Chapter 788: [???]

Thinking about how Program One can communicate with zombies to control them, Chen Hanzhou couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. These two working together, with Qiu Hui receiving instructions and passing them to Program One, which then interacts with zombies for control, could create endless possibilities.

“Brother Su, Sister Qiu and Program One…”

“What’s with Program One or Eight, we’re discussing how to allocate this medicine now, don’t interrupt!”

Zhang Su reacted quickly, seeing that Chen Hanzhou was about to spill secrets and immediately stopped him.

Chen Hanzhou wasn’t foolish. Seeing Zhang Su’s reaction, he understood that the matter of Program One mustn’t be exposed, most likely it shouldn’t be known by Fu Weijun…

Zhang Su and Chen Hanzhou weren’t ignorant, so was Fu Weijun clueless?

He quickly caught onto something unusual, asking directly without a hint of disguise, “Mr. Zhang, what was Xiaochen talking about, this Program One?”

“We’ll talk about Program One later!”

Since Fu Weijun asked directly, Zhang Su chose not to answer directly.

Then he shook the self-sealing bag in his hand, “We’re discussing drug distribution now. Why are you all interrupting? What are you thinking? Previously I was against democracy, but on this matter, I’m not planning to make the decision, you decide for yourselves. Even if you want to settle it with rock-paper-scissors, I won’t interfere!”

After he finished, Zhang Su took out a cigarette, walked to the window, lit it up, looked at them, and added, “You can discuss anything, but no using force to resolve it!”

The group couldn’t help but laugh, using force would be too ridiculous.

“Brother Su, I want to ask, where did this material come from, is there no chance to acquire more?”

Chen Hanzhou planned to understand the situation before deciding whether to compete for it.

Zhang Su felt some things shouldn’t be hidden, so he said, “You’re not unfamiliar with this stuff, you even have some credit for it. It’s extracted from the liquefied gas zombie. Normal zombies don’t have it, usually, only highly mutated zombies produce this kind of… organ.”

“Oh my god, this… this is from a zombie’s body? Too, too incredible.”

Qiu Hui thought it was some miracle medicine grown from the essence of the universe, but didn’t expect it was harvested from the zombies she despises most. A lost leg was caused by zombies, and now the hope for limb regeneration also comes from zombies.

After hearing Zhang Su’s words, Chen Hanzhou’s expression was a little strange. He pointed towards the parking lot, “Then the Fire-breathing Zombie…”

“Correct, Dr. Xie and I both think there’s probably an organ of this quality inside the Fire-breathing Zombie, but forgive my frankness, even if I lost an arm, I wouldn’t dare to mess with the Fire-breathing Zombie!”

This was the honest thought in Zhang Su’s heart. The Fire-breathing Zombie held too much value for the entire camp, whether for development or defense, especially with the Black Crystal, the worth of the Fire-breathing Zombie skyrockets!

The three of them fell silent. They were confident, but not arrogant; they knew they held some place in the camp but could never outweigh the leader’s influence.

“Why not… split it into three parts and take a gamble?”

Qiu Hui offered a suggestion.

“No way!”

“No, no, no…”

Before Zhang Su could speak, Chen Hanzhou and Fu Weijun rushed to object, especially Fu Weijun, showing firm and resolute denial.

“Gentlemen.”

After shouting, Fu Weijun’s tone shifted as he turned his wheelchair to look at Chen Hanzhou and Qiu Hui, “To be frank, I discovered this material; I tested its effects. Mr. Zhang had promised me one piece before, please fulfill this promise.”

Stating facts, claiming credit, and building alliances, Fu Weijun did not want to miss this opportunity.

Zhang Su did not meddle, as Fu Weijun hadn’t exaggerated in the slightest — he’d given prior promise not to intervene.

Qiu Hui smiled and shrugged, “I’m really not in a rush to regain my leg; I don’t need to run. If Dr. Fu can stand up, I’ll inherit his wheelchair. Xiaochen, you can have the other one.”

In contrast to Fu Weijun’s assertiveness, Qiu Hui’s generous demeanor seemed graceful, but at this moment, no one would use morality to bind anyone.

Striving is human nature; yielding is a grace.

Chen Hanzhou lowered his head, remaining silent, adjusting his mechanical limb, making gear-clashing sounds. It used to be smooth, but over time, some joints had started to jam.

He did not accept Qiu Hui’s concession, but instead looked at Zhang Su, “Brother Su, surely the Golden Legend is rare but… it shouldn’t be gone forever, right?”

Zhang Su took a deep breath of his cigarette, the ember burning a portion quickly, and amid contemplation, he exhaled the smoke and said, “Back then, in the northeast of the camp, in that swarm of over a hundred thousand zombies, the ones entering Qin City, remember? There was a mutated zombie inside that could interfere with drones from a distance… I think the mutation level of that zombie was high enough. Unfortunately, some brothers went scouting in the city and found that the zombies seemed to be affected by shockwaves and were moving southwest; they won’t be here anytime soon.”

He didn’t directly answer Chen Hanzhou’s question but gave an indirect hint that even if there’s still a chance for the Golden Legend, it would be very challenging and not in the near future.

“Can I apply to hunt down that unknown mutated zombie?”

Chen Hanzhou showed no sign of acknowledging any difficulties; his eyes were glowing, full of fighting spirit.

Zhang Su’s mouth twitched slightly, inwardly questioning himself, has the camp’s population surged to the point where he also starts to seek a comfortable life and lose his fighting spirit, never contemplating such a daring plan?

“Xiaochen, don’t risk it; I’m honestly not in a hurry to recover. You take it.”

Qiu Hui understood Chen Hanzhou’s implication, unsure if he aimed to consume it first and find another for himself later, or refused to accept the gift, intent on hunting the mutated zombie himself for the remedy.

Chen Hanzhou gave a polite smile, shook his head, and still did not agree.

Zhang Su frowned, “Your idea is too radical. I’m not in favor because the situation is too complex; understanding nothing is akin to a death wish. Moreover, aren’t you being overly confident?”

He knew very well the source of Chen Hanzhou’s confidence. Has there been an improvement in recent days?

“I’m not overly confident, Brother Su… we admittedly don’t understand the situation now, but we can scout, can’t we? When Sister Hui regains mobility of her legs, she won’t be detected by zombies, she could infiltrate the swarm to gather intelligence, it shouldn’t be hard!”

Chen Hanzhou finally revealed his intention and plan.

Whether Qiu Hui had ulterior motives in her concession was unknown, but Chen Hanzhou’s kindness was conditional; he could give Qiu Hui the Golden Thalamus, but she had to help spy on the mutated zombie, that was the exchange.

He had considered seizing the opportunity himself, but as Zhang Su said, without understanding the situation, even if his arm would be restored, his combat effectiveness wouldn’t increase much; knowing intelligence was far more critical!

To some extent, Chen Hanzhou considered the entire situation from the camp’s perspective, showing a certain sense of strategy.

Zhang Su didn’t express his stance immediately; he clearly sensed a change in Chen Hanzhou’s personality from before. Though he hadn’t used the [Insight Label] to check Chen Hanzhou’s status, he understood deeply through extended interaction.

This wasn’t the Chen Hanzhou he knew.

The reason was straightforward; it must have been influenced by that mysterious energy within him.

As he thought, Zhang Su cast an [Insight Label] towards Chen Hanzhou, but the three bubbles made him completely dumbfounded.

[???][???][???]

What the heck is this?

Zhang Su quickly pretended that his eyes were itching, took off his frog-style sunglasses to rub the corners of his eyes, in reality trying to cover his uncontrollable expression.

The usually infallible [Insight Label] failed, seemingly providing no useful information, but in fact, delivered an even larger amount of information!

[Target invalid, attempts retrieved, 8/20]

“Whew”

Zhang Su let out a long breath, filled with amazement, and a bit of surprise; not being used successfully didn’t consume an attempt, quite thoughtful!
