Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

”Running, running, dead, dead, does that mean the other three guys in your team are still alive? Can this Fruit Man handle it!”

Zhang Su found that Ding Yong Country’s words were different from what he heard from Zhang Xin, very angry. Interrogation of unfamiliar survivors is a very meticulous job, being so sloppy is absolutely unacceptable!

”No, no!”

Zheng Xinyu shook her head repeatedly, ”You can’t really blame the Fruit Man for this, Uncle Ding did say before that the other few companions were all dead...”

”I... damn, I was so scared at the time, cold, hungry, frightened, and I didn’t say it in detail, it’s my fault, causing you trouble.”

Ding Yong Country looked apologetic, fleeing to Lego Mall with his nephew still in shock, spoke incoherently when facing questioning.

”So what’s the situation exactly?” Zhang Su asked, he didn’t really doubt Ding Yong Country, but still wanted to figure things out.

”Ah Guang’s little girlfriend and Xiaowei are definitely dead, I saw them being bitten by zombies with my own eyes, the blood spurting out a meter away, as for Ah Guang, I saw him seeming to run south, if he wasn’t bitten, he should be alive.”

Ding Yong Country recalled the scenes in the early hours, speaking casually.

He didn’t blame Ah Guang for finding an opportunity to escape, after living most of a lifetime, what can’t you see through, in times of crisis everyone goes their own way, fly as far as your skills allow!

”South...”

”Brother Su, there’s a horde of zombies south of Wenhua Road, estimated three to five hundred, moving northwards. (Try being defiant again, I’ll beat you up...)”

As they chatted, Lu Yubo’s voice came, vaguely Zhang Su heard Zhao Dezhu’s reprimanding voice, no need to guess to know who he was shouting at.

”Three to five hundred, not small, will delay time...” Zhang Su muttered, responded, ”Old Yang, Xiaowang, and Xiaochen, go immediately to assist Bozai in leading the zombies away, can’t manage right now!”

”Roger that...”

Responding in succession, several more cars detached from the convoy, orderly, as for whether leading the horde away would cause other camps to suffer losses, it was no longer within the scope of consideration, everyone was in peril, no time to spare thinking for others!

”Boss Zhang, I remember Lego Mall was originally the headquarters of the Survivor Alliance, the leader’s surname was Liao, but looks like my information is outdated, what’s the situation now, can you tell me?”

Ding Yong Country originally intended to discreetly probe and gather information, but seeing Zhang Su wasn’t putting up airs, decided to ask directly, saving many costs of communication, understanding the situation faster would allow him to contribute better.

”This story is quite long, a lot has happened, as for that guy with the Survivor Alliance...”

”Brother Su, there are scattered zombie hordes blocking the road ahead on East Ring Road, about twenty... thirty!”

They were still chatting here, Qi Xiaoshuai sent news from two kilometers away from the front.

”Talk later, let’s handle the matter first!” Zhang Su’s face turned serious, picked up the walkie-talkie, said, ”Everyone, accelerate immediately towards East Ring Road, get out and solve the zombies together!”

Handling hundreds of zombies wastes too much time and carries risks, as for over thirty zombies, leading them away instead is not worthwhile, better to deal with them directly!

Vehicles sped up one after another, two kilometers, as long as there weren’t zombies blocking, bypassing some common obstacles wasn’t difficult, only three to five minutes, the main force arrived at East Ring Road.

Over thirty ordinary zombies, no big ones, posed no threat to the main force led by Zhang Su, but they had to be actively dealt with, times had changed, those incompetent zombies of the past could be ignored by speeding away, now zombies’ mobility has greatly increased, ignoring them easily leads to trouble.

While Zhang Su was clearing zombies over there, a group of people arrived at the entrance of Celestial Horse Island Mountain, it was very lively.

”Master Zhang, are you here? Brother, I came to look for refuge!”

With one hand on his waist, Meng Changwei shouted loudly, a hint of fatigue showing on his face.

On the mountain road, over forty people gazed towards the mountain gate, their conditions weren’t great, not too bedraggled, just appeared haggard, more than ten vehicles parked on the road, including family cars, SUVs, and several small trucks, couldn’t see what was in the cargo compartments, but through the light some compartments and trunks could be seen packed full.

Inside the mountain gate, more than forty people held weapons, ready and waiting, Zhong Xiaoshan, Yu Qing, and Guo Dachao, among others with guns, had opened their safeties, after hearing the outside noise, everyone was stunned.

”That voice sounds like Meng Changwei from Bridge Town back in the day!”

Guo Dachao showed a puzzled expression, he was among the few who participated in cleaning the Cyan Dragon Corps left on Celestial Horse Island.

”That’s right, it’s him, I remember that voice.” Zhao Xue, who had also seen Meng Changwei at the Cyan Dragon Corps back then, nodded, confirming Guo Dachao’s words.

Zhong Xiaoshan frowned and said, ”I heard from Brother Su about Bridge Town, from the highway it’s a good seventy to eighty kilometers distance, so many cars suddenly arriving, could it be their camp had trouble?”

”Sis, shouldn’t we ask about the situation first?”

Lü Leiyang suggested.

”Alright, I’ll ask!”

Zhong Xiaoshan nodded, picked up a portable loudspeaker on her waist, leaned close to the microphone, ”Are you friends from Bridge Town? Is the person speaking Meng Changwei, Mr. Meng?”

???

Outside the mountain gate, Meng Changwei and his companions looked at each other, then showed strange smiles, a woman’s voice, so unusual!

”I am Meng Changwei, may I know the distinguished name of the lady speaking, the voice is unfamiliar!”

”Brother Su went out early to gather supplies, I’m his... girlfriend, surname Zhong, what do you mean by looking for refuge?”

Speaking, Zhong Xiaoshan gathered some courage, climbed up to the highest commander’s hatch on the tank to look outside.

”Girlfriend?”

Seeing a woman suddenly reveal half her body, Meng Changwei paused, can this identity be the decision-maker?

Murmurs erupted among the group, evidently people from Bridge Town had similar questions, although there were women among their team, their presence was relatively low.

”Master Zhong, pleased to meet you.”

No matter why she was in charge, as long as Celestial Horse people had no objections, Meng Changwei politely clasped his hands.

Zhong Xiaoshan smiled and nodded, showing no intention to open the gate, continued to ask, ”Can you tell me your situation?”

”Oh, don’t mention it, don’t know what’s going on, suddenly the zombies became aggressive like mongrels, our camp has been under repeated attacks, lost several brothers, according to intelligence there’s a large wave of zombies nearby, had to abandon the town and flee, finally managed to come over here, from now on we’ll follow Master Zhang, but we won’t freeload...”

Having said that, Meng Changwei moved to the side of the car to start introducing, these few cars were rice, these were flour, various food ingredients not few, the box trucks were loaded with some household and personal care items, though a major retreat was said, it seemed not rushed, more like a transfer.
