These two words reached Duan Yu and Zhang Yang's ears very clearly, and the two exchanged a knowing smile in private.
Objective achieved!
"Huh? What did you say? An architecture expert, not a biology expert?" Mr. Xiao frowned. He had thought they had found an expert who studied viruses and biology.
Such a rare talent is sought after by the other three continents, and he is naturally no exception.
The zombie mutation far exceeded the time and number the country had anticipated. As a result, many things could not be communicated up the chain of command, and those below had to carefully consider and apply them on their own.
In order to be the first continent to compile and implement regulations on the causes of the virus, the characteristics of its mutations, and effective treatments, each continent was secretly searching for talent and competing with each other.
Therefore, experts in biology and medicine became popular figures, while those in architecture and design were overshadowed.
Upon seeing that it was Chief Xiao asking the question, the person next to him excitedly turned around and respectfully said, "Hey, this guy was originally a designer. He studied architecture for a diploma, and I don't know what got into him or if he was just lucky, but he actually became an architecture expert."
An architecture expert is already quite remarkable; how could he possibly be a biologist? He doesn't have the ability to master both at once.
After listening, Chief Xiao hummed in agreement, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxing. He then gave a few more instructions to the crowd before leaving with Xiao Xiang.
Perhaps they thought it was just a street entertainment activity, nothing special.
After they left, Duan Yu and his companion breathed a sigh of relief. The man was still clutching Zhang Yang's trouser leg and began to sob.
"You...don't do this, you expert shouldn't do this, you're really trying to shorten my lifespan!" Zhang Yang squatted down, feeling that it was very inappropriate.
"Hey, Dr. Liu, don't be fooled by these two. I can tell at a glance they're charlatans, just trying to harm us and steal our crystals. You're usually such a rational person, how could you be fooled by people like this?"
Liu Yu, also known as the architect or expert Liu.
After hearing this, he shook his head violently and turned to face the onlookers, saying, "Everyone, please stop talking. I will make my own decisions. Please go back!"
Upon hearing this, his colleagues looked at him with a sense of disappointment and bluntly said, "Liu Yu, instead of taking good care of your family at home, you're thinking of using all the crystals in your family to obtain a false judgment. Your materialism really disheartens me, and it disheartens your teachers and seniors even more!"
The source of the sound was a tall, thin man, but his shifty eyes always gave the impression that he was not someone to be trifled with.
This man was none other than Zhang Huan, who used to be at odds with Liu Yu. He was a biologist and had been asked to leave by Governor Xiao long ago.
I rushed over here because I heard that Liu Yu was there, hoping to persuade him.
But Liu Yu was determined to believe it.
"Heartbroken? Heh, don't talk about that. Let me tell you, you know me. I once consulted a fortune teller who predicted that I would die today. But the fortune teller also said that I would be saved by a benefactor. So, whoever can live up to what the fortune teller said, I will choose to believe."
Liu Yu snorted coldly, glanced at Zhang Huan briefly, and then tugged at Zhang Yang's trouser leg for help once again.
He believed that since he had the ability to calculate it, he certainly had the ability to solve this problem.
Zhang Yang and Duan Yu exchanged a glance, and then Zhang Yang pulled the man up from the ground.
"Expert Liu, don't worry. Since we accepted your request, we will definitely do it. But you should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch. If there is, it must be poisoned." Duan Yu said while observing Liu Yu's expression.
Liu Yu immediately agreed without considering any additional conditions. He had only one belief: to survive.
"You say that as long as it's something I, Liu, can do, I will do my utmost to help you achieve it." Liu Yu immediately stood up and resumed his humble attitude.
"We need your help to build some houses. They need to be redesigned, remodeled, and renovated. If you agree, everything will be fine."
Liu Yu's eyebrows shot up; he hadn't expected it to be so simple. He was about to respond happily when the onlookers beat him to it.
"See? I knew this guy was up to something. He set a trap specifically for Expert Liu. It's obvious they were after his abilities. Like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, they had no good intentions."
"Who can argue with that!"
...
The crowd chatted for a long time, one person after another, and Liu Yu's face grew darker and darker.
"Shut up, you're all just waiting for me to die so you can steal my things and take over my family. Let me tell you, if I really die, none of you will escape. I'll make sure you all go with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the onlookers ran away; no one wanted to mess with such a person.
Once most of the people had left, Liu Yu once again bowed to Zhang Yang to express his apology.
At this moment, Jiang Yan also returned, empty-handed, without a single order in sight.
"What? Did you have your fortune told?" he whispered to Duan Yu, who nodded.
“Zhang Yang knows this; it’s his old profession, he can do it.” He gestured with his chin, pointing directly at Liu Yu beside him.
"This is Liu Yu, an architecture expert. He's the professional we're looking for. With him here, Jiang Ruan will definitely be able to complete the task well."
Jiang Yan tapped his hands together and suddenly understood.
He wondered where all those flyers came from, and they looked exactly like Liu Yu, who was standing next to Zhang Yang with a harmless smile.
After all that, all the action planning was for him.
Zhang Yang briefly introduced Liu Yu to everyone, then packed his things and prepared to go find Jiang Ruan. But after taking only two steps, Liu Yu stopped, tilted his head back, and said, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't go with you."
He looked in the direction of home, and quickly released Zhang Yang from his restraints, running towards the back.
"Hey, Liu Yu... are you out of your mind?!"
Duan Yu's face darkened, and he immediately chased after Zhang Yang, who was still in a daze, calling out, "Hurry up! This is really strange. Liu Yu is clearly not a superhuman, nor does he have anything particularly attractive about him. Why is he so careless about his life? Where did that person who begged us to save him go?"
Duan Yu complained and sighed, but he really couldn't catch up with him.
"That's too fast. I don't believe he doesn't have superpowers." Zhang Yang stared wide-eyed, also looking puzzled. However, he didn't say anything else because he had already seen Liu Yu enter a mansion. Even the gatekeeper had to urge him three times and complain a few times before opening the door to let them in.
"We're here! We're here!"
