The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1006 A Neighbor as Steadfast as a Rock

Zhang Su's eyebrows twitched slightly. Some of the intelligence matched what Jiao Yutong had said, and it seemed that she really didn't know about the tank inventory.

More than ten helicopters—what a vast fortune it must take to support those iron birds soaring in the sky! Not to mention dozens of tanks—without the resumption of oil extraction and refining, they can forget about being put into regular use!

"Where are the fighter jets?"

Zhang Su remembered Jiao Yutong mentioning that there were fighter jets.

"There are fighter jets, but they've never been put into use. I don't know why... Oh right, brother, Jiao Yutong also told you that they can't fly above two thousand meters, right?"

Cai Changli asked the question cautiously.

How did you discover it?

Zhang Su didn't answer the other person at all, but instead asked a question in return.

Cai Changli didn't dwell on it. He sighed and said, "An accidental disappearance, followed by a disappearance witnessed by almost everyone at Genesis, and finally, a test using drones that cost eight lives, led to the conclusion that a safe altitude of two thousand meters is possible."

Eight lives lost!

Zhang Su nodded slowly; the number was basically in line with his expectations.

"So you didn't conduct any more sky surveys after that?"

Cai Changli nodded: "Yes, there are, but due to equipment limitations, as far as I know, there are no further results. If there were, we are the unit that has the most contact with the sky, so they should have informed us."

Zhang Su felt that this judgment made some sense, so he changed his leg-crossing posture and asked, "It sounds like the Creation World has a great need for energy. Are there any plans to restore related industrial production?"

"Yes, I have!"

Cai Changli answered very quickly, pointing randomly in a direction, and said, "A while ago, another team from our unit went to Tianjin to investigate the Dagang Oilfield, but I don't know anything about it!"

Zhang Su was speechless as he watched Cai Changli point east towards Tianjin, but too lazy to correct these trivial mistakes, he pressed on, "Then why hasn't production resumed?"

“This… I don’t know.” Cai Changli answered readily, looking at Zhang Su with a strange expression, as if to say, Big Brother, I’m just Little Karami.

Zhang Su didn't make things difficult for them. He pointed to the west and said, "I heard that you've clashed with the righteous path many times, but haven't been able to take that camp. You should know what's going on, right?"

Cai Changli spread his hands and said, "I didn't have the chance to participate in the battle, but I've heard that the righteous path has a very powerful defensive electric grid. It can defend against air attacks from above, ground attacks from below, and air attacks from the middle. It can accurately strike any kind of zombie, whether it's airplanes, cannons, ordinary zombies, or mutated zombies!"

? ?
Zhang Su looked puzzled, his expression showing confusion for the first time: "Are you making up a story? With the current conditions, how can we defend against electric fences and still fight across the land and sky?"

Cai Changli said with a strange expression, "These are all what the guys in the department who participated in the battle said. I've heard many people say it, and they're all similar versions. It shouldn't be made up, right? They guessed that the righteous path controlled a mutant zombie with an electric ability, which is why it has such abundant electrical energy!"

"Is that so?"

Zhang Su took a deep breath. Genesis's guess was insightful, but the fact that the Righteous Path Society could make full use of the mutated zombies showed that they were quite capable. He pressed on, "The Righteous Path Society has such powerful weapons, why didn't they retaliate against you?"

"There's no way to retaliate, brother. That's a defensive electric fence; it's really only for defense, it can't be moved. It only protects the area around the Righteous Path Society's base, the area is limited, it's like a tortoise shell covering it up. If they dare to leave the defensive electric fence, the general would have already... umm..."

As he continued, Cai Changli abruptly stopped, his tone strange. He didn't know what would happen to the general and dared not speak recklessly.

"Jiao Yutong said that the general has a special unit under his command?"

Zhang Su was too lazy to listen to the other party's boasting and asked about other information. "Yes, there is. It is said to be a unit composed of zombies. It is very mysterious. Not to mention me, I guess even our boss has never seen it. It's all just rumors. It is said that every member of that zombie unit has the strength of a cyborg. It is the general's personal power and is definitely a trump card of the creation world."

Zhang Su glanced behind his sunglasses. This rumor was definitely an exaggeration. He rarely underestimated the enemy, but this time he was certain that the general's secret force was not that strong!

These messages are most likely a smokescreen released by the general to consolidate his position. There is probably such a unit, but its strength would be diminished.

"You haven't gone back for a day, and there doesn't seem to be any reaction from Genesis. What's going on?"

Now, despite winning both of his previous encounters with this behemoth, he still harbors considerable apprehension.

"Huh."

Cai Changli sighed: "There's a high chance there won't be any reaction! To be honest, when I came here yesterday... I really don't want to talk about it. What a disaster! This investigation was purely the idea of ​​the Wild Bear Division Chief. Our War Eagle Division was just cooperating with the operation. The general had no intention of investigating the cause of his son's death at all."

"Think about it, he couldn't even be bothered to investigate his own son's accident, let alone a few of his men. I bet the general is more concerned about the helicopter!"

Zhang Su observed Cai Changli's expression and sensed his emotions. Combining this with all the information he had gathered, the image of the general became increasingly vivid in his mind. He was a guy who was extremely rational, just like a Trisolaran!
But as Cai Changli said, if there is one black bear coming to conduct an investigation, it is inevitable that there will be others. We still need to be careful about this!

"Okay, you did a great job today. That's enough for now, come here..."

Zhang Su shook the hemp rope in his hand, his meaning quite clear.

Cai Changli sighed, stepped forward, and obediently stretched out his hands. When he was in pain, he had thought about running away, but now that he had relieved himself, drunk hot water, and washed his face, he felt much better and didn't want to resist anymore.

After retying his hands and feet, Zhang Su said, "I'll have someone get you some food and drink, but you can only stay here like this. Think carefully about what other secrets the Creation World holds, and when you think of anything, have the brothers outside let me know!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Cai Changli stood ramrod straight, watching Zhang Su leave the house. After the other man was gone, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into a chair, feeling that he had survived for the time being.

As Zhang Su left Qingfeng Xiaozhu, he stood on the mountain path and reflected on the conversation. Genesis's development was indeed ahead of many survivor camps; this was the result of being one step ahead and then being ahead in every step.

Tianma Island didn't start late, but its development was relatively slow. Fortunately, it was steady enough to develop step by step to where it is today and has gained a firm foothold.

They knew nothing about the situation in the northeast, but their western neighbor, Tangcheng, was as solid as a rock. Perhaps it was not his intention, but he had indeed shielded Qincheng from some disasters.

"Creation, cyborgs, martial arts masters, oil fields...that's it!"

Zhang Su suddenly remembered what Zhao Linfeng had told him about Hei Xiazi's complaints about the Tianma Island outpost, and then, considering the special nature of those guys from the Creation Monkey Tribe, he felt uneasy.

The sentry posts on Tianma Island are far apart in the four directions. They were sufficient to prevent attacks from zombie hordes and ordinary survivors in the past, but now the enemy has changed!

Zombies aren't that much of a threat; it's the humans who have gained powerful abilities through modification who are the real danger. If those guys from the Creation Monkey Tribe attack and the sentry posts are removed, we really won't be able to get any sound back. We need to fix this as soon as possible.

"Indeed, only the enemy can truly understand the enemy!"

Sometimes you have to look at arrangements with a critical eye. Thinking of this, Zhang Su took out his walkie-talkie and started contacting his subordinates. Although it was already late, this kind of thing couldn't be delayed!

As the population of Tianma Island grows, the number of combat personnel also increases. The deployment of personnel is flexible, and the main problem lies in the selection of locations.

Zhang Su, accompanied by three legion commanders, spent nearly two hours circling the camp in all directions, finally pinpointing the locations of twenty sentry posts. Adding these to the four sentry posts already in place, they now have a total of twenty-four!
Previously, the monitoring range was only three kilometers around the camp, but now it has been expanded to six kilometers. Most importantly, the sentry posts can now see each other!
