Chen Wang and his group rushed over and found that a group of people were fighting fiercely with Zombies.

Multiple people sustained multiple injuries!

One of the dark-faced men moved with great flair, carrying a Rocket Launcher on his shoulder. The Rocket Launcher was extremely fast, and each shot produced a loud bang, killing many Zombies!

There are at least thirty or forty Zombies here.

Two of them were wearing military uniforms and exuded an extremely powerful aura.

Their uniforms were gray and their skin was shriveled. One of the two Zombies was holding a submachine gun, and the other was holding an old-fashioned dagger. They were engaged in a fierce battle with a bald man in the group.

The bald man radiated an earthen-yellow light, and as he moved, earthen walls rose continuously, with sharp stalagmites piercing and impaling the Zombies within them.

This is a fourth-tier expert!

He was fighting fiercely with the Zombies, and a cut was made on his arm.

It was just a shallow opening, but the Earth Mutant's physical body was indeed extremely powerful.

He slammed his fist into the Zombies's chest, but the Zombies was extremely strong. It only staggered back a step slightly before swinging its dagger and charging forward! Surprisingly, the Zombies's movements were incredibly fast, clearly indicating that it possessed Battle Skill.

Another Tier 4 Zombie was wielding a modified submachine gun, extremely powerful, and was firing in bursts.

The two worked together seamlessly, unlike Zombies who only knew how to kill!

If it weren't for their grayish-white eyes and withered muscles, they would look exactly like elite warriors! Chen Wang immediately raised an eyebrow, and his team was also quite surprised! "Damn it, we can't even tell what they are!"

Yang Jun was surprised.

"That's right, it's just like ordinary Gene Warrior fighting!"

Yan Zhi also gasped.

There are so many Tier 4 Zombie deep in East Island Lake, and even level 4 warriors have infiltrated here! The opposing team is extremely powerful, but they are still no match for these Zombies.

There was only one fourth-level expert in their team, and that was the Bald Man.

That dark-faced man moved with flair, but he was also a third-tier warrior.

The Tier 4 Zombie that had been firing at several team members with a submachine gun suddenly swung it aside and placed it behind its back.

With a leap, he charged towards the dark-faced man! The Rocket Launcher in the dark-faced man's hand was extremely powerful, but even the fastest reloading speed has its limits. He had just fired a shot when he didn't expect to be targeted by this Tier 4 Zombie! In just two breaths, the dark-faced man had his heart ripped out by the Tier 4 Zombie and died a gruesome death on the spot!

The Bald Man's heart sank. He was Tier 4 Soldier from the Shengda Army and had brought his team in. He hadn't expected there to be so many Zombies here, and that they were so ferocious!

"His wisdom is too high!"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when one of Zombies fallen Zombies suddenly lunged at him! His fist glowed with an earthy yellow light as he gathered Earth Element and slammed it down like a heavy hammer! Even Third Order Zombie couldn't withstand a single blow from him.

The Zombies was a young girl, not wearing a military uniform, and her clothes were stained with oil, clearly indicating that she was an ordinary worker.

However, at that moment, the young girl easily blocked the bald man's punch, and with a swift step, struck his groin with a palm! The movement was fluid and ruthless, as if she had practiced it countless times. She didn't look like a Zombies at all; she fought purely on instinct, a true master of close combat! She Crotch-Striking Palm, then grabbed him fiercely! The bald man, whose body was covered in Earth Element, shattered instantly upon being grabbed.

He retreated sharply, but was still scratched, bleeding profusely from the pain, and his face turned pale! No matter how strong a fourth-tier warrior's physique is, this area is a man's vital spot. Being scratched by such a powerful Female Zombie caused him to grimace in pain!

"Holy shit!!"

The man was startled, and the two Tier 4 Zombie immediately pounced on him!

A fourth-tier warrior is already extremely powerful, practically a human war machine, but here he was no match for three Tier 4 Zombie.

Moreover, this young girl in overalls suddenly appeared.

His movements were extremely swift, just like those of a seasoned martial arts master, and he suddenly launched a deadly attack, injuring him!

Soon, the man was injured by the Zombies.

The Earth Element on his body was broken, and the man holding the old-fashioned dagger slashed his neck, causing blood to gush out! Even so, the man was not completely dead. He clutched his neck and staggered back, his face filled with disbelief.

These three Zombies in front of us are extremely intelligent, practically no different from Gene Warrior! Especially the young girl.

His neck was then broken.

The young girl jumped behind him and twisted his neck with both hands, as if she were twisting a rope.

Soon, this Shengda elite squad was wiped out.

The Zombies patrolled for a moment and then left.

The young girl was hiding among the ordinary Zombies, and she seemed slow-moving, sluggish, and not very bright.

After the Zombies completely left, Chen Wang and the others were all dumbfounded. "Is that still a Zombies? This girl is also very good at disguising herself. She can play dead and ordinary Zombies."

"A Zombies who can even do martial arts!"

Even Chen Wang was somewhat surprised.

He could understand that Zombies possessed immense strength and incredible speed, making their attacks virtually impossible to defend against.

However, in his view, the change just now was no longer an instinctive battle, but a premeditated series of tactics.

Everyone looked solemn.

Yan Zhi said, "Every time we learn about the characteristics of these Zombies, we have to pay a high price."

"If we hadn't witnessed this scene, we would likely have suffered heavy casualties when we encountered it ourselves in the future."

I don't know if the higher-ups are aware of this information, but these Gene Warrior certainly didn't know that Zombies had these characteristics.

Therefore, when encountering them, it's easy to fall into your own mental trap, viewing these Zombies with rigid thinking, making it easy for them to be taken down by unexpected means.

"That bald man wielded Earth Element power with great ease and at will. If he had known to take precautions earlier, he probably wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate."

Chen Wang said.

This served as a wake-up call for him; these damn Zombies could fake it! "I can handle Tier 4 Zombie, but what about Level 5 Zombies? What if they suddenly attack like this..."

Chen Wang couldn't help but put aside his contempt for these places.

However, he increasingly felt that they were getting closer and closer to the secret of East Island Lake.

"I'm interested in the secrets of this place, but there's no need for you to take risks here."

"Let's go, I'll take you out first."

Chen Wang suddenly said.

Yan Zhi and the others were stunned for a moment.

Dou Wu said, "Captain, we're not afraid to die. The stronger these Zombies are, the closer we are to the secret of East Island Lake. We're here and we'd be itching to see what's going on!"

Yang Jun nodded as well.

The weasel-faced man laughed and said, "Yeah, damn it, what's the point of living? Besides getting promoted, making money, and playing with women, it's all about excitement. Today's event was just too exciting!"

Miao De, usually a man of few words, said calmly, "I'm afraid of dying."

Yang Jun and Chen Wang looked at him.

However, Miao De continued, "But if we can see these secrets of the Zombies with our own eyes and understand the truth behind them, then dying is just dying."

It's quite remarkable that he could say so much at once.

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised. "It's not really worth dying just to see a secret."

Yan Zhi smiled and said, "It depends on what kind of secret it is. If it's an ordinary secret, it's naturally not worth mentioning, but what if it's the truth about the Winter?"

Chen Wang frowned. "But this place may not hold the truth about Winter that you're talking about. It could very well just be a large gathering place for Zombies."

Dou Wu said, "Let's go a little further in, Captain. It would be a shame to leave like this."

Chen Wang was not a native of the Winter after all, and he did not understand why these freelance warriors, who seemed to value their lives so much, had their eyes shining as if they were hungry wolves that had seen food.

"If there's nothing inside but a bunch of powerful Zombies, and you risk several lives, is it still worth going in?"

Chen Wang asked.

He originally thought that he was fully capable of handling these unexpected situations.

But seeing these highly intelligent Zombies, he now feels that perhaps not.

Therefore, they wanted to take everyone away instead.

Unexpectedly, the team members were not very interested in leaving, but were instead very interested in the secrets of Winter.

This puzzled Chen Wang.

At this moment, he also realized that regardless of their personality, experience, or background, these people did indeed have a deep bond with Winter.

It has a primitive style reminiscent of the Winter.

"Damn it, you guys are even more hyped than I am now!" Chen Wang cursed.

They then decided to continue on their way.

I finally had a moment of kindness and wanted to take these people out of here.

As a result, one or two of them went straight to their heads!

They moved forward quickly and soon discovered a large building.

The sign has fallen off and is mottled, but you can still vaguely make out what kind of place it is.

Their eyes lit up! Since the battle they had just encountered, they had ventured quite a distance deeper into the enemy territory.

Seeing this building now, which is relatively intact, I was immediately tempted.

"There's no money or young women inside, it could be a whole nest of Zombies, what are you all getting so excited about!" Chen Wang said.

Everyone was taken aback by his scolding, then smiled, but unconsciously tightened their grip on their guns.

Chen Wang shook his head. People who live in the Winter have experienced a major upheaval, and perhaps they have a kind of obsession with theoretical truth that is hard for him to understand.

Chen Wang extended his Divine Sense to avoid encountering any unexpected situations.

Sure enough, there were quite a few Zombies in there. They hadn't gone far when they spotted a Tier 4 Zombie! Tier 4 Zombie are quite sensitive to the presence of living people. It turned its head, and its grayish-white eyes seemed to be looking at something.

"Careful!"

Chen Wang reminded him.

The advantage of mental strength is that it allows one to foresee dangers in such complex situations, even if the distance is not particularly far, it is sufficient in such a confined environment.

Everyone held their breath as Chen Wang unleashed his spiritual power, creating an invisible barrier in front of him.

Now his Divine Sense is extremely powerful, and he can perform intricate operations that were previously impossible.

This barrier isolated some of their presence, preventing the Tier 4 Zombie from sensing them.

The Zombies wandered around, but instead of heading towards Chen Wang, they went in another direction.

Following Chen Wang, the group actually managed to sneak inside.

However, so far, they haven't found anything special.

After wandering around and avoiding some Zombies, they arrived at a room.

The room was extremely spacious. When they went inside, they discovered there was another floor below. Standing on the stairs, they looked down and saw many sophisticated instruments, as well as some large petri dishes.

Chen Wang's eyes lit up. "This place seems to have some secrets. Let's go down and take a look."

The group went down the stairs; the room was very empty and oppressive, with hardly anyone else around.

The ground was covered with black bloodstains, as well as broken bones and hair, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

"A bloody massacre must have taken place here!"

Chen Wang frowned.

The hair and broken bones of these people on the ground can attest to this.

After Chen Wang and his group went down, they found that the huge petri dishes were all empty. However, these empty dishes were not quite the same. There were a total of eighteen petri dishes, which looked very tall. Twelve of them were relatively well preserved, but there was no solution inside. Six of them were broken, and it seemed that something had escaped from them.

Chen Wang bent down and pinched the shard of glass, discovering that it was a very special type of glass with very high strength.

The scene before him was shocking! Chen Wang came to a container and found a photograph on a platform in front of it. The photograph showed a young man with a bright smile, sword-like eyebrows, and an extraordinary heroic air.

He was wearing a military uniform and looked extremely capable; there was identification information next to him.

"Zhao WeiGuo".

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

His identity information did not include his place of origin, but only his age, height, weight, physical fitness and other indicators, which were densely packed together.

Eighteen years old.

One can imagine that the person in the petri dish was this eighteen-year-old Zhao WeiGuo, full of youthful vigor.

After examining all the petri dishes, the group discovered that there were eighteen people inside, seven of whom were women, all with very neat short hair.

Chen Wang wandered around inside.

He noticed that one of the girls looked extremely gentle. Although she had short hair, her smile when taking photos resembled a delicate white lotus flower, and she was somewhat shy.

"It's that Female Zombie from before!"

Chen Wang said.

A crowd gathered around.

Indeed, this young girl was the same young girl they had seen earlier, disguised as an ordinary Zombies.

He immediately struck with a groin strike, his movements swift and decisive, ultimately snapping the neck of the fourth-tier warrior.

Although the Female Zombie's face was somewhat withered, her features could still be vaguely discerned.

What exactly happened here back then?

Chen Wang sighed.
