The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1183 He slandered me!
"You, so your hidden motives have been discovered! No wonder the general wanted to kill you; it's your own fault for being dishonest!"

Zhang Su raised his hand and pointed, "Sometimes people are like that, unwilling to be content with the status quo, their ambitions are too high, and then they fall to their deaths!"
"Brother Su, I...I didn't think about what he said. He's slandering me!"

Chang Qingsheng looked at Zhang Su and noticed a faint smile playing on the corners of the other's lips, as if he had seen through everything.

"I... well, I really didn't think that way. It's just that some of the general's decisions are indeed infuriating. I have considered overstepping my bounds, but at most I would overstep my boundaries when carrying out missions. I never thought of replacing him!"

Chang Qingsheng made excuses, but the image of the glowing sphere appeared in his mind. He was fascinated by the power it brought, and at that time he did have some improper thoughts.

However, after his battle with Zhang Su, he realized that his thinking was somewhat naive. There are always mountains beyond mountains, and the gap cannot be bridged by a little improvement.

"Alright, whatever you're thinking, you're now a trainee member of the Yama Legion. Just don't even think about replacing me!"

Zhang Su waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on the past, and also somewhat feeling that Chang Qingsheng was overestimating himself!
According to Elder Zong's assessment, the general's personal strength is even greater than his own, not to mention the other forces under his control. Let alone a Warhawk Department Minister, I'm afraid even if the entire War Department united, they would have no chance of overthrowing the general!
Thinking of this, Zhang Su directly asked Elder Zong, "Hey, Elder Zong, do you think it's possible for the members of the four major war divisions of the Creation to bring down the General if they unite?"

"Destroying Xiao Weng won't do Genesis any good. If we have to say, the four major war divisions... ha..."

Elder Zong rolled his eyes and smiled, a look that Chang Qingsheng found rather irritating.

"It is impossible for the four major war divisions to form a united front. The Tiger Division is loyal to Xiao Weng, the Wild Bear Division is somewhat chaotic and fighting for resources to seize the position of the minister, the Spirit Monkey Division is on the sidelines, and the War Eagle Division has 'lofty ambitions'! Even if they can unite, the cyborgs are no different from cannon fodder, and the ministers lack cooperation. The only outcome will be a complete defeat."

Not to mention, Xiao Weng has a zombie army at his disposal. Although it's not very strong, it's enough to hold off any two war divisions. Add to that his other trump cards, and I think he doesn't even need to lift a finger; the four war divisions will be wiped out.

These words, coming from Elder Zong, are quite credible.

Zhang Su nodded slowly. This strength was normal and matched his assessment of the founder.

Chang Qingsheng looked doubtful, clearly not convinced by Elder Zong's judgment, but he did not question it, as such a debate would be meaningless.

Elder Zong said thoughtfully, "The overall power of creation is very strong. It should not be used for internal strife. Instead, it should unite against external forces, resist the zombie calamity, and suppress a region."

"Elder Zong seems to know a lot about the creation world. Tell me frankly, what exactly does the general mean by Qin City? Does your talk of suppressing a region include Qin City as well?"

Zhang Su had heard Chang Qingsheng and the former prisoner of war Cai Changli mention Zong Lao, and assumed he was a wise man who didn't concern himself with worldly affairs, but it seems that wasn't the case.

"From a third-party perspective, Xiao Weng had no intention of making enemies of anyone; he simply wanted to acquire resources to grow and expand. Inevitably, various frictions would arise in the process. It may sound noble, but it is ultimately a form of plunder."

He didn't intend to clash with Qin Cheng, but unfortunately, things didn't go smoothly. He had already halted his exploration of Qin Cheng, but then a strange set of data appeared—I don't understand those computer-generated things, but anyway, there were abnormal reactions in Qin Cheng, forcing him to send people over again to investigate.

Elder Zong shrugged helplessly and then added, "Young Master Weng's goal has always been to develop the world and eventually take charge of the entire Northern Plains. However... as you know, there will always be obstacles in the process of development, and everyone has different ways of overcoming them."

Zhang Su's eyes flashed. Why did this target's name sound so familiar?
It seems to be somewhat similar to my own thoughts...

"What if the leader of another faction also holds the same idea? What would be the final outcome if the two factions met?"

"do not know."

Both Elder Zong and Chang Qingsheng understood who Zhang Su was referring to in his question, but no one knew the answer, so they could only shake their heads in response.

"As long as the disaster can be quelled, it doesn't matter so much... Elder Zong, Lao Chang is very concerned about his wife's situation, why don't you talk to him about it?"

Zhang Su said something very righteous, but even he himself didn't know if it was the truth or just empty talk, and then he changed the subject.

“Before, Big Bear had no family, so Xiao Weng planned to use Qian Xuanxuan to set an example. This also brought up the previous issues. Only if you die can Genesis officially announce the compensation for the widow. But don’t worry, Qian Xuanxuan was fine when I left. Xiao Weng gave her a walkie-talkie so she can contact him if there are any problems.”

Elder Zong's expression was indifferent. He had no interest in the petty affairs of the ruling camp, and he would have been too lazy to get involved if he hadn't been asked to do so this time.

"Will they provide compensation to the widow?"

Chang Qingsheng muttered something bitterly. He, who used to write lyrics and play drums, never imagined that one day he would die a heroic death!

"That's easy, just fake his death, then you can go back and report," Zhang Su suggested a simple solution.

"Apparent death... is not that easy. The device that monitors vital signs is inside the body, and with current medical technology, it cannot be removed at all."

Chang Qingsheng patted his chest helplessly.

"Heh, I do have a method of breathing that can create the illusion of death, but unfortunately with your talent, you won't be able to learn it even in three years, let alone three!"

Elder Zong spoke the last three words very loudly, showing his deep contempt for Chang Qingsheng.

"We don't necessarily have to find a solution from Lao Chang."

Zhang Su pondered for a moment and said, "Elder Zong, go back to the Creation World and tamper with the equipment that detects vital signs. In the current environment, how stable can that thing be? Then tell the General that you are dead, is that not enough?"

? ?
Elder Zong and Chang Qingsheng exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a strange light.

"The testing department is loosely managed, which... seems to actually work? But, hmm."

Chang Qingsheng didn't finish speaking. Zhang Su's method was a bit risky, but it depended on who was given the task of carrying it out!
If it were just an ordinary member, it would be quite difficult, but if it were Elder Zong, it would be a piece of cake. However, it's already unprecedented for Elder Zong to stay and teach kung fu, so how could he possibly obey his orders to cause destruction in the world?

However, he was proven wrong the very next second.

"Brilliant! Young friend Zhang's plan is brilliant. All the problems are solved. This guy doesn't have to die, and I can still keep my promise. It's a win-win situation! Hahaha."

Old Master Zong thought to himself, "Young people are more quick-witted and know how to think in reverse."

"Elder Zong, you...you really agree to help me?"

Chang Qingsheng felt that everything in front of him was unreal and terrifying. This was not Elder Zong at all; it was too bizarre.

"What's it to you? This is a matter between me and my friend Zhang!"

Elder Zong looked at Chang Qingsheng with a strange gaze.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Elder Zong, thank you so much!" Chang Qingsheng didn't care about who was dealing with whom. As long as he didn't die and his wife's livelihood was guaranteed, that was enough!
"Alright, problem solved. Gentlemen, is there anything else you need to say? If not, arrange a place for Elder Zong to sleep. Once everyone is awake, Elder Zong's martial arts training hall will begin classes!"

Zhang Su looked at the two of them and they both indicated that there were no problems, thus ending the brief meeting.

Chang Qingsheng returned to Maple Leaf B&B with melancholy and sighs, lamenting the hardships he had encountered, while also being thankful that things hadn't gotten to the worst possible state.

Sometimes, there's no chance to salvage a failure, just like this time. From the moment he decided to send the helicopter to the aircraft carrier, everything was already predetermined.

Elder Zong was also arranged to stay at Maple Leaf B&B, firstly because it was luxurious enough, and secondly because it had enough rooms.

Tachibana Mai Sakura specifically sought out Zhang Su for this reason.

"I can barely keep Chang Qingsheng in check, at least I can hold him off. But that old man's strength is far above mine. If he wants to run, I have no way to stop him!"

Outside the Maple Leaf Inn, Zhang Su lowered his voice and said, "Elder Zong, you can rest assured, he won't run away or cause trouble, one hundred percent!"

Tachibana Mai looked at Zhang Su with a questioning gaze.

"Don't doubt it, just believe me. Go back to sleep, it's getting late!"

Zhang Su waved his hand, offered no explanation, and turned to walk towards Xiao Xingyun.

As Tachibana Mai watched Zhang Su disappear into the darkness, her brows furrowed slightly, lost in thought. She felt as if she had discovered some secret, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
