Little Grass had been dead for four days. It was unfortunate that the information within was only now being discovered, but one piece of information sent a chill down Wang Chao's spine: the old man who had died had previously contacted Zhang Fusheng and had even shared the method to control Zombies with him. But why would the old man do such a thing? Wang Chao couldn't figure it out. Although the document did not mention a specific time, Wang Chao could tell that these events must have occurred after Jian Xiaoqing's death; otherwise, given Zhang Fusheng's character at that time, he would never have acquired such technology without using it to help humanity.
Wang Chao even speculated that it was likely because of these events that Zhang Fusheng truly began to change. Previously, Zhang Fusheng had told him he wanted to accomplish something significant—something he couldn't even let Wang Chao know about, something that could only be completed by a team of diamond-level experts. What could this task be? A conspiracy began to rise in Wang Chao's mind.
Based on several facts: Zhang Fusheng intended to do something big, he had found that mysterious team, he possessed the ability to control Zombies, and lastly, he now hated all of humanity. When these facts were combined, Wang Chao could only arrive at one explanation—the only explanation: Zhang Fusheng wanted to use the power of Zombies to destroy all of humanity. At this thought, Wang Chao felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He could no longer sit still; he had to return immediately. Although he didn't know when Zhang Fusheng would execute this plan, it would surely be soon.
When leaving Tibet, Zhang Fusheng might have already begun implementing this plan.
"We need to return to Huaxia immediately; there may be danger!" Wang Chao exclaimed as he hurriedly sat up from the grass and shouted to the others nearby.
Everyone was confused about Wang Chao's sudden intense reaction. It was only then that Wang Chao revealed the part of Little Grass's Storage Ring concerning Zhang Fusheng. After hearing Wang Chao's analysis, everyone fell into silence. None of them had ever seen Zhang Fusheng; even Da Qiang had been unconscious at that time. Therefore, Wang Chao was the only one who had encountered Zhang Fusheng.
And since Wang Chao was Zhang Fusheng's best brother, who else could they trust if not him?
Using Little Grass's Spatial Ring, Wang Chao directly stored those large and complex instruments inside, saving a lot of hassle with transportation and unloading. Just an hour later, everyone boarded the massive transport plane. The aircraft flying in the sky became invisible; although it wasn't achieved through spatial physics technology, being invisible was still an incredible feat.
"This plane?" Wang Chao asked in confusion.
Shen Zhitao looked at the plane and then at Wang Chao before saying, "After Little Grass took you away, a Spatial Ring was left behind on the ground. The plane and the instruments that saved you were all inside that Spatial Ring. There was also a way to reach this island. At first, I thought it was just left by you, but then I realized that such technology isn't something you could possess. When we arrived on the island during the battle with Little Grass, he retrieved this ring. That's when I understood—Little Grass wanted to kill you but also wanted to save you..."
"It seems Little Grass left me a way out..." Wang Chao said. "But let's not dwell on that; how soon can we get back to Huaxia?"
Shen Zhitao replied, "If we activate maximum speed, it will take just one day. However, your body can't handle such rapid movement; therefore, at our current speed, it will take two days to return to Huaxia. This is also the safest speed. But considering we've only been gone for five days, there shouldn't be any major issues in Huaxia. Could Zhang Fusheng really anticipate that you would be injured?"
"Since the old man had contact with Zhang Fusheng before, we can't overlook this point." At that moment, Wang Chao was gazing at the clouds rushing past outside the transport plane and continued, "Zhang Fusheng is no fool..."
The plane was flying fast, and within just a day, it had reached Huaxia. From above, the Safe Zones looked like ruins, filled with Zombies and remnants of destruction. It was a chilling sight, devoid of any human traces, shrouded in darkness, as if a Zombie crisis had just erupted...
Fear, devastation, and despair were the hallmarks of this scene.
"What happened!" Everyone was stunned by the sight before them. Wang Chao's words were finally confirmed to be true; Huaxia had turned into a paradise for Zombies. The plane was high up, making humans and Zombies appear as tiny ants. Waves of them surged out, small black dots quickly swallowed by many others. It became clear that humanity was being consumed by Zombies.
"What do we do now?" Shen Zhitao quietly asked Wang Chao.
Wang Chao pondered for a moment before addressing Shen Zhitao, who was piloting the plane. "Head to Jing City. We need to see if this phenomenon is localized or nationwide. If it's just local, we can return immediately and eliminate these Zombies. If it's nationwide, then we're in trouble..."
Wang Chao clenched his fists and said to everyone, "If it's nationwide, there's not much we can do. Fortunately, over the past three years, we've trained many troops scattered across various Safe Zones. We're better prepared than when the Zombie crisis first broke out. First, we go to Jing City, then to the Imperial Capital, and finally to Zhonghu Safe Zone. We must protect these three places; they are humanity's last hope!"
No one disagreed. Almost everyone here had loved ones in Jing City—like Xiaowei Yiyi and Yang Mengying among others. If they couldn't protect their own families, how could they save anyone else? The plane flew towards Jing City; it would only take a few hours to get there. However, along the way, they witnessed a scene they dreaded most.
The Zombie frenzy was not localized; it was nationwide. Almost everywhere looked the same. The Zombies that had seemingly disappeared suddenly surged forth that day, embarking on a frenzied journey of consumption. Among them were mutated Zombies and monsters. Some military forces within the Safe Zones were still holding their ground, but this scene was everywhere. Even if Wang Chao and his group could assist one Safe Zone, they couldn't cover them all.
It seemed that Zhang Fusheng had truly brought things to this point.
