The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

"Damn it! You guys are bullying me for not bringing a drone. Otherwise, I would have led them back!"

When Wu Lue heard that the other party used drones to attract zombies, he was so angry that he jumped up and down. This was his specialty, but it was a pity that he had never thought that he would experience so many severe moments on this trip. The high-tech drones were placed in the camp, and several sets of batteries were still charging...

"You want a drone? Yes, the barracks has two reconnaissance drones that can be used. Do you want one?"

Li Zongkai was standing nearby, and when he heard that a drone was going to be used, he spoke immediately.

“Oh shit, oh shit…Brother Su, there’s a new situation. There should be mutated zombies among the corpse swarm. The drone seems to have been attacked and crashed!”

It was as if they had heard the discussion here. As soon as the drone was mentioned, they started to make a noise...

Hearing Qi Xiaoshuai's words, Li Zongkai shook his hands, meaning, look at what this incident has caused...

Everyone curled their lips in surprise. This mutated zombie that could attack drones from a distance was too awesome. No one noticed that Chen Hanzhou made a face in the crowd. If there was anyone who wanted to encounter a mutated zombie, he was one of them.

"If there are really 100,000 zombies, it's totally normal to have mutated zombies, and there might even be more than one or two!"

Zhang Su complained, then looked at Li Zongkai, pointed to the northeast and asked, "Old Li, have you cleaned up the wholesale mall over there?"

There is a wholesale market that was newly built a few years ago in the northeast of the barracks, about two kilometers away. Business was good when it was first completed four or five years ago, but the good times did not last long. It was prosperous for only a year or two, and then it became increasingly depressed.

It is said that in the end, even rent is no longer required, and one only needs to pay property management fees to use the storefront. But even so, only the first floor of the four-story building is still holding on with some shops struggling.

Zhang Su likes to shop at this wholesale mall because the rent is cheap and the prices of goods are low.

"Cleaned!"

Li Zongkai pointed to the northeast: "The wholesale mall is our main search target. It should be relatively clean inside. We didn't lock any zombies there."

"That's good!" Zhang Su nodded with satisfaction. It is comfortable to talk to smart people. You don't have to say too much, and the other person will understand what you want to know.

He picked up the intercom and said, "Xiao Shuai, listen carefully. Retreat immediately and keep an eye on the wholesale mall you passed by before. If you find a group of zombies approaching, report immediately!"

According to Zhang Su's estimation, he could see the situation four or five kilometers away from the wholesale mall. If he could see the group of zombies, it meant that he was less than ten kilometers away from the barracks and had entered an emergency area!

After instructing Qi Xiaoshuai and Pang Dakun, Zhang solemnly looked at the people in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "We won't fight this battle. It is the responsibility of every fucking human to eliminate the zombies. There is no reason for us to clean up other people's shit. We all have the responsibility!"

The words were rough but the logic was sound. After the order was given, more than 20 people stood up straight. Ding Yongguo, who was at the back of the crowd, elbowed Zheng Ziwen on the arm, who did not react, and knocked him more than a meter away. Zheng Ziwen stood up, rubbing his arm with an aggrieved expression.

"Immediately join the packing work and prepare to evacuate the barracks!"

Zhang Su waved his hand and everyone moved in response.

"What... Is there really no possibility of touching it?"

Just as the fighting force of the Civilization Guardians was assembled, Wu Daqiang received the news of the retreat. His face was full of disbelief, and the fighters around him also showed regretful expressions, but most people were secretly glad. Fighting is risky, and avoiding conflict is the best option.

"What the hell! There are 100,000 zombies, hundreds of them are huge, and there are mutant zombies that can shoot down drones from a distance. What can we use to hit them? Even the light tank over there can crush them!"

Zhao Dezhu looked very unhappy, and felt nauseous as if he had eaten a fly.

He was not as rational as Zhang Su, Yu Wen and others. He always felt that this group of zombies was an unprovoked disaster, and that they were lured here by the Shanhai District to deceive people. He should retaliate, and it would be best if he did so immediately.

"This... I heard from Squad Leader Wu that your Tianma Island Yanluo Corps is quite strong and has killed tens of thousands of zombies before. Do you have any special bombs? Can't you just blow them up again? Why do you have to evacuate?"

Gangzi, one of the two surviving soldiers in the barracks, was very excited.

"What are you talking about? From your tone, are you saying that we are deliberately evacuating from here?"

Zhao Dezhu stopped what he was doing, and was so angry that he didn't know where to vent his anger. Unexpectedly, someone bumped into the muzzle of his gun.

"Don't get excited, everyone, don't get excited!"

Yu Wen came over and consoled him, "Young man, I remember you. You were a survivor of this barracks. There was another person named... Xiao Liu. He even competed with the sharpshooter in our team in shooting, right?"

Gangzi was very emotional, but seeing Yu Wen's humble and smiling attitude, he was too embarrassed to lose his temper, and puffed his cheeks and said, "Brother Liu, he died while on a mission two months ago!"

"It's unfortunate."

Yu Wen shook his head sadly, and then spoke earnestly.

"I understand that you two have deep feelings for everything here, but please don't misunderstand us. Mr. Zhang doesn't want to evacuate. The previous arrangement was to transfer all the people from the car park, kindergarten and Tesco Mall here and build a defensive fortress with the barracks as the support. Unfortunately..."

Yu Wen paused for a moment, then continued with a look of reluctance: "Unfortunately, the current situation is too severe to allow us to implement the original plan. In this environment, even the King of Hell cannot take everyone's lives and do whatever he wants."

After these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help shaking their heads. The behavior of Ren Zai Cheng Zai sounded exciting, but after the excitement, it turned cold. There weren't so many heroic deeds of unswerving determination. The best choice was to stay alive.

"But……"

"Gangzi!"

Seeing that Gangzi was still trying to argue, Wu Daqiang put his hand on his shoulder and shook his head at him. The other party had made it so clear. This was not a matter of one or two people. One decision would affect the lives of hundreds of people!

In the past, a few hundred people might not sound like a big deal, but nowadays, this number is extremely exaggerated. No one can joke about the lives of hundreds of people!

"Old Yu is right!"

Zhang Su was outside instructing people about packing up supplies when he heard the quarrel and walked over.

"The size of the zombie swarm is far beyond imagination, and there is also the variable of mutated zombies. If we fight head-on, there will definitely be countless casualties. There is a way out, there is no reason to choose to take risks! As for the bomb you mentioned just now, I didn't bring it this time. I left it on Tianma Island!"

Did you really not bring it?

Of course not, it's just not necessary.

"Then... just let it go like this? This group of zombies was lured here from the Shanhai District! I won't accept this!"

Gangzi said what really made him angry. There was nothing shameful in retreating, it could be considered a tactical shift, but he felt aggrieved to be forced to leave now.

Zhao Dezhu had a strange expression on his face after hearing Gangzi's words. He felt a little sorry for losing his temper with the other party just now. He didn't expect that the other party had the same idea as him...

Zhang Su felt Gangzi's anger, nodded, and tried his best to release the peaceful emotions in his heart and said calmly.

"The people from Shanhai District led the zombies here. Whether it was an unintentional act or a deliberate plan is not important. Leading the zombies away from the camp is a basic operation. I have done this many times, and I believe you are no exception. Survival always comes first. Be less emotional and more rational!"

"My wish is actually very simple. I want you all to live safely, not to turn you all into zombie butchers!"

Don’t you want to be held accountable? Of course you can’t!

There is no chance at this moment!

Since there is no chance, let everyone give up this idea. As a leader, you must take the lead at this time. Whether you are convinced or blindly follow others, you should focus on the present and not remember the hatred that you may not have the chance to avenge at all!

The happy revenge leads to death, the retreat and forbearance lead to freedom...

"I understand, Brother Su, you're just complaining because you can't accept it for the time being. We'll clean it up right away!"

Wu Daqiang squeezed Gangzi's shoulders hard, and he was obviously much calmer than before.

The anger and unwillingness on Gangzi's face gradually subsided after Zhang Su's words. Not only him, but also the negative emotions such as helplessness, unwillingness, and reluctance on the faces of some people around him were all turning into calmness.

Everyone had a feeling that Zhang Su's words made sense, and it was easy for people to let go after listening to them. In short, those who were willing to listen to him...

Liu Yao stood in the crowd and nodded frequently. Suddenly, he hissed and walked to Yang Xinqi and said thoughtfully, "Old Yang, if we don't kill these zombies, they will be a disaster anyway. Will we avoid this group of zombies and encounter a bigger one next time?"

"Do you believe that I will report you for talking nonsense? Damn it!" Yang Xinqi was writing something down with a pen and paper in his hand. When he heard Liu Yao's words, he got so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.

"No, no, I just muttered something, it's just nonsense, don't take it seriously. You're busy, and I'm busy too."

Liu Yao suddenly remembered that Zhang Su had already "legislated" to prevent him from making any form of predictions about the future, so he quickly slipped away.

Zhang Su had already left at this time and did not hear what Liu Yao said. He had no time to rest and needed to go to various places to repeat the same work, which was to calm people down.

During this process, he slowly explored and experimented, and finally roughly measured the range of the impact on people's moods. With himself as the center of the circle, the farthest range could be about one hundred meters, depending on the strength of the emotion.

When it is weak, it can only affect two or three meters in front of the eyes, which is suitable for scenes where you have face-to-face conversations with people. When it is strong, it will radiate to a larger range, which is suitable for situations such as mobilization meetings and speeches.

As for whether this ability is affected by the strength of his own energy, it has not been tested. The current energy value is 87%. The situation is complicated and he does not want to activate a new energy slot specifically to verify the ability.

After verifying the scope of his emotions, he was a little worried. Under normal circumstances, there was no problem. He was becoming more and more proficient in controlling his emotions. Even if he occasionally lost control, he could quickly adjust. But when it was late at night and everyone was asleep...

For example, on a dark and windy night, a profound and easy-to-understand discussion is taking place in Xiao Xingyun's residence on Tianma Island. Wouldn't the entire Tianma Island be bustling with activity?

Fortunately, things were not that bad. Zhang Su discovered that as long as there was a physical barrier, the effect of emotional influence would be reduced. A wall or a window had a blocking effect. If he was in a closed room, he would be completely isolated, and even if someone was sticking to the door, it would not have any impact.

"It can be considered a soft switch... If that's the case, then what organ is releasing emotions?"

Zhang Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ponder. He felt that it was impossible for every pore in the human body to emit emotions. There must be a transmitting organ. Unfortunately, he did not have time to continue testing.

“Brother Su! Here they come! There are zombies heading this way, but not as many as before. They must have been dispersed by the drones!”

The packing work was going on in full swing. Zhang Su was checking the inventory in the weapons warehouse. The walkie-talkie on his waist rang, and he glanced at the time.

Thirty-eight minutes have passed since he notified Qi Xiaoshuai and Pang Dakun to retreat!

He quickly calculated in his mind that if the zombies' speed remained stable, they would arrive at the barracks within twenty minutes.

"Okay, come back, hurry up!"

After Zhang Su finished his announcement, he put the intercom into his bag, clapped his hands, and said to the busy crowd: "Everyone pay attention to the time, there are only ten minutes left, hurry up, hurry up!"

"Brother, this group of zombies has probably locked onto us, or the brothers at Tesco Mall. If this is the case, even if we retreat to Tesco Mall, we still can't avoid a fight, right?"

Zhao Dezhu waited for Zhang Su to finish his announcement, then walked up to him anxiously and asked.

"Who told you we were retreating to Tesco?"

Zhang Su looked at Zhao Dezhu with some surprise.

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around who heard them looked at Zhang Su, including the civilized guards, as well as Zheng Xinyu, Chen Hanzhou and other members of the Yama Legion.

Everyone has a question in their mind, isn’t it?

Zhang Su understood everyone's thoughts and shook his head slowly, saying, "Since zombies like city life, let's give Qincheng to them. Let's go back to Tianma Island. I have already contacted Fruit Man ten minutes ago. They can clean up much faster than us!"

About 150 to 60 people from the kindergarten have arrived at Tesco Mall. Before they had time to find a place to unfold their bedding, they received news that they needed to move again. This news would only be effective if Zhang Su delivered it in person. If it were anyone else, more than half of the people in Tesco Mall would definitely express extreme dissatisfaction!

No one suspected that Zhang Xin spread false information, unless he didn't want to live anymore.

It cannot be said that Zhang Su’s choices were always correct, but at least they were safe and he never made mistakes. Just like what Sun Tzu said in The Art of War, when victory cannot be guaranteed, first ensure victory. Winning the battle means victory, and not fighting can also ensure victory!

No one in the mall dared to hesitate and started packing up immediately after receiving the order.

More than 400 people worked together. The supplies were not much to begin with, and with the abundant staff, they swept away everything like locusts. Except for the furniture that was really useless, everything else in Tesco was packed and ready to go...

"no……"

Zhao Dezhu was stunned, his brain was unable to process what was going on. His CPU overclocked for three or four seconds, and when he recovered, he said in surprise, "With so many people going to Tianma Island, let alone whether they can be pretending, the zombies will surely rush to the north, right?"

Attracting zombies is an unavoidable problem. The rate of population growth must be positively correlated with defense capabilities in order to effectively resist zombies while increasing production and development capabilities. Otherwise, it is very likely to lead to a catastrophic disaster!

There is no need to worry about the area further north of Tianma Island. A lot of the zombies attracted by the Qinglong Corps have been killed. Even if there are still zombies in the north, there will definitely be other survivors' camps blocking the way further north.

Under the law of attraction, no survivor camp can get away with it.

"so many people……"

When Lu Yubo heard Zhang Su's decision, he also looked disgusted.

Now Tianma Island is quite comfortable in terms of defense strength, population density and living index. The population has increased suddenly. Even if people do not live in Tianma Island, they must live in nearby villages. The thought of so many people makes it very troublesome.

However, he did not express any opinion because he was very clear about his identity and abilities.

Zhang Su knew that everyone had their own thoughts, but in the face of the general trend, he could not take into account anyone's feelings, including his own.
