Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

55  Chapter 49 Unexpected_2

Although they were all surrounded by zombies, compared to the likes of Blackwater and Extreme Cold, these ordinary zombies were far less troublesome.

Adding to that, the meteorite that could be used to create weapons was obviously an item of great Yuan Force, making Tao Yu feel that just this information alone could fetch him a few thousand units of Yuan Force if he went back now.

"So... you think this place is good?"

Jack was somewhat puzzled.

"Relatively good, and I can't rule out those three guys as being mercenaries on a company task either."

Tao Yu took the initiative to mention this.

In fact, without saying it, people would surely suspect his connection to the three individuals ahead, and so far, it had always been Jack and his two combat companions following him, never letting their guard down.

Better to be candid.

"Mercenaries? There's still such a thing happening now?"

Bald Tommy was somewhat surprised, as he had been with the Marine Corps and also spent some time as a mercenary. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

And in these haunting days, they really weren't too bothered by Tao Yu's words—they were all adults with their own judgements, not inclined to judge the whole by an individual.

"Right now, it's actually hard to clarify the company's situation all at once, but once they start to establish gathering places, you'll probably understand."

Tao Yu gave out some information again, then hesitated before directly asking,

"Besides zombies, I'm actually investigating something else. You all have or had some connection with the military, I wonder if you're clear on it."

"Go ahead."

Jack was also considering what Tao Yu had said.

"It's a meteorite that can be used to manufacture weapons of mass destruction. The company wants to use it to clear out the hordes of zombies."

Different environments make things work differently!

If it were peacetime, Jack would definitely be very wary, as he was the one who nearly got silenced because of this mission.

However, later, because his superior wanted to sell this item, it wasn't strange for some large corporations to be privy to this information, some even approached to pay for it.

And now, with the world ending, there's indeed a need for something that can clear out zombies on a large scale!

When the infection was first getting out of control, some had even proposed disinfecting with nuclear bombs, but unexpectedly found that nuclear bombs had become ineffective!

And then, there was no "after" because there was no time left to research.

Tao Yu first provided some information, and now asked back, causing Jack to hesitate before he actually revealed a few details,

"I'm aware of what you're talking about. Actually, the location of that meteorite isn't too far from here. It should be about a hundred kilometers northwest of Las Vegas, at a military base."

Hearing this, Tao Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

Originally, he was pondering simply using this information to hand in for a task to exchange for some Yuan Force to spend.

But now, perhaps he could try finding it himself!

A hundred kilometers might seem long, but if there were suitable transportation and a route, it really wouldn't be much.

In this world, aside from people like Jack and Cao Shaolin, the majority were ordinary humans and zombies, perfect for him to make his move.

"Mr. Jack is aware? Then I wonder if Mr. Jack is willing to personally take me there. I have a lot of food here, willing to offer it as compensation, and I can promise to facilitate connections with the company afterward."

Tao Yu looked eagerly at Jack, making Jack hesitate for a moment.

As a former CIA special operations team member, and having been betrayed by his superior.

Hearing that Tao Yu wanted those meteorites, his initial thought was that another inherently evil company wanted to create weapons.

Only after considering the current environment did he divulge some information.

Now, Tao Yu's sincere willingness to leave behind food—a commodity of great importance in the apocalypse, regardless of the amount—was commendable in attitude.

He wasn't saying he trusted Tao Yu completely regarding the company gathering places and cleaning up zombies, but at least he thought he could give it a try!

He would make his judgment by observing during the journey.

"I can try..."

Hearing Jack's response, Tao Yu felt a rush of joy. Having someone like Jack—who had a strong sense of justice, could be generally trusted, and was capable of taking action—guide him could indeed save a lot of trouble.

But after glancing at Cao Shaolin, Tao Yu fell silent for a moment.

This profligate who took delight in killing, if left alone here, might have them all killed by the time he and Jack returned.

Strike first at night!

To maximize the cost-efficiency, he should wait until Cao Shaolin made his move, then expose and stop him in front of Jack and the others.

Reminding others of a pit in their path doesn't have as much effect as giving them a hand when they've already fallen into one.

But...

Tao Yu didn't want to do that...

...

"There's more new food."

"It's all high-energy products, enough to last a few more days at least."

"..."

Though Tao Yu had brought a lot of food, meant to replenish his strength as needed, it was still just around thirty kilograms for a person to carry.

Yet even so, this batch of food still brought a wave of joy to the people at this small gathering place.

In such a situation, nobody objected to Jack leaving for a few days.

"I also heard a radio station when I was coming here, there should be a small gathering place there as well, right?"

Tao Yu watched Bald Tommy lock the supplies in the warehouse, then turned to ask Jack beside him.

"There are actually quite a few small gathering places in the city, usually centered around hotels, apartments, supermarkets, but that radio station you mentioned is from the next door, Las Vegas."
