Although Zhang Jianzhou brought up the name Zhong Jianzhou, it made me waver for a moment.

But I still don't believe it, because I know that Zhong Jianzhou was the one who arrested him. What if he made all of this up? Then it all becomes questionable.

However, I can't trust Zhang Jianzhou's words at all. I guess he's still hiding a lot from me. When I want to kill him, he'll definitely squeeze it out little by little, like toothpaste.

If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll be tricked by him again.

Therefore, when the time comes, we must ask him everything he knows.

As for Zhong Jianzhou's matter, there's no rush. If Zhong Jianzhou is really in Jiajiang City, then he definitely can't escape. Since Zhong Jianzhou isn't at the school, he might be in Jiangbei or Biyuan.

Now that I'm in Jiajiang, it's time to visit Su Mu.

I wonder what the situation is like in Biyuan now. So much time has passed, Biyuan should have been destroyed by Su Mu long ago, right?

I said, "I still don't believe you."

Zhang Jianzhou said with a bitter expression, "I've already said it, once you find this Zhang Jianzhou, you'll know that everything I said is true."

"But what if we can't find it?"

Zhang Jianzhou said confidently, "Impossible! He's definitely in Jiajiang City. I'm very sure of that. You just need to look for him, and you'll definitely be able to find him."

I stared at him expressionlessly, stood up again, walked to his side, and said, "I don't know what you're thinking. Whether you want to escape or kill me, it doesn't matter. But Zhang Jianzhou, I can tell you very seriously, if you don't want to tell me the truth, I will kill you directly. As for Pu Weichao, I don't care whether I can find him or not. As long as he is still alive, I don't care about anything else."

"No..." Zhang Jianzhou was stunned for a moment, "I, I'm telling the truth, I didn't lie to you, everything I said is true!"

I smiled and said, "But I remember that when Pu Weichao went to the research institute, he wasn't bitten by any zombies. So he didn't need any treatment. Given that, and considering his personality, he's even less likely to take any medicine or receive any injections. So how did the people at the research institute put the coordinates into his body?"

"Even if it's hidden in his clothes, it won't be found once he changes his clothes? Tell me, how did the research institute manage to put the coordinates inside his body?"

Zhang Jianzhou was speechless, unsure how to explain.

I said, "Zhang Jianzhou, my patience has its limits. I'll give you one last chance. If you still don't intend to tell me the truth, then there's nothing I can do. I'll have to kill you and then think of another way. Anyway, keeping you alive won't do me any good, don't you think?"

"I..." Zhang Jianzhou said with a bitter face, "I really didn't lie to you!"

I shook my head and said, "It seems you really don't want to talk about it. Well, there's nothing I can do then. You can tell the ghosts after you die."

Zhang Jianzhou panicked immediately. "No, no, no, Lu Xiaonan, please stop! I've already told you everything I know. What more do you want from me? I just want to live! I have no other thoughts! At worst, you can just lock me up here from now on! Didn't you say this is your territory? If you lock me up here, I can't get out anyway."

I said, "But why should I keep you locked up here? You're wasting our food, and I have to worry about you escaping. But if I kill you, I won't have to worry about anything. What do you think?"

At this moment, Zhang Jianzhou knelt down before me and begged, "Lu Xiaonan, please spare my life for the sake of our teacher-student relationship. You've already killed me once. I don't want to die, I really don't want to die."

I stared at him and said, "Fine, if you don't want to die, then give me a reason not to kill you."

Zhang Jianzhou's eyes darted around, clearly trying to figure out what reason he could use to save his life.

Finally, he said, "I can help you break free from Central Town's control!"

I looked at him with a puzzled expression, expecting him to say something nonsensical, but this was something I hadn't anticipated.

I asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean by that? Breaking free from the control of Central Town?"

Zhang Jianzhou looked at me and said, "Actually, I know you're not a plunderer at all. And let me tell you the truth, Ye Qian has now publicly declared that the research institute in Mingzhu City is his, and you are all his people. On the surface, it seems to be beneficial to you all, but your refusal to join Central Town is the fatal flaw. After a certain period of time, Ye Qian will definitely ask you again."

"If you still refuse to join Central Town by then, Ye Qian will definitely take action against you. However, I can help you get rid of Central Town, and even make you the master of Central Town! Then everything will be fine."

I sneered, "Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Jianzhou hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm not joking with you. What I'm telling you is true. As long as you let me live, I can make you the controller of Central Town! I'm not lying to you. What I'm saying is true. I've been in Central Town for quite a while now, and I know everything about it. As long as we cooperate, we can take over Central Town in one fell swoop. What I'm saying is true. You have to believe me."

I frowned, still a little worried about Zhang Jianzhou.

But his suggestion was somewhat appealing to me.

Controlling Central Town is tantamount to controlling the entire raider group, which is a very large force.

But upon closer reflection, I felt something was amiss. Ye Qian controlled a third of the forces in Central Town. Although Ye Qian was not the actual controller of Central Town, he held a pivotal position there.

To control Centraltown, we must destroy it, but after destroying it, Centraltown will lose one-third of its power.

But sometimes, other raider teams will listen to me?

Absolutely impossible.

I stared at Zhang Jianzhou and said, "Tell me, how can you help me? Ye Qian alone is more than we can handle."

When Zhang Jianzhou heard about my culture, his face relaxed a little, and he said, "Can I tell you about this tomorrow? I was scared to death by you today, and it's so late at night, my mind isn't clear. Let's wait until tomorrow. After tomorrow, I will tell you about the situation in the central town in detail. Anyway, I can't escape now that you've locked me here."
