Chapter 619: Chapter 612: Speculations about the Stranger

"Eh, this thing is actually pretty easy to handle!" said Hu Daoke, speaking casually as they quickly subdued a corpse demon.

"Take it seriously, stop the chit-chat. This thing is a high-risk virus-immune body. I don’t want to be in contact for too long. If you like it, you can sleep with it later!" Cheng Ziang said, not lifting his head.

"Little Ke, use a metal containment bag to cover his head, to prevent the virus from leaking!" Luo’er commanded Hu Daoke.

"Eh, okay!" Hu Daoke nodded and then took out a metal folding containment bag from his pocket, quickly covered the corpse demon’s head, and then tightened the rope around its throat.

Even though the corpse demon was fighting violently, it was clearly no match for these three. In the zombie culture of Earth, zombies are often depicted as infinitively strong, much stronger than normal humans.

Actually, if you carefully think about it, it’s unrealistic. Zombies lose their ability to perceive their own physical state, so they often disregard their own safety, using their full strength to attack the enemy, resulting in damage to their bodies.

But it should be mentioned, human strength has an upper limit. Ordinary people, due to their safety mechanism, may only be able to exert seventy to eighty percent of their strength. While zombies can exert one hundred percent of their strength due to the loss of this mechanism. However, under no circumstances, can the strength a zombie exerts exceed its maximum limit.

Of the same physique, a human might not be able to physically fight against a zombie, but humans are wise. No matter how powerful the zombies are, they could never be a match for humans with wisdom.

Quickly, under the control of these three, they almost turned the corpse demon into a ball. This was Luo’er’s idea. He was always worried that the corpse demon would use force to break its limbs, so he simply tied it up every ten centimeters.

After doing all this, they stood up, sighing with relief. Looking at the corpse demon on the ground, writhing like a worm, they finally felt somewhat relaxed.

"Everyone, stay still and wait for the containment team. We might all have come into contact with the virus, so don’t interact with the surrounding teams!" Luo’er told them.

Then, he began to notify the Airboat Headquarters via magic messenger to dispatch the containment squad. The containment team made up of the Murong Squad set off shortly after the advance team had done so. After receiving the command from Headquarters, the containment team’s transporter plane immediately headed to their target location.

Soon, another transport plane appeared in the sky. Hu Daoke couldn’t help but sigh, "That was quick!"

Ten minutes later, the transport plane steadily landed in the village square. Unlike the two supporting planes, this plane needed to transport samples, so it had to land.

After the transport plane landed, the cabin door immediately opened. Murong and others in their thick anti-skid suits stepped out. The anti-contamination suits they wore were very sturdy and consisted of two layers. The ones inside were similar to the advance team’s, but the ones outside were even stronger and were equipped with dedicated oxygen tanks. After putting them on, it made them look as bulky as a brick.

As soon as they got off the plane, Murong and Wu Tairan holding a containment bag came over. Seeing Luo’er and others, he smiled and said; "You guys worked hard."

"Whoa, bro, your suit..." Hu Daoke reached out to touch Wu Tairan’s anti-contamination suit, but was immediately stopped.

"Don’t touch anything. You guys need to get decontaminated immediately," Wu Tairan stepped back and said.

"Luo’er..." Shangguan Jiu came over carrying a sprayer. She was very excited to see Luo’er.

They carefully stuffed the captured corpse demon into the containment bag, zipped it up, and then Shangguan Jiu began to spray the disinfectant, decontaminating everyone.

"The mission is over, you guys can also retreat now, right?" Murong asked Luo’er.

"You guys go ahead. We’re going to push a bit further, see if we can run into other specimens, like Exotic Insects or Exotic Beasts," Luo’er declined.

"Alright, once we’ve transported the samples, we’ll hover in place and standby. Call us whenever you need," Murong nodded, then motioned for his team members to board the plane with the samples.

After watching Murong and his team board the plane and leave, Cheng Ziang approached Luo’er and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Your theory is correct; there’s not much threat in the central area of the epidemic zone, so I believe it’s necessary to explore further. When our advance team deploys, we never return the same day we leave," Luo’er replied.

"You want to investigate that mystery person who killed the Corpse Demons, right?" Cheng Ziang immediately saw through Luo’er’s intent.

"Yes, I want to know who can still move around in the central area of the epidemic zone at such a time. Perhaps, this can be a breakthrough in this disaster," Luo’er looked at him and said.

"Then what about them?" asked Cheng Ziang, pointing at the sky.

"Let them go back. Since there’s not much danger in this area, there’s no need for aerial support anymore. There’s probably a great need for transport capacity elsewhere," Luo’er said, looking up at the two transport planes in the sky.

The original purpose of the transport plane support was to deal with potential large-scale enemy swarms. If the center of the epidemic zone is not that dangerous, then naturally there’s no need for them to stay airborne and provide support. After all, threats in this area can be handled by the advance team, and if worst comes to worst, they could always call for reinforcements.

Following a conversation with Luo’er, the two transport planes eventually began to climb and then left. Although it felt like they had nowhere to fall back to for safety without the planes, they actually felt much more relaxed without the transport planes hovering above them.

"Let’s continue our investigation in the village to see if there are any new discoveries. Fula, you’re on alert at all times. If you sense that strange soul again, notify me immediately!" Luo’er instructed after surveying everyone.

"Understood!" Fulajie’er nodded, then performed a few somersaults in the air.

They had already completed the sample collection of the Corpse Demons, so if they encountered them again, there would be no need to capture them alive; they could simply kill them on sight. Corpse Demons move sluggishly and are mainly a threat due to their numbers and high infection rate, so a small number of isolated Corpse Demons pose no risk to them.

For Luo’er, the greatest threats were always the nimble and extremely lethal annihilation creatures, as well as the unseen danger.

Various clues suggested that this person had probably noticed them as soon as the advance team landed, and might have been following them the whole time. Luo’er had to guard against him. After all, if the deaths of those Corpse Demons could be linked to this person, it would mean that this person was not simple.

Currently, the epidemic zone was surrounded by the Church Court’s forces, and there were very few people or factions capable of moving around in the central area. It’s even rarer for someone to single-handedly kill so many Corpse Demons. Luo’er even worried that it could be an agent from the CIA making mischief.

Since the advance team had headed south, they hadn’t had much direct confrontation with the enforcers. However, according to people at the headquarters, their activities in the Otherworld seemed very active. It was rumored that the CIA was continually expanding their operations in the Otherworld, receiving large funding from Congress every year, and even showing a lack of respect towards the President, constantly contradicting him.

As the advance team carefully searched through the village, they tried to find similar clues to the ones they found earlier. Luo’er, a materialist, couldn’t figure out how this person managed to carve up the Corpse Demons into pieces while also cutting down all the surrounding bushes.

Although Cheng Ziang proposed a so-called "Sakura Chaos Slash," Luo’er was in no way willing to believe it. He was more inclined to believe that this person, out of boredom, had randomly hacked around after killing the Corpse Demons, leveling all the nearby bushes in the process.

Shaking his head and sighing involuntarily, he dismissed the impractical notions that had entered his mind. They soon reached the other side of the village, which bordered a primeval forest. Just as he was about to signal his team to enter the forest, a chilling warning rang out behind him: "Don’t go in there, it’s dangerous!"
