"Zhou Xiong, you don't understand one thing. If I wanted to kill you, I would only make you disappear silently. I'm telling you honestly because I want you to understand that you've made me very conflicted, and I'm conflicted only about your ability, not your person. You're doing very well now, but how can you promise me that you'll continue to be like this?
When a person reaches a certain position and ability, they'll change, so how can you … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang's words could be considered to be sincere. When Zhou Xiong faced the giant bird, he didn't make too big of a mistake. There was nothing he could do about the loss of people, and he wanted to protect the fruit for his own sake. Although he didn't inform him at the first instance, under the circumstances last night, even if he did inform him, it might not have been of any use. To be able to achieve such a result, Zhang Xiaoqiang was already very satisfied, so he didn't want to ask for more.
Zhang Xiaoqiang judged others by himself. He believed that Zhou Xiong had done a meritorious deed, and meritorious deeds must be rewarded. However, Zhou Xiong still didn't make him feel at ease, so he simply told him about Zhou Xiong's problem and let Zhou Xiong decide his own future path.
Zhou Xiong immediately stopped crying. He heard some things from Zhang Xiaoqiang's words. For someone like him who cherished his own life, he was especially sensitive to anything that was related to his life.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang told me these things because he treats me as one of his own. I, Zhou Xiong, was originally a useless nobody. I used to be a stinky bug that everyone trampled on. Only in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands could I live like a human. Now that I have a wife, I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I'm better than most people. If Zhang Xiaoqiang is afraid that I can't control myself, then send me to Sumu Town. Even if I can't control myself, I won't cause any big problems. I'll just farm there …"
Zhou Xiong's first thought was to send himself away. Sumu Town was a tough place, but as long as he could stay alive, he could endure any hardship. He had even prepared himself that if his wife couldn't take it and ran away, he would use his ability to hook up with another woman. After all, these were small matters that Zhang Xiaoqiang wouldn't blame him.
When Zhang Xiao Qiang heard this, his heart was slightly moved. Zhou Xiong was a pitiful fellow, he shouldn't have had this ability that even Zhang Xiao Qiang was envious of. He slowly squatted down beside Zhou Xiong, and handed him a cigarette. Zhou Xiong received it with both hands, overwhelmed by the favor.
"You know that you have your current position because of your ability. Because of your ability, you became the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs. Because of your ability, you don't have to go to the frontline to fight. Just today, more than 100 evolvers died in the army. More than 100 evolvers died in the blink of an eye …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's words were slightly gloomy. Every evolver was hard to come by, and losing so many at once made his heart ache. If he had a choice, Zhang Xiaoqiang would rather have twice as many ordinary soldiers die.
Zhou Xiong misheard and thought that Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted him to go to the frontline to fill in the gaps. The cigarette fell to the ground, and he picked it up. He didn't even smoke it. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang with a bitter face and said, "If you want me to be transferred to the Bloody Battle Group, it's fine. But can you consider my diligence and let me be in the logistics department?"
Zhou Xiong still cared about his life. No matter what, safety had to be the top priority. Transferring him to the evolvers was not a bad idea. Evolvers had a certain resistance to Zhou Xiong's ability. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang said these words to him today, not just to make him cannon fodder.
"The reason I'm telling you all this today is to let you know that your ability can make you lose your way. Of course, there is also a chance that you won't lose your way. If you don't lose your way, you will be a big shot with beautiful women. Once you lose your way, you will die. Do you understand?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang was straightforward, and how could Zhou Xiong not understand? Zhang Xiaoqiang was giving him insurance today, so that he knew what to do. If something unexpected happened, Zhang Xiaoqiang had said and done everything he could. If he died, he could not blame anyone.
Hearing up to this point, Zhou Xiong quivered, and hurriedly stood up, bowing deeply to Zhang Xiao Qiang, before saying: "Brother Cockroach, I won't say anything now, just watch my actions. From now on, unless there's a need from above, I will never use my ability privately. I'm your dog, whoever you want me to bite, I'll bite …."
After the small talk, Zhang Xiaoqiang finally let go of the conflict in his heart. The three-front operation had begun, and although there were many twists and turns, there were many unexpected rewards. The colloid and the mutant beasts were his rewards today, and they were also the capital he needed to increase his ability as an evolver.
Although Zhou Xiong was not a trustworthy person, his ability was too strong. Shi Yuanye had also reported to him that there were people in his organization who used satellite phones to communicate with the outside world. This made him very cautious. After going through so many things, he knew that sometimes, the consequences of one of his own kind dragging him down were worse than a hundred thousand zombies.
Therefore, Zhou Xiong became his only weapon to clean up the organization. Of course, he needed this weapon to be in his own hands, and not with his own thoughts. Originally, he could have slowly beaten them down, but the Cloud Eagle's injuries were gradually recovering. Once the three-front operation was over, perhaps he would start preparing to return to his own hot spring base.
Next, the strategic mission of recovering Huhhot would be accomplished by the grassland army alone, including the communication with the northern military. Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang had to ensure that the organization was clean, and Zhou Xiong, as the minister of internal affairs, would play an irreplaceable role.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoqiang had to strengthen Zhou Xiong's ability. He wanted to see if he could clean up the people in the organization who had ulterior motives. This was also the reason why he wanted to beat Zhou Xiong up.
At this moment, Zhang Xiao Qiang's satchel was filled with all sorts of colored colloidal bodies. The colloidal bodies were of different shapes and sizes. Some were round, some were square, some were cylindrical, some were in the shape of water droplets. Naturally, the colors were all different as well. All of the colloidal bodies were placed on the grass green canvas, causing Zhou Xiong to be a little confused. After they killed the giant bird, they received strict orders that no one was allowed to touch the giant bird's body. Therefore, he did not know about the crystal core and the colloidal bodies.
The two dogs ran over and sniffed at the colloids when Zhang Xiaoqiang extended his hand to protect them. Then, they walked to the side with their ears drooping, obviously not very interested. Meow, who was riding on Red Fur, bit his nails and looked at these things curiously. He just looked at them, not very tempted.
Zhang Xiaoqiang remembered the magical use of the crystal. He took out two dark red diamond-shaped crystal and threw them out. Before they landed on the ground, they were caught by the two big dogs. They swallowed the crystal like they were chewing on candy. Black Dog ran over and kissed Zhang Xiaoqiang. Although Red Dog did not show too much affection, it wagged its tail at Zhang Xiaoqiang.
While Zhang Xiao Qiang was being intimate with the 2 dogs, Zhou Xiong's eyes unknowingly stared fixedly at an irregularly-shaped black and red gelatinous object about the size of a broad bean on the canvas bag. Suddenly, he quickly reached out to grab it … ….
"Slap …"
Zhang Xiao Qiang swatted away the claw that was reaching towards him. The pain from his hand caused Zhou Xiong to wake up. Normally, it would be hard for an Evolver to wake up after seeing such a thing, but Zhou Xiong was too afraid of death. Once he thought of death, he would wake up no matter how mesmerized he was.
"Do you want to eat it?
Doesn't it smell nice?
Are you willing to give up everything for this thing? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang's deep voice was like the whisper of a demon. Zhou Xiong almost nodded under Zhang Xiaoqiang's hypnotic words, but then shook his head. No matter what, his life was the most important.
Zhang Xiaoqiang held the black and red colloid in his hand and put the other colloids into the bag. With an evil smile, he said, "This thing is not as simple as you think. Today, I took it out for you to eat, but do you know what it means if you eat it?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's tone was just his bad taste, but it made Zhou Xiong's thoughts go astray. His heart suddenly stopped, and a word flashed in his mind. "Chronic poison?"
Then he changed his mind and nodded with a trace of grief and indignation.
"You will understand after you eat this thing. Also, do not tell anyone about the effects of this thing or where it came from …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang held the colloid in his hand and said these words, but in his heart, he was thinking about the first colloid he had obtained. He did not notice Zhou Xiong's expression. Zhou Xiong was also confused by Zhang Xiaoqiang's long-winded instructions. Was it not a chronic poison?
Zhou Xiong was nervous, but he did not dare to ask. Then, Zhang Xiaoqiang threw the colloid in front of him. Zhou Xiong, who was squatting on the ground, looked at the colloid that had fallen by his feet. He did not want to pick it up, but his right hand could not help but pick it up from the ground. While he was hesitating, his right hand did not hesitate to put the colloid in his mouth …
