I stared at him, gave a cold laugh, and said, "Do you think you can survive now?"
Zhang Jianzhou was stunned, seemingly not expecting this, and said in a flustered manner, "You won't kill me, I'm still useful to you."
I raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then tell me, what use are you to me? You don't need to take your medicine anymore, and you don't want to take me to the research institute. Do you think you're still of any use to me? I could just kill you and be done with it."
Zhang Jianzhou panicked, but to project confidence, he hid his panic in his eyes. His expression, however, became calm, and he said, "I can take you to the research institute."
I smiled and said, "But I'm not looking for the research institute, I'm looking for Pu Weichao. Can you help me find Pu Weichao?"
From the very beginning, my purpose in keeping Zhang Jianzhou alive was to find Pu Weichao. As for the research institute, it was just a stepping stone. After all, Pu Weichao had been to this research institute before, and if we could find the research institute, we might be able to find some clues about Pu Weichao.
However, this is not absolute; it's possible that even after finding the research institute, there might be no news of Pu Weichao at all.
Therefore, the research institute is not something I necessarily need to look for. Moreover, judging from the information Zhang Jianzhou gave me before, the situation inside the research institute is very complicated. If I go there rashly and get caught by them, I might be used for experiments. I don't want to encounter such a situation.
It's best to avoid contact with this research institute if possible. I'm not stupid. A research institute that can still exist today must be supported by a huge force. Otherwise, how could it continue to exist?
As for Zhang Jianzhou in front of me, to be honest, I no longer trust him.
Zhang Jianzhou swallowed hard, seemingly afraid, and said, "I can help you find Pu Weichao!"
Hearing this, I laughed and said, "You don't even know where he is, yet you say you can help me find him. Do you think that's realistic?"
Zhang Jianzhou stared at me and said, "I'm not lying to you, I really can help you find him."
I shook my head and said, "I don't believe you."
Zhang Jianzhou hurriedly said, "I'm telling the truth. I really can help you find him. I'm not lying to you."
I squinted and said, "Alright, tell me, how will you help me find him? I want to hear the details."
Zhang Jianzhou opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.
"I'll give you three more seconds."
"Wait, wait, I'll tell you right away, let me think about it."
I scoffed. His words were rather absurd. Think about it? If he really knew, he wouldn't need to think about it; he could just tell me directly instead of wasting time here.
I drew a dagger from my waist.
When Zhang Jianzhou saw the knife in my hand, he panicked and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you right now, it's true, it's true that we can use satellite positioning to find Pu Weichao!"
I frowned and sneered, "Are you kidding me?"
Satellite positioning? This guy seems to be out of ideas, even coming up with such a ridiculous idea. Does he really think I'm stupid?
The whole world is in this terrible state now, and there's still this thing called satellite positioning?
Seeing my unfriendly expression, Zhang Jianzhou hurriedly said, "I'm not lying to you, really, really, I'm not lying to you! I saw it in that research institute. They really do have a satellite positioning system there. As long as you have coordinates they've placed inside your body, you can basically be located by them! They've placed coordinates inside my body, so they can find me anytime."
I stood up from the bed, knife in hand, and glared at her coldly. "Do you think anyone can believe something like that? Do you even believe it yourself?"
Zhang Jianzhou nodded and said, "I believe you! Of course I believe you, because the coordinates they put in my body are inside me! No, no, no, don't do it, let me explain. Lu Xiaonan, please, listen to my explanation. If you still don't believe me after I've explained, I won't kill you, I'll just kill myself in front of you!"
I put down the knife in my hand and looked at Zhang Jianzhou with interest, saying, "Fine, explain yourself. If your explanation doesn't satisfy me, I will still kill you."
Zhang Jianzhou looked at me, swallowed hard, and said, "There are indeed coordinates they placed inside my body. I really didn't lie to you about this. I didn't tell you before because I knew you would definitely kill me, so I didn't trust you. Now I hope that after I finish telling you, you won't kill me."
"Actually, this is related to the delivery of medicine. I have coordinates in my body, so they can use satellite positioning based on these coordinates to accurately locate me, control me, and deliver the medicine to me. They actually delivered me here the day before yesterday, but I don't need to take the medicine anymore, so that's why I attacked you."
I stared at him and asked, "Is that all the explanation you have?"
Zhang Jianzhou shook his head and said, "There's one more thing. After you hear this, you'll definitely believe me."
I didn't say anything, and waited for him to continue.
Zhang Jianzhou glanced at the pitch-black night outside the window and said, "Actually, there is someone in Jiajiang City who is being monitored and controlled by that research institute, just like me. If you can find that person and ask them, you will definitely get the same answer as me."
To be honest, I still don't believe Zhang Jianzhou's nonsense. He's just trying to stall for time.
I don't know why he's spouting this nonsense, but it's clear this guy is trying everything to survive.
I asked, "Okay, tell me, who is that person in Jiajiang City? What's his name?"
Zhang Jianzhou said, "You might not believe it, but his name is the same as mine, but his surname is Zhong, and his name is Zhong Jianzhou. To be honest, I was the one who captured this guy. But later, the people from the research institute took him away from Tiande Pharmaceutical after they saw him. After I was arrested and taken to that research institute, I saw him a few times, but we didn't talk much. Later, I learned that he came to Jiajiang City, but I don't know exactly where."
The moment I heard the name Zhong Jianzhou, I instantly recalled what happened back in Hangzhou.
Zhong Jianzhou!
The father of this little girl, Zhong Linyun!
Back in Hangzhou, wasn't he captured by two soldiers? If what Zhang Jianzhou said is true, then Zhong Jianzhou is very likely in Jiajiang City.
However, I was a little surprised. Zhong Jianzhou was bitten by a zombie when he was captured, but he actually survived.
