Chapter 50: Communication equipment
This was similar to the time when Liu Gan initially joined the game. Unexplainably, a colossal zombie also came charging in his direction, which led to the death of ten players in his squad. It also caused him to be trapped on the billboard, which was enough for him to die nine times out of ten with only one chance of escape. Perhaps, the system was sensitive to the data for his limbs, so as an attempt to patch it, the system sent a colossal zombie at him? Because he was able to stick it out through the end and kill the colossal zombie, as a result, would his body’s abnormality be accepted by the system?
Both encounters with the colossal zombie seemed to match the explanation Jiang JinYuan had given about balancing the game.
Of course, all of this was simply Liu Gan’s speculation based on the clues he was given. As to whether this theory was really true, at the moment, there wasn’t enough evidence.
“Okay, all my questions have been asked, so tell me what your plan is.” Liu Gan thought about it deeply before opening his mouth. If he had any more questions that came up later, he could always ask Jiang JinYuan while on the road with him; Liu Gan was in no rush.
“According to my PDA’s indicator, we are within Ninjing City’s residential district. San Xing Corporation’s branch for Ninjing City is only a few blocks away, and it contains a laboratory with a focus on researching biochemical intelligence.
“First, let’s go to the closest laboratory and figure things out from there. That way you can secure some more practical benefits for me from the laboratory.” Liu Gan agreed to escort Jiang JinYuan to the closest laboratory only if it was beneficial to him.
Liu Gan currently had three different ID cards from San Xing Corporation, a strange vial, and a USB drive. If he hadn’t met Jiang JinYuan, he would have still headed towards San Xing Corporation’s large building to test his luck. However, if he went alone he would have achieved limited success because he didn’t understand the way technology worked in San Xing Corporation. Now that he had procured a guide, Jiang JinYuan’s familiarity with the corporation would come in handy. So if he traveled with Jiang JinYuan to the laboratory, it would be like a treasure hunt.
[TN: Liu Gan doesn’t know the vial is an incubator bottle yet.]
“Oh, you knew there was a location?” Jiang JinYuan, seeing that Liu Gan agreed to escort him, was undeniably happy.
Even though Liu Gan only temporarily agreed to escort him to San Xing Corporation’s closest laboratory, Jiang JinYuan was very satisfied with this outcome. Jiang JinYuan still needed to think of a way to reach the main city’s laboratory. His handheld PDA had something the main city’s laboratory needed urgently, so as long as he sent a request to the main city’s laboratory, they would definitely send out a ship or an aircraft to pick him up.
“I came from that direction. It was close to a hundred-story building and corpse tide, so we must proceed with caution.” Liu Gan nodded as he grabbed Jiang JinYuan’s PDA to look at.
“We shouldn’t rush with the corpse tide; instead, if we investigate nearby maybe we can avoid it.” Jiang JinYuan replied to Liu Gan.
“What else can this thing take readings of?” Liu Gan suddenly had an idea and asked Jiang JinYuan.
Jiang JinYuan took out the trumpet-like detector extension and connected it with the PDA. After turning it on and pointing it all around his surroundings, the probe generated new data on the handheld PDA’s monitor.
“These three green dots represent us three, right?” Liu Gan pointed at the monitor of the PDA as he asked Jiang JinYuan the question. Sooner or later, he would find a way to obtain this probing device from the hands of Jiang JinYuan, so it would best if he figured out the functions early.
“You are correct.” Jiang JinYuan nodded.
