Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

“That’s not fair!”

As Zhao Xue was addressing everyone, Wu Lue huffed angrily to the side.

“Brother Su, you’re so biased. Sister Xue gets a welcome ceremony and I don’t even get a fart. This is… gender discrimination!”

“Hahaha…”

Everyone burst into laughter at Wu Lue’s words.

Zhang Su grinned at Wu Lue and said, “Right, I almost forgot. To save you, my precious car’s airbags exploded. You’ll pay for that. Remember to hand over a batch of supplies to me. Everyone, let’s also give Wu Lue a welcome, and supervise him. If he dares to slack off during training, let me know!”

“Aw crap, I’d rather not have this crappy welcome ceremony and be stuck with this disaster…”

Wu Lue saw the mischievous smiles on everyone’s faces, and his expression was worse than having diarrhea.

“Hey Wu Lue, I heard from Brother Su that you’ve got some interesting stuff on your computer. Mind lending it to me for a look?”

Lu Yubo lifted his eyebrows, making a gesture that all men understood.

Wu Lue shrugged helplessly and said, “Sure, no problem, but it’s out of power now…”

“All right, all right, let’s not get sidetracked. Next up, weapons distribution!”

Zhang Su pointed to the weapons neatly arranged beside him and said, “These are my prized collections accumulated over the years. Some were bought at a high price, others were crafted with care by a master blacksmith. They’re all top-notch stuff!”

Lu Yubo picked up a dagger and felt it. The cold blade and sharp edge seemed to emit a chilling light.

He made a weird face and said, “Brother Su, Sister Xinyu was right, you’re ruthless. You have such good weapons and don’t sell them to us, just some scrap metal to scam us. What a rip-off!”

“Scam you? Haha.”

Zhang Su let out a cold laugh, bent over to pick up a fine steel machete, and swung it in the air a few times. It instantly made a whooshing sound, then he turned and struck a corner of the table. The eco-board table corner broke off smoothly!

Chen Hanzhou, who was sitting at the table, was startled and only felt a slight vibration. The sharpness of the blade was evident!

“Firstly, these items can easily go for thousands apiece, and you kids can’t afford them. Secondly, if I sell you these knives, at best, you end up using sewing machines, at worst, eat lead bullets. In the end, I’d be in trouble too, definitely getting blamed. I’d be crazy to sell them to you…”

“Yeah, that makes sense.”

Lu Yubo scratched his head, pondering, and felt that Zhang Su’s reasoning was sound.

Everyone was surprised at Zhang Su’s words, not expecting these seemingly ordinary knives to be so expensive.

Zhang Su put down the machete and pointed aside, “The machete doesn’t have a sheath, so carrying it around is too dangerous. Let’s keep it for now. There are three dog leg sabers here; who wants them?”

“Me, me!”

Instantly, voices rang out, with all the guys except Yuwen raising their hands.

“Lu Yubo, Chen Hanzhou, Wu Lue, Zhao Dezhu, one of you is bound to miss out…”

“Brother Su…”

Suddenly, Zhao Xue tugged at Zhang Su’s sleeve, her eyes complex as she said, “Could you give me the saber you use?”

Everyone was stunned.

Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan exchanged curious glances.

Zhang Su understood Zhao Xue’s point, knowing the dog leg saber at his waist held extraordinary significance for her. He took the saber from his waist and said to everyone, “This dog leg saber had bloodied Xiaoxue’s enemy, so…”

He looked over at the four who wanted the saber and said, “So now there are only two left. Pair up and play rock-paper-scissors!”

“Ah…”

“Oh god…”

The four sighed helplessly.

They loved the dog leg sabers, thinking Zhang Su looked unbelievably cool using them, but none of them could compete with him.

Zhang Su handed the blood-stained scabbard to Zhao Xue and advised, “It’s not as sharp as it was at first. Find a chance to sharpen it. Also, practice more, or you’ll easily hurt yourself!”

Zhao Xue carefully held the scabbard in her arms, nodding seriously. It was the first real weapon she had gotten in the apocalypse.

“Come on, two of you are going to miss out, so act like men and don’t dilly-dally!”

Lu Yubo was the first to roll up his sleeves and approached Zhao Dezhu, his smile sinister, “Old Zhao, with all the killing you do, your luck must be rotten.”

“Nonsense! I’m a natural swordsman, bring it on, who’s afraid of whom!” Zhao Dezhu sneered with disdain.

Wu Lue clasped his hands together, praying to Chen Hanzhou, “Come on, hero, you’re so skilled, the fire ax suits you best. I’m weak; let me have the better equipment, please.”

“No way, let’s go!” Chen Hanzhou decisively refused Wu Lue’s plea.

Zhao Dezhu: Paper.

Lu Yubo: Rock.

Chen Hanzhou: Scissors.

Wu Lue: Paper.

The result was clear, Chen Hanzhou and Zhao Dezhu won…

Wu Lue and Lu Yubo, the unlucky duo, exchanged silent looks.

“All right, next are these short daggers, one for each of you.”

Zhang Su handed out the short daggers to everyone and said, “I had these crafted by a master blacksmith from Funing County. Despite their simple appearance, they’re made from the same high-quality material as the dog leg sabers. The four-inch blade can pierce a zombie through the skull seam, silencing one with a single stab!”

Zhang Su pointed to the area near his temple.

“Skull seam?”

“Where is it…”

“Is it here, where there’s a dip.”

Everyone explored their own heads, some looking enlightened, others still puzzled.

“All right, for those still confused, find time to ask Nurse Zhong later. But remember, daggers are for dealing with zombies who can barely move. Don’t foolishly use them to fight zombies head-on, they’re too short! Up next, the most important of all, the crossbows!”
