Trial Begins
The snarling, clawing zombies had finally attracted attention from mainland China. After all, this wasn't a movie.
Fortunately, the secret base of the "Toxicity" Saint was hidden deep in the Tar Desert, far from any people. The zombies weren't endless in number, either. The outbreak was still in its early stages, and they hadn't yet spread beyond the desert or come into contact with larger groups of people.
If handled properly, the Saint's Association was still capable of wiping out these dangerous zombies without leaving any threats behind.
According to the reconnaissance data from the small drones temporarily deployed by the "Foxhunt" team, at least a thousand zombies had been spotted. Judging by their clothing, the vast majority were Dalits rounded up from who knew where. Most were probably deceived into volunteering for human gene-unlocking experiments. The Ghoul Curse may have first broken out among them.
In India, Dalits held an abysmal social status, barely better off than livestock. No one cared if they died. It was estimated that all it would take was a full meal to get as many of them as needed.
But gathering so many people deep in the Tar Desert and providing for their daily needs wasn't cheap.
This suggested that the secret base was likely built around a sizeable oasis with its own water source. Otherwise, even supplying enough drinking water for so many people would have been difficult.
Since Li Bai could continuously obtain the latest information about the Ghoul Curse from the Saint's Association, mainland China had responded. It advised against direct intervention, but still needed to stay alert in case the situation escalated further.
Something like this happening in India, with the Saint's Association as the instigator, was a foul quagmire.
Unless absolutely necessary, it wasn't worth getting involved.
