"You just said you drew this conclusion based on historical myths? You just casually concluded that the antidote is in the Kunlun Mountains?"

When the base commander heard Zhang Gong's statement, he was surprised, but still somewhat skeptical.

Because Zhang Gong himself didn't know what the antidote was, why did he just let them pass by like that?

"The reason why humans, animals, and plants have undergone mutations is that the Earth's magnetic field was suddenly altered by a wave of energy. The zombie virus also suddenly appeared on Earth. The virus is like the flu, but unlike the flu, its origin is not humans, marine life, or animals, but the Earth's magnetic field."

"That's all I can say. There are too many unknown things in this world. Even in times of peace, many supernatural phenomena occur, but ordinary people have never encountered them. Now, however, supernatural phenomena have suddenly increased tens of thousands of times, and ordinary people are also coming into contact with extraordinary things!"

"The conclusion that the antidote may be in the Kunlun Mountains is the result of deductions from various aspects. Your strength is great, and you are the most suitable people to go to Kunlun to find the antidote."

Zhang Gong pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke calmly throughout, his tone not slow and deliberate, with a faint smile on his face.

Appropriate and generous, without appearing overly calculating.

Every word was spoken from the heart.

"Your abilities should be far greater than ours, so why did you choose us? Besides, I'm not the only one with powerful superpowers!"

The base commander squinted at the surging energy crystal core inside the wooden box.

These crystals will allow him to break through again in a very short period of time.

The higher the level of a superpower, the more crystal cores are needed to upgrade that power, and the higher the level of the crystal cores required.

To be honest, these crystal cores are more than enough for the base chief and the Bai family to advance several major ranks together.

"I don't trust others."

Zhang Gong's gaze swept over the three people in front of him, his slender fingers gently adjusting the neatly tailored suit he was wearing.

This summer is much hotter than last year; even at night, the temperature is still frighteningly high.

Zhang Gong, however, was dressed in a suit without a single wrinkle, exuding a refined and approachable air.

"Why do you trust us? And why don't you go yourself?"

The base commander was still a bit cautious.

I'm afraid of being taken advantage of.

The Kunlun Mountains are still some distance from the safe base. Not to mention the dangers along the way, the Kunlun Mountains are definitely covered with all kinds of green plants.

The mutated animals and plants there are even more terrifying than hordes of zombies.

“Because you are special, you won’t be greedy for that little bit of benefit.” Zhang Gong smiled, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a glint of light, and looked directly at Bai Xizhu. “The future of the world needs you, your existence determines the future of the world, whether you believe it or not, that’s the fact.”

The base commander frowned.

Saying it is the same as not saying it at all.

He didn't understand.

He understood that his family was powerful and his daughter-in-law had a special ability, but what did all this have to do with what Zhang Gong was saying?

"I have to go now. Take the reward. I'll come back once you find the key to unlock the zombie virus. You can ask for whatever reward you want then, even the position of commander-in-chief of the Global Human Survivors Alliance."

Zhang Gong stood up from his chair, gently smoothed some wrinkles in his clothes with his long, slender fingers, and then smiled at Bai Xizhu.

"Consider this my way of thanking you on behalf of humanity."

After speaking, Zhang Gong gave a slight bow in a gentlemanly manner.

It looks like he's bowing to the base commander, but judging from the angle, it also looks like he's bowing to Bai Xizhu, or perhaps Leng Yebai.

“Even if we were to go, you don’t have any clues. How are we supposed to find it?” the base commander said.

The allure of the eighth-order crystal core was too great, and the other party had not given a deadline. The base commander went from being wary to being completely tempted.

Why not take advantage of a free lunch?

Consider it a dowry for my son!

"I believe that once you go there, you will be able to learn the secret of the virus's origin. I don't know either; maybe it's there, maybe it isn't. It all depends on you."

Zhang Gong shook his head slightly, a hint of worry on his refined face.

He has seen too many sights along the way.

The Earth is scarred and ravaged.

No piece of land is absolutely pure.

His efforts alone are not enough to completely restore the world to its former state.

He also understood that there was no way to get high-level superpowered individuals to make unconditional sacrifices like him and to make them think about humanity.

Fortunately, his superpower was quite good, and the high-level crystal core served as compensation for these people.

High-level superhumans are not obligated to protect ordinary people. Everyone has their own reason to live, and everyone should live well for themselves.

It's completely impossible to get them to make selfless contributions!

Zhang Gong felt that this was not entirely possible.

"You still haven't said why you didn't go yourself!" The base commander looked at the gold-rimmed glasses on Zhang Gong's face, his voice low and menacing. "Were you deliberately trying to trick us?"

Zhang Gong's expression remained unchanged, and his gold-rimmed glasses reflected a bewitching golden light under the lamplight.

The golden metal seemed alive, incredibly alluring.

“I won’t lie to you. You can treat this as a high-level mission. The contents of the wooden box are your deserved reward.”

A profound glint flashed in Zhang Gong's eyes.

"The reason I'm not going there is because I have something really important to do, and my destination is the South China Sea."

Zhang Gong's fingers unconsciously touched the earpiece of his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice as calm as ever.
