Looking at the mutated giant python lying in a pool of blood, Lu Chuan felt immense joy, another Level 3 Crystal Core added to his collection.

It was strange how this Level 3 mutated python was unfortunate.

Of all the abilities to evolve, it chose the poison mist ability.

The Corpse Puppets under his command were completely unafraid of poison mist.

If this Level 3 python could evolve like the previous Level 3 tiger, developing abilities like frost that could affect Corpse Puppets.

It wouldn't have been killed by the Corpse Puppets in mere moments, at least it could have lasted for a dozen minutes.

Maneuvering ten Corpse Puppets, he walked to the python's side, observing the python lying in the pool of blood; Lu Chuan carefully scrutinized for a few moments, noticing the python died tragically.

The black scales meant to protect the flesh were almost entirely sliced open by Lightning One and the other Corpse Puppets, leaving no intact spots on its body.

Wounds blossoming with blood flowers, deep enough to show bone, tender flesh cut open by steel knives, smooth on both sides like a mirror, with threads of fresh blood seeping from the white flesh.

The python's head was battered beyond recognition by Da Pang and the others, the flesh and scales covering the skull turned into a mess of disordered flesh under the immense force of the impact.

The python's two eye sockets were shattered, the serpent pupils blasted open, leaving only two bloody holes.

"Good heavens, I wonder if this python was beaten to death by Da Pang and the others or sliced with too many cuts by Lightning One and the others, dying from excessive blood loss!"

Lu Chuan smacked his lips, no longer dwelling on it, directly maneuvering Lightning One and the others to cleave open the python's head and extract the essential Level 3 Crystal Core.

Next was processing the Level 3 mutated python's carcass.

Ordering Da Pang and Er Pang to carry the mutated python, Lu Chuan manipulated the Corpse Puppets to walk out of the mountain.

After packing all the hunted Fierce Beasts into vehicles, the convoy started its return to Qingshui Farm.

At Qingshui Farm, Lu Chuan began processing the mutated python's carcass.

Though the flesh of a Level 3 Mutant Beast is excellent, the python could spew poison mist, so its flesh likely contains mild toxicity, Lu Chuan dared not feed it to Little Qiqi.

Lu Chuan only extracted the venom sac larger than a barrel, perhaps useful later.

The rest of the python's body was cut into many pieces and placed in the vehicle.

He planned to use this flesh entirely to feed zombies.

The flesh of Level 3 mutated Fierce Beasts is highly effective in promoting zombie evolution.

Lu Chuan estimated this truckload of Level 3 flesh would likely cause a surge in the number of evolved zombies within the stadium.

After processing all brought-back Fierce Beasts, the transport convoy set off again towards the Jiangnan City District stadium to feed the zombies inside.

At the stadium, Tyrant One opened the door, scattering the Level 3 flesh onto the zombie horde from the small vehicle.

Instantly, the zombies pounced madly towards the Level 3 flesh like cats smelling fish, instinctively drawn to consume the flesh to enhance and evolve themselves.

The entire stadium erupted into chaos, with Level 3 flesh fiercely contested among zombies; for a piece of flesh, three or four zombies started biting each other, fighting relentlessly.

A full half-hour passed before the chaos in the stadium finally settled, with the Level 3 flesh entirely devoured.

Using Tyrant One's perspective, observing the stadium now beginning to house many more evolved zombies brought Lu Chuan satisfaction.

Level 3 flesh works wonders indeed!

"Seems like I can harvest again in a few days!"

...

In a private room of a makeshift restaurant in Jianghai Base City.

Wang Lei successfully invited the remaining members of the Invisibility Squad for a drink.

To learn the truth from their mouths, he deliberately spiked the wine bottles with special sedatives.

This sedative comes from a mutant plant known as Illusory Flower Vine, whose flowers can induce temporary unconsciousness, placing one in a half-awake, half-asleep state, which Base City researchers discovered accidentally.

To make it convincing, Wang Lei preemptively took the antidote made from Illusory Flower Vine seeds.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Captain's death is partly my fault. If I hadn't misjudged and reported false information, Base City wouldn't have sent Liu Captain and you all to the Jiangnan City District, and he wouldn't have died at the hands of evolved zombies."

With a face full of remorse, Wang Lei made a self-punishment toast and gulped down.

Listening to Wang Lei's words, the four members of the Invisibility Squad felt guilty.

Liu Captain wasn't killed by evolved zombies; that was merely their excuse to conceal the truth.

"What's Captain Wang's intent by inviting us for drinks? Is he suspicious?"

Li Ying raised his wine glass slowly, speculating internally.

"It's probably straightforward drinking... Liu Captain wasn't killed by us, so we said that just to survive!"

Another squad member covertly glanced at Wang Lei's face, noticing no oddities, and felt significant relief.

The other two, seeing Wang Lei seemingly not suspicious, simultaneously relaxed too.

"Come, let's all have a toast to Captain Liu!"

Wang Lei raised another glass, inviting the four to drink together.

The four naturally couldn't let Wang Lei spot anything unusual, thus hesitantly drinking along with him.

After just a while, three glasses in, the four fell unconscious.

Wang Lei, previously smiling with his glass raised, suddenly became silent, his smile fading as he set down the glass, gazing coldly at the four.

Their behavior during the drinking seemed odd, especially when he mentioned Liu Captain, their expressions appeared unnatural.

At this point, though he hadn't yet extracted the truth from them, Wang Lei was now convinced there was definitely a problem.

"Captain Chen, I'll trouble you now."

Wang Lei politely spoke.

As the words fell, a figure walked inside from outside the door.

This was a middle-aged man with a plump appearance and a beer belly.

Captain Chen awakened with the ability of hypnosis, dedicated to interrogating criminals and evolvers who committed major crimes.

Wang Lei managed to invite Captain Chen due to their private acquaintance; early in the apocalypse, Wang Lei saved Captain Chen from evolved zombies.

"Haha, Wang, you're too kind!"

Captain Chen chuckled.

He didn't waste words and started working promptly.

Subsequently, Captain Chen propped up an Invisibility member onto the chair, began wielding his ability.

An invisible force flowed into the individual's mind.

"Tell me, how did your Liu Captain die?"

This Invisibility member, eyes closed and seemingly asleep, spoke like sleep-talking, mouthing silently: "Little girl... a little girl..."

On hearing, Wang Lei's eyes widened!

"A little girl?"

Definitely problematic!
