Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

”Zhou Haotian, I’ve arranged for you to become a temporary member of the Yama Corps, is there any issue?”

Zhang Su made the decision, accepting the smart young man, because the team needed someone who could think.

”Brother Zhang, can I really become a... temporary member of the Yama Corps?”

Zhou Haotian couldn’t help but ask, his face full of excitement.

”You, kid... what sort of person is Leader Zhang? If he personally says it, surely it’s not fake? Just say thank you and be done with it!”

Yang Dongxin quite liked Zhou Haotian, this junior, seeing his slow realization made him anxious.

Zhou Haotian finally reacted, hurriedly expressing gratitude: ”Thank you Brother Zhang for your support, thank you, thank you...”

”I also value your abilities. If you perform well subsequently, you can be promoted to a formal member. If not, you’ll head over to the Reserve Team for some honing!”

”I will do my utmost!”

Zhou Haotian stood upright like a javelin, then raised a somewhat embarrassed smile: ”Brother Zhang, well... I dare to ask, does a temporary member of the Yama Corps need that... combat training?”

”That’s a rhetorical question. In the Yama Corps, regardless of gender, everyone must have the capability to independently kill zombies and, in critical moments, step up as a temporary commander to stabilize situations. Combat capability is the foundation of everything. Unless there are special circumstances, training starts every day at half past one!”

Zhang Su said solemnly.

Zhou Haotian didn’t fool around this time, he nodded seriously. The challenge was indeed big, but he was still young and had the capital to face challenges, though the time spent in the Survivor Alliance was too comfortable, slightly dulling his drive.

”Alright, you three start anew from today’s page, enter a new life. Yang Dongxin, after you leave, find... Yang Liehuo or Zhong Xiaoshan to report. Explain the situation to them, just say I sent you to the village as a warehouse manager, and conveniently find a place to stay.”

Zhang Su tilted his head at Yang Dongxin, indicating he could leave, completely unbothered if he dared to falsify.

”Yang Liehuo, Zhong Xiaoshan, got it... Goodbye, both.”

Yang Dongxin muttered the names, then nodded farewell to the two people beside him, moved his steps, and his expression turned complex as he looked around. Previously he despised this miserable place, but now it seemed it was an important gateway from darkness into light.

As he walked past Zhang Su, Yang Dongxin bowed and then left the warehouse.

”Zhou Haotian, go out and find... let me think. Go find Ju Mumio, and don’t look for anyone else. You must find her and explain the situation. Have her find a house for you at Qingfeng Xiaozhu. From now on she’ll be your... advisor.”

Zhang Su chuckled inwardly; Ju Mumio usually disliked handling these matters, so he deliberately troubled her since she didn’t go out today...

”Yes, understood!”

Zhou Haotian had many questions but understood that the answers wouldn’t come from the person before him. So after saying goodbye to Zuo Fengjuan, he left the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse was only Zuo Fengjuan left. She looked at the dim environment, wondering why she was left alone, moreover...

Cre...ak...

Zhang Su turned and closed the warehouse door.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Fengjuan’s face turned white, blood drained.

”Brother, Brother Zhang, you, you, I, I...”

Zuo Fengjuan felt something bad was about to happen but couldn’t understand why...

She was just thirty this year, somewhat pretty when groomed, but now her face was a mess and her clothes askew, lacking any appeal, coupled with the environment being too disgusting, could a leader of such a big camp really have such an eccentric taste?

Zhang Su saw Zuo Fengjuan clutching her neckline and knew what she was thinking, he removed his glasses and said, ”Don’t be nervous.”

Indeed, no need to be nervous, nothing’s a big deal as long as one can survive, she should feel happy to receive the leader’s favor!

Suddenly, Zuo Fengjuan felt relaxed and loosened her grip on her neckline, even stepping forward a bit, weakly saying: ”Brother Zhang... do you need anything?”

”Exactly, I have something important to tell you!”

Zhang Su’s mood changed from relaxed to serious.

”Okay, speak.”

Upon hearing the tone, Zuo Fengjuan’s shy expression instantly vanished, and her eyes got serious.

”Dr. Fu is extremely explorative, often undertaking actions without considering consequences. While I admire his scientific spirit, I need you to keep a very close watch on him. Report any risky behavior to me immediately without letting anyone else know about this. Understood?”

Zhang Su spoke with resolute determination.

”Understood.”

Zuo Fengjuan pondered for a moment, then slowly but firmly nodded.

”Very good.” Zhang Su approved, then said, ”Dr. Fu made a mistake, so he’s under suspension for observation currently. The lab now has only Xie Yanshan. I’ll arrange for you to enter the lab as an assistant, that way it’ll seem more natural.”

”No problem, I’ll follow Brother Zhang’s arrangements.”

Zuo Fengjuan felt a burst of excitement; though she would be acting as an undercover, serving the leader was a great honor, but wouldn’t anything really happen? It’s somewhat regrettable...

”Let’s go, I’ll lead you out.”

Zhang Su stepped forward, patting Zuo Fengjuan on the shoulder, then they both left the warehouse.

Outside they saw several people transporting bodies, shocking Zuo Fengjuan...

”No need to be shocked, those were previous victims bitten by zombies who couldn’t be saved.”

Zhang Su knew what Zuo Fengjuan was thinking, explained naturally, then introduced her to Xie Yanshan, also sent her to find Ju Mumio for house arrangements at Qingfeng Xiaozhu.

Later, Zhang Su checked on Qiu Hui; after regular medication, Qiu Hui’s condition was getting stable, maintaining balance through external force.

Everything on Celestial Horse Island was running orderly, and the organization of the Satellite Village down the mountain was progressing. The harvests of outings were mixed but very steady without any accidents.

Approaching noon, wisps of cooking smoke floated in the air over the village’s courtyard used as a canteen. Under strong coordination, in just one morning, many things turned from chaotic to orderly.

After lunch, combat personnel from each department returned to the village for internal affairs, Yama Corps members gathered at the mountain stream.

”A trip to Qin City, damn it, narrowly escaping loss of troops! Xiaoliu crawled back from the Ghost Gate with a dog’s life! You bunch! Huh? Before you all felt high and mighty, now still feeling that way? Zombies have only gotten a little stronger, yet look at you, so weak!”

Zhang Su changed into neat attire, pacing back and forth in front of the Yama Corps. This operation exposed many issues that must be addressed.

Liu Tianji found Zhang Su’s words funny but covered his face, recalling the injury scene, unable not to look at Lu Yubo, who was one of his saviors.

Zhao Dezhu wore a peculiar expression, almost sneering to himself, just got a little stronger?

Redefining ’a little stronger’!

Ju Mumio stood at the edge of the crowd, expressionless, but secretly annoyed by the annoying tail—Zhou Haotian.

Everyone’s faces displayed similar or different emotions, the environment was safe and peaceful, yet the real danger never dissipated, filling them with constant pressure.
