Chapter 251 Discussion
The meal was not as cheerful as usual; instead, the atmosphere at the table gradually became oppressive.
After Han Shuo finished recounting everything, Li Shurou and Chen Hai learned that a terrifying force existed in a city not far from here.
A death army composed of a massive number of zombies and mutants...
And so, everyone silently ate the food in their own bowls.
Han Shuo knew that Li Shurou and Chen Hai were experiencing a lot of emotional turmoil, and that they needed some time to process it all.
Since arriving at the underground research institute, the group has unknowingly come to regard it as a comfortable refuge.
Moreover, in everyone's mind, this shelter has always been an extremely safe place.
But today, they suddenly felt that everything had changed.
They felt that the place was no longer so airtight, as if the breath of death was silently approaching...
And so, the six of them finished the meal with heavy hearts.
Chen Hai got up and began to clean up the mess on the table, while Li Shurou and the other three gathered together to discuss what to do next.
She took a deep breath and asked.
"Since that zombie army is likely heading this way, we must make some preparations in advance."
"That's right, the four of us came back temporarily to discuss this matter."
Han Shuo, with a serious expression, continued speaking.
"First of all, we must inform the director about the situation inside the zombie city. The director knows far more than we do."
"I believe that once the director learns of this news, he will definitely have the means to investigate the whole matter thoroughly."
"If we can confirm with 100% certainty that the zombie legions gathered in the zombie city are heading towards the underground research institute."
"Then we can't stay here any longer!"
After he finished speaking, the fat man exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh? You mean we're going to evacuate from here?"
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Han, is it that serious?" Xiao Zhao asked, his eyes wide.
He believed that the underground research institute was the safest place at present, and if he left now, he would never find a similar refuge outside.
Han Shuo turned and glanced at the two of them before speaking.
"That day in the center of the zombie city, you two also saw that legion of zombies."
“I know there are many hidden trump cards in the underground research institute that we don’t know about, but if the Death Legion attacks, do you two really think this place can hold them off?”
After the voice fell, the fat man and Xiao Zhao remained silent.
They already had a vague answer in their hearts, and they couldn't refute Han Shuo's judgment.
Yes, if all the zombies in the zombie city really march here, and the war between humans and zombies breaks out...
Even if the underground research institute has some trump cards, there are still only about 20,000 people here.
Most of them were ordinary survivors with no combat capabilities.
The number of people actually able to fight, including the guards and free agents, was only about five thousand.
Recalling the scene I witnessed in the zombie city that day.
Putting aside the mutant species, the number of ordinary zombies they saw alone was definitely in the hundreds of thousands.
This does not include the zombies that subsequently gathered from outside the city.
Keep in mind that at the time, zombies filled all the surrounding streets, pushing and shoving their way toward the city center.
The truly terrifying thing is the sheer number of people who subsequently entered the city…
If all the zombies in the current zombie city are added together, Fatty and Xiao Zhao conservatively estimate that the total number should reach several million.
Five thousand people against millions of zombies?
This is an absolute crushing victory in terms of sheer numbers.
Even if you filled all five thousand people with gun barrels, you probably still wouldn't be able to clear them all out...
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but shudder and dared not think any further.
Because there are just so many different kinds of mutants and those giant zombies...
Although the underground research institute is located underground, can it really be completely safe underground?
If you're willing to put in the effort, with so many zombies digging with their claws, they'll eventually dig through this place.
This assumption is not without basis.
After all, they are now almost certain that in the heart of the zombie city, there is a mysterious, unknown creature that can control the actions of these zombies!
...
Seeing the two looking listless, Han Shuo couldn't bear to say anything more discouraging.
He waved his hand and offered a few words of comfort with a smile.
"Alright, alright, you two don't need to be so pessimistic right now. We haven't confirmed for sure yet that the Death Legion is heading this way."
"What if the mysterious creature in the city center doesn't even know about this place, and doesn't intend to control zombies to attack here?"
"Maybe we're overthinking it. That possibility does exist, don't you two think?"
Han Shuo's two sentences clearly had no effect.
The fat man frowned and spoke.
"You don't need to comfort me. I know what I'm doing. Just go with your decision. I have no objections."
Xiao Zhao still looked listless. He crossed his legs on the sofa and said weakly.
"I want to be alone..."
...
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile and ignored the two of them.
At this moment, Li Shurou became the second person here to remain calm.
She hadn't witnessed the scene firsthand, so she couldn't truly grasp the oppressive feeling emanating from the Legion of Death.
"Han Shuo, so according to you, you're going to go see the director in person?"
"The director rarely has time to meet outsiders. If you need, I can help you with an introduction."
Han Shuo nodded; he did indeed need to deliver this message to the director as soon as possible.
Upon seeing this, Li Shurou quickly stood up from her chair.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly walked towards the door.
"Shurou, wait a minute!"
At that moment, Han Shuo suddenly called out to her.
Li Shurou stopped and turned around, asking in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Han Shuo thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Hmm... You can come back first. There's no need to arrange for me to meet with the director yet."
He looked at Xiao Zhao and continued.
"Okay, Xiao Zhao, go to Brother Qingyu's place first. If he comes back from outside, please ask him to come over."
Han Shuo felt it would be better for Qing Yu to relay this matter to the director.
After all, he was just a free man here. Although he was doing well, he was probably just an unknown nobody in the eyes of the director.
Qingyu had been here for quite some time and was quite famous within the entire guard team.
If he relays the message, the director will likely take it more seriously.
In this way, the results fed back to them will be more accurate.
