Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

”Brother Su, there was something happening at the North Second Ring Road last night!”

As teams of personnel drove away, Qi Xiaoshuai and Pang Dakun stepped forward to report to Zhang Su.

”Oh?”

Zhang Su looked surprised and leaped off the tank, hurriedly asking, ”Tell me more!”

”When we arrived at West Camp Village, it wasn’t even midnight. Everything stayed quiet until over three o’clock. At 4:03, I saw headlights flickering in the city direction, but buildings blocked the view, so it’s hard to see clearly.

The most important thing is at 4:34, two cars, should be two, even if the lights are off, it should be visible, appeared at the eastern end and sped west along the road!”

”Yeah, I saw it too, speeding like mad, swish!”

Pang Dakun added a comment to show his presence after Qi Xiaoshuai finished. He should’ve been asleep at that time but couldn’t fall asleep, so he joined Qi Xiaoshuai on duty.

”Heading from east to west, two cars...”

Zhang Su stroked his chin and frowned, ”Probably fled from Mountain and Sea District, heading to Tang City. No need to worry. Xiaoshuai, Dakun, you two will stay permanently at West Camp Village to keep an eye on the progress of the Chuhai River construction, alright?”

According to the preliminary plan, we need to rid the river of residual zombies first, then clean and deepen the riverbed, followed by construction of defensive structures on both banks, the project is huge.

Though this project benefits everyone on Celestial Horse Island, we cannot ensure that everyone involved in it will be devoted; we need someone to oversee it, not just one person. With fewer people, it’s impossible to manage; we must assign core members.

Upon hearing the task, Qi Xiaoshuai made a funny face and said, ”If I watch over the project during the day, I can’t stand watch at night, I won’t have the energy, Brother Su. Also, I have to attend training in the afternoon!”

”That’s right, that’s right, Uncle, you shouldn’t treat us as construction overseers, we’re warriors of the Yama Corps!”

Pang Dakun puffed out his chest, showing a defiant demeanor, eyes glancing at Ju Mumio walking away from the parking lot toward the ravine, his intention was clear, she was his goal.

”You won’t need to stand watch; I’ll pick someone from the other divisions for that. You two focus on the mornings; as for the afternoons... I’ll arrange two more people to join.”

As he said this, Zhang Su already had plans in his mind. In West Camp Village, Ma Changshou currently had little to do in farming and breeding, sparing half the day isn’t difficult. Besides, West Camp Village is his base, where he’s well-acquainted with the Chuhai River situation, talents should be used where most needed.

The other person considered was Li Zongkai; although he’s now assisting Liu Yao and Yang Xinqi, if Zhang Su assigns a task personally, those two won’t object.

Ma Changshou and Li Zongkai both have sharp minds, pairing them as overseers surely complements each other.

”Brother Su, there’s another issue, communication!” Qi Xiaoshuai took out a walkie-talkie and waved, ”This thing unless in great condition, otherwise to contact here from West Camp Village relies on luck.”

”I know that, don’t worry, the barracks brought over some awesome communication gear, including some repeaters, placed on the railway bridge, communication between both ends will not be an issue!”

Zhang Su wasn’t at all troubled about this; the equipment now is sufficiently stocked.

”I knew Uncle would have it sorted, and yet you worried for so long. Yawn, I’m dead tired, Uncle, I’m going to sleep, not going to be late for afternoon training.”

Pang Dakun stayed up all night, now he’s in a daze.

”Alright, you both go take a rest!”

After his chat with Qi Xiaoshuai and Pang Dakun, Zhang Su immediately called Yang Xinqi, who was still on standby in the parking lot, to organize two shifts to watch over West Camp Village; this task couldn’t be indefinitely handled by the Yama Corps.

Then he looked at Wu Lue scratching his head in the corner.

”Luezi, haven’t got you anything to do yet?”

Wu Lue glanced around, besides him, there were actually over twenty others on standby, he smiled and said, ”Yeah, haha, Brother Su, I’m full of energy, always ready!”

”Good, uh, Old Li, call your comrades from the barracks specializing in comms, then go with Wu Lue to set up the communication relay stations, ensure communication is unhindered within a ten-kilometer radius centered on Celestial Horse Island.”

”Understood, I’ll go notify them right away!”

Li Zongkai didn’t dare to delay, greeted Liu Yao and Yang Xinqi, then descended to call the men.

Wu Lue, watching Li Zongkai’s bustling figure, scratched his head and said, ”Brother Su, you remember the high-speed train above the southern railway bridge?”

”How could I forget that? I just mentioned to Xiaoshuai, setting a repeater on the railway bridge guarantees communication between Celestial Horse Island and Chuhai River, was I right?”

Zhang Su was only guessing based on intuition, not entirely sure, he sought professional advice.

Wu Lue rolled his eyes, calculated briefly, and nodded, ”Should be fine, what I’m saying is, can we find a time to clear out the high-speed train?”

”Clear out the high-speed train? What, you’re eyeing the electronic equipment there?”

Zhang Su asked with a quizzical expression.

A high-speed train costs billions, packed with plenty of technological essence, he knew there was lots of useful material on it, but for various reasons, he hadn’t considered utilizing it; it’s such a massive thing, not worried about anyone removing it easily.

Wu Lue chuckled, ”Brother Su, you get me, there’s so much good stuff on it. I think, with our current strength, managing it isn’t tough, then dismantle it, it’s all treasure, haha!”

”We’ll check once everyone’s settled. You focus on the communication setup for now.”

Zhang Su didn’t agree; this task requires a large mobilization, no time for that now.

After his talk with Wu Lue, Zhang Su turned and saw Duan Wuhu pushing Fu Weijun for a stroll in the distance, seemingly heading toward the scenic spot.

He had mixed feelings for this fervent researcher, feeling a bit smart now, knowing not to experiment on his own, but shouldn’t risk companion’s lives!

Duan Wuhu and Fu Weijun greeted Zhang Su from afar, then saw him heading towards Cui Leng Pavilion, Fu Weijun said gloomily, ”Brother Duan, do you think Mr. Zhang won’t use those thalamuses on someone else?”

This was Fu Weijun’s main concern right now; having made mistakes, he could only suffer.

Duan Wuhu kept pushing the wheelchair toward the dilapidated scenic area gate, chuckled heartily, ”Brother Zhang is known for being decisive, if he promised to keep them for you, he surely will. But you, really have to be more sensible in the future, stop those baffling actions!”
