"You bastard!"
Seeing all the hired mutants fleeing the company, Cole cursed angrily.
He raised his gun, ready to open fire on Chu Nan and Lin Qingya, but hesitated for a moment before ultimately giving up and turning around to escape.
This person was an Awakened Ancient Bloodline, of great importance to the Monard Biotech Company and the Field family.
Especially the Field family, rumored to be descendants of the Ancient Bloodline. They had spent a lot of resources and manpower to find this Awakened Ancient Bloodline person.
If he killed this person, the Field family would definitely not spare him!
Therefore, after a brief hesitation, he turned and fled without firing a shot.
"Roar...!"
However, as soon as he ran a short distance, the King of Corpses leaped behind him. Almost simultaneously, a large hand resembling a fan swung towards him, causing him to quickly activate his ability.
In the next moment, scales appeared on his body, enveloping him.
"Crack...!"
However, the swinging hand didn't hit his body, but grabbed hold of the scales, tearing a large piece off.
"Ah...!"
Amidst a scream, his arms and legs were broken, and he collapsed weakly to the ground. At the same time, his ability disappeared as well.
"No, no, please don't kill me!"
Seeing the zombie grab his clothes and lift him up, Cole screamed in fear.
However, the zombie didn't kill him. Instead, it threw him behind and tossed him together with the incapacitated mutant whose limbs had been broken.
"Damn it, thank goodness I ran fast!"
"This zombie is so powerful, it's not even afraid of bullets!"
"Damn it, it's not worth risking our lives for two boxes of bread and a box of beer!"
In the distance, the three mutants who had immediately fled upon realizing the situation, saw that Cole had also been disabled, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
They were just temporary hired thugs of the Monard Biotech Company, not Cole's subordinates.
The reward for this mission was two boxes of bread and a box of beer per person!
Originally, they thought that with the mercenaries' protection, this mission would be easy. But who would have thought that they would encounter such a difficult situation shortly after entering the mountains?
At this moment, they didn't care about the reward anymore, they just wanted to save their own lives!
"Roar...!"

However, they didn't have much time to rejoice. They saw the zombie chasing after them.
The jumping ability of the zombie was astonishing, with just one leap, it could cover several meters.
In the blink of an eye, it caught up to them.
"Xiao Xu, quickly entangle it with vines!"
"Otherwise, none of us can escape!"
Seeing the King of Corpses getting closer and closer, the lanky man who had the replay ability shouted.
"So you want me to entangle it with vines and let you all escape?"
"I'd rather stay behind to feed the zombies!"
"Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me!"
"If I'm going to die, we'll all die together!"
Xiao Xu taunted a few times, then continued to run desperately.
"If you're not going to help us, don't blame me for being impolite!"
However, just as the young and strong man ran to the front, a big hand grabbed him by the collar from behind and threw him towards the zombie.
"Old Smoky, you sneaky bastard!"
Seeing that it was the old man playing tricks on him, Xiao Xu cursed in anger.
However, it was already too late. His body flew straight toward the zombie.
"Damn it, since I can't survive!"
"Neither of you will survive either!"
Caught off guard by the sneak attack, Xiao Xu suddenly activated his ability while in mid-air.
In the next moment, the two people who were desperately running ahead had their legs entangled by vines, causing them to fall to the ground with a thud.
"Xiao Xu, I curse your ancestors!"
The two trapped individuals cursed in frustration.
Not only did this person not help them, he even hindered them?
Now it would be very difficult for them to escape!
"Is this even possible?"
In the distance, seeing the three men's ridiculous actions, Chu Nan couldn't help but be amused.
Caught one, but unexpectedly this person helped catch the other two?
"Crack, crack...!"
"Ah...!"
Amidst the screams, the King of Corpses broke the limbs of the three men, and then dragged them back like dead dogs.
"Master, they are all mutants."
"How should we deal with them?"
A detective walked up to Chu Nan, drooling and eagerly asked.
He wasn't interested in ordinary people, but he was very envious of mutants!
"Call the zombie from earlier."
"Give it one to eat, and take the rest back with us."
After a brief thought, Chu Nan made a decision.
Currently, he had brought four high-level zombies, one of them had already evolved into a King of Corpses, and the other two were still sleeping but would soon evolve into Kings of Corpses.
Only one had not yet evolved!
He planned to feed all four of the zombies he brought and the remaining mutants to become Kings of Corpses, while the other four high-level zombies at home would be fed with the remaining mutants.
If he could raise another four Kings of Corpses, then he would truly establish a solid footing in Pujiang.
"Yes!"
"Master!"
Although disappointed that they didn't get to taste flesh and blood, the detective still complied with Chu Nan's orders.
He yelled loudly, and not long after, the zombie that had hidden in the woods earlier came running out.
"These five are all mutants, you can only eat one!"
Chu Nan explained and gestured to the high-level zombie.
As soon as it heard that all five were mutants, the zombie's eyes immediately lit up.
"Grunt, grunt...!"
Rubbing its hands together, it circled the five people, seemingly excited and not knowing which one to eat first.
"Don't eat me!"
"As long as you don't eat me, I'm willing to exchange a secret with you!"
"They found the Dragon Egg, it's on the mountaintop in the one o'clock direction."
"Yes, yes, yes! Earlier, one of Cole's companions said over the walkie-talkie that they should gather at the mountaintop in the one o'clock direction."
"This time, Monard Biotech Company sent more than thirty people into the mountains to search for the Dragon Egg. Cole's team of ten is just a small unit, the rest of the twenty-plus people are led by someone named Greene."
"I know where the gathering point is, I can take you there!"
"I also know that it's all rocks there, suitable for helicopters to take off and land."
"By the way, the military also sent people into the mountains today. Their helicopter landed there."
Before the zombie had a chance to bite, the four Chinese mutants all rushed to speak.
At first, only one person was begging for mercy, but as soon as he mentioned the Dragon Egg, the other three started to suck up and spilled everything that Cole and Greene had said on the walkie-talkie.
From what they said, Chu Nan learned that the Chinese military had found the Dragon Egg, and Monard wanted to ambush and intercept them.
"Let's eat this one first!"
After some consideration, Chu Nan pointed to Cole and said to the high-level zombie.
