The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1119 Look for the reasons within yourself!
The head of Genesis's research department thought that if they didn't report information, the general wouldn't know what was happening on the front lines—that was utter nonsense.

The command center immediately reported the news that the helicopter had lost contact in the North River District. This was a very important matter, and there was no time to delay. It could even go directly to the leader, bypassing the minister!

When the general received the news, he remained very calm and simply replied with three words: "I understand."

All explorations come with risks. When the Warhawks were dispatched, the general was prepared for losses. He had no choice but to go!

"Qincheng, Beihe District".

The general stood atop the highest watchtower in Yong County, gazing into the distance to the northeast. That place had repeatedly caused his men to suffer heavy losses, and it truly possessed some kind of magic. He didn't mind, nor did he even have any intention of investigating it.

Compared to Qin Cheng, he had something more to worry about: yesterday he received a research report on zombies, also from the research department, but from a different division than the one that detects energy fluctuations, and that specializes in studying living zombies.

The report shows that several groups of zombies observed exhibited abnormal fluctuations in their brainwaves yesterday, which are suspected to be related to the enhancement index, but there is no evidence to support this.

Ordinary survivors were not troubled by the various changes because they had not yet affected their lives, but those in charge needed to have foresight and devote more energy!

……

……

The distance from the sea area where the light sphere was salvaged to Qincheng Port is not too far, and the overall time spent is not long.

The members of the Yama Legion, who possessed icy energy within their bodies, mostly sat on the edge of the deck. The light emanating from the large sphere had dimmed, but the sphere itself was still glowing. They chatted amongst themselves, with some saying that their internal energy was increasing. Since they could be improved, they might as well stay put!
You can become powerful just by sitting down? Where else can you find such a good thing? Just thinking about it makes the future seem promising.

The strange behavior attracted the attention of some ordinary members, and occasionally someone whispered about it, but it did not cause widespread concern. The leaders of the Yama Legion were doing their thing, and other legions should not interfere.

Zhang Su was also sitting at the bow of the aircraft carrier. He checked on Chang Ying's situation and found nothing wrong. Just as he was about to end the call, Pang Dakun on the other end said something that sounded very dejected.

"Uncle, could you find someone else to watch 'Short Bird'? We'd like to go out on the deck and get some sunlight..."

The other companions with cold energy in their bodies are all improving their strength, but he and Qi Xiaoshuai are the only ones who have taken on a tough job. It's so annoying, it's all that guy in the cargo hold's fault for insisting on running this way!
Moreover, Pang Dakun is the one with the weakest cold ability, and he is the one who needs to improve the most!
"Haha, isn't it because we have a glorious mission for you two? Since you've said so, and I think Chang Ying is quite well-behaved, we'll find someone else to keep watch. You two can look around on the ship and assign whoever you think is suitable."

Zhang Su finally understood. It was hard to say whether Chang Ying had truly surrendered, but he was a man who valued his dignity and had a strong conviction in his heart. He wouldn't make any more futile struggles. Since that was the case, there was no need to keep a close eye on him, as it would make Tianma Island seem cowardly and petty.

As long as he guards the last checkpoint, Chang Ying will have no chance of escaping!
On the second ship from the right, a figure peeked out from beside the cargo hold. After overhearing the conversation between Pang Dakun and Zhang Su, he immediately jumped out.

"Brother Kun, you guys go ahead and do what you need to do, I'll cover your shift!"

Wang Zhetao jogged up to Pang Dakun with a sincere smile.

"Huh? Da Tao?"

Pang Dakun looked at Wang Zhetao with some surprise.

When this guy lived on Tianma Island, we were all around the same age and had a lot in common, so we chatted happily. But then, for some reason, he was transferred away.

I inquired around but still couldn't find the specific reason. I only heard some negative news about Wang Zhetao and learned that he was a talker who didn't follow through. I gradually lost my goodwill towards this kind of guy who loved to take advantage and was greedy for credit.

"Hey, Da Tao, this eagle is very dangerous. Are you sure you can keep an eye on it?"

Qi Xiaoshuai didn't really trust Wang Zhetao either, mainly because the guy hadn't left a good impression on him.

Wang Zhetao patted his chest and said, "It's all right, it's all right, don't worry, I've turned over a new leaf and I'm serious about my work now!" Trust takes a long time to build, but it can collapse in an instant. Pang Dakun clearly didn't quite believe Wang Zhetao. He hesitated for a moment with a twisted expression, then shook the walkie-talkie in his hand and said, "I'll tell Uncle."

"Uncle, um... Da Tao, Wang Zhetao wants to take our shift and watch over Chang Niao. What do you think?"

In such a short time, Pang Dakun had already given Chang Ying quite a few nicknames.

"Wang Zhetao?"

Zhang Su knew that Wang Guangjun's son was on a mission with the reserve army. He had changed from his previous loud and boisterous personality to a very inconspicuous person. Occasionally, Zhang Su would glance at him and find that he was quite diligent in his work, which was a change from before.

In his memory, Wang Zhetao had always been someone who liked to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so he never expected him to be willing to step forward and take risks, which was unlike him.

"Alright, let him give it a try."

Zhang Su would not object if Wang Zhetao was willing to change, but it would be very difficult for him to re-enter the core group no matter what.

"Alright, Uncle said you can take our place, but you have to be careful. It's best to always have the walkie-talkie in your hand. Also, hide in a blind spot where he can't directly attack you..."

With Zhang Su's approval, Pang Dakun and Qi Xiaoshuai had no more concerns. After giving a few instructions, they ran to the edge of the deck, chatting with other legion members and asking about the situation.

Wang Zhetao watched the two men run away, pursed his lips, and was just about to find a corner to sit down when he heard people talking inside the cargo hold.

"Young man, they seem to distrust you. Have you committed a crime before?"

Wang Zhetao paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "You flatter me. I used to live with them, but then... sigh, why am I telling you all this? You just stay put, and I can complete my mission properly. Thank you for your trouble."

Wang Zhetao chose to remain silent, finding it unpleasant to revisit his past.

"He's quite polite... Making mistakes is inevitable. Don't expect others to be lenient with you; look for the reasons within yourself!"

Chang Ying was definitely a high-level leader at Genesis and knew Wang Zhetao's situation all too well, so he casually gave him a piece of advice.

"Don't pin your hopes on yourself, forgive yourself, or worry about the reasons?"

Wang Zhetao muttered Chang Ying's words, then suddenly paused, as if he had received some kind of enlightenment. When he lowered his head again to talk to Chang Ying, he found that the other party had lowered his head again, seemingly unwilling to speak.

Zhang Su hung his arms on the railing, leisurely looking ahead, pondering the mysterious principle of the glowing sphere for a while. Unable to figure it out, he simply let his mind wander, and time slowly passed until someone spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"Brother Su, those low-mutation zombies in the container are restless. Should we deal with them?"

Wu Daqiang heard the container making a loud clanging noise, so he came over to check the situation. The continuous impacts, coupled with the dense, muffled roars, were somewhat physically unsettling.

"Are the zombies in the container reacting?"

Zhang Su came to his senses and felt somewhat surprised.

The light from the large sphere couldn't even reach the containers, let alone the zombies inside. It could still affect them, which shows that the reduced radiance didn't affect the enhancement effect!
"Those zombies with broken arms and legs can't cause any trouble, but just to be safe, Daqiang, turn on the power to the container and keep those guys quiet! Be careful when operating it."

After Zhang Su finished speaking, he looked into the distance, and Qincheng Port suddenly appeared in his sight.
