Zhao Longchuan looked at Zhang Chen in surprise, then at Zuo Nan, and asked with an embarrassed expression:
"Mr. Zhang, you wouldn't be mistaken, would you? Zuo Nan is just a cleaner, a non-combatant."
"Taking a guy like him on such an important mission, won't it easily lead to problems!"
Zhang Chen smiled slightly, took a step back, blocking Zuo Nan's escape route, and then said:
"A cleaner? Non-combatant? Heh..."
"I'm afraid this Mr. Zuo Nan is stronger than everyone present!"
When Zhang Chen scanned everyone in the conference room with his [Intermediate Insight Eye], he suddenly found that he couldn't see Zuo Nan's strength.
[Intermediate Insight Eye] has no level restrictions.
The only reason for not being able to identify the strength level is that Zuo Nan is a participant from the previous cycle!
Only previous cycle participants cannot have their level of strength recognized by observation skills.
Moreover, Zuo Nan wore gloves the entire time, and even chose a job as a cleaner, which was clearly to conceal his identity.
"A cleaner is stronger than us? Impossible!"
"Mr. Zhang Chen is joking, isn't he? If he had such formidable strength, wouldn't he have been assigned to the combat group long ago?"
"Exactly, the combat group has good food and good treatment, which is better than the cleaning group..."
The crowd spoke in a stream, completely confused about the situation.
"Zuo Nan, what's going on?"
Zhao Longchuan stood up and slowly stood behind Zuo Nan, forming a pincer attack with Zhang Chen.
Coupled with the presence of all the captains in the room.
It was impossible for Zuo Nan to escape.
"Discovered... How did you find out?"
Zuo Nan straightened up, revealing his tall and sturdy figure.
He was completely different from his hunched posture while sweeping just moments before!
"Because you're not the first participant I've met. If you don't answer my questions honestly..."
"You won't be the first participant I've killed! You should know who Sigman is!"
Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and said to Zuo Nan with a threatening tone.
After a long time, he finally remembered where he had heard the name Zuo Nan.
It was from the low-intelligence Sigman he met in the second walled city, who revealed "important intelligence" to survive.
Saying that the lighthouse key and the lighthouse's location were both in Zuo Nan's hands.
Because it was just said casually at the time, Zhang Chen just listened.
Upon seeing Zuo Nan now, he suddenly recalled it.
"Sigman? Did he send you?"
Upon hearing Sigman's name, Zuo Nan's expression clearly sank, and he asked vigilantly.
"Sigman sent me? Is that your dark humor?"
"Sigman is dead, along with the overseer he summoned and a guy named Buck, all dead!"
"Don't expect any reinforcements. Even if the Soul Organization's people all wake up, I will kill them all!"
"If you want to live, cooperate properly, otherwise, I'll send you to see your teammates right now!"
Zhang Chen said with an icy tone.
He didn't want to kill Zuo Nan unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, he had the intelligence he wanted.
Even if he slowly gathered all the technology blueprints, he could still obtain them.
But he had no clue where the lighthouse was.
Although many people speculated it was in the seventh walled city.
But Zhang Chen had passed through four walled cities, and these cities could accommodate at most a few hundred thousand people.
While the lighthouse was described as being able to accommodate one million people.
Such a massive object couldn't possibly be placed within a walled city, as the materials alone would be difficult to transport.
Therefore, it must be in a safe place.
This was the key to finding Tang Houde, and even more so, a prerequisite for ending the apocalypse.
"You killed Buck?"
Zuo Nan's face showed disbelief when he heard this.
"That was a strong individual in the first stage of advanced transformation, a powerhouse with energy talent. After activating his enhancement, he could temporarily increase his physical fitness dozens of times, claiming to be invincible among his peers..."
"Is your level higher than his?"
Zhang Chen sneered and said:
"My level wasn't as high as his back then, but... he wasn't as difficult to deal with as you say!"
Hearing these words, Zuo Nan's face turned pale with shock!
His level wasn't as high as Buck's back then...
Back then...
That would mean Zhang Chen's strength had now broken through to the second stage of advanced transformation!
Zuo Nan had fought his way through, combined with the growth from the previous cycle, and had only just recently advanced to the first stage of advanced transformation. And this man in front of him had directly surpassed his level?!
What kind of leveling speed was this?!
It was too terrifying!
"Um... what are you guys talking about? What participant, what Sigman, what else... do you know each other?"
Dong Tiejun asked, completely bewildered.
It was clear that Zhang Chen and Zuo Nan were meeting for the first time, which could be seen from their eyes; they were complete strangers.
Yet, as soon as they started talking, the two found so many common topics that others couldn't even interject.
Dong Tiejun held back for a long time, but he couldn't bear it any longer and took the initiative to ask.
"We were not the first batch of survivors to cross over to this world. It is known that there are at least two more batches of survivors who have crossed over to this world!"
"Participants from a cycle earlier than us wear dark red rings on their hands!"
As Zhang Chen spoke, he directly removed Zuo Nan's glove, revealing the ring on his hand, which was a completely different color from the others.
"Participants from an even earlier cycle wear yellow rings on their hands."
"Survivors, like mutated creatures and infected individuals, are also suppressed by the apocalypse. As the apocalypse's suppression is gradually lifted, they will gradually awaken."
"They are the first batch of survivors to awaken among the participants of the previous cycle!"
Zhang Chen briefly explained what he knew.
The crowd listened with amazement, their eyes wide open.
They originally thought it was just an ordinary apocalypse transmigration, but they didn't expect such a huge matter to be involved behind the scenes.
It was far beyond everyone's imagination.
If it weren't for the dark red ring on Zuo Nan's hand, everyone would have surely thought Zhang Chen was talking nonsense.
"So our transmigration this time wasn't an accident, but we were teleported here?"
"Does that mean we can also travel back?"
"Speaking of which, if we go back now... do we still need to take the college entrance exam?" a boy of sixteen or seventeen asked.
"Whether we can go back or not, but if we can end the apocalypse, the key information should be in this man's hands!"
Zhang Chen said, pointing at Zuo Nan again.
