The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1170 Attack on the Sentry Post
"Hey, Guo'er, how's it going on your end?"

Just as everything was quiet, the walkie-talkie in Tian Fan's chest bag rang. He took it out; it was a very outdated model, clearly not the high-powered version provided by the camp.

"Everything's normal, what's wrong?"

Tian Fan didn't care about the humorous nickname. He forgot who first called him that name. He thought it would be great if he could be as powerful as "Guo'er," so he gladly accepted it.

"Hey, nothing much, just wanted to chat with some buddies since it's a long night. So, do you think there's a chance between me and Ma Xueyan?"

The speaker was Bullfrog, a member of the team that came to Tianma Island from Longtou Camp. The walkie-talkie in Tian Fan's hand was given to him by Bullfrog so that they could chat and relieve boredom while on duty.

Tian Fan stared intently at the surveillance footage, a troubled smile playing on his lips, and replied, "Bullfrog, if you ask me, don't hang your head on one tree. Didn't Minister Yu say there's a social gathering coming up soon? You can choose another target then..."

"Why? You think I'm not good enough for Ma Xueyan? I'll join the elite legion sooner or later!"

Tian Fan tried to be tactful, but Bullfrog insisted on revealing the truth himself.

"Whether you're a good match or not is another matter. Ma Xueyan is with Fan Dahai now, and they're on very good terms. You'll have to compete with the Knight of Light first. Even if you win, Ma Xueyan might not choose you. Dating isn't like a martial arts contest to find a husband!"

Besides... I'm not trying to discourage you, but I really think you're no match for Fan Dahai, so you'd better not go and get beaten up!

Tian Fan felt that Bullfrog was a good guy, but a bit stubborn. He didn't like ordinary girls and insisted on finding Ma Xueyan, one of the few female members in the elite legion!

Who is Ma Xueyan? She was a double champion during the test. In an elite team where male members accounted for 98% of the members, she was able to stay in the middle by relying on her own strength and suppress a group of male compatriots. She is quite powerful!

Bullfrog, on the other hand, was of average quality in the reserve legion, and there was a considerable gap between the two.

By the old standards, Ma Xueyan would be an elite white-collar worker with an annual income of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan, while Niuwa would probably earn 18,000 to 10,000 yuan a month, which is neither high nor low.

The crucial point is that she's now hanging out with men of the same social class, and Tian Fan can't understand what reason Ma Xueyan could possibly have for turning to his friend...

"Guo'er, you've seriously hurt my pride. You have to buy me a cigarette tomorrow!"

The bullfrog wasn't angry; instead, it complained in a tearful voice.

"I'd like to ask you to pluck a hair... Hmm? There seems to be some commotion on my end, I'll talk to you later."

After saying that, Tian Fan turned off the walkie-talkie he was chatting with. Something floated by in the dark wilderness in the distance, which was very unusual!

Are there zombies?

There's no wind, so there shouldn't be any living creatures. Therefore, the remaining answer is quite simple!
Tian Fan's heart tightened. He set up his specially made stand and placed the rifle on it, so he could shoot with one hand. After thinking for a moment, he put the rifle down and picked up a steel bar next to him. He would deal with the zombies with melee weapons if possible, and never use a gun.

"Hey, this is Post 14. There seems to be a zombie sighting to the southwest. I'm going to deal with it now."

There's a rule that if an anomaly is detected at a sentry post, don't worry about it too much at first; notify the others first. All twenty-plus sentry posts, plus the Tianma Island monitoring room, will receive the message.

"Received. I will confirm the message and report back immediately!"

The other twenty-odd sentry posts do not speak; all responses are handled by the Tianma Island monitoring room.

"It's good to have something to do."

Tian Fan clipped the walkie-talkie to his chest, slung the rifle across his shoulder, and turned to go downstairs, steel bar in hand. Suddenly, he heard a snapping sound not far from the window behind him. Where was he outside? The vast wasteland surrounding the barn!
When the report was given, the floating object was still hundreds of meters away. How did it get so close so quickly?
Tian Fan's heart skipped a beat. He gripped the steel bar tightly in his hand. Having been through many storms, he wasn't too afraid of zombies. He pushed open the door and prepared to go downstairs.

rustle……

This time the sound was closer, coming from the dark barn below.

There's no sound for no reason!
The cold light of the camping lamps elongated Tian Fan's shadow, making the barn appear even darker, like an abyss. He suddenly felt dizzy, and the fear he had just overcome resurfaced in his mind. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't move.

"call……"

Tian Fan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, encouraging himself: "A real man has nothing to be afraid of! I'll kill any monsters and demons with one blow! Let's go!"

*Pfft*

Just as Tian Fan took an important step and was about to land on the stairs, a strange wind blew across his face, blowing sand directly into his eyes. It was very uncomfortable, but he could still open his eyes a little. His vision was blurry, and it felt like his tears had frozen into ice and were stuck to his eyeballs, along with a stinging sensation.

"Ah...uh..."

When danger approaches, Tian Fan has a particularly strong sense of warning and will shout out directly, which is a faster way than grabbing a walkie-talkie.

The nearest sentry post is only about a kilometer away, and it can definitely be heard in the dead of night. It has been agreed long ago that any strange shouts should be taken as an enemy invasion!

Before he could raise his voice, something pressed against his chest, causing him to gasp in pain and lose his voice.

The intense pain did not make Tian Fan lose his mind. He was a man who had faced life and death before. He swung the steel bar in his hand in the direction of the attack, and then reached for the walkie-talkie on his chest.

It's now certain that what's coming are people, not zombies. This is even more dangerous than zombies, and we must report it. Just pressing the call button, even if it's just a second or two of background noise, will be enough to give us a warning.

Before her hand even reached her chest, she felt a force tugging at her clothes. She thought to herself, "I'm doomed!"

Sure enough, when he touched his chest again, it was empty; there was only a cold pocket, and the walkie-talkie was nowhere to be found.

Cold sweat poured from Tian Fan's forehead. He had been through many hardships, even crawling out of a bloody path amidst a zombie ambush. Was he going to perish at the camp's sentry post today?

impossible!
Tian Fan let out a mournful cry like a wild beast and rammed directly into the table. There was an alarm device installed on the back of the table; pushing the table against the wall would trigger the alarm.

Unfortunately, as soon as he took a step, he felt weightless and was immediately pinned to the ground, unable to move. His experience was truly bizarre!
"Little one, don't move around or shout. The old man won't hurt you."

An aged but confident voice rang in Tian Fan's ears.

"You killed... uh..."

As Tian Fan felt the pain in his chest subside, he refused to listen to the other party and was about to shout when he was struck in the ribs again. He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he couldn't make a sound. The other party's technique was extremely cunning and ruthless.

"If you listen to me, you'll suffer less. I'm here with no ill intentions; I just need you to do me a favor."

The old voice was calm, but the strength in his hands was extraordinary. Tian Fan tried to struggle but to no avail, as if he were wrapped in ropes countless times.

Tian Fan was shocked, realizing he had encountered a master, but he didn't believe a word this guy said!
No malicious intent?
Bullshit. You start hitting someone without any malicious intent? That's what you call no malicious intent?
