Chapter 760: Chapter 631: As Important as Three or Four Stories High!

“I just want to know where exactly the explosion happened. I don’t know how many people died in this explosion, and such a waste of a Venom Zombie!”

Zhang Su sighed. The Venom Zombie seemed to be of “Legendary” quality, and although the thalamus wasn’t golden, the venom liquid was incredibly valuable. Letting it go up in smoke like that was truly a shame.

“There’s a lot of chatter in the village, and all they know is that the sound, vibration, and glow came from the southeast. Some suspect it was the Mountain and Sea District. Based on the direction, it makes sense, but I don’t think it was a large Survivor Camp. Even if we don’t consider the zombie catching fire and going berserk, leaving a zombie corpse as fuel would be good too. It must be a small team or a lone wolf.”

Yuwen analyzed rationally.

In his understanding, zombie corpses have now equated to energy. In terms of thermal efficiency, combustion rate, flammability, and even from a cleanliness perspective, they’re much better than coal.

Such a superior source of energy shouldn’t be wasted easily and definitely wouldn’t be the work of a large camp.

Zhang Su made a quirky face and said, “I don’t feel good about this! Old Yu, did you calculate the time differences between the vibration, glow, and shock wave?”

“Time difference? Oh, I was too busy trying to stay alive at the time. I didn’t quite catch that.”

Yuwen smiled sheepishly.

“I’m not very professional, and the shock wave does attenuate over time, but I’m sure the explosion site is 30 to 40 kilometers away from here in a straight line. It’s particularly the Mountain and Sea District!”

Zhang Su’s tone carried subtle emotions.

“If it really is the Mountain and Sea District… sigh, I hope not.” Yuwen shook his head, feeling very pessimistic. Even if it isn’t the Mountain and Sea District, it’s confirmed to be in that direction and definitely closer to it. So, the survivors there must be suffering more.

“Let’s not dwell on it for now. We can find out more when things settle down. During today’s rescue operation, did you notice any problems?”

Zhang Su asked Yuwen. Although he was busy in the village, he had a lot on his mind and couldn’t spare the energy to watch others.

Yuwen frowned and took a drag on his cigarette, which he then threw down and stomped out, saying, “Those division leaders saw you personally coming down for the rescue, and each one was on the front line, working particularly hard. Moreover, today’s incident was sudden and concerned everyone. Everyone’s attitude was very proactive.

I have to say, Mr. Zhang, your influence is significant. Wherever you show up, people there work more diligently. I think this is the role of leadership!”

Zhang Su silently thought that it was the effect of the Emotion Release Source…

“After months of zombie apocalypse grinding, survivors with a low will to survive have been weeded out. Those who manage to stay alive now have a strong desire to survive. Facing disasters, they are more proactive. For our camp, this is a good thing.”

Yuwen nodded in agreement, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, remembering the explosion, and sighed, “Truly, the world is unpredictable. The Dragon Head Camp even sent people to us for help, and yet, sigh…”

“Right!” Zhang Su recalled something upon hearing Yuwen mention Shen Linrui and the others, saying, “Old Yu, today the people from Dragon Head Camp told me something. Good Fortune isn’t the only awakened animal!”

“Oh?” Yuwen straightened up upon hearing this news, asking seriously, “Do they have such cases in their camp too?”

“That’s correct! There’s a hamster in the Dragon Head Camp called Flash…”

Subsequently, Zhang Su relayed the news told by Shen Linrui and the others to Yuwen, then said, “I initially thought Good Fortune was the only one in the world. Now it seems there are already two cases in Qin City. At this rate, how many Prefecture-level Cities are there in the country?”

“There are over 300 Prefecture-level Administrative Regions, with 293 Prefecture-level Cities…” Yuwen quickly answered Zhang Su’s query.

“So, does that mean we could have nearly a thousand awakened animals across the Celestial Dynasty?”

Zhang Su had a strange expression. Anything multiplied by over 300 becomes quite exaggerated; nearly a thousand is indeed more than the people on Celestial Horse Island. It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to have so many awakened animals together.

“Or perhaps calculating it based on the human population ratio would be more precise.” Yuwen suggested.

Zhang Su’s eyes twinkled, and he said, “Based on population ratio, it’s about the same. Qin City has three million people, with two cases. That means one in 1.5 million, which still translates to around a thousand.”

“Actually, yes… If there really are that many awakened animals and they can establish good relations with humans, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for us!”

Yuwen clearly understood Good Fortune’s capabilities, definitely among the top tier within the camp. Other awakened animals likely wouldn’t fall short either.

“Zombies are a disaster for the whole planet. Awakened animals should be closer to humans…”

Zhang Su optimistically speculated.

“Haha, good evening, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yu.”

At this time, Xie Yanshan, hands in his sleeves, walked up to Zhang Su and Yuwen.

“Good evening, Dr. Xie. How’s the situation at Cui Leng Pavilion?”

Yuwen stood up and offered his seat to Xie Yanshan, knowing he must have something to report at this moment.

Xie Yanshan waved courteously, not sitting down, and replied, “The slope of the mountain road blocked the shockwave, so Cui Leng Pavilion is not in too bad of a shape; we got lucky.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Yuwen smiled and nodded, then said to Zhang Su, “Mr. Zhang, I’ll head back first. I’ll hand you the list of those who passed the test tomorrow.”

“No rush for that day. The aftermath will take at least three or four days to deal with. Get some rest early. You’ll oversee the work tomorrow, so don’t exhaust yourself.”

Zhang Su stood up to see Yuwen off, then invited Xie Yanshan to sit down, asking, “Dr. Xie, what do you need?”

Xie Yanshan sat down, looked around, and saw that the parking lot was bright and clear with no one nearby, he whispered mysteriously.

“It’s something important!”

“Oh?” Zhang Su’s tired eyes brightened, pushing his sunglasses up, and asked, “How important?”

“Quite important, like three or four stories high!”

Xie Yanshan quipped, then reached into his inner coat pocket with a solemn face and took out a resealable bag.

Zhang Su’s gaze sharpened, realizing that what Xie Yanshan held was none other than that black cube crystal!

“Indeed, important! Has there been any findings?”

Xie Yanshan nodded, saying, “I did some research this afternoon and made some slight progress. I can show you the effect, but it’s quite loud. If we need to keep it secret, we need to find a secluded but open space.”

“Secluded but open, Dr. Xie, you’re really teasing us, haha, let’s go!”

Zhang Su got up and led Xie Yanshan towards the direction of the mountain ravine.
