Gu Nan's plan wasnt going too well.

It was truly too hard to duplicate the scene of 100,000 moon thralls gathered in the same place. Who knew when that giant tree appeared and how long it took to gather all those moon thralls.

To make matters worse, those fruits had been slowly losing power ever since Gu Nan plucked them from the tree. Even though he used the power of shadows to seal the energy inside the fruits, Gu Nan didnt have the time to wait any longer.

Their power would dissipate especially quickly after they were taken out, so he must choose crowded places where humans gathered and take advantage of all the humans being transformed into moon thralls in order to gather as much power as possible.

After nearly two hours of the same process, five moon thrall kings of different sizes were standing in front of Gu Nan.

They were all made using the human survivors gathered in the major survivor camps. It could be said that each moon thrall king was stained with the blood of thousands of people.

The Glory Camp and Hero Camp made Second Brother and Third Brother, the two biggest of the five.

The other three camps were much weaker, and the final Sixth Brother was merely as tall as two people, which wasnt much stronger than ordinary moon thralls.

"The imperial capital doesnt have any camp that can be considered large anymore!" Gu Nan shook his head with some helplessness. "Do I have to make do with this? No wait, there's actually one more"

Lin Duo sneaked near the lab. It was pitch-black here, and it was the same black inside and outside.

Classmate Lin Duo gritted her teeth but ultimately didn't make a stupid move like turning on the flashlight. She felt for the side door and walked forward step by step, guided by the moonlight.

This used to be her school, but this formerly familiar road now looked so strange. She couldnt reach the end, even after a long walk.

"Little Ming, Little Yue Did I fall into an illusion?" She couldn't help calling for her spirits.

"No, you just cant walk, the sun spirit revealed himself and pointed out coldly.

Lin Duo's legs were shaking, so of course she couldnt walk.

Lin Duos face blushed a little. Just when she was about to refute, she suddenly heard a loud noise in her ear, which scared her into hurriedly looking up.

In front of the lab door in the distance, an ancient tree was slowly spreading its roots and growing. The noise just now came from the gate falling down.

"This Lin Duo hurriedly held her breath, hiding in the dark and observing from there.

"Master Ghost Tree, should we deal with Lin Ke?" Beholder was standing beside a red-robed elder, asking respectfully with his head bowed.

The elder pushed up the glasses on his face and shook his head. "The lab is more important. Gu Zhaoyue will be back very soon."

He looked up at the shadows in the distance, his heart cold.

Although Beholder doesnt know, how can I not know? This is the origin point of the moon thrall catastrophe in the capital!

Little Xue, Little Tian

Ihe next instant, this old man suppressed all his emotions and said icily, "Let's go."

Inside the lab, Tian Tian finally managed to free herself after many hardships.

When Big Brother handed her the fourth moon thrall corpse, Tian Tian finally stopped herself from fainting and found a way to free herself.

Glass shards were embedded in the moon thrall corpses, which came from the shattered incubation tubes.

So Tian Tian choked back her nausea, grabbed a glass shard with her mouth, and cut the rope in front of her bit by bit. By the time she finally freed her hands, the corners of her mouth were all bloody.

She wiped her mouth with her hand and felt a burning pain, but she wasnt depressed at all.

"Gu Nan!" That face floated up in Tian Tian's mind, and she couldn't help gnashing her teeth. "When I get out, Ill definitely tell the entire world about your evil deeds. I"

Boom!

The door of the lab was suddenly blown open, and Ghost Tree, the old man in red, came in with Beholder. When they saw Tian Tian's tragic situation, they seemed to understand something. They immediately asked nicely, "Little girl, were you captured?"

Tian Tian nodded blankly, feeling that her injuries were for nothing.

And sneakily following the two was Lin Duo. She felt that she was lurking quite well, and she even had time to poke her head out to see if her sister was inside.

"Hey, it's Tian Tian Mmph!"

When Lin Duo saw Tian Tian's figure, she didnt even have time to be pleasantly surprised before a hand suddenly covered her mouth and dragged her back.

She only had time to make a muffled sound, but when she saw the face of the person behind her, she immediately stopped struggling.

Lin Ke's face was terrifyingly dark, and she whispered in a cold voice, "Come with me at once. There are signs of moon thralls gathering here right now. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

With that, Lin Ke was about to drag Lin Duo away, but the latter quickly broke free, pointing to the laboratory and saying, "B-But Tian Tians still in the lab"

At the Star & Moon Camp, not far from the lab, Gu Zhaoyue was standing beside Gu Nan, looking at the glowing blue fruit in the latter's hand, speechless.

With his knowledge, he could discern Gu Nans goal from a glance, which was why he found this plan particularly unacceptable.

"My Lord, once the camp is destroyed, it will be difficult to build another one!" Gu Zhaoyue earnestly advised.

It was easiest to set up a survivor's camp in the early days of the apocalypse, but now, nearly a month after the apocalypse, it was almost impossible to do it again.

There were only so many humans in the capital, and if they still didnt join a camp yet, then they were either extremely powerful or already dead.

Gu Nan's face remained expressionless. "Its no longer necessary."

After the second side quest appeared, as Gu Nan's understanding of Big Brother deepened, his understanding of the whole dungeon also deepened.

The moon thrall king could eat other moon thralls to evolve, but there was an upper limit. Big Brother had been fed to a critical point and was only one step away from entering Tier 3.

What was this final step? Gu Nan, who possessed six other fruits, could easily think of it.

It seems that Big Brother is a fitting name, since hell be getting six more brothers.

The blue light intensified. Gu Nan, who had done similar things several times already, was naturally familiar with the process. And the movement from the other side of the lab was faithfully transmitted to him through a shadow clone.

It was close enough. Both sides were dancing in his hands.

"Then, I'll leave this side to you." Gu Nan revealed a meaningful smile, and his form gradually turned dark.

In the lab, Lin Ke finally summoned up the courage to speak when Ghost Tree turned back with a small smile. "What's the matter? Youre not letting that little friend come out and meet us?"

Lin Ke froze, while Lin Duo poked her head out from behind her sister and even greeted, "Hello, Mister!"

Lin Ke's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She really wanted to cover her younger sister's mouth, but when Tian Tian saw Lin Duo there, she exclaimed, "Lin Duo! It's Gu Nan, Gu Nan is behind everything!"

Lin Duo was startled by her and turned pale. She hadn't told anyone about Mr. Gu Nan.

"Gu Nan?" Lin Ke suddenly turned back and stared at her sister. She didn't forget Lin Duos boasts about her King-Level Heroic Spirit.

Does Tian Tian mean the central lab is Gu Nans doing? Then this matter

Her mind was full of thoughts at once, and Ghost Tree whispered from across the room, "So that person's name is Gu Nan Wait, whos here!"

As Ghost Trees voice fell, a branch appeared out of thin air to his right and whipped at the air.

A dark shadow was whipped out by him, which gradually condensed into Gu Nan's figure.

The latter looked at him with a little surprise. "Interesting, Youre the first person in this world who can force me out of hiding."

"Youre Gu Nan?" Ghost Tree lifted his glasses again, and his old face seemed to have some more wrinkles. "You're also the first person I can't extract any life force from It seems that you really don't know me."

A crimson ancient tree seemed to spring up behind Ghost Tree, constantly extracting the life force around it.

This old man was very strange. Gu Nan thought for a long time but had no recollection of such a person. He asked curiously, "We have a grudge?"

Ghost Tree remembered his two dead children and how heartbroken he was when he received news of Jiang Xue and Jiang Tians mutilated corpses. His eyes also grew colder.

"Can't remember? Then let me remind you. " Ghost Tree, dressed in a red robe, took off his black-rimmed glasses with golden stripes and said expressionlessly, "My surname is Jiang."
