The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1092 Strange Phenomenon
"Hmm... what does this mean? Giving the energy bar a skin? A silver-plated energy bar, and then what? What's the purpose?"

This was the question Zhang Su most wanted to know, because he hadn't sensed anything different.

Seeing Zhang Su's unusually serious expression, everyone realized that he must have made some discovery, so they all calmed down and carefully pondered it. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop on the yacht!

This state lasted for a full two minutes before Zhang Su finally came to his senses. He would only be so lost in thought when he was surrounded by trusted companions!
The research on the energy bar is the most troublesome. Whether it's consumption or recovery, it's a long process, and you really can't see any results in a short time. As for hearing and vision, there has been no change.

"Uncle, is there a problem?"

Pang Dakun had been holding back for a long time, and seeing Zhang Su make a move, he quickly asked a question.

"There's a problem, but I can't quite put my finger on it... What about you guys?"

Zhang Su did not deny it, but he also had no way to explain it, so he could only respond with such ambiguous words.

"I feel... I can't explain it, you see!"

Lu Yubo frowned and pointed his finger at the air. Suddenly, an ice spike nearly half a meter long emerged from his fingertip, its cold light chilling and its sharpness incomparable!

“I used to be able to release a finger gun that was only 28 centimeters long, but now look at this, it’s almost half a meter long! And the overall speed hasn’t changed.”

As he spoke, the ice spike at his fingertips shattered and dissipated, but everyone could clearly see that, just as Lu Yubo had said, the release distance was longer while maintaining the original speed.

"The manipulation of cold energy is now smoother and silkier!"

Ju Wuying casually stroked the dining table beside her, and a chill silently enveloped it before vanishing without a trace. The entire process was effortless and fluid.

"Yes, that's how I feel too!"

"Don't tell me, really don't tell me..."

Some people noticed the change, while others personally experienced it after Lu Yubo and Ju Wuying demonstrated it, and found that it was indeed the case!

Zhang Su belonged to the latter group. His focus had been entirely on the silver-plated skin of the energy bar, pondering it for a long time. Since the energy bar and the Frozen Heart belonged to two different systems, he hadn't even considered studying the application of cold energy...

"Dr. Fu's guess should be correct. This thing can enhance the power related to zombies. In the end, this thing must be a product of the civilization that created the zombies. For us, it is a double-edged sword."

When Zhang Su spoke, he looked at Chen Hanzhou. Among the people present, if he was the most special, then Chen Hanzhou would have to be ranked second!

Chen Hanzhou felt Zhang Su's gaze, nodded casually, and the two communicated silently.

"If only I had brought the programmer over, I could have known everything by personally checking it out."

Qi Xiaoshuai could only sigh in despair as he watched the ball go in.

"The program hasn't arrived yet, can't we just drag the ball back? This thing doesn't look that heavy, it's still floating on the sea, it probably won't take much effort to drag it. Just now, Brother Da Chao said to get a net bag, I think that's a good idea."

Zhao Dezhu pointed to a corner where there was a bundle of life rope and several life rings in nets; using what was available would definitely not be a problem.

"We've come all this way, we should do something about it, let's get started!"

Zhang Su gestured for several people with good practical skills to work together.

Soon, a strangely shaped trawl net was completed, but it was different from the original net bag.

Because the lifeline wasn't long enough, we ended up taking two curtains from the yacht, tying the bottom of the curtains together, and threading the rope through the hole at the top of the curtain. The curtain pocket was large enough to hold half a sphere of light without any problem!
"Forward, forward, forward, okay, stop here, stop!"

Zhang Su stood at the bow of the boat, estimating the distance. He waited until the rope could be looped over the sphere of light before stopping the yacht.

"Come on, I'm the best at this, brother, let me do it!"

Zhao Dezhu rolled up his sleeves and took the curtain from Zhang Su.

"Pillar, make sure you're careful. You're throwing it into the sea; you'll have to retrieve it yourself!"

Zhang Su was reluctant to let Zhao Dezhu handle the operation. This guy was a bit unpredictable; he was exceptionally reliable when working in the camp and never made a mistake, but all sorts of problems would arise whenever he went out on field missions...

If he weren't always so proactive, I would have suspected that he was deliberately causing trouble and using it as an excuse not to go out on fieldwork.

"Don't worry, buddy. I've been fishing for so many years, how could I possibly make a mistake!"

As he spoke the last four words slowly and deliberately, Zhao Dezhu threw the curtain along with a section of the lifeline toward the ball of light. Taking advantage of the brief moment the curtain was floating in the air, he pulled the ropes left and right!
As soon as the dark shadow flashed and enveloped the ball of light, none of their worries came true. Zhao Dezhu perfectly contained the ball of light with his bag, and the ball of light remained completely still!
Only after there were no problems during the formal contact did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The curtain wasn't in direct contact with the light sphere itself, but rather it was wrapped around the light armor. At the moment of contact, the light armor flickered, displaying complex lines, but it vanished in an instant and went unnoticed. "See, isn't that accurate!"

Zhao Dezhu made a slight adjustment, and the curtains steadily covered the other side of the glowing ball. To be fair, he didn't mess it up this time.

"Accurate, accurate, who can be as accurate as you..." Lu Yubo teased as always.

Pang Dakun said with concern, "Uncle Zhu, be careful not to fall into the sea!"

When we were adjusting the position, Zhao Dezhu leaned half his body out of the railing, which looked very dangerous.

"That's accurate enough, worthy of praise, haha, Zhu Zi, keep it up!"

Zhang Su clapped his hands and said, "Come on, try pulling it."

"Come on, big ball!"

Zhao Dezhu was very happy and pulled a little harder, but the ball of light did not move. Instead, the curtains made a creaking sound because they were taut.

"Uncle Zhu, you've been cooking for us all this time, haven't you eaten enough yourself?"

Pang Dakun's sincere questions were particularly poignant.

"Go play over there. Isn't this big ball heavy? I didn't use any force just now."

Zhao Dezhu teased Pang Kun, then turned to Zhang Su and said, "Brother, I'll give it my all?"

"Give it a try, anyway we'll be tethered to the yacht and towed around later."

Zhang Su shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

"Hey!"

Zhao Dezhu didn't hesitate. He got into position, took a deep breath, and slowly applied force, not daring to be too forceful at once, for fear of tearing the connection between the lifeline and the curtain.

"Ugh, this is bad... I can't pull it, or I'll tear the curtains!"

A few seconds later, Zhao Dezhu released his grip and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

This time, no one laughed. Everyone could see that Zhao Dezhu was putting in a lot of effort. If the ball were really floating in the air without any force, it would be impossible to move it with such a lot of force!

"It has nothing to do with you, there's something strange about this ball."

Zhang Su stepped forward, took the rope from Zhao Dezhu's hand, and gently pulled it straight. Snap... the rope made a taut sound, quite steady. He said, "Let me try. If the curtains are torn and we still can't pull it, we'll have to think of another way!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, watching from the sidelines while also pondering if there were any other solutions.

Zhang Su gripped the yacht railing with one hand, wrapped four ropes around his other arm, and began to slowly pull backward. As he increased his strength, he suddenly realized a completely unrelated problem!

As the power increased, the silver-plated skin on the energy bar became increasingly bright, even somewhat dazzling in that pitch-black space.

"What the hell is going on? This is so weird!"

Zhang Su muttered to himself, feeling frustrated, and loosened his grip.

"Uncle? What's wrong?"

Pang Dakun was about to cheer from the side when he suddenly saw Zhang Su lower his arm and was quite surprised.

Zhang Su frowned and shook his head. As he relaxed his strength, the radiance on the silver-plated energy bar began to slowly diminish.

"I'm going to do some experiments, don't rush me."

Zhang Su explained and pulled the rope again. As the force increased, the skin of the energy bar began to glow, just like before, which was quite dazzling.

"Damn, this is so strange, I don't feel anything special."

Zhang Su scratched his head, this phenomenon had really stumped him.
