Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

”Hmm... Merging can lead to better development, providing everyone a better survival environment. I don’t think any fool would oppose this. If someone does... well, I don’t know what I’d do, but don’t worry, I won’t resort to violence.”

Liu Yao scratched his head and started dressing with a frown. The heat had passed, and now he was feeling a bit cold.

”I think...”

”I believe...”

Yuwen and Li Zongkai spoke simultaneously.

Yuwen politely gestured, meaning, you go ahead.

”Ho ho, Mr. Yu, then I’ll take the stage...”

Li Zongkai replied courteously, and continued, ”Director Liu is correct, theoretically no one should refuse better survival opportunities. But we can’t overlook one point — people fear change. If there’s a smooth transition, I think success is likely. Mr. Yu, what do you think?”

After speaking, Li Zongkai didn’t forget to ask Yuwen’s opinion, showcasing his smooth people skills.

Yuwen nodded slowly, ”That’s right, I was going to say, since everyone can agree, this matter is already 99% done. The remaining 1%, handled gently, should be acceptable to everyone.

For example, the eight who left Civilization Guardian in a fit of anger; if it wasn’t for us encountering an emergency, and Xiaoli guiding them step by step after returning to the barracks, I believe there wouldn’t have been issues.”

Li Zongkai nodded in strong agreement, ”They were confused for a moment, I’ll personally persuade them again, and I’m confident they’ll understand. As for those siblings in the barracks, that’s not a big problem either.”

”Apocalypse Corps is fine too, King Yama, don’t worry.”

Yang Xinqi was equally confident.

”Damn... you three are easy to talk about, but what about me!”

Zhang Xin lit a cigarette, took a sorrowful puff, his temporary leadership position had almost no influence, he could probably only motivate less than a third of the alliance, unless those people volunteered, otherwise, he couldn’t force them even if he wanted to.

Zhang Su laughed, ”I see quite a few people from the Survivor Alliance came today, Old Zhang, go ahead and call over the team captains, and Wu Baokang, I’ll notify him, bring him and Luo Yongzhan over here. I think you all can represent the Survivor Alliance.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin clapped in agreement and quickly left the dining hall to go fetch them.

Within three to five minutes, several people trickled into the hall, Zhao Dezhu escorted Luo Yongzhan, and Wu Baokang wasn’t bound, but someone followed him like a shadow — Ju Mumio.

Zhang Su didn’t give specific instructions, but Ju Mumio had already taken on monitoring Wu Baokang, the dangerous figure, as her responsibility, quite diligently.

”Let me introduce everyone, this is Captain of Vanguard Corps’ second team, Younger Brother Cai, Cai Zhichao. This is the captain of the Search Second Team, and the captain of the Search Third Team, Zhou Le, haha.”

Zhang Xin introduced the small team captains from the Survivor Alliance and couldn’t help bursting into laughter when talking about Zhou Le...

Zhou Le’s face fell, he looked extremely frustrated at Zhang Xin, suspecting yesterday’s events must have been known to this person, feeling anxious.

”Haha, so you’re Zhou Le, I heard it was you who reported the zombie horde to Liao Youzhi yesterday. Good job, proactive feedback, very proactive! Nice to meet you two!”

Zhang Su wasn’t bothered by Zhou Le’s affairs, he didn’t have the time to get caught up with a small soldier, he cheerfully greeted a few of them.

”Nice to meet you too...”

Seeing Zhang Su didn’t seem to pursue the matter, Zhou Le was temporarily relieved and nodded incessantly with a forced smile.

”King Yama is too kind.”

Cai Zhichao also greeted Zhang Su politely, though his face didn’t show any wariness, he felt some internally, after all, they were hostile enemies barely half an hour ago.

”Come, Wu Baokang, stand with them.”

Zhang Su motioned to Wu Baokang standing aside.

”Why should I stand with them? We’re not on the same level, they’re not qualified!”

Wu Baokang shook his head disdainfully.

This statement was indeed correct previously; the status of the Guard Team captain was quite lofty. But now, the leader had passed, leaving only two guards alive, and the entire Guard Team was essentially defunct, hardly anything to boast about...

”What do you have left in the Guard Team, you’re only a captain? What are you bragging about? Get over here!”

Zhao Dezhu suddenly saw his father-in-law give him a look, and he cursed, then kicked him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Baokang had no chance to dodge the kick, stumbling forward.

”You motherfucker!”

Wu Baokang turned, ready to explode at Zhao Dezhu.

Before Ju Mumio could act, Zhang Su spontaneously placed a hand on Wu Baokang’s shoulder.

”Captain Wu, let’s first talk business!”

Zhang Su’s words softly reached Wu Baokang’s ears, making his bones ache all over, recalling last night’s scenario where the other easily dominated him, forcing down his anger, he grunted and stood beside Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin wore a cheeky smile, still having the mood to make faces at Wu Baokang.

”Everyone, let me now talk about the problems we are about to face. I hope we can think calmly and rationally. If personal emotions must be involved, that’s fine too. The situation is like this...”

Following that, Zhang Su, Li Zongkai, Yang Xinqi, and Liu Yao summarized the current situation completely.

Cai Zhichao and Zhou Le became small team captains, suggesting they have exceptional abilities, intellect won’t be lacking. They quickly understood the current situation.

”I agree!”

Unexpectedly, while everyone hesitated, the first to raise a hand in agreement was Wu Baokang.

Zhang Su regarded Wu Baokang with a peculiar look, because while explaining the situation earlier, several figures had popped into his mind. Survivor Alliance’s 8/298 had now become 11/298!

Which means amongst the four who entered, three have already decided, leaving an unknown, who’s that fourth one, was this guy pretending?

This was hard to confirm unless someone explicitly stood up and stated their unwillingness!

”Whether it’s the Survivor Alliance or Celestial Horse Island, as long as there’s a place to live, anywhere is fine.”

Following closely, Cai Zhichao shrugged with a smile.

”I’m like Captain Cai. King Yama, if you can accommodate us, we’ll follow your lead from now on. I will also try to persuade my comrades from the third team and their families!”

Attitude firm, Zhou Le understood his limitations and had no ability to go against the tide, nor was there a need!

Among five people, four had voted in favor, Zhang Su naturally shifted his gaze to the only one yet to speak — Luo Yongzhan, whose place here was due to his personal capabilities as a Guard member, not his actual rank’s entitlement!

”If possible...”

Sensing everyone’s eyes on him, Luo Yongzhan spoke hesitantly, ”I wish to leave Qin City, find a new place to live. The large group doesn’t seem suitable for me.”

Case closed!

Zhang Su felt relieved inwardly. Indeed, different positions lead to different expectations, but he was not too bothered, fearing only those who aren’t honest.

”Everyone has their own aspirations; if you can truly commit to leaving Qin City, no one will make things difficult for you. But, you must consider — can you truly go that far on your own? Or perhaps you’ve already chosen a destination?”

Zhang Su didn’t plan to persuade Luo Yongzhan initially, considering the vast population of the four forces made it impossible to convince everyone. But since he was the first to voice opposition, Zhang Su offered a bit more patience, enhancing his image as many were watching.

Luo Yongzhan instinctively glanced towards Qin City’s direction, about to speak when several walkie-talkies simultaneously sounded at the scene.

”Attention Celestial Horse Island, a zombie horde has appeared in the western wilderness, approximately three kilometers from Celestial Horse Island, heading towards the camp at normal speed. Attention Celestial Horse Island...”

An urgent female voice echoed in the hall.
