Chapter 763 Mysterious Research Institute
It's almost May now, and the weather has warmed up completely. We don't need to wear thick coats anymore. Every morning when I wake up and look at the sunlight outside, I feel a little dazed. We've completely adapted to this kind of life now, and I've forgotten what it used to be like.
Back when the world was still a good place, many people thought that once we lost the internet and mobile phones, our lives would become incredibly monotonous and terrible. But looking at it now, it's really not that bad. Humans are ultimately creatures of habit. We used to use our phones to plan and control our lives, but now, even without phones and the internet, we're still doing just fine.
It's just that everything needs to start from scratch. Once all the zombies in the world are gone, I think humanity will definitely be able to create an even more brilliant civilization. However, how long that will take is anyone's guess.
Today is the day to return to Jiajiang. After I got up, I started packing my luggage. Hangzhou has now completely stabilized, and it's time for Pu Weichao and me to go back and resolve the issues in Jiajiang.
Su Mu's ambition is too great. If he really has the ability to unify the Delta, I have no objection to him unifying the entire Delta. However, Pu Weichao said that he simply does not have this ability. Once he launches a war, the entire Delta region will only be destroyed by him, and then everyone will probably die.
This matter is still quite complicated. Pu Weichao's meaning is clear: only the resort can legitimately unify the Delta region. But is it really possible? I'm a little skeptical. The resort is currently under my control, and it's normal for the people there to trust me, but if I were really asked to unify the entire Delta region, it probably wouldn't be such an easy task.
But now that the die is cast, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and follow in Pu Weichao's footsteps, hoping he won't go too far. Those are all acquaintances there, and I don't want to see them die because of a pointless war.
Everyone has ambition, which is normal, but I don't want so many people to die because of that ambition.
After I shared my thoughts with Pu Weichao...
He chuckled at me and said, "If you keep thinking like this, you're just giving Su Mu an opportunity. You've known him for so long, I think he definitely knows what kind of person you are. I reckon that after you go back, Su Mu will come and talk to you directly. What do you plan to do then?"
I was taken aback. I really hadn't thought about what to do, which made me hesitate.
Pu Weichao said, "If you show even the slightest bit of a desire not to participate in the war, Su Mu will seize the opportunity, and then you won't be able to refute him."
I opened my mouth, but didn't know how to answer.
Pu Weichao said, "However, nothing is certain yet. Let's go back first. For now, the other party won't come after you. As long as you keep a low profile, I think Su Mu definitely won't kill you directly."
I gave a bitter laugh. "What if he really kills me?"
Pu Weichao raised an eyebrow and said, "If you are really killed by him, then this matter will be simple. I will kill Su Mu, and then the entire Delta region will be under my control."
His answer did not surprise me, because once I died, only Pu Weichao would have the ability to coordinate peace among the three communities.
At nine o'clock in the morning, I said goodbye to Wu Shuang and set off back to Jiajiang.
We didn't have much to say to each other along the way. After all, we didn't know what the situation was like in Jiajiang. Pu Weichao was too lazy to analyze it and could only wait and see when we got back.
I suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why do you insist on making me the leader?"
I asked this question before, but Pu Weichao's answer was ambiguous and left me confused. I felt it was necessary to ask again to see what he really meant.
Pu Weichao said, "Didn't I tell you before? Only you can mediate the conflicts between the three parties. And only you will they trust you. It's not because you have great ability or talent, but simply because you are honest. As long as you are the leader of the three parties, they will not feel that their interests will be infringed."
I was very dissatisfied with this answer, but what he said was indeed true; in their eyes, I was indeed an honest person. Otherwise, the entire Jiajiang should have been mine, not Su Mu's.
I sighed. Although I didn't want to admit it, this was the situation that left me feeling helpless.
Pu Weichao smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. I know you really want to prove yourself. Now you have the chance to prove yourself."
"You mean unifying the three parties?" I asked.
Pu Weichao nodded, "Yes, unify the three groups and let them see just how capable you are. Only in this way can you convince them. If they always think you are an honest man, there is absolutely no way you can achieve unification."
Will you help me?
“I will help you, but I won’t help you forever. I’m not really interested in these things. I’m only helping you because I need the strength of this group of people.”
I said, "To find that mysterious research institute?"
“Yes.” He didn’t deny it.
Two days after Longhu was wiped out by us, he had already assembled a team, and Yu Jin was in that team. He gave this team an order to find the research institute. I knew about this, and I didn't stop him. I think he must still think that Ke Jiamin is alive, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to find the research institute.
To be honest, I'm also very curious about this research institute. Zhou Liang was bitten, but he went to the institute and came out alive. Zhang Jianzhou was the same; I had already killed him, but he was taken to the research institute and resurrected.
And then there's Wu Shuang. Although she had never been to the research institute, Zhang Jianzhou used the institute's technology to save her from death. Such technology is truly unbelievable.
What kind of institution is this research institute, and why is it so powerful?
Moreover, they are quite mysterious; those who have been there don't know exactly where it is. Pu Weichao is certain that the research institute is in Hangzhou, but whether that's true or not is another matter; it all depends on whether he can find it.
If we can find it, that would be great, as it might be useful to us in the future. But if we can't find it, then we'll be in a dilemma.
Hopefully, we'll find it. With an antidote for zombies, we won't have to fear them anymore.
