Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

Zhang Su’s gaze continued to shift, seeing the zombies scattered on the distant plain gradually being attracted by the shouting. He pressed his palms down, signaling everyone, and spoke loudly.

”The successful detonation of the grape is not just my achievement, it’s the result of many working together, the perseverance of our sentry comrades, the relentless research of our scientific personnel, the precise deployment by our drone operators, and everyone present. You are the witnesses, witnessing a great moment!”

The leader enjoys admiration and compliments, needing to distribute the credit to everyone; the honor belongs to everyone.

A round of enthusiastic cheers erupted again. Liu Yao, Yang Xinqi, and Li Zongkai, former leaders of factions, cheered along with their former subordinates. They were no longer leaders, having adjusted their mindsets to become one of the forces.

”Brother Su, the zombie horde that was diverted has started moving, but some of those farther away are still in a state of confusion!”

Zhang Ya’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, with a strange electric sound, possibly due to the explosion of the grape having some effect.

”Brother Su, Brother Su, should we put in another grape?”

Then, a serious voice asked about the suggestive topic.

Everyone’s expressions were interesting; could such an explosion happen again?

At this moment, they couldn’t help but wonder how many fireworks Celestial Horse Island could set off?

Zhang Su seemed to know what everyone was thinking, picked up the walkie-talkie, and casually said to Wu Lue, ”We’ll leave the zombies heading west for exercise, and give the grape to the zombies heading north!”

”Haha, got it!”

Wu Lue’s response was filled with delight.

It was Zhang Su’s calm demeanor and Wu Lue’s joy that left others guessing, wondering if such explosions could often be used. If so, this camp would be extraordinarily secure.

Some people simply gave up on figuring it out, thinking why bother; it’s not something they should consider!

”Everyone!”

Zhang Su didn’t give everyone a chance to think wildly, swiftly drawing out a Celestial Horse Island standard steel rod and pointing it west: ”Zombies are coming; we can’t let them trample our home. It’s our turn to strike, and if you’re brothers, pierce them to death! But remember, your lives are what’s most important!”

”Ah, kill them!”

”Ah...”

The encouraging words stirred up a fever pitch, everyone picking up their cold weapons, fully prepared.

The shouting hastened the zombies’ rush to the road, reducing a four to five-minute journey to just a minute or two, with the first wave of zombies from the west arriving.

The horde of zombies charged forward, while two drones successively took off from Celestial Horse Island, moving slowly northward, presumably to avoid ”air incidents” due to excessive speed.

Pan Guoliang sat in the tank with a peculiar expression, lighting another cigarette. He was supposed to shine next, but the leader chose a quicker method to solve the problem, wanting to draw his weapon and join the road battle but didn’t dare leave his post.

Awooooo!

The original horde from the west had seven to eight thousand zombies, spreading out somewhat; only about three thousand were rushing toward the road now, scattered and lacking the oppressive feel of a group. They charged intermittently, giving combatants time to catch their breath, losing all advantages and unable to even touch the human hem.

The weakest on-site combatants were the Celestial Horse Island Reserve Team, with everyone else being former elites from various factions, perhaps not as strong as the Yama Corps’ champions, but definitely impressive!

Without thinking ability, the zombies charged straight at the cheval de frise, greeted by lethal strikes, eliminated without any sloppiness, and promptly thrown to the rear.

The weaker, all-female forces didn’t fight for zombie kills, focusing on dragging zombie corpses to the barren field at the back to prevent the cheval de frise from being overwhelmed by accumulated bodies.

Generally, leaders don’t personally fight, not because they are weak—excluding Li Zongkai, who indeed had ordinary skills—but because they need to oversee overall command. But today’s situation was different.

As the zombie horde approached, Zhang Su jumped from the vehicle, armed with a steel rod, and charged without hesitation!

His fighting skill was absolute peak among everyone, having previously dispatched Liao Youzhi swiftly with special methods, but in this race battle, he planned to fully showcase his skills, yet...

He opted to use only half his strength, considering he still had to command, thus refrained from dual-wielding.

A steel rod in his hand turned into a raging dragon; whether stabbing, diagonal thrusting, smashing, or sweeping, every strike was essentially a one-hit kill.

He discovered integrating some power techniques from ”Mad Dog Fist” into Ju’s Martial Arts remarkably enhanced his prowess.

Zombies requiring others three to five hits crumbled before Zhang Su, creating the illusion he activated a corrosive aura, weakening their defense.

Zhang Su’s performance gave others the impression that if not for uniting with surrounding allies and commanding the battle, he could single-handedly charge into the horde, or perhaps... attack seven times and retreat seven times?

”Throw this zombie separately!”

After dispatching another zombie, Zhang Su specifically instructed, holding a zombie that withstood three attacks—a Mutated Petrified Skin Zombie.

He tossed it to the Reserve Team for corpse clearance, seamlessly returning to combat, constantly scanning for other mutated zombies.

Seeing Zhang Su personally fighting left Liu Yao, Yang Xinqi, Li Zongkai, and several Survivor Alliance captains dumbfounded—such actions made them look weak...

Commanding was necessary, but they too rushed forward with weapons, joining the zombie-extermination battle.

The Yama Corps had more than just Zhang Su, with others, excluding the aging Yuwen whose strength waned, each showcasing eye-catching capabilities.

Especially those female figures were all present back in Beidong Town, though later returned to Celestial Horse Island and were assumed to be Yama Corps logistics personnel due to their busy form, but now people realized it was just a vice!

Zhao Xue was the most astonishing.

Her seemingly delicate appearance transformed from Lin Daiyu before descending the mountain to a female Fang Shiyu afterward, with few people maintaining composure, slaughtering zombies without baring teeth or grimacing, just calmly killing, killing, killing.

Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan fought side by side, with Xinyu wielding a steel rod, not only managing her front but also occasionally watching over Xiaoshan, trained less due to clerical duties.

Yet Zhong Xiaoshan handled the situation well, albeit not as deftly as Xinyu; their cooperation was very coordinated.

Large Tan Huajun was conspicuous; her build wasn’t slimmer than pre-apocalypse, instead growing sturdier due to rigorous training, gaining around twenty pounds, more robust than many men.

Of course, her substantial diet contributed significantly; previously, she alone could eat as much as Liu Tianji and Wu Lue combined...

Tan Huajun’s reinforced calipers gained enormous destructive power, their dark brown hue unnerving.

Yu Qing was slightly less impressive, but being Zhang Su’s companion in ”grape picking,” who dared to underestimate her?

Pei Lan had resolved to focus on logistics, but under Chen Hanzhou’s relentless encouragement and supervision, she persevered through training, weaker than the other female members but combat-ready, potentially gaining a Leader’s Wife spot in another faction given her prowess and appearance.

Most outrageous of all was Ju Mumio, standing behind the cheval de frise with a slender steel rod, casually fighting as if slacking off, yet the zombie bodies before her weren’t even cleared in time!

Other factions’ combatants were all male, enjoying noble treatments inside the camp, even unintentionally displaying a male-dominant attitude. But now, that notion was shattered.

The sight of the Yama Corps women fighting infused others with adrenaline, fueling combatants from other camps to ferociously release their masculine prowess upon the zombies!

They silently encouraged themselves, thinking, ”It’s one thing not to match those Yama Corps ’maniacs,’ but we can’t lose to the women, can we?”

Except, that slacking woman wasn’t counted...
