Chapter 45 Indeed

"Found it!"

Looking at the mutated crystal core in his hand, Li Chenzhou frowned. Then, he tore open Wang Li's clothes, cut open his outer garment with a dagger, and then dissected his abdominal cavity, cutting out the entire stomach.

After cutting open the stomach, Li Chenzhou examined the food residue inside. After careful differentiation, he finally confirmed that Wang Li had not eaten human flesh. The food residue in his stomach was all from the compressed rations and other food from the base.

In other words, Wang Li, like Qing Lang, had not eaten after becoming a zombie, nor had he absorbed the energy of the Hell Silk. Yet, a mutated crystal core had already formed in their brains.

Putting Wang Li's stomach back, he had Grey Bear stitch up the corpse's abdomen. Li Chenzhou stood up, returned to the car, took out a telescope, and began to carefully examine the surroundings of the prison.

Clearly, the gunman from before must have been to the prison. Thinking about it carefully, based solely on Qing Lang's own power, not to mention a surge in strength, even escaping from the prison would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The ventilation duct only led to the top of the main prison building, and the main prison building was built in the center of the yard, not connected to any surrounding buildings, and far from the walls, with guard towers in between.

After Ding Ning left, he had already arranged combat personnel in the guard towers. In that case, Qing Lang would have no ability to run out. So, the gunman must have entered the prison cell and given Qing Lang something, making him an evolver.

In addition, the missing corpses from the prison cells were definitely the work of that guy. No one else, not even Li Chenzhou, currently had the ability to move so many corpses out of the cells silently.

However, what was the use of zombie corpses? The zombies in the prison were not enhanced zombies, so they had no mutated crystal cores. Besides, if it was just for the crystal cores, they could just dig them out. There was no need to move all the corpses away. Therefore, the other party's target should be the corpses.

Li Chenzhou carefully searched his memories from his previous life, and finally confirmed that he had never heard of any creatures being interested in zombie corpses. And every time he entered the city, the zombie corpses that could be seen everywhere could fully prove this point.

"Two opposing camps of creatures, among which...does it include Devourers?"

After searching for a long time and still finding nothing, Li Chenzhou looked up at the sky and muttered.

Clearly, the creatures that enhanced Qing Lang also had something similar to evolution medicine. Then...are the creatures in the opposing camp the ones who created the Killing System?

Li Chenzhou now realized that after his rebirth, this apocalypse had become increasingly unfamiliar. At least, the apocalypse of his previous life had not encountered such strange situations.

"Could it be...that I transmigrated to a different apocalypse than the one I experienced?"

A strange thought couldn't help but arise in Li Chenzhou's heart, but then he shook his head. Whether it was the apocalypse he had experienced or not, it made little difference to him. Whether the enemies were zombies or something else, if he wanted to survive, he had to kill them!

So, Li Chenzhou simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, as long as he didn't die, he would eventually see them one day. Now, the most important thing for him was to desperately improve his strength.

"Did you find anything?"

At this time, Grey Bear walked over and looked up at Li Chenzhou on the wall and asked.

"No!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head.

"Let me see!"

Grey Bear climbed onto the wall, reached out and took the telescope from Li Chenzhou's hand, and looked into the distance.

"According to Ding Ning, the gunman is in that direction!"

Li Chenzhou pointed to the direction of the city and said:

"I guess their lair might also be in the city!"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Grey Bear shook his head and pointed in the opposite direction, saying:

"The direction the gunman is in doesn't have much to do with the direction he came from. It depends on this!"

As he said this, Grey Bear turned his head and looked at the main building of the prison, pointing to the window and saying:

"Only this side has windows, the back doesn't. So, the best position for a sniper is over there, no matter where he comes from! And if it were me, I would put the sniper position there!"

What Grey Bear was pointing to was actually a small hill about one kilometer away from the prison!

Hearing Grey Bear's words, Li Chenzhou suddenly remembered that when it came to sniping, Grey Bear was the professional. Although his marksmanship was accurate, he had faced zombies in his previous life, so he didn't pay attention to positions or anything like that. Zombies wouldn't observe the environment!

"Can you find him?"

Li Chenzhou asked immediately.

"The gunman should have left long ago!"

Grey Bear shook his head:

"However, we can go over and take a look, maybe we can find some clues, or even find traces of his departure!"

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"

Hearing this, Li Chenzhou couldn't sit still any longer. He grabbed Grey Bear, got down from the wall, and rushed towards the Dark Blood, without even thinking about saying hello to Ding Ning.

Because there might be a sniper, the people in Li Chenzhou's team had already returned to the car. So, Grey Bear went directly into the driver's seat and left the prison base!

Grey Bear drove the Dark Blood to the foot of the hill, then opened the door and jumped out. After looking around, he frowned slightly, then lay on the ground and looked, grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it under his nose.

"That's right!"

Grey Bear turned his head to look at the mountains, then at the direction of the prison, pointed to the spot where he had just grabbed the soil, and said:

"These are footprints, left by Qing Lang. He should have left from here! There's also the smell of his blood in the soil!"

"Only his footprints?"

Li Chenzhou asked.

He remembered that Ding Ning had said before that Qing Lang was almost killed by Ding Ning when he first attacked the prison. Later, the mysterious man behind Qing Lang took action and grabbed Qing Lang back from afar with iron chains.

So, if they found footprints, there should be at least two people!

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Grey Bear didn't answer immediately, but turned around again and looked around carefully. Finally, he returned to Li Chenzhou and shook his head, saying:

"Apart from Qing Lang's tracks, there are no other discoveries!"

After speaking, Grey Bear looked up at the hill in front of him and said:

"It seems that we can only go in and search!"

"Then let's go!"

Li Chenzhou nodded, and then took the lead to climb up the hill, but was grabbed by Grey Bear:

"You follow behind me. If I let you lead the way, can you see the traces that guy left?"

Hearing Grey Bear's words, Li Chenzhou was stunned. He had no problem killing zombies, but...tracking was obviously something Grey Bear was more experienced in. So, he immediately stepped aside knowingly...
