Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

Bang!

A faint explosion sounded from the flames, reminding everyone of the Corpse Transformation Bomb that Liao Youzhi mentioned, powerful enough to wreak havoc over an area as vast as Qing County!

The explosion’s power wasn’t significant, it flickered and extinguished within the fire dragon, but the subsequent reaction was everyone’s focus.

As the explosion echoed, a tongue of flame rose from the fire dragon, sweeping through the air like fiery waves, resembling countless moths igniting in the blaze, accompanied by crackling sounds, similar to the welding rod fireworks during celebrations.

Countless powders were incinerated in the flames, the process lasting less than ten seconds, the fiery waves settled into calm, leaving only the persistent eruption of the fire dragon, the asphalt road long melted away, and after more than a minute of burning, no organic matter was visible within the fire dragon anymore, only pure fire!

Zhang Su clearly remembered Wu Baokang telling him that the powder capable of causing corpse transformation would lose its activity when near flames, and if merely approaching didn’t work, then burning directly was certainly no issue, and indeed it was true!

The zombie emitting flames seemed sinister, yet the flames purged everything!

The fire dragon spewed from east to west, heading north. The Yama Corps on Celestial Horse Island was escorting Luo Yongzhan towards the south, aiming to reunite with King Yama.

The moment Zhang Su activated the Fire-breathing Zombie, Yuwen knew the battle was over, concluded with minimal sacrifice!

”It’s damn hot!”

”Who wouldn’t say so? The power of these flames rivals the Ascension Original Liquid, and it’s persistent...”

”Another golden legendary quality!”

Zhao Dezhu and the others chatted as they walked, the topic lighthearted, their demeanor calm, completely unlike the terrifying reputation of the Yama Corps.

Luo Yongzhan, with his hands bound behind him, felt his legs weaken; everything happening before him was too frightening. Over ten comrades and even the boss were incinerated by the flames, and not just that, the second-in-command along with a key elite squad just below the Guard Team also perished in the fiery sea.

It’s over, the Survivor Alliance is completely over...

Whoosh!

Zhang Su saw his comrades approaching, and released the metal chains in his hands; meanwhile, the green indicator light on the password lock turned red, it turns out resetting the chains required re-entering the password.

Heavy boards fell, cutting off the fire dragon, and the Fire-breathing Zombie didn’t immediately calm down. It struggled back and forth on the metal frame, making the chains binding it clang, but after some time of spewing, the flames on its body seemed weaker than before, apparently, it couldn’t keep spewing fire endlessly.

The cargo box containing the Fire-breathing Zombie, serving as the flamethrower’s nozzle, was glowing red and displayed a pretty gradient from front to back...

On the street, wisps of black smoke rose from the ground, it wasn’t until now that people smelled the unpleasant burning odor, probably from petroleum by-products.

Those buried in the sea of fire turned into white powder that floated in the air, all organic material completely burned out, fiery metallic liquid mixed with black gel-like substances lay quietly on the ground.

Gulp.

People in the distance swallowed collectively, finding it hard to believe this scene before their eyes was even more shocking than a zombie siege!

Clap Clap!

Suddenly, two claps sounded, waking everyone up.

Zhang Su had somehow exited the van and leapt onto the SUV’s roof, saying loudly to those nearby and far: ”Some of you might not know me, let me introduce myself, I’m Zhang Su, and the leader King Yama on Celestial Horse Island is me!”

The atmosphere froze, Liu Yao, looking like a mountain cannon, fiddled nervously on his mini-submachine gun, feeling extremely uneasy. As a fierce leader with robust battle capabilities, he rarely felt this way, not even when facing Liao Youzhi, but upon seeing Zhang Su on the roof, he was intimidated.

Especially after the brief eye contact earlier, possibly due to the aura of having killed over twenty people, he couldn’t help but avert his gaze, even forgetting the account of his three brothers that was unsettled.

Yang Xinqi, in contrast, was slightly better off, having already heard some things about Celestial Horse Island from his subordinates, as the five hostages from the Apocalypse Corps were highly cooperative, having suffered little. Their impression of Zhang Su was unexpectedly good, leaving him not overly fearful, even nodding with a smile at Zhang Su.

The Survivor Alliance remnants were the most desolate, with Vanguard Corps’ Squad Two and Search Team Three, twenty people entirely clueless on what to do!

Search Team, in theory, wasn’t allowed to partake in such actions, but due to the zombie mob news being brought back by Search Team Three yesterday, they were reluctantly included in this operation.

Suddenly trembling, Search Team Three’s captain, Zhou Le, wore an unnatural expression, having never imagined the northern folks were this terrifying. Recalling that he had even requested weapons from Liao Youzhi yesterday, intending to investigate northward. A day later, Leader Liao Youzhi was gone!

The most composed were Zhang Xin and the group from Vanguard Corps Squad Three, yet he dared not make any statements at this moment, uncertain of Zhang Su’s plans, simply leading his men quietly aside.

Another person sat alone at the back of the car, arms bizarrely bound, mouth tied with hemp rope—Wu Baokang.

He was the sole surviving member of the Guard Team, and that was because Zhang Su instructed Ju Mumio not to kill him.

Currently, Wu Baokang’s emotions were unnaturally calm, seemingly indifferent to the deaths of Liao Youzhi and Gong Chengming.

Li Zongkai returned to his team, greeting the comrades. Everyone’s face was filled with excitement, but they also realized now wasn’t a good time to speak, restraining their urge to communicate.

Zhang Su noticed the scene was quietly still, most people utterly confused, so he bent and accepted the portable amplifier from Yuwen, then took the microphone, saying: ”Everyone, don’t be anxious, we aren’t enemies. The reason for the confrontation is that evildoers were at play here!”

”The mastermind of this sinister plot has been thoroughly purified by the flames!”

Zhang Su pointed to a scar on the highway, about seven or eight meters wide, continuing: ”The schemer has turned into ashes, I, King Yama, bear no grudges and consider you all as friends. Those willing to be friends with me are invited to gather at Celestial Horse Island, to discuss the details of this event and future plans!”

”Anyone unwilling to befriend me, I won’t stop you; now you can take your men, get in the cars, and return the way you came!”

To take down Liao Youzhi was part of Zhang Su’s plan, whereas eradicating Gong Chengming’s faction mainly stemmed from sensing dark intentions hidden within Gong Chengming.

The Quad Alliance wanted trouble with Celestial Horse Island, having received prior notification of this significant event from the ’quasi’ allies and calculating them as pawns in their plot, aimed at eventually binding everyone together against Liao Youzhi with unforeseen danger at the critical moment.

If successful, Gong Chengming would be the biggest beneficiary, but if it failed, everyone could become sacrificial victims. In retrospect, the idea of Liao Youzhi’s Corpse Transformation Bomb was heavily exaggerated, yet no one dared question it before!

Eliminating the Survivor Alliance leaders didn’t signify the end of the affair, having reached this point, logically advancing forward is sensible, so Zhang Su intended to see the attitudes of the remaining folks.

Initially, there wasn’t an intent to rapidly expand power, but given the circumstances, it was unavoidable!
