Chapter 1127: This Is the Real Mountain God

"Thank you, Mountain God, you have truly solved a major problem for us here." The several hunters looked moved.

Only those living deep in the mountains know how scarce water is in this place; nearby villages would fight tooth and nail every year over water sources. Now that the Mountain God has channeled a mountain spring down, the village will have no more worries in the future.

"Immortal, the path you need to take should be this way. I have already cleared the route; please." The Mountain God said, making a gesture of invitation.

"Many thanks." Chen Yu nodded and said to the group, "We should set off too. The sooner we resolve this, the sooner we can be at ease."

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Zhang Ji and Wang Yi nodded, packed their things, and continued walking forward.

With the Mountain God leading the way, their progress was much faster, and finally, they arrived at the designated location.

This place was a secluded spot where a Fusang Army base was located. A few months ago, a flash flood exposed this base that had been hidden deep underground.

This place could be considered the source of the virus; after all, in that notorious experiment, heaven knows how many anti-human things the Fusang people had researched.

Following the exposed opening, they walked out, and a heavy iron door appeared before their eyes.

A man wearing a Fusang Army officer's uniform lay dead on the ground; from his clothing, one could still identify that his rank was not low.

And in his hand, there should have been a box; that box was the virus prototype that had been taken back by the villagers.

This Fusang Army officer was half-prostrate on the ground; although he had been dead for many years, a trace of terror could still be seen on his twisted face.

Moreover, judging by the posture in which he died on the ground, it appeared he had been fleeing in a hurry.

"The original virus strain spread from this place," Chen Yu said. "If I am not mistaken, he should still be holding a box in his hand; this box is the virus body that was taken out by the villagers."

"But before the virus was taken out, someone had already been infected," Zhang Ji said. "How did this happen?"

"The original form of this virus leaked. Because of the flash flood, this base was exposed. Some birds or beasts might have accidentally carried some out, but there is no need to worry about that; the virus cannot survive in the air for more than 72 hours."

Chen Yu said, "Those who were infected earlier were truly unlucky, but fortunately, there was no large-scale outbreak."

"Mr. Chen, this door is made of steel. It looks like an air-raid shelter door from wartime. It's very thick and cannot be broken." Wang Yi walked to the main entrance and took a few looks; the heavy door was locked tight, and it was seamless, without even a crack.

"Press the switch. At that time, Fusang's military industry was already quite advanced; it should be electrically driven," Chen Yu said.

The group searched around, and finally, they found a switch. They tried pressing the button, and the door rumbled open.

A sliver of light came from within; above was a huge searchlight. After several decades, the equipment in this place was still barely operational.

Chen Yu walked in and saw that it was a laboratory, and inside the laboratory lay hundreds of highly decomposed corpses.

Everyone put on protective masks, but even so, a pungent smell of decay could still be faintly detected in their noses.

"It looks like some kind of virus leaked, which caused all the Fusang officers in this base to die." Chen Yu walked up to a corpse, examined it briefly, and understood the situation.

"Self-inflicted, no way to live," Zhang Ji said indignantly.

His great-grandfather had participated in the war, and four generations of his family were all soldiers, so he had a nature of hating evil as if it were a personal enemy deep in his bones.

As for the Fusang people, he truly could not find a way to forgive them.

"That Fusang officer fleeing might have been because of this," Chen Yu said. "A virus capable of destroying half of humanity at the time was researched and accidentally leaked, causing all the Fusang people in the base to die."

"If it weren't for the accidental leak causing their deaths, the consequences would have been very serious." Wang Yi's expression changed slightly.

"Even if it hadn't leaked, other accidents would have occurred, because by doing this, the Heavenly Dao does not allow it." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "What defeated them was the Heavenly Dao."

"Mr. Chen, let's go find the virus repository. It's better to destroy those things as soon as possible," Zhang Ji said.

"Alright, let's go." Chen Yu nodded.

This laboratory was very large, extending over a thousand meters deep. When they reached the deepest part, an iron door blocked their path.

At this moment, a sound faintly came from behind the iron door; it seemed there were people inside.

"It's been so many years, could there still be people inside?" The old hunter's expression changed slightly; if this were true, it would be too incredible.

"It's also possible that what's left inside is not human." Chen Yu's expression changed slightly as he looked at this iron door.

Suddenly, with a bang, a huge sound came from the iron door.

Zhang Ji and Wang Yi were startled; they quickly drew their guns and stood on guard. The several hunters also took out their hunting rifles and feathered arrows, staring at the iron door with full vigilance.

Following that, another boom sounded, and the iron door bulged with a very deep mark. The thing inside had immense strength and was violently slamming against the iron door.

It seemed they had smelled the scent of living people outside, so they were impatient to break through the iron door and rush out.

"What is that?" The group's expressions changed drastically.

This iron door was at least three centimeters thick, and it had been decades; what exactly was inside that was so impatient to rush out?

Before the group could react, with a boom, the iron door could no longer withstand it and collapsed. From inside, a canine animal over a meter tall with its whole body rotting walked out.

After decades, the flesh on this thing had completely rotted away; its eyes were two deep-set white bones. This thing, which had no muscles or organs on its body, was actually standing right before everyone's eyes.

And behind it were dozens of Fusang officers whose bodies had long since rotted into white bones, yet they were still able to stand.

"Fire!" Zhang Ji didn't hesitate to pick up his pistol and pull the trigger at the monster in front of him. The remaining few also acted without hesitation.

But this thing, which had no skin or flesh on its body, did not seem to fear the weapons in everyone's hands. It let out a wild hiss and rushed toward the group fiercely.

The bullets hit its body as if hitting a crumbling earthen wall, but its movements were not affected in the slightest.

At the critical moment, Chen Yu slashed down with his sword, and the monster's head was forcibly split in two by Chen Yu.

It stood blankly on the spot, and then its body split to the sides.

Inside its head, there was actually still a trace of fresh flesh and blood maintained; although this bit of substance was pitifully small, it was enough to ensure it possessed the ability to attack.
