The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

After a night, when the sun shines on the mountain stream, the morning arrives as promised.

It gets light late in the mornings in winter, so people in the camp generally get up later as well. Life is a balance between relaxation and tension. There is military management during training, but no strict requirements in daily life. No one cares if you want to sleep in. There is only so much work to do, and everyone can complete it satisfactorily, so there is no need to be too nervous.

At about 7:30, Zhang Su woke up from bed. The first thing he did was to check the temperature. He was relieved to learn that the temperature did not continue to drop and was basically stable at minus 28 degrees Celsius.

In the past, morning exercises were conducted in Xiao Xingyun's yard, but this time was different. After putting on his clothes, he ran to the mountain gate. He had no other choice but to see the big tank that came back yesterday.

When I walked out of the yard, I found people everywhere. With my excellent hearing, my ears were filled with all kinds of sounds. I was quite uncomfortable for a while.

"We must divert the people away today..."

Zhang Su thought to himself that nearly a hundred people gathered in one place was a huge safety hazard. Triggering the zombies' induction was metaphysics, so he didn't dare to take the chance. Besides, there was no benefit in having people crowded in one place.

When he walked to the parking lot, Zhang Su found that there were already four or five people talking and laughing around the tank. They were all core members of Tianma Island's old team. It seemed that he was not the only one who was obsessed with it. Just like when he bought a Trek when he was cycling, he would get up in the middle of the night with the lights on to watch it.

"Brother Su!"

"Brother Su, you are here."

"Haha, we just took a photo with a tank. It's the first time in our lives. Look, isn't it impressive?"

Wang Xin showed Zhang Su the photos on his phone.

"Very good! But it's a bit embarrassing to take turns taking photos with one tank. Let's arrange one for each of us in the future. That will be more fun! By the way, let's go to the north to find Venom zombies. Who of you wants to go with us?"

"I go."

"Then I will definitely go."

"Take me with you, my eyesight has improved!"

As soon as they were asked, everyone wanted to go. They were used to adventures and fighting outside, so they found it a bit boring to stay in the camp.

"Okay, then let's just go ahead and don't call anyone else. We can only drive two cars at most. We can't waste so much gas."

"Understood!" Zhang Xin nodded very casually, then frowned and said, "Brother Su, Yu Bo, Sister Tan and Xiao Shuai searched for a long time yesterday but found nothing. Can we not take the old route?"

"I'm not going to visit the usual places. I learned the exact location of the chemical plant from Xin Qi yesterday. I'm going to take a look around there today. If I don't find anything..."

"Attention, attention, there's a car coming from the south! Attention, attention, there's a car coming from the south!"

Before Zhang Su could finish his words, Duan Wuhu's voice came from the intercom.

Just as Zhang Su took out the intercom and prepared to reply, the voice rang again: "Attention, attention, an off-road vehicle is coming towards Tianma Island, attention, attention..."

"Got it, Mr. Duan. I'm at the gate and can handle it right away!"

Zhang Su responded.

"Coming straight towards us?"

"who is it……"

"Oh my god, Brother Su, is there a tracker on the big dog car?"

Lu Yubo's expression tightened.

"It can't be those people from Shanhai District. Didn't you hear what Lao Duan said? There's only one car. If they want to come here to seek revenge, they just drive one car? A suicide attack?"

Zhang Su curled his lips. He suspected that they were from Daqiaobao Township and came to check their place out. After all, not many people knew they were here.

"Mad, it's broken..."

Wu Lue slapped his thigh, looked at the tanks beside him and shook his hands: "As soon as we reach the mountain gate, we can see tanks. Doesn't this expose our strength?"

"Yeah, how about getting some quilts to cover yourself?"

Wang Xin was also surprised, but he also understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.

Zhang Su waved his hand indifferently and said, "Things are different now. We don't need to hide our abilities unless we want to lure people into a trap. But now I hope no one dares to touch us. I wish I could get some inflatable tanks and put them in the camp so that no one can see them."

If deterrence can prevent war, then deception makes sense, but Zhang Su dared to say this because the real killer was not on display.

Soon, everyone heard the roar of the engine and the car began to climb the hill.

"Uncle, here I come!"

Pang Dakun, who was standing on the sentry post, turned his head and spoke to the crowd.

Zhang Su and his party arrived at the mountain gate and looked out through the hole. A Dodge Journey was parked outside the gate. The door was opened and a man in his thirties got out. He was wearing a cotton hat with ear covers and his face was clean-cut without any stubble. He looked very respectable.

"Hello, little brother. I am Xiao Xuejian, the captain of the first team of the Vanguard Group of the Survivor Alliance. It is freezing cold, and I am here on behalf of our captain Gong Chengming to present some gifts to your leader."

Xiao Xuejian held the car door and spoke loudly to Pang Dakun who was standing at the sentry post.

"Fuck, this guy is not easy to mess with!"

Wu Lue glanced outside with one eye and muttered with a strange expression on his face.

Zhang Su looked at Wu Lue curiously, and said in surprise: "Luezi, do you know him?"

"I don't know him." Wu Lue shook his head and said seriously: "Xiao Xuejian, listen to this name, he can cut you and make blood splash, how can he be easily provoked? He is still a ball..."

"Get lost, sir."

Zhang Su slapped Wu Lue's head aside. He thought he had some important information, but he was just talking nonsense. However, he also felt that the name Xiao Xuejian was a bit strange, a bit like a character in a martial arts novel...

The world is full of wonders. Maybe the parents are fans of martial arts novels and it’s not a bad idea to give their child such a name. It sounds pretty good.

The others were also speechless about Wu Lue's behavior, but they felt that this guy was quite cheerful.

Xiao Xuejian stood outside the door. He could not see Zhang Su and the others playing around, nor could he hear any specific sounds. He saw Pang Dakun standing at the sentry post with a strange expression on his face. He waved his hand and said, "Young man, please inform them. I am alone and came here with gifts. I have no ill intentions."

"Captain Xiao." Zhang Su walked up to the sentry post and said, "I'm sorry to bother Captain Gong to think about it and specially send a captain to deliver the supplies. I can't understand why."

Facing Gong Chengming's show of goodwill, Zhang Su was very cautious. Gong Chengming was not Zhang Xin. Just a simple contact could show that he had skills, martial arts and abilities. To be the second-in-command of a team of more than 300 survivors, one knew that this was by no means easy.

Xiao Xuejian had seen Zhang Su before. Although the light was a little bad a few nights ago, he could still hear his voice. He didn't expect Zhang Su to be standing behind the mountain gate. He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said hurriedly, "The weather suddenly cooled down a lot. There are some supplies in the city that are not available in the suburbs. Captain Gong asked me to send some to Zhang... Leader."

I was used to being called the leader in the survivor alliance, so I called him that outside as well, and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to be wrong.
