The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1020 Fire! (Don't forget to vote with your monthly tickets at the end of the month!)

"Ha, Brother Zhu, your supermarket intelligence team is way better than the village intelligence team. The old lady only knows whether the puppy at the east end has a male or female puppies, but you guys control a beautiful nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, haha!"

Qi Xiaoshuai smiled and nudged Zhao Dezhu with his elbow.

Zhao Dezhu didn't mind the teasing and even gave a flamboyant smile.

Duan Wuhu sketched something on the ice coffin with his finger: "Even if this aircraft carrier is over there, it's still not close to us! It's several hundred kilometers away, and that's the straight-line distance. Brother Zhang, where did you guys find this thing?"

Zhang Su pointed to Chen Hanzhou and said, "Little Chen found it. It's frozen in the ice, about 20 meters from the shore. I estimate that it appeared on the shore two to four months ago."

The cooling down after a disaster takes time; calculating the timeframe is not difficult, but it is hard to be precise.

"I have a guess!"

Wu Baokang saw Liu Lingping raise her hand before speaking, and he copied her.

Seeing that his boss nodded to him, he analyzed, "I guess that after the disaster broke out, the people on the aircraft carrier saw that the face of the person who had undergone plastic surgery was in bad shape, and they couldn't contact the headquarters, so they simply sailed the aircraft carrier out of port themselves."

But since satellite navigation and all that stuff is dead, they didn't know where to go, so they just drove around randomly and ended up in Qinhai Bay. What do you think?

After a moment of silence, Duan Wuhu pressed on the immobilized wound and grinned, "This theory sounds plausible, but if those handsome soldiers really did that, they'd be pretty sloppy..."

"I don't think it's because they're bad!"

Zhang Su spoke up: "You don't actually think that all the soldiers on the aircraft carrier survived, do you? Based on the zombie outbreak when the disaster occurred, things must have been extremely bad on the carrier! I think Lao Wu's guess has some merit! Dr. Fu, can we use this to pinpoint the carrier's location?"

Zhang Su is no longer interested in how the signal beacon came about; he is now interested in the exact location of the aircraft carrier.

Upon hearing Zhang Su's question, the others instantly understood what he was thinking and thought to themselves, "As expected of the boss, his quick thinking and ambition are truly impressive!"
"This is a device that transmits signals in one direction. It might be possible to use this technology to locate an aircraft carrier in the opposite direction, but I'm not familiar with it, sorry."

Fu Weijun shrugged awkwardly. "Everyone has their own expertise. If you're not good at something, you're not good at it."

Zhang Su nodded. The fact that Fu Weijun could so readily admit "I don't know" was enough to explain the situation.

"Hey bro, how about we take a plane out to sea for a spin? We still have fuel, and if we find an aircraft carrier, we'll be rich!"

Zhao Dezhu quickly caught up with Zhang Su's train of thought.

I don't recommend doing this!

Before Zhang Su could speak, Fu Weijun voiced his objection, saying with a serious expression, "Carrier battle groups usually involve cruisers, frigates, and destroyers. If even one of them is nearby, the helicopter will be in great danger!"

"Even without other ships escorting us, the fighter jets on the aircraft carrier are not just for show. They have plenty of weapons and ammunition, and they also have air defense systems! Old Zhao, our helicopters are not fighter jets. Their maneuverability is far inferior. As long as the other side opens fire, we'll be stuck out and take the hits!"

Wu Baokang and Fu Weijun share the same opinion.

"I don't know anything, I'm not going!"

Zhang Su raised his hand to interrupt everyone. He had already clearly seen the surrounding sea area for dozens of kilometers while he was in the helicopter. Small fishing boats might be missed, but if there was an aircraft carrier, it would definitely be spotted!

"We've successfully completed our mission for today, and we've even discovered something extra... um?"

Something else was discovered, huh?

Everyone followed Zhang Su's gaze and their eyes widened!
"Smoke, there's smoke! This is...on fire?"

"This distance definitely isn't from Turtle Rock Island. Could it be... someone on another island is calling for help?"

"That's quite possible. The helicopter made quite a commotion. Did they spot us landing on this island and then set it on fire? Dude, should we go check it out?"

In the southwest sky, smoke rose and drifted in the hazy light, reaching straight to the heavens without the interference of wind.

If this had happened some time after the disaster, Zhao Dezhu wouldn't have suggested going to check on them, because everyone was preoccupied with their own survival and wouldn't have responded to calls for help unless there was a generous reward. But things are different now. Today, Tianma Island has become the big brother of Qin City, announcing that it wants to recruit all survivors within its area. For a camp that is moving towards civilization, rescuing survivors has become a responsibility.

"Dr. Fu, do you know about those islands over there?"

Zhang Su did not make a decision immediately; he needed to understand the situation first.

Looking southwest, Fu Weijun recalled, "All I knew was that the island was too small to be developed; I knew nothing else."

"Undeveloped islands are practically the wilderness. Who would be crazy enough to go there to survive?"

Wu Baokang expressed his doubts.

"The city was in such chaos after the disaster. It's good enough that we were able to escape to an overseas island. Who cares if it's deserted or not? As long as we're alive, that's all that matters!"

"makes sense……"

As the group talked, a touch of orange-red began to appear in the southwestern sky.

"Do you think... the plants on the island could spontaneously combust?"

Zhang Su looked at the sky, which was dyed red by the firelight, with a strange expression.

The others all shook their heads. There was no thunder or lightning, and no volcanic eruption. How could it spontaneously combust under these circumstances?

"I'll go take a look. You all stay here!"

Zhang Su finally decided to go and see. Now he could not be so casual about his words and actions. Just like Sima Kong in the new era, no matter what he thought in his heart, he had to show the outside world a bright and great side!
Whether to save them or not is a separate matter. If we don't even try to understand the situation, it would be too heartless. This is no longer the era of a survival team. Our guiding principles need to keep up with the times.

"Okay, Su-ge, then be careful."

"Go ahead, brother. We'll stay here. Don't worry."

Everyone agreed that Zhang Su was fast and capable of making decisions, making him the most suitable candidate.

The villa was built about one kilometer from the south coast of the island. Zhang Su ran as fast as he could and quickly reached the shore. However, unlike the east coast, there was a long cliff on the south side, with a drop of twenty or thirty meters to the beach below!

Without even going down to the beach, Zhang Su could see the island to the southwest from the edge of the cliff. This sight startled him so much that he immediately took off his sunglasses.

"Holy crap, did they set the whole island on fire?"

The island, a few kilometers away, now resembles a giant, glowing dragon fruit. The island is indeed not large, but 60 percent of it has been set ablaze. The fires started at different times; some areas are burning fiercely, while others are just beginning to ignite.

The winter is dry, and the trees on the island have long since withered and died, making them very easy to ignite, and the flames spread very quickly.

"There really is someone!"

Zhang Su immediately noticed that on the ice on the north shore of the burning island, a piece of cloth was swinging back and forth, and he could make out that there were indeed people there, even with his limited eyesight.

He picked up his binoculars and peered at the island. With the help of super vision and optical zoom, the situation on the ice was clearly visible: two extremely disheveled figures, one waving two pieces of clothing while the other was shaking a large cloth.

"what?"

Zhang Su didn't pay attention to the large piece of cloth at first, thinking it was just a bed sheet or something they had torn up, but something felt off. Underneath the dirty cloth, there seemed to be a regular pattern, and the pattern looked somewhat familiar.

Take another look...

"Holy crap, a really beautiful national flag?!"
