Chapter 258 Conversation with the Director
Han Shuo had already roughly guessed what it was about, and without the slightest hesitation, he responded.
"Okay, please wait a moment while I go say hello to my friend."
"good!"
The staff member nodded and stood quietly waiting in front of the door.
Han Shuo quickly walked back into the living room, putting on his coat as he spoke.
"The director sent someone to call me over, I'll go first."
The people on the sofa perked up and quickly asked.
"Could it be that things have come to a conclusion regarding our matter?"
"It should be related to this matter, but I'll have to wait until I see the director to find out the specifics. You all stay here and wait for me to return!"
After Han Shuo finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the room without waiting for the fat man and the others to respond.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go."
"good!"
The staff member's attitude was lukewarm, and they led Han Shuo toward the director.
...
A few minutes later, Han Shuo arrived at the director's office.
"Knock knock knock!" A knocking sound rang out.
"Come in," came Yue Zongyang's deep voice from inside.
The staff member opened the door and led Han Shuo inside.
"Chief, the person has been brought."
"Okay, I understand. You can go out now."
"yes!"
After the staff left, only Han Shuo and Yue Zongyang remained in the room.
This was Han Shuo's first time meeting Yue Zongyang. Looking at the middle-aged man sitting in the chair, who exuded an air of authority without anger, he didn't feel much emotion.
In Han Shuo's eyes, Yue Zongyang was the most authoritative person in the underground research institute.
However, I am not his subordinate.
At this moment, Han Shuo only treated Yue Zongyang as a special elder.
He naturally couldn't be impolite when facing his elders.
He bowed respectfully and spoke first in a polite manner.
"Chief, you wanted to see me?"
"Han Shuo?"
Yue Zongyang asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Han Shuo replied calmly.
Yue Zongyang stood up from his chair and walked forward.
Just now, while Han Shuo was sizing him up, he was naturally also sizing up Han Shuo.
Previously, Steward Wang had mentioned this person to him more than once.
Moreover, he had seen Han Shuo in the footage when he last used satellite to monitor the giant alien creature whose belly could explode.
Today, when Han Shuo stood before him for the first time, Yue Zongyang immediately noticed the man's special qualities.
He thought to himself.
"Hmm...this young man is quite composed, not like someone his age."
This was Han Shuo's first impression of him.
Although the two only exchanged a brief glance, Yue Zongyang firmly believed that he had not made a mistake in his assessment.
Because this is something that ordinary people cannot deliberately imitate.
His vision and ability to judge people are extraordinary.
...
Yue Zongyang walked to the tea table and began to speak as he brewed tea.
"Don't be shy, come and sit down."
"yes!"
Han Shuo wasn't too rigid; he walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
"Did you leak the information about the zombie city to Qingyu?"
Yue Zongyang got straight to the point.
Han Shuo didn't mince words and responded truthfully.
"It was the director. The news is true; I saw it with my own eyes."
Yue Zongyang glanced thoughtfully at Han Shuo, but instead of asking any further questions, he took out two teacups and prepared to make tea.
Han Shuo first informed Qing Yu of the message, and then asked Qing Yu to relay it to him. Yue Zongyang naturally noticed this detail easily.
He spoke with a smile.
"Yes, that's right, that's right. Your information is indeed very important. I've already sent Wang Zhen to investigate."
"Steward Wang went in person?"
Han Shuo asked, somewhat surprised.
He had already guessed that Yue Zongyang would send people to investigate again after learning the news, but he did not expect that it would be the highest combat power here that went in person.
Just as he had thought that day, the fact that the message was delivered by Qingyu indeed drew Yue Zongyang's attention even more.
...
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
By this time, the water had boiled.
Yue Zongyang picked up the kettle and began to wash the tea.
He smiled and continued.
"Yes, Wang Zhen set off last night. He should be back today if things go smoothly, or he should be back by tomorrow if things go slowly."
Although Han Shuo had only met Steward Wang a few times, he admired him greatly.
He had personally experienced the oppressive feeling emanating from that legion of death in the zombie city...
He couldn't help but feel a little worried and asked.
"Chief, is...is Steward Wang in danger?"
"Sigh, there's always danger."
Yue Zongyang sighed, washed the tea, and continued speaking.
"But there's no one more suitable, is there?"
"After all, you only glanced at it from afar. Although you successfully brought the message back, it was far from enough."
"I need to know the exact strength of that death legion before I can make any further arrangements."
Han Shuo nodded without saying anything, indicating his understanding.
"I know you're smart, and it's easier to deal with smart people."
"I have to say, the matter of the zombie city is indeed very important to me."
“I have always been fair in rewarding and punishing. Since you were the one who brought back the initial news, I will naturally do something to show my appreciation.”
"The reason I called you here today is precisely because of this matter."
Yue Zongyang brewed the tea, smiled, and handed the teacup to Han Shuo before continuing.
"Have some tea first, and then tell me what reward you want."
Upon hearing this, Han Shuo was overjoyed, but he did not show it on his face.
"Thanks!"
He picked up the teacup, blew on it to cool it a couple of times, and then took a small sip.
Han Shuo made no pretentious comments about the tea.
He didn't know anything about tea and didn't have the habit of drinking it.
In his eyes, this stuff was only slightly better than water; he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.
Han Shuo put down his teacup and got straight to the point.
"Director, I would like to obtain a few pieces of information from you."
"oh?"
Yue Zongyang looked at Han Shuo with a smile.
This answer surprised him.
He had assumed that this clever young man would maximize the benefits of the reward.
For example, asking oneself for food, supplies, etc.
Or perhaps, an even more precious turbid liquid, to enhance their team's strength.
Yue Zongyang hadn't expected that Han Shuo only wanted a few answers from him.
He looked at Han Shuo with great interest.
Unbeknownst to him, his evaluation of Han Shuo had risen once again.
Because only short-sighted people focus on immediate gains.
The importance of information remains unchanged even in the apocalypse.
Only those who can see this can utilize advanced information to obtain more valuable things.
...
"In retrospect, we underestimated this young man after all."
Yue Zongyang thought to himself, then spoke with a smile.
"I can answer three questions for you. Go ahead and ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo became completely serious.
With a determined look in his eyes, he voiced the question that had been troubling him most for the past two days.
"I want to know! Will that legion of the dead from the zombie city attack this place?"
