately. "This time, our cooperation went very well."

Fu Yan smiled and said, "Flawless."

Wenren Lei bumped her head against Fu Yan's chest: "Old Wen and I were played by the Corpse King for a long time. That giant spider that was toying with us all over the sky turned out to be just a clone of the Corpse King."

Fu Yan said, "Once we catch the real thing, we'll turn it into mincemeat and feed it to the meatballs."

Wenren Lei's laughter was muffled in Fu Yan's arms: "Wanzi hates its meat."

"Then let's take it back to Area 11 to feed the sheep."

Fu Yan carried Wenren Lei for a walk outside for a while until his emotions calmed down and the pain in his head completely disappeared before returning to the banquet hall.

Standing in front of the heavy hall door, Wenren Lei jumped down from Fu Yan's arms.

Do I look normal?

"It's normal." Fu Yan raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of his eye with his thumb.

"I'm gone."

Wenren Lei raised her hand, lifted the bracelet, and pressed the communication button: "Open the door."

The door was quickly opened from the inside, and Han Mingjie, her mask completely on, held up a flashlight: "Do you know what I mean?"

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow: "Go ahead and investigate. You recovered quite quickly."

Please do not try to get too close.
