Chapter 376: What is

"What are you all doing? Eat!"

Seeing that the scene was too awkward, Zhang Su shouted, then gently picked up a spoon and started to eat. There was no other way; his hands were shaking too much to use chopsticks properly.

"Hey, don't push yourself. You're already this tired, what's the point of training at night? Are you trying to cripple yourself!"

Zheng Xin and Zhong Xiaoshan sat in front of Zhang Su with concerned expressions and whispered.

Since the disaster broke out, she had never seen Zhang Su so tired in any of the fierce battles they had been through.

Zhong Xiaoshan nodded and said, "It's relatively peaceful here now, and there's plenty of time. Don't rush to injure yourself, just in case!"

Both of them knew that Zhang Su was very cautious. Even in daily training, he wouldn't let everyone practice until they were exhausted, insisting on retaining enough strength to deal with emergencies. But why was he so desperate himself?

"What, even you two don't think highly of me? Heh, just wait and see. Tonight, I'll take on both of you!"

Zhang Su's slightly trembling hands looked like those of a Parkinson's patient in recovery, and the bold words he spoke had no deterrent power at all, revealing a bit of ridiculousness.

"Stop talking big, let me feed you!"

Zheng Xin really couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed away the tray in front of her and reached out to take the spoon from Zhang Su's hand.

"No, don't, I'll do it myself. What would it look like if others saw? Don't you remember the image project Xiaoshan talked about?"

Zhang Su shook his head repeatedly. The dignified leader of Tianma Island was beaten down by an island nation woman, and even had to be fed by his wife while eating. What would others think if they found out?

A thought moved in his mind, and a brand-new energy bar was activated!

Instantly, his muscles stopped aching, his tendons stopped shaking, and even his bones were filled with power.

"Hmm?"

Zheng Xin and Zhong Xiaoshan both opened their eyes wide at the same time.

The change from being exhausted to being full of energy was very obvious, and even deliberate concealment would leave heavy traces, not to mention that Zhang Su wasn't deliberately putting on an act.

In the blink of an eye, the person in front of them turned from a frostbitten eggplant into a spring bamboo after the rain, and a brand-new feeling burst forth.

"You..."

Zheng Xin widened her eyes and then frowned slightly, finally nodding in realization, raising a bad smile. This guy must have deliberately pretended to be unable to hold on to confuse Ju Wuying!

Zhong Xiaoshan naturally noticed the problem too. This performance was what Zhang Su should look like; he was indeed the same him as before!

However, it wasn't just Zheng Xin and Zhong Xiaoshan sitting opposite who noticed Zhang Su's change. Ju Wuying, who was sitting across a table, also felt the problem.

The moment Zhang Su radiated energy, Ju Wuying stopped eating, then slowly turned her head to look at Zhang Su, her eyes filled with thick disbelief and thoughtfulness.

The magical scene clearly broke her understanding of human limits!

"Interesting!"

"Hmm?" Hearing Ju Wuying's muttering, Yi Xiaoling tilted her head and asked her in a voice like a mosquito, "What's interesting?"

Ju Wuying didn't speak, shook her head with a faint smile, unscrewed her water bottle and took a sip of wine, then lowered her head to eat.

Hu...

The weird situation was broken when the dining hall door was opened. A wheelchair was pushed into the door, and it was the laboratory trio who arrived.

"Mr. Zhang!"

As if he couldn't feel the weird atmosphere at all, Fu Weijun saw Zhang Su as soon as he entered the dining hall, waved to greet him, and then hurriedly turned his wheelchair to move toward Zhang Su.

"Slow down!"

Duan Wuhu followed two steps and shook his head helplessly.

"Mr. Zhang, I've been looking for you all afternoon... Well, the route map has been drawn. There are several docks for going to sea. You can consider it according to the specific situation. Um, there are also many choices for the route from here to the Beihe District. I believe you know better than me. I mainly wrote down the situation of the laboratory."

Fu Weijun sat at Zhang Su's dining table, took out a notebook, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Zhang Su.

Zhang Su found it funny. At any time, in any place, as long as Fu Weijun appeared, all environmental emotions would be swept away. In his world, there was only focus; focused people didn't care about anything else.

He picked up the notebook and flipped through it roughly. It contained a lot of content and was attached with pictures, indicating the priority of equipment and instruments. He closed the notebook and smiled. "Alright, Dr. Fu, eat first. Even if we go, it will take some time to prepare, so don't be anxious."

Even without referring to the map, Zhang Su knew that this trip was at least 70 or 80 kilometers away, passing through many areas that used to be densely populated. How could it be easy to make a round trip!

"Alright, then everything is entrusted to Mr. Zhang!"

Fu Weijun nodded heavily, knowing that urging was useless, smiled politely, and pushed his wheelchair away.

Because of the arrival of the laboratory trio, the dining hall soon returned to its original atmosphere.

After using the energy bar, Zhang Su was full of energy and swept his tray clean like a whirlwind. If he hadn't considered that he still had to train at night, he would have wanted another tray!

"Are you really going?"

Zheng Xin looked at Zhang Su finishing his dinner with a weird expression.

"Going!" Zhang Su wiped his mouth, stood up, and said to Ju Wuying, "I'll wait for you!"

After saying that, he walked toward the door, whistling happily, a completely different person from when he came in.

Zheng Xin and Zhong Xiaoshan rolled their eyes in unison and chose to continue eating; neither of them had really touched their food.

Ju Wuying watched Zhang Su leave, her eyes full of thoughtfulness. She didn't understand.

Everyone in the dining hall pretended to know nothing and ignored Zhang Su's departure. Even if he closed the dining hall door, they didn't dare to discuss it easily, because the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were still sitting there...

Jingxin Garden, the highest-located shop in the Tianma Island homestay group, was a full 400 to 500 meters away from the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area. Next door was the place where chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep were kept. Usually, only people feeding livestock came here to clean up, and it was currently the only idle homestay.

Zhang Su came to the small garden provided for guests in Jingxin Garden. Everything was quiet all around. Even with his superior hearing, he couldn't hear the noise of the dining hall from a distance of 300 meters.

Sitting cross-legged on a stone table, he took a deep breath and began to train according to the method Ju Wuying taught.

"Hey!"

Full of energy, it was easy to strike a very difficult and strange posture, and he didn't feel that exhausting.

However, the moment Zhang Su closed his eyes, he immediately opened them again.

"What's going on?"

Just when he closed his eyes, he had a very strange feeling. The air around him seemed to turn into thin mist, lingering and drifting around his body. He opened his eyes suddenly, and everything was normal!

Whether it was a hallucination was easy to test. He only needed to close his eyes, thin mist, then open them, normal, close his eyes, open them. After repeating it several times, he confirmed it wasn't a hallucination!

"This damn thing isn't right!" Zhang Su sat on the stone table, propped his chin, and muttered, "Is the thin mist a normal situation? Hmm? Just right, ask her!"

Just as Zhang Su was guessing blindly, a footstep sound came into his ears, and after a while, another one sounded. Yi Xiaoling and Ju Wuying's footsteps were light and heavy, easy to distinguish.

"It's so dark, Brother Zhang, turn on a light."

The two walked into Jingxin Garden. Yi Xiaoling scanned with a flashlight and saw Zhang Su sitting on the table, which startled her. Although zombies were rampant now, she still had some fear of ghosts and monsters in her heart.

"The light is in the house, go turn it on yourself."

Zhang Su pointed to the house.

"Xiao Ju, accompany me..."

Yi Xiaoling pulled Ju Wuying into the house to turn on the light. The two lanterns hanging under the eaves lit up, emitting a soft radiance that illuminated the small courtyard hazily.

"Come, come, Sakura, I have something to ask you!"

Zhang Su waited for the two to walk over and waved at Ju Wuying. He didn't look like a student at all, actually letting the teacher walk up to listen to the question...

Ju Wuying walked slowly to Zhang Su, looked him up and down with clear eyes, and said slowly, "You, make me, feel surprised."

"Hey, damn it!" Zhang Su smiled with a weird expression. "You damn well make me quite surprised too. You can speak our language in just two days. You must have learned it in advance, right?"

He had asked Ju Wuying to communicate with people in Chinese after a week, but he didn't expect the other party to complete the task in just two days.

"Yeah, Xiao Ju she..."

"This, is not important, you, why, recover so fast?"

Ju Wuying waved her hand at Yi Xiaoling. She didn't want to tell Zhang Su that she had actually been secretly learning Chinese for more than a month. She didn't want others to know the effort she had put in behind the scenes. She hadn't said anything before because she wasn't fluent yet. Now she was willing to communicate with the other party in less-than-fluent pronunciation, mainly because she was eager to know Zhang Su's secret.

Zhang Su scanned the 99% energy bar in his mind, curled his lips, and smiled. He spread his hands and said, "Fast? Are you sure the afternoon training made me exhausted? I think you might have thought too much. Ju family martial arts wouldn't hollow me out!"

Ju Wuying squeezed her eyebrows together, frowned, and shook her head slightly. "No, you were very, exhausted, in the afternoon. No reason, you could still persist."

"You're so long-winded. Don't worry about whether I'm tired or not. I already said continue at night. This training intensity of yours is nothing. Let me ask you something serious!"

Zhang Su waved his hand, then said seriously, "Just now when I was practicing the meditation posture, as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt thin white mist all around. What's the situation? I wouldn't have gone into demonic deviation, would I?"

"Impossible!"

Before, Ju Wuying had never spoken loudly, but this time she was obviously a bit out of character, her tone rising, which startled Yi Xiaoling who was sitting to the side.

"No, what do you mean by being startled? I thought you were quite steady before, and a bit like a martial artist. Now your image has been greatly reduced!"

Zhang Su frowned with great dissatisfaction. The look of contempt made people very angry when they saw it.

Ju Wuying didn't care about Zhang Su's criticism at all, frowned, and said, "Can, you detail, your situation just now?"
