Jianghai Survivor Base.

After harboring doubts about the Jiangnan City District, Wang Lei immediately reported the information he knew.

Due to his position as the Elite Squad captain, it wasn't long before the highest commander of the Jiangnan Survivor Base heard of the matter.

Surprised by the report, the highest commander quickly summoned Wang Lei.

In the office.

"Captain Wang, is what you said true?"

The highest commander, dressed in military attire and appearing middle-aged, looked at Wang Lei.

Although the news had been received some time ago, upon bringing up the matter again, the commander still found it hard to believe.

Zombies driving cars?

Even transporting supplies?

If all this truly exists, it means these zombies must have awoken to intelligence.

But ordinary zombies can't evolve intelligence.

So it's highly likely that a Corpse King is secretly commanding these zombies.

"Yes, Commander."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei nodded, responding without hesitation.

"Could you describe the situation in detail again?"

The commander furrowed his brow, feeling puzzled.

If Wang Lei and his team had personally witnessed these manipulated zombies, how could the Corpse King have let them go?

The Corpse King's intelligence isn't low. Would he expose his situation to Wang Lei and the others?

"At that time, when our squad arrived in Jiangnan City District by helicopter... we killed a lot of zombies but didn't encounter a single Evolved Zombie..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei began to recall the series of events his squad experienced after arriving in Jiangnan City District and started to recount them to the commander.

Aside from concealing any rough treatment towards survivors, he revealed everything else.

After Wang Lei finished speaking, the commander furrowed his brow deeper, filled with confusion and puzzlement.

There were so many points in Wang Lei's story worth investigating!

Seeing the commander silent after his explanation, Wang Lei quietly stood there waiting, the office atmosphere somewhat oppressive.

After a brief silence, the commander looked at Wang Lei again and said in a deep voice, "Captain Wang, are you saying that after your squad entered Jiangnan City District, you found that all the Evolved Zombies that should have been there had mysteriously vanished?"

"Moreover, the scene of zombies transporting supplies and driving cars, you didn't actually see it with your own eyes, correct?"

Evolved Zombies evolve from ordinary zombies and can't just disappear without reason.

In the commander's view, these Evolved Zombies were either all hunted down or gathered by something, hidden in the dark.

And such an existence really aligns well with the identity of a Corpse King.

However, Wang Lei couldn't witness any unusual scenes of those zombies; all were recounted by survivors, making it difficult to determine the truth in a short time.

Of course, the commander already inclined to believe this matter was true.

After all, this matter and the complete disappearance of Evolved Zombies corroborate each other, strongly proving the existence of a Corpse King.

"Commander, many survivors have seen it. Now these people should have been transferred to the Base City, and the Base City can send someone to verify with them."

Wang Lei hurriedly said, although he hadn't seen it personally, he believed the survivors in that situation weren't lying.

And such an abnormal phenomenon, if it's not a Corpse King, then what is it?

Wang Lei even deeply suspected that his two teammates were killed by this Corpse King.

The motive was likely to warn them not to linger in his territory, wanting them to leave quickly.

This is also the reason why he and his teammates withdrew without facing the fatal danger the other two teammates faced.

Of course, if things were really as he speculated, then the Corpse King hiding in Jiangnan City District, the intelligence... is truly terrifying.

Wang Lei wouldn't be so arrogant to think that this Corpse King feared his squad's strength and didn't wipe them out entirely.

With the ability to manipulate Corpse Tides, if wanting to strike, Wang Lei's squad wouldn't be able to escape.

He believed the real reason is likely that the Corpse King considered their backing at Jianghai Base City.

Not wanting to attract Jianghai Base City's attention to Jiangnan City District due to annihilating a super squad.

After all, this Corpse King is still in a dormant state and certainly didn't want to be exposed to human sight. This is the key to why they were able to retreat.

"This isn't what you saw yourself, so we can't rush to conclusions. However, your mention of the disappearance of all Evolved Zombies is very suspicious, with a good chance of a Corpse King being behind it."

"The Base City will send an Invisible Squad, entirely composed of Invisibles, to investigate further."

"If traces of a Corpse King are really found, Captain Wang, you will have made a significant contribution to the Base City and will surely receive a grand reward!"

The commander's expression was serious as he spoke.

This matter cannot be ignored by the Base City.

If this is false, it's manageable. But if it's true, it truly means a Corpse King is lurking near Jianghai Base City, eyeing humans menacingly.

In such a situation, Jianghai Base City is no different than living in a den of wolves.

Threatened daily by the Corpse King.

The opponent could anytime unleash a massive Corpse Tide and annihilate Jiangnan Base City District.

Therefore, once the existence of a Corpse King is detected, Jianghai Base City must quickly find the location of the Corpse King and eliminate it before a Corpse Tide is unleashed.

"Thank you, Commander. I reported this mainly out of concern for the safety of the Base City, and never thought about any reward before."

Wang Lei said modestly.

Subsequently, Wang Lei suggested: "Commander, I have a proposal, which is that the helicopter transporting the Invisible Squad should not land over Jiangnan City District; otherwise, it might easily alarm the Corpse King."

In Wang Lei's view, his squad was likely alarmed by the helicopter last time, resulting in his two teammates being brutally killed.

And the Corpse King must be hiding somewhere in Jiangnan City District. Hearing the helicopter's noise would surely attract him.

With the previous squad as an example, the Invisible Squad should not repeat the same mistake.

"Alright, I'll inform them!"

Upon hearing Wang Lei's suggestion, the commander clearly understood Wang Lei's suspicion as well. After a brief thought, he agreed immediately.
