Chapter 1592: Control of Drugs 1591
Waiting here no longer held any purpose, so Tan Rou had no choice but to leave first. She and Zhuang Liu had other matters to attend to, and she still had to attend Gand’s meeting that evening.
Despite knowing that the Dawn Society was involved in very frightening activities, since she had decided to uncover the secrets of the Dawn Society, she couldn’t allow herself to be afraid. She carefully avoided the surveillance cameras and then headed back.
On her way back, Tan Rou received the test report that Samiyi had sent to her. It seemed that their work efficiency had improved, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to produce the results so quickly.
What Tan Rou didn’t know was that Samiyi had personally overseen the test. She had delivered the blood sample to the laboratory personnel and then stayed there, watching them until they had written the report.
After getting the report, Tan Rou didn’t rush to look at it. She needed to hurry back and meet up with Zhuang Liu; he must be getting anxious waiting for her.
When she returned, Zhuang Liu had just gotten his hands on some freshly made cotton candy. “You’re back. The cotton candy is just made; do you want to try a bite first?”
Tan Rou said, “Sure. But before tasting the cotton candy, we need to find a quiet place to sit for a while. I just received the test report from Samiyi, so I need to decode the report first.”
“How about the café we went to last time?” Zhuang Liu suggested, “I think the second floor there is quite quiet.”
Tan Rou also thought that place was good, so they both headed to the café.
This time, Tan Rou didn’t order coffee; she still had to go back and get some sleep, and coffee would surely keep her awake. It was still the same waiter, No. 007, who served them. When he saw Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu coming, No. 007 promptly excused the other guests to personally serve them.
Tan Rou didn’t disappoint him. She ordered two of the most expensive drinks in the shop and a few pricey cakes. “Let’s start with these. If it’s not enough, I’ll call you to order more.” It was lunchtime, and the two of them hadn’t eaten yet, so it was the perfect time for cake.
No. 007, the waiter, couldn’t stop smiling. “Of course, please enjoy your beautiful time.”
“Oh, by the way, has the Princess been to the shop lately?” Tan Rou casually asked.
No. 007 immediately replied, “Yes, she came again the day after, but this time she wasn’t with her friends. She was alone. She took a phone call midway and then left in a hurry.”
“Thank you,” Tan Rou graciously pulled out a small denomination coin from her wallet, “This is for your tip.”
No. 007 was even happier. “Thank you, beautiful lady. If you have any questions in the future, you can directly ask me, and I will surely answer.”
Tan Rou still needed to look at the report, so she asked the waiter to leave them for now.
After opening the report sent by Samiyi, Tan Rou’s expression was incredibly calm. She said, “It’s mostly what I had suspected, the zombies are being controlled by a drug, though we still haven’t been able to determine the components of the drug.”
Zhuang Liu said, “It seems that the person who made the drug is very skilled.”
Tan Rou agreed with this view, but she added, “It’s also possible that Samiyi didn’t have enough time. From the moment I handed over the sample to her, until she sent me the report, it was roughly just three hours. Such a difficult drug component should be tested multiple times.”
“She might have been quite anxious,” Zhuang Liu said. “If it were me, I would be very anxious too. Zombies aren’t just cats and dogs; they are extremely dangerous. If they appeared on the streets, the consequences would be severe.”
Tan Rou nodded and said, “We still need to capture a live zombie, but we don’t know where they are and cannot catch them. Plus, last night’s events must have alerted the higher-ups of the organization, so I estimate that the zombies won’t be appearing for a while.”
“Don’t we have that whistle in our possession?” Zhuang Liu said. “If we can decipher the secret of the whistle, could we use it to call out the zombies?”
“How can we play the whistle without the music score?” Tan Rou said. “I don’t know how to play the whistle. If you want to try, you can give it a shot.”
