Chapter 718 589: News About a Sphere!

"Haha, that's damn interesting... Come on, tell us about your situation."

Zhang Su thought about the story between these people and Liao Youzhi and couldn't help but laugh.

At least it wasn't a sarcastic laugh, which helped lighten the mood a bit. The man steadied himself and said, "My name is Zhou Haotian. I, um, worked as a librarian. After the disaster broke out, I escaped from my neighborhood to the Liangma Mall. Because the library is right next to it, I'm very familiar with it. I endured through the first month or so.

Later, a survivor team found the mall, and I went with them. Eventually, we reached Lego Mall and joined the Survivor Alliance. Then... then, I told Leader Liao at that time..."

"What Leader Liao, that's Liao Youzhi. Now there's only King Yama and Leader Zhang!"

When Yang Dongxin heard Zhou Haotian call him Leader Liao, he almost died of fright and quickly corrected him.

"Right, right, Liao Youzhi, Liao Youzhi. I told Liao Youzhi that I was an assistant researcher in the Beijing quantum research department, and I managed to sneak into the science department."

Zhou Haotian finished, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Zhou Haotian..."

Zhang Su muttered to himself, feeling like he had heard this name somewhere before, but it was so vague he couldn't recall.

When Zhou Haotian heard Zhang Su mumbling his name, he couldn't help but tense up, after all, he didn't mention Zuo Fengjuan and Yang Dongxin...

Zuo Fengjuan and Yang Dongxin were also tense, and they couldn't help but look at Zhou Haotian. The room instantly became quiet, as if one could hear the thumping of hearts.

"I don't know..." Zhang Su shook his head to bring his mind back to the present: "Beijing's, and a quantum research department, quite something... all three of you are something! You fooled Liao Youzhi nicely, huh? People at your level managed to make Corpse Transformation Powder?"

He originally thought he'd found three treasures, but it turned out to be this result. No wonder Xie Yanshan said they were just ordinary people following orders!

Yang Dongxin let out a relieved breath and forced a smile: "That was just good luck. At that time, we combined some zombie organs for purification, and accidentally invented Corpse Transformation Powder... I'm not afraid to tell you, but now we can't even recreate it."

"Are you medieval witches, brewing magic potions? I'm really impressed!"

Zhang Su completely gave up hope, thinking maybe these half-baked people had a bit of skill, but it turned out they didn't even qualify as half-baked, yet they'd managed to create something that almost killed people.

"So once Fu Weijun left, you all started a circus?"

Zhang Su began to suspect the real reason Fu Weijun left the Survivor Alliance. Perhaps he wasn't against experimenting on humans, but just couldn't stand these unreliable colleagues.

Faced with such an embarrassing question, the three didn't know what to say and could only keep their heads down.

Zhang Su looked at the group in front of him with a sense of powerlessness and waved his hand: "No matter what, Liao Youzhi trusted you a lot. Did he mention any secrets to you? Tell me about it!"

Since there was no real skill, he might as well ask for information.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Yang Dongxin answered quickly, with a mix of excitement in his voice: "Liao Youzhi is very sly. He not only set up a private warehouse at Lego Mall but also has a room at the Baitong Building. He accidentally let it slip while talking to me!"

"Is that so?"

Zhang Su asked puzzled: "Don't make baseless claims. Wu Baokang is at the camp now, he's already defected, I don't believe there's something you know that he doesn't!"

Wu Baokang, as one of Liao Youzhi's bodyguards, knows all sorts of messy information.

Yang Dongxin paused briefly at the mention of Wu Baokang but didn't show fear and nodded vigorously: "I don't know whether Xiaowu knows or not, but I can assure you of the truth of this matter. It's a private small warehouse in the Baitong Building!"

"Baitong Building... Far enough from Lego, probably about two kilometers away. Which specific floor is the warehouse on, and what's stored in there?"

Zhang Su became a bit interested since it was an escape route prepared by a leader of hundreds of people, it should contain some good stuff.

"I guess it's mainly food and weapons. But as for the specific location, I don't know. Liao Youzhi had a drink that day and mentioned it casually."

"The Baitong Building is divided into A and B towers, with over ten floors, totaling over three hundred households. Your information is useless. I ask you, have you ever heard Liao Youzhi mention anything about the Pigeon Nest area? I heard something happened over there!"

Zhang Su simply asked without revealing everything. If they knew something, they would certainly fill in the details.

"Pigeon Nest... Pigeon Nest!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhang Su's words, the young man Zhou Haotian nodded eagerly: "I know, I heard about a thing, they say there's a sphere in the sea over at the Pigeon Nest!"

Yang Dongxin and Zuo Fengjuan obviously didn't know this and looked at Zhou Haotian with curiosity.

"A sphere?" Zhang Su also pretended to be unaware, raised his hand to urge: "What's strange about a sphere, do you know more?"

"I have a friend... ahem, this isn't a joke, I really have a friend. He joined a group on the Beihai District side called Water Bear. One time during a trade at Lego Mall, I met him and he told me about this.

Actually, there's not much to it. Suddenly, a sphere that emits electricity appeared in the sea near Pigeon Nest. No one knows when it was there, maybe it was always there, but it suddenly started emitting electricity, that's when people noticed it."

"Suddenly emitting electricity?"

Zhang Su rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Mm-hmm!" Zhou Haotian nodded: "He said it snowed that night, everyone went to the terrace to watch the snow, and then they noticed the flashing light from the direction of the sea, like someone was doing arc welding, so everyone went to see, and that's how they discovered the sphere."

"Snowing..."

Zhang Su's heart skipped a beat. With that being said, there are no doubts. That sphere is certainly not a product of human civilization!

"Any more information? Didn't they try to retrieve it?"

Zhang Su continued to ask.

"I asked that question. My friend said that the sphere is a bit far from shore, and their leader thinks it's not worth the risk." Zhou Haotian spread his hands, seeming to agree that it wasn't worth the risk either.

Zhang Su didn't continue questioning, pacing back and forth pondering, and after two to three minutes, he looked at the three: "Is there anything else you need to explain, those kinds of secrets that few know? I'm not interested in your personal trivialities; I want Survivor Alliance secrets."

"Um... I do know something about Gong Chengming, not sure if it's significant?"

Yang Dongxin raised his hand.

"Speak!"

"I accidentally discovered that Gong Chengming entered and exited the office building across from Lego Mall a few times. His behavior was very suspicious, suggesting he was hiding something. I didn't explore further, and haha, I haven't told anyone, you're the first to know."

Yang Dongxin smiled obsequiously.

Clap.

Zhang Su slapped his forehead, speechless: "Your information is too damn late! Gong Chengming hid zombies in that building, over a thousand zombies! Damn, speaking of this, I saved your lives!

That morning you left, it snowed in the afternoon. The zombies were strengthened and rioted. Zombies from the office building across from Lego Mall charged towards us, killing more than a dozen brothers. If we hadn't got reinforcements from Little Eagle Association, Lego Mall would have been wiped out!"
