Although the enthusiasm of Zhang Cheng and the others has passed, there are still many foreigners who would look at the Gate of the Abyss before.

However, it should be afternoon in China at this time, so there were more faces of East Asian descent at the Gate of the Abyss, so no one saw Zhang Cheng and the others when they came out.

It happened that everyone used their abilities in the abyss world to consume a lot of energy, so Zhang Yue simply took everyone to a private room in a nearby Hunan restaurant and ordered a few dishes and rice to do a "craniotomy".

"What a scam! Prices here are probably three times more expensive than ours!" Gu Feng complained crazily.

"How normal. Our place is a few rings away, and the rent of the shops here is also high."

Zhang Yue took a chopstick and put Hanshuang Kui beef from a certain abyssal world into Zhang Cheng's bowl, and then gave Gu Feng another chopstick, "Eat first, and then take the evolutionary seed after eating, otherwise it will be disgusting." .”

They didn't have money to eat at a place like this before, so now they just complain a little, but they still have the signature dishes they should order.

How could we not give Zhang Cheng, the greatest hero, more food?

Zhang Cheng smiled and said nothing, just started eating happily.

After having enough water and food, Zhang Yue took out the Blood Corpse King's head, and then looked at Zhang Cheng expectantly, "Hurry, Cheng!"

Zhang Cheng casually threw a white light up, and then Zhang Yue couldn't wait to start "opening the box and drawing cards."

As the blue light appeared, the four people except Zhang Cheng all looked disappointed, "How can a gatekeeper BOSS with a nightmare survivability level be rare?"

Seeing the "As expected" expression on Zhang Cheng's face, Zhang Yue raised her hand and tapped his forehead, "A Cheng, did you find something? Tell me quickly!"

The other three people also hurriedly looked over.

"It's nothing." Zhang Cheng pointed to the head that had been cut in half, "It's just that this Blood Corpse King may not be the real Blood Corpse King."

"Ah?" The four people looked at each other, "How do you say this?"

Zhang Cheng tapped his fingers on the table, "It's very simple. In fact, I always found it strange when I was in the abyss world. If the Blood Corpse King only has a territorial awareness similar to that of a beast, why would it choose a water plant?"

The Blood Corpse King is the guardian BOSS, so it is the strongest monster in City A under the "nightmare survivability".

So why did it choose the waterworks as its territory?

Fang Bo tentatively put forward his own idea, "Maybe because it was already there? For example, it was an employee of the water plant in front of it, or it died in the water plant."

Zhang Cheng first confirmed his idea, and then said: "Yes, at first I thought it might just be an accident, but after we killed all the ordinary zombies, the Blood Corpse King didn't come out until we destroyed the factory. Just jumped out."

Gu Feng thoughtfully said, "So Acheng, you think the Blood Corpse King specifically chose the water plant as its territory. This place is very important to it."

Then several people all frowned.

Because this means... the Blood Corpse King has a certain level of intelligence, rather than a simple beastly mind.

But in this way, its behavior of jumping out rashly like a wild beast guarding its territory seems a bit strange.

"The sewage flowing from the faucets in residential areas most likely proves that the Blood Corpse King is the source of infection, or at least the source of pollution in that city."

Zhang Cheng began to explain his speculation, "Originally, I just thought it might have high intelligence, but now it's confirmed.

"Don't you think it's strange why there isn't a mutant zombie in the waterworks?"

As soon as he said these words, Zhang Yue and others were startled.

Yes, why?

Although there weren't many zombies in the waterworks, there were at least a hundred of them. Proportionally speaking, there would have to be at least three or four mutated zombies, but why didn't they see any of them?

"So either the Blood Corpse King is too territorial and the other mutated zombies were driven away by him, or... he was swallowed up by it. As you can see, its body looks like a stitch monster. .”

Zhang Cheng picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea, and then continued slowly, "So I don't think it is the real Blood Corpse King. In the final analysis, it is just a clone formed by the Blood Corpse King controlling part of his own body.

“It’s intelligence is not low, and the reason why it behaves like a beast is intentional.

"I even think that the zombies in the water plant, including this so-called Blood Corpse King, were deliberately sent out for us to kill, so that we can leave after killing them to avoid putting themselves in danger.

"Now that this head has only developed a rare evolutionary seed after being strengthened by me, it confirms my suspicion."

Zhang Yue was puzzled, "Why is it afraid of us? We have never seen it before, and isn't the abyss world a projection? It can't have relevant memories."

Gu Feng suddenly raised his head, "No, maybe it's not us that it's afraid of. Although our mission is only the 'Crazy Corpse City That Never Sleeps', the actual 'Crazy Corpse Land' is the entire world, maybe the entire planet, or even bigger. There It is normal to have zombies that have evolved to a higher level than it.

"Maybe there are actually survivors in that world and they are very powerful. I don't know for sure."

After a pause, Gu Feng immediately began to urge everyone, "There is another possibility. This is its instinct, and its body is not actually strong! I think as long as we can kill this clone within half an hour of entering the abyss world, it will be fine. It can trigger the mechanism, and its true form will appear when the time comes! What are we waiting for? Let’s go quickly!”

The other people he talked about were quite moved.

Several people looked at each other and Zhang Yue finally made the decision, "Okay, I'll go check out and we'll set off right away!"

Half an hour later, they entered the abyss world again.

This time they still appeared in an office building near the city's central square. Then they looked at each other and rushed to the water plant without stopping.

After almost ignoring the ordinary zombies blocking their way and avoiding the mutated zombies, they arrived at the water plant in only twenty-five minutes.

The water plant during the day was not as weird as at night, but the buildings and the various irregular blood stains on the ground were still desolate and cold.

Fang Bo stayed to protect Su Yu, while Zhang Cheng and the others rushed into the factory and started killing.

After they were all killed, they immediately exited the factory gate, and then Gu Feng, Zhang Yue, and Fang Bo began to dismantle the factory.

As expected, the Blood Corpse King crawled out of the ruins again.

It bared its teeth and roared, "Kouzi——"

As a result, before the roar could be completed, a black waning moon and a silver-gray crescent moon were facing him, followed by orange flames and countless translucent bullets flying towards them.

"???"

Before it could react, it was blasted to pieces until only its head was left.

Until it lost consciousness, it couldn't figure out why the humans on the other side were so ungrateful.

He casually put the Blood Corpse King's head into the ring. Zhang Yue still held the long knife and looked around vigilantly, "Is it time for the real Blood Corpse King to come out?"

"Wait for the prompt first." As soon as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, they heard the prompt.
