The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1130 What if it's not the only one?

“I have a different opinion… Elder Zong may not be teaching you fake skills, but rather you simply can’t learn them!”

Suddenly, Tachibana Mai, who had been quiet all along, spoke, looking at Chang Qingsheng with a calm gaze.

Chang Qingsheng had a deep impression of this woman. With a slash of his sword, several of his men died on the spot like watermelons. He charged wildly along the iron chain. If Zhang Su hadn't chased after him by leaping through the air, he would have been facing this woman!
Judging from the strength displayed by his opponent, Chang Qingsheng felt that he was not confident of winning; at most, it would be a situation where both sides would be injured.
“Miss Ju is right. Elder Zong’s teaching is very dedicated. Perhaps we are just too stupid to understand his profound methods. I saw before… never mind, it’s alright.”

Chang Qingsheng noticed that Tachibana Mai Sakura's moves were clearly different from the others. He wanted to have a casual chat, but suddenly realized that the occasion was inappropriate and quickly stopped.

"Okay, so the current situation is that we know the enhancement index is rising, but we don't know when it will rain, how to use the rain, or how to prevent it. We don't even need to ask about prevention methods; just kill the zombies and be done with it, right?"

Zhang Su steered the conversation back to the reinforcement index.

Everyone nodded; the problem was clear, and the solution was simple.

"Now I'm a little confused. Are these zombies' inexplicable changes caused by an increase in some substance that feeds back to the enhancement index, or by the glowing sphere?"

Zhang Su spread his hands, his face full of confusion.

"Oh my god, could it be..." Zheng Xinyu's face was full of expressions, her features scrunched up as she said, "These two things can't be related, can they? Or is it that thing that's causing all this trouble?"

She pointed in the direction of the port.

"That can't be... Sister-in-law, look, Lao Chang and the others went as far as Shanxi Province, and the zombies there have become stronger. What does that prove? It proves that the rainfall is very likely to be global. Could that planet affect the whole world?"

Zhao Dezhu smiled and waved his hand, doubting Zheng Xinyu's guess.

"You're right, but we can't prove that there's only one ball in the whole world, can we?"

Everyone was speechless; Zheng Xinyu was right.

Zheng Xinyu had an idea in mind, and then deduced: "Moreover, according to our previous guess, that stubborn ball is unwilling to leave the sea, does that mean it is absorbing water vapor and then creating precipitation?"

"Hey, you know what..."

"This angle is interesting, sister-in-law. I think you have a point."

Zhang Su couldn't help but fall into thought, as many strange things happened after he came into contact with the ball of light.

The strangely behaving zombies on Turtle Rock Island, the bizarre dreams every night, the changes happening inside the body, and the silver-plated skin on the energy bar!
The last thing in particular bothered him: it was the physical data that had been materialized after he received the reward from the challenge mission. How could the glowing sphere make a fuss about that? It was too strange!

The crowd gathered around the large ball, chattering excitedly. Chang Qingsheng joined in, sharing many of his observations from afar.

In the entire Hebei Province and even a large part of Shanxi Province, only this one glowing sphere has been discovered. If Zheng Xinyu's deduction is correct, then the area that such a glowing sphere can cover is terrifying!

As Zhang Su listened to the discussions, a map of China appeared in his mind, and he imagined scenes of glowing spheres appearing in the north, northeast, northwest, central, and southwest regions.

Perhaps, as Zheng Xinyu said, this thing is not unique.

"Alright, let's stop discussing this for now. In short, keeping zombies around is a disaster. If we wipe out all the zombies in the world, we humans will be the ultimate victors, and the survivors will rebuild civilization! Let's go back first; we have a lot of things to do at the camp."

After saying that, everyone returned to the car and set off again. After crossing the Haihe Bridge, Zhang Su saw Zhou Haotian and Wang Longzhong waiting by the roadside, so he rolled down the car window and said, "Old Wang, Little Zhou, you've worked hard. Hey, Little Zhou, shouldn't you be preparing for the invention department's matters? Why are you here on lookout duty?"

Zhang Su was preoccupied with other things and hadn't noticed this.

Zhou Haotian chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Brother Su, well... Dr. Fu and the others seem to be conducting some special experiment, which is a bit confidential, so they told us to wait a couple of days before starting work. We happen to be short-staffed here, so I'll fill in for them!"

"A special experiment?"

Zhang Su raised an eyebrow and looked at Zheng Xinyu, who shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing.

"Okay, I understand. Just letting you know, the weather is a bit off. Keep a close eye on the horde of zombies, and report any unusual activity to the camp immediately!"

"Don't worry, Su-ge, one of us will always keep an eye on the horde of zombies, we promise we won't slack off!"

Zhou Haotian patted his chest and gave his assurance.

A young boy and a middle-aged man stood at the bridgehead watching the car drive away. Wang Longzhong murmured, "Little Zhou, what do you think Brother Su and the others were researching earlier?"

"Studying zombies, huh... I see there's someone I don't recognize in the team, probably a new guy who just joined the camp, I guess I should introduce him!"

Zhou Haotian stroked his slightly stubbled chin, lost in thought.

"What's there to introduce? Besides, Brother Su told us to keep a close eye on the horde of zombies. There must be a reason. Sigh, when will we be able to find and kill the mutated zombies in the horde?"

Wang Longzhong had one arm wrapped in gauze. He had lost an arm since being bitten last time and was waiting for the golden thalamus to be filled, so he was very concerned about the emotional zombie in the horde.

"Um, well... didn't Brother Su take down a mutated zombie on the aircraft carrier? Don't worry, you'll recover soon! I just wanted to know what Brother Su and the others were researching just now. Never mind, I won't think about it anymore. I'll find out when the time is right."

"Yes, that's right. Let's go back and keep a close eye on things, lest something really goes wrong..."

Wang Longzhong and Zhou Haotian returned to Xidaying Village and continued their surveillance. They stopped thinking about things they couldn't understand and were free from worries. However, the people in Cui Lengxuan were quite troubled!

After the two shipping containers and the ice coffin containing the steam zombie were transported back to Tianma Island, the ice coffin was immediately delivered to the courtyard of Cui Lengxuan, while the shipping containers, because they took up a lot of space and the parking lot had to prioritize unloading, could only be parked in an open space at the foot of the mountain.

Fu Weijun, Xie Yanshan, and Zuo Fengjuan completed the handover immediately, but during the process, others noticed something strange.

Normally, Duan Wuhu and Zuo Fengjuan would handle these matters, and Fu Weijun and Xie Yanshan would never be involved. But today was strange; Duan Wuhu was nowhere to be seen.

When asked what Teacher Duan was busy with at Cui Lengxuan, the person replied that he was resting due to a relapse of an old injury, which was quite inconsistent with the image of Teacher Duan in everyone's mind.

In the past, Fu Weijun and Xie Yanshan would have been overjoyed to see a large number of low-mutation zombies, plus one high-mutation zombie. They would have been so happy they would have jumped for joy. But today, neither of them was in high spirits...

Duan Wuhu was injected with the modification fluid and has been unconscious all night. Coupled with the suspicions from the outside world, they are becoming increasingly panicked.

Fortunately, Duan Wuhu's condition did not worsen, but he looked very anxious, like he was half-dead.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Once the drug is injected into the body, there's no way to stop it or go back to the beginning; there's only one path to follow.
