As Lu Heng brought Evan into the base, Sun Qiang, who had been quiet in the research center, became agitated again.
However, once Lu Heng led Evan into the metal room, Sun Qiang calmed down.
Even so, the guards watching Sun Qiang reported his anomaly.
Soon, Lin Yu arrived at the research center.
"What's wrong with Sun Qiang again?"
"It's similar to the last time he was agitated, but for some reason, he's quiet now."
Li Pei Qiang followed behind Lin Yu, reporting Sun Qiang's abnormal situation.
"Let's go take a look."
"Are you still the only one guarding here?"
Arriving at the room where Sun Qiang was located, Sun Qiang was quietly crouching by the metal fence.
"Yes, Chen Dong said there's no need for many people here. This zombie is usually very quiet, and it cooperates when I take samples."
"Sun Qiang, what happened just now? Did you have any special feelings?"
The last time this happened was when the alien Borah approached Wuming City, and Sun Qiang reacted so strongly.
Hopefully, this time it's not another uninvited alien.
Sun Qiang slowly raised his head. Although the intense struggle just now wasn't long, it was very draining.
Sun Qiang raised his head, first nodding in Lin Yu's direction, then shaking his head.
"What does that mean?"
Lin Yu was a bit confused. Although Sun Qiang could understand human language, due to still being in a zombie state, he couldn't express his thoughts to humans.
"It means something like last time was approaching here, but then it disappeared."
"You can understand it?"
"Roughly, I'm guessing. But I train it every day, and sometimes we interact."
"What are you training it for?"
"I'm just curious about zombies. The zombies outside don't have its intelligence. It also seems very interested in human items, so I wanted to see if it could return to its state before becoming a zombie."
"Alright, but all your research must be reported to Chen Dong. This is not a place for you to conduct private research. All research objectives and results must be reported."
"I know. I reported to Chen Dong before I started. It's just that this research hasn't yielded any results yet, so the center might not have reported it to the management."
"Mm."
Lin Yu squatted in front of Sun Qiang, who was also quietly watching him.
"When did it get agitated? Did you record the time?"
"Around 14:21."
"Okay, give it some more water. It must be tired."
Such frantic banging and struggling would consume energy even for a zombie, even if they didn't feel it.
Lin Yu gave some more instructions and then left the room where Sun Qiang was held.
He needed to make arrangements for people to observe outside the city for any abnormal zombie activity nearby.
As he left the research center, the guard at the entrance greeted him.
"City Lord Lin, are you leaving already? Why didn't you go with City Lord Lu?"
"Brother Lu is here?"
"Yes? Didn't you see him?"
The person guarding the entrance of the research center thought Lin Yu had come to find Lu Heng.
However, when Lin Yu entered earlier, he was very anxious, and the guard didn't have a chance to greet him.
"Where did he go? Who did he come with?"
"I don't know. He drove here and waved at me when he passed, so I recognized him."
Normally, Lu Heng rarely drove here, which is why Lu Heng had proactively greeted the doorman this time.
"What color was the car?"
"A black SUV."
"Right, when did he arrive?"
"About ten minutes ago."
Lin Yu immediately turned around and headed back into the base.
Lu Heng probably hadn't left normally, otherwise the guard wouldn't have been unaware.
As long as he could find Lu Heng's car, he would know where Lu Heng went, and it wouldn't be difficult to find.
Then Lin Yu started searching around the research center and finally arrived in front of the house brought from Country Y, where he saw a black SUV.
—Why did Brother Lu come here?
Looking around, Lin Yu couldn't find Lu Heng.
The key to entering the building was still in the alien's communicator, which he held.
Lu Heng didn't have a key and couldn't get in.
But Lu Heng's car was parked here, and he was nowhere to be found.
—Did he go back to his space?
He found a few people nearby and asked them. Lin Yu learned that Lu Heng had indeed come and had even brought a strange person into the building.
Lin Yu took out the alien communicator from his storage ring and walked to the entrance of the small building.
As long as he found Lu Heng inside, he would know. He wanted to tell Lu Heng about Sun Qiang's recent abnormality.
With the communicator, all the doors inside could be opened normally, and Lin Yu walked in without any hindrance.
He had come here with others a few times before, and the layout inside was easy to navigate.
However, Lu Heng and Evan had entered that special room, and Lin Yu couldn't find Lu Heng anywhere else.
"Why isn't he here?"
Lin Yu couldn't figure it out. Logically, Lu Heng wouldn't easily enter his space when others were around.
Up to this point, only Lin Yu knew about his space.
After searching around again, Lin Yu finally left helplessly.
When he came out, he saw Lu Heng's car still parked outside the building.
"Come here for a moment and wait here. If City Lord Lu comes to drive away, tell him I'm looking for him."
Lin Yu found someone to wait outside Lu Heng's car. If Lu Heng came to drive later, he could inform him that Lin Yu was looking for him.
He now needed to go to the city gate to make arrangements. If there was any zombie activity, he would need to take preventive measures as soon as possible.
Lu Heng, who was with Evan, had no idea that Lin Yu was looking for him.
At this moment, he was fully focused on listening to Evan explain the equipment in the room.
These were things Evan had tinkered with himself. It had connected some accessories removed from the spaceship with some computer equipment from Blue Star.
However, the equipment on Blue Star was still too technologically backward. Even when connected, it didn't meet its requirements.
"It would be great if I could get a motherboard from Senal Star."
"What does it look like? What's its use?"
"The computation and processing would be faster. I need to write some programs. It looks like this."
Then Evan described the appearance of the motherboard to Lu Heng.
"Besides the motherboard, what else is missing?"
"A lot of things. To have normal computation, this equipment is not enough. If I could go to Kando, I should be able to find a lot of useful equipment."
"Can you go to Kando?"
"No. My spaceship is lost, unless I can find another Senal Star spaceship on Blue Star."
"If the Senal Star people saw you like this, they would probably want to dismantle you immediately."
