Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 158 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (11)

With that malicious smile on his face, the man slowly backed away from the crowd.

As he moved away, the zombies on both sides gradually began to move, constantly approaching the team, separating the man from them, and finally disappearing completely from their sight.

Seeing the corridor filled with zombies, everyone stepped out of the elevator, ready for battle.

Ye Xin frowned and clicked her tongue: "There didn't seem to be many zombies to begin with?"

Zhang Lie, panting from exhaustion, said, "That's right, why does it feel like there are more and more zombies the more we fight? Are they planning to just wear us down like this?"

Something's definitely wrong, but he just can't see it yet... But what exactly is he overlooking? Jiang Weilan quickly racked his brains, standing at the back of the line, his gaze sweeping across the corridor, trying to find what he had missed.

"It's a clone."

Before Jiang Weilan could figure it out, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

thread.

Subconsciously, following Shi Qi's instructions, I looked at the zombies in the corridor again and sure enough, I saw some zombies that looked exactly the same.

He hadn't thought of this at all before, and besides, the faces of low-level zombies were basically rotten, making it impossible to see their appearance in such a chaotic scene. So, before Shi Qi spoke, Jiang Weilan really didn't see them at all.

"Everyone be careful, low-level zombies don't have this ability." Although Jiang Weilan didn't know how Shi Qi observed it, she still reminded him.

Disbelief appeared on Zhang Lie's tired face: "Just what kind of being is that? He can control advanced zombies?!"

Si Yan did not answer his question, but simply said, "So, all we need to do is find the true form, right?"

Jiang Weilan: "That makes sense, but..." How are you going to find him?

Before he could finish speaking, a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the corridor. Si Yan's thinking was simple: if this high-level zombie was level six, surely his clone couldn't be level six like the original, right?

It must be said that the simple and crude idea was indeed effective. Except for some zombies with resistance to electricity, all the other zombies fell to the ground, including those clones that looked the same.

The number of zombies in the corridor decreased sharply, and the high-level zombie that could create clones, which had been hiding in the horde, had nowhere to hide. Unlike other high-level zombies, this zombie did not look very human; the rotting parts of its face were still grotesque, and it would probably be easy to call it a level four zombie.

The lightning bolt that swept through the entire corridor made this high-level zombie realize the strength of Si Yan, who was also at level six. As one of the less powerful zombies, he looked at Si Yan in front of the group with his cloudy eyes filled with wariness, and even his feet unconsciously took a step back.

Sensing his wariness, Si Yan took a step forward expressionlessly, moving closer to him.

However, this time the advanced zombie did not continue to retreat. There seemed to be some struggle in his eyes again. Then, like Si Yan, he took a step forward. And judging from his appearance, he seemed to want to continue fighting Si Yan.

Although he knew that the zombie was being controlled by the previous guy, Si Yan showed no mercy. He quickly dealt with the clone that the zombie had released and, with a swift motion, plunged his knife straight into the zombie's brain.

Without this high-level zombie that could split itself, the other low-level zombies were no match for the team. Soon, they had cleared out all the zombies in the corridor.

Si Yan took out the crystal core of the level six zombie and handed it to Shi Qi. No one questioned it, because in their view, Si Yan had already advanced to the sixth level, and this was just him returning it to Shi Qi.

Shi Qi hesitated, looking at the crystal core before him, and did not immediately take it from his hand. In Shi Qi's opinion, giving the crystal core to him would be a complete waste; it would be better for Si Yan to absorb it himself or give it to someone else in the team.

Seeing that Shi Qi wouldn't accept the crystal core, Si Yan didn't say much. He simply pulled Shi Qi's hand and, without further ado, stuffed the crystal core into his palm.

Although he didn't know Shi Qi, Si Yan had a gut feeling that he was rather stubborn. He figured that he might not be able to get the crystal core to him with words, so it would be better to just take matters into his own hands and not give him any chance to refuse.

As expected, after the crystal core was placed in his hand, Shi Qi didn't say anything to refuse. He simply curled his fingertips, which Si Yan had just touched, slightly, and finally gripped the crystal core tightly, whispering, "Thank you..."

Si Yan looked at Shi Qi, said nothing more, and just smiled faintly. It seemed that for him, being able to do something for Shi Qi was something that made him happy.

When he opened his hand again, the crystal core between his palms was gone. Everyone naturally assumed that the crystal core had been absorbed by Shi Qi, and they quickly surrounded him to ask if his ability level had increased.

However, only Shi Qi himself knew that he had used brute force to crush the originally indestructible crystal core in his palm.

Shi Qi nodded, which was considered an answer to the question of whether his superpower had been upgraded.

Receiving a positive answer eased the uncertainty that had been building around the unknown individual, as it significantly increased their chances of winning.

Leaving the corridor, the team officially entered the basement.

First, there's this high-tech lobby in front of us. The lobby is quite spacious, and you can see the surrounding connected rooms, which also look quite large. It's clear that a lot of thought went into designing this basement.

Because of the known but poorly understood dangers present here, they are not so carefree as to search for any plants that could be used to develop a vaccine in this environment. Instead, they have decided to observe the plants here first.

"The things here are the same as those above, they look clean and not old. Does that mean the zombies also clean the rooms?" Zhang Lie questioned.

Si Yan: "You can't say for sure. After all, that guy doesn't seem any different from a normal person..."

Ye Xin: "So, where do we go next?"

Aside from the corridor we just came in through, there are three other passageways connecting to the main hall. The exact number of rooms in each passageway is still unknown, so which direction to go is clearly a problem.

Looking at Jiang Weilan, Si Yan asked, "Dr. Jiang, what do you think?" Since it was Jiang Weilan who suggested there was a basement here, Si Yan seemed to have no choice but to ask him now.

Jiang Weilan shook her head: "I don't know either. I only know that there is such a space here, but I have never actually been inside."

The current situation seems to be getting a bit complicated, but at this moment, Si Yan thought of someone else.
