Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

“If you’re not afraid of the risk of backfire, I can give you a batch of problematic grenades.”

Lei Youliang shrugged and made a strange expression, as if saying, even if I give them to you, you can’t use them.

Zhang Su rubbed his chin and said, “How many?”

“Hey! It’s one thing for a rifle to jam and backfire, but if a rocket launcher backfires, it can cost lives!”

The man called Uncle Huo beside him exclaimed in alarm.

Zhang Su had a good impression of this straightforward uncle, unlike Lei Youliang who was more cunning, he smiled and said, “I would certainly not risk my life; just tell me how many there are?”

The grenades can’t be used, but after disassembling them, some usable raw materials could still be obtained.

Lei Youliang didn’t expect Zhang Su to be serious, frowned in thought, and said, “Then I can give you a hundred!”

“Twenty rifles, forty magazines, ten thousand bullets, twenty grenades that are fine, a hundred problematic grenades, deal?”

“Deal! I’ll throw in fifty stick grenades for you!”

Lei Youliang said heartily, seeing Zhang Su’s doubtful expression, he quickly added, “This is my sincerity, wishing for a smooth alliance between Celestial Horse Island and our Kuanzhuang!”

“Wait!”

Zhang Su raised his hand in surprise and said, “When did I say I wanted an alliance?”

“What?”

Lei Youliang was dumbfounded, pointed at Xiaoya, and asked Zhang Su, “Xiaoya, didn’t she tell you our idea?”

“I did, I did!”

Su Xiaoya quickly raised her hand to prove her innocence.

Zhang Su smirked, “I proved my strength in a battle, it’s reasonable for you to want strong allies, but I don’t know a thing about you. Do you think under such circumstances I could agree to an alliance?”

That bright idea ticks so loudly, but in this world, where’s the good fortune come so easily!

The people of Kuanzhuang looked at each other, Lei Youliang felt extremely speechless inside; he agreed so readily earlier because he hoped for an alliance so as to confront the Cyan Dragon Corps together, arming the other party could also lower their own combat risk.

Who would’ve thought the other party never considered an alliance?

If there’s no alliance, what’s there to discuss.

“No way!”

“You see… Mr. Zhang, I only agreed to your requirements on the basis of our smooth alliance.”

Lei Youliang said.

“You have your premise, I have my thoughts! What? Do you think the initiative is in Kuanzhuang’s hands?”

In Zhang Su’s eyes, emotion was sparse, with no fluctuations; sweeping over their faces, it made them feel extremely dangerous.

Lei Youliang could feel a pressure, but as the leader of Kuanzhuang, he had to withstand it.

“Ahem, Mr. Zhang, you can’t say it like that. While you did take a stand against the Cyan Dragon Corps for us, things aren’t resolved, and the Cyan Dragon Corps HQ might send out stronger armed forces to investigate, which is indeed a troubling matter, right?”

The atmosphere became noticeably odd once he finished speaking.

“According to what you mean, us from Celestial Horse Island eliminating the Grain Collection Team was unnecessary meddling, instead causing trouble for our survivor camps?”

Zhang Su eyed Lei Youliang with a mocking look.

The gaze of Celestial Horse Island’s people also turned cold; such rhetoric from the other party was purely fallacious reasoning, disgusting even in the apocalypse!

“No!” Lei Youliang knew he had spoken hastily, it was somewhat inappropriate, hurriedly tried to smooth it over: “I meant, facing a bigger problem, we should unite and resist together, fighting individually only gives them the chance to defeat us one by one.”

Lei Youliang’s grandiose words made the people of Kuanzhuang nod repeatedly, thinking their leader had a broad perspective, but once Zhang Su spoke again, they were all stunned.

“If before today, indeed the Cyan Dragon Corps would send people to investigate the overdue Grain Collection Team, leading us to an unavoidable problem, but not now!”

Zhang Su shoved Su Xiaoya backwards, gesturing Tan Huajun to control her, spreading his hands: “Because the Cyan Dragon Corps no longer exists.”

“What?”

Compared to the shock this sentence brought, previous astonishments were trivial.

Lei Youliang’s facial expression management went out of control, his features seemed stretched out as he asked a question he couldn’t believe: “You wiped out the Cyan Dragon Corps?”

Zhang Su made a quirky expression, neither confirming nor denying, but inside knew clearly, the Cyan Dragon Corps, with less than a hundred people remaining, was thoroughly doomed.

Even without witnessing it firsthand, it’s certain those left are mostly elders, women, children, maybe sprinkled with a few timid core members, but they are no longer a threat.

Probably hiding in some corner of the barracks, trembling as they peer through cracks at the zombies filling the yard.

What he was most concerned about was the science department, unsure of their casualty situation.

Really fulfilled Zheng Xinyu’s words, smooth sailing, no bloodshed, just click and send!

“This…”

“Really?”

“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it.”

Zhang Su’s indifferent attitude left the ten members of Kuanzhuang looking at each other.

“Mr. Zhang, what you say… it’s not that I don’t want to believe it, but I can’t bear to believe it.”

Lei Youliang’s eyebrows knitted in frustration, if the Cyan Dragon Corps really had fallen, then the relationship between Kuanzhuang and Celestial Horse Island became delicate, and his thoughts grew extremely complex.

In a bland tone, Zhang Su said, “Whether you believe it is your business, the fact is so; why don’t we return to our previous conversation, hurry up and transport the supplies.”

“Mr. Zhang, things are not as we imagined. Please allow me some time to consider!” Lei Youliang said sincerely.

Zhang Su gazed towards the sky in Qing County, faint red light could be seen, softly spoke: “Outcome doesn’t change by will, if you need time to consider, sure, I’ll give you time, once you’re decided, come tell me the result at Celestial Horse Island!”

With that, he turned away, casually pulled Su Xiaoya towards the car.

He could guess what Lei Youliang’s so-called “consider” meant, for once the Cyan Dragon Corps was defeated, the dynamics among forces would become complicated, new issues would arise, choices and decisions needed to be made.

“Uncle Lei, I want to go home…”

Su Xiaoya looked back at Lei Youliang with a pout, tears swimming in her eyes alongside grievance, afraid of returning to Celestial Horse Island and being fed green powder…

“Hey, are you a man or not, bullying a little girl, leave Xiaoya!”

Yang Liehuo shouted angrily.

“She’s just a captive, a hostage, age, gender doesn’t matter, Village Chief Lei, goodbye!”

Zhang Su’s people got into the vehicles one after another, as the engines started, they quickly returned to the highway, heading south without the slightest hesitation, unlike when pretending to leave during negotiations.

The people of Kuanzhuang stood still, watching the convoy go far, some brow furrowed, some filled with anger, others deep in thought.

“Youliang, you just let them take Xiaoya away? How will you explain this to her sister?”

Yang Liehuo unwillingly roared, spitting as he gestured into the distance.

Lei Youliang wiped his face with some frustration, forcing a smile: “Uncle Huo, don’t get excited; do you think I want this? Celestial Horse Island’s people came prepared, you saw their demeanor. Do you really want to clash with them?”

“No matter what, we should first bring Xiaoya back, I told you this plan was too risky!”

Lei Youliang massaged his temples, saying: “Rest assured, Uncle Huo, they won’t harm Xiaoya. Now the main thing is… Xiaofeng, come over here!”

“Yes, Brother Youliang, what’s up?”

Xiaofeng stepped out from the crowd, a young man in his twenties, with spirited eyes.

“Please take a trip to the Cyan Dragon Corps’ headquarters, investigate the situation, find out what’s really going on!”

Lei Youliang instructed with a somber tone.

“Got it, leave it to me!”

“Be careful on the road, watch out for Cyan Dragon Corps’ sentry posts!”

Lei Youliang watched Xiaofeng run towards the village to get a car, and reminded hurriedly.

He had no doubt Celestial Horse Island could defeat the Grain Collection Team, but he had serious doubts about the Cyan Dragon Corps’ complete annihilation!

The truth of this matter was crucial, directly impacting Kuanzhuang’s future development path.
