"Yes, Chairman."
All the commanders nodded.
Their eyes were full of confidence.
Although those cities are all large cities and the number of zombies must be huge, for the Dawn Society now... they are no longer an insurmountable problem.
Zhang Hao continued, "Besides that, is there anything else?"
Meng Wu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sbrown sent a lot of sea creatures to the South China Sea to spread some news, saying that your true identity... is human, and that you are not from the electric eel clan of the Coral Sea, in an attempt to cause the collapse of many sea creatures in the South China Sea."
"What?!"
These words were spoken.
Before Zhang Hao could even react, the other commanders were enraged.
Zhao Wu's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "How did the news leak out? How did that guy Spang know? Could it be... that guy William Smith who leaked it? I knew the sea people couldn't be trusted."
"..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Zhang Hao shook his head: "It wasn't William Smith who leaked it. Although we disagree now, it's not to the point that he would betray me. It must be a rumor spread by Sprung, right? Is it having a big impact?"
"Yes, Chairman."
Meng Wu thought for a moment and said, "The impact won't be too great. There are many kinds of sea creatures in the South China Sea, and I get along well with almost 90% of the sea creature chiefs. This rumor is not enough to shake them, it will just cause a little trouble."
"There are far too many sea creatures in the South China Sea. I can't 'open my heart' to every single one of them in a short time. This has led to some lower- and middle-level sea creatures within the group having doubts. But because of Eric's presence... there won't be any problems for the time being."
"Oh, what about Philip and Moen? What are they thinking?" Zhang Hao asked.
"They seem to have some doubts, but they've always been doing their own thing obediently. Even though there are some disagreements among the Axefish and Goblin Sharks, they've easily resolved them. Do you think they'd betray us?" Meng Wu asked, still uneasy.
"No, Philip and Moen are very smart."
Zhang Hao calmly said, "Compared to that reckless Blake, they are very clear that if the sea creatures are really controlled by humans, they will be in mortal danger if they do anything even slightly out of line."
"So they wisely didn't expose it, but this situation won't last long. Sea creatures are different from zombies... Most of them are just trying to survive on land, so they are not entirely hostile to humans."
"so……"
"It will depend on you making more friends with them. Level nine people are not so easily swayed, but you are now an level eight awakened one. With a little time... you can make them truly submit."
"Understood." Meng Wu nodded.
"What about William Sprand? Our original plan to launch a joint attack on the Arabian Sea has been shelved... Is there anything we should do in the Coral Sea?"
"No need, William Smith is fine to ignore."
Zhang Hao shook his head: "I don't owe him anything. Since he's unwilling, I won't force him. Let's not make any moves in the Arabian Sea for now. When the rumors stop working, Spang will eventually lose his patience."
"Yes, Chairman."
"Everyone else, the meeting is adjourned. Meng Wu, please stay."
"yes."
Everyone else left.
Meng Wu was left alone. He looked a little haggard, and some gray hairs had appeared on his head. You know... the higher the level of an Awakened One, the longer their lifespan.
Meng Wu, level eight...
Even though they have little combat power, they still have a long lifespan.
Normally, one shouldn't have gray hair even in their forties or fifties, but looking like this now... it's clearly due to exhaustion.
Zhang Hao said with a worried expression, "So many white hairs? You don't need to work so hard. The South China Sea is already our base. Subduing the chieftains of many sea tribes is enough. We can take care of the remaining low- and mid-level sea tribes slowly. There's no rush."
"Thank you for your understanding, Chairman, but it's not because of the South China Sea."
"Why is that?"
"..."
Meng Wu sighed: "Christine is getting weaker and weaker. She is now bedridden. Although she can still move around... she can only sleep most of the time."
"Hmm? How much lifespan do I have left?"
"One year."
Meng Wu said bitterly, "She wants to have a child with me, and I actually want to fulfill her wish, but I always feel that it would be irresponsible... We didn't even have a wedding, and I haven't even confessed my feelings to her."
"What do you think I should do?"
Zhang Hao frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you to send people to Jiangcheng to find that [Supersequence Metal] that can increase lifespan? Didn't you find it? The strategist's prophecy said... it should be there."
"I haven't found it. I've mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, and I even went to Jiangcheng myself a few months ago, but there's still no trace of it."
Meng Wu said with a sad look in his eyes, "You said that the [Super Sequence Metal] requires luck? Now it seems that even with the help of a strategist, I am not so lucky at all. Perhaps Christine's fate is predetermined."
Zhang Hao frowned involuntarily.
Although each supersequence metal has its own sequence, each one represents a different meaning.
For example, the initial sequence -89, which can complete the parasitic enhancement of the awakened's body, represents the [physical body].
Sequence -90 can catalyze the transformation of organisms into humans, representing the element of "catalysis".
Sequence 91 enables mental connections between individuals, representing the "spirit".
Sequence 92 represents [Life], which can greatly enhance a person's lifespan without any side effects. However, this super-sequence metal is special, unlike [Sequence-91] which is a solid metal.
It is a kind of "life metal" that can move and has the ability to avoid danger, similar to Hu Xiaonan's [Danger Prediction]. Once it detects that someone is plotting against it, it will immediately run away.
As long as it's unwilling...
No matter how much manpower you use, you still can't find it.
On the contrary, if it wanted to, it would even come to you on its own initiative, which is why it is said that a certain amount of luck is required. It is normal that Meng Wu could not find it, but Christine is getting weaker and weaker.
If she can't find another one, Meng Wu will be widowed.
etc!
Since a certain amount of luck is required.
Why not just let the lucky ones find it?
Ruan Tian, this "Chosen One," is perfectly capable of the job; I'd almost forgotten about him.
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Christine is saved! I'll send Ruan Tian to Jiangcheng City right now. He can definitely help you find the super-sequence metal that represents [Life], and he'll be able to save your wife soon."
