Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

Aside from the trucks that couldn’t carry people, the remaining vehicles somehow managed to load all one hundred plus individuals. They were incredibly efficient.

While inspecting the vehicles, Zhang Su and his group didn’t forget to take along any usable items from the cars. They even managed to find some weapons from Absolute Justice. Although these couldn’t fill the gap in supplies, they were still a modest spoil of war.

As the convoy left, a layer of white snow had already covered the ground, and the scattered blood and severed limbs looked particularly desolate and frightening against the snow. However, after four months of apocalyptic baptism, everyone had become immune to such scenes.

While the convoy was driving along West Ring Road, the atmosphere inside Lego Mall became equally heavy.

After Zhang Su left with Liu Yao, Yang Xinqi, and others, Lego Mall was bustling with activity. No one felt uncomfortable due to the leadership change, and the announcement of various welfare policies made everyone quite happy.

The bustling personnel statistics, the design for ventilation modification, and the technical discussions on how to build a communication network all filled everyone with beautiful expectations for the future.

But in the blink of an eye, the winter sun was swallowed by dark clouds, and the atmosphere inside the already dim mall turned pitch black in an instant. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, and anyone a meter away immediately disappeared into the darkness!

The cold and darkness tapped into a primal fear, deeply embedded in human genes, that when activated, causes unease. Especially when these two factors combined, the cheerful atmosphere vanished instantly, until Yuwen arranged for Wu Baokang to light a few high-powered lamps, which alleviated the mood inside Lego Mall.

”What the hell is this, damn!”

Lu Yubo leaned against the window, looking at the rolling dark clouds in the sky. Even he, usually carefree, felt a trace of unease.

”Is it going to snow...”

Tan Huajun sat beside him with a worried look.

”Sigh!”

Through another small window, Liu Tianji looked outside and suddenly sighed, for he had already seen snowflakes faintly falling onto the glass.

”Sis, the snow has started to fall!”

Zhang Ya extinguished her cigarette, furrowing her brows into a knot. Her combat ability was strong, but that didn’t mean she was fond of fighting.

”This is not a good sign.”

Yuwen and Li Zongkai both knew that precipitation could strengthen zombies, but there was nothing they could do about the changing climate. They could only watch as the white snowflakes danced in the dark sky, as if the entire earth shivered uncontrollably.

The only thing they could do was to stabilize everyone’s emotions and boost morale. Fortunately, the influence of Zhang Su and his men still lingered, and with Wu Baokang and Zhang Xin leading the combatants, fear was soon dispelled.

On Celestial Horse Island, when the dark clouds rolled in, most of the people left on the mountain gathered at Little Lucky. The change in weather caused them concern, but their emotions were relatively stable after long-term tempering.

”This snow... I’m afraid it won’t be light!”

Ma Changshou, with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky with a worried expression as cold snowflakes slapped against his face.

”It’s indeed been a long time since the last snowfall!”

Guo Dachao, who had brought back three researchers from the Survivor Alliance, was also at Little Lucky, leaning against the wall and smoking. Yang Wenjie stood beside him, nervously clutching his arm. Thinking about the unknown changes zombies could undergo due to precipitation and the helplessness of humans in the face of it, a wave of frustration swept over her.

”Dachao, how was Brother Su’s side when you got back?”

Zhong Xiaoshan looked towards Guo Dachao through several people, eager for a reliable figure to be by her side in this tense moment.

”We were at Lego Mall back then. The situation was quite good, and the Survivor Alliance people accepted Brother Su very well. I guess Brother Su should be heading to Civilization Guardian by now. If he went west first, then Little Eagle Association and Apocalypse Corps should already be sorted.”

Guo Dachao analyzed seriously. He wasn’t aware of the trouble Yu Nuo later caused, but even if he knew, it wouldn’t have mattered much to him; he remained unfazed.

”This snow really is...”

Zhao Xue reached out to catch a snowflake, muttering softly, filled with emotions.

When she was born, the snow was falling heavily, and her name, though quite common, held a significant meaning. She loved snow very much, but at this moment, her feelings towards it were quite complicated.

”Attention all, attention all!”

Suddenly, a voice came over the intercom. It was Pei Lan on duty in the monitoring room, her voice urgent, ”The zombies detained in the scenic area are showing unusual behavior. Attention all, attention all...”

The number of zombies stored in the mountain scenic temple was not large, strictly controlled at around one hundred, no more than that, mainly for the replacement of zombie generators, research, and extracting thalamus.

The sudden news made everyone’s hearts skip a beat.

”This... it hasn’t been long since it started snowing, could they react so quickly?”

Lü Leiyang took a deep breath, his face solemn, and instinctively drew a steel rod from his waist. Perhaps a battle was about to break out.

Yang Liehuo puffed on his cigarette until only the sponge filter remained, licked his lips, and also stood up, drawing his weapon without saying a word. But his intention was clear: it’s time to act.

”Everyone, it seems we’ll have to take care of those damned things!”

Zhong Xiaoshan’s eyes were resolute as she drew her weapon. Even in camp, she habitually carried the large wrench Zhang Su gave her, which always imbued her with a strange courage.
