We’re discussing how to distribute this medicine—don’t interrupt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su reacted instantly, seeing Chen Hanzhou about to slip up, and immediately cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hanzhou wasn’t stupid; he saw Zhang Su’s reaction and knew the Program One matter couldn’t be exposed—most likely, Fu Wei’s army couldn’t find out…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su and Chen Hanzhou weren’t fools—was Fu Wei? He instantly picked up on the discrepancy and asked bluntly, without hiding it: “Mr. Zhang, what did Xiao Chen just mean by ‘Program One’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll talk about Program One later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Fu Wei asked directly, Zhang Su chose to answer directly with silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook the self-sealing bag in his hand: “Now we’re discussing medicine distribution—why is everyone constantly interrupting? What are you thinking? I was strongly against democracy before, but on this matter, I won’t make the decision—I leave it to you. Even if you three rock-paper-scissors for it, I won’t interfere!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhang Su pulled out a cigarette, walked to the window, lit it, looked at the group, and added, \"You can negotiate however you like, but no use of force!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group couldn’t help laughing—using force was absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shu Ge, I’d like to ask—where exactly does this substance come from? Is there no chance to obtain more?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hanzhou wanted to clarify the situation first before deciding whether to compete for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su felt some things couldn’t be hidden, so he said: “You’re not unfamiliar with this stuff—in fact, you played a part in its discovery. It was extracted from the liquefied gas zombie’s body. Don’t even think about regular zombies or ordinary mutated ones—they don’t produce it. We suspect only zombies with extremely high mutation levels can generate this kind of… organ.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good heavens, this… this is from a zombie’s body? Too, too unbelievable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hui had assumed it was some divine medicine born of heaven’s qi, never imagining it was torn from the very zombies she despised—her broken leg was caused by zombies, and now the hope of regrowing her limb came from them too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Zhang Su, Chen Hanzhou’s expression turned strange; he pointed toward the parking lot: “Then the fire-spewing zombie…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Both I and Dr. Xie believe the fire-spewing zombie likely carries an organ of this quality. But to be frank—even if I lost an arm, I’d never consider attacking the fire-spewing zombie!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Zhang Su’s honest thought: the fire-spewing zombie was far too vital to the camp—for development, defense, and especially since acquiring the black crystals, its value had skyrocketed. The three fell silent. They were confident, but not arrogant—they knew their place in the camp, but could never outweigh the leader’s weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if… we split it three ways and take a gamble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hui offered her suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, no…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhang Su could speak, Chen Hanzhou and Fu Wei both objected immediately—especially Fu Wei, without hesitation, firmly and decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gentlemen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shouting, Fu Wei shifted tone, turning his wheelchair toward Chen Hanzhou and Qiu Hui: “To be honest, I discovered this substance and verified its effects. Mr. Zhang had already promised me one dose beforehand. Please, let me have it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stating facts, citing achievements, invoking authority—he pulled out all the stops. Fu Wei refused to miss this chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su didn’t intervene, because Fu Wei hadn’t exaggerated a single word—he had given his word, and Zhang Su couldn’t interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hui smiled and shrugged: “I’m not in such a hurry to regain my leg—I don’t need to run. If Dr. Fu can stand again, I’ll just take his wheelchair. Xiao Chen, I’ll give you the other dose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Fu Wei’s forcefulness, Qiu Hui’s generosity and humility seemed noble—but at this moment, no one would use morality to bind anyone. Striving was human nature; yielding was grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hanzhou lowered his head in silence, moving his mechanical prosthetic limb, its joints clicking and clacking. It had once been smooth, but after prolonged use, some connections had grown stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t accept Qiu Hui’s offer, but turned to Zhang Su: “Shu Ge, the Golden Legend is hard to obtain—but… it shouldn’t be gone forever, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su took a deep drag from his cigarette, the tobacco burning quickly; he exhaled slowly as he thought: “Remember that horde of over a hundred thousand zombies in the northeast of the barracks, the one that entered Qincheng? There was one mutated zombie among them that could remotely disrupt drones…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think its mutation level was high enough. But unfortunately, our scouts who went into the city found those zombies had been displaced by shockwaves and were moving southwest—they won’t be coming our way anytime soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t directly answer Chen Hanzhou’s question, but gave the implied answer: even if another chance existed to obtain the Golden Legend, it would be extremely difficult—and far in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then can I apply to hunt down that unknown mutated zombie?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hanzhou was completely unaware of the danger; his eyes gleamed with battle lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su’s lip twitched—he asked himself: had the camp’s population surge made him grow complacent, softening his fighting spirit? He’d never even considered such a bold plan before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Chen, don’t risk yourself—I really don’t need to recover quickly. Take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hui sensed Chen Hanzhou’s intent—whether he planned to take the dose for himself and find another for her, or refused her generosity and intended to hunt the mutated zombie himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hanzhou smiled politely and shook his head—still refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su frowned: “Your idea is too reckless. I don’t approve. The situation is too complex—we know nothing. It’s no different from suicide. And… aren’t you being overconfident?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly where Chen Hanzhou’s confidence came from—had he improved again these past few days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not overconfident, Shu Ge… We don’t know the situation now, but we can scout it. If Qiu Hui’s legs are restored, she won’t be detected by zombies—she could infiltrate the horde easily!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hanzhou finally revealed his true intention and plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Qiu Hui’s generosity hid ulterior motives, the others didn’t know—but Chen Hanzhou’s kindness had conditions. He could give the golden cerebrum to Qiu Hui, but she had to help scout the mutated zombie’s intelligence—that was the exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d also considered taking the opportunity himself, but as Zhang Su said, without knowing anything, even if his arm was restored, his combat power wouldn’t improve much—intelligence mattered far more! In a sense, Chen Hanzhou was considering the camp’s overall interests—he showed a degree of strategic vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su didn’t respond immediately. He clearly sensed Chen Hanzhou had changed—though he’d never used his [Insight Tag] on Chen Hanzhou, years of interaction had given him deep insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the Chen Hanzhou he knew. Why the change? It was easy to understand—it must be due to the mysterious energy inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered, Zhang Su released a [Insight Tag] toward Chen Hanzhou—but three bubbles left him utterly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【？？？】【？？？】【？？？】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is this? Zhang Su quickly pretended his eyes itched, took off his aviator sunglasses, and rubbed his corners—hiding his uncontrollable expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Insight Tag], always reliable, had failed. It didn’t deliver useful data—but the information it gave was even greater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Target invalid, usage reclaimed, 8\u002F20】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su exhaled slowly. Shocked, yet oddly pleased—it hadn’t consumed a use, and still respected the rules!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1274,"2026-06-20T15:15:17.100Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1603b7e94ea9bb973669a14a923f329bc181ea3f8a02504ddc6f2eb49ff132e3","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-678","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-676",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
