The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1054 Observing the situation or striking first?

"Brother Su, why do you think the people on the aircraft carrier are keeping them here? Logically, they shouldn't be lacking supplies... It would have been better to just drive them away with defensive weapons. Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Wang Xin could never understand the actions of those American soldiers.

"Not every choice is logical, and we can't judge them using normal human thinking, because those people are empty inside!"

Zhang Su gave Wang Xin an answer based on his own ideas.

"I feel so empty..."

Wang Xin and Wu Baokang recited it together, but in two different tones.

Wang Xin was filled with doubt. He didn't quite understand what emptiness felt like. He seemed to have never felt empty in his life. Whenever he felt bored, he would always look for interesting things to fill his free time.

Wu Baokang's tone was somewhat wistful, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. Thinking of some past experiences, he said with feeling, "Emptiness is really terrible. Ten days is enough to make a person's will sink, let alone them being 'empty' for more than a hundred days!"

Once, during a mission in the northern White Bear Kingdom, which involved three parties working together, a problem with the timeline caused Wu Baokang and his group to be trapped deep in the snowfield. Fortunately, a wooden hut built by a hunter allowed them to survive, but they truly felt the terrifying emptiness during that period.

Emptiness generally refers to a feeling of boredom and lack of energy, but the psychological problems it can cause should not be underestimated. It begins with a negative mindset and a decline in willpower, and then can develop into problems such as depression, bipolar disorder, and mania...

"Emptiness may be real, but I think those soldiers must have been well-prepared to do this!"

Zhang Su stared intently at the cautious people on the aircraft carrier deck, and then said, "I guess they have imagined many possibilities during their long period of drifting, and the situation they are currently facing should be within their expectations!"

There might be traps on the aircraft carrier capable of wiping them out, or they might have acquired some extraordinary abilities, or there might be some strangely powerful zombies. In any case, they wouldn't leave these people to die!

"They must want to kill people for thrills!"

Zhang Su had not studied psychology, but after experiencing many things, he was able to offer reasonable and well-founded speculations from a human nature perspective.

Wang Xin and Wu Baokang nodded slowly, agreeing with this viewpoint; no one would deliberately lure the enemy deep into their territory just to die.

"By the way, Xiao Wang, have White and the others try out the signal beacon!"

"Oh right!" Wang Xin realized and quickly translated for the two of them.

The signal beacon is very easy to operate; simply turn on the switch and it will automatically release a signal.

White turned on the knob, and the red pulse light lit up, indicating that the machine was still working. He explained that once the pulse light turned green, it meant that the other side had received the signal and completed the feedback.

The people in the cabin stared at the red pulse light. A minute passed quickly, but there was still no change.

"Hmm... Brother Su said that the people on the aircraft carrier might not have time to keep an eye on the signal receiver."

Wang Xin smiled strangely.

Zhang Su nodded and said, "That's true. With a major battle imminent, who the hell has time to watch this? Forget it, let's turn it off and see what they do next!"

There were more than 600 combat personnel surrounding the aircraft carrier, but only more than 22 people were the first to step onto the carrier deck. Some people thought that planning before acting was the best strategy, while others thought that striking first was the way to win!
The three major forces from the Liao Peninsula made no move. Not only were the Tongzhou Society and the Qianlong Gang fully armed and standing on the deck in high alert, but even Black Fang from the Wild Dog Camp remained silent, displaying unusual calmness like a lurking beast.

The leaders of each faction stood on high points on the ships, trying to understand the situation on the aircraft carrier.

"Brother Qian, could it be that the people on the aircraft carrier have no other means, and that electromagnetic explosion just now was their last resort?"

Zhang Xiangqian's adjutant, a tall and strong man, came to the main ship from another ship. He was holding a large machete and had a shield on his back. His clothes were covered in ice, as he had been splashed with water when he rescued people earlier.

Not only him, but all the members of the Fellowship were gathered on one boat!
"It's hard to say, it's very complicated..."

Zhang Xiangqian is currently facing a huge dilemma.

He's the kind of person who likes to plan everything out, considering all possible scenarios before taking action.

For example, when he came to seize the aircraft carrier this time, he considered seven or eight possible directions, but none of them fit the current situation. It seems he still lacks experience...

When this kind of person leads a team, as long as the situation is within the plan, it's a winning situation, and the battle is comfortable. But if it deviates from the plan, they will become passive, which is the current situation of Tongzhou Club.

Zhang Xiangqian wanted to give the order and have everyone rush onto the aircraft carrier, but he was hesitant and worried about both the American soldiers' ambush and the Wild Dog Camp and the Hidden Dragon Gang's sabotage from the rear!

Coincidentally, Wild Dog Camp and Hidden Dragon Gang thought the same thing...

The people watching from the opposite bank were nervous, worried that the first group to board the aircraft carrier would seize the opportunity, but they also wanted to let the twenty-odd people test the waters, so they were conflicted and torn.

Those who were actually standing firmly on the aircraft carrier's flight deck were even more nervous than the more than 600 onlookers.

Twenty-two combatants formed a circle, facing outwards, and moved slowly across the flight deck, scanning their surroundings from every angle. They carried high-quality rifles, some with flashlights tucked into their chests, others wearing headlamps. The camp to which this group belonged must have looted a military camp; they wore uniform camouflage, which looked quite imposing and even seemed to have dispelled some of the fear and timidity they exuded.

They boarded the aircraft carrier with great fanfare, but when they actually stood on the solid, vast deck, they were dumbfounded...

We had no idea where the enemy was, what we should do, where it was safe, or where it was dangerous. We also didn't know how to get into the ship's cabin. All the preparation we had done beforehand was useless!

The fires on the two crashed helicopters had subsided, but were still burning. The charred corpses were twisted and deformed. The electromagnetic bombs had not caused any substantial damage to the flight deck. The scattered zombie limbs in the distance looked rather pathetic.

"Pao'er, are we sure we've secured our victory by being the first to scale the walls?"

A man of medium build was speaking to his comrade beside him, his voice trembling.

"You better calm yourself down first. Calm down my ass. Look at yourself now, does that look like you're calm?"

Pao'er was in his forties, but looked like he was in his fifties. He had obvious wrinkles around his eyes and was sweating profusely from nervousness.

"Attention everyone! Look in the direction of my flashlight and move in that direction."

Just then, the squad leader gave orders, shining his flashlight toward the aircraft maintenance area on the deck, which looked like a passageway to the lower deck compartments.

"Squadron leader, should we... should we notify the elite regiment? This place is safe, let everyone come over!"

"Who the hell is the captain, you or me? If you're willing to be a reserve soldier for life, then get back here."

The squad gave a low growl, and the entire formation fell silent.

"There's no turning back, let's go."

"Let's fight this battle."

"Being chosen is fate, I'm lucky, let's go!"

There's nothing we can do about being drawn as the first seed; since we've come this far, let's give it our all...

The dissenting voices in the group were suppressed, and the more than twenty people made their way toward the aircraft maintenance area.

The soles of the shoes made a smooth, rustling sound as they rubbed against the flight deck, probably because they hadn't been cleaned for a long time and were covered in dust, making them a bit slippery.

More than twenty people followed closely behind. It was the first time in their lives that they had stepped onto an aircraft carrier. Who knew it would turn out like this? It was absolutely terrifying.

zizi.

Suddenly, a faint hum of electricity came from below.

Everyone stopped and lowered their heads in unison, but at that moment, the buzzing sound of hydraulic rods running came from diagonally in front of them.

Awooo, awooo...

The flashlight was shone towards the source of the sound, and an elevator serving carrier-based aircraft was pushed up from the ship's cabin. However, what was brought up was not carrier-based aircraft, but a group of zombies in a dazed state!

When they saw that it was a zombie, most of the people in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Having fought zombies for more than half a year, their fear of these creatures had long since faded. So when a large group of zombies appeared in the distance, these people didn't take them seriously; instead, they were secretly pleased.

"Those stupid American soldiers have never seen anything like this. They must think these ordinary zombies are incredibly scary."

"Those American soldiers are a bit arrogant. They think they can take us out with a bunch of zombies?"

"Don't let your guard down. There are at least forty or fifty of them. It'll be dangerous if they charge. Retreat carefully, use the carrier-based aircraft as cover, and prepare for battle!"

Captain Fang calmly directed his team to retreat. Even with absolute certainty of success, they still had to be careful!
When there is no danger, people feel fear because it is full of unknown challenges, but when the opponent has revealed their hand, then they should take a gamble.

Awooo, awooo!

The zombies brought up by the elevator sensed the presence of humans and gradually awoke from their dazed state. They began to move toward the twenty-two-person team with their unique gait, and as they moved, they gradually changed.

"Ok?"

One of the men in the group squinted, focusing his gaze, and immediately uttered a questioning sound. But when he clearly saw what he wanted to see, his expression changed. However, long-standing habits told him he couldn't shout…

"No... This! This is... mutants, they're all mutant zombies!"
