Gu Qinglang opened his eyes and smiled weakly: "Thank you...everyone."

Jiang Yanwan stroked his back gently: "It's okay, you can rest now."

Zhao Zheng clenched his fists, his heart full of determination for the future, but he knew that this was only a temporary victory. After everyone took a short break, Wu Junyao suddenly said: "We can't waste time. I found that the enemy's stronghold is just ahead."

Jiang Yanwan frowned: "We just escaped from danger, and Mr. Gu's body still needs time to recover."

Lan Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't Wu Junyao and I go check out the situation first, and you stay here and wait."

Zhao Zheng looked at Gu Qinglang and knew that they had to act carefully: "Okay, we will act separately. But we must keep in touch and report any situation immediately."

Lan Tianyu nodded, and he and Wu Junyao quickly disappeared into the woods. Jiang Yanwan supported Gu Qinglang and comforted him softly: "Mr. Gu, hold on for a while."

Gu Qinglang smiled weakly: "Be careful, I can hold on."

Not long after, Wu Junyao and Lan Tianyu came back with serious expressions. Wu Junyao whispered, "Some controlled living dead were found in the enemy's base, and there seemed to be even more terrifying secrets there."

"The living dead?" Yun Ji was surprised. "How are they controlled?"

Lan Tianyu explained: "It seems to be a special toxin that can make people lose their self-awareness and become controlled puppets."

Zhao Zheng said calmly: "We must rescue those innocent people as soon as possible."

Jiang Yanwan nodded: "At the same time, be careful not to fall into the enemy's trap."

Afterwards, they led Gu Qinglang forward cautiously and finally arrived at the enemy's stronghold. As expected, there were a large number of living dead imprisoned there, with dull eyes, as if they had lost their souls.

Zhao Zheng held his breath and concentrated: "We must find the source of controlling these people."

Wu Junyao and Lan Tianyu immediately began to search around and soon found a secret basement filled with all kinds of strange medicine bottles and utensils, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.

"This is where they create the living dead." Lan Tianyu said coldly.

Jiang Yanwan frowned: "These things look extremely complicated. Can we rescue these people?"

Lan Tianyu examined it carefully and said, "Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. I can develop an antidote, but it will take some time."

Zhao Zheng nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Lan Tianyu began to get busy, while Zhao Zheng and Wu Junyao were in charge of the alert. At this moment, a man in black suddenly appeared, sneering and saying, "Do you think you can rescue these people so easily?"

Zhao Zheng drew his sword and pointed it at the other person: "Who are you?"

The man in black said coldly: "I am a subordinate of the poison master. Your efforts are in vain."

Jiang Yanwan glared at the other party: "Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The man in black snorted coldly: "Retribution? As long as we succeed, who can do anything to us?"

Wu Junyao rushed forward quickly, wielding his long sword, and engaged the man in black fiercely. The two men's moves were fierce, and their swords swept across, stirring up clouds of dust.

At the same time, Lan Tianyu finally developed the antidote and injected it into the living dead. Soon after, they began to gradually regain consciousness and their eyes glowed again.

"It's done!" Lan Tianyu said happily, but his voice attracted more enemies.

Zhao Zheng quickly arranged a defense line: "Everyone be careful, protect these people!"

The battle broke out again, and the enemies attacked wave after wave, and the scene was in chaos. At this moment, a zombie suddenly screamed and rushed towards the crowd, causing chaos.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yanwan exclaimed.

Lan Tianyu's face was solemn: "It seems that not everyone can regain their sanity quickly."

Zhao Zheng decisively ordered: "Protect the innocent and control those out-of-control living dead!"

In the chaos, Wu Junyao found a zombie holding a map. He quickly snatched it and found the enemy's new stronghold marked on it.

"We've been trapped." Wu Junyao whispered.

Zhao Zheng calmly analyzed: "We can't delay any longer. We must act immediately to destroy the enemy's stronghold."

Everyone quickly rushed to the location shown on the map and came to an inconspicuous well. Zhao Zheng keenly noticed something strange in the well, so he asked Lan Tianyu to investigate.

"The water in this well is poisonous." Lan Tianyu's face was solemn. "Someone poisoned it here in an attempt to poison more people."

Jiang Yanwan was shocked: "There is actually such a conspiracy!"

Zhao Zheng's eyes were cold: "It seems that there may be a traitor among us."

Yun Ji nodded: "Indeed, only someone who knows the situation can do this."

Gu Qinglang regained some strength and whispered, "We must find the traitor, otherwise we won't be able to completely eradicate the crisis."

"First completely remove the poison from the well, and then conduct an investigation." Zhao Zheng gave the order decisively.

Lan Tianyu and Wu Junyao quickly cleaned up the well, while Zhao Zhengze led the other team members, keeping a constant eye on the surroundings.

Jiang Yanwan asked Zhao Zheng softly: "How can we find the traitor?"

Zhao Zheng pondered: "We must start with the details and track everyone's behavior and motivations."

During the discussion, a familiar figure quietly approached Zhao Zheng and whispered, "Captain, I found some clues..."

Zhao Zheng immediately looked up: "What clue? Tell me!"

The man looked at him mysteriously: "Perhaps, the truth you can't imagine is..."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly flew through the air and headed straight for the man.

The speed was too fast. Before anyone could react, the man was shot and didn't even have time to utter a groan in pain.

Zhao Zheng quickly drew his sword to block the arrow that followed, but the person who had just revealed the information had been shot and fell to the ground, and the situation became even more critical. Gu Qinglang coughed as he approached the well. He carefully checked the residue in the water and his face changed.

"This is the poisonous herb 'Arisaema' that is unique to the south. Only people who are well versed in southern pharmacology can make this kind of poison." Gu Qinglang said, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.

"It seems that there really is a traitor among us." Zhao Zheng gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes sharp.

Jiang Yanwan looked around anxiously: "What should we do? Anyone could be a traitor."

Lan Tianyu and Wu Junyao could not help but frown, and it was almost difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. At this moment, Yun Ji walked to Gu Qinglang and asked softly, "Do you know how to cure this poison?"

Gu Qinglang nodded: "I need some specific herbs, but they are hard to find."

Zhao Zheng made a decisive decision: "We will split into two groups. One group will go to look for medicinal herbs, and the other group will stay here to protect everyone and continue to look for the traitor."
