Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

Huang Yixiao didn’t expect the other side to see through his secret so quickly, and still with such a casual demeanor. This made his heart skip a beat, so he quickly put on a fierce expression and emphasized, ”This is not an ordinary transformation drug. As long as I swallow this, none of you will be enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!”

”You still have time to leave now, I won’t hold it against you for what happened earlier. Otherwise, once I take the pill, you’ll regret it but won’t have the chance!”

”Regret but won’t have the chance?”

At this, Zhang Su let out a sneer, it reminded him of Liao Youzhi’s boastful talk about how the Corpse Transformation Bomb could cover the entire Qin City. In the end, it couldn’t even cover a town without the help of winds.

In this world now, you can’t believe a word people say, especially when they brag to their enemies...

”Since it’s so powerful, just go ahead and eat it, I’ll see how big the gap between your teeth really is.”

Zhang Su raised a hand, signaling the other to go ahead and eat it, today he really didn’t believe in this evil.

Huang Yixiao took a deep breath, his dirty face twitching slightly, his hand gripping the wax pill was trembling. His words were not only exaggerated but also hid the truth...

The drug within the wax pill was indeed quite potent, but the side effects were very forceful, even scarier than the red pepper pill. There’s no turning back, once taken, it’s a path straight to death, just having a bit of power to finish unfinished business before dying.

”What’s wrong? Unwilling to eat, refusing to eat, or scared to eat? Seems all the same, since you don’t dare to eat it, then hand it over!”

Before Zhang Su finished speaking, he was on the move.

He initially did plan to see the effect after the other took it, but regretted it after speaking. Firstly, he wasn’t conceited enough to think, even with increased combat power, that he was invincible, and if things got really out of hand, it would be disastrous.

Besides, if it was really as impressive as the other claimed, it would be better to take it back for research instead of wasting it.

Swish...

”Ah...”

Huang Yixiao naturally wasn’t as fast as Zhang Su but instinctively dodged as the other attacked, while trying to crush the wax pill with all his might, planning to fight to the death. But before he could crush it, he felt pain in his wrist and his arm lightened.

Clatter.

His wrist was neatly severed, the wax pill and the hand both fell to the ground, blood spilled generously.

”I’ll fight you to the end!”

Surprised by the sneak attack severing his hand, Huang Yixiao’s eyes filled with blood, he went berserk, shouted, stopped dodging, and charged directly, waving his other arm with great bravado.

Thud, thud...

It must be said, Huang Yixiao’s combat capability was still decent. With just one arm, he managed two moves with Zhang Su, though mainly because Zhang Su didn’t want to take his life, otherwise one strike would’ve settled it.

For Huang Yixiao to have such capability was already not bad. If it were in peak condition, his combat power could almost match four to six with Lu Yubo!

Bang...

Two clashes were the limit. Zhang Su wouldn’t bind one arm just because his opponent had one left and struck again, his fist like a large pot slammed into the other’s head!

With a thud, solidly.

Huang Yixiao staggered back, seeing stars and feeling dizzy...

Those scenes of giving enemies time to recover after being hit only show up in brain-dead TV shows. In reality, Zhang Su didn’t give Huang Yixiao time to rest, stepped forward and delivered three more punches!

Bam bam... bam, not too soft or too hard, leaving one bewildered and dizzy.

Huang Yixiao finally couldn’t stand it, his vision went black and he fell to the ground, not knowing if he had a cerebral hemorrhage...

”Still bloody dared to fight recklessly, who gave you that courage, Cao.”

Zhang Su muttered, bending over to pick up the white wax pill from the ground, which already had tiny cracks, just needed a bit more force to crush.

He sniffed it.

”Ugh!”

A repulsive stench oozed from the cracks, hit his nose, making Zhang Su feel his stomach churn, thankfully he hadn’t had lunch, otherwise, it would be spilled all over!

”What a shitty thing, no wonder he didn’t dare to eat it!”

Zhang Su swallowed dryly, thinking for a pill that makes one fight to the death, couldn’t they make it taste a bit better, this disgusting experience before death was too bad. Could it be that they want the one who swallows it to spread that disgust onto the enemy?

Sss, sss...

Zhang Su tore a few pieces of cloth from Huang Yixiao. The wax pill originally the size of a longan was wrapped until it was fist-sized, finally, the stench was gone, he stuffed it into his bag, then dragged Huang Yixiao back to the convoy.

”Husband, what happened to this guy...”

Zheng Xinyu saw Zhang Su dragging back a dead fish, wiped some sweat from her forehead, and asked curiously.

”This guy was the one responsible for the earlier negotiation, he should have some status in Absolute Justice, likely he’s the only one left alive, keep him for questioning, give me the rope.”

”Here you go!”

Zheng Xinyu pulled out a small coil of rope from her bag and handed it to Zhang Su, then began to report the battle damage situation.

Zhang Su listened silently, personally tying up Huang Yixiao, then joined in the rescue efforts.

After busy working for about half an hour, and through tense resuscitation, with the miraculous power of the Zombie Thalamus, fourteen heavily injured were saved in time and all were out of danger, of which twelve were combat personnel, and the last two unlucky ones were two in the front row of the captive team...

After treatment, the wounded recovered well, each looking spirited.

On the contrary, those whose injuries weren’t life-threatening felt discomfort since their wounds didn’t require the magical treatment but were cut and stinging painfully, each grinning painfully.

Of course, the most heartbreaking was the three combat personnel who never returned to this world, one from the kindergarten branch, two from the automobile park branch...

The ordinary members of the automobile park branch worked together, using various tools to dig three large pits along the highway in the withered wood forest. Receiving a decent burial is a rare dignity in the apocalypse, while those of Absolute Justice who died didn’t receive such treatment.

”Unpredictable storms in the sky, unpredictable fortune in life, farewell my three brothers!”

Zhang Su stood with others at the simple mounds of earth, the three fallen brothers lay in the pits, he held three lit cigarettes in his hand, incense curling, he bowed to the ground, then inserted the cigarettes in front of the mounds, then took Ju Mumio’s wine flask and spilled it in front of the three mounds.

Sizzling splash.

The liquor spilled on the earth, quickly absorbed by the dry soil, as if the fallen brothers savored the wine.

”Three brothers, smoke good cigarettes, drink good wine, and rest in peace, the twenty-six lives of Absolute Justice are buried with you, but it’s not enough... If you ask me, there’s no need to rush to be reborn, who’s even having kids in this world, right?

Wait a bit longer, there will be more crazy Absolute Justice to bury with you! Remember, these are my words, and I’ll make them come true for you!”

Zhang Su’s tone wasn’t passionate, even a bit low, people farther couldn’t hear it, but it gave those nearby goosebumps.

Putting aside humor in King Yama’s jokes, his promise was serious, not only said for the dead to hear but also shown to the living!

Zhang Su slowly capped the flask and returned it to Ju Mumio, then turned to the rescued people from the automobile park branch, loudly saying: ”These three traded their sacrifice for your lives, pay your respects!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xinqi immediately led people forward, solemnly bowing three times in front of the mounds, then observing a minute of silence.

Funeral customs aren’t for the dead to see, they hold different meanings at different times, and currently, using this form can well educate the living, warn everyone, letting them know that tranquility doesn’t come without cost, the reason they can enjoy peaceful times is because someone carries the weight forward.

When the ceremony ended, Zhang Su called Yang Xinqi over, pointed to the crowd, and said, ”I see that sister there is devastated, is she related to one of the fallen brothers?”

”Sigh...” Yang Xinqi rubbed the wound on his temple, nodded heavily, ”Her name is Peng Ying, and she was a pair with the one by that grave, they both came to the automobile park one after another, later got together, really a pair of star-crossed lovers...”

Zhang Su looked over at Peng Ying, surrounded by a few elderly women comforting her, good-hearted people trying to warm her wounded heart, but words were ultimately powerless.

He turned to Zheng Xinyu and said, ”When you have time, get in touch with Peng Ying, give her some material compensation, and also ask about her future plans. If she wants to continue as logistics personnel, find her some jobs she likes, and if she wants to take up arms, bring her to the Reserve Team, training together with the female corps.”

”OK, leave it to me!”

Zheng Xinyu nodded in agreement, these are part of her duties.
