The man retreated with his men like a tide.
He really came and left in a hurry. Did he come just to take a look? Shao Qing was almost certain that this man was the one behind all this, or at least one of them.
His strength was not weaker than hers. If there were other people as strong as him, it would be a nightmare for her.
The short exchange between the two of them caused many people's faces to turn pale, because they discovered that the instant Shao Qing and this man's aura clashed was enough to make them unable to breathe. This was only the aura, what if these two people made a move on them?
The man revealed something even more terrifying. He said that Shao Qing was a level-seven zombie king! Level seven … The strongest paranormal that had ever appeared among humans was only at level six.
There were only a few level-six superpowered human beings, but there was already a level-seven zombie king. That man should not be an ordinary person. Since he could fight against Shao Qing, he should be at least at level-seven!
The sense of crisis was so oppressive that their backs were about to bend. Some people couldn't help but wonder if they should secretly think of a way to kill Shao Qing first.
A level-seven zombie king … She was very likely to be the first level-nine zombie emperor in the world. No one knew if Shao Qing had the idea to attack all human beings, but what if?
What if she really attacked human beings? How many people could resist her?
Probably not even one …
Not to mention the vigilance in everyone's hearts, after the group of people blocked the way for a while, no one else blocked their way. They successfully reached the source of Yan River and finally understood why the poison in the water did not dissipate.
At the source of Yan River, there were corpses everywhere. They were all strange-looking corpses, which looked like zombies. Their bodies were full of large and small pustules. Once the pustules burst, black water would flow out.
The corpses were floating in the water at the source, which contained a lot of corpse poison. As long as there was fresh water, it would be quickly contaminated.
Everyone was stunned because there were just too many corpses. They were densely packed, and just looking at them made one's hair stand on end. There were at least a hundred floating corpses.
Shao Qing closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said, "Let's salvage a few bodies for research."
Then, she used the vines to fish out some corpses. These corpses had been soaked in the water for a long time and had become pale and bloated. However, one could still see the fear on their faces.
There were researchers among the people who came with them. They went forward to do a simple examination of the corpses and were all stunned. Meng Shen calmed himself down and reported, "After the examination, we found that these people should have been normal people when they were alive. Then, they were forced to become Poison Corpses. After they were killed, they were placed here, not zombies."
Behind that man, there must be a researcher or a team conducting live experiments.
Shao Qing said expressionlessly, "In the post-apocalyptic world, hundreds of people disappearing would not attract any attention. Therefore, we do not know how many people they killed or captured to conduct live experiments."
Meng Shen could not help but say, "Such a cruel thing, is it really something that humans can do?"
"You are looking down on people." Shao Qing said coldly, "Some people are even more terrifying than zombies. Alright, the first thing we need to do now is to salvage all the corpses and clean up the source. We need to restore the water source so that it will not pollute our land. As for other things, we will go back and have a meeting to discuss."
No wonder that group of people did not move the corpses. There were too many of them, and if they really wanted to move them, Shao Qing and the others might come before they could finish.
They might as well give up on hiding the source of the poison.
There were too many corpses, and some of them were highly decomposed. Once they were salvaged, the arms and legs would fall off. That would not work.
Even if there were only some broken limbs in the river, they would still act as a source of pollution and continue to pollute the river.
In that case, there was no point in cleaning up the poison.
Shao Qing carefully directed the people to salvage the corpses. Even though they had a lot of people, it took almost an entire day to salvage all the corpses.
The remaining problem was even bigger because there were still some broken pieces of the corpses. These pieces were small in size, but they contained a lot of poison. If they could not salvage all of them, Yan Jiang's river would be filled with poison for a long time in the future.
Shao Qing, Er Dai, Xiao Liu and Xiao Yu cleaned up and went into the water directly. The four of them were the least afraid of corpse poison, because they were zombies.
Who had seen zombies that were afraid of corpse poison?
Xiao Yu was responsible for using her spirit power to search for the remaining pieces of the corpses. After finding them, the other three people used nets to fish out the pieces of the corpses.
This should be the most thankless job, as it was troublesome and tiring. Unfortunately, except for the four of them, it was inconvenient for the others to go into the water. Although the corpses had been moved out, the poison in Yan Jiang's river had increased instead of decreasing.
After all, during the process of salvaging the corpses, a lot of the poison had flowed out, and it would be very serious for a short period of time. Even the superpowered people who were not infected by corpse poison did not dare to go into the water. They just waited by the shore. As long as Shao Qing and the others salvaged the pieces of the corpses, the others would put the pieces together with the corpses.
In the end, they would burn the pieces, and everything would be fine.
Everyone's heart was heavy as they watched Shao Qing and the others salvage most of the pieces of the corpses. Even if the corpses were burned, the poison would not be completely removed in a short period of time.
Especially the poison in the soil, it was not easy to clean it up. It had to be done step by step. The most important thing was that the people who were still guarding against Shao Qing found out that they might soon ask for help from Shao Qing.
