The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1139 Under One's Eyes

"correct!"

Zhang Su changed the subject, saying, "Back on the aircraft carrier, I discussed the general's strength with Lei Zhao. You definitely know more about him than he does. Feel free to say whatever you think is better, the general or me. I'm the kind of person who can accept criticism the most."

Chang Qingsheng glanced at the fire-breathing zombie every now and then, showing his interest in the mutated zombie. Hearing Zhang Su's question, he had to think about it seriously, but then he suddenly smiled.

"I haven't formally fought you, nor have I had a serious duel with the General. My understanding of you is probably less than a tenth of what it is, so I can't give a reliable conclusion. Let me just give my subjective judgment. Judging from your displayed combat strength, you are stronger than the General. At least I didn't know the General possessed supernatural abilities!"

"That's what Razor Claw said too..."

Zhang Su nodded slightly, not taking these words to heart. Just as Chang Qingsheng said, neither side had truly revealed their full strength, so it was impossible to make a fair judgment.

He wouldn't become arrogant or conceited just because both of them said he was better than the general; that would be utterly insane.

"I'm curious, won't the general go out on missions with you?"

Chang Qingsheng shook his head and said, "The general will handle some tricky and troublesome matters himself. Now that you mention it... we really haven't fought together."

Zhang Su nodded, without delving further into the discussion.

"What a strange zombie. You call it a fire-breathing zombie, so its main attack method must be breathing fire. With this guy's assistance, Tianma Island shouldn't lack electricity, right?"

Although Chang Qingsheng was not involved in the management of the camp, he was still a high-level leader and was able to quickly connect the fire-breathing zombies with the development of the camp.

"Whether we have it or not, we don't lack electricity for the time being. We originally wanted to use it to generate electricity, but due to the current technology, it has not yet been realized. Tianma Island's development is slower than Chuangshi Island's. The main difficulty is in talent recruitment. We don't lack ordinary laborers, but we lack people with special skills."

Zhang Su looked in the direction of the densely populated satellite villages. For a camp to be stable, military strength plays a decisive role, but the subsequent development of the camp depends on the level of technology.

"The world has always been a place of division and unity, but I believe things will only get better in the future."

Chang Qingsheng made a vague and empty statement, neither saying who would get better or worse, nor how they would separate or reunite...

"Come with me to the blacksmith's shop, and I'll find you a place to stay."

After visiting the fire-breathing zombie, Zhang Su restored the cargo box to its original state and led Chang Qingsheng to the blacksmith shop next door, casually asking, "The smelting industry of Genesis must be quite large, right?"

Chang Qingsheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's not a large-scale operation. There's just a workshop that specializes in making cold weapons, with about ten people working there. I don't know much about it."

The number of departments in Genesis is greater than that in Tianma Island. As the head of a combat department, Chang Qingsheng simply cannot understand the specific situation of the logistics department. Limited energy is one issue, but asking too many questions would also arouse suspicion.

"Mr. Zhang is here! And who is this?"

When Ding Yongguo saw Zhang Su and the stranger approaching, he stopped working, took off his gloves, and handed out cigarettes to each of them. He was slightly curious about their conversation, but since they didn't invite him to join in, he didn't say anything.

"Chang Qingsheng, the 'Chang' of 'frequently,' is a trainee member of the Yama Legion. Old Ding, what do you need me for?"

Zhang Su gave a brief introduction to Chang Qingsheng's situation and got straight to the point.

"Hey! Mr. Zhang, just you wait and see."

Ding Yongguo smiled and opened a piece of kraft paper, revealing a silver-gray metal rod, about the same length as the long-handled bone hammer that Zhang Su hung at his waist.

The grip area has a frosted texture, and the "Z" shaped dragon pattern carved on one end is much more exquisite than that on the steel rod!
"This is... Hey, Lao Ding, you've got a good eye! You knew my weapon got bent during the last battle, so you got me a new one!"

Zhang Su could tell from the shape of the metal rod that it was meant to replace the long handle of the bone hammer.

"Yeah, I melted down the floating crutches of those big black bears that caused trouble before. I have to say, the material of that weapon is pretty amazing. It's much stronger than ordinary steel bars. If it weren't for it, I would have been exhausted!"

Ding Yongguo pointed at the fire-breathing zombie.

Nowadays, fire-breathing zombies are good helpers for blacksmith shops. When needed, just call on the program and let a few bursts of flames greatly improve the efficiency of smelting metal!
Chang Qingsheng looked at the metal rod with a strange expression. If the old blacksmith hadn't pointed it out, he would never have guessed that it was forged from the weapons of those guys from the Wild Bear Tribe.

Zhang Su gripped the metal rod; its heavy weight felt very comfortable, both in terms of grip and weight distribution, it was better than the previous steel rod. "Okay, Lao Ding, I like this new rod."

"I'm glad you like it! It's not completely finished yet. I'll just wait for you to remove that femur so I can put it back on, and then the new weapon will be complete!"

Ding Yongguo said with a smile that he was very happy to have his work recognized.

"for you."

Zhang Su took the long-handled bone hammer from his waist, weighed it in his hand, and placed it on the table.

"Brother Su's weapon is quite unique, it's a pity I haven't had the chance to see it."

Chang Qingsheng had noticed this uniquely shaped weapon long ago; it had a very primitive and rugged design style!
"Hey... it's better not to witness it. Even with Black Bear activating its modification power, it can't withstand more than a few hammer blows. It's very tough!"

Zhang Su tapped the crystal-clear femur with the new metal handle, producing a tapping sound.

"Oh?"

Chang Qingsheng's eyes were full of curiosity. He really wanted to ask what kind of bone it was that could withstand the black bear, but since the other party wouldn't say, he didn't feel comfortable asking directly. He'd wait until later...

"Mr. Zhang, you're busy. It'll be ready by tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm off then. Go arrange a place for the trainees to stay."

After saying that, Zhang Su led Chang Qingsheng up the mountain.

"Oh? You're planning to let me stay here?"

Chang Qingsheng was quite surprised to see Zhang Su leading him toward the former laboratory, as he had observed that the mountain was full of core members.

“I can’t feel at ease unless I keep you under my watchful eye, especially since you’re a trainee member of the Yama Legion, so of course you should live on the mountain.”

"So that's it..."

Chang Qingsheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Hmm? Yu Ziyan, are you still training?"

Soon, the two arrived at the gate of Maple Leaf Inn, where Zhang Su saw Yu Ziyan running back along the path leading to the mountain stream.

"Hoo, hoo... Uncle Zhang, hello there!"

Yu Ziyan was breathing heavily, wearing only thin clothes, but she was clearly not cold. Her forehead was covered in sweat, which made her hair stick together. When she saw Zhang Su, she quickly greeted him, her little face flushed.

"I'm exercising, it's the program that Master An arranged."

Yu Ziyan wiped the stray hairs from her forehead and looked at Zhang Su with a smile. She had only been on Tianma Island for two days, and although she hadn't gained weight, her appearance was already quite different.

Chang Qingsheng was somewhat surprised to see this scene. He didn't expect that Tianma Island had a youth training group. This child looked to be only about ten years old, yet he trained so hard. It was rare!

Click.

The door of Maple Leaf Inn opened, and Ju Wuying walked out. She nodded to Zhang Su, then said to Zi Yan, "Go and tidy yourself up, then meditate and calm your mind. Remember, you are not allowed to drink water in the morning from now on!"

"Oh, okay, Master."

After answering very respectfully, Yu Ziyan waved to Zhang Su and the strange man, then ran into the Maple Leaf Inn with an embarrassed look on her face.

She told a little lie: the training program arranged by Tachibana Mai Sakura was completed in the morning, and there was another set of training in the afternoon. She was sweating profusely just now mainly because she was being punished for forgetting that she couldn't drink water in the morning.
