Qiang Xiucheng naturally knew that since other regions had fallen, their N Province had become an independent zone, and Zhou Zuo seemed like a changed man.
But he was still the person in power, with great authority, what could you do to him?
Xu Qian pondered for a moment and chose to tell the truth.
After all, Qiang Xiucheng was a good person who risked his life for the people, he wouldn't be careless.
"I think he's been replaced."
"Replaced? What do you mean?" Qiang Xiucheng didn't react at all.
"It means, he's not the original person in power, but has been replaced by the X Group."
Qiang Xiucheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Isn't the X Group involved in biological research? How could they..."
"I'm not at liberty to tell you more about the X Group's affairs. In my opinion, they have every reason to do so."
Qiang Xiucheng was stunned. Zhou Zuo's personality had changed drastically, perhaps it was for this reason?
Before the apocalypse, Zhou Zuo was diligent and amiable in his dealings with people. He thought it was wealth that had corrupted him and changed him.
"What's your basis?"
Xu Qian shook her head. "No basis, just a pure guess. We're not that familiar with him, after all."
Teeth couldn't prove anything. Perhaps he didn't smoke before, but now he did.
However, without being a smoker for over a decade, one couldn't achieve this color, right?
Qiang Xiucheng sighed. Without evidence, nothing could be said.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and pondered for a moment. "Director Qiang, why don't we test him?"
"How do we test him?"
"It's not good for you to resist the person in power. Let's clear out everyone within 2 kilometers of the group's perimeter, then open the gate of the X Group. I'll see what he really wants."
Qiang Xiucheng frowned. "But..." Once the zombies were released, it would be difficult to recall them.
"I'll handle the aftermath."
The longer the mission dragged on, the more uneasy she felt.
Qiang Xiucheng nodded. That area was already avoided by everyone, so clearing out 2 kilometers would be easy.
He trusted Xu Qian and Xu Lu's abilities.
"Where is Xiao Lu?"
Mentioning Xu Lu made Qiang Xiucheng happy. Xu Lu was a very diligent child, never slacking when it came to killing zombies.
"He's gone with the main team to clear zombies."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. So active?
Something was wrong.
Xiao Ping was causing trouble.
"Director, if he does anything wrong, please be understanding."
Qiang Xiucheng didn't pay much attention. Xu Lu was a well-behaved child.
Not long after, Qiang Xiucheng, as instructed, opened the gate of the X Group.
Countless red-eyed zombies slowly crawled out and wandered around.
The two of them stood on the opposite building and watched.
The arranged personnel rushed forward and began killing the zombies.
After a while, a black luxury car drove over and parked nearby. Zhou Zuo watched for a moment, then found it odd. Why were they only killing zombies and not going in to rescue people?
He rolled down the window and shouted, "Quick, go in and see if there are any survivors."
The old and the young looked at each other without speaking. The team sent out two people in protective suits to investigate.
After a long wait, they still hadn't come out.
Zhou Zuo became anxious and continued to order, "Send more people in."
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. Who was he waiting for?
"Xu Qian, it's good that we prepared enough protective suits. How did you know he would definitely send people in to search?"
"He's so anxious, he must be looking for someone. Are the things in the car ready?"
Qiang Xiucheng nodded. "Everything is ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people carried a blond, blue-eyed man out. Zhou Zuo immediately opened the car door and went out to help him.
"Victor, are you alright?"
Victor was enraged. "Did you send people to sabotage the base?"
Zhou Zuo was startled and quickly looked around at the people nearby, whispering, "How could we? Let's talk in the car."
