The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1146 Along the Way, With You and Me (Thanks to Yun Yue for the generous donation!)

"I understand the situation. Apart from the flashing light, the big ball doesn't seem to be reacting in any other way, right?"

Zhang Su pressed the call button, calmly inquired, and said he would think about his own matter later.

"It just flashes, nothing else. Um, Uncle, you should rest. I'm going back to my shift. Oh wow!"

"Okay, drive slowly on the way back."

After the call ended, Zhang Su was completely unable to sleep.

He spoke very softly to Pang Dakun, and also turned the volume on the walkie-talkie very low, but Zhong Xiaoshan still woke up...

"Are you in any trouble?"

Zhong Xiaoshan sat up and asked softly.

Zhang Su rubbed his cheeks, somewhat puzzled, and said, "It's not exactly troublesome, it's just some phenomena I don't understand, it's giving me a headache."

Only at home could Zhang Su show some signs of low energy, much like some bosses of large companies in peacetime who always appear confident and high-spirited in front of outsiders, but can only confide all their worries to those close to them.

Zhong Xiaoshan took her pajamas from the bedside table, put them on, got out of bed and sat opposite Zhang Su. She smoothed her slightly messy long hair and then put her hand on his shoulder.

“Honey, you don’t have to shoulder everything alone. You still have me and Xinyu, and so many good brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. Every member of the camp can share the pressure. Don’t make things too hard on yourself.”

"You're right..."

Zhang Su smiled strangely. He was facing a bizarre situation that no one could share his burden with. At most, he could confide in someone, but that wouldn't solve the problem.

“I’ve been managing all the affairs of the camp lately, and I can feel that everything is going in a good direction. The camp you’ve been protecting is thriving. Why don’t you take a break and enjoy the fruits of your labor?”

Zhong Xiaoshan felt that Zhang Su had been busy the whole way and had never stopped. She didn't know if the leaders of other survivor camps were like this, but she felt that Zhang Su should enjoy himself, even if it was just a partial victory.

"It's not time to stop now, and besides, I didn't walk very fast. You should go and rest. I slept for five or six hours, but you didn't get much sleep. You still have to be busy during the day."

Zhang Su told Zhong Xiaoshan to go to sleep. This virtuous wife had helped him a lot in domestic affairs, and her merits and contributions were second only to Yu Wen.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

Zhong Xiaoshan saw that Zhang Su showed no intention of moving.

"I'm not sleepy anymore. Sit down and think about today's arrangements. Oh, by the way, let me tell you in advance that not all the supplies from the port need to be transported back. You can go there first to do a count and keep 20%."

The port needs to be built, and the food supply needs to be guaranteed.

Zhong Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. I'm going to take another nap. Don't catch a cold. No, wait, you and Xinyu aren't cold anymore, that's great..."

When asked about the word "really good," Zhong Xiaoshan shrugged, a hint of helplessness on her face.

During her escape from Qincheng, she was a fighter capable of facing zombies alone. After establishing a camp, she moved from the outside to the inside.

Human energy is limited. After managing a lot of tasks, there is almost no time left for exercise, and physical fitness improves very slowly.

Zhang Su sensed the faint loneliness in Zhong Xiaoshan's heart, which was exactly the same as Duan Wuhu's situation.

He stepped forward, put his arm around her, and comforted her, "Everyone has their own place. We can't do without combat personnel like me, nor can we do without internal affairs managers like you. Technology is advancing, and perhaps one day you can improve your strength through some special methods."

"Like Teacher Duan?"

Zhong Xiaoshan looked at Zhang Su with shining eyes. Duan Wuhu's improvement was obvious to all. Although the details were not made public, the core members knew the general idea.

"Similar, but it's too risky right now. Old Duan's approach is reckless. We'll have to wait until the safety factor is improved before we talk about it."

"Okay, honey, I heard from Teacher Zuo that you know a unique calming method that can help people fall asleep quickly. Could you help me? I can't fall asleep for a while." Zhong Xiaoshan smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, get into bed and lie down. I'll find a book."

Zhang Su was speechless. What kind of calming method is this...?

After releasing his emotions, Zhang Su quickly put Zhong Xiaoshan to sleep. He put down his book and decided to go for a walk. Sitting at home, he could only think wildly and couldn't find any answers.

After getting dressed, I went out of the house and arrived at the campsite, intending to go to Maple Leaf Inn to listen to see if Chang Qingsheng had any unusual behavior.

"Hey buddy, you're up early today?"

As soon as Zhang Su stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Zhao Dezhu carrying two buckets toward Xiao Xingyun. The cooks had to get up earlier than the other members to prepare breakfast.

"Da Kun messaged me earlier saying that the Big Ball Light Exploded and I couldn't sleep, so I went downstairs for a walk. You were here even earlier than me, the most diligent cook on Tianma Island!"

Zhang Su smiled and said, "I opened the lid of the bucket and took a look. Inside were pieces of pickled mustard tuber."

Zhao Dezhu chuckled and said, "What's so special about me? Haha, you have to make breakfast early, right? But I'm not the most diligent one. I just came from over there, and there were still sounds coming from the lab. It felt like Dr. Fu and the others had been working all night!"

"So hard?"

Zhang Su stared intently at Cui Leng Xuan, and indeed, a faint light seeped out from the courtyard wall.

"By the way, it's your shift today to go to the port with Bo-zai to keep an eye on things, right?"

Zhao Dezhu nodded and said, "That's right. Are there any things I need to be aware of?"

"The main thing to be careful about is safety... That ball is like a madman. Although it can improve our strength, there's something fishy about it, like a ticking time bomb!"

Zhang Su did not hide his thoughts from the core members, though this time bomb was mainly aimed at him personally.

Zhao Dezhu frowned, pursed his lips, and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "Isn't this what you guys always say? Danger and reward go hand in hand. To be honest, brother, I don't really have any special feelings about it. But you make the decisions. We'll carry out whatever you arrange!"

popping.

Zhang Su patted Zhao Dezhu on the shoulder and laughed, "You're right, danger and reward go hand in hand. Okay, Zhuzi, you're busy, I'll wander around."

"Okay, wait a minute, bro, do you... um, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I'm not cold anymore. I just walked over from over there and even felt a warm breeze!"

Zhao Dezhu gestured towards the Jingxinyuan Guesthouse at the highest point. He had just taken the pickled mustard tuber from the warehouse there. He specifically mentioned the direction because there were fire-breathing zombies in the parking lot, and the blacksmith shop next door always had some heat wafting around, so it was not surprising.

"The reason we're not afraid of the cold is because of the cold energy in our bodies. I just discovered that too. But as for the heating... I don't feel it. Isn't it still the same as always?"

Zhang Su stretched out his hand and waved it to increase air circulation, but he didn't feel anything special.

"Oh, maybe I was just imagining things. Okay, I'll get back to work now. I have to go to the port to change shifts later."

After saying that, Zhao Dezhu ran into the yard to prepare breakfast.

Zhang Su continued walking towards Maple Leaf Inn, not paying much attention to Zhao Dezhu's words. But after walking only ten meters or so, he stopped and frowned slightly.

"Something doesn't feel right..."

Zhang Su stretched out his hand and fanned the air in the air, speeding up the airflow while sniffing the air.

"Zhu Zi is right!"

The air was filled with warm air currents and a faint dampness!
