Chapter 61: The Chosen One

Looking at Lan Zuancheng, the corner of Liu Yun’s lips curved up slightly as she asked, "Elder Brothers, we are going to follow Captain Lian and his men to a nearby warehouse area."

Scratching his head, Gu Zhenwei said in confusion, "I don’t think the soldiers have announced the search location."

Pausing for a second, he leaned closer to Liu Yun, then curiously asked, "Younger Sister Liu, where did you get this information?"

Liu Yun pointed to the Chi Wen Team and asked, "Have you guys seen that team?"

Gu Zhenwei nodded in response, while Lan Zuancheng said, "I noticed them when we came down from the military truck. However, they didn’t seem to be with us when we escaped from the gas station."

Seeing Liu Yun nod in response, Lan Zuancheng asked, "Younger Sister Liu, do you know them?"

Liu Yun shook her head and explained, "I don’t know them. I saw their captain and vice-captain go to find Captain Lian just now and became curious. I overheard their conversation and learned that the Chi Wen Team wanted to go to a factory warehouse area and invited Captain Lian to go with them."

Lan Zuancheng thought for a moment, then stared at Liu Yun. "Since you look so excited, there must be something good there."

Liu Yun gave him a thumbs-up. "Elder Brother Lan, you are very smart! Captain Ruan said that he owns that warehouse area, and that place was used to store canned food, instant food, and dried food products from one of his subsidiary companies."

"He also told Captain Lian that he had sent a team to check that area two days ago and found no traces of people breaking in. There should still be a huge amount of supplies inside."

The moment Lan Zuancheng heard this, his eyes flickered. "Ruan? Do you know his full name?"

"Mhm. He introduced himself as Ruan Weisong to Captain Lian."

When her words fell, Gu Zhenwei gasped in surprise. "Grass! Isn’t he the CEO of the Ruan Group?! How could he be here? Isn’t the Ruan Group’s headquarters in Shou Du City?!"

Looking at Gu Zhenwei’s shocked expression, Liu Yun asked, "Elder Brother Gu, you know him?"

Gu Zhenwei rolled his eyes at her question. "Of course, I know him. We are from the same circle and used to attend the same university. Since we were still wearing diapers, he and Brother Xuan had already become rivals."

Shrugging, he added, "Well, Brother Xuan never gave him any attention, though."

Noticing the slight change in Liu Yun’s expression, Lan Zuancheng patted her shoulder.

"Don’t worry. It’s just a little competition between two families. Brother Xuan and Ruan Weisong never really fought with each other. It’s the elders who always compare the two of them whenever they meet in public."

Listening to their explanation, Liu Yun became interested in Ruan Weisong.

As someone who could stand side by side with the future Zombie Emperor, he must be some important character in this Apocalypse World.

Not only that, based on his team’s appearance, it was clear that they were not to be messed with.

Rubbing her chin, Liu Yun stared at Ruan Weisong and thought, ’From what Elder Brother Gu and Elder Brother Lan said just now, this Captain Ruan must be someone wealthy and come from a strong family. Maybe I can try the Heaven’s Eyes skill on him and see if he is really that powerful.’

The moment she made her decision, Liu Yun activated her unique skill, Heaven’s Eyes.

A second later, a transparent blue screen appeared before Liu Yun.

The moment Liu Yun read Ruan Weisong’s information, she couldn’t help but curse.

’Grass! Isn’t this the basic template for a male protagonist?!’

Noticing that Liu Yun was staring at Ruan Weisong with her mouth open, Gu Zhenwei lightly nudged her with his elbow and playfully asked, "What? Are you interested in him?"

Pulled out of her shock, Liu Yun rolled her eyes at him. "Don’t talk nonsense."

Not believing that Liu Yun wasn’t interested in Ruan Weisong, Gu Zhenwei probed, "Then why are you staring at him while drooling?"

The moment he said this, Liu Yun quickly wiped her lips. When she realized that there was no saliva at all, she cursed inwardly, ’Grass! He tricked me!’

Glaring at Gu Zhenwei, Liu Yun asked through gritted teeth, "Elder Brother Gu, have you ever heard the phrase, ’Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated’?"

Stared at by her, Gu Zhenwei quickly raised his hands in surrender and said, "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I’m just joking."

Liu Yun snorted, then ignored him.

Looking down at the transparent blue screen in front of her, her eyes lit up as she thought, ’He he he~ Isn’t this a lucky koi? As long as I follow him, won’t I be able to reap the rewards without any danger?’

While Liu Yun was making her plan, Ruan Weisong, who was standing in front of his teammates, suddenly felt a chill in his nape.

He shuddered, then turned around. He scanned the surroundings but saw nothing.

"Captain, what’s wrong?" Yin Kaiming asked as he followed Ruan Weisong’s line of sight.

Rubbing his nape, Ruan Weisong shook his head and replied with a hint of doubt in his voice, "Nothing."

After scanning the surroundings one more time and finding nothing, he turned to look at his teammates and said, "Captain Lian has agreed to our invitation."

"Although we have the soldiers joining us, the number of zombies is unknown. This mission will be very dangerous, so you guys must prepare yourselves for the worst."
