"How's the intelligence gathering going?" Fang Yi took the intelligence report and read it carefully. All the methods used by the Daoists were recorded. The Zombie scientists had also studied these items. These objects usually had a restraining effect on Zombie, but it wasn't serious. Only when the Daoists used special methods to deal with them could the power of these items be fully utilized.

"A Daoist? An enemy of Zombie?" Fang Yi stretched his body. As time went by, Fang Yi's strength was rapidly increasing, and this increase had never stopped. His improvement would also drive the improvement of the entire clan. According to the latest news from the Research Institute, the fifth-generation Zombie were gradually showing the characteristics of copper skin and iron bones. Their bodies were not completely stiff, and they had gained a certain degree of mobility.

"How many of our clansmen are still in the city?" Fang Yi asked the administrator beside him.

"We have six cities surrounding us. Outside each city, we have more than ten second-generation Zombie and hundreds of third-generation Zombie in ambush. There are also dozens of third-generation Zombie inside the cities," the administrator hurriedly said. "Originally, there were also quite a few fourth-generation Zombie, but because of the appearance of the Daoist priest, all the fourth-generation Zombie that couldn't control their auras were abandoned, and many third-generation Zombie were also exposed."

"Then tell me, which city should we attack to open up the situation?" Fang Yi asked. The most important resource needed for the development of Zombie is population. According to research, Zombie can reproduce, but the chance of reproduction is extremely low. Therefore, the main source of Zombie is still to infect others with Bloodworm. At the same time, Zombie also urgently need fresh blood resources.

"The Purple Forest Settlement!" the administrator stated definitively. "There are three reasons. First, there are large groves of Purple Forest outside the Purple Forest Settlement, suitable for hiding people. Second, an administrator from the Purple Forest Settlement is willing to join our Zombie, and we took it upon ourselves to grant him a second-generation Zombie position. We beg the Ancestor to punish us."

"It's nothing, just a spot for a second-generation Zombie!" Fang Yi his hand and said, "Are you sure he's genuinely defecting?"

"It's been confirmed that the Correctors are essentially enslaving their administrative staff. They have strict control over the Twisted Artifacts. That administrative staff member is terminally ill and doesn't have the Twisted Artifacts. To survive, he has no choice but to join us Zombie."

"Very good, what is the third reason for choosing the Purple Forest Settlement?" Fang Yi continued to ask.

"Nüba is at the Purple Forest Settlement!" the administrator said. Although Nüba is only a second-generation Zombie, due to an unknown mutation, she already possesses the potential to become Zombie king. If nothing unexpected happens, Nüba will sublimate her bloodline and become the new generation of Zombie king.

"So, Wu Donglin is also here? Do our people have a way to awaken Nüba?" Fang Yi asked.

"Although their defenses are tight, they underestimated the power of our Zombie," the administrator said confidently. While Zombie have various weaknesses, their strengths are also formidable.

At the Purple Forest Settlement, no fewer than ten Correctors had gathered. Wu Donglin and his third brother were also there, along with twenty Twisted Warriors who had been transformed from the Twisted Core of Lu Li's experiment.

"Why not!" The second-in-command of the Purple Forest Settlement, a woman with a ponytail, slammed her hand on the table and said, "Wu Donglin, don't forget, you're one of us in Purple Forest now too."

"I chose to join your Purple Forest Settlement, not so you could study my sister!" Wu Donglin retorted sharply, his tone unyielding. "Other things are negotiable, but studying my sister is not!"

"Whether she's your sister or not is another matter. Even if she is, she's a Zombie now!" the woman with the ponytail said just as ruthlessly, making the atmosphere in the meeting room even more tense and making the Daoist priests standing on the other side feel somewhat awkward.

Fang Hao cursed inwardly. As a Daoist priest, he had been dealing with Zombie for some time and had gradually absorbed all the information about Zombie in the Profound Yin Corpse Refinement Art, gaining a deeper understanding of them.

Nüba was originally Correctors. Her body had been modified by the power of distortion for many years. Although the distortion artifact disappeared after her death, her body was still extraordinary. It was difficult to transform her into a second-generation Zombie. After absorbing the blood of her close relative Wu Donglin, she underwent a mutation and already possessed the potential to become Zombie king.

The best way to deal with Zombie that has the potential to become Zombie king is to use something that counters it before it grows up and forcibly eliminate it. Once it grows up and obtains the world curse, there will be no way to kill the Zombie king except for the corresponding ultimate counter.

However, there's nothing you can do when you encounter a master of sister complex, especially when that sister complex is also a powerful Correctors. The way that sister complex looks at them is as if they want to crush them to death.

Fang Hao gritted his teeth and stepped forward, saying, "Each Zombie king represents a Zombie clan. Lord Wu, your sister has the potential to become Zombie king. You can restrain her now, but you can't permanently. According to measurements, the temperature has been rising steadily these past few days, and a severe drought will soon strike the Purple Forest Settlement. Your sister's strength is growing rapidly. Even without studying it, you need to restrain her. We Daoists can stop her bloodline from continuing to grow."

"How can you guarantee you won't just kill her?" Wu Donglin stared intently at Fang Hao. These damned Daoists, based on some intelligence, were definitely not simple. After dealing with the Zombie disaster, he would definitely study them thoroughly.

"Actually, Lord Wu's sister has far surpassed the category of a second-generation Zombie, so killing her won't be easy for us..." Fang Hao quickly said.

After several discussions, the matter was finally settled. A group of Correctors went to the hospital in the settlement, Nüba was imprisoned in the hospital's basement, guarded by a large number of people, including Wu Donglin's third brother.

Just before them, a very fat man with a large belly arrived at the hospital entrance. As he passed through the entrance, he underwent tests such as blood tests and touching peach wood, which were designed to detect Zombie. He then used the excuse of having a bloated stomach to enter the hospital.

The basement was heavily guarded, even by administrative staff. Upon reaching the second floor, the large, fat man nervously entered a toilet. After finding nothing, he went to the sink and opened his mouth.

A jet-black fingernail emerged from the fat man's throat, followed by his entire arm. A figure emerged from the fat man's mouth, or rather, Zombie, sliding like liquid directly into the sink and down the drain to the basement.

The fat man instantly slimmed down, quickly cleaned up the surrounding traces, took out a trachea from his clothes, inflated the fish bladder inside, and looked like he was fat again. Only then did he hurriedly leave the hospital, return to his home, and look at the person sitting in the seat.

"Very good, this is yours!" Fang Yi stretched out his hand, and a blood vessel burst out of his body, revealing a wriggling Bloodworm.
