The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1227 It turns out it wasn't aimed at me!

"Is it a language barrier? With your level of technology, can't you analyze and understand the language of humans on our planet in no time? Come on, tell me what's going on!"

Zhang Su spoke earnestly, truly treating the sphere of light as the subject of his conversation.

Unfortunately, nothing changed this time; they completely ignored me...

"The zombie crisis was caused by you, no, by the civilization behind you, no, anyway, it was caused by that thing that landed on our planet. What was its purpose?"

"Are you planning a space invasion, or an accidental crash? Are you intending to turn this entire planet into an experimental base?"

"Stop messing around. If you want to stay on Earth, then stay. If you don't, then leave, okay?"

……

"Sister-in-law, why is this young man chatting with the light ball? Is he alright?"

On the aircraft carrier, many people were watching Zhang Su's movements. Zhao Dezhu saw him chatting with someone and talking to the big ball, which made him a little nervous.

Zheng Xinyu frowned and shook her head, slowly saying, "They probably just want to study the secrets of the light sphere. It would be great if that thing could really provide feedback."

"Brother Su definitely has his ways. Wait, what is Brother Su trying to do?"

As they were talking, everyone saw Zhang Su stand up, seemingly intending to reach out and touch the ball of light.

Zhang Su tried to reach out and touch the glowing sphere, but it was a little too far away. He would have to jump over to reach it. Just then, a strong thought struck his brain. There were no words, sounds, or images, but the message was clear: Don't touch it!
"Who?"

Zhang Su's body stiffened, his heart trembled. The feeling he had just experienced was extraordinary; he had never felt anything like it before. The white mist domain could indeed cover the light sphere, but it had no effect whatsoever. He was certain that it was not a warning from the white mist.

"New capabilities? Danger prediction?"

Zhang Su slowly sat back on the hook, his brows furrowed as he stared at the ball of light before him: "Was it you? Were you issuing a warning to me?"

There was no response, and everything around was calm and normal, as if nothing had happened, but that feeling still hadn't completely dissipated.

"Strange things keep happening one after another, damn it..."

Zhang Su was annoyed and wanted to jump onto the ball of light without thinking, just to see what would happen, but reason told him that it was inappropriate to do so.

The warning sign was definitely true, but if you want to figure out what's going on, try it again!

Zhang Su stood up again, pretending to jump onto the glowing sphere, and sure enough, that intense feeling appeared again!
Moreover, there were other phenomena this time!
Zhang Su noticed that the energy bar was acting strangely, as if it was trying to break free from the outer silver skin. The silver wrapping around it also shone brightly as the energy bar expanded and twisted, trying to imprison it!
"This……"

The energy bar and the silver-white envelope were locked in a struggle, a scene that left Zhang Su dumbfounded. In an instant, he seemed to understand something.

The energy bar represents his physical condition, but it can also represent something else: the mysterious power that issues challenge missions and grants him abilities!

"What being is the glowing sphere aimed at?"

Zhang Su plopped down, his mind suddenly clearing up, and some things he hadn't understood before gradually became clear.

"The glowing sphere is in conflict with the mysterious force that provides me with these abilities!"

If we make this judgment, many of the previous mysteries can be reasonably explained.

The bizarre dream was caused by the ball of light, which was targeting that mysterious power. He was just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. Every time danger was about to occur, the mysterious power would pull him out of the dream!
"Holy crap, boss, is this right...?"

Recalling those dreams, Zhang Su was basically certain of his guess, but it also raised new questions.

That mysterious force should belong to the same alien civilization that crashed to Earth, so how did they become opposing forces?
"One spaceship, two pilots?"

Zhang Su began to indulge in wild fantasies, but unfortunately, there were no answers.

"You're not targeting me, you want something inside me, right?"

Ask if you don't understand, but the orb of light chooses to remain silent.

"Hey, you're giving me challenge missions and enhancing my abilities, what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Su turned inward to seek answers, repeatedly calling out to the entity that had announced the challenge in his mind, but there was still no response.

It doesn't answer questions, but it warns when real danger arises. Zhang Su felt this spoke volumes. He couldn't grasp the essence of many things, but now he was certain that the glowing sphere and the mysterious power were intricately connected, and moreover…

Professor Zong's enhancement method should be able to amplify that power, which is why the glowing sphere felt wary. This also reveals another issue: the mysterious power is far stronger than the Frozen Heart!
Zhang Su sighed inwardly. The things that happened to him were too strange. No wonder he, a small convenience store owner, could become the leader of a camp of nearly 10,000 people. But this was by no means the end!
"Brother Su!"

Just then, someone on the aircraft carrier suddenly waved their arms and shouted loudly, "A ship is coming from the south, Brother Su!"

Zhang Su was instantly pulled out of his reverie.

"A ship is coming from the south? Master Zhao couldn't have arrived so quickly! Could it be that some of those two families had survivors who managed to escape?"

You don't need to go high in the air; just stand on the aircraft carrier and look out at the ocean, and you can see a cargo ship riding the waves, with the flag that once belonged to the company still flying on the highest flagpole...

With everything on the deck in sight, Zhang Su felt slightly disappointed, but at the same time became wary.

"It's a boat from the Laoshan camp! We don't know what they're up to, so let's prepare for battle."

Zhang Su issued the order.

"Brother Su, a batch of howitzers has been delivered today. How about we wait until they're within range and then just blast them out?"

“I think it’s a good idea, Uncle. They’ve come here so many times, we should teach them a lesson.”

"Well... wasn't that a bit too extreme? We don't even know their intentions yet. We can't hate them just because the Laoshan camp hunted down the survivors from Yancheng and Weishi. They might not be here to cause trouble!"

Some people are more radical, feeling that the repeated appearances at the Laoshan campsite are provocative and should be retaliated against.

Some people are more rational and believe that they should find out the other party's intentions before making a decision.

The reason is simple. For example, in a war, a powerful country A attacks countries B and C. Refugees from countries B and C flee to country D, which may be more powerful than country A. This does not mean that a conflict will break out between countries A and D.

Zhang Su agreed with the rational viewpoint, just as he had told Black Bear and Old K before: there was no need to worry about their safety in Qincheng, but he would not help them take revenge.

Human beings are no longer in a position to start wars over trivial matters, unless things go too far!
"With Daqiang gone, who else among you knows how to operate the aircraft carrier's communication systems?"

Zhang Su looked at everyone.

"I can try."

Pan Guoliang raised his hand.

"go!"

The two quickly arrived at the captain's cabin. Pan Guoliang awkwardly turned on the communication equipment, muttering to himself. Before he could figure it out, the equipment started beeping.

"Has someone requested access?"

Zhang Su remembered that the last time Yancheng Camp requested a connection, it was like this.

"Yes, that's right, it must be the ship on the other side. Let me think... Yes, that's it!"

Pan Guoliang flipped a switch, and the beeping stopped, replaced by a crackling electrical noise accompanied by indistinct human voices.

"Is this Qincheng Port? This is Chi Chengjiang, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Laoshan Camp in Qing City. Please reply upon receipt. Repeat..."

The call quality gradually stabilized only after the other party repeated it for the third time.

"Hey, they're quite polite, Su-ge. They don't seem like they're here to cause trouble. What should we do next?"

Seeing that Zhang Su had been holding the communicator for a long time without speaking, Pan Guoliang asked him a question.

Zhang Su gestured for silence, then pressed the call button: "This is Qincheng Port. What brings our friends from Qing City here?"

"Finally connected! It's a pleasure to meet you. We have something important to discuss with you. Please inform the supervisor in charge. Also, we have a huge surprise for you!"

What is a surprise...?

Zhang Su and Pan Guoliang looked at each other, still in a state of bewilderment, or perhaps a huge surprise?
