Fifth Brother was stunned, his subordinates were stunned, Teacher Park and Liang Chuyin were also stunned; everyone was in shock.
The crystal's… effect?
No one was blind; the glaring crystal on the zombie's forehead was right there, and it was impossible not to be curious about it.
But no one knew what those crystals could do.
While the students were only slightly puzzled, Fifth Brother had a strong obsession with this thing. Why did he risk offending dozens of teachers and students to demand Liang Chuyin and Liu Tiao? Was it not because he wanted to figure out the purpose of the crystal?
Now, someone was telling him they knew the answer, and Fifth Brother's eyes reddened.
“Quick, tell me!”
Grabbing Tong Lei by the collar, Fifth Brother almost roared.
“That, that thing, the crystal, should be used to rotate a special wheel.”
Hmm?
Everyone fell silent, not really understanding Tong Lei's meaning.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Tong Lei explained, “When I went to the supermarket earlier, I found a wheel over two meters tall inside, and it had many shapes on it. In the center of the wheel, there was a piece of crystal just like the one on the zombie's head, except it was a different size. Below the wheel was, um, what seemed to be a power device, with grooves that were shaped exactly like the crystal.”
After pausing for a moment, Tong Lei continued, “I think these crystals are the energy source for rotating that kind of wheel.”
The entire armed department fell into silence, each person shaken by Tong Lei's words.
This kind of crystal? An energy source? A wheel? Rotation?
To anyone who had never seen a wheel, this was quite unbelievable.
“Are you sure?”
Fifth Brother gasped for breath, glaring at Tong Lei, “What shapes are on the wheel?”
Tong Lei shook his head, “It was a bit far away, and when I wanted to see it more clearly, the zombies came, so I had to leave.”
Fifth Brother lowered his head, squinting, seemingly lost in thought. His subordinates dared not disturb him and just stood by.
“I have a suggestion; I wonder if Fifth Brother is interested!”
“Who?!”
Fifth Brother suddenly looked up, the gun he had taken from Tong Lei pointing towards the source of the voice. Someone was walking over with both hands raised.
“Zhang Wu, once a bodyguard next to Master Duan, later took the blame for Master Duan and spent five years in prison. After getting out, he became the boss of Nanping District. Did I say anything wrong?”
The candlelight illuminated the face of this person, revealing the nasal-voiced man who had previously betrayed Mo Ye.
“Who are you?” Fifth Brother's finger was already on the trigger, ready to pull it at any moment.
The nasal-voiced man's pupils dilated slightly, smiling as he said, “Just a passerby, earning some money for lives. The incident at the Third Bridge was related to Master Duan; I wonder if Fifth Brother still remembers?”
Fifth Brother suddenly realized, his heart jumping. When Master Duan was competing for that multi-hundred million project at the Third Bridge, he used some underhanded and vicious means to win against his opponents. This person must have been one of those who acted at that time.
Though Fifth Brother was fierce, he never felt he could be more ruthless than someone who sold their life for money, instantly weakening his imposing aura.
“I’m also very interested in the crystals. How about we cooperate and get to the bottom of things at the supermarket?”
“There are zombies everywhere; how do we go?”
“There are so many people here; we can distract the zombies no matter what we do, right? What do you say, Fifth Brother?”
The two spoke in turns, and Fifth Brother gradually started to make a decision, casting a less favorable glance at the group of teachers and students.
Seeing Fifth Brother's interest, the nasal-voiced man chuckled, “However, to express my sincerity, I have a gift for Fifth Brother before we cooperate.”
Fifth Brother raised an eyebrow, “What gift?”
