When Mo Shi and the others followed the short-haired woman out of the dam and onto the road.
Under the broken bridge.
In the pile of rocks.
A heart that was as shriveled as bacon was lying there quietly.
A moment later. In the sky.
A mutated owl with a wingspan of four meters was silently flying over the broken bridge.
It was looking for food.
It saw the mutated giant crocodile carcasses.
But obviously, it had no appetite for the mutated beast carcasses.
It continued to fly forward.
At a certain moment.
Suddenly, its eyes lit up.
Then, it circled down.
Finally, it landed in the pile of rocks under the broken bridge.
In the pile of rocks, there were a few pieces of broken body parts scattered.
But its gaze did not pay attention to these pieces of flesh.
Instead, it stared at the shriveled heart that was as shriveled as bacon.
Then, it opened its mouth and pecked at the heart.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
On the heart, more than ten tentacles that looked like blood vessels instantly extended.
These tentacles attached to the mutated owl's body.
It was as if more than ten iron wires were tightly wrapped around the owl.
In the owl's eyes, there was a look of horror.
It hurriedly flapped its wings, trying to escape.
But, it was too late.
After those tentacles wrapped around the owl, they continued to tighten.
They actually strangled into the owl's body.
A moment later, the entire shriveled heart was attached to the owl's body.
Finally, it merged into the mutated owl's body.
Then, the mutated owl's body began to change continuously.
The feathers on its body fell one after another.
The flesh on its wings also slowly fell.
The wing bones quickly extended.
At the top of the wing bones, a pair of claws with sharp hooks grew.
In the end, its wings actually turned into a pair of bat-like wings.
Its eyes had also turned blood-red.
Then, it opened its mouth and let out a hoarse hiss.
"Hiss —"
With a flap of its wings, it quickly soared into the sky and flew towards the northwest.
A moment later, it disappeared into the horizon.
…
At the same time, in the base.
In the base chief's office.
The base chief looked at Yang Kang in front of him with a smile and asked,
"Why are you the one reporting?
Where's Commander Ma? "
Yang Kang replied,
"Commander Ma, she … has been exposed."
The base chief's smile faded slightly and asked,
"What do you mean?"
Yang Kang said.
"She isn't the mysterious expert from back then."
The Base Chief shook his head.
"She's so strong. If she's not the mysterious expert, who is?"
Yang Kang said,
"Chief, it's like this …"
He immediately recounted what had happened in the residential area by the dam.
The Base Chief pondered for a moment.
He shook his head and sighed.
"I didn't expect her to lie to us for five years."
"However … in the past five years, as the regiment commander, she has been cautious and conscientious and has done many things.
So we still have to forgive him.
It was just that the people had just found out about this and their emotions were not stable.
So, don't go out for the time being and help persuade the people. "
Yang Kang nodded.
"That's what I meant too."
The Base Chief then turned his attention to the strength of the mysterious expert.
His eyes were filled with shock.
He imagined everything that had happened in the residential area by the dam.
The Base Chief's face was also filled with undisguised shock.
"The mysterious expert's strength is much stronger than it was five years ago."
Yang Kang nodded. "Yes."
As he spoke, Yang Kang's face also showed a yearning look.
That kind of strength had already exceeded their understanding.
He really couldn't understand how a human body could erupt with such powerful strength.
He was now a level-7 zombie hunter, the strongest in the base.
But his strength was far inferior to the mysterious expert from five years ago.
Not to mention the mysterious expert today.
That was an existence that he would never be able to reach!
After a while, the Base Chief sighed.
He said,
"I don't know how the mysterious expert got such powerful strength."
"If he can share his method, maybe all the zombie hunters can be as powerful as him."
Yang Kang shook his head and said,
"Chief, I don't think so."
"Everyone has their own secrets.
If we have to reveal this secret and anger the mysterious expert, I'm afraid … "
Yang Kang's family was saved by the mysterious expert.
At this time, he naturally had to protect the mysterious expert.
The Base Chief waved his hand and said with a smile,
"I'm just sighing.
It's the luck of everyone in our base to have him protect us.
Go back and rest. We'll celebrate tomorrow. "
"Yes, Chief."
…
The next morning, seven o 'clock.
The east had just started to light up.
Mo Shi and the others finally returned to the base.
When Mo Shi and Happy returned to the zombie farm, Old Li was wiping his tears.
It turned out that the zombie hunters had returned last night, but Mo Shi and Happy were not there.
Old Li thought that they had all died outside the base.
At that time, he shed a lot of tears.
After feeding the pigs this morning, when he thought of this, he couldn't help but cry again.
At this time, when he saw Mo Shi and Happy return, he was so happy that tears flowed again.
Mo Shi and Happy looked at each other and felt warm in their hearts.
Mo Shi stroked Old Li's slightly hunched back and comforted him.
At noon, the zombie hunters held a celebration party.
At the celebration party, the short-haired girl received a commendation.
Alone, she escorted the five researchers and two corpse rearers back to the base after a night's rest.
This was obviously an amazing thing.
The short-haired girl was naturally proud.
In the five brigades, everyone despised her for being young and impulsive.
She had always been criticized.
Today, she could finally hold her head high.
Mo Shi only smiled at this and didn't say anything.
In the next few days, the people found out that Captain Ma wasn't the mysterious powerhouse.
They suddenly felt that their feelings had been greatly deceived.
They had been deceived by that woman for five years!
This made them very angry.
"Damn it, we were deceived by that woman for five years!"
"How shameless. She actually took the mysterious powerhouse's credit for five years."
"I was also blind. I've always admired him before."
"Let's find him and clear the mysterious powerhouse's name!"
"She's insulting the mysterious powerhouse!"
Mo Shi was speechless when he heard these discussions.
These people sounded as if he had been defiled by Miss Ponytail.
However, he didn't care about this.
Every day, he just quietly signed in.
At the same time, he would occasionally take out the map and look at the "Dragon Ruins" on the map.
A few days later, the people in the base realized that Miss Ponytail hadn't returned since that day.
Everyone's anger slowly subsided.
In their opinion, Miss Ponytail's exile was a wise choice.
The chief of the base secretly sent people to search for her many times, but to no avail.
He could only secretly feel sad.
Only he knew why his niece left.
She did it to protect him, the chief of the base, and for the entire base.
He knew, but he couldn't say it.
Sometimes, he regretted letting his niece pretend to be the mysterious powerhouse.
However, he had to do it.
Even now, he still insisted on this belief. He had to force the mysterious powerhouse out.
