Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

“Little boss, thank you for your car and things, I’m heading out now.”

Just then, Qin Huamei walked over, nodded gratefully at Zhang Su.

“Go ahead, be careful on the road, wish you safety.”

Zhang Su really didn’t want to persuade her much, knowing it wouldn’t hold her back, and even if it did, he wouldn’t take her in. But he knew that Qin Huamei’s journey was nearly certain death, much more dangerous than Wang Guangjun’s.

After sending off Qin Huamei, Zhang Su waved to Zhang Ya and led her towards the car shed, asking along the way: “Tell me everything, and I warn you, don’t make up stories, or it won’t be as simple as tying you up here!”

“Brother, do you know someone named Dacheng?”

Zhang Ya looked at Zhang Su with intense eyes.

As soon as these words were out, Zhang Su’s heart skipped a beat!

In this post-apocalyptic world, the population has plummeted, and you hardly meet many people along the way. The chances of running into someone with the same name are slim to none. Dacheng must be Liang Dacheng!

The fact that she could mention the name Dacheng means this isn’t a simple matter.

“Keep talking!”

Zhang Ya nodded and said, “Previously, there was a group of survivors, about four or five of them. They said the Prado belonged to Brother Dacheng and that they’d recognize it even if it were burnt to ashes. They are convinced that you are the murderers of Brother Dacheng and want to kill you to avenge him. They rambled on about it.”

Everyone knew that Zhang Su had taken Zhang Ya to the back of the camper, but no one pursued the matter to find out what they were doing, as it was a big taboo.

Even the Corgi seemed to know Zhang Su had something important to discuss and ran off.

Zhang Su leaned back against the big wheel of the Mercedes camper, frowned, contemplating Zhang Ya’s words. After digesting most of it, he continued, “What do you mean by rambling on, stop beating around the bush, spill it all!”

“Brother, you’re asking about what happened next, so you must be interested, right?”

Zhang Ya flashed a sly smile. With dirt on her face, it was hard to tell if she was beautiful, but she definitely looked cunning.

“Ha…” Zhang Su chuckled, nodded, and said, “You’re right, I’m very interested in this matter. Go ahead, tell me everything you know.”

Zhang Ya nodded and said, “After the talk of revenge, they started discussing how to deal with you all. Some suggested setting a fire, others talked about blowing up your truck, some mentioned following you and ramming you to death, and others proposed luring zombies to attack you. It was all too treacherous!”

“That’s ruthless!”

Zhang Su felt a chill down his spine, thinking luckily he was always meticulous and cautious, leaving someone on watch no matter the time. Otherwise, they might have fallen victim to these scoundrels. If a fire really happened, they would probably be badly suffocated inside the garage!

“By the way, do you know who those people are and what’s their relation to that so-called Brother Dacheng?” Zhang Su asked probingly.

“Hehe, I actually do!”

Zhang Ya chuckled craftily and said, “They called their leader Little Brother Cheng. Dacheng, Little Cheng, they’re either twin brothers or blood brothers! Brother, what exactly did you do to that Brother Dacheng?”

Zhang Su glanced at Zhang Ya but didn’t answer her question. Instead, he asked calmly, “So what did they decide in the end?”

“They initially planned to lure zombies to attack you, but their boss ultimately vetoed it because they also wanted to get a couple of cars from here. Finally, they decided to follow you, waiting for an opportunity to create an accident or ambush you while you sleep at night!”

After Zhang Ya finished speaking, she happily said, “So, Brother, isn’t this secret, or rather, this intelligence, very valuable? Isn’t it fair to let me join your team now? Aren’t you considering giving me some extra reward?”

Zhang Su smiled for no apparent reason and reached towards Zhang Ya’s face.

“Brother. Don’t… don’t do this, I…”

Zhang Ya hadn’t finished speaking when he just pinched her face lightly and withdrew his hand.

“Follow you, ambush?” Zhang Su looked at the dirt on his hand, brought it to his nose for a sniff, and revealed a smile with deep meaning, saying, “You don’t think I’ll just believe you based on what you said, do you?”

“Ah? Brother, this is the information I risked my life to eavesdrop on!”

Zhang Ya, having her face pinched earlier, appeared a bit flustered.

“Just because you say so?”

Zhang Su’s gaze swept over Zhang Ya and said, “Come on, strip and dance, then I’ll believe you.”

“Ah?”

Zhang Ya trembled all over, not expecting such a request, her eyes filled with panic.

After the two held a stalemate for a while, Zhang Ya gritted her teeth, a resolute look on her face, and reached out to start unbuttoning her shirt.

“Ha, I was just joking with you, how can you take it seriously?”

Zhang Su slapped Zhang Ya’s trembling hand, then laughed and said, “Congratulations on becoming a part of our team. Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Su, you can call me by name or call me Brother Su, either is fine.”

Zhang Ya patted her chest, then extended her hand and said, “Hello, Brother Su!”

“Men shake hands with men, I hug women.”

With that, Zhang Su opened his arms without any hesitation and gave Zhang Ya a tight hug. She couldn’t see the slight curve at the corner of his mouth during the embrace.

“Let’s go, and get to know everyone.”

After letting go, Zhang Su headed towards where everyone was busy.

“Everyone, come here!”

Zhang Su clapped his hands.

“This dark-skinned girl is Zhang Ya, a trainee nurse at a plastic surgery hospital? I guess that’s about it, Xiaoshan, you could say you’re colleagues. From today, she’s a member of our team, please take good care of her. Old Tan, tell her about the rules of our team.”

“Also, Xinyu, Xiaoshan, Bozai, Xiaochen, Zhuzi, come with me.”

Zhang Su called out and took a few people with him.

“Brother Su, that woman gives me a very shrewd impression, maybe we need to assess her.”

After walking some distance away, Zhong Xiaoshan whispered to Zhang Su, but those around could still hear her.

In Lu Yubo, Chen Hanzhou, and Zhao Dezhu’s view, Zhong Xiaoshan talking to Zhang Su about another woman was Zhang Su’s personal business, even if they had opinions, it wasn’t their place to speak.

Zhang Su had a faint smile on his lips. He clearly knew the loopholes in Zhang Ya’s words but didn’t expose them directly because there was a follow-up plan.

“No need for assessments; how could she outsmart me even if she’s shrewd? Don’t worry!”

Zhang Su’s very confident words made everyone pause slightly.

This wasn’t like his usual style.

Previously, whether it was Tan Huajun, the group of four students, or Zhao Dezhu’s trio, Zhang Su had huge doubts, though he didn’t doubt Wu Lue and Zhao Xue. But why was it different with this woman named Zhang Ya?

“Hey, Black Heart Ghost, do you have your eyes on that woman?”

Zheng Xinyu looked at Zhang Su suspiciously. In her view, unless you established a mutual relationship with Zhang Su, why else would there be such trust?

“That kind of thinking is filthy, understand? Isn’t it reasonable for a poor girl trying to survive in the apocalypse to find a safe haven? She’s sincere with me, so I naturally open my heart. What’s most important between people? It’s sincerity!”

“What big bro says is true, you see, our team will gradually grow, and it’s a good thing to have capable survivors willing to join us, haha.”

Zhao Dezhu quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere.

Lu Yubo also nodded in agreement: “Exactly, exactly.”

Zheng Xinyu puffed her cheeks and didn’t say anything else. She believed Zhang Su must have his reasons for doing this, even if she hadn’t figured them out yet.

“Anyway, there’s no problem with Zhang Ya. Don’t alienate her or make things difficult for her, understood?”

“Hmm…”

“Got it, Brother Su.”

“Okay.”

Everyone felt quite strange, but besides Zhang Su’s sudden change in attitude, they didn’t notice anything else unusual. Teams need to include survivors, so they didn’t dwell on it.

“Let’s go, let’s check out the vehicle!”

Zhang Su was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction, and he waved the card key.

“Hey, time to see what’s inside.”

While the others were still pondering the issue with Zhang Ya, Lu Yubo eagerly rubbed his hands together.

Zhang Su walked to the front of the vehicle, looking for a place on the driver’s door to sense the card key. He scratched his head and walked to the other side of the RV, finding an area the size of a palm with a sensing icon on the middle door of the cabin.

He pressed the card onto the sensing area.

Sss, clack.

The sound of hydraulics echoed, and the door slowly opened, a staircase descended, and a gentle light illuminated the cabin, exuding a sense of luxury!

“Whoa!”

“That’s so ceremonious.”

“Haven’t seen lights like this in a long time, it’s like a dream back to the modern world!”

Everyone expressed their amazement, a feeling of indescribable emotion filled their hearts at that moment.

“What’s really exciting hasn’t even begun!”

Zhang Su’s face also showed uncontrollable excitement as he was the first to step into the cabin.

Entering the RV from the stairs led to the living room area, where two rows of leather sofas could seat around ten people when squeezed together, with a not-so-large coffee table in the middle. Next to it, there was a refrigerator, a water bar, and a wine cabinet, and the whole area exuded a dazzling sense of wealth.
