The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1189 We are the cream of the crop
"that……"

After Zhang Su finished assigning tasks, Chang Qingsheng hesitantly raised his hand and asked, "Brother Su, can the trainees participate in the training?"

His current position is awkward. He is a trainee member of the Yama Legion, but a formal member of the Invention and Creation Department. If it were in order of seniority, he should stay in the camp to be responsible for advancing the climate transformation plan.

"You don't need to go! You've practiced for so long, have you figured it out yet?"

Zhang Su didn't speak. Elder Zong looked at Chang Qingsheng with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, just like a homeroom teacher looks at the student who is last in the class.

“I am not…”

Chang Qingsheng instantly turned red. He was a top-five expert in the restaurant, yet he was mercilessly slapped on the ground. Couldn't he at least show some respect?

Fortunately, the members of the Yama Legion were self-aware and did not follow the elder's lead. At times like these, the best thing to do is to keep quiet.

"cough……"

Zhang Su was taken aback. Due to the [Loyalty Mark], Elder Zong was extremely polite to him, but he still treated everyone else the same way, which was both interesting and frustrating.

“I think what Elder Zong said makes some sense. Lao Chang, why don’t you stay and help Xiao Zhou? You’ll have a better future in a field you’re more familiar with.”

"Yes, yes, Brother Chang, we need your help!"

Zhou Haotian quickly chimed in.

“One day, Brother Su, give me one day. If I really can’t learn it, starting tomorrow I will focus on climate reform and not say a word. Give me a chance.”

Chang Qingsheng was unwilling to accept this. He was a strongman and the Minister of War. Was he really being treated like an inventor?

"Why are you so stubborn..."

"Okay!"

Zhang Su interrupted Elder Zong and nodded to Chang Qingsheng, saying, "You'll be with us today. Well, Xiao Zhou, one more day won't make a difference. You make a plan first. It'll take at least a day or three days. When Lao Chang comes back, we'll discuss it together."

With the leader's approval, the matter was settled, and neither side had any objections.

"Oh, right, Sakura, bring Yu Ziyan along too. Where's Lao Duan? Lao Duan isn't here. Xiao Zhou, tell Duan Wuhu to meet us at the parking lot later!"

Zhang Su suddenly remembered that both Elder Zong and Ju Wuying had repeatedly emphasized the issue of age. Now there was indeed a young girl on the mountain who met the requirements. He wanted to see if it would be effective.

Ju Wuying's eyes flashed, and she nodded without hesitation. She would not stop Yu Ziyan from learning other kung fu just because she became her disciple. Things were different now, and she should learn as much as she could!

After Zhang Su finished speaking, Yu Wen asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you think there are any other people in the other legions who are worth promoting?"

"That's right!" Zhang Su exclaimed in realization. "Now that Lao Yu asked, I remember someone—Hong Lao Si! Let's notify him again and call him along too!"

The Hong family's staff technique wasn't from any prestigious school, but Hong Laosi was labeled as a "late bloomer," and Zhang Su wanted to see what was going on.

The crowd had various expressions; they all assumed that Zhang Su was going to call Zhao Kongkong, who had come from the Yancheng camp.

After breakfast, the campsite truly came alive, with cars driving down the mountain one after another, splitting into groups and each busy with their own tasks.

Improving the overall strength of the Yama Legion is of paramount importance. With the Land Cruiser FJ leading the way, all personnel headed to Qincheng Port to learn martial arts while also enjoying the glowing sphere – a win-win situation! "Hey! It's been a long time since I've ridden in a car; this feels pretty strange."

Sitting in the passenger seat of the Land Cruiser, Elder Zong shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his sword awkwardly positioned against him.

"You've traveled all the way from Yong County, traversing mountains and rivers. Don't you feel tired?"

Zhang Su was very puzzled by this. The straight-line distance was nearly 300 kilometers, and the environment was harsh. To travel such a long distance by walking was really something else.

Elder Zong found a relatively comfortable position to lean back in, waved his hand and said, "I'm taking it easy, wandering around and looking at things. This old man doesn't feel tired at all."

Modern transportation is much more troublesome. Not only is it noisy, but you also have to find your way around, and it wouldn't be good if the authorities spotted you.

"Grandpa, you're so powerful, what can the righteous sects do to you?"

Zheng Xinyu sat in the back row and took the opportunity to praise the other person while asking Zhang Su a question that interested her.

Elder Zong turned to look at Zheng Xinyu and chuckled, "Hey, little girl, you have a sweet tongue. Of course, I'm not afraid of the Righteous Path Society, but if we're discovered, some misunderstandings are inevitable!"
This is a matter between the Creator and the Righteous Path Society; we should try to avoid getting involved in cause and effect.

Zhang Su didn't understand the answer and asked directly, "I remember a prisoner said that the general had planned to incorporate the Righteous Path Society, but there was great resistance, and in the end, the plan was abandoned because of the problem with the protective electric grid. Why didn't you go to solve the problem? You should have a way, right?"

“Young friend Zhang, you are mistaken. My relationship with Genesis is not one of employment or dependence. I am not willing to do such a thing, as it would not benefit me at all!”
Actually, I don't have any grand ambitions; I just want a quiet place to enjoy my old age! The Righteous Path Society's presence in Tang City isn't just for show. The protective electric fence is merely the visible strength they've displayed; who knows what they're up to in the shadows!

Old Master Zong shook his head, then changed the subject: "Who would have thought that Tianma Island was actually a den of dragons and tigers? Haha, the old man was lucky to have fallen in Qincheng!"

"Then why did you agree to let Weng Tongrui deal with Chang Qingsheng?"

Zhang Su asked, puzzled.

Elder Zong sighed in frustration and said, "Before I came here, I thought we were just going to pick them up and then dispose of them quietly. I never expected it would cause such a lot of trouble. If I had known it would be like this... hey, so this is the huge horde of corpses you were talking about, right?"

As they were talking, the vehicle passed by the Chuhai River, and Elder Zong immediately noticed a large, dark patch of land in the wilderness beside the road.

"On the way here, I saw more than a dozen groups of corpses of various sizes. Some were trapped by humans, while others were trapped by the natural terrain. There were quite a few of them!"

Zhang Su looked southwest, his heart sinking slightly. He said, "The trapped zombies are all potential threats and should be eliminated as soon as possible. Chang Qingsheng told me that Genesis can detect a data point called the Enhancement Index, and every rainfall escalates the danger!"

"The workload is too great. Millions of zombies are scattered in mountain valleys, canyons and other places. There are special zombies that cannot be solved by burning. They can only be cleared out little by little, which requires a lot of manpower and resources."

Elder Zong agreed with Zhang Su's view.

The topic shifted smoothly, and neither of them mentioned the past anymore. What kind of personality Elder Zong had before, or what kind of treatment he received in Genesis, was no longer important. What mattered was the future.

Zheng Xinyu leaned on the center armrest and sighed, "Sigh, if only there were more capable humans like the two of you, it would be so much easier to solve the zombie crisis."

"Haha, little girl, your husband and I are both outstanding individuals. How could we possibly be more than that? Countless people would spend their entire lives and still not reach even a single toe of our height!"

Although Elder Zong's attitude was very amiable, his arrogance was ingrained in his bones. He had seen many geniuses, but in the end they all called him a prodigy, while countless ordinary people were like fleeting clouds in his eyes!
"The disparity in proportions is too great, and the zombies are now inexplicably affected, so we have to be extra careful when cleaning them up. This may be an integral part of our lives for a long time to come, so we'll get used to it!"

Zhang Su felt he could already see the future: clearing out the remaining zombies in the area would become a routine task.
