Wang Bao was momentarily stunned. He recognized this place.
Several months ago, he had driven Zhao Hong here to this Walmart. Zhao Hong's brother-in-law, Tang Hu, had disappeared right here.
At that time, Zhao Hong had Ling Tao investigate. Ling Tao ultimately concluded that there might be a high-level zombie here.
Later, Zhao Hong ordered them to douse the place in gasoline and set it aflame. The chilling atmosphere of that day contrasted sharply with the outside temperature, which had soared to thirty degrees. The memory was still vivid in his mind.
At this moment, the hulking zombie beside him was unusually docile, completely still. Wang Bao couldn't help but take a closer look. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the zombie's face bore a striking resemblance to someone he knew—Tang Hu!
Though the zombie's body had swollen significantly, its arms and legs massively thickened, it was still discernibly Tang Hu! freewebnoveℓ.com
Suddenly, he noticed a young man busily working ahead of him.
"Arrived? That was quick," the young man said casually, his back to Wang Bao as he tinkered with something. Hu growled a few times, seemingly a bit proud.
Chu Xuan laughed heartily, "Well done indeed, bringing a live one so quickly. I'll make you a companion shortly."
Hu roared excitedly in response.
Chu Xuan casually took a seat on a chair and waved his hand. Hu then forced Wang Bao to kneel in front of the young man.
"Oh, you've been bitten? Good, killing you won't reduce my merit," Chu Xuan noted Wang Bao's fingers with a nonchalant smile.
Seeing his smile, Wang Bao instinctively felt fear. He somehow felt as though he was facing a ferocious beast, not a person.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Wang Bao asked, "Who are you? Why can you control Brother Hu?"
Chu Xuan chuckled strangely, "You know Hu? Looks like you must be from that Spirit Hounds, huh?" Wang Bao nodded.
Chu Xuan's pupils flashed with a purple light, "Good, you answer my questions now."
At that moment, Wang Bao felt as if his soul had been seized, turning him into a puppet who could only comply. This spell, known as the "Soul Capturing Gaze," was a low-tier Qi Refining stage technique, usable only against those whose realms were far below one's own, possessing no offensive power.
Chu Xuan deployed the Soul Capturing Gaze simply to avoid wasting words and to quickly gather the information he needed.
"Name," he commanded.
"Wang Bao."
"What position do you hold in the Spirit Hounds?"
"Boss Zhao's confidant."
"Who ordered the burning of this place?"

"Boss Zhao directed us to burn it."
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. It was indeed Zhao Hong from the Spirit Hounds. He continued his interrogation, and Wang Bao responded obligatorily. After a while, the effect of the Soul Capturing Gaze ended, and Wang Bao gradually recovered from his dazed state. His head throbbed painfully, unaware of what had just transpired. Worse yet, the virus had already infected his entire body, and bloodthirsty thoughts began to emerge.
"Aaargh!" Wang Bao let out a harsh scream.
