Chapter 175 Steward Wang Returns
For the next two days, Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao showed no signs of turning into zombies.
It seems that the inhibitor developed by Director Yue Zongyang is indeed effective.
With the two people's personal experiment, everyone could then get injured without restraint.
No, we should be more cautious, since no one seems to have this inclination.
Although there's no need to worry about infection, wounds still need time to heal after an injury.
Taking any action during the recovery period will involve many more uncontrollable factors.
Therefore, Han Shuo decided to return to the pharmaceutical processing plant only when his wounds had almost fully healed and he was able to fight normally.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Zhao's arm wound had long since scabbed over, and Han Shuo's injury was also healing rapidly.
...
Meanwhile, while Han Shuo and the others were temporarily resting at the farmhouse.
A burly figure stood at the entrance of the underground research institute.
It's Steward Wang.
A few seconds later, the entrance passage slowly opened.
Manager Wang walked in with a smile on his face.
It turned out that he had come outside early the day after receiving the inhibitor.
Of course, this was because Yue Zongyang had assigned him a new task.
Meanwhile, after several days, he had successfully completed his mission outside.
After returning to the underground research institute, Chief Steward Wang went straight to the innermost part.
During this time, he greeted everyone with a smile. A few minutes later, he arrived at a door with five large characters written on it:
Director's office.
"Knock, knock, knock." A knocking sound rang out on the door.
"Come in," came Yue Zongyang's voice from inside.
The door was pushed open, and Yue Zongyang looked up, then stood up and said with a smile.
"Wang Zhen, you're back?"
"Yes, Director, I'm back."
Steward Wang nodded and responded respectfully.
Then, the two got straight to the point.
"The mission is complete?"
"It's done."
"How are you? Are you hurt?"
"Chief, I'm fine, but there were some troubles along the way, which took a little longer than usual."
"It's alright, it's good that everyone is safe."
As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Wang took out a bottle from his pocket and respectfully handed it over.
The bottle was filled with turbid liquid, and there were nearly 200 drops of it!
"Director, according to the data, all the giant mutants within a 500-kilometer radius have been eliminated. There were seven in total. In addition to these, I also hunted down more than a dozen ordinary mutants. This is the turbid liquid I obtained."
Yue Zongyang seemed completely unsurprised, and took the bottle, placing it on the table.
"Yes, well done, thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing, Director. It's what I should do."
After thinking for a moment, Steward Wang continued.
"Director, have any new giant mutant species been born while I was away?"
"Yes, shortly after you left, I also dispatched two escort teams to surround and kill you, led by two genetically evolved humans at level 3. However..."
Yue Zongyang paused for a moment, then turned and walked to the screen.
"Wang Zhen, come here and take a look at the transmitted video."
Manager Wang seemed to have guessed something; his expression turned serious as he carefully watched the video.
The two guard teams in the video were the same ones Han Shuo had encountered that day.
The video begins with the guards surrounding and defeating the giant alien creature; the footage is very clear and comprehensive.
One minute later, the giant alien was dead, and the entire guard was wiped out.
Upon seeing this, Steward Wang clenched his fists. His heart ached; 20 people had died so quietly.
To his surprise, the giant alien's belly burst open, revealing a corrosive liquid inside.
This had never happened with the animals he had hunted before.
However, Manager Wang didn't say a word because the video was still playing.
Soon Han Shuo and Fatty appeared on the screen. The middle part of the video was quite long, showing the two burying the body. Yue Zongyang sped up the video playback.
Finally, the scene freezes on the moment Han Shuo collects the turbid liquid and turns to leave.
Upon seeing the two of them, Steward Wang let out a soft exclamation.
"Huh? It's these two little guys."
Yue Zongyang turned his head, somewhat puzzled.
"Two free agents. I've looked at their files. They're both Level 1 evolved genetic humans. And there's another one in their team. Currently, their overall team strength is no less than that of the guard team."
"What? You know him?"
Manager Wang nodded.
"Yes, I've met them a few times. They're two very interesting little guys."
"Indeed, they have great potential to grow to this level on their own."
Yue Zongyang continued.
"Although the giant alien was killed, it's a pity that both escort teams were wiped out. Fortunately, those two little guys managed to get the 20 drops of turbid liquid."
After saying this, Steward Wang hesitated for a moment.
"Um, Director, these 20 drops of turbid liquid..."
Yue Zongyang glanced at him thoughtfully, immediately guessing the meaning behind his words, and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, they are free people. I set the rules here, and I certainly won't break them."
"Since they've obtained the turbid liquid, it's theirs. I won't force them to hand it over."
Manager Wang smiled awkwardly and touched his bald head.
"Haha, Wang Zhen, when are you going to change your personality? Think more about yourself and stop always thinking about others."
"Chief, I feel like I'm doing fine as I am..."
The two didn't chat much with Han Shuo and the others.
Manager Wang then brought up the important matter.
"Chief, I think we shouldn't assign these kinds of encirclement and suppression missions to the guard team."
"Yes, I didn't think this through. I originally thought that with two genetically evolved humans at level 3 and various weapons, they could complete the task smoothly."
"But we never expected that there would be a corrosive liquid inside the belly of this giant alien species."
As Yue Zongyang spoke, a look of self-reproach appeared on his face.
"Director, it's not your fault. After all, we need time to collect information on many new types of alien species."
"Alas, this catastrophe came too suddenly."
At this moment, Steward Wang spoke seriously.
"Director, please leave the task of clearing out the giant alien species to me from now on."
"Alright, that's all we can do for now. But you've been stuck at level 5 evolution for too long, and many of the mutants are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. I'm a little worried about this going on. It's time for you to continue improving."
As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Wang hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.
"No need. Didn't you say, Director? We still have a lot of turbid fluid to save. Every little bit helps."
Yue Zongyang threw the bottle on the table back into Steward Wang's hands and said sternly.
"It doesn't matter if you modify this little bit of turbid liquid. Although you are strong, with your current strength, if the zombie king finds you, you won't even have a chance to escape."
"Only after completing the sixth transformation will you have some ability to protect yourself when facing the Zombie King. If you want to continue protecting humanity, do as I say."
"Furthermore, Wang Zhen, I'm not discussing this with you; this is an order!"
After saying this, Steward Wang lowered his head.
"Yes, Chief!"
Seeing that Steward Wang had agreed, Yue Zongyang's expression was no longer serious, but he still exuded an aura of authority without anger.
He sighed and shook his head.
"Alas, although level 6 evolution is very strong, it's just a pity that this is already the limit your body can withstand."
"I know, that's enough!"
"Alright, have someone purify the turbid liquid and go quickly."
"yes!"
...
Unbeknownst to Han Shuo and the others, Steward Wang had already advanced to become a level 6 evolved human.
