The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1043 No Responsibility, No Worries
"Okay, Xiaoyan is very polite. Come on, look at your schoolbag."

Zhang Su unzipped the inner pocket of his backpack and pointed inside, explaining, "These are snack vouchers. After you finish eating, you can exchange them for a bag of snacks with this lady. There are three in total. Keep them safe and don't let Grandpa Yu steal them, understand?"

"Hehe, hehe..."

Yu Wen stood aside, watching Zhang Su and Yu Ziyan joke around with a smile. He had never been as happy as he was since the disaster broke out. He was even happier than when he helped Zhang Su become the top scorer in the high school entrance examination!

"Thank you, thank you uncle, thank you sister..."

Yu Ziyan thanked everyone again, hugged her big schoolbag, and sat down next to Yu Wen, listening to the adults chat.

"Hey, Orange, were you telling the truth or not? Is this little girl really a martial arts prodigy?"

Zhao Dezhu couldn't wait to ask. Based on their current relationship, Yu Ziyan was his goddaughter. If she really was a martial arts prodigy, that would be amazing!

This is also a question in the minds of many people, because Yu Ziyan's previous performance was very ordinary and unremarkable.

Ju Wuying did not answer the others. She looked at Yu Ziyan, who was equally confused, and said, "Yu Ziyan, starting tomorrow, come to Maple Leaf Inn to find me at six o'clock every morning. Don't be late, and don't drink water."

Yu Ziyan subconsciously straightened up, turned to look at Yu Wen, and didn't know how to answer.

“You have already acknowledged her as your master, Orange... Orange Master will teach you kung fu from now on, you must listen to her.”

Yu Wen spoke slowly.

Yu Ziyan nodded and turned to look at Ju Wuying: "Yes, Master Ju, I understand!"

"very good."

With a swift movement, Ju Wuying drew a beautiful dagger, walked up to Yu Ziyan, and handed it to her in reverse: "Here, take this. This will be your weapon from now on."

"Hey, I've come full circle, haha."

Zhao Dezhu recognized the beautiful dagger at a glance. It was the shorter of the two daggers he had found at the home of Gong Chengming, the second-in-command of the Survivors' Alliance. He had even fought with Ju Wuying over it back then...

"Ha, this craftsmanship is quite rare! It's a fine weapon!"

Ding Yongguo, who was sitting in the corner drinking tea, saw the dagger and his eyes lit up. He then gave his evaluation from a professional perspective.

Yu Ziyan took the dagger with its dazzling blade, then picked up the sheath, curiously brandished it a couple of times, and then tried to put the dagger back into the sheath. Her movements were very clumsy, and she only succeeded after several attempts.

Everyone could see that Yu Ziyan was a diamond in the rough, having never received any training before; she was truly a natural talent for martial arts.
Zhang Su sensed Ju Wuying's seriousness, which was exactly the same as when she taught him her skills. Undoubtedly, Yu Ziyan must have something special about her.

Since Tachibana Mai-Ying didn't reveal the truth, the others didn't press further. According to her, she could defeat the young Zhang Han-Shuo in half a month, so they decided to wait and see. They then unanimously started discussing the topic of aircraft carriers.

"Brother Su, what are our plans for tomorrow? Are we heading straight for the strait?"

"I am an activist," Lu Yubo asked in a loud voice.

"The sooner the better, but we're short of a driver. There are only two people in the camp who can operate a cargo ship. Even if you include the half-baked White and McCree, that's only four people. We're still short a driver! Anyone interested in giving it a try?"

The straight-line distance from Qincheng Port to the Qinhai Strait is about 200 kilometers. At the speed of those cargo ships, it would take more than 10 hours. Zhang Su's idea was to arrange for people to learn and apply what they learned during this process!

These are the conditions, and the time is very limited. It's like being forced into a corner; we have to make it work even if it's not feasible.

“I’ll give it a try. I love learning to drive and I learn pretty quickly.”

Tan Huajun usually waits passively for tasks to be assigned, so this time she volunteered, which is quite rare.

Zhang Su laughed and said, "Old Tan, your hobby is quite interesting. I remember you said you have an A1 license, so conventional land transportation is no problem for you. Now you're planning to develop your career at sea. That's perfect. Bring the air domain along with you. When we recruit pilots, count you in."

“Okay, no problem.” Tan Huajun agreed readily. Even if Zhang Su hadn’t said anything, she would have signed up anyway.

"Alright, that's perfect, Dr. Liu... wait a minute! Lao Yu, have you forgotten something?"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten!"

Yu Wen smiled a little embarrassedly, stood up, adjusted his glasses, looked at everyone, and said solemnly, "Well, I have something to tell you all."

Everyone was curious and sat up straight. Teacher Yu was so serious; it must be something important!

"You all should remember Liu Lingping, the psychologist who came from the doomsday bunker? I have a good working relationship with Dr. Liu and we share common interests in life, so... I brought her up the mountain. Please forgive me."

Yu Wen felt that he had taken two people up the mountain in one day, and he clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to ask the core members for their forgiveness.

"Oh, is that so? Haha, Teacher Yu, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities..."

"Exactly! A twilight romance where both partners are in love—that's wonderful!"

"Teacher Yu is busy with all sorts of things every day. With someone taking care of your life, you can relax a lot. Congratulations!"

Upon hearing this, everyone congratulated Yu Wen.

Zhang Su gestured to the crowd with his hands and asked, "Since you're all here on the mountain, where are you? Why didn't you come to sit with us?"

"It's inconvenient for her since she's new here. Let's wait until next time and let her naturally integrate into our lives."

Yu Wen put it very subtly, but what Liu Lingping really felt was a little embarrassed.

"Oh no. Teacher Yu has a girlfriend, and that kid Zheng Ziwen has a girlfriend too. What are we single folks going to do?"

Qi Xiaoshuai suddenly let out a compassionate cry, which struck the hearts of several single men.

Wu Lue, Pang Dakun, and Wang Xingui looked at each other speechlessly, then helplessly shrugged. Wang Xingui, in particular, had always had women by his side, both during peacetime and back in Lianhe Village, but now he was all alone...

Not all bachelors yearn for a partner. For example, Zhou Haotian and Ke Zhiyu have no such worries. They just want to be alone, without any attachments or responsibilities, feeling carefree.

"You want to find partners? Don't rush, we'll be organizing a matchmaking event in a while. All eligible women in the camp will be invited, except for the beauties registered at the Ecstasy Cave! Don't get too excited..."

Seeing the group of guys beaming with excitement, Zhang Su, knowing that finding a partner would be a piece of cake for them as members of the Yama Legion, offered a word of advice.

"Finding a partner is not child's play, it's not like going to a brothel to pick up girls. You have to take responsibility. Teacher Yu is currently drafting the Tianma Island Marriage Law. Once you find a partner, you must abide by the law, understand?"

"what!?"

The three were dumbfounded, never expecting such a turn of events.

"What nonsense! Without rules and regulations, wouldn't everything be in complete chaos?"

With a grim expression, Wu asked, "Brother Su, what responsibility?"

Everyone here was once a law-abiding citizen. Although civilization has collapsed, we still have a sense of awe for the law. Whenever something involves the law, we must take it seriously!
"I don't know how Teacher Yu will handle it, but stability will definitely be strengthened. Don't worry, the responsibility is not only for men, but also for women. Marital relationships are protected by the camp. If... having an extramarital affair will result in legal consequences!"

Seeing Zhang Su's serious expression, the group knew that this was no exaggeration, so they put away their playful mood. Girls are certainly attractive, but the responsibility is not easy to bear!

Life is inherently carefree and comfortable; you should never easily put shackles on yourself!
