Chapter 140 The Voice from the Communicator
Manager Wang ran straight into the innermost building.
Only one person lives in this house: the director of the research institute.
Pushing open the door, Manager Wang called out anxiously inside.
"Chief, Chief, that guy has appeared!"
"What?"
A voice came from the room, and soon a middle-aged man strode out of the room.
This person is the director of the research institute; he is the most powerful person here.
The director was around 50 years old. He had a very good physique and, despite his age, looked incredibly energetic.
The director always seemed to possess an aura of authority that commanded respect without being angry.
"Wang Zhen, say it again."
The director wanted to confirm this again with Steward Wang.
Steward Wang quickly replied.
"Chief, just ten minutes ago, our satellite detected that guy's location."
Having received a clear response from Steward Wang, the director did not speak, but turned and walked straight into the living room.
He then turned on the screen in the living room and started tapping away.
Soon, a video recording began to play.
The video was transmitted from a satellite. The entire video is very short, only about 10 seconds long, and the scene in the video is the moment when the zombie king briefly appeared.
"No wonder, no wonder..."
"No wonder we couldn't find the Zombie King. It turns out he was hiding inside the giant zombie's body."
The director frowned and muttered to himself.
"Chief, what do you say? Should we launch missiles towards the location of the zombie king?"
Steward Wang asked from the side.
It turns out that the two of them had known about the existence of the Zombie King all along.
The director was silent for a moment after what the steward said, but soon he gave a reply.
"Hmm... never mind, the video was sent more than 10 minutes ago. I believe the Zombie King knows we've been looking for him, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden inside the giant zombie's body. Even if we launch missiles now, he'll probably have already left from his previous location."
"So we're just going to give up like this? After all, we've been searching for so long." Manager Wang was somewhat unwilling.
"Sigh, that's all we can do. At least we've confirmed that the Zombie King is still alive, so it's not a complete loss. You know how cunning that guy is; he won't stay in one place for long. The delay in satellite surveillance feedback was enough for him to escape."
The director sighed and continued.
"Launching such a large weapon rashly would cause too much of a stir and unnecessary panic. Moreover, the radiation from the explosion would accelerate the mutation of zombies, as you know."
Manager Wang remained silent; the director was considering matters that required a longer-term perspective.
"Ultimately, the responsibility for this matter lies entirely with me. If I hadn't been so impatient, none of this would have happened..."
The director said something meaningful, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Steward Wang.
"Director, let's not bring up the past anymore. After all, that wasn't your original intention."
"well."
The director sighed deeply, his expression unreadable.
At this moment, the video recording on the screen was playing in a loop. Suddenly, the director paused the recording and zoomed in on the paused image.
"How come this giant zombie is so badly injured? The wounds look like they were from a firearms attack. Who did this?"
Manager Wang quickly took a closer look, then said with a wry smile.
"I don't know. Our satellite surveillance system only automatically locks onto newly emerging alien species and zombie kings; it doesn't monitor other survivors."
"Alright, alright. Two more of these large mutant species have appeared recently. Try to find an opportunity to eliminate some of them later."
"Remember not to push yourself too hard. You are the strongest fighter here, so your own safety is more important."
"Okay, I'll try it when I'm less busy."
After thinking for a moment, the director continued, "By the way, Wang Zhen, your younger brother is about to leave, right? Although he is also very strong, he is still not as strong as you. There are still certain risks for Level 4 gene humans to go out now. Are you sure you don't want to go see him?"
After the director finished speaking, Steward Wang frowned, somewhat displeased, but still responded respectfully.
"No, I don't want a brother like him!"
"Sigh, you're kind to everyone, but you neglect your own brother. Try to think more positively. After all, it's the end of the world, and it's not easy to still have family..."
After hearing this, Steward Wang fell silent and remained silent for a long time.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about things that upset you anymore. You can go back now, I have some other things to do."
"yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Wang turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, how's the collection of the turbid liquid going lately?" the director asked again.
"I've put all the newly added turbid liquid inventory into the system these past few days."
After Chief Steward Wang finished speaking, the director tapped the screen a few more times, and soon the reserve of turbid liquid was retrieved.
The director shook his head and muttered to himself.
"Sigh, it's still far from enough, far too far."
...
...
On the other side, beside a cliff outside the forest.
The fat man was still sobbing. After an unknown amount of time, Li Shurou slowly opened her eyes while lying on the ground.
She didn't have any serious injuries; the impact she received just now was so strong that it made her dizzy.
Hearing the fat man's cries, Li Shurou endured her headache and slowly got up from the ground.
"Fatty, what's wrong? Are you alright? Where's the giant zombie?"
She had been in a semi-conscious state, so she wasn't quite aware of what happened next.
Upon hearing the sound, the fat man slowly raised his head, his face filled with immense sorrow and exhaustion.
After crying for so long, the fat man's voice was a little hoarse, and he choked up as he spoke.
"Shu, Shurou, the giant zombie is gone, we're safe, but... but his body has vanished without a trace..."
"What!?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Shurou quickly looked down and saw the exploded truck.
"Han Shuo is dead?"
She couldn't believe her eyes, so she reached out and wiped and rubbed them repeatedly.
However, the facts were right in front of her. She knew very well that the truck was the one Han Shuo was driving.
Moreover, she also saw a Tang sword not far from the explosion.
Li Shurou knew that Han Shuo never parted with his Tang sword...
Tears welled up instantly, and she couldn't hold back anymore. She collapsed to the ground and cried along with the fat man.
The two cried for an unknown amount of time, then suddenly!
A very weak voice came through the communicator in my ear.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
"Cough, cough... You two, hurry up and come over here to save me."
"If I keep crying, I'm really going to die."
After the sound, the two stopped crying instantly.
The fat man and Li Shurou both raised their heads, looking at each other in disbelief through teary eyes.
