Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

”Mutated zombies... Brother Su, are we really going to kill them directly?”

Chen Hanzhou and the others dispersed their positions and quietly approached Zhang Su, asking softly, his tone full of regret.

Zhang Su glanced thoughtfully at Chen Hanzhou and said, ”Have you been influenced from researching with Dr. Fu frequently?”

Chen Hanzhou scratched his head a bit awkwardly: ”Haha, I feel that each type of mutated zombie is very rare. Look at the Flaming Zombie, it’s so useful. If it dies, it doesn’t mean it’s useless, but its value is definitely diminished, right? So I think we can attempt to capture mutated zombies.”

Zhang Su exhaled a deep breath, looked towards the direction of the office building, and said somewhat wistfully, ”I know the utilization of zombies is important, but everyone’s life is precious too. We don’t even know the abilities of that mutated zombie, how could we dare to keep it casually...”

”Exactly!” Zheng Xinyu pouted from the side: ”Black gas floating around, just thinking about it is disgusting, how many days without showering to emit black gas, will it choke someone to death?”

”What sister-in-law said is right, turning all black is not to be messed with, killing it solves the problem, see the Venom Zombie, it’s only better utilized after death, right?”

Wang Xin returned to the front line, he had no curiosity about the black gas zombie; whether it could be utilized to create value is unknown, but the danger is real.

Chen Hanzhou lowered his head slightly, and when everyone was unaware, his eyes flashed with red light, then he raised his head and shrugged: ”Alright, even dead it has research value, you’re right.”

”You’re quite something, your combat power is getting stronger and you haven’t forgotten to develop your intellect, can you manage being both on the battle line and in the lab?”

Zhang Su teased, patting Chen Hanzhou’s arm. The firm muscles are a testament to his hard work.

Chen Hanzhou smiled somewhat embarrassedly: ”I fear being idle, whenever I’m idle I want to find something to do. Well, I’ll go take my position first.”

After speaking, he walked towards the arranged position.

As soon as Chen Hanzhou left, Ju Mumio floated like a ghost beside Zhang Su, startling Zheng Xinyu nearby with a strange expression as she glared at her.

”Sorry, I need to talk business with Brother Su, don’t overthink it.”

Unexpectedly, Ju Mumio proactively explained to Zheng Xinyu, sensing a jealous hostility and feeling this misunderstanding needed to be clarified on the spot.

Ju Mumio’s voice was very quiet, but Zhang Su could hear it clearly, and couldn’t help but smirk.

Zheng Xinyu felt particularly embarrassed, wanted to explain, but knowing her thoughts were basically seen through by the other side, explanation was futile, so she simply snorted lightly and turned her back.

”What’s up?”

Zhang Su looked at Ju Mumio with a questioning gaze.

”I felt a strange fluctuation coming from Chen Sang.”

Ju Mumio’s voice was very light, but her tone was very serious, using a very formal address.

Zhang Su frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to glance at Chen Hanzhou, but held back, furrowing his brows in contemplation: Chen Hanzhou indeed has peculiarities, but if it’s just wound healing, Ju Mumio should have felt it long ago and wouldn’t find it strange.

”Could it be that this snow is affecting Chen Hanzhou!?”

Zhang Su thought of this, was shocked, and quickly recalled past events, Chen Hanzhou was bitten after the first heavy rain, during the first snow, after the second rain he discovered he had rapid wound healing ability, and now the third rainfall...

The answer is obvious, precipitation can strengthen zombies and also affect Chen Hanzhou; in other words, there is indeed a ”Zombie Robot” lurking within Chen Hanzhou, and he also benefits from the ”Zombie Robot” in some way!

Either become the master of power or a puppet of power, it seems eventually there are only these two paths to choose?

”I understand, thank you.”

Zhang Su nodded to Ju Mumio, this Sakura woman did her part for Celestial Horse Island beyond words, he initially thought she would be haughty and difficult to interact due to her high combat prowess, but from her current behavior, she indeed is a bit difficult, but that’s with others, her handling of matters is seamless, and she never shirks responsibility, which is comforting.

”It’s my duty, if possible...” Ju Mumio looked at Zhang Su intensely, and asked with a slight request: ”I hope to return to Celestial Horse Island before nightfall, I’m concerned Xiaoling might be scared, please allow it.”

Hearing this, Zheng Xinyu widened her eyes at the dim street and made a face, realizing this person was really just thinking about her little lover Yi Xiaoling...

Zhang Su raised his wrist to look at the time, it’s after four in the afternoon, it gets dark early in winter, adding the lingering dark clouds, the outside at the moment is no different from night, yet he’s accustomed to night vision, hence didn’t notice.

”Alright, once this situation is handled, you can drive back, Celestial Horse Island should be fine, otherwise someone would come over with news. We won’t be back until tomorrow at least, anything could happen at night, you’ll feel more at ease once back!”

Zhang Su granted Ju Mumio’s request, Celestial Horse Island has a group of people now; in the past its combat power was considerable, capable of resolving many issues with ease, even thousands of zombies attacking the city wouldn’t be feared, but things are different now, not to mention ten thousand zombies, a thousand zombies impacting the camp could cause unimaginable disaster!

After discussing, Ju Mumio obviously felt more relaxed, returning to her position to stand guard, but she still adhered to her principles, not bringing a gun, holding a steel rod, and drawing out an exquisite long dagger found in Gong Chengming’s house, quietly eyeing the street ahead.

”Are you researching Xiaozhouzhou?”

Zheng Xinyu noticed Zhang Su standing beside her, and asked softly.

”Yes, did you notice anything?”

Zhang Su didn’t hide it and nodded.

”A little bit...” Zheng Xinyu put down the weapon, vaguely glancing towards Chen Hanzhou, and said: ”Xiaozhouzhou was always staring at the cargo truck before, I think he’s very interested in the Fire-breathing Zombie.”

”When did this happen?”

Zhang Su frowned, not having paid attention to this situation, too many things going on, he could hear some gossip, but abnormal behavior of Chen Hanzhou could easily be overlooked.

”Before, from outside of Imperial Garden.”

”Seems there’s indeed some issue, let’s take it one step at a time, currently it’s unclear if it’s good or bad.”

Zhang Su doesn’t plan to rashly sentence Chen Hanzhou to ”death.”

Time passed second by second, Zhang Su kept raising his wrist to check the time, ten minutes had passed since his last contact with Qi Xiaoshuai!

Not to mention ten minutes, when roads are clear, driving from Lego Mall to the kindergarten takes only five minutes, theoretically Qi Xiaoshuai should run faster than normal zombies, it should have arrived by now, but not a single figure appeared, Zhang Su braced himself and listened intently but heard no sound.

”Brother Su, it’s been quite a while, should I go check the situation?”

Wang Xin licked his chapped lips, mainly because the Fire-breathing Zombie was nearby, heating up the surroundings.

Zhang Su tapped his fingers lightly on the walkie-talkie, took a deep breath, and said: ”If there’s danger Qi Xiaoshuai would definitely call for help, let’s wait two more minutes!”

The sky was very quiet, without a breath of wind, ponderously pressing down from above, weighing down on everyone’s heart.

Two minutes, not long surely, but not short for those waiting.

Since Zhang Su’s group came downstairs, the atmosphere upstairs gradually became tense.

Everyone knew what they were up to, those wanting to help found a spot by the windows to look out, those incapable of helping were feeling tension and urgency likewise...

Roar roar... growl.

While everyone was preoccupied with the situation outside, suddenly a mid-aged man bound hand and foot lying in the corner underwent zombification, his thigh had been bitten, he refused amputation, the ultimate outcome was no surprise.

”Old An...”

Some people at Lego Branch looked sorrowfully at the person on the floor, or perhaps can’t be called a person anymore, as he has fully zombified, only cold killing intent left in his eyes, no emotions at all.

”Let me handle it.”

Zhao Dezhu greeted Zhang Ya ready to get up, just as Zhang Xin wielded a dagger and decisively dealt with the former companion.

Zhang Su could faintly hear what’s happening upstairs, but he had no time to attend to it, focusing intently on his watch, just when less than ten seconds were left, his ears perked up, his expression tightened as he raised his gun and said, ”Get ready, they’re back!”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone hadn’t understood how Zhang Su knew, then they heard Qi Xiaoshuai’s loud shout on the opposite side.

”Hurry up grandkid, follow grandpa fast! Damn it...”

Soon, Qi Xiaoshuai’s agile figure emerged from beside the office building, glanced back, then dashed towards the road, stood on the double yellow line for a while, then headed swiftly towards Lego Shopping Mall.
