Zhang Chen sat behind his desk and was thoughtful.
The tracking personnel only reported back yesterday that Wang Chu and his party had set up camp at Nancheng Bridge and seemed to be taking a short rest.
Why did Wang Chu return so quickly?
What is he going to do?
"Chief Zhang, we meet again."
The door to the room opened.
Wang Chu walked over under the leadership of He Chen. He was a little embarrassed compared to before. It was obvious that he had not been having a good time these days.
"Are you here to deliver the crystal core?" Zhang Chen didn't bother to guess the other party's intention and went straight to the point.
"Chief Zhang is joking." Wang Chu chuckled and came to the desk, "I have the crystal core, but I don't know if Chief Zhang can eat it."
As he spoke, he took out a bag again, which was much larger than the previous one.
"Crash."
More than fifty crystal nuclei fell.
Zhang Chen's face was expressionless, and his heart was full of doubts.
There are a lot of two crystal nuclei, even if they are all first-order, it is difficult to obtain.
Is the City of Hope really stupid for hundreds of thousands of zombies?
It doesn’t look like it either!
Not long ago, the group of people he encountered carjacking clearly didn't have much fighting ability.
"What do you want to change?" Zhang Chen asked, stroking his fingers.
He is really curious now.
"Exchange these for three second-order crystal cores or one third-order crystal core." Wang Chu made the request directly without any nonsense.
"Haha." Zhang Chen chuckled, "Are you kidding me?"
"This is just the first business." Wang Chu shrugged and said, "I will bring more first-order crystal cores in the future. Since Leader Zhang knows those things, he should understand that soon the third-order crystal cores will be worthless. .”
"How much do you have left?" Zhang Chen asked calmly.
Admittedly, what the other party said was correct.
As time goes by, the value of second- and third-order crystal cores will also depreciate. It is also an option to replace them with a large number of first-order crystal cores to increase the average strength.
"I dare not say that there are too many. There are still hundreds of them." Wang Chu said very confidently.
"Can I ask why you didn't talk like this last time?" Zhang Chen was quite curious.
To be fair, if Wang Chu had chatted like this before, he wouldn't have directly committed a robbery.
Now it seems that this person has other plans.
"It used to be official business, but now it's my own business." Wang Chu said matter-of-factly, "Chief Zhang manages so many people, so he should know the truth."
Zhang Chen nodded in agreement and said, "So I won't hand over important items to people I can't control. What are you doing for this?"
Speaking of which, it is actually very clear.
It can be confirmed that Wang Chu is not only a high-ranking and powerful member of the City of Hope, but also a core member.
Otherwise, there is no way to access so many crystal nuclei.
"Before I answer this question, there is one more thing I need to confirm." Wang Chu narrowed his eyes, stared directly at Zhang Chen and asked, "Do you know where such a large number of crystal nuclei come from?"
He had to confirm this.
It's just too suspicious.
Leader Zhang was not surprised to see so many crystal nuclei from beginning to end.
I even take it for granted, regardless of the origin.
This is simply impossible.
Ordinary extraordinary people would be shocked if they received just three or five, not to mention dozens of them.
There is no way, the core explosion rate is there.
If you're not lucky, not even one of the tens of thousands of zombies may appear.
"Put a large number of zombies and people together, and mix the food and water with crystal core powder, and extraordinary people will easily appear." Zhang Chen tilted his head and answered.
This statement was widely circulated in previous lives.
It is also one of the City of Hope’s secret experiments.
Of course, the final conclusion is that this method makes little sense.
There are two factors that lead to the emergence of a large number of extraordinary beings.
First of all, everyone has the potential to master extraordinary abilities. As time goes by, the environment changes, and eventually there are almost no ordinary people in the world.
The second is extreme environmental oppression. Everyone has potential but does not know how to release and control it. Life and death crises can increase the probability of awakening.
It's nonsense to break the crystal core into pieces and give it to people to eat.
City of Hope was a hit by accident.
"I didn't expect that Leader Zhang knew so clearly."
Wang Chu's Adam's apple rolled involuntarily when he heard this, and he was greatly surprised.
He had thought that the other party might know some clues, but he knew everything about it and even told them about the experiments they had done.
Is it possible that the other party knows the city lord?
Impossible!
If he knew him, he would probably be dead by now.
Where did you know that?
Could it be that there really is a prophetic ability in the world?
"So, what does this have to do with what you are doing?" Zhang Chen asked with a smile.
"Since Leader Zhang knows about this experiment, I won't hide it." Wang Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me introduce again, I am from the City of Hope in Nancheng District, and I am one of the deputies of the Lord of the City."
"There are more than 100,000 survivors gathered here, including countless extraordinary ones. I believe Leader Zhang also sees our strength."
"Seven extraordinary beings are performing tasks at the same time. I believe this lineup cannot be found anywhere."
Zhang Chen frowned when he heard this.
One hundred thousand survivors are really beyond expectations.
"No need to doubt, Chief Zhang, what I said is true. I believe your people will report the news truthfully in a few days."
Wang Chu felt relieved when he saw Zhang Chen's demeanor.
It would be terrible to hear this news and remain indifferent.
He even doubted whether he should come to this trip.
"Before the end of the world began, our city lord received news of a possible disaster and prevented evacuation in advance. In fact, it was more than an hour before the incident occurred."
"But even so, we have taken in enough people and supplies, as well as a large amount of medical equipment and researchers."
Zhang Chen's face was gloomy.
Even if I know that privilege exists everywhere, it is still difficult to calm down when I actually hear it.
One hour is not a long time, but it is enough to change the fate of many people.
In fact, he had doubts when he knew that the Church of Dark Night knew the end of the world in advance.
Do the top leaders really have no news at all?
But after a second thought, he calmed down again.
Maybe it's because of knowing that it becomes like this.
Almost all the military and civil servants stepped up to try to prevent the disaster, only to be wiped out.
After all, who could have imagined that the end of the world would be like this.
If the news is really released in advance, I am afraid it will cause greater turmoil.
Just look at the process of doomsday.
As fear spreads, what follows is killing and blood, and the degradation of human nature.
But then again.
Does national power still exist?
I seem to have no memory of my previous life.
"Chief Zhang." Seeing Zhang Chen deep in thought, Wang Chu couldn't help calling.
"You continue." Zhang Chen came back to his senses.
"Currently, the first phase of the experiment has come to an end. The next step is the experiment on high-level extraordinary beings. Unfortunately, there is a high probability that I will be selected." Wang Chu said with a sad look.
"So, you want to save yourself?" Zhang Chen asked.
"correct."
Wang Chu said seriously.
"This is my only way at the moment. We can't resist the power of the city lord. He has too many resources and too much power."
"Please come back, I think this deal has no chance of success."
Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and decisively refused.
"Chief Zhang, this..."
Wang Chu's expression changed when he heard this, and he was eager to say something.
Zhang Chen sneered and said: "If you keep talking nonsense, you and the crystal core will stay."
Hear this.
Wang Chu said no more, took the crystal core and left without saying a word.
He couldn't figure it out.
Why did the plan fail?
What went wrong.
