Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

”Xiaoliu, you just said that making those long-distance remote-controlled bombs is tough, so what about the closer ones?”

Zhang Su asked Liu Tianji.

Liu Tianji nodded and said, ”Within a hundred meters is easy, some remote control toy modules can handle it.”

”Alright then, make some within a hundred meters too. Let’s call it a day for now. Everyone’s worked hard, head back. I’ll head out for a bit.”

Zhang Su pocketed the remote control device, pretending to leave.

”Big brother, it’s this late, where are you going?”

Zhao Dezhu, who was staying with Yu Qing, hurriedly asked.

”Making the bomb is just the first step. I need to find a suitable place to bury it.”

Zhang Su pointed south and said.

Zhao Dezhu quickly stepped forward and said, ”It’s so unsafe in the dark, I’ll go with you.”

”What’s unsafe about it? You better think about how to turn in your assignment with those weak arms and legs... That’s it, you guys go rest, it’s damn cold.”

Zhang Su waved and left. His words made Yu Qing feel embarrassed and turn her head to the side.

”Tsk...” Wu Lue clicked his tongue, looking troubled, ”Brother Su is working too hard.”

As the leader, working so late into the night and personally going out to bury bombs made the others feel a bit awkward.

”Damn, this is putting a lot of pressure on us...”

Zhao Dezhu took off his hat in frustration, scratching his head.

Liu Tianji grinned mischievously and said, ”Brother Zhuzi, is it the pressure to hand in your assignment?”

”Screw you...”

Zhao Dezhu didn’t dare joke around with Zhang Su. For Liu Tianji’s teasing, he delivered a swift kick.

”Brother Su really is dedicated...”

Yu Qing sniffed with a reddened nose, looking towards the dark, feeling deeply moved. The highest leader didn’t overlook a single detail, motivating every member with his actions.

”Let’s go, let’s go, Brother Su doesn’t need our help over there. Let’s just get our own tasks done!” Liu Tianji called everyone to do some handiwork together.

Being a role model was just one aspect, a side note. Zhang Su mainly felt the situation was urgent. In his view, if Zhang Xin wasn’t lying, then it was really risky for him to send the message. They couldn’t afford to be arrogant and negligent, leading to danger!

”I’m heading out for a bit, got something to do.”

Zhang Su went back inside to get cold-weather gear, greeting Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan along the way. One of them was reading in bed, the other writing at a desk, the atmosphere was so tranquil. If it weren’t for the zombie apocalypse, it would be a night many men would dream of.

Who would have thought that as soon as Zhang Su finished speaking, Zheng Xinyu tossed the book aside and jumped down to the floor.

”I’m coming with you!”

She began to dress swiftly as she spoke.

”Hey, hey, hey, don’t mess around, you don’t even ask what I’m doing. I’m just going to the south to scout the terrain, why are you tagging along?”

Zhang Su repeatedly stopped her. It was much easier for him alone, the night was the best camouflage, no lights needed.

”It’s okay, it’s okay, whatever you’re busy with, I’ll go with you. Otherwise, when you want a helper later and can’t find one, you’ll inevitably feel lonely and sad, right?”

Zheng Xinyu chuckled as she spoke, donning thick clothes and pants.

”Sad my ass...” Zhang Su pinched his forehead.

Sitting at the desk, Zhong Xiaoshan awkwardly chuckled, ”Should I join too? But I have to switch shifts at the monitoring room by eleven.”

”Are you two acting out today?”

Zhang Su looked at the two women in surprise, not understanding their motives.

Clap, clap, Zheng Xinyu put on her gloves and clapped, looking proud, ”I must prove my worth, otherwise, if someone else outshines me, won’t I be kicked out then!”

???”

Zhang Su and Zhong Xiaoshan exchanged glances, eyes full of question marks, what the heck is she talking about?

Zhong Xiaoshan only spoke up because of Zheng Xinyu’s enthusiasm, but Zheng Xinyu’s strange idea came from where?

Zhang Su stopped leaving, removed his hat, sat in a chair with legs crossed, and seriously looked at Zheng Xinyu, who was bundled up like a ball, saying, ”Come on, tell me what’s going on with you, who overshadowed you? Let me see who dares to steal a man from the leader’s lady at our camp.”

”That Japanese chick!” Zheng Xinyu put her hands on her hips, rolling her eyes.

”Japan...” Zhang Su almost choked, took a deep breath to even out, couldn’t help but laugh, ”Why compete with a yuri relationship, it’s purely a teacher-student thing between us, she teaches me Ju Clan Martial Arts, I teach her Mad Dog Fist, are you in menopause, being so sensitive...”

”Tch, she’s really familiar with you, last night during the zombie swarm elimination, she stood right next to me. Whatever you were doing, she knew every step clearly, to those unaware, it looked like you two were in quantum entanglement!”

Zheng Xinyu’s lips twisted with a comical expression.

”Alright, alright, you know about quantum entanglement, huh? That’s an ability of Ju Mumio, she doesn’t just know my next moves, anyone in front of her, she knows their next moves too, except for a nut like you!”

This ”doing” is limited to the physical level, predicting actions in advance, not psychological.

Zheng Xinyu rolled her eyes powerlessly, walked up to Zhang Su, took his arm, and smiled, ”Come on, you still haven’t taken me for a night ride; let’s go, and take Xiaoshan too, us three together, okay?”

”No, no, you go ahead... I, well, I still have some work to do.”

Understanding what was going on, Zhong Xiaoshan decided not to add to the chaos, quickly lowering her head to continue organizing inventory sheets.

Looking into Zheng Xinyu’s expectant eyes, Zhang Su thought about his recent life and nodded, saying, ”Alright, let’s go together, wear more clothes, we’ll ride the electric scooter!”

”Ah... I’m kinda not wanting to go.”

Saying that, Zheng Xinyu kept wrapping a scarf with hands and feet, with a joyful smile on her face.

In the post-apocalyptic world, everyone has their own sense of crisis. As a leader of a hundred-strong faction, Zhang Su had to consider the camp’s safety and the future’s development, and the pressure was immense.

As the leader’s woman, Zheng Xinyu knew very well where her series of benefits and privileges came from, where the power originated, and she had to be accountable for it. She often worried about being sidelined because she wasn’t doing well enough.

Her worries were somewhat unnecessary. If Zhang Su really favored another woman, it wouldn’t be more than the room housing three people turning into four.

Two people on an electric scooter left the camp in the dark. Qi Xiaoshuai, the guard, looked dumbfounded, not understanding what kind of romance these two were playing out.

Meanwhile, at Chuhai River Bridge next to West Camp Village, a few thin wires were broken by passing cars, hidden in darkness, swaying in the airflow stirred by the vehicles, unnoticed. Four cars passed Chuhai River, maintaining a steady pace heading north.

”Do you really think the Survivor Alliance will attack?”

Zheng Xinyu sat securely behind Zhang Su, with her face pressed to his back, finally able to speak freely after leaving the camp, asking about the most pressing topic.

With eyes piercing through the darkness, Zhang Su riding the scooter replied to Zheng Xinyu’s question, ”Considering the info Xiao Xuejian brought before, I think there’s a possibility, but this time, things feel very odd.”

”How so? Hey, why didn’t you turn on the light, it’s so... this this...”

Realizing Zhang Su hadn’t turned on the scooter lights and surrounded by pitch darkness, with only sparse light in the distance from Satellite Village, Zheng Xinyu hugged Zhang Su’s waist tighter in fright.
