Saint Jiu Feng of the Johnck Zoo has developed a strong interest in two newly discovered species.
Yesterday, a battle broke out between the Black Shield Police Department and a group of unknown forces, ending with the disappearance of Police Chief Hogg of the Black Shield Police Department.
The remaining enemies were completely annihilated by the Black Shield Police Department, including a giant spiritual lizard.
However, autopsies conducted by lab technicians revealed something shocking: these suddenly appearing humanoid creatures not only differed significantly from humans in appearance, but their post-mortem state was also astonishing.
Based on the technicians' experience, the condition of those humanoid corpses was that of bodies that had been dead for a long time, not recently deceased.
Yet, both battlefield records and evidence brought back by Zoe proved these humanoids were freshly killed by the Black Shield Police Department.
Furthermore, several unknown plant and biological remains were detected within that lizard.
These strange circumstances have piqued the intense interest of Saint Jiu Feng.
He has a premonition that there must be a shocking secret behind these creatures.

According to meteorological monitoring.
Due to the influence of various extreme weather events in recent times, the global climate has become disordered, with extreme weather patterns becoming increasingly severe.
Currently, ocean surface temperatures are in a state of imbalance, and abnormal undulating changes have appeared in the sky's cloud layers.
The Breaker Sea, Chaobo Sea, Terra Sea, and Naxi Sea all show signs of impending storms, with the storm formation speed showing a tendency to accelerate.
Within the next week, there is a high probability of an unprecedented extreme weather event, potentially affecting the entire world.
All citizens are advised to prepare for extreme climatic conditions.

Yu Yuan placed today's newspaper back on the newspaper display rack.
He was already aware that several factions in Green Forest City were investigating yesterday's battle.
With Zhou Yuan there to handle things, it was enough to sow confusion for a couple of days.
Yu Yuan's demand was simple: as long as the news of Hogg's death could be delayed for these two days, preventing anyone from causing trouble while he moved against the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, he would be satisfied.
As for Saint Jiu Feng's speculation, Yu Yuan wasn't surprised. Previous intelligence showed that Saint Jiu Feng possessed an extremely strong thirst for knowledge, displaying intense curiosity about everything from how former Saint Moga created the Stealth Rat to new power systems and new spiritual creatures.
The Ascetics' corpse and Bloodbone, which had just been obtained the day before yesterday, had already stirred his investigative desire. Now, with the appearance of Blood Slaves and a lizard from another world, it would be strange if he didn't start speculating wildly.
However, Yu Yuan hadn't expected the research level of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association to be so high.
In just one night, they had identified several unknown plant and animal remains. They truly lived up to being the elites who developed the Genetic Modification Serum.
But this also strengthened Yu Yuan's resolve to subdue the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
【Warning: An abnormal situation has occurred in the 『Treadmill Generator Room』. Please investigate immediately!】
【Warning.....】
While Yu Yuan was still pondering, the Virtual Light Screen suddenly popped up three consecutive red warning messages.
"The Generator Room?"
The most dangerous elements inside the 【Treadmill Generator Room】 were naturally the six 【Swiftstriders】 constantly running to generate electricity.
For warning messages to suddenly appear now, could it be that the 【Swiftstriders】 had escaped the High-Pressure Cages?
"Oh no, Masier!" Yu Yuan immediately thought.
If the Swiftstriders escaped the generator room, the first person threatened would be Masier, whose workshop was on the underground first floor.
Yu Yuan immediately ran upstairs. His movement instantly startled Zhi Zhi, who was resting on Mie Mie's head.
Without a word, it followed after Yu Yuan.
Taking the steps two at a time, Yu Yuan rushed to the first floor and looked towards Masier's workshop, only to see her currently calibrating an instrument.
Hearing the sound from the staircase, she looked over.
"Huh? Investor? Do you need something?"
Seeing the clueless look in Masier's eyes, Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He then turned his gaze towards the 【Treadmill Generator Room】, the 【No. 15 Steam Kinetic Heavy Hammer from the Ruined City】 already appearing in his hand.
Seeing Yu Yuan's expression, Masier immediately realized something was wrong. She stopped talking and ran towards the staircase.
She understood clearly that staying here would only be a burden.
The Stealth Rat, Zhi Zhi, also enlarged its body to about a meter in size.
Although it didn't understand exactly what was happening, it was ready to fight at any moment.
At that moment, Mie Mie finally climbed up to the first floor, issuing a request to join the battle.
Mie Mie~~
"Mie Mie, gear up!" Yu Yuan immediately said.
With all preparations complete, Yu Yuan arrived at the 【Treadmill Generator Room】. After exchanging a glance with Zhi Zhi, he slowly opened the generator room door.
However, the expected out-of-control Swiftstriders did not appear at the entrance. The generator room was eerily quiet; even the previously constant sound of running had vanished.
Yu Yuan's gaze fell on the treadmills. The Swiftstriders were still inside the High-Pressure Cages, having not escaped. But they were not standing and running; instead, they lay on the ground like corpses. The smell of high-voltage current burning flesh lingered in the air. Their bodies twitched faintly.
As Yu Yuan was pondering what had happened, one of the Swiftstriders suddenly stopped twitching, followed by a second, then a third...
Soon, all six Swiftstriders on the treadmills ceased moving.
Yu Yuan stepped forward to check and only then discovered they had all died.
But how was this possible?
Swiftstriders were spiritual creatures. When a spiritual creature dies, it instantly releases dissipating spirituality. Yu Yuan saw clearly that from just now until now, the Positioning Watch hadn't received the slightest trace of dissipating spirituality.
"What's going on?"
This matter had to be clarified.
He immediately took these six Swiftstrider corpses to the 【Spiritual Creature Laboratory】.
Hearing that the Swiftstriders had suddenly died, the Doctor was also stunned.
He immediately began examining the Swiftstriders, with the blood test being the fastest.
However, when both men saw that what was drawn from the Swiftstriders' bodies was not the black-blue 【Acidic Blood】, but a dark red, viscous blood, they were both taken aback.
"This...."
