Chapter 36: Zhang Yi's Home Field
When Wu Zong heard Zhang Yi propose a deal, he didn't speak in a hurry, but set his eyes on him.
When Zhang saw Wu Zong looking at him, he said that there was a play, and said, "It can be seen that you are not bad." β
"I'm trained. Wu Zong was not pretending to be modest, and nodded.
Zhang Yi looked at Wu Zong with deep meaning: "There are also cameras outside the building, and they are also night vision. β
Zhang Yi was telling the truth, when Wu Zong and his party came over before, the picture of Wu Zong putting down eight zombies by himself was fully seen by Zhang Yi, and he knew that this kind of skill was definitely not something ordinary people could have.
Zhang Yi had faced zombies when the disaster broke out, he knew very well how strong the zombies were that were beyond ordinary people, he and his three friends worked together to fight against a zombie, even if there was such a huge disparity in the number of four to one, he still paid the tragic price of two friends being killed on the spot, and one friend being infected and dying, so that he could kill the monster.
And Wu Zong himself cleared the zombies along the way like a ghost, which really surprised him, and even said that he doubted - he suspected that Wu Zong was not a human in the conventional sense at all, although this suspicion seemed very unfounded.
Zhang Yi's words were very level, he didn't directly pick it out, but hinted at Wu Zong.
Of course, Wu Zong knew what Zhang Yi meant, but he was not ready to tell Zhang Yi about the nuclear enhancement, and he hoped in his heart that the less people knew about the nuclear enhancement, the better.
"It's just a matter of luck. Wu Zong replied perfunctorily.
Seeing that Wu Zong was unwilling to reveal anything to himself, Zhang Yi did not continue to ask without interest.
He lowered his head in silence and walked forward a few steps, then sighed, looked at Wu Zong and opened his mouth, and then the expression on his face became a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to speak but was a little embarrassed.
Wu Zong saw the unnatural expression on Zhang Yi's face, and said, "If there is anything, just say it directly." β
Hearing Wu Zong's words, Zhang Yi pondered it carefully, and finally spoke: "To tell you the truth, the boxes of instant bento you just ate are our last stockpile. β
Then, Zhang Yi hurriedly added: "Of course, I shouldn't have said this, but now I am very happy to meet living people, at least this will let us know that we are not the only remaining human beings in the world." β
"But," Zhang Yi stopped, spread his hands, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "But unfortunately, the two people we sent out a week ago to search for food have not come back yet, and we are already facing a shortage of food." β
Wu Zong also stopped, and nodded without seeming to think about it: "Very reasonable proposal, I am willing to do my best to help you tide over the difficulties." β
Zhang Yi didn't expect Wu Zong to agree so happily, his face was happy, and he was about to thank him but was interrupted by Wu Zong.
"But I have one condition. Wu Zong said.
Zhang Yi thought that Wu Zong wanted to be the boss, which was unbelievable for him who had no leadership skills, so he immediately nodded without thinking about it: "You say." β
"A few of them are going to stay here," Wu Zong pointed to the room where Li Bing and the others were in the distance.
Wu Zong's condition was obviously a bit beyond Zhang Yi's expectations, he originally thought that Wu Zong and they said that they were 'staying overnight', but to be honest, their conditions here were already very favorable in the last days, he originally thought that Wu Zong and his party would be stationed here, but in any case, he didn't expect Wu Zong to put forward this condition, he couldn't help but be stunned, and wondered: "What about you?"
"I'm going to do something, as little as a few days, as much as half a month. Wu Zong said: "I will prepare food for you for half a month, and even if I can't do anything after half a month, I will come back." β
In fact, Wu Zong's so-called 'condition' can be said to be beneficial and harmless, this is not even a condition for Zhang Yi at all, Li Bing and a few people living here are nothing more than tidying up a few more rooms, and he has already had a psychological expectation for this.
For Zhang Yi, to put it mildly, he was simply 'prostituting' food in Wu Zong's hands for two weeks.
Although Zhang Yi felt that this skilled person was quite mysterious, and it seemed that he was carrying a lot of things on him, Zhang Yi also knew that those had nothing to do with him, and Wu Zong didn't seem to want to say more, so he nodded and agreed after a little thought.
"Seven plus four, eleven people, and a child," Wu Zong smacked his lips, calculated, and said to Zhang Yi: "I should be able to prepare it for you tomorrow." β
"Not so much," Zhang Yi interrupted Wu Zong, "We actually only have five people now, four men and one woman. β
"Didn't you say there were seven before?" Wu Zong frowned.
"Originally, there were seven people," Zhang Yi's mood was a little depressed when he said this: "But a week ago, two of our companions went out to look for food, and then they lost contact, and they haven't come back until now, and I searched many times with a drone but didn't find them." β
Wu Zong suddenly said that before he saw the corpse, Zhang Yida didn't want to admit in his heart that the two people disappeared without even saying hello, so he kept claiming that they were a seven-person team, and he still had a slim hope that they could come back.
Sure enough, Zhang Yi then said: "There's no need to prepare them, we'll give them some when they come back." β
Wu Zong didn't refute him, he knew that there was no need for this, and he was not the kind of spiritual pillar protagonist in the movie, so there was no need to wake up Zhang Yi and tell him that the two missing people would never come back.
Zhang Yi is a normal person, he has no mental problems, he just needs this hope as a spiritual comfort in the last days.
"Deal. Wu Zong stretched out a hand and stretched out his palm to swear by Zhang Yi.
But the strange thing is that Zhang Yi did not rush to high-five himself, but raised his eyes and looked at himself fixedly, which made Wu Zong feel a little strange: "Is there any other problem?" β
Zhang Yi glanced Wu Zong up and down, then his gaze fell on his left arm, then looked at him again, hesitated and said, "Actually, my so-called transaction before didn't refer to this. β
Wu Zong was a little confused by what Zhang Yi said: "What do you mean?"
"I mean," Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow and then looked at Wu Zong's left arm, "If you're interested, I can bring you a more interesting reward." β
"If it's convenient," Zhang Yi's gaze fell back on Wu Zong's face, "I want to know what the situation is with your left hand." β
Hearing this, Wu Zong couldn't help frowning, his vigilance in his heart increased greatly, and his body didn't move, but the muscles in his body were slowly tense: "I don't think it's convenient." β
Zhang Yi looked at Wu Zong's expression, knowing that he had misunderstood what he meant, he waved his hand, and the rivets on his body rang out: "I didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, I noticed that your left hand couldn't move, I just thought, maybe I can help you and make it move again." β
As he spoke, Zhang Yi also raised his left hand, hooked his five fingers and shook it in front of Wu Zong.
But then, as if realizing that his action seemed to be a bit discriminatory, he coughed in embarrassment, put his hands behind the back of his head and scratched his head.
Wu Zong was obviously not a person who cared about these details, and he grasped the point of Zhang Yi's words: "Remove?"
"That's right," Zhang Yi shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows again, looking a little smug on his face.
This sentence undoubtedly attracted Wu Zong, you know, since the cannon of liquid nitrogen was pinched and exploded during the battle against the splicer, this damaged arm really brought a lot of trouble to Wu Zong, if it is really as Zhang Yi said, his arm can move again, it is undoubtedly a great news, anyway, it is much more convenient to move a little than to hang it on the shoulder like this.
If he doesn't ask for anything else, at least he can free his right hand to fight when he is holding Xiao An, and he is already satisfied.
Wu Zong thought to himself.
Seeing that Wu Zong hesitated, Zhang Yi struck while the iron was hot, patted Wu Zong's shoulder, and pointed to a metal door in front of him: "You can take a look first, and then it's not too late to make a decision." β
Wu Zong was suspicious and walked over with Zhang Yi.
With a 'snort', the sturdy door made of broken copper and iron opened in response, Wu Zong noticed that the moment he stepped into the door, Zhang Yi seemed to be a different person, the calm and melancholy seemed to disappear in an instant, and he seemed to see the flickering light in Zhang Yi's eyes.
He was like a footballer who had just returned to his home stadium after a bad football game from a distant place, hearing the enthusiastic applause of his fans from all sides, as if this small room was his real home stadium.
Then, Zhang Yi clapped his hands.
The energy-saving lamps overhead lit up one after another, Rao is Wu Zong had always been calm and calm, but at this moment, his eyes unconsciously widened, and his face was full of shock.
On the left side of the room were four computers, full of codes that Wu Zong couldn't understand, and in addition to these four computers, there was also a welding mask on the table. Next to the table was a huge chassis with a ceiling high, and looking to the side, there were all kinds of tools hanging on the wall that Wu Zong could or couldn't name.
In the gaps between the walls and ceilings, there are also various foam boards and soundproof cotton.
The floor was densely packed, some of the threads of various colors were tied up, some were even scattered on the ground, and although all the threads were messy, they were all gathered in one placeβa transparent plexiglass cube hanging on the wall in the middle of the room.
Countless wires converged in the cube, and finally re-separated into six neat bundles of wires that extended to the center of the room, and on the ground in the center of the room, a smooth steel plate four meters square and about three or four centimeters high protruded.
It is unbelievable that Zhang Yi actually built a mechanical engineering laboratory in a month, under the condition of the last days, with the few resources at hand!
If these things were not enough to shock the well-informed Wu Zong, then what really surprised him was the equipment around this rectangular steel plate-
Six robotic arms composed of dense stub copper pipes and rusty iron pipes are as soft and flexible as plastic water pipes.
At the moment when the lights came on, Wu Zong clearly saw that these six mechanical arms were like alarmed ringed snakes, and at the same time turned their heads and 'looked' at themselves as if they were alive!
