The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1194 Everyone's Busy (Dear readers, please vote with your monthly tickets at the end of the month!)
"Three months ago! Has it been that long already? Never mind... When things calmed down is no longer important, what's important is why things recovered."

Zhang Su leaned over the railing, watching the low waves crashing against the cargo ship ahead, making a splashing sound, as if the entire sea was bursting with new life.

"Could it be... Brother Su, are the people from the Jiaozhou Peninsula coming soon? A large group of ships are sailing on the sea, pushing and shoving, is that what it means? Haha, I don't know, I'm just talking nonsense."

Lu Yubo only puts away his sinister nature and reverts to his energetic self in front of Zhang Su.

"Is that how you explain 'fueling the flames'?"

Zhang Su's forehead was covered in black lines; this was probably the worst time he had ever been criticized for stirring up trouble.

"Truly utter nonsense..."

Elder Zong couldn't help but shake his head. If a few ships could create waves, that would be outrageous.

"I remember hearing those little kids doing research at Genesis say that some alien creations fell into some ocean, and that the abnormal changes on Earth were caused by alien technology. They didn't know if it was continuing to deteriorate or slowly being repaired."

"We can't study the changes in the Earth right now, but I think it's a good thing that it can slowly recover. Bo-zai, go have some fun."

After seeing Lu Yubo off, Zhang Su continued to inquire about some outside matters with Elder Zong, and before he knew it, it was time for dinner.

The port of Qincheng was peaceful. Members of the Yama Legion were feasting on the aircraft carrier, eating meat to replenish their energy from the morning.

At the entrance of the armory next to Taolin Reservoir, a series of roars echoed across half the sky as tanks were towed out of the armory.

With drivers, steers, and directing from the sidelines, the whole scene was bustling with activity. After nearly a morning, they finally managed to bring the last batch of important military equipment out of the mountains.

Meng Changwei was never idle. Not only did he serve as the commander-in-chief, but he was also responsible for the safety of the entire mission. He had to carefully inspect every tow rope and every hook to ensure that no accidents would occur during the mission!
This was his first time leading a team on a field mission since arriving at Tianma Island, and it was such an important task that one can imagine how nervous he was.

Not only legion members participated in this field mission, but also laborers from the miscellaneous work group. Everyone was giving it their all, their hearts burning with excitement as they looked at the steel behemoths. These would become the camp's armed force, protecting the peace of the area.

"Numbers one through ten, follow the previously planned route, turn south at Niujuanzi Town, but don't go off the Haihe Bridge, detour via the North Ring Road to Qincheng Port. Old Sun knows the way, follow his car!"
The remaining vehicles returned to Tianma Island. Everyone, listen up, let's go...

At a command, the vehicles started up one after another. Twenty-two armored vehicles were towed by more than fifty vehicles of various types. The headlights flashed, illuminating the surrounding area, and the rumbling sound spread for several kilometers!

The convoy was too conspicuous to be feared, but the loud noise eventually attracted some zombies in the village. Under tight security, the convoy was not affected.

The convoy of towing vehicles rumbled along, and the clearing of zombies along the Chuhai River was in full swing.

Fruit vendor Zhang Xin felt the same way as Meng Changwei, perhaps even more nervous. Towing a tank might at most cause it to tip over into a ditch, but it wouldn't necessarily kill anyone. However, for him, this was a job where he was risking his life!
He had never felt so much pressure in his entire life. He watched intently from the sidelines the whole time, and corrected anything that seemed amiss immediately.

The leader allocated death slots, but he set even higher standards for himself!
Even if it's a little slower, even if we have to work overtime, we must ensure that not a single brother we train is missing!

This slogan was shouted when they gathered in Xidaying Village. All the combat personnel involved in clearing out the zombies fully agreed that it was a difficult task, but it also had a rich reward. They had to be extremely serious and hardworking. They not only had to earn the supplies, but they also had to be alive to enjoy them!

Not to mention the rumbling convoys towing armored vehicles, even supply trucks slowed down and turned off their lights when passing the Chuhai River, so as not to affect the brothers who were clearing out zombies.

Lu Dahuzi, who couldn't drive with one hand, sat in the passenger seat next to Wang Longzhong. Watching his companions carefully dealing with the horde of zombies in the distance, he said with emotion, "Brother Wang, I'm truly grateful to you for helping me out. Not only did you find me a job, but it was such a safe one. I don't want any of the mission rewards; you can have it all!"

Moving supplies is an excellent field task—easy and safe. Hiding anything will get you punished, but eating a couple of bites on the spot will be fine...

"What nonsense are you spouting? We fought side by side, got bitten, lost our hands in the same hospital room, and survived life-or-death situations together. The main reason we're here is because you're a good person. We hope you can recover someday so we can fight side by side again. Who cares about your meager reward!"

Wang Longzhong shook his head as he spoke. Lu Dahuzi chuckled and waved his half-severed left arm, saying, "I dare not hope for a miracle cure that can regenerate limbs. I'd be content if I could just find a job that could be useful. Brother Wang, I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of being disliked, afraid of becoming a useless person who's a burden to you all!"

No one knew that Lu Da Hu Zi had made a plan in his heart: to wait for the right opportunity, for a battle, to erupt in a spectacular fashion, to die with his back straight, and never to stay in the camp to live a wretched life.

"I understand. That's why I pleaded with the leader on your behalf. Work hard, and the leader will see it. But you also need to understand that the leader has it tough. The quantity of spiritual herbs is too small. You really have to fight for them yourself!"

"Okay, I understand."

Lu Da Hu Zi pounded his chest with his fist, speaking solemnly.

The field teams were all busy, including Wu Lue and Shen Linrui, who were setting up communication equipment.

"If we can remove the electromagnetic array, we won't need to go through such a long detour, and we can set up two fewer points... Shuifang Village? Let's do it here."

Wu roughly calculated the distance and drove to a dilapidated village, parking his car at the village archway.

To achieve seamless communication between Tianma Island and Qincheng Port, at least four to five repeater stations are needed, given the current equipment and environment.

If there is no interference from the electromagnetic array, two or three are enough.

"The electromagnetic array can't be removed. If hundreds of thousands of zombies go berserk, our Satellite Village will be in big trouble. We'll all have to squeeze onto the mountain to live, haha."

Shen Linrui jumped out of the car and looked around in the headlights.

"When can we go back to the old Wutong? I really miss it."

Wu Lue put his hands on his hips and expressed his feelings.

The "five connections" he mentioned refer to are electricity, water, gas, communications, and transportation, which are standard features in urban residential community construction.

"Achieving the five connections within the camp isn't difficult, but restoring the city is an impossible task, and more importantly, there's no need for it. Look at how many people are left..."

The survivors of the entire Qin City could not gather as many people as there used to be in just one neighborhood.

While chatting, Shen Linrui turned on his flashlight and scanned the buildings, spotting a three-story house. "That one, it's either the village chief's house or a wealthy local family's house. It's the best one I can find, what do you think?"

"Hey, this place is so close to the mountain and sea area, and there's still a complete three-story building that's been preserved. It must have been built by a rich person in the village. It's sturdy! That's the one."

Shuifang Village is close to the mountain and sea area. Affected by the shock wave of the explosion, it is full of ruins and is in a much worse condition than Tianmayu Satellite Village.

Wu Lue picked up the communications repeater, looked around at the desolate and dilapidated village, and subconsciously shivered. He said, "Many houses have collapsed, so... Brother Shen, do you think the zombies have all left the village?"

Shen Linrui checked his personal weapons. He was responsible not only for certain technical issues but also for ensuring safety. After hearing Wu Lue's words, his expression became solemn.

"It's hard to say. Hopefully, we'll have the same good luck as yesterday. It's a pity that the Fire and Earth elements aren't here. In the past, whenever we had any trouble, we would always ask him to do a divination."

"It's better to test the waters with a stone than to consult a fortune teller, so I'm going to throw it."

Wu Lue bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, a basic procedure they followed when entering the village.
