In the base’s staff residential area, the lights were still on in a certain resident’s house.
"Vice Dean, are you really going to make your move during the zombie tide? The risk of this isn’t small, you have to consider it well." A person said as they took a puff of their cigarette.
"We currently only have second-order ability users on hand, but they are all too weak. Those test subjects aren’t durable at all. Just from carrying out a dozen or so tests and they’re all scrapped." The vice-dean seemed to feel it was such a pity.
The one who was smoking frowned. "You’ve already been studying it for so long, are you really able to create us something that can allow our strength to increase by leaps and bounds?"
"Of course. Have you never thought about it? Ever since the apocalypse began, some people have come to wield abilities whereas others remained ordinary, there must be a reason. As long as I solve this mystery, I will definitely be able to develop something that can greatly increase your strength!"
The vice-dean clenched his fist and in his eyes, there was as if a flame that burned.
Seeing this appearance, Zhou Wanglin couldn’t help but sigh.
This person will become just like a madman as long as experimenting is mentioned, who knows whether his brain really is normal. But it’s also his fault for imagining it too beautifully at the beginning, assuming that he would be able to quickly become a powerhouse just by cooperating with the vice dean.
And what followed... He has done no shortage of bad deeds, but as for actual results, there hasn’t been even a speck of dust[2]!
"Well now, let's get down to business. The third-order ability users in the base currently include..." The vice dean’s eyes were slightly narrowed. "The one I'm interested in is Geng Yan."
Zhou Wanglin jumped up from his chair in fright. "What kind of a joke are you making?! There are several third-order ability holders in the base, you sure are good at choosing! Thunder-type ability holders are originally very powerful as they are, and I'm only at the same level as him. I'm afraid I won't be able to beat Geng Yan at all. If you want to seek death, you go yourself, don't try to drag me and my brothers into the water with you!"
"I've already made careful deliberations, listen to my analysis. Geng Yan is a third-order ability user, that’s absolutely correct, but the thunder-type crystal nuclei are relatively rare. If he needs to recharge his ability, aside from resting, he can only use nuclei. During this zombie tide period, the amount of time to rest wouldn’t be much in any case, and as for the thunder-type nuclei in his hand, there is also a limit."
"No matter how little nuclei he may have in hand, he’ll still be able to zap you - this trashy old man - into charcoal before he runs out!" Zhou Wanglin snorted coldly.
The vice-dean was still all smiles, without even an ounce of anger. "No matter how strong someone could get, they all would still have weaknesses, such as Geng Yan’s waste of a sweetheart. Ji Anran’s fair, tender and delicate while his stature is also small, meanwhile his lethality isn’t much. Regardless of whether he still has a crossbow, as long as Wei Yanhua isn’t around him, any ability user can overpower him."
"You mean... We capture Ji Anran, then use him to force Geng Yan to obediently become a test subject?" Zhou Wanglin raised an eyebrow.
The vice-dean stroked his beard. "The difficulty of this seems a bit high, right? Can you guarantee that Geng Yan would be willing to die for that little white face? We can first catch Ji Anran, then lure Geng Yan to a location where we’ve already prepared an inescapable net..."
"But... I still feel very anxious. I just don’t have the faith, you know?"
Zhou Wanglin walked back and forth impatiently. "You only know that I am a third-order ability holder, where could you know or understand the gap between Geng Yan and me? Since the other is the treasure of his heart, Geng Yan must definitely be keeping a close eye. Where would we even find an opportunity to make a move?"
"There’s a zombie tide now, and they all need to go out and kill zombies. The consumption of their energy and abilities wouldn’t be small. This is my private stash, you take a count. I think these can be of help to you. If we miss this zombie tide, it would be difficult for us to find another chance to try to catch a third-order ability holder alive."
Zhou Wanglin took a glance at the crystal nuclei in the small chest and pondered it for a while before finally taking it away after all.
Cooperation achieved.

Zhou Wanglin gave ma a favorable impression at first but now I'm thinking maybe I expected too much from him.
ReplyDelete-blink blink blink- Yes...
DeleteYin on the inside: "totally don't remember meeting him" 😂😂
If I'm not wrong it should be the plant-type ability user in Geng Yan's team
DeleteNo wait, I think I'm wrong. The whole team knows big boss hi is an ability user
Deleteo.o I feel like it's been almost forever since that plant-ability user has been named... I don't remember it being mentioned when they were digging for buried treasures at the tunnel...
