Chapter 434 Verification Completed
Nothing happened overnight. The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Han Shuo came out of the cabin.
He inspected the zombies in the truck bed.
Perhaps because it had escaped the control of the Corpse-Clad Man, this zombie could still smell the human flesh on him and became extremely violent.
He didn't pay much attention to it, simply tying the other end of the rope to the truck bed to make sure it couldn't run away.
Not long after, the fat man, still half asleep, pushed open the door of the cabin.
He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and shouted.
"Are we about to set off?"
"Okay, you can get in the car now and clear your head. I'll drive first."
Han Shuo casually replied, went back into the cabin to pack his luggage, and then started the truck.
And so, the two embarked on their return journey.
...
Along the way, Han Shuo saw that the fat man had almost woken up, so he switched places with him halfway through the journey.
Because he had been on guard duty for the latter half of last night, he was feeling a bit sleepy at this moment.
When he woke up again, it was almost noon.
"Fatty, where are we?"
"Oh, you're awake. We're more than halfway there. We should arrive in about two hours."
Han Shuo nodded, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and drank it all in one gulp.
The two ate a simple lunch in the car without stopping along the way.
The fat man, driving with nothing to do, turned around and asked.
"By the way, although we haven't dissected the zombies yet, we can almost confirm that what the silver-haired guy said is true. What do you plan to do when we get back?"
"What else can we do but let them go?"
Han Shuo replied directly that he had already thought about this question before.
"Huh? Aren't you afraid they'll retaliate? After all, you beat them both up and locked them up for two days..."
"What's there to be afraid of? They can't beat us. Besides, this should really just be a misunderstanding. If Shurou really finds nanobots inside this zombie, I will apologize to her."
He paused here, thought for a moment, and then continued.
"Besides, I feel that although the silver-haired guy is a cyborg, he's not a bad one. He should understand our cautious attitude."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man nodded in agreement.
Indeed, he had a pretty good impression of the silver-haired man. The root cause of this was that neither of them was honest with each other from the beginning.
If both parties had been honest and open with each other from the beginning, the misunderstandings probably wouldn't have occurred.
However, in the apocalypse, who would easily reveal all their secrets to another?
Doing so would be nothing short of foolish.
The fat man also believed that the silver-haired cyborg was a cyborg with a broad perspective and wouldn't establish an enemy relationship with them over such a trivial matter...
...
After that, the two stopped discussing the matter and started chatting idly.
Before we knew it, it was around 2 p.m.
With a joyful shout from the fat man, the truck came to a stop.
Because they had safely arrived at the encampment where Cheng Shenghong and the others were staying.
...
At the same time, the people inside the house heard the roar of the truck and quickly ran out.
Xiao Zhao was the first to come forward, shouting happily.
"Brother Han, Brother Pang, you two are back? Did anything happen on the way?"
"No, don't worry, everything went smoothly."
Han Shuo smiled and waved, greeted everyone, and then turned around to pull the captured zombie out of the truck bed.
"Shurou, I'm leaving it to you. Take care of it as soon as possible and let us know the results."
"no problem."
Li Shurou casually replied, then stepped forward and took the zombie from Han Shuo's hands.
The next moment, she grabbed one foot and dragged the zombie along the ground into the house.
"How rude..."
The fat man smacked his lips and glanced at the drag marks on the ground with interest.
...
At this moment, Han Shuo saw Cheng Shenghong come up and asked.
"Brother Demon Man, is there any problem with the silver-haired guy?"
Cheng Shenghong said with a smile, "Brother Han, don't worry, everything is fine. However, I noticed that they didn't look too good this morning. They might be a little unhappy about being imprisoned by us."
"Alright, let's keep them locked up for a while longer. We'll release them once Shurou has given us some information."
After Han Shuo finished speaking, he and the others went into the house.
Next, Xiao Zhao and the others surrounded the two in the living room, bombarding them with questions about what had happened over the past two days.
"Brother Han, are there really corpse-wearing people?"
"Captain Han, did you and Fatty see those corpse-covered men?"
"So? How fierce are they? Do they have a lot of zombies under their command?"
...
Han Shuo smiled and patiently recounted the events of yesterday to everyone.
Everyone was genuinely surprised to hear that the two had completed the mission so easily.
As for the fact that he and the fat guy secretly ate roasted rabbit meat last night, he didn't mention it at all...
After all, in his view, this was not a very honorable thing.
The two of them satisfied their cravings, and that was enough for them; there was no need to boast about it further.
And so, everyone chatted idly in the living room for a while longer.
An hour later, Li Shurou got the results.
...
"Everyone come and take a look. There really are nanobots inside the zombie we brought back."
As soon as the voice fell, Han Shuo quickly got up and followed Li Shurou to a microscope.
He peered closer and, sure enough, he saw many tiny robots, densely packed like spiders, on the lens below.
At this moment, Li Shurou continued to explain to him from the side.
"These are just what I found at one bone joint after dissecting the zombie. There should be many more in other parts."
"It's estimated that these nanobots are controlling the zombies' actions, but they may have gone out of control and are now offline."
Han Shuo looked away, nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked again.
"Have you tested the materials used in these nanorobots?"
Li Shurou replied immediately.
"It has been tested. The material is unknown, but it is not very sturdy. It can be destroyed by manpower and tools."
"It's just that it's too tiny to be seen with the naked eye."
After hearing this, Han Shuo fell into deep thought.
"Hmm... can human intervention be compromised?"
He seemed to have guessed why there were no alien species among those zombie hordes.
It's likely that most of the mutant species possess greater strength and speed than ordinary zombies.
These nanobots, when combined, can force zombies to move, but they cannot restrain the much more powerful alien species...
However, Han Shuo did not delve too deeply into this issue.
By this time, he had personally verified that the zombies he brought back did indeed contain nanobots.
This also means that what the silver-haired man said was true.
He really misunderstood them...
