Chapter 624: Where Did You Get That Knife in Your Hand?

"Damn it."

When Wu Lue heard Pang Dakun say that he was going to report to Zhang Su, his previously smug expression instantly froze, and he rolled his eyes, "You two are real ascetics, I’m impressed. Fine, fine, I won’t go, I won’t go. Hmph, when we go back, don’t expect to get any movies from me, I’m not giving you any!"

Feeling quite depressed, Wu Lue huffed and dove into his bed, burying his head and drifting off.

Compared to the carefree young people, the atmosphere on Li Zongkai’s side was somewhat oppressive.

"President, indeed, the current situation calls for a merger, and I fully support the decision to join Celestial Horse Island, but... our request to return early is not unreasonable, what if something unexpected happens at the camp?"

Wu Daqiang was quite worried; they were currently unable to contact the camp and could only passively wait for communication from that side, but the lack of any news made them uneasy.

He wanted to take his brothers back early, but Li Zongkai rejected this idea with a simple reason: collective actions require discipline, and since the Yama Corps has decided to head to the camp tomorrow, they should wait and go together.

Not only Li Zongkai disagreed with him, but many in the group were also against it. The main reason being that the zombies had grown stronger, making them feel an urgent threat; some felt they were like clay Bodhisattva statues, unable to even protect the people at the camp...

"I understand your worries, but you have to consider my situation and also trust the brothers stationed at the camp. If there’s any sign of trouble, they will definitely contact us immediately. Since there is no news, that is the best news. Try to stay calm."

Li Zongkai was also anxious, but much calmer than Wu Daqiang because they had different perspectives and priorities.

He himself was loyal to Zhang Su, and now that Civilization Guardian had decided to join Celestial Horse Island, their priorities for handling issues had naturally changed.

"Hmm?"

"What’s up, President?"

As they were talking, a sudden flash of inspiration struck in Li Zongkai’s mind, presenting him with a vague image that startled him.

"Just now... just now I seemed to recall something about the spy in our camp, but it vanished as quickly as it came..."

Li Zongkai furrowed his brow and tapped his head, trying to knock something out of his brain.

Wu Daqiang looked grave: "I’ve been pondering over this as well. Honestly, I have no idea who Liao Youzhi would have planted as a spy. Now that Liao Youzhi is dead, if he had stayed quiet, we might never have found him!"

Just like a cunning serial killer, committing one or two murders provides insufficient clues. As unwilling as it is, they could only hope for him to act again to catch a slip...

"I have a clue now. That night..."

Li Zongkai frowned as he recalled, an image of a person surfaced in his mind, and he suddenly had a realization, "Guan Senmiao!"

"Huh?"

Wu Daqiang seemed surprised by the name.

"I remember now, the night before last, I received your message first, then immediately went to the communication room to talk with you. At that time... Guan Senmiao was on duty, and he specially brought me a hot water bottle. It must be him; he must have eavesdropped on our conversation and relayed it to Liao Youzhi!"

"But Guan Senmiao, how could he..."

Among the hundreds in Civilization Guardian, Wu Daqiang didn’t have a distinct memory of every comrade, but he remembered Guan Senmiao clearly because Guan Senmiao was very eager to join the combat unit, always finding opportunities to approach him, asking various battle-related questions, and very dedicated to training, ultimately getting fast-tracked to become a reserve!"

"If it really was Guan Senmiao, it makes sense. He was always so proactive, showing interest in everything. It seems everything was premeditated..."

Wu Daqiang took off his hat in dismay. Without Li Zongkai pointing it out, he hadn’t realized it. Now, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious Guan Senmiao’s past actions seemed.

"Well, let’s leave it at that. Fortunately, Liao Youzhi is already dead. We’ll investigate once we return and deal with it then. It shouldn’t be hard. Let’s rest; we’ve all had a long day!"

Within Lego Mall, many people were exchanging conversations. As time passed, whispers gradually turned into snoring, with the day’s intense tension finally concluding in dreams.

The night in Qin City was exceedingly quiet, the sky starless and moonless. Viewed from above, almost no light sources were visible within the city. Yet, in this pitch-dark night, some roads still saw car headlights illuminating the way, with lights intermittently sweeping across the facades of high-rises on either side.

Not just one place, but several had convoys racing from south to north and others from east to west. A large truck was heading south, not too fast, leisurely moving along...

In the vehicle, the air conditioning was on, and the cabin felt warm and cozy. Ding Wei’s eyes gleamed brightly; two guns and a beautifully crafted short Tang blade lay on the passenger seat. A cigarette dangled from his mouth, but there wasn’t a trace of negative emotion on his face.

In his mind, he was calculating how to use a container of resources to make a comeback!

Besides the moving vehicles, other shadows scurried between buildings. Some survivors hiding in the dark corners were forced out for various reasons, compelled to face new changes...

The night slowly passed, and as the second morning dawned, the sky brightened, though sunlight failed to shine down on the land.

"Aaah..."

Comfortably stretching his body, Zhang Su twisted his slightly sore bones and checked the time, six-thirty.

He chuckled ruefully and complained, "It’s really a bummer not being able to enjoy such a soft bed, felt more exhausting sleeping on it!"

Meanwhile, Zheng Xinyu was tidying up her personal hygiene next to him, rinsing her mouth. Upon hearing Zhang Su’s words, she patted her chest, nodded, signaling, "I’ll handle it."
