"Captain, it will take more than half an hour to get back to our Zhongtian Army base." Xiao Qing reported to Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning picked up the military phone and reported the estimated arrival time to Zhongtian Base.

"First Base..Received!"

Zhang Ning heard that the reply from the base was intermittent and the signal was not smooth, as if there was a problem with the line.

"Strange..." Zhang Ning said puzzledly.

"Strange? What's strange?" Li Cheng put his hat on his head, crossed his legs on the table and closed his eyes to rest. When he heard what Zhang Ning said, he said something.

"The satellite phone at the base rarely has signal problems."

"The weather at sea is changeable, so the signal is affected a little. What's so strange about that?"

Zhang Ning has been feeling vaguely uneasy since last night, as if something big was going to happen.

Li Cheng took off his hat, glanced at Zhang Ning, and said, "Zhang Ning, you didn't report our team's affairs to Zhongtian. Aren't you afraid of violating military regulations? Your commander Tong is a mortal enemy of Ling Mingzong of Beiji."

"I believe our commander will make the right judgment. The Beiji Army deliberately abandoned your team. This reason is enough to prove that you, Licheng, should draw a clear line between them. Moreover, I can't turn a blind eye to it." Zhang Ning's eyes were firm.

In S City, Li Cheng told Zhang Ning about how his team was betrayed by the Beiji Army, and said that there were two options: one was to go back through Zhongtian to take revenge, and the other was to stockpile supplies and escape from this disgusting doomsday by boat.

Later, he learned about the existence of the Omniscient Church. The future situation and the evolution of zombies were unclear, which was not enough for him and his team to survive. If they were not careful, they would become zombies after death, which would disgust others and themselves.

Zhang Ning suggested that he go back to Zhongtian with him at that time, probably because he knew that it would be difficult for him to ask.

Li Cheng continued, "I wonder if Zhongtian has found any information about the Omniscient Sect. This sect is not simple at all. In a short period of time, it was able to develop to a force of almost several regiments. It must be really well hidden."

"Actually, I suspect they are the masterminds behind the zombie disaster." Zhang Ning combined various circumstances and came up with a reasonable suspicion.

"If it's true as you said, all of this is their doing, then what's their purpose? Don't forget that other regions are also infested with zombies, just like China. The virus is developing very rapidly, and it's beyond the scope of seizing control."

"Maybe they never thought that the situation would turn out like this," Zhang Ning analyzed.

"It is also possible that they deliberately created the current situation and desperately want to obtain something secret." Li Cheng followed Zhang Ning's idea and expressed his own opinion.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted their thoughts.

"Captain, it's bad, something big has happened, our base may have been attacked, Fortress No. 1 has collapsed!" Xiao Qing rushed into the cabin anxiously.

Zhang Ning's face changed and he quickly walked towards the deck.

Li Cheng followed behind and said seriously: "It seems that Zhang Ning's intuition is right. Something is really going to happen."

Zhang Ning checked through the telescope and found the situation serious. He made a prompt decision: "Notify them to speed up and return to the base for support as soon as possible."

Everyone became nervous in an instant.

The ship sped towards the base. When they returned, they found that the three fortresses of the base had signs of burning, and Fortress No. 3 was in ruins. The Zhongtian Army was using their supernatural powers to clean up the scene.

"What happened at the base? Tell us as we walk." Zhang Ning quickly asked his colleagues.

"Captain Zhang, you are finally back. Last night, the Northern Hebei Army attacked our army and caused an explosion, resulting in a large number of casualties among our troops. A group of zombies and mutant zombies with special powers appeared inside the base."

"A mutant corpse with super powers?" Zhang Ning had never heard of this name, but he could guess what it was.

"They are mutant corpses that are formed when a superpower is infected by a virus. They can freely use their own superpowers. There are also types that are fast and have autonomous behavioral consciousness."

"So, the zombies have evolved again. The types of zombies I have seen in S City are not the kind you are talking about. Because of the low temperature, their evolution process was hindered. How was it resolved later?"

"Later, thanks to the anesthetic gas and Dr. Wu Shu's laser energy gun, by the way, Captain Zhang, you may not know about the special weapon that Dr. Wu has successfully developed. Well, let's not talk about the weapon. The commander is very angry and irritable now. Dr. Wu Shu and Tong Zhiyu have been taken away!"

"Someone sneaked into Zhongtian and took them away? What kind of person can walk around the base without being discovered?"

"Captain Zhang, you don't know that the man who took the two people away has the ability to become invisible! He can even avoid infrared detection."

Invisibility! He can move freely around the base.

"Later, the commander sent people to chase after them separately, but they still haven't found the ship that took Dr. Wu and Zhiyu away."

His colleagues simplified the events that took place at the base last night. After Zhang Ning understood the situation, he quickened his pace to the command room.

Inside the commander's room.

Tong Jianguo was uneasy and his blood pressure soared. Even the battle with the Northern Hebei Army did not affect his blood pressure. The double blow of losing his son and losing talented people could not help but give him a headache.

There were only a few military doctors left. Seeing this, Fan Rong measured his blood pressure and prescribed some medicine. After Tong Jianguo took the antihypertensive medicine and lay down for a while, he felt his dizziness was relieved.

"Knock knock". There's knock on the door.

The men who were protecting him quietly came to Tong Jianguo and reported.

"Commander, Captain Zhang Ning is back and waiting outside. Do you want to..."

"Let him in." Tong Jianguo's voice sounded a little weak.

After a while, Zhang Ning entered the commander's room. He saw Tong Jianguo lying flat on the sofa with his right hand resting on his forehead and eyes. He learned from outside the door that the commander had high blood pressure.

"Commander." Zhang Ning stood at attention and saluted.

"Well, Zhang Ning, you know everything about the base." Tong Jianguo maintained his original posture and spoke slowly.

"I understand. It's about the base, and about Dr. Wu and Zhiyu."

"Any news?"

Zhang Ning reported truthfully: "I asked about the search team's situation before coming in, and there is no updated information for the time being."

Tong Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhang Ning, tell me, who could make Dr. Wu and Zhiyu willingly be taken away? I just can't figure it out."

"Commander, please take care of yourself."

"This is the letter Zhiyu left for me. Please read it and see if there are any clues." After saying that, Tong Jianguo took out a piece of letter paper from his right chest pocket and handed it to Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning stepped forward, took it, and read it carefully.

Tong Jianguo added: "The classmates who were with Zhiyu said...the unknown person was a woman, disguised as a Zhongtian Army, so they couldn't see her face clearly. Later, they suddenly lost their sight and heard Zhiyu insisting on going with Dr. Wu. Then he was knocked unconscious and didn't know what happened afterwards."

"Commander, was this letter left by Zhiyu in the laboratory or was it handed to you by someone else?"

"The letter was given to me by Doctor Fan Rong from the Military Medical Department. I also asked her about the situation at that time. She said that Zhiyu was determined to leave and could not be stopped. What's the matter? Did you see anything?" Tong Jianguo was so excited that he wanted to sit up, but was stopped by Zhang Ning.

"Commander, I think Zhiyu's actions are in line with Dr. Wu Shu. The letter did not mention the specific location, but used dangerous places instead. According to the current situation, the most dangerous place is on land. Dr. Wu has always made the development of virus removers his top priority. He volunteered to go, which proves that the other party can provide conditions that our Zhongtian Army cannot provide."

"Even our Zhongtian Army can't provide these conditions, what a joke. Who else in the entire China has the ability to do this... Zhang Ning, could this be related to the Omniscient Sect?" Tong Jianguo suddenly thought of the Omniscient Sect. According to the information Zhang Ning had collected, this evil cult did have this ability.

"It is possible, Commander. I speculate that the mastermind behind the zombie disaster is most likely the Omniscience Cult."

Tong Jianguo doesn't want his own son to have any connection with a cult. Everyone knows that cults are good at brainwashing.

"No, it shouldn't be the Omniscient Cult. If it was the Omniscient Cult that sent people to Zhongtian Base, then if it was you, in order to avoid future troubles, you could just kill me and disrupt the morale of the army without any worries."

"The commander's analysis makes sense. It can't be the Omniscient Church. This person was able to convince Dr. Wu, so he probably knows him directly or indirectly. As for the conditions... stagnation... zombie evolution... a safe place..." Zhang Ning's thoughts were scattered, and he muttered to himself.

"Zhang Ning, what did you think of?"

"Commander, I'm thinking... Could it be that Dr. Wu and Zhiyu are going to Yangcheng?" Zhang Ning made bold and systematic speculations and analyses.

"Yangcheng! Yangcheng has become a city of corpses. Why would Dr. Wu go to Yangcheng? Does he have any acquaintances in Yangcheng?"

Zhang Ning suddenly thought of something and immediately dialed a number with a military phone, but the number was not in the area and could not be searched.

"Yes, there is an acquaintance in Yangcheng, Li Kuaile, Kuaile is in Yangcheng!" Zhang Ning was sure that it was Li Kuaile who sent someone to Zhongtian Base, or it was possible that she came here herself.
