The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1017 He's Different

"Brother Zhang, it's a good thing you came back, otherwise I would be done for here today..."

Duan Wuhu sat on a rock, and Fu Weijun and Liu Lingping were treating his injuries. The initial examination showed that he had broken a rib, but the problem was not very serious. The battle was over, so he did not take the thalamus, which had a limited number of uses.

Zhang Su's expression was solemn and his voice was deep: "When we got to the beach, we found that the zombies were gone, and we felt that something was wrong. Then Dr. Fu said that you were attacked. Zombies that can run around right under our noses without being detected must be something special!"

"Sigh, I was so stupid to blame Dr. Fu for asking for help at first!"

Wu Baokang's messy hair peeked out from under his hat. The previous battle had made him feel the breath of death. He was in a better situation than Duan Wuhu, but he couldn't have lasted much longer.

The zombies' attack was like a raging river, relentless and endless. His stamina was being greatly depleted. If the two zombies on the other side were to finish off their comrades, he would be dead on the spot!
"Hey," Zhao Dezhu grinned, pressed Wu Baokang's head and shook it, teasingly saying, "Old Wu, if you can fight as well as you swear, then there wouldn't have been any danger just now. You still need to practice, you know?"

"Practice, practice..."

Faced with Zhao Dezhu's joke, Wu Baokang showed a helpless smile. The gap was indeed huge. He struggled to hold on against the zombies he could not defeat, but when the three members of the Yama Legion arrived, they were all killed in one move each!
"These three zombies are different from the zombies on the mainland. We suffered a great loss by dealing with them using our past experience. Fortunately, no one was killed!"

Zhang Su patted the ice coffin with a stern expression.

"Brother, looking at it this way, Xiao Chen wasn't wrong before. It should be these ghosts lurking in the shadows. They must have thought we outnumbered them and didn't dare to come out until we split into two groups. They're really cunning!"

Zhao Dezhu nudged the dead zombie with his foot.

“Yes!” Zhang Su suddenly asked, “When you were fighting these zombies, did you have any special feelings?”

The question, seemingly posed to the crowd, was actually being directed at Chen Hanzhou through the eyes behind the sunglasses.

In Zhang Su's view, these three zombies should belong to the mutated zombie category, so Chen Hanzhou should be able to detect where their energy core is!
"Just plain powerful and fierce, nothing more."

"A special feeling? Does glowing green eyes count?"

"No, Su-ge, do you have any?"

Everyone shook their heads in confusion, including Chen Hanzhou. Knowing that Zhang Su was asking him, he glanced at the zombie on the ground and slowly shook his head.

Chen Hanzhou really didn't hide the truth. He himself was also wondering why such a special zombie wasn't a mutated zombie.
Can't figure it out.

But that's the reality. If you can't sense the location of the energy source at all, then there isn't one. In other words, the ones lying on the ground and sealed in the ice coffins are all ordinary zombies!
"They have a strong killing instinct, which is obviously different from the zombies on land. I thought they had some special abilities. Let's leave it at that for now and study them when we get back!"

Zhang Su tapped his fingers on the ice coffin and then said, "I still have to go to the seaside. You can all stay here."

Going to the beach to deal with the zombies was secondary; his main purpose was to study the glowing sphere, but he was called back before he could.

The group was emaciated. Zhao Dezhu and the others really wanted to go to the beach, but safety was more important. Besides, they couldn't just say that the island was too dangerous and that they would protect the leader. The leader didn't need their protection!

However, someone still raised their hand. Chen Hanzhou said, "Brother Su, when I was at the beach, my body's energy had a special reaction. I want to go and see!"

Zhao Dezhu and Qi Xiaoshuai looked at Chen Hanzhou with strange eyes, as if asking, "Is it true or not?"
"Hey, Chen, you can't do that! We all have cold energy in our bodies. I didn't react, but what about you? Did you react?"

Zhao Dezhu looked up to Xiao Shuai.

Qi Xiaoshuai forced a smile, thinking to himself: "Brother, shouldn't you have said you also had a special reaction? How am I supposed to respond if you just tell the truth..."

"I actually seem to have a special reaction too."

In an attempt to create an opportunity for himself, Qi Xiaoshuai gave Zhao Dezhu an apologetic look.

Zhao Dezhu immediately realized that his mouth was too fast for his brain to keep up, and quickly corrected himself: "Right, right, I remember now, brother, I also have a special reaction, energy is running wild in my body!" Zhang Su stared blankly at Zhao Dezhu and Qi Xiaoshuai's performance, and said speechlessly: "These are troublesome times, stop with the nonsense, we'll be right back, you guys clean up this place!"

With their stance firm, Zhao Dezhu and Qi Xiaoshuai said no more and could only watch Zhang Su and Chen Hanzhou leave the crowd.

Once the two figures had shrunk to tiny dots, Zhao Dezhu scoffed and complained, "We're all the same. Why do you trust Xiao Chen, bro? Honestly."

"Forget it……"

"Chen Hanzhou is different from you!"

Fu Weijun suddenly spoke, interrupting Qi Xiaoshuai.

Everyone turned to look at Fu Weijun, who was bandaging Duan Wuhu's wounds. They waited quietly for what would happen next, but after about ten seconds, nothing happened...

"No, Dr. Fu, don't leave things unsaid. What's different?"

Zhao Dezhu pressed for answers, and Zhang Su and Fu Weijun's reactions made him realize that Chen Hanzhou was indeed different, but what exactly made him different?

Seeing that Fu Weijun had no intention of speaking, Duan Wuhu knew that his old habit of not liking to talk to others had resurfaced, so he took a breath and explained on his behalf.

“Dazhuzi, think about it. We’ve all practiced the Ju Clan’s martial arts and we train hard. I’m not the exception; I haven’t been working hard… You’re all very diligent, but only Xiao Chen’s strength has improved by leaps and bounds. There must be a reason for that!”

"That's right, Teacher Duan is right!"

Zhao Dezhu and Qi Xiaoshuai both nodded, accepting the explanation and agreeing that people should be allowed to have their own secrets.

……

Two figures rose and fell among the rocks. After they had moved some distance away from the group, Chen Hanzhou spoke first: "Brother Su, I didn't sense any energy source from those three zombies, really."

"You don't need to keep emphasizing that I haven't suspected anything..."

Zhang Su was a little helpless. Chen Hanzhou must have thought that he suspected that Zhang Su was deliberately hiding something. In fact, he was definitely suspicious, but he had ruled out the suspicion based on his emotional perception.

"But... this doesn't make sense. Those three zombies are very special. They have a fighting spirit, and I think they even showed fear towards you. How could such advanced emotions and thoughts appear in zombies? Even mutated zombies couldn't do that, right? Brain mutation?"

Chen Hanzhou's brows never relaxed; he kept thinking about the situation with those zombies.

The two returned to the shore, where the rocks were still the same rocks, and the halo was still the same halo.

Zhang Su took a deep breath of the cold air, feeling refreshed, and said calmly, "What brain mutation? Xiao Chen, think about it, if they aren't mutated zombies, could they be zombies that have been enhanced again?"

"Oh?"

Chen Hanzhou paused, then pondered, "Brother Su, do you mean those three zombies were enhanced a round more than the zombies on land? But how did they manage that?"

“I suspect there might be something wrong with this island, or…” Zhang Su said, pointing to the luminous sphere in the distance over the sea, “or maybe there’s something wrong with it!”

"Is there something wrong with it?"

Chen Hanzhou gazed into the distance. The ball of light, no bigger than a lychee, radiated light, painting the world with a misty glow.
