At this time, many people from the research center had gathered downstairs in the building where Sun Qiang was being held.
Fortunately, this was a controlled area within the city that ordinary people could not enter, so the personnel were managed.
"Is that the roar of a zombie?"
"It sounds like it, but how can there be zombies in the city? We've been researching the zombie virus and have only ever taken parts of zombie organizations!"
"Yes, having a live zombie in the city is a certain danger."
"I hope it's not a real zombie, it sounds so much like it!"
"Shh, City Lord Lu and City Lord Lin are here. If there's a zombie, they'll probably announce it to everyone. Let's not speculate wildly for now."
"Yes, let's wait for the official announcement. Perhaps they're just researching zombie sounds, and someone here has made a recording and is playing it publicly."
"......"
"Look, City Lord Lu and the others have gone in. It should be fine in a moment..."
Lu Heng and Lin Yu quickly arrived at the room where Sun Qiang was being held. Besides Sun Qiang, there was another man in the room. Judging by his clothing, he also seemed to be from the research center, but Lu Heng and the others had never seen him before.
"Roar... Haa... Roar roar roar..."
"City Lord Lu, City Lord Lin, you're finally here."
Lu Heng nodded at Chen Dong, then looked at Sun Qiang.
Sun Qiang was constantly banging against the cage, with such force that it seemed to make the room shake.
Its eyes were fixed on one spot. When Lu Heng and the others entered, Sun Qiang paid them no attention.
Sun Qiang's behavior was very strange. With several humans standing in front of it, if it were to go mad, it should have been directed at the people in the room. However, Lu Heng noticed that its gaze was constantly directed towards a wall in the room.
That direction was...
Lu Heng took out his tablet, which contained a map of the country. He compared it carefully and realized that the direction was towards Luo City.
"This... this distance isn't far, and there haven't been any incidents before."
Lin Yu leaned over to look at the tablet in Lu Heng's hand.
"It shouldn't be."
Lu Heng also felt that Sun Qiang wasn't attracted by the aliens in Luo City. Although many zombies were attracted there, they were only drawn from a certain range.
"I'll calm him down first."
Lu Heng glanced at Chen Dong. "You two go out. I'll try to calm him down."
Chen Dong nodded and quickly left with the person beside him.
After everyone had left, Lu Heng released Lin Xue from his spatial storage.
It was Lin Xue who had controlled Sun Qiang before, allowing him to successfully bring Sun Qiang back to Wuming City.
Now that Sun Qiang was out of control, and without killing him, Lin Xue was the only option.
Lin Yu knew about Lin Xue. Lu Heng had contracted Lin Xue with Lin Yu present.
Therefore, only Lu Heng and Lin Yu were in the room at this moment.
"Lin Xue." Lin Yu saw Lin Xue and knew that although it was still a zombie, it had intelligence, so he greeted it.
Lin Xue did not speak, only nodded at Lin Yu.
"Control him and calm him down."
Lu Heng gave the order to Lin Xue.
Lin Xue took a few steps forward, focused its gaze on Sun Qiang, and soon, Sun Qiang quieted down, no longer roaring or crashing against the cage.
However, it did not leave. It stayed close to the cage, its face still turned in the same direction.
"Master, he's becoming a bit uncontrollable."
"You can't control him either? What's going on?"
"Master, I feel something attracting me."
"What?" Lu Heng looked at Lin Xue, his face full of shock. Had Lin Xue also been attracted by the aliens?
He had released Lin Xue in Luo City before, but nothing like this had happened.
He had previously thought that Lin Xue was not attracted by the aliens because of their contract.
But what did Lin Xue mean just now?
"What are your feelings?"
"It's... that kind of attraction originating from my bloodline. Something over there wants to awaken certain cognitions within my body..."
"Damn it, Lu Ge, what's wrong with Lin Xue?" Lin Yu couldn't hear Lu Heng and Lin Xue's conversation, but he noticed Lin Xue's abnormality.
Lin Xue had also adjusted its direction. Both it and Sun Qiang were now facing the same wall.
"I don't know. Let's watch for now. If it doesn't work, I'll recall Lin Xue." Lu Heng was intently observing Lin Xue at this moment.
"Beep beep beep..."
At this tense moment, the alien communicator Lu Heng had placed in his spatial storage suddenly rang.
Lu Heng took out the communicator, and immediately, a light screen was projected onto it, displaying Bora.
"Lu Heng, are you there?"
"Yes." Lu Heng clicked the connect button, but his gaze remained fixed on Lin Xue's reaction.
Lin Xue's level was too high. If Lin Xue, who was now on par with him, became uncontrollable, he would have created a zombie king for the world.
He thought that if Lin Xue truly lost the restriction of their contract, he would eliminate Lin Xue immediately.
"I'm near your city. Do you want to come out to meet me, or should I come in directly?"
"What?" Lu Heng and Lin Yu were both shocked. They turned their gaze to the projected image.
At this moment, they could clearly see that the background behind Bora was not within their space in Luo City.
Behind her was flat land with no buildings nearby.
"Lu Ge, why does this look so familiar?"
What else could be familiar?
That background was outside Wuming City. Only Wuming City had cleared a flat area outside its walls.
Although recently some people had chosen settlement points near Wuming City, they had all found abandoned towns some distance away from Wuming City.
"You need to leave here quickly. I'll go out and find you."
Damn it, if Bora entered the city, Wuming City and its surroundings would have no peace, and it would attract zombies.
At that time, people in the vicinity, without any preparation, would be in great trouble.
After all, they chose to settle near Wuming City because Wuming City had cleared out many zombies in the surrounding areas, and zombies were rarely seen for a large distance around.
But Bora must have brought quite a few followers along the way.
He didn't know how many zombies were following Bora.
"I just came to see your city. Can't I come in?" Bora seemed confused.
"Look behind you. Did you bring zombies with you?"
"Uh, some. They've been following me..."
"It's over!" Lin Yu slapped his forehead.
Lu Heng looked at Lin Yu. "Hurry up and give the order. Maintain full alert, and send people to notify the survivor settlements near Wuming City to also be on alert."
"What about Sun Qiang and Lin Xue?"
"I'll take Lin Xue outside to see if she can still control zombies. If not, I'll take Bora away, and perhaps we can lead those zombies away too."
