The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1174 If you don't cooperate, I also have some martial arts skills.

Elder Zong's cheek twitched slightly, probably from clenching his back teeth.

He then looked up and laughed: "Haha... Why be so aggressive, Junjie? It's not easy for an old man to come all this way. He's just picking up a little kid to take home. Please do him a favor?"

Elder Zong stared intently at Zhang Su, as if trying to see through those dark sunglasses to discern the other man's expression.

Who is the little baby?

Zhang Su made no attempt to avoid the other party's piercing gaze, pretending not to know anything and letting the other party speak first.

"The little boy is Chang Ying, the Minister of the Genesis Warhawk Department."

The question-and-answer session went very smoothly, and Elder Zong was very cooperative.

"How can you be sure the person you're looking for is with me?" Zhang Su asked quietly.

Elder Zong waved his sleeve, then clasped his hands again and said, "The tech kids at the camp said that the Warhawk Division's helicopter had an accident in Qincheng, and they've all gathered in a small town called Changping."

"A town called Changping? You should look for that town. This is the Tianmayu Scenic Area, not a town!"

Zhang Su understood; Genesis was indeed able to pinpoint the helicopter's location accurately.

"hey-hey……"

Old Master Zong chuckled and stroked his beard, then shook his head and said, "I went to Changping Town, but it's full of traps, so I wouldn't dare to venture there."

People get wise with age...

Zhang Su muttered a curse to himself, but before he could speak, the other person spoke again.

"The vast Qin City is now only occupied by your camp. The young warriors of the War Eagle Division will have to stay here. I hope you won't pretend to be confused."

Elder Zong's attitude seemed polite, but it always carried an uncompromising domineering air.

"I heard you know how to absorb energy during rainfall to strengthen yourself?"

Like a celestial soldier leaping, Zhang Su directly shifted the conversation from the South Heavenly Gate to the Water Curtain Cave, indirectly acknowledging Chang Qingsheng's presence on Tianma Island.

"I……"

Even with Elder Zong's extensive experience, he was stumped by the other party's unexpected question!
"I don't think that's the main point of our conversation!"

Elder Zong's tone became slightly more serious. He glanced around and said, "It seems you have already extracted quite a few secrets of creation from Chang Ying?"

"I not only know that you know how to use rainfall to strengthen yourself, but I also know that you fooled the leader of the Creator and a group of war ministers, teaching them fake methods, and making them practice them, but to no avail!"

Zhang Su continued the conversation in his own direction. He was very interested in the secrets of this person and would be happy if he could pry out some information.

"Hahaha..." Elder Zong laughed, dusted off his sleeves, and shook his head, saying, "If the method is fake, then are all my skills fake too? You're too dull to learn it, so it's my fault for not teaching you the real skills. Chang Ying, did you really say that?"

Clearly, Zhang Su's words provoked Elder Zong, who shouted out to Chang Qingsheng from afar, his voice very penetrating, likely using some special pronunciation techniques.

"Hey, hey, you're so old, and your manners are terrible. It's past 1 a.m., and you're shouting and yelling in someone else's camp. What kind of behavior is that?"

Zhang Su heard a noise from the room next door, clearly having been woken up by Elder Zong's loud shout.

Indeed, all the guests staying at Wangshan B&B woke up, groggily opening a crack in the window to look outside... Only Wang Guangjun, who had hearing problems, slept soundly.

"Little one, I respect you as the leader of Tianma Island and treat you with courtesy. I also hope you understand the attitude of the Creator. We are not enemies. There is only one enemy, and that is the alien civilization!"

The phrase "extraterrestrial civilization" coming from the mouth of a seemingly venerable old man felt incredibly incongruous, like a Taoist master battling Ultraman. "Alright, since you put it that way, I have two questions for you! First, why didn't you just follow the proper procedures for your visit? Second, whose order was it that you said you were taking people back?"

Zhang Su could sense the anger that Elder Zong had just displayed, which led him to conclude that Elder Zong must have taught Chang Qingsheng and the others genuine skills, which they simply couldn't learn...

Of course, there is another very small possibility: that Elder Zong was angry that Chang Qingsheng had leaked the secret.

Elder Zong calmed himself down and said, “First of all, I came to Qin City to find Chang Qingsheng’s whereabouts, so naturally I had to understand the situation in Qin City first. I didn’t expect that Qin City now only has Tianma Island left. It just so happens that it was early morning, and your camp’s security was tight, so they found me and didn’t give me a formal opportunity to visit.”

Secondly, the leader of the Creation Realm entrusted me with bringing Chang Ying back, and has even prepared a special gift for this purpose. Please, leader of Tianma Island, do not make things difficult for the old man.”

After saying that, Elder Zong cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, but his eyes held an aggressive air, as if to say, "You'd better agree quickly, or I'll turn on you!"

"Damn it, this old guy came from the Creation Realm! Holy crap, another one from the Creation Realm is causing trouble again. This is never going to end!"

At Wangshan Guesthouse, Pang Dakun glared at Elder Zong through the crack in the window with an unfriendly look, his good friend Qi Xiaoshuai beside him.

The two slept in the same house but different bedrooms. After being woken up, they gathered together to watch the commotion.

Qi Xiaoshuai gave a cautious look and shook his head at Pang Dakun, meaning to keep quiet.

After listening to Elder Zong's words, Zhang Su pondered for a moment and said stiffly, "I can barely believe the explanation for the first question, but for the second one, please don't say I'm making things difficult for you, because I also have a request."

"please say."

Elder Zong waved his hand, showing a negotiating attitude.

"It's best for husbands and wives to live together. Could you please send Minister Chang's wife, Qian Xuanxuan, over here?"

Zhang Su didn't care about gifts at all. It wasn't that there wasn't anything in Genesis that interested him; of course there was, right in front of him!

"Um!?"

Upon hearing Zhang Su's words, Elder Zong's forceful demeanor faltered. Not only had Zhang Su rejected his request, but he had also made an excessive demand, which infuriated Elder Zong.

"Young man, have you always been so rude in making demands?"

When you feel that others are being rude, have you ever considered that it might be your own problem?

Zhang Su was also unhappy. Just because Chuangshi and Tianma Island were not hostile, he wanted to take the prisoners of war away. Wasn't that ridiculous?
If it weren't for the fact that Elder Zong had been quite polite to him, and that he possessed some unique skills, he would have already made a move!
"So, you're saying you're not going to hand Chang Ying over to me? Don't you want to know what I brought in exchange for you?"

Elder Zong didn't hesitate and gently patted himself, indicating that there was a treasure inside!
Zhang Su shook his head and said, "Chang Ying is a thing of the past. He is now using his former name, Chang Qingsheng. He is no longer the Minister of the Genesis War Eagle Department. He has surrendered to Tianma Island and become a trainee member of the Legion. I can't hand him over to you."

"And if I remember correctly, you just said you brought a gift, how did it turn into a bargaining chip? Old man, you not only lack manners, but you're also a smooth talker and a sophist!"

Zhang Su could see that there was absolutely no connection between martial arts skills and moral character. Elder Zong was definitely a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and his politeness was just a facade!

"Ugh……"

Elder Zong sighed, looking slightly annoyed, and said, "People are always so stubborn. So, Chief of Tianma Island, you really don't intend to cooperate with me?"

Do you think I'm a person who values ​​traditional virtues?

Zhang Su suddenly asked a strange question.

What traditional virtue is respecting the elderly?

Elder Zong was quite clever and immediately sensed the sarcasm in Zhang Su's words. He calmly replied, "If you don't cooperate, this old man also knows a little bit of martial arts. Are you trying to make things unpleasant?"
