Chapter 234: The Mastermind

Seeing the speed of energy loss displayed on the screen, the young scientist quickly pressed the emergency button near the wall. The moment he pressed the emergency button, the sirens sounded throughout the secret laboratory. Soon, a group of guards brought a middle-aged scientist to the storage room.

The middle-aged scientist looked at the young scientist and asked gloomily: "What happened?"

The young scientist showed him the data and said, "Professor Li, please look at this."

Li Wengmao took the monitoring device from his hand and looked at the screen. The moment he saw the energy fluctuations and energy loss on the screen, his face turned pale.

He raised his eyes from the screen and looked at the neatly arranged high-ranked zombies in the storage room. He starts to panic when he sees the zombies’ bodies begin to rot at a fast rate.

Li Wengmao handed the monitoring device back to the young scientist and said, "You stay here and record everything that happened in detail. I will report to the young master right away."

The younger scientist nodded and said, "Yes, Professor Li."

Leaving the storage room, Li Wengmao came to the control room. He pressed his ID card on the door lock. After a beeping sound, the metal door opened automatically. Entering the spacious control room, Li Wengmao looked at the man who was busy working in front of countless screens and computers.

He walked up to the man and said, "Young Master Chengyun, there is an emergency in the storage room."

After hearing his words, Lei Chengyun glanced at him and then looked at the countless screens in front of him.

Seeing that he didn’t seem to care about the emergency in the storage room, Li Wengmao said, "Young Master Chengyun, please deal with the energy loss in the storage room. Otherwise, we will lose all the test subjects there."

Li Wengmao waited anxiously for a few seconds before Lei Chengyun finally said, "I don’t need people who can’t solve such trivial matters."

When Li Wengmao heard his cold voice, his whole body trembled and chills ran down his spine. Feeling a cold gaze falling on him, Li Wengmao looked up and found Lei Chengyun staring at him.

Seeing those cold and ruthless eyes, he quickly lowered his eyes and said, "I understand. I will solve it as soon as possible."

After saying this, Li Wengmao didn’t dare to stay any longer. Seeing Li Wengmao leaving with the guards, Lei Chengyun quickly typed a few codes. After a ’beep’ sound, the display on the main screen changed.

He looked at the screen and saw a very handsome man standing not far outside the secret laboratory. Seeing that the man was just standing there with his eyes closed, Lei Chengyu thought for a while before looking at the other screens.

Seeing more than twenty men and women walking towards the handsome man, he calmly typed a few codes and turned off the alarm. After doing that, he ignored those people and continued his research.

At the same time, Tan Wei saw Xiu Wu standing motionless with his eyes closed, and asked, "Lao Xiu, what’s wrong with you? What are you doing?"

Hearing his question, Xiu Wu stopped absorbing the devil energy and opened his eyes. He turned to look at Tan Wei and said, "Nothing."

Ren Yuan saw the directional sign on the ground and said, "I know this amusement park."

Tan Wei raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I didn’t expect Captain Ren to come to the amusement park. You don’t look like someone who enjoys hanging out here."

Ren Yuan shook his head and said, "I have never been to this amusement park, but I heard that this amusement park was very famous before the end of the world. Most people will bring their children to this place during the holidays."

After hearing what he said, Wei Bai remembered something and said, "I also know this place. I heard that many children have disappeared in this amusement park."

After hearing what he said, Xiu Wu asked, "Do you know who the owner of this amusement park is?"

Wei Bai thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, this amusement park was built by Lei’s Group."

Hearing Wei Bai’s answer, Xiu Wu’s eyes flickered and he asked, "Lei’s Group? Do you mean Lei’s Group, which specializes in medicine and hospital business?"

Wei Bai nodded to Xiu Wu and said, "Yes. I remember when I learned that the owner of this amusement park is Lei’s Group, I thought that Lei’s Group had finally expanded its business beyond medical care and hospitals."

Listening to his words, Xiu Wu frowned and fell into deep thought. Tan Wei saw his serious expression, realized something, and asked, "Lao Xiu, do you think the mastermind who kidnapped those children was the Lei Group?"

Xiu Wu nodded and said, "Yes."

Liang Ming, who was standing on the side, thought for a while and asked, "Why do you think so? This may be a coincidence since the amusement park has over fifty thousand visitors per day. It is not uncommon for children to get lost in crowded places. Additionally, child trafficking rates have been extremely high over the past decade."

After hearing his question, Xiu Wu looked at him and said, "Didn’t you see the second batch of high-ranked zombies who were joining us?"

The others nodded when they heard his question. Xiu Wu looked at them and said, "Judging from their appearance, those high-ranked zombies should have been very young when they became zombies. Unlike those zombies that became zombies due to infection, these zombies were actually turned into zombies by people."

Hearing this, Ren Yuan’s eyes widened. He looked at Xiu Wu and asked in surprise: "Captain Xiu, do you think those zombies are the abducted children?"

Xiu Wu nodded and said, "Yes. The leader of those high-ranked zombies is a ninth-rank zombie. I believe Captain Ren should know this because you are Ren Jiaxiang’s elder brother. You should know his real age, right? As for how they turned into zombies, it’s the reason why we came here. I want to investigate the purpose of these people to turn humans into zombies."
