Xiaoyun slowly nodded, unable to hide his face, desperate, wanting to know the answer.

"It\'s simple. The zombies were there the whole time. The squad you sent simply didn\'t see it."

"What do you mean they didn\'t see it? I sent an entire recording team, and it showed that the metro was emptied."

Xiaoyun argued back, remembering the footage and all of the recordings that showed the event.

"Okay, I shouldn\'t have said it like that... The squad you sent inside can\'t see the zombies, no matter what.

They are all invisible until something awakens them. Chen Gang and I actually tried to tell your soldier to leave.

But they didn\'t understand our hint and kept on going... Next thing you know, one of your soldiers had some sort of wound on their body.

The blood instantly activated all of the zombies, making them visible as they chased down the entire metro before killing them."

"Huh? That kind of mutation exists?"

XIaoyun awkwardly scratched his head as he barely heard of zombies that don\'t move on purpose.

The only ones that came to mind are the crying Witch in tight corners and the Nightstalker, who stands underneath the lamppost at night.

But neither of them could turn invisible, at least according to his memories.

"All I can tell you is that the zombies can naturally mutate... Not all of them are from the lab."

"How?"

"I don\'t know. I\'m not a scientist. I just overheard them saying that the zombies have been getting stronger and stronger."

Liu Peng paused for a second, then continued.

"But I have a little theory... Zombies can actually increase their mutating speed by eating other zombies."

"What? But they don\'t attack each other." Xiaoyun questioned.

"Yes, they don\'t attack each other. But that doesn\'t mean they can\'t die in other ways.

Human kills them, and sometimes, they are just dumb enough to fall off somewhere high."

Liu Peng\'s explanation made Xiaoyun slowly nod in agreement as he remembered seeing zombies eating corpses.

"Also, another thing, humans that turn into zombies, the later human lives, the higher the chance for mutation if they get bitten."

Within seconds, it immediately raised an alarm bell inside Xiaoyun\'s head.

He could still remember the alternate universe version of himself, stating how many settlements across the country collapsed.

Considering the pace at which the zombies are evolving now, it was only a matter of time before being mutant zombies became the new normal.

"Shit... I really am against the clock."

As Xiaoyun\'s mind already started thinking of ways to increase the speed of clearing the city, Liu Peng spoke up again.

"One last important thing... I\'m not sure how to put this, but the secret society has control over the nuclear facility in Taishan."

"The what!"

Xiaoyun immediately sat up from his seat in shock, unable to believe what Liu Peng had just said out loud.

"Calm down. They aren\'t actually using the nuclear facility to destroy the world, at least I think."

"What do you mean think? Can you imagine how dangerous it is for a terrorist organization to get a hold of that?"

"Well, that\'s not my problem. I\'m not even really a human anymore."

Seeing Liu Peng leaning back and relaxing, Xiaoyun really wanted to take his gun out and pull the trigger.

But he held down the urge as he took a deep breath before looking over to Chen Gang.

"When is he going to wake up?"

"About a day or so. At least that\'s what the doctor said... Oh, and one last thing."

"How many one last thing do you have?"

"I swear this is the last one... Do you want to know how we found out how you have so many spies?"

Xiaoyun nodded, but Liu Peng remained silent as if he wanted some sort of prize for it.

"Fine, I\'ll fulfill a promise as long as it is within the limit."

"I want to kill Katherine."

Xiaoyun froze for a second, sitting silently as if he was seriously considering the offer.

"Why?"

"Because she\'s the one who told us to go to that stupid lab... We know she probably didn\'t know we were going to end up like this.

But she\'s still the root cause. The number of things she had done in the dark, I bet you would be disgusted by it, too."

Just as Liu Peng was about to continue, a gun suddenly appeared right against his forehead.

"Say a single word, and your head is going to be blown apart."

"Okay, okay. Nevermind. I take back what I said earlier. I won\'t say a single word about Katherine."

After Liu Peng backed down and raised his hand into the air, Xiaoyun finally lowered his gun aside.

"Now, tell me how you found those people out?"

"It\'s simple. What do you think Chen Gang and I wear these cloaks for? With a press of a button——"

Right before Xiaoyun\'s eye, Liu Peng vanished from thin air. But he could tell he was still there.

"Just being invisible catches almost everyone off guard... We actually took a long time to get used to this thing."

"Does anyone else have this?" Xiaoyun asked.

"The secret society has a few, but they are in extremely limited supply. So I don\'t have a spare one for you."

As Liu Peng reappeared, he suddenly let out a small chuckle.

"Hey Xiaoyun, you are a mutant as well, aren\'t you?"

"What makes you think that?" Xiaoyun curiously asked, seemingly a little surprised that he thought that.

"Because that gun... It was way too fast for humans, at least for now. You survived being bitten?"

"Are there people who survived being bitten?"

"Nope. Zero. But I had seen a few who maintain their consciousness after becoming a zombie."

"I\'m not a mutant. I\'m just faster than other people... I have never been bitten before."

Xiaoyun\'s answer didn\'t seem to convince Liu Peng, but he really wasn\'t in a position to question back.

"Anyway, I\'m going to go back to the tent. If you need me, just come over."

"Okay."

Just as Xiaoyun turned around and started heading towards the tent, he suddenly felt a cold metal slither around the back of his neck.

"What\'s this for?" Xiaoyun curiously asked, not turning around.

"Just a precaution."

Hearing Chen Gang\'s voice, Xiaoyun sighed as he raised both of his hands into the air before turning around.

"I already said I\'m going to pardon you both. Why do you need to threaten me like this?"

Right on the bed was Chen Gan, sitting upright almost as if he had been awake the whole time.

"I should have mentioned Chen Gang can read minds. We know you wanted to kill us when you heard us name Katherine."

"Then why do you even bother telling me all these for? Why not just kill me the moment I think that?"

"Because it\'s more fun that way... You know, I really thought you were going to let us go.

But Katherine is just too important for you that you\'re willing to kill us to wipe her secret?

We actually have no intention to kill you... It looks like we can\'t cooperate on killing the secret society together.

This is going to be the last time we see each other. See you never——"

Just as the two of them got up and started heading towards the tent, someone suddenly opened the tent flap.

"Freeze! Keep your hand where I can see them. Don\'t even think about using any of your ability on me."

Seeing Mingxu pointing his rifle at the two of them with no hesitation, Xiaoyun was a little surprised.

"You two, I repeat. Put your hands up, or my gun won\'t hesitate to fire." Mingxu warned again.

Chen Gang and Liu Peng both looked at each other for a second, then immediately charged towards him.

The charge was so fast that before Mingxu could even pull the trigger, a long metal knife cut right through both of his arms.

Upon closer inspection, it was just Liu Peng\'s claw, but it extended way beyond Xiaoyun\'s expectations.

"Fuck!"

As Mingxu fell onto the floor in pain, blood began to spew out from his missing arms.

"Don\'t try anything stupid, Xiaoyun. I know you can create things out of thin air."

Seeing Liu Peng and Chen Gang still looking towards him with caution, Xiaoyun didn\'t dare to make any move.

"Do I look like I can do anything in this situation?"

"We know what you\'re capable of... You had killed one of the best fighters from the secret society on that Longxue island."

"Thanks for the compliment... Do you mind leaving now?"

The two didn\'t say anything as they watched Xiaoyun kneel on the floor, holding onto the bleeding hole on Mingxu\'s shoulder.
