The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1098 Return Flight!

Zhang Su calmly watched the disaster unfold before him, truly observing from the sidelines, indifferent to the fact that it was none of his business, until he saw a figure appear!

"That person..."

Amidst the fleeing crowd, a man with only one leg struggled to hop forward. He was still quite agile, but in his haste to escape, he tripped and fell to the ground after stepping on something with one foot. The woman who had run out of the house noticed the man had fallen behind her and quickly turned around to help him up!
What shocked Zhang Su was not the woman—even when she turned around, her face was still a blur, impossible to see clearly—but the man who had fallen to the ground!

That silhouette looked just like him!
In the blink of an eye, the woman helped the man up and continued to flee into the distance. The survivors who had fled the camp seemed to have entered an invisible wall, and their figures disappeared!
Zhang Su stared blankly as the fire raged beneath his feet, the flames swirling and engulfing the entire camp, turning the space around him into a sea of ​​fire. Explosions and bursts of flames rose and fell, something seemed to be exploding, but since there was no sound, it looked very strange.

As the fire grew larger and the smoke rose higher, clusters of flames shot up to Zhang Su's side. The area where he was located was engulfed by the flames, but he felt nothing, as if he were a ghost wandering in the human world.

I wanted to find some clues in the dream, but unfortunately my super vision couldn't see through the flames and I couldn't see the situation inside those houses.

The silent collapse turned the homes the survivors depended on for survival into charred remains.

Suddenly, Zhang Su discovered that someone was struggling under a shed...

"Holy crap, wait a minute, there's someone else here!"

I don't know why this unlucky guy wasn't woken up, or why no one took him to escape. There were no shrill screams, only a half-black shadow dancing wildly in the orange-red flames, and then it went silent.

The raging fire continued to burn, Zhang Su's mind went blank, staring blankly at everything before him, unable to think at all, able to remain firmly in his dream...

Through the invisible barrier, Zhang Su seemed to see figures, the escaped survivors watching their homes being burned down in the distance. He also remembered the man's back.

"If it weren't for the missing leg, everyone would have thought that was me... But how could I be in such a miserable state?"

Zhang Su curled his lip and shook his head. If he were to encounter such a fire, he would freeze it with ice and tell the flames who the hell was in charge.

Regarding this dream, combined with some of his experiences in the previous two dreams, Zhang Su had a vague guess in his mind, but he dared not think about it carefully now, afraid that if he thought about it in that direction, he would be kicked back to reality. He would observe first and study it later!
Gradually, the fire died down, and wisps of black smoke rose from the charred areas. Only scattered spots remained burning throughout the camp area.

The coke wasteland before my eyes has transformed into metallic steel plates in the blink of an eye, with rivets the size of jujubes clearly visible...

"Just let me continue sleeping now that I'm back. Why wake me up?"

Zhang Su lay on his bed in the aircraft carrier's dormitory with his eyes open. Turning his head, he saw Zheng Xinyu curled up, fast asleep.

"At least I experienced the dream completely and mastered the technique, heh..."

Zhang Su sat up, feeling a little smug. He discovered that as long as he cleared his mind and didn't think about anything, he could wait peacefully until the end. He glanced at the time.

"Holy crap, it's already past three o'clock?"

In Zhang Su's sensory world, he was pulled into a dream as soon as he fell asleep, and then he came out after an hour or so. What seemed like a short dream was actually four or five hours in the real world!

None of that mattered; what Zhang Su cared about most was that figure that looked exactly like himself.

He hadn't dared to think about it carefully in his dream, but he tried his best to remember all the details. He closed his eyes and recalled the scene carefully, and it seemed even clearer than in his dream.

Three to five minutes later, Zhang Su slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion. He was basically certain that the man was himself. If it were just his back, it wouldn't be so bad, but the subtle movements when the woman helped him up were too similar. He kept recalling his previous dream, and the more he thought about it, the more similar it seemed!
"Is this another version of me from a parallel universe? Another version of me from another timeline? Or is that mysterious force telling me that without its help, this is what would have happened to me?"

Zhang Su racked his brains to think.

Because he was kicked out of the dream as soon as he started thinking about mysterious forces during his second dream, he had to consider this possibility again.

But what's the point of these conclusions?
"If it's just to let me know its importance, what's the point? Is it guiding me on something, or is it asking me to do something?"

Zhang Su changed his lying position, his brows furrowed.

If you need him to do something, you should give clearer instructions instead of keeping it a mystery.

Sizzle, sizzle...

A faint static sound came from the walkie-talkie next to the pillow, followed by Guo Dachao's voice.

"Brother Su, Brother Su." Zhang Su picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Is it fixed?"

"Yes, after tireless efforts, the last ship has also been successfully launched!"

Guo Dachao had been working alongside several repairmen on the small cargo ship, all to get the news to his boss as soon as the repairs were completed.

People who are strict with themselves are very conscientious. They not only actively participate in the work themselves, but also constantly urge their mentors to work harder...

"Okay, very good. Tell everyone to get up and have a 15-minute rest!"

Zhang Su put aside his thoughts, deciding to leave his dream for later reflection and focus on the important matters at hand.

The first to receive the news were members of the Yama Legion, followed by a series of piercing alarms sounding throughout the entire aircraft carrier…

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

When White learned that everyone needed to be called to get up and assemble, he suggested that the alarm be sounded, and then all the orange alarm lights on the entire aircraft carrier began to breathe and flash!
Wow, they really know how to do plastic surgery!

Zhang Su, who had just stepped onto the deck, was startled by the sudden alarm.

It must be said that the alarm was remarkably effective. What would normally be a 15-minute assembly time was reduced to seven or eight minutes in an instant, with all personnel gathered on the deck. Most of them were forced to turn on their phones, looking very energetic, but actually still showing signs of drowsiness in their eyes.

"The five tugboats are ready, and we'll begin towing operations soon. Let's keep going strong, and then we'll take a day off after returning to Tianma Island to rest well! Now, I'll assign tasks..."

Zhang Su first gave a pep talk, then began assigning tasks to the personnel, and the towing of the aircraft carrier began in earnest.

Yachts and fishing boats shuttled between the aircraft carrier and cargo ships, distributing the people on the aircraft carrier to the various cargo ships in case of accidents during towing, so that someone could handle the situation in time.

On the contrary, there are not many people who need to stay on the aircraft carrier.

"Set off, then return!"

With personnel in place, and at the leader's command, the five ships operated in unison, slowly increasing their power.

Hua Hua Hua.

Standing at the bow of the aircraft carrier, Zhang Su watched as the propellers beneath the five ships churned the seawater, the ships slowly moved forward, and the traction cables were gradually straightened and tightened.

Crunch, clack.

The steel cables were being pulled so hard they were rattling, the immeasurable tension acting directly on the ship's main structure; otherwise, no additional device could withstand it!
Wow.

"call."

Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief; he felt a slight tremor beneath his feet.

"Wang!"

"Squeak."

Good Luck and Lightning also keenly sensed the slight vibration and excitedly jumped up and down twice.

The program sensed Zhang Su's relaxed demeanor and started clapping along.

"All that hard work was worth it!" Zhang Su exclaimed.

After several months, the massive steel behemoth in the sea finally began to move again, slowly advancing in centimeters, with the sound of water splashing beneath its deck.

White and McCree stood at the highest point of the island superstructure, incredibly excited. They had dreamed of the carrier restarting more than once, and now it had finally come true, even if they were just being dragged around...

The biggest challenge lies in the initial startup. Once the steel behemoth is dragged along, everything else falls into place.
