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

Huang Yijie swallowed the meat, his Adam's apple bobbing, and tears streamed down his face from the stench. He shakily raised his hand, pointing at Wenren Lei: "Big brother, you, you, you, ugh—"

Wenren Lei released her grip and looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to spit out the hairball.

Huang Yijie dry heaved for a long time, and even after being infected with the zombie virus and turning into a pot-lid zombie, he didn't vomit up any more hairballs.

Fu Yan quickly stepped forward and pressed him down, activating his purification ability to cover his entire body.

"That doesn't make sense." Wenren Lei adjusted the non-existent detective's glasses. "Since the spider webs have been cleared away, how could he only remember taking the manuscript?"

Fu Yan said in a deep voice, "There is only one possibility: when he was controlled by the spider silk, he did only do this one thing."

Wen Renlei was slightly taken aback, but then her heart suddenly felt clear.

That makes sense. This giant spider can only alter a person's memories while they are under its control, but it cannot read memories from a person's mind.

Otherwise, it would only control Huang Yijie and observe what he was thinking every day.

Huang Yijie had to remain fully conscious while talking to the fake Fu Yunyi in order to fully explain the crystal core power generation technology to the so-called Fu Yunyi, so he was not controlled during the call.

The plot to frame Lu Shen and the act of having Lao Dong tip off Kong Lu are all Kong Lu's side of the story.

Although Lao Dong admitted that Huang Yijie asked him to cooperate with Kong Lu, it's hard to say whether Lao Dong was lying.

This whole series of events was probably planned by Kong Lu alone from beginning to end, and Huang Yijie was completely unaware of it.

Taking advantage of Huang Yijie's amnesia, Kong Lu pinned all the blame for her own actions on Huang Yijie.

As for the mysterious Corpse King, all it needs to do is find the right opportunity, take advantage of Huang Yijie being alone in the place where the manuscript is hidden, and briefly control him to take out the manuscript.

"Hmm?" Wenren Lei's eyes widened slightly. How come the testimonies of Lao Dong and Kong Lu, these two liars, match up perfectly?

Could it be that Lao Dong and Kong Lu are collaborating...?

Wenren Lei suddenly realized something: she was the researcher at the research institute who had the ability to fuse.

Wenren Lei had always believed that the Corpse King Fusion was lurking outside the banquet hall.

But is it possible that the Corpse King infiltrated the banquet hall from the very beginning, hiding right under everyone's noses?

Wenren Lei's gaze was once again fixed on Kong Lu, whose black windbreaker looked somewhat loose on her.

The Corpse King had keen hearing, so Wenren Lei dared not make a sound. He silently took out paper and pen and wrote quickly, then poked Fu Yan.

[Brother Yan, when you were cleaning up the residents' sanitation, were there any leaks in the sanitation vents?]

Fu Yangang had just finished purifying Huang Yijie's body and was wiping his hands with an alcohol wipe when he leaned down slightly to read the words on the paper. He then picked up a pen and wrote:

She is not infected with the virus and does not need to be purified.

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow. He had personally stuffed the Corpse King's flesh into Kong Lu's mouth and watched her swallow it.

If she doesn't turn into a zombie, it can only prove that she herself is a zombie.

Looking back on the details, Kong Lu never coughed throughout the entire crisis. She had also been unusually compliant when he tried to tie her up earlier.

The normal reaction would be like that of Chi Qingmo and the other residents: an instinctive resistance to being tied up.

Kong Lu's calmness probably stemmed from her trying too hard to appear normal.

So, was he feeding the Corpse King slices of flesh just now?

Wenren Lei pursed her lips and chuckled to herself. She wrote a line on a piece of paper and held it up in front of Huang Yijie.

When did Kong Lu join the base?

Huang Yijie's face turned deathly pale from the purification process. He blinked as he looked at the paper, then thought for a moment and said, "Yes..."

"Tsk." Wenren Lei tapped Huang Yijie's head with the pen.

Huang Yijie covered his head, took the pen, and wrote down his distinctive cursive script.

Wenren Lei took the paper and closed her eyes briefly, stung by the handwriting. Some of the science geniuses' handwriting was so ugly it was almost touching.

He stared at those lines of text for a long time before he could understand what they said.

[When you and Brother Yan stayed at Grandma Li's house before, she even brought you daily supplies.]

Fragments of images flashed through Wenren Lei's mind; it was indeed true. Back then, Kong Lu wasn't so thin, and her expression was gentler.

He looked at Huang Yijie with pity. If that were the case, Kong Lu would probably have already been replaced by the Corpse King after it fused with the lizard mutant.

If the Corpse King uses his chameleon ability to disguise himself, his face probably won't have any reflective scales, and no one will be able to tell anything is wrong.

Even Huang Yijie, who's obsessed with love, couldn't tell the difference; that's really impressive.

However, all of this is just Wenrenlei's speculation, and some empirical evidence is still needed.

Wenren Lei waved her hand: "Huang Yijie, go find your brother."

Huang Yijie was looking at Kong Lu, whom he had been longing for, when he heard the voice and turned around to ask, "Why?"

Wenren Lei kindly lied, "Your brother needs to talk to you about something."

The real reason was that Huang Yijie was afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it when they beat up Kong Lu later.

"Okay." Huang Yijie jogged out.

The hall door opened, and after Huang Yijie left, the door slammed shut again.

Wenren Lei raised her bracelet: "Squad leader, Huang Yijie came to find you. Find him something to do."

"Understood," Yi Yang replied.

Kong Lu was ten meters away. Wenren Lei's gaze was fixed on her. He turned his head and whispered to Fu Yan, "Brother Yan, bring Kong Lu here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kong Lu suddenly turned her head and looked directly into Wenren Lei's eyes.

Her hearing was indeed ridiculously strong. Wenren Lei looked at her and smiled, then said softly, "You've given yourself away."

A look of disbelief flashed across Kong Lu's face as she suddenly turned and ran wildly toward the window.

In an instant, Fu Yan stood behind Kong Lu, grabbed her shoulder, and pulled her back hard.

Kong Lu lost her balance, her knees hit the ground hard, and she slid backward several meters on her knees until she hit the wall and stopped.

She lowered her head and chuckled softly. When she looked up again, her eyes were brimming with tears, and her words were tinged with anger as she shouted, "What kind of man are you to bully a girl like me?!"

Fu Yan didn't give her a chance to stir up trouble. He directly raised earthen shields around the residents, preventing them from seeing what was happening here.

Surrounded by earthen shields, the residents immediately began to murmur and chatter.

Wenren Lei instructed, "Old Meng and Old Han, go inside the shield wall and keep an eye on the residents."

The two of them leaped into the earthen shield.

Fu Yan swung out the Thunderfire Rope, binding Kong Lu so tightly that she couldn't move at all.

Kong Lu collapsed to the ground, struggling, and cried out in terror, "What did I do wrong? Why are you doing this to me?!"

With a wall behind her, Kong Lu had nowhere to retreat, and her body was tightly bound by the lightning-fire ropes, limiting even her struggles. "What do you want?!" she shouted, turning to the door. "Huang Yijie! Save me!"

Wenren Lei sighed softly, "Little Yellow Hair, so tragic."
