"Damn Blood-Eyed Crow, calling me an ordinary explorer!"
"How is this kid ordinary? This..."
After an intense half-hour session of "communication" with his gun and wolf claws, the latter had spilled everything.
This city, Zhanbi, was indeed, as Ye Feng had previously surmised, a phonetic transliteration of "zombie."
It had originally been a small, remote county town. Later, a large military presence arrived, undertaking extensive modifications to transform it into a massive base specifically for zombie experiments.
This explained why, upon entering the city, Ye Feng observed that the street-facing sides of all buildings were large, smooth walls.
Such architectural designs were intended to allow for advantageous firing positions should an experimental subject escape or personnel be accidentally infected and turn into a zombie.
In the early stages of the great catastrophe, it was discovered that when the number of zombies reached a certain scale, they would undergo peculiar changes, evolving into a more advanced form.
These were the zombies Ye Feng was familiar with: Tier 1 Agility-type, Tier 1 Strength-type, Tier 2 Strength-type, and so on.
Through research, it was found that a serum extracted from within the zombies, when injected into humans, could similarly enhance various human abilities.
This serum was named "Enhancement Serum."
The desire for power led to increasingly radical and frantic zombie experiments...
Until one day, this colossal experimental base, dedicated to researching the extraction of Enhancement Serum from zombies, completely lost control...
What followed was Zhanbi city as Ye Feng and the others saw it: a place overrun by zombie humans and zombie animals...
And this "Wolf Claw," whose real name was Guo Zhen, had been a serial rapist and murderer who had killed over a dozen young girls before the catastrophe. He had been sentenced to death.
However, due to the great catastrophe, this scoundrel survived, joined an organization, had his body injected with Enhancement Serum, and was transformed into his current state...
"Hey, what's the name of the organization you joined?"
Ye Feng felt it was necessary to guard against such a dangerous group.
"I... I don't know... I'm just one of the survivors among their countless test subjects..."
Wolf Claw replied weakly.
"It's true, I really don't know the organization's name. I only know our squad leader is Boss Crocodile!"
Seeing Ye Feng's finger twitching towards the trigger, Wolf Claw quickly shouted.
"Then why were you guys so determined to go to the central core laboratory in Zhanbi city? What's in there?"
"How far is it from the experimental building B where we are now?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and asked again.
"I don't know what's in the core laboratory either, only Boss Crocodile knows. Experimental building B is..."
"Huh?"
Wolf Claw's words were cut short as Ye Feng's expression suddenly changed. A chilling premonition surged through him.
"Beep, alert, detected Licker. Position: one meter directly below!"
