Chapter 1916: Chapter 1916

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room became extremely awkward. Everyone feared the massive weapon in Ren Xingtang’s hand, with some even moving closer to Ryle for a sense of security.

But Ryle himself looked at Ren Xingtang and the soldiers behind him threatening the crowd with great interest. This unexpected situation, which ought to anger him, only made him more eager for what was to come.

"Old Ren, if you want to do something, say it clearly, and calm down!"

"Yes, yes, this isn’t something to joke about!"

In the conference room, others began to dissuade the man named Ren Xingtang, but he not only disregarded their words but snorted disdainfully, mocking them, "You brainless bunch, I’m telling you right here, the wisest choice is to join my side. Do you really think that guy is a good person?" As Ren Xingtang spoke, he pointed towards Ryle. His goal here was exactly for this guy!

The people, upon hearing this, instinctively glanced at Ryle, some becoming suspicious. They quickly realized Ren Xingtang’s target was the young man named "Lou Dashan" instead of themselves.

But why would this guy do this?

Many present who knew Ren Xingtang well understood that he wasn’t the type to act irrationally. Yet here was such a person threatening a group of influential figures at Mengjiao base with a highly dangerous weapon called the Flying Cloud Cannon at the World Wealth Garden. How insane!

"You..." Finally, someone realized there must be something fishy here and tried to ask what lay beneath, but as soon as a word was spoken, Ryle’s voice overwhelmed them!

"Oh? Why do you think I’m not a good person?"

Those who wanted to speak immediately fell silent, waiting for Ren Xingtang’s answer. He didn’t disappoint, spitting harshly on the ground before coldly telling Ryle, "Pah! Don’t assume I don’t know what you did behind the scenes. You’ve already killed Wang Wenguang, haven’t you?"

"What? Wang Wenguang is dead already?"

Ren Xingtang’s words caused an uproar, with people turning their gaze back to Ryle. Though none openly questioned him, each gaze carried suspicion.

Wang Wenguang, as spoken by the crowd, was the commander of a unit at Mengjiao base. After receiving information about a zombie swarm exceeding two million in number located sixty kilometers west, three hours ago, his unit was mobilized as the vanguard to investigate, mainly to confirm whether such a massive black insect swarm truly existed. This action was because the information came from the anti-human organization, before which there was no news regarding this location from Mengjiao base.

If the black insect swarm was indeed confirmed to exist, reaching two million in size, it would be considered to mislead the swarm away using lure agents while still far from Mengjiao base. Unfortunately, when Wang Wenguang led his troops to the assigned location, they lost contact with headquarters, and since then, neither Wang Wenguang nor his troops had relayed any information back to Mengjiao base.

This led people to suspect Wang Wenguang and his nearly thousand-strong unit had been submerged by the swarm!

Among a zombie swarm of over two million, if there wasn’t a high-level mentally controlling special evolved zombie, there undoubtedly would be at least six Level 7 zombies, but this is a conservative estimate. It’s highly likely that there is a Level 8 zombie amidst them!

It’s worth noting that Level 8 zombies aren’t as rare as Level 8 New Humans. By now in the Apocalypse, the ratio of Level 8 zombies to humans has reached a terrifying one to seven or eight!

Moreover, these high-level zombies are highly sensitive to the scent of living beings. If not far enough, once detected by a high-level zombie, even if hidden in the most secretive and elusive place, they can still dig through to find you!

Not to mention a black insect swarm that belongs to the descendant royal family zombies of the Abyssal Zombie King?

People had to consider if Wang Wenguang, who lost contact, wasn’t consumed by the swarm but was killed by other members of the anti-human organization, then what is their true aim? Thıs content belongs to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

This is not typical for them. Given the current power of the anti-human organization, there’s no need for such intricate maneuvers!

They possess the capability to overthrow the entire Mengjiao Sanctuary City!

However, perhaps this "Lou Dashan" young man’s words are half-true; the anti-human organization indeed seeks a place for survival, yet they aren’t willing to share total control with local leadership. They aim to directly seize control of Mengjiao base!

But in that case, it makes even less sense; we aren’t before the Apocalypse, in the current times, resolving matters through force is swifter than anything!

Could it be the anti-human organization doesn’t want too many casualties from war?

This sounds too absurd—the anti-human organization worrying about too many dead in a conflict! In their eyes, human lives are the cheapest!

The present crowd racked their brains yet couldn’t fathom the true intentions of the anti-human organization, unaware they had actually stumbled upon the truth—indeed, the anti-human organization wanted more people at Mengjiao base to survive. Otherwise, they wouldn’t bother with such convolutions.

Precisely because of this, no one dared to jump to conclusions, only urgent in the desire to uncover the truth, pondering the ins and outs of everything.

Especially Ren Xingtang’s prior reminder, stirring imaginations far and wide, leading to thoughts of unforeseen dreadful events, however, with hesitance to accept!

Regarding Ren Xingtang’s words, Ryle didn’t answer immediately, only surveying him with a strange smile. When the atmosphere became heated, he spoke: "Oh my, I wouldn’t dare confirm that; if you want to accuse me, you need to provide evidence, don’t you?"

"Humph..." Ren Xingtang scoffed, "I may not have evidence, but Wang Wenguang is dead, that’s a fact!" Speaking, he turned his gaze to the others and loudly proclaimed, "Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure you all know me well. Haven’t you noticed anything unusual lately?"

"What... is unusual?"

"Do you know what you’re saying?"

"What do you mean? Can you be clear!" In a moment, sensitive nerves were again provoked, some exchanging glances, others staying silent. Ren Xingtang didn’t hesitate, directly stating, "I’m asking now, of everyone present here, how many still remain their true selves?"
