Chapter 265 The four set off again
Looking at Steward Wang's resolute face, Yue Zongyang, who was usually quite composed, was now somewhat flustered.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he nodded, agreeing to Steward Wang's current request.
"Wang Zhen, you speak!"
Manager Wang forced a grim smile, and with his stubborn determination, he compelled Yue Zongyang to tell him the number of alien species he had counted in the zombie city.
He spoke slowly, but explained things in great detail.
During the conversation, he clearly stated the number of each type of alien species, pausing carefully before each word.
Yue Zongyang nodded repeatedly in response, and deeply imprinted all of Wang Zhen's words into his mind.
As Steward Wang finished speaking his last sentence, Yue Zongyang could no longer contain his shock and exclaimed in surprise.
"What? Wang Zhen, you mean Number 1 saved you? Number 1 is still alive?"
Manager Wang did not respond to this statement.
After telling Yue Zongyang everything, he fell into a coma.
...
Yue Zongyang had to suppress his shock for the time being, and he shouted anxiously.
"Wang Zhen! Wang Zhen!"
He checked Wang Zhen's breathing and, seeing that Wang Zhen was only unconscious, shouted towards the door again.
"Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor? Why isn't he here yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of medical staff in white coats finally rushed over from outside carrying a stretcher.
Yue Zongyang lifted Wang Zhen with both hands and laid him flat on the stretcher, then gave stern instructions.
"Quickly! Take Steward Wang to the medical room and treat him with the most effective methods!"
"Yes, Chief! I will do my best to treat Chief Steward Wang."
One of the leading male doctors responded respectfully.
Li Shurou was also among the crowd; her medical skills were quite good here.
She had just finished arranging the turbid fluid modification for Xiao Zhao when she was forcibly dragged over.
Seeing Manager Wang's appearance, and knowing that she already knew about the zombie city, Li Shurou cleverly connected the dots and figured out the reason for the whole thing.
"Just how terrifying was that Death Legion that even Steward Wang almost didn't make it back?"
She muttered to herself, and without thinking further, followed the other medical staff out of the room.
...
After everyone left, Yue Zongyang's face grew increasingly gloomy.
He strode into his room, his mind racing as he quickly listed out combat strength comparison data on the screen.
He even modified the zombie king's combat strength information.
Looking at all the results, Yue Zongyang's face turned completely dark.
"My win rate dropped from 60% to 20%. The strength of Zombie City is far more terrifying than I imagined!"
Then, he recalled the last words that Steward Wang had said before he fell into a coma.
"Number 1 is still alive? And he was able to rescue Wang Zhen from the Zombie King's clutches, so he must have strength no less than the Zombie King's!"
"Based on this, it's almost certain that Number 1 truly reached the pinnacle of evolution back then!"
After pondering this point, Yue Zongyang did not hesitate at all and listed another piece of data on the screen.
Upon seeing the results, a rare look of joy appeared on his face.
"If we add the combat power of number 1 into it, the 20% win rate actually becomes 70%, which is 10% higher than before."
However, this joy quickly turned into a sigh.
"Sigh, although Number 1 has reappeared, since he didn't escort Wang Zhen back, it seems he really doesn't want to go back to the underground research institute."
"What happened back then left him with very deep wounds..."
Thinking of this, Yue Zongyang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately waved his hand to erase the data at the end.
The underground research institute's chances of winning have dropped back to 20%.
And so, Yue Zongyang stared quietly at the screen.
After an unknown amount of time, he turned off the screen, got up, walked to the corner of the room, pushed open the cabinet, and opened a hidden door.
"Perhaps, things will turn around even without relying on Number 1!"
He muttered something to himself, and Yue Zongyang's eyes instantly sharpened.
Then, he stepped into the hidden door, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness...
...
At night, Han Shuo was asleep when he suddenly heard a noise.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the lights on the roof were turned on.
The sudden bright light made Han Shuo's eyes uncomfortable.
He squinted slightly, and vaguely made out the figure at the doorway.
"Oh, Shurou, what brings you here so late?"
Li Shurou looked tired; he had worked with the medical staff for most of the night to stabilize Manager Wang's condition.
"Yes, I just got back temporarily, and I have something to tell you."
Han Shuo had gradually adjusted to the light in the room. He nodded, got up, put on a coat, and climbed out of bed.
"Shurou, you speak."
He was also curious about what important matter could have woken him up in the middle of the night.
Li Shurou kept it brief and told Han Shuo directly about how Steward Wang was seriously injured that night.
After she finished speaking, she turned and left the room without waiting for Han Shuo's reply, closing the door behind her.
She hadn't rested for over 20 hours, she was practically working herself to the bone, and she couldn't resist her drowsiness any longer.
...
After she left, Han Shuo found himself unable to sleep, feeling quite energetic.
Frowning, Han Shuo began to think about Steward Wang's matter.
"Manager Wang can already easily kill giant mutants. The fact that he almost died in the zombie city means there's only one explanation."
"That means he encountered the Zombie King!"
Han Shuo couldn't imagine the zombie king's strength, but based on Li Shurou's news, he secretly lowered the underground research institute's chances of winning by another 20%.
"A 20% chance of winning? That's not a good sign..."
"The operation tomorrow morning must be completed successfully. We must evacuate from here in a week!"
...
The next morning, Chen Hai prepared breakfast for everyone.
Li Shurou grabbed a few steamed buns and headed straight to her workplace to continue her research on the turbid liquid.
Looking at the four young men wolfing down their food at the table, Chen Hai couldn't help but feel worried.
"The children have only been back for two days, and they're already going to step into the hell on earth again."
"You must all come back safe and sound. Uncle Hai wants to cook for you all from now on..."
After breakfast, Han Shuo seemed to sense the worry in Chen Hai's heart.
He walked over and gave Chen Hai a big hug, saying with a smile.
"Uncle Hai, don't worry, we'll be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, he wasted no more time, waved to the back of his head, and called out.
"Brothers! Grab your tools and let's go!"
"Uncle Hai, I want to eat braised pork when I get back."
"Uncle Hai, let's go!"
"They're gone, they're gone."
After saying goodbye, the four stepped outside.
Chen Hai gazed in the direction the four had left, and tears streamed down his face.
Every time, he would watch everyone leave from this spot.
Because Han Shuo never allowed him to see him out the door...
