Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

How Wang Zhetao was thinking, Zhang Su was uncertain, but he heard every word of their conversation.

”Damn, you moron!”

Regarding this young man whose mind was still stuck in university, he didn’t have a good impression, but he wouldn’t blame the entire team because of one person, and still followed the original plan, instructing Tan Huajun to deliver some food and drinks.

In Zhang Su’s view, the performance of the Niu Yazi people was very steady, more sincere than other forces, but considering some aspects, he decided to hold off a bit longer.

Among the Niu Yazi people, only Wang Guangjun was a familiar face, considered a comrade who had fought alongside him, but the others, including Wang Guangjun’s precious son, were strangers, completely unknown.

Hearing Wang Zhetao comparing Bridge Town with them, Zhang Su found it amusing.

There had been a cooperative engagement between Celestial Horse Island and Bridge Town before; although not perfectly coordinated, it was pleasant. Both sides kept their promises without crossing boundaries, with Meng Changwei continuously expressing goodwill, which was rare in the apocalypse. Besides...

It seemed that both the Niu Yazi and Bridge Town groups had fled to Celestial Horse Island, but Bridge Town carried abundant supplies, while Niu Yazi couldn’t even come up with a couple of useful items, except for those three broken cars...

Therefore, the two groups couldn’t receive the same treatment. For the sake of past relationships and Tan Huajun’s sentiments, Zhang Su would certainly grant Wang Guangjun some privileges, but would never allow others to think they could rely on Wang Guangjun to enjoy special treatment, like Wang Zhetao!

After finishing with the Niu Yazi village matters, Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief, thinking perhaps he could finally rest now?

Impossible...

After dealing with the newcomers, there were still the old ones, with several pairs of eyes watching him!

Ju Mumio stood under a dead tree, quietly watching Zhang Su, with a slightly puzzled and nervous Yi Xiaoling beside her. Was Ju Mumio possibly interested in Zhang Su? It was this thought that made her nervous...

On another slope, Duan Wuhu was pushing a wheelchair, with Fu Weijun sitting in it, waving at Zhang Su, clearly having something to report. However, Xie Yanshan was nowhere to be seen.

At the mountain gate, Su Xiaoya’s shy eyes flickered. When her gaze met Zhang Su’s, she quickly turned away and ran down the mountain in a flash.

Zhang Su knew that Zhong Xiaoshan still had unresolved matters, but he now had to choose between Ju Mumio and Fu Weijun. In the end, he stepped towards the research department duo, where there was more information he wanted to actively learn about.

Swoosh.

However, before Zhang Su could get close to Fu Weijun, Ju Mumio abruptly blocked the path, her eyes resolute: ”There’s something I want to say to you.”

”Tsk... you’re quite impolite, aren’t you?”

Zhang Su scratched his head with an odd expression. If you have something to say, just come and find me directly. Why wait until I’ve made a choice and then intercept me halfway?

Impolite?

Ju Mumio bowed, ”I have something to say to you!”

”I’m sorry, Brother Zhang, Xiaojuzi, she...”

”I really won’t take long!”

Ju Mumio ignored Yi Xiaoling’s attempts to mediate and immediately turned to Fu Weijun, who was wheeling over, ”I just need five minutes with Brother Su!”

Saying this, she extended a hand toward Fu Weijun, a cartoon bear sticker on her brown wool gloves, which didn’t match her demeanor at all.

Fu Weijun, a typical straight-laced man, realized he shouldn’t insist anymore, looked at Zhang Su, and said, ”Mr. Zhang, I’ll wait for you at Cui Leng Pavilion.”

”Hey, hey, is that Sakura Girl trying to snag a guy from the two ladies?”

In the distance, Qi Xiaoshuai, finally free, was smoking and chatting with Wu Lue.

Wu Lue shook his head confidently, ”No, she’s a lesbian, not interested in men. She must have something else to discuss with Brother Su. However...”

”However what?”

Pang Guoliang, ever the gossip, joined in, offering a cigarette and asking.

”However, Sakura Girl’s companion over there is looking at Brother Su quite differently...”

Wu Lue took the cigarette, contemplating as he analyzed. Though he had never held a woman’s hand, he prided himself on understanding women very well.

Hearing this, everyone turned their thoughtful gaze to Yi Xiaoling.

Ju Mumio and Zhang Su had left, and though their conversation wasn’t particularly confidential, it wasn’t suitable for public discussion.

Yi Xiaoling remained standing, watching their departure, when she suddenly felt some eyes on her. She quickly turned her head and saw four guys grinning at her...

Yi Xiaoling froze for a second, then her face flushed red, and she swiftly bowed her head and hurried away.

”Red-cheeked, wow, did you guys see that?”

”No kidding, her neck’s red too, haha! Luezi, why do you think she’s blushing?”

Wu Lue, affirmed by his peers, put on airs, taking a big drag of his cigarette, then analyzed, ”With her, it’s either she’s embarrassed by us teasing her, making her blush, or she feels her little secret’s been uncovered, making her blush. Otherwise...”

The other three waited for a while, seeing Wu Lue nodding but not speaking, urged him, ”What else, say it?”

”Can’t say, can’t say...”

Wu Lue acted cool, ending up with a round of punches and kicks.

”You damn...”

”Speak up!”

”Hurry up!”

A few punches later, Wu Lue got serious and quickly confessed, ”Well, I just guessed two possibilities, no third, I was just making stuff up. You guys hit so hard, ouch...”

”Damn!”

The three all showed him their middle fingers.

Wu Lue rubbed his beaten chest, wearing a painful mask, ”What we discussed just now, we can’t spread around. If Brother Su finds out we gossip, he’ll surely deal with us.”

”Hey, even if it spreads, it’s your responsibility.”

”Exactly, nothing to do with us.”

”Let’s go, let’s help Luezi spread the word...”

Zhang Su wasn’t aware of the Yama Corps members’ banter. He and Ju Mumio reached a secluded area outside the vegetable shed.

Ju Mumio stopped, and without pretense asked, ”On this trip, you’ve made a major breakthrough, right?”

”What major breakthrough? Just a little gain.”

Zhang Su clasped his hands behind his back, striking a show-off pose, with ”complacent” written on his left cheek and ”smug” on his right.

Ju Mumio didn’t mind Zhang Su’s boastful expression, feeling it was something worth boasting about!

Her expression unchanged, she felt surges of pride continuously crashing in her heart.

”How did you do it? Can you teach me?”

Ju Mumio’s gaze was intensely warm, as if glowing under the dim sky.

”Do what? What are you after?”

Zhang Su was taken aback by her look. Luckily, she looked somewhat fierce, or he’d think a teacher abstained for three months had come for him!

”You in...”

Ju Mumio half-spoke, glancing around. Having integrated into the community, her emotional intelligence was slowly rising, knowing to be conscious of the environment. Seeing the nearest person fifty meters away, she lowered her voice.

”Your state is affecting me, your thoughts, your emotions, they’re impacting me!”

Zhang Su’s eyes narrowed; he thought Ju Mumio was talking about his enhanced combat power, but it turned out to be this, which was quite astonishing. Wait a minute...

”Hey, you can feel it?”

Seeing Ju Mumio nod, Zhang Su held his forehead, frowning, ”That’s bad, isn’t it? Could others possibly feel it too...”

”Woof!”

Unexpectedly, just then, a small figure emerged from the side of the vegetable shed—it was Corgi Good Fortune. It sat on the ground, lowering its jowls, and raising a front paw to pat its white chest, the meaning clear: me too.

The little guy previously thought it had gained some ability, happily following Zhang Su around. After hearing Ju Mumio’s words, it became droopy, but still felt quite glad for Zhang Su.

Zhang Su did a Jackie Chan face-palming moment, utterly speechless. Even a dog could sense it, just incredible!
