Even with Hank's intellect, he understood the meaning behind the sentence.
The conspiracy tonight might topple the Hope Barrier and the entire Safety Sector No. 17.
"What if it doesn't work?"
At the edge of the northern forest, there was a mountain range that Safety Sector No. 17 called Mount Herrocky.
It stretched for more than 20 kilometers and was a branch of the Atto Mountain Range.
At this time, on one of the hills of Herrocky Mountain stood four figures in black robes and white masks.
Three of the figures were obviously humans, but the last one looked very strange. He was almost five meters tall and had an indescribably buff body. There were also a lot of details that were definitely not human.
The one who asked the question was this strange figure. His tone was strange, even more strange than a parrot's speech. His pronunciation was also very stiff.
"It doesn't matter. At least the important ones won't be exposed. There will be scapegoats! "The person who answered the question obviously had his voice processed as it sounded like a strange machine.
"Are the scapegoats reliable?" The strange figure asked in a mocking tone. He then added, "You know, the human heart is the most untrustworthy thing."
"You don't believe me? Why would you work with us? " As the two of them spoke, another figure spoke. His voice was also processed like a machine, but there was an obvious hint of anger in it.
"Hoho, I'm just joking." The strange figure did not want to argue.
"Don't argue. In short, the scapegoats are reliable. They are our men. Other than that, we can use this cleansing opportunity to remove some of the nails in Safety Sector No. 17. Of course, that is, if we fail, "the person who answered first explained again.
"Which means, regardless of whether we succeed or not tonight, you guys are undefeatable, right?" the strange figure added.
"As the old saying goes, a man without foresight will have immediate worries. It's necessary to plan for everything. It's best if we succeed tonight.
Of course, the flames of destruction will burn the whole planet. It's only a matter of time. We're not in a hurry. Hehehe … "It was at that moment that the last figure who had been quiet finally spoke with an indescribable sarcasm.
Under the hill, the entire battlefield ruins were right before their eyes. The garage area where the incident happened was exceptionally clear under the searchlight.

A huge web full of conspiracies was finally silently pulled open at this moment.
Tang Ling did not know how the situation had changed, nor did he know that he was one of the people who was deeply involved in it.
In fact, so what if he knew? Countless questions remained unanswered. For example, he was just a kid from the settlement, so why was he involved in the storm and targeted by so many people?
All Tang Ling wanted was to stay alive, but it might have become an extravagant wish because he had reached his limit. He was relying on his willpower to hold on, but how long could his willpower last?
It was an answer that his Precise Instinct could not provide.
Inside the garage, the zombies were still crowded. The sweet smell of Tang Ling's blood attracted the zombies and they were unwilling to leave.
The ground was piled up with dead zombies. The Fierce Dragon Squad, Tang Ling, and the Level 2 Crawler were all dead. In short, there was no empty space within a few meters of Tang Ling anymore.
The foul stench of the decaying blood of the zombies filled the air.
Tang Ling's vision was a little blurry. He had used up one of the two germ control potions that he kept earlier. The hard broken glass shards cut his tongue, but he kept the second one in his mouth and was ready to bite it at any moment.
The Level 2 Crawler was less than 10 meters away from Tang Ling. It raised its sharp claws and perforated another zombie's head.
It was not helping Tang Ling kill the zombies out of kindness, but the pride of a powerhouse was not to be challenged.
After evolving to Level 2, the Crawler gained the initial level of intimidating presence and was able to suppress normal zombies. Instinctively, the zombies feared the Crawler and dared not snatch its food.
However, the Crawler's greedy instinct was too powerful. Plus the temptation of fresh blood, there would always be some blind zombies who wanted to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth.
Therefore, the battle was not just between Tang Ling and the Level 2 Crawler. Both of them would have to kill the greedy zombies that popped up from time to time, which undoubtedly raised the difficulty of the battle to a whole new level.
"Three seconds, 17 degrees left, block, jump right," Tang Ling muttered some words that no one could understand.
While he muttered in his mind, he grabbed a section of the zombie's body and threw it 17 degrees to the left with all his might.
Bang! The broken corpse and the Level 2 Crawler crashed into each other as if they had planned it beforehand. At that exact moment, Tang Ling jumped to the right. Thud!
The Level 2 Crawler landed on the spot where Tang Ling was standing a moment ago. It was exactly three seconds.
Another missed attack caused its greyish-white eyes to be filled with human-like anger.
The prey in front of it had obviously reached its limit, so why was it always so close to being able to catch him?
Given the zombie's intellect, it could not think of anything. All it did was choose to attack Tang Ling again.
Based on its instinct, it knew time was on its side.
Clang! Tang Ling's knees could no longer support his body. The moment the Level 2 Crawler lunged at him, he fell limply to the ground.
His Precise Instinct, which was constantly calculating, allowed him to make the most accurate move. He raised his right hand and held the Wolf Crunch horizontally, blocking the front of his neck.
The Level 2 Crawler's teeth clashed with the Wolf Crunch, producing a clear clang. The sturdy Wolf Crunch broke half of the Level 2 Crawler's teeth, but it did not manage to bite Tang Ling's pulsating carotid artery that was filled with alluring blood.
However, the extreme blocking did not come without a price. The sharp nails on its left claw dug deep into the flesh on Tang Ling's left arm.
A wave of dizziness struck Tang Ling's brain. Activating his Precise Instinct to its limit had a huge side effect. Blood flowed out of his seven orifices and his face was covered in blood. He looked even more disgusting than the zombies.
Am I caught in the end? That was the only thought in Tang Ling's mind, but how could this filthy Level 2 Crawler have the right to enjoy his flesh?
With that thought in mind, Tang Ling seemed to have forgotten about his Precise Instinct. He used the most barbaric method and rammed his head into the Level 2 Crawler's head.
A loud thud startled the onlooking zombies who were eager to make a move. The Level 2 Crawler's body was knocked away for a short distance. The violent impact on its head caused it to feel dizzy uncontrollably.
Although it was controlled by the fungus, its nerves were still active and a part of its brain was still functioning, so when its head was rammed, it would definitely feel dizzy.
Tang Ling clenched his teeth and crushed the second bacteria control potion in his mouth. He was not as strong as the Level 2 Crawler, but he knew a trick. When one's head was rammed, clenching one's teeth could prevent one from feeling dizzy. All that was left was a strong willpower.
It seemed like the Level 2 Crawler had no willpower at all. The moment it felt dizzy, Tang Ling pulled its sharp claws out from his left arm and stood up wobbly.
Pui! Tang Ling spat out the bloody glass shards in his mouth. A zombie beside him did not care about the glass shards in the bloody foam as it crawled on the floor and licked it greedily.
Such a disgusting scene, could it be that this was the final scene of his funeral?
Tang Ling's right hand almost dropped the Wolf Crunch as he leaned on a broken rack. The scene before his eyes was about to shatter.
"So, I still lost the gamble?" Tang Ling smiled. Somehow, his hand that was holding the Wolf Crunch tightened its grip.
He was not a great person. The reason why he let his friends go first was because he was responsible for dragging the Fierce Dragon Squad into this mess.
However, the main reason was that he was taking a gamble. He was challenging his limits in order to get an answer.
However, he had pushed his limits time and time again. His body was squeezed dry to the point that his hunger was almost gone, yet the answer he sought did not appear.
Pcht! The Wolf Crunch plunged into the eye of a zombie that wanted to ambush him. Tang Ling pulled it out.
The Level 2 Crawler had woken up.
It would attack Tang Ling again in a second. Tang Ling was left with two choices. The first was to become food for the Level 2 Crawler.
The second was to kill himself with the Wolf Crunch and preserve his dignity as a human.
However, was he willing to do so?
The Level 2 Crawler arched its body. It was the prelude to an attack, and it was determined to kill Tang Ling this time!
Unwilling. Very unwilling. Tang Ling focused his mind again and screamed madly in his mind, 'Come out! Come out! Do you want to be buried with me?'
The Level 2 Crawler leaped up and extended its body in the air. It raised its left claw that was stained with Tang Ling's blood and drew an arc in the air. It was obviously aiming for Tang Ling's head.
If Tang Ling was in his prime form, he could have easily dodged the attack. His Precise Instinct could even calculate at least five ways to dodge and counterattack.
However, he could not do anything at the moment.
Was the Level 2 Crawler strong? It was, but there was a limit to how strong it was. At least in terms of strength and reflexes, they were on par.
The only thing that was stronger than Tang Ling was its speed, but Tang Ling could make up for it with his Precise Instinct.
However, what he could not make up for was the fact that it was an unequal battle because of the zombies' strong infectivity.
The higher the mutated level of the zombie, the stronger the infectivity. Even a scratch would not do.
That was the reason why a single Level 2 Crawler could wipe out the entire team. Once the bacteria control potion was used up, without a way to kill it in a single strike, the most likely outcome would be getting infected, losing the ability to fight and ending up as its food.
However, Tang Ling did not care about that. In his heart, since they were on par, he had to win. He could not accept such a defeat.
There was nothing else he could do. Tang Ling revealed a bitter smile on his face, but he refused to give in to his weakness and escape. He would not choose to commit suicide.
Then … Tang Ling looked at the Level 2 Crawler and suddenly moved his body. He opened his arms and faced the Level 2 Crawler.
His movement stunned the Level 2 Crawler for 0.2 seconds even though it did not have the ability to think beyond its instincts.
However, because of his movement, its sharp claws that were aiming for Tang Ling's head landed on his left shoulder instead.
Swoosh! The sharp claws easily tore through Tang Ling's battle uniform and scratched his flesh, creating a 60 cm long wound.
The fresh blood stimulated the Level 2 Crawler. The victory before its eyes excited it.
It landed on the ground and tried to bite Tang Ling.
"Hahahaha!" Tang Ling burst out in laughter with all his might. He opened his arms and hugged the Level 2 Crawler tightly.
The Level 2 Crawler bit Tang Ling's shoulder. It did not understand Tang Ling's action nor could it think. All it did was follow its instinct to feast on the Level 2 Crawler.
Tang Ling also bit the Level 2 Crawler's shoulder.
"You want to eat me, right? Let's eat together then. We're all hungry anyway! "Tang Ling's mouth was filled with the unique rotten stench of zombie meat, but he was delighted.
Are you the only one who can eat me? Can't I eat you? Let's see who gets eaten first!
The Level 2 Crawler did not feel pain, but Tang Ling's sudden action seemed to have triggered the instinctive fear that was buried deep in its heart. Only food could be devoured, and being devoured meant death. Was it devoured?
It was unknown whether it was the fear from the fungus that controlled the zombie or the lingering consciousness in the zombie's brain, but the Level 2 Crawler was stunned.
Tang Ling raised his head and bit a piece of flesh off the zombie's shoulder. He exerted the last of his strength to strangle the Level 2 Crawler.
"Are you afraid? Are you running away? You're stuck to the rules. How strong must my spirit be to wake you up?
"Is it only anger, sorrow, and despair that can gather the absolute spirit?"
No, there's also the spirit of a lunatic, right? "
Tang Ling's mind was already blurry, but he entered a strange state of clarity like the final radiance of the setting sun. His mind was roaring, but only he knew he was questioning the zombie.
He was questioning it why it wanted him to lose this gamble. Did it have to be in a desperate situation where his mind was completely blurry before it controlled his body to fight?
No, Tang Ling was betting on the control of the zombie in a state of absolute clarity! He did not want to be controlled, so he refused to give up the clear consciousness in his mind.
Tang Ling started to chew on the smelly flesh. It was the only way he could satisfy himself. He no longer longed for an answer.
If he was going to die, who could stop him from dying?
The Level 2 Crawler was infuriated. Was it eaten by food? How humiliating was that? Even without the ability to think, the rage was enough to drown its fear. Its teeth bit deeper into Tang Ling's shoulder, grinding against his bones.
With a little more strength, it could crush the bones, and when it raised its head, it could chew off a big piece of flesh together with the blood.
It would never be devoured by food.
It was excruciating pain. Being devoured, burned, and unable to die right away, it had to endure a long period of torture. It was enough to drive a person to the darkest corner of his mind.
Tang Ling did not. His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.
