After using [Stealth], Xu Feng's temperament suddenly changed. The usual impetuousness and neutrality were completely gone, replaced by a coldness similar to that of a poisonous snake.

If [Eternal Ghost] is Qifeng's core skill, then [Stealth] is definitely the most suitable skill for him, complementing his assassin style!

Even after entering the stealth state, Xu Feng's instinct as a killer began to slowly awaken!

"The original data showed that the entrance to the laboratory is at the bottom of the lake, so let's find the lake first." Qifeng thought to himself.

After determining the target, Qifeng walked into the land of death.

Under the influence of stealth, no one noticed that the place of death that usually no one cares about welcomed the second uninvited guest today!

After entering the land of death, Qifeng deliberately restrained his aura, and the occasional sounds he made inadvertently were perfectly hidden by the [Dark Spirit Cloak].

Even if someone passes by Qifeng at this time, they will not notice that there is a big living person here! Only slight depressions appeared from time to time in the thick grass, proving that Qifeng had indeed entered the land of death.

After walking for a long time, suddenly, a faint sound caught Qifeng's attention. It sounded like something was approaching quickly.

"Could he be a blood-blue person? Just in time, it saves me the trouble of searching." Qufeng stopped and thought to himself.

After a while, the appearance of the visitor was completely exposed to Qifeng's field of vision.

"Corpse eater? What a pity, it's not a living person." Qifeng showed a look of regret.

The corpse eater's tongue was firmly tied to a person, who seemed to be unconscious, allowing the corpse eater to move him quickly.

Soon, the corpse eater arrived less than ten meters away from Qifeng.

Suddenly, the corpse eater stopped and looked doubtfully in the direction of Qifeng.

"Has it been discovered?" Qifeng was shocked.

With his strength, the corpse eater cannot cause any trouble, and even Qifeng can easily kill the corpse eater.

The problem is, his mission this time is not to kill, but to explore. Once the corpse eater is killed, his whereabouts will most likely be exposed! The exploration mission is bound to not go smoothly.

Fortunately, the corpse eater just felt something strange and didn't really notice Qifeng. After looking at it for a while, he turned around and continued on his way.

"Huh - it's so dangerous." Xufeng breathed a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Qifeng's eyes lit up. "Since that corpse eater is carrying a person, it must be sent to the laboratory. As long as you follow it, you can find the location of the laboratory!"

Feeling happy, Qifeng followed the corpse eater cautiously.

During the action, Xu Feng was always highly focused to avoid stepping on things he shouldn't have stepped on. The vigilance of the corpse eater just now made Qifeng have to be even more careful.

After about five minutes, the corpse eater stopped and stood there looking around, as if waiting for something.

Qifeng also quickly stopped and hid aside to wait for the corpse eater's next move.

Not long after, there was another sound from behind. Qifeng looked back and saw another corpse eater running over, its tongue also curling around a person.

Behind it, corpse eaters appeared one after another. The difference is that the corpse eaters who came later returned empty-handed and did not capture any humans.

"One, two, three...twenty-four." After no more corpse-eaters appeared, Qifeng counted them and found that there were as many as twenty-four such creatures!

Twenty-four corpse eaters gathered together and roared from time to time.

Suddenly, there was another burst of footsteps.

"Someone is coming!" Xufeng perked up. The footsteps were obviously different from those of corpse eaters. They were definitely human footsteps!

Sure enough, with the help of the faint starlight, Qifeng saw two figures approaching from a distance.

These were two middle-aged men, both wearing white clothes, which seemed to be standard clothing.

Walking up to the corpse eaters, one of them frowned and said, "Only two? The harvest is getting less and less."

The other man nodded. "Yeah, at first thirty corpse eaters could bring back thirty humans every day, but now it's only in single digits."

"But this should be reasonable. After all, there are very few survivors left in the city. They are either dead or captured by us. The rest are just fish that slipped through the net."

"That's what I said, but the research is not over yet, and the experimental materials are getting less and less. If this continues..."

"Huh? Did you notice that there are five less corpse eaters?"

"There are five missing. They must have been killed."

"Being killed? What happened?" The man was very interested in what his companion said and asked curiously.

Although the corpse eater is only a test subject, it is also very powerful.

They created a total of thirty corpse eaters, and except for one that was killed by a passing mutant beast at the beginning, the number of corpse eaters has never been reduced.

But today, there were five missing all of a sudden, making this person very curious about what happened.

"I heard that this time it seems that some powerful enemy has discovered our place. Not only the corpse eaters, but also Lord Lihe and Lord Linchuan are dead!"

"What!?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, this is just gossip. Don't make it public after you go back, otherwise it will spread to other adults' ears, and I'm afraid it will end badly for you and me."

"This... I understand. This kind of thing is not something we little people should worry about. Let's go and take these two people back."

The two took the "trophies" from the corpse-eater, each carried one on his back, turned around and walked in the direction they came from.

Qifeng watched the two people leave, carefully bypassed the many corpse eaters, and caught up with them, always keeping a distance of five meters from them.

The two of them twisted around and stopped in a bush.

Qifeng stood behind them and watched the changes.

One of them looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual, then reached out to press a stone on the ground and turned it hard.

With a roar, the bushes suddenly rose, and an underground passage appeared in front of the two people.

"So secretive? If it weren't for these two people leading the way, I might not have found this place." Qifeng secretly rejoiced. "But...where is the bottom of the lake that we agreed on?"

The two looked around again, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, they walked into the passage carrying the two prisoners on their backs. They didn't know that someone had already entered the passage before them!

The passage is not as long as expected, only about five meters. A metal wall lies in front of it. There is no other way except the entrance.

But Zifeng is not in a hurry, there are two people behind him to guide him!

After the two people entered the passage, they put their hands on the wall. Then, there was another roar, and the passage slowly closed.

Zifeng discovered that after the passage was closed, many gaps appeared in the surrounding walls.

"Is this... a drainage system? It turns out that this laboratory is really at the bottom of the lake, but the expansion of the map caused the terrain to change, causing the original artificial lake to disappear."

Originally, the entrance was at the bottom of the lake. If you want to enter the laboratory, you have to dive into the bottom of the lake. When the entrance opens, the place will be filled with water.

After people enter the channel, the entrance is closed and the drainage system is activated. In this way, people can enter and exit freely even if the entrance is at the bottom of the lake.
