After Wang Zhi unlocked the intelligence, he immediately opened the report.
"Using a stun grenade can render Zombies immobile; the effect can last a maximum of one minute."
Wang Zhi felt quite vexed upon reading this. He felt he had been duped. Not only would using a stun grenade attract nearby Zombies, but it only provided control? With that duration of control, wouldn't it be better to just use a grenade to blow them all up immediately?
"I demand a refund!"
Wang Zhi couldn't help but say this to the staff inside the Intelligence Hall.
"This intelligence report is flawed! This report is bait! It's clickbait! It's fraud!"
"We apologize, virtual transactions do not support refunds under any circumstances. All intelligence is audited; once approved, it is deemed valid," the person in charge explained to Wang Zhi.
"No, I... this intelligence is worth 200 Survival Points? While my Survival Points weren't exactly blown in by a gale, they shouldn't be swept away by one either!" Wang Zhi grumbled.
"We are truly sorry. Intelligence reports are like surprise eggs; the result might be unsatisfactory. You must bear any losses yourself."
"Fine, I understand now."
Wang Zhi wasn't pained by the loss of these 200 Survival Points; what annoyed him was realizing he had paid an "IQ tax." Knowing further discussion would be fruitless, he took his leave from the Intelligence Hall.
"Fatty, if you want to laugh, just go ahead. Don't hold it in and hurt yourself," Wang Zhi said to Fatty, who was trying his best to suppress his laughter the whole way.
"Pffft hahaha, I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter, hahaha, ah, Captain Wang, you, hahaha."
Along the way, Wang Zhi wanted to punch the laughing Fatty several times, but his ribs still ached faintly, so he had no choice but to walk silently ahead.
The two bought six portions of food and returned to the residence.
When the six of them were eating, Fatty still let out an occasional silly chuckle. Wang Zhi could no longer stand it!
"Sister Ying!"
Su Muying, who was eating, looked at Wang Zhi in confusion when Wang Zhi called out loudly.
Seeing Wang Zhi call out to Su Muying, Fatty immediately lost his temper and quickly admitted his mistake.
"Captain Wang, I was wrong! Don't do this!"
Su Muying looked at the two of them suspiciously, not knowing what game they were playing.
"Fatty wanted to see you wearing black stockings," Wang Zhi said indifferently, ignoring Fatty.
"Pfft! Excuse me, this food is a bit spicy." Zhang Ming choked on a mouthful of food, then immediately lowered his head and shoveled rice into his mouth.
"Oh?"
Su Muying fixed her gaze on Fatty.
"Sister Ying, listen to my explanation! Captain Wang is trying to frame me, kill me with a borrowed knife, and borrow arrows with straw boats!"
"Then tell me, why would Wang Zhi want to frame you?"
"He called me up early this morning and wanted to..."
"Ahem!!"
Fatty stopped halfway through his sentence, interrupted by Wang Zhi who signaled him not to continue.
*Slap!* Su Muying slammed her Dagger forcefully onto the table: "Continue."
"Captain Wang took me to the intelligence hall to post new intelligence. After we finished, we saw some intelligence about dealing with Zombies..... Later, he was fooled, and I found it hilarious, so I kept laughing. He got annoyed with me and wanted revenge," Fatty stated truthfully. Compared to Su Muying, Fatty preferred to offend Wang Zhi.
Indeed, impulse is the devil. If Wang Zhi had just endured it, the matter would have passed. Now, not only did his attempt to kill with a borrowed knife fail, but Fatty had also burned his bridges, making everyone present aware that he had been fooled.
After hearing Fatty finish, Su Muying's focus shifted from Fatty to Wang Zhi.
"Uh, Sister Ying, I'm a patient right now, please calm down..." Seeing this, Wang Zhi immediately flashed the bandage on his chest, using it as a get-out-of-jail-free card.
"So... you were the one who wanted to see the black silk stockings?" Su Muying said playfully, looking at Wang Zhi.
"No, no, I was just voicing Fatty's inner thoughts, it doesn't represent my own thoughts."
"Suspicious!"
At this moment, Jia Liuli, who was standing nearby, suddenly interjected.
"Hey, you little girl, mind your own food," Wang Zhi said to Liuli.
"Wang Zhi, a real man should own up to what he does. Don't let Fatty take the blame for everything. Even if Fatty has the lust, does he have the guts?"
As Su Muying spoke, Fatty nodded repeatedly from the side, expressing his agreement.
"Sister Ying, you are absolutely right!"
At this moment, Wang Zhi felt completely wronged. It was clearly his original intention to provoke Su Muying using Fatty, so what did "a real man owns up to what he does" mean? Was she forcing him to become a pervert obsessed with sheer stockings?
Wang Zhi felt that if he struggled any further, the situation would only worsen, so he said: "That's right, I wanted to look."
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he felt a huge sense of relief. He just wanted to finish this meal quickly. Ying didn't say anything further, and the atmosphere immediately became heavy. Everyone else accelerated the pace of their eating.
