Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

“What else do you want? We’re discussing business here—hey, don’t get distracted!”

Zhang Su waved his hand at Brother Jie, noticing the brief pause in the man’s eyes upon seeing the weapon. Zhang Su understood the situation instantly and quickly thought of a countermeasure.

“Aren’t you guys looking to swap weapons? How about this rifle? The Cyan Dragon Corps has plenty in stock, and we exchanged for this type before!”

Zhang Su patted the 95-type rifle on his shoulder.

Brother Jie suddenly realized and cursed himself for his stupidity. How could an old farmer from a nearby village possess standard weapons? If they have them, they must be from military stock, either through trade or as spoils.

But can these guys really take down the Cyan Dragon Corps?

The answer is obviously no!

“Yes, right, I momentarily forgot the model of this gun. Haha, yes, let’s exchange five more of these guns. Name your price, and let’s see how we can swap.”

“We’ve transported the medicine back to Kuanzhuang, but we’ve got plenty of weapons. Let us first check the raccoon skins. If the quality is good, let’s settle on a price. I’ll call my brothers to bring you the medicine!”

Zhang Su spread his hands as he spoke.

“No problem, come, take a look! I’m Liu Shijie; brother, may I know your name?”

While greeting Zhang Su, Liu Shijie introduced himself.

Zhang Su gestured to the people around him, nonchalantly saying, “Meeting by chance, there’s no need for such details. Let’s stick to business.”

Liu Shijie saw three or four people walking over. He initially wanted to stop them, but hearing Zhang Su’s words, he paused briefly. He had been courteous enough, yet the other party wouldn’t even reveal their name?

Feeling slightly annoyed but not showing it, given the precarious situation, he opted to stay low-key. Opening the trunk, he took out a raccoon skin, saying, “Take a look, brother, isn’t this color worth at least two boxes of Oxcarbazepine Tablets?”

Zhang Su had never heard of Oxcarbazepine Tablets and paid no mind to them. He naturally took the raccoon skin from Liu Shijie’s hands, nodding like an old master as he gently stroked the smooth fur. The quality was indeed superb, a smile appearing on his face as he turned to his scattered companions, saying, “The raccoon skins brought by our brothers from Mountain and Sea District are truly top-notch!”

“Of course, eh… ah… what are you doing?”

Without warning, Brother Jie was ready to further pitch the raccoon skin when his arms were suddenly twisted, a large hand pressing his head down, making his neck unable to rise!

“Stay still, don’t move!”

“If you don’t want to die, be careful!”

“Kneel, you bastard!”

Da-da, da-da…

Amidst a chaotic scuffle, the seemingly scattered members of Celestial Horse Island swiftly subdued their nearest targets upon hearing “truly top-notch,” accompanied by gunfire and screams!

One scream came from Su Xiaoya at the back of the crowd, not knowing what was happening, only seeing people start to act and, shockingly, the fierce woman opened fire directly…

Thud, thud…

Two bodies fell to the ground, blood flowing from foreheads, spreading a wide pool, eyes wide open in death.

“I couldn’t grab him alive…”

“Neither could I…”

Zheng Xinyu and Wu Lue both spread their hands helplessly; they knew “truly top-notch” was a signal to seize control, but being aware of their limits, they chose the most straightforward method to handle the situation before it got out of hand.

“Ah, ah… You… you broke the rules, you ignore order. You’ll be despised by other survivors for this!”

Brother Jie strained against the oppression, seeing his subdued companions and fallen members, yelling furiously with a twisted expression.

“Even in the apocalypse, there are rules. Acting like this, you’ll… Ugh…”

Thunk!

“Damn, shut up!”

Lu Yubo kneeled into Brother Jie’s waist, quieting him instantly.

“Fine, I’ll be right with you to talk about rules!”

Zhang Su turned, patting Liu Shijie’s unwilling face, then draping a raccoon skin on his head, like a fearsome bandit from the Northwest, before heading to the pickup, opening the back door and asking, “Xiaoshuai, can you still talk?”

??

The pickup’s windows were tinted, making it impossible to see the back seats until Zhang Su opened the door and called out. Only then did the other Celestial Horse Island members realize Qi Xiaoshuai had been captured.

“What the hell, you dare harm our brother!”

“Dammit, dammit, dammit!”

On seeing Qi Xiaoshuai, covered in blood, Lu Yubo and Lü Leiyang lost their temper immediately. Though Lü Leiyang lacked intimidation in his curses, his kicks were ruthless, not wasting his daily training, each kick causing cries of distress, almost making the other vomit.

“Brother Su, I… slipped up, but I didn’t reveal our camp’s location.”

Bound tightly, Qi Xiaoshuai looked up at Zhang Su, a twisted smile on his face, appearing utterly miserable.

“Come, take the medicine first, then we’ll discuss rules with these people!”

Saying this, Zhang Su handed Qi Xiaoshuai a gray, unappealing object before taking out a knife and swiftly cutting through the rope binding him.

By this point, Liu Shijie was utterly terrified, having never imagined their acting skills to be so precise. From Xiaobo interacting with them to just now examining the raccoon skin, no flaw had been detected. This was pure acting; before the disaster, were they actors?

Not only skilled in acting, but their equipment was first-rate. And not only was their equipment remarkable, but they were ruthless, speaking little. He saw clearly who fired earlier—one of them appeared as a gentle young woman, yet such people could kill ruthlessly without hesitation; imagine the caliber of the other men!

This was a group of fierce people, even fiercer than the Cyan Dragon Corps.

“Brothers, do you… do you know each other? There’s a misunderstanding here, definitely a huge misunderstanding!”

Liu Shijie didn’t wait for Zhang Su to finish, twisting his body and yelling, sweat dripping from his forehead in the cold, flowing down his face.

“Know each other? Haha…”

Hearing Liu Shijie’s shout, Zhang Su glanced back at him, letting out a cold laugh, and said to the others, “Xinyu, go get some rope and tie these people up. Anyone who dares to resist: five vehicles to tear them apart!”

Five vehicles tearing apart—those simple words seemed to carry enormous power, quieting those who had been fervently resisting and twisting, as they dared not imagine that scene…

Everyone worked swiftly, and within minutes, including Liu Shijie, all five were bound and kneeling neatly beside the Camry.
