Chapter 63: Intelligence on Various Groups, The Person Who Hand-Crafted Explosives Has Been Found

"Wait a moment."

Su Ze didn't open the door immediately. Instead, he looked up at the newly installed surveillance camera above the door frame.

Through the real-time feed on the panel, he could clearly see Zhou Kai standing respectfully outside the door alone.

His body was slightly leaned forward, maintaining a very low posture, and there was no one else in the corridor.

After confirming it was safe, Su Ze then spoke to the women beside him.

"I need to head out for a bit."

He looked at Jiang Yuwan and Su Meier: "The two of you, take the keys to 412 and go fix the door now."

Su Ze paused before continuing his arrangements.

"Then, Qiao Fei and Qing Ya will coordinate. I'll transfer most of the common supplies stored in our Dormitory to you via the trading channel. From now on, Dormitory 412 on the 4th floor will serve as our warehouse."

"As for the important supplies, they will naturally continue to be kept here."

With the surveillance, the situation at the entrance of Dormitory 412 would be fully visible, so there was no need to worry about security.

"Alright," Jiang Yuwan responded decisively.

Su Meier gave a flirtatious wink and breathed into Su Ze's ear: "Don't worry, Landlord, I'll make sure our family assets are hidden well~"

"But..."

The consistently attentive Yao Qingya frowned slightly and raised a critical point.

"Dormitory 412 doesn't have a landlord, so wouldn't anyone be able to enter? Should we... find someone trustworthy among those thirty girls to be the landlord?"

"No need for now."

Su Ze shook his head, rejecting the proposal.

"It's almost midnight; the zombies are about to refresh. No one dares to wander around outside."

"As for those girls, Yuwan, just have them continue hiding on the Eighth Floor."

"Currently, the primary target of the zombies on the Eighth Floor is still Dormitory 811. Let them stay in the corner at the other end of the Eighth Floor; it's safe for now. I'll make further arrangements tomorrow."

After hearing this, Yao Qingya felt relieved.

Jiang Yuwan and Su Meier didn't delay any further. They took the keys and left, preparing to begin their "warehouse relocation" operation.

Having arranged everything, Su Ze turned and pulled open the Dormitory door.

Outside, Zhou Kai was hunching his shoulders, waiting nervously on the spot.

Seeing Su Ze come out, he hurriedly bowed, keeping his posture extremely low.

"Speak," Su Ze said, leaning against the door frame with a flat tone.

Zhou Kai didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately lowered his voice and poured out all the intelligence he had gathered like beans from a bamboo tube.

"Big shot, I've managed to dig up some background on Wang Meng's group."

"Wang Meng himself has attributes around 40 points. He also used a skill book called [Beginner Blade Technique], so his combat power is very high."

"Furthermore, despite his rough appearance, he's actually quite meticulous and not just a simple brute. His weapon is a common-quality machete."

"Including himself, he has thirty people under him and controls five dormitories."

"Besides his own 3rd Floor-333, the other four landlords are Jiang Haiqing of 345, Ou Shaofeng of 399, Fu Xiong of 406, and Wei Wutao of 515. Their attributes are basically around 38 points..."

Zhou Kai rattled off a significant amount of information in one breath.

Su Ze listened quietly without showing any reaction.

After finishing the report on Wang Meng's group, Zhou Kai swallowed and continued.

"Besides Wang Meng, there's another major force in the building."

"Zhuang Qianhao on the first floor. I don't know his exact attributes, and he doesn't look particularly bulky..."

"But it's said he's practiced martial arts since childhood and is quite skilled. He's the president of the school's Martial Arts Club. When the survival game started, he happened to be with a few brothers from the club, so they banded together immediately."

"They use the east side of the first floor as their base and have united seven nearby dormitories. Their total manpower adds up to eight dormitories worth of people."

"However, he's different from Wang Meng. His methods are gentler, he has a good reputation, and it's more like a mutual aid alliance."

"Therefore, his control over the other dormitories in the alliance might not be as strong as Wang Meng's, and they aren't as united in spirit."

Su Ze's eyebrows quirked up.

The east side of the first floor...

He remembered now. Among the people who came to trade for the serum earlier, there were indeed two who reported Dormitory numbers from the east side of the first floor.

He wondered if they came behind this Zhuang Qianhao's back, or if they were sent by him?

"Besides those two," Zhou Kai continued reporting, "I also paid special attention to the Eighth Floor."

"The matter of Dormitory 811 on the Eighth Floor being besieged by zombies is now known to the entire building."

"I spent a bit of supplies to bribe someone living on the Eighth Floor and basically cleared up the situation."

"The reason their Dormitory is in such a miserable state is that they took in too many people! The leader is named Xu Feng, a veteran senior who returned to school. It's said his physical fitness is good, and he's an upright person..."

"He took all his living classmates into the Dormitory, so they have a total of eighteen people squeezed into one room!"

"Because of this, they are also the most united group, although their strength doesn't seem very high at the moment..."

"I already know about this. Next," Su Ze interrupted calmly.

Zhou Kai felt a chill in his heart, and his awe for Su Ze deepened further.

As expected, the big shot's information channels were far broader than he had imagined.

Su Ze, however, was rapidly calculating in his mind.

Wang Meng represented an autocratic and forceful organization of violence.

Zhuang Qianhao represented a traditional alliance of loyalty and freedom.

Xu Feng represented unity and a small survival team under idealism.

One had great strength, one had numbers, and one was the most united...

It was only the first day, and three proto-factions had already formed in this building. Truly, one could not underestimate anyone.

...

Zhou Kai felt a chill in his heart, and his awe for Su Ze deepened further.

He quickly skipped over that topic and moved to the final and most important part.

"Finally... it's about the matter you specifically instructed me to keep an eye on, regarding School Beauty Qiao and her group."

Zhou Kai's voice dropped even lower, even carrying a hint of excitement from seeking credit.

"I've been paying people to track School Beauty Qiao's movements, and I've already confirmed the location and name of the person who can make explosives!"

A faint curve finally appeared at the corner of Su Ze's mouth.

From the moment Qiao Yunge produced the explosives, he had kept it in mind.

Having Zhou Kai spend some supplies to find a few inconspicuous people to secretly track Qiao Yunge's whereabouts was his backup plan.

explosives were too big of a threat at this stage.

One might not intend to harm others, but one must guard against them.

How could he possibly sleep soundly without thoroughly figuring out this talent who could hand-make explosives?

"That student surnamed Chen is named Chen Xueming; he lives in Dormitory 985 on the ninth floor."

Zhou Kai's voice became even quieter.

"It's said he's four years ahead of us. He was a 'God of Study' level figure in the school, winning so many awards he could barely hold them. Later, he stayed for graduate school. He's also quite reclusive, which is why we undergraduates don't know much about him."

"And he's an orphan who has been sponsored by School Beauty Qiao's father since he was a child. He was also the childhood tutor for Qiao Yunge's younger brother. Although he's not good with words and has low EQ, his IQ is said to be extremely high, with very strong learning and hands-on abilities..."
