After the last incident, Jiang Ruan and her team spent a long time categorizing all the people into those who could stay, those who couldn't, and those who could only stay temporarily...
Everything was fine until she even took those relay machines to her own location.
Everything was running smoothly and developing steadily, but unexpectedly, an accident happened.
Zhang Yang, who had just gone out on patrol, hurriedly led Mingyue and Qingfeng back.
As soon as he entered, he shouted inside, "Something terrible has happened! Boss, come out quickly! Something horrible has occurred!"
Jiang Ruan stopped what she was doing, slightly surprised by the expressions and actions of the others.
Logically speaking, they are people who have experienced many ups and downs, so it's strange that something could make them so shocked.
So she asked, "What's wrong? Don't rush, tell me slowly."
Zhang Yang swallowed hard, his face hardening as he prepared to speak, but he felt he couldn't say it well, so he nudged Qingfeng, signaling him to speak.
Qingfeng pointed directly at Mingyue: "Miss Jiang, he has good communication skills. Let him speak. Zhang Yang and I need to take it slow."
Mingyue already knew these two would definitely ask her to speak, so she didn't refuse and started talking directly: "Yesterday we went on patrol in the vicinity as required, and everything went smoothly without any problems. But there was one strange place, and we saw the legendary Zombie King!"
We initially thought it was just our eyes playing tricks on us, because it disappeared so quickly. But then, just a short while after we went out again today, we saw it heading back towards its original spot.
After Mingyue finished speaking, she stopped and stared at me quietly, while Zhang Yang and Qingfeng nodded frantically, afraid that I wouldn't believe them.
"Boss, it's the Zombie King! We were told that the resettlement site was in danger a long time ago, but for some reason it hasn't happened yet. Judging from the current situation, I think it's time."
Zhang Yang was analyzing the situation, but what he said startled Liu Yu.
He stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Yang's clothes, asking, "Are you telling the truth? Is there a zombie king at the resettlement site?"
Not long after entering, Liu Yu learned Zhang Yang's true identity, but he wasn't angry and accepted it calmly.
Hearing news of the Zombie King, I felt a little worried.
Zhang Yang was surprised to see the usually gentle expert Liu with such an expression, so he quickly grabbed him and said firmly, "That's right, that's exactly it."
Liu Yu kept his head down, and the others couldn't see his expression. They just felt that he was probably worried, since many of the people there were colleagues he had worked with for a long time, and some were even his former good friends.
This bond is not so easy to sever.
Jiang Ruan, however, was different. Upon hearing the words "Zombie King," she immediately, almost without hesitation, opened the connection and asked Wen Yu, "Xiao Yu, tell me, how much do you know about the Zombie King?"
Xiaoyu remained silent for a long time. She only responded when Jiang Ruan lost patience and was about to disconnect.
[Master, Xiaoyu doesn't understand what a Zombie King is. It might be something even more powerful than the current zombies, but that's alright. Even the most powerful being has a way to be countered.]
Jiang Ruan instantly understood what she meant. She was referring to Gu An, the superhuman who had awakened the ability to control corpses at the very beginning, and who was currently soaking in the spiritual spring.
This zombie king is probably no match for him.
Following Xiaoyu's words, Jiang Ruan ran into the space and met Gu An.
His skin looked even smoother after not seeing him for several days.
This spiritual spring is truly a wonderful thing!
As she was looking closely, Gu An opened his deep eyes, and Jiang Ruan's appreciative expression fell into them.
"Ah Ruan..." The man's voice was slightly hoarse, carrying a fatal languor and casualness, yet also a hint of cherishing and longing.
With the sound of rushing water, Gu An stood up without waiting for Jiang Ruan's reply, took a step forward from one end of the spring, walked to Jiang Ruan's side, and stared at her.
"Gu... An, you're finally better!" It was rare for Jiang Ruan to show her vulnerable side. She looked at Gu An with bright eyes. He was the person she had missed and waited for for so long.
At this moment, neither of them spoke again, only their focused attention and passion remained as the gentle breeze blew by.
After a long while, the two got up, and Jiang Ruan told Gu An everything about the current situation before he even asked.
Gu An's expression showed a hint of doubt. Jiang Ruan knew that he had the ability to control corpses, but when had he ever said that?
He found it a bit strange, but knowing something was better than knowing nothing at all.
"So you mean, you want me to deal with the zombie king, is that right?"
Gu An asked another question: He was still very confident in fighting the zombie king.
"Yes, I want you to use your superpower to control it. If it can be used by me, keep it; if it can't, kill it."
Gu An's heart tightened upon hearing this. He knew what Jiang Ruan meant by "using superpowers to control the zombie king"—it was an extremely dangerous and difficult task.
But he also understood that if they succeeded, they would gain a huge advantage.
Therefore, he had no reason to refuse. Moreover, he had been nourished by this spiritual spring for a long time, and it was time to test the results.
After making up their minds, the two came out, but while Gu An was still inside the space, Jiang Ruan arranged for him to be placed in a room in the building of the shopping mall.
Therefore, no one can see him at this time.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to say next. Jiang Ruan remained silent; they couldn't very well go and kill the zombie king themselves—that would be suicidal, and they weren't stupid.
After thinking it over, Jiang Ruan stood up and said calmly, "Everyone, don't worry about these things. Someone has already come over and will solve the problem of the zombie king for us. We don't need to worry about that. Instead, we should be concerned about the remaining experts at the resettlement center."
"I suspect that Chief Xiao coerced experts into developing a drug. The sudden appearance of this zombie king must be his doing. If we want to completely eliminate this threat, we must start with him. However, he is very wary of us. If we hadn't taken Xiao Xiang hostage, he probably would have already attacked us."
As Jiang Ruan analyzed the situation, a burning light flashed in her eyes. She believed that this incident would give Chief Xiao an unforgettable lesson.
As they were talking, Jiang's mother walked in and happily told everyone, "Gu An is back. He's sitting in the hall over there. Everyone, come over quickly. We can discuss anything over there."
Upon hearing this, a group of people ran out like madmen, especially Mingyue and Qingfeng...
