I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving!
Zhang Chen suddenly stood up and said.
Huh?
Everyone was startled, but the general strategy for the battle had already been decided. The remaining task was the allocation of personnel to each camp, which indeed had little to do with Zhang Chen.
Therefore, everyone immediately stood up in unison and respectfully escorted Zhang Chen out.
Ding! Sayed sent a friend request...
Ding! Assam sent a friend request...
Ding! Elizabeth sent a friend request...
Ding! Slim sent a friend request...
......
As soon as Zhang Chen stepped out of the conference room, he received a flood of friend requests.
A cursory glance revealed they were all leaders from the various camps who had just attended the meeting.
It was only natural to make some friends.
Zhang Chen accepted them all.
However, there was no friend request from the City Lord, Jiao Qinghe.
But Zhang Chen didn't think too much about it.
He wondered what kind of situation Xiao Guanghan was encountering.
If he could send him a message, it meant he hadn't entered combat, or was temporarily safe.
He had to get there quickly.
Thinking this, Zhang Chen quickened his pace.
Just as he exited the library.
Zhang Chen was stunned by the sight before him.
The meticulously maintained lawn was completely devoid of any green. Pits were everywhere.
The soil had been overturned and scattered all around.
The accompanying personnel of the camp leaders were all standing far off to the side.
They formed a circle around the lawn, their expressions a mixture of fear, excitement, and surprise.
Xiao Bai and Er Pang were nowhere to be seen.
A second later, a massive figure descended from the sky.
It landed on the ground with a thud, stirring up clouds of dust.
It was Er Pang.
After landing, Er Pang quickly got up and leaped to the side.
Thump!
Then a small figure crashed down.
The small, fair fist seemed to contain world-ending power.
It directly smashed a large pit into the ground.
People could even feel the ground trembling noticeably!
Everyone couldn't help but let out gasps of astonishment.
Just moments ago, some survivors had questioned the existence of Xiao Bai and Er Pang, assuming they were pets or some alternative companions of the leader of the world's number one organization.
After all, with great power came great freedom.
There were no laws or morals to constrain them here.
But upon seeing Er Pang's giant mutated form and Xiao Bai's terrifying strength...
Everyone finally understood... They truly were the leader of the world's number one organization. Even a mere little girl or pet by his side was someone they absolutely could not afford to offend!
In the wilderness, they could easily become terrifying bosses that everyone would strive to avoid!
Alright, Xiao Bai, Er Pang, stop playing. We need to go!
Zhang Chen said, walking directly towards the battlefield of the two.
Upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, the people present became agitated again.
Playing?
You call this playing?
This... this is too outrageous!
Oh, okay, Daddy!
Xiao Bai nodded obediently.
Then, while Er Pang was in its smaller form, she suddenly kicked it playfully, sending it flying seven or eight meters away.
Woof!
Er Pang rolled five or six times on the ground before stopping.
Then it happily trotted back.
This fellow, with its thick hide, didn't feel any pain from such a beating; instead, it felt delighted.
The two and the wolf bypassed the market and quickly returned to Xiao Guanghan's residence.
At this moment, Xiao Guanghan, Han Shuang, Fan Yiyi, and others were already waiting there.
Seeing Zhang Chen enter, they quickly sent out a few team members to guard the entrance against the wind.
They closed the door and drew the curtains.
It was all very secretive.
What happened? Is something wrong?
Zhang Chen asked.
I suspect something is strange here, so I asked Fan Yiyi and Han Shuang to go out and investigate. You absolutely wouldn't believe what they found!
I'll let them tell you the specifics!
Xiao Guanghan said in a low voice.
Fan Yiyi nodded and said,
I originally just wanted to wander around the market, but I ran into an acquaintance!
She's my college roommate, Wang Fang. I'm in the Biology department, and she's in the Philosophy department. We didn't have classes together, but we were on good terms!
What I found strange was that she seemed to have completely forgotten me!
Zhang Chen gave Xiao Guanghan a puzzled look, unsure what Fan Yiyi's story implied.
Perhaps Wang Fang was pretending not to recognize you, or maybe due to the food and drink situation in the apocalypse, everyone had lost some weight. It's possible she didn't recognize you at first. There could be many reasons.
Xiao Guanghan signaled towards Fan Yiyi, implying: Just keep listening.
Fan Yiyi continued, She might not remember me, but what's even more outrageous is that she's pregnant!
I was her roommate. She spent her days attending classes and then studying in the dormitory. She didn't have a boyfriend, nor did she have time to get one!
Yet, after only seeing her for over a month, she's visibly pregnant, looking about three or four months along. This is simply incomprehensible!
Also, Wang Fang usually dressed simply and was a bit disheveled. Her myopia was severe, and she always wore glasses!
Now she doesn't need glasses at all, and her fashion sense is bold and avant-garde. Having lived in the same dorm for so long, I only just discovered how good her figure is!
When Zhang Chen heard about the pregnancy, he suddenly recalled the two women he had seen in the market.
This point was indeed problematic.
But based on this alone, Xiao Guanghan wouldn't have called him back.
Brother Zhang, let me share my findings!
Han Shuang took out a map and spread it flat on the table.
I just inquired about the road leading to the interface city and checked it against the map!
I found that the general direction of the road is correct, but the locations of some buildings in the city seem to be shifted from the map!
The most obvious one is this library. According to the map, it should be southwest of the TV tower!
But when I went to check it in person earlier, it appeared to the west of the TV tower.
It's as if, starting from the library, all the routes have been moved!
Although the shift is slight, a hair's breadth of difference can lead to a thousand-mile error!
The road that originally led to the interface city now directly points to a park!
It's just that I'm a guide, and I have a natural sensitivity to geographical direction. For ordinary people, they wouldn't notice such subtle changes!
After hearing Han Shuang's words, Zhang Chen gasped.
No wonder none of the teams that went to the interface city succeeded.
Because the road's direction had been altered, and it led directly into a pre-set trap. Of course, they went and never returned!
If that were the case, the combat plan they had just made was nothing more than a suicide mission.
And... if this city has problems, then the City Lord must be the one with the biggest issues.
He even participated in the combat meeting...
Hiss... This is bad!
