The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1007 Turtle Island

“Brother Su, the sentry post needs to send out a signal to be noticed by others. If... let’s think about the worst-case scenario. If the sentry is killed by the enemy in an instant, it will be difficult to deal with.”

As a mercenary, Wu Baokang has been in and out of some complex environments and has a comprehensive understanding of various scenarios.

Zhang Su and his group stood on the rooftop of a shop in Niujuanzi Town. This was one of the outermost sentry posts in the western part of the town, five kilometers away from the camp as the crow flies.

"No matter how quickly you kill someone, even if it's a headshot, it will still make a sound. As long as it makes a sound, there are ways to attract attention, such as by installing some voice control systems."

Wu Daqiang proposed a solution.

“A headshot will definitely make a sound, but if it’s smoke or poison gas, it’s hard to say.”

Lü Leiyang envisioned even more possibilities.

"I've got an idea." Zhang Su's eyes flashed as he looked at the group. "Remember Liao Youzhi? Old Wu, you should know that Liao Youzhi had a device on him, right?"

"Ha, I know, it's said to monitor his vital signs and detonate the virus bomb inside his body once his heart stops beating, is that it?"

Before Zhang Su could speak, Wu Baokang waved his hand and laughed, "Brother Su, just listen to his nonsense. Monitoring vital signs is real, and the virus bomb is real, but to say that these two things are linked is pure bullshit, just scaremongering!"

"How did you know?" Zhang Su pushed up his sunglasses with a strange expression.

"Hey, Su-ge, guess who gave Lao Liao that idea for that thing he was bragging about?"

Wu Baokang smiled mysteriously.

"Who came up with this idea..." Zhang Su licked his lips, then a face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he blurted out, "Zhou Haotian?"

"That's right, it's him!" Wu Baokang snapped his fingers and laughed, "That device was assembled by Yang Dongxin and Zhou Haotian. I once overheard the two of them secretly discussing that if the boss really died, they couldn't let him drag everyone down with him, so that thing is a fake!"

"Holy crap, you can do that... Wouldn't Liao Youzhi try it?"

Zhang Su was surprised; Liao Youzhi was far too ambitious.

Wu Baokang shrugged: "I don't know how Liao Youzhi did it. Anyway, Yang Dongxin and Zhou Haotian are both fine, so they probably didn't find anything wrong. Or... Liao Youzhi was just bluffing. Who knows?"

"That's really something..."

Zhang Su and the others couldn't help but smile when they heard this.

"Liao Youzhi is a fake, but we can use this to our advantage. When a sentry is detected dead, we can immediately sound the alarm. If the sentry is just being controlled, we can use voice control to activate the alarm. This is enough to deal with most situations!"

The three legion commanders carefully analyzed the situation and concluded that while they could kill the sentry without the enemy's knowledge, they couldn't stop the alarm from sounding. If they made too many moves, the other sentries would immediately notice the problem. The plan was feasible!

With the plan finalized, all that remained was to arrange personnel rotations, which Zhang Su didn't need to worry about. Two shifts would only require forty people, which was no problem for the current personnel numbers of the two legions. It also allowed for a thorough screening process to select the best candidates for the positions.

It was late at night when the plan was finalized, but Wu Daqiang and his group still arranged the first batch of sentry duty personnel before going home to get some rest.

Zhang Su ignored the follow-up matters and returned to Tianma Island ahead of time. He first went to the monitoring room to take a look. Pei Lan and Zhong Xiaoshan were on duty, and there were no problems.

"The mighty Yangtze River flows eastward, its waves washing away the dust of the past..."

Humming a little tune, I walked home and checked the courtyard wall as I passed by. Little Lucky's courtyard wall was already built, and the work was done very well and was very neat.

Since this was the boss's residence, the workers dared not slack off and would just have it renovated again tomorrow, so it would be no worse than before.

Turning around the courtyard wall, Zhang Su was taken aback. Someone was standing quietly at the top of the stairs, without making a sound.

"Dr. Fu? Oh, I was too busy tonight and forgot you were all waiting to go to sleep..."

Waiting at the bottom of the stairs was none other than Fu Weijun, his eyes still faintly red.

"No, no, no." Fu Weijun waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "It's not about sleeping. Um... Mr. Zhang, I wanted to ask if the helicopter has any missions tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? They're planning to schedule pilot training. What's up?"

Zhang Su was a little curious, but after a moment's thought, he immediately understood the other party's intention and asked first, "You mean to say that the helicopters will go to the island to pick up the equipment?" Fu Weijun nodded with a serious yet excited expression, "I've looked into it. The two helicopters are transport helicopters, and with the crew, they can carry four tons. Two helicopters are enough to transport all the equipment from my laboratory back!"

From the moment the helicopter returned to the camp, Fu Weijun's heart was stirred. He had been hoping to send a ship to the island to transport equipment, but the coastline was frozen over, and everything from small motorboats to large cargo ships was frozen in the ice. It was too difficult to get a decent boat, and the trip had not been made possible.

Now that we have more mobile transport helicopters, what are we waiting for?
Zhang Su's expression turned serious, and he clapped his hands together, saying, "Great idea! I was just thinking about using a boat and forgot about this. Your reminder is very timely. Tomorrow, we'll set off for your... hey, does your island have a name?"

In fact, Zhang Su did not want to keep dragging it out, but the conditions did not allow it. Whenever he decided to take action, he would do it in a big way. In the past, the situation was turbulent and full of crises, so he simply could not spare the time. Now it is convenient. With helicopters, a trip to the island can be completed in a day!
Upon hearing Zhang Su's agreement, Fu Weijun's face lit up with excitement, and he happily replied, "Turtle Rock, the lease agreement says it's called Turtle Rock Island because there's a big rock on the island that looks like a turtle, but I think that's a stretch."

"Alright, Turtle Island, make time tomorrow, gather a few reliable brothers and set off together, try to get things done in one day!"

"Great, great, that's wonderful. I'll go and explain some work for tomorrow to Dr. Xie now."

After saying that, Fu Weijun walked towards the courtyard gate.

“I’ll go with you to check on your eyes. I estimate they’ll be fully healed in another two or three days.”

Zhang Su spoke calmly, but inwardly he was slightly disappointed. If he could regain his sleep, he would no longer need Zhang Su's "soothing method" to help him sleep, and he would lose his means of control...

The night passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing happened. Even the excited Fu Weijun fell into a deep sleep due to the powerful emotional impact.

The next day, the third day after the broadcast, after two groups of stragglers came on the first day, no more survivors came to Tianma Island. But this did not mean that there were no survivors lying in wait in Qincheng.

However, no one was in a hurry. Since they had been given five days, they would wait until the last day.

Even if you arrive at Tianma Island on the sixth day, or before the major cleanup begins, you will still be accepted, but there will be no preferential treatment.

"I rested yesterday, and it's time to get back to work today!"

At breakfast, Zhang Su took a swig of porridge and said to everyone, "The supplies at the port are being inventoried and transported back at the same time. This is a long and arduous task. Old Tan, how's your leg? Can you lead the team?"

Tan Huajun had just taken a bite of her steamed bun when she heard her name called. She patted her leg and said, "I've recovered to 90%. Leading the team to collect supplies is no problem. Brother Su, how many people do you think we need to take?"

The previous four-man reconnaissance team never even reached the port. Only Zhang Su had a general understanding of the situation on Tianma Island. He made a rough estimate and said...

"Even with more manpower, it's impossible to bring them all back at once. Let's use a 'small-scale' approach, organizing about twenty people. Five or six of us brothers will be recruited from the other two legions. That should be enough to handle most situations. Our main task is to transport fuel; other supplies can be brought in gradually!"

"Okay, understand!"

Tan Huajun agreed, saying that since it was a long-term job, there was no need to rush it for a day or two.

"Old Tan, count me in! I've never been to a port before, I want to go and see it, haha."

“I’m signing up too. I went once before, so I have experience.”

"Me too, I want to go too, haha, it's so much fun."

Upon hearing that people were to be sent to the port, many people eagerly signed up. It was an interesting mission, a chance to make money, and a way to avoid arduous training—a win-win-win situation!
However, Zhang Su's next sentence left those who had eagerly signed up to go to the port completely dumbfounded.

"Don't all go with Lao Tan! I'm going on a long trip today too. Anyone interested in coming? Only three spots available, first come, first served!"

"me!"

"This is me!"

"I'm going!"

As soon as Zhang Su finished speaking, those who were slow to react were still processing the data, while those who were quick to react had already raised their hands. Among them were many people who had previously signed up to go to the port, and the scene was once very lively.

They didn't know where Zhang Su was going, but since he said he was going on a long trip, it must be something interesting. Going to the port would be fun, but going on a long trip with this boss would probably be even more interesting!

Should not be missed.
