The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1211 The future is long, everything will be alright.
"I've met Old K on the aircraft carrier, but this is my first time meeting you. So, should I call you Black Bear, or are you going to use your own name again?"

Zhang Su looked at the black bear. Compared to ordinary people, he appeared tall and strong, but he was still two sizes smaller than the black bear from back then.

"Chief Zhang, just call me Black Bear. I've gotten used to this title. It represents the most important stage of my life and the period I miss the most."

The black bear spoke in a somber tone, his eyes revealing a longing for the past.

"Okay, Old K, what about you?"

Zhang Su respected Black Bear's choice and then asked Old K.

"My surname is Kong, and my given name is Lin, the Lin with the character for rain on top and the character for forest below. Chief Zhang can call me whatever he likes."

Kong Lin waved his hand dismissively.

Zhang Su suddenly realized, "Kong Lin, KL, LK, Old K, so that's where the name LK Camp came from! Just like the black bear, we'll still call you Old K from now on. What did you do before the disaster?"

“In the past…those who led construction teams would also handle earthwork and such.”

When talking about the past, Old K, like Black Bear, had a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Su raised an eyebrow: "Wow, local swords, guns, and cannons! Impressive, impressive..."

No matter where you are, if you can be a contractor and take on projects, and you're qualified to handle earthwork, then you're definitely a powerful person. You live in a large apartment and drive a Land Rover.

"No, no, that's all in the past. Let's not talk about past glories."

Old K waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly. He was indeed glorious in the past. After the disaster broke out, he used that ruthlessness to rebuild his original team, but in the end he still lost and fled to the Jiaozhou Peninsula.

"Alright, let's not dwell on the past. You two, tell me about what happened to you yesterday."

No matter how glorious the past was, it's gone forever; we must focus on the present.

While waiting for Zhang Su, Old K and Black Bear had roughly reviewed the situation and summarized some information, which Black Bear then recounted.

"Chief Zhang, the cause of this matter... truly was due to my stupidity and mismanagement!"

He immediately admitted his mistake, and then recounted in detail how he sent a message to the Laoshan camp, received the blessing, and then the elders' council member Qiao Nana betrayed him.

"No matter how much we planned, we never expected that Qiao Nana and her group had ulterior motives. Looking back now, it's clear that she started planning this not long after joining the Council of Elders!"

"Let me say something."

After Old K and Black Bear finished speaking, Old K raised his hand and said, "If we had all stayed on the Jiao Peninsula and survived this ordeal, Black Bear, you damn well have to compensate our LK camp. But now that we've all joined Chief Zhang, let's call it even!"

His words were not only addressed to Black Bear, but more importantly, they conveyed to Zhang Su that LK Camp was completely severing ties with the past.

Black Bear shook his head with a wry smile: "Even if you ask me for compensation, I would give it to you, but it's no use. We didn't have time to prepare. We fled in panic and didn't take anything with us. Unfortunately, a lot of supplies had already been packed and put in the warehouse, but they all ended up benefiting the Laoshan camp. Sigh!"

Making a wedding dress for someone else, and making it fit so perfectly. When the search team opened the warehouse, wow, it had already been organized. That's something else.

Zhang listened quietly to their story, carefully observing their emotional changes. He was fairly certain they weren't lying, but whether they had been deceived themselves remained to be verified. "Black Bear, you said Qiao Nana approached Fang Tianru through unethical means. Do you have any evidence?"

"Uh..." Black Bear hesitated for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly, "Qiao Nana is a middle-aged woman who still retains her charm. She must have some special experiences. She's quite capable in combat, and many people in the camp call her a shrew. She's very good at managing her subordinates, controls a lot of resources, and is better maintained than many young women."

To be honest, if it weren't for illegitimate means, I don't understand why Fang Tianru would listen to her, go back on his word, and attack us!

Zhang Su shook his head and said, "It's very simple. Because there is profit to be made, I don't think that the leader who can control such a large survivor camp as Laoshan Camp would be manipulated by a middle-aged woman who still has a charming appearance!"

"It's possible that the Laoshan camp had been eyeing you all along, just lacking an opportunity to launch an attack. When they learned you were leaving the Jiaozhou Peninsula, Fang Tianru felt the time was ripe. Whether Qiao Nana helped or not was completely irrelevant!"

Zhang Su paid close attention to the details between Qiao Nana and the Laoshan camp, as this would allow him to make a judgment about the leader of the Laoshan camp.

Old K nodded thoughtfully, agreeing, "Chief Zhang has a broader vision than us, and his judgment should be more reliable. Fang Tianru definitely has great ambitions and wants to take over the entire Jiaozhou Peninsula!"

Zhang Su couldn't help but laugh and cry when he thought of what the black bear had said before. He even went to send a message to the Laoshan camp saying that the Yancheng camp was being evacuated as a whole. Did he think people were black bears from Xiongshan?

The human heart is more complex and terrifying than a savage bear.

When Ma Changshou of Xidaying Village accepted the "invitation" from the Qinglong Corps, he dared not reveal a word of it until he was discovered while traveling at night!
Black Bear doesn't understand one principle: within a certain area, the stronger side often treats the weaker forces as "food reserves." If LK Camp and Yancheng Camp develop peacefully on Jiao Peninsula, they can wait until they are strong enough to kill each other. But they can't leave now!

This shows that Black Bear is not suitable for managing a camp. Fortunately, the Smoke City camp has a so-called council of elders to keep things in check. If he had been in complete control, the camp would probably have collapsed long ago!

"Maybe so, I don't know..."

The black bear had clearly lost its ability to judge and didn't quite agree with Old K's words, but it was powerless to refute them, so it chose to give up thinking.

"Now that things have come to this, let's look at something useful. Minister Yu will evaluate the supplies you brought, which will affect subsequent resource allocation and labor distribution. Black Bear, you need to be mentally prepared for this!"

Don't worry, they'll have enough to eat, wear, and a place to live—that's their basic guarantee, so they won't be affected. But the brothers you bring along will need to be more diligent in their work and labor."

Black Bear nodded repeatedly and said, "I know, I know, Chief Zhang. I have already informed the brothers about these matters in advance. I am particularly ashamed, and so is Xiao Lu. He feels that he has messed up this matter and is very remorseful."

"Feeling guilty and blaming yourself is enough. Don't start your new life with a psychological burden. The future is long, and things will get better!"

Zhang Su comforted Black Bear, saying that the guy still remembered to say a good word for Lu Quanli, showing that he was a man of loyalty, which was a major taboo for those in high positions of power...

“Old K, you also need to talk to your men. If they’re doing well, they can keep it to themselves. But if they dare to take the opportunity to bully the people in the Yancheng camp, I won’t allow it.”

"No!" Old K raised his hand and said solemnly, "Absolutely not, Chief Zhang. I'll stake my head on it. If that happens, you can come and take it back! Besides, from now on, there will be no more LK camps. They will all be incorporated into Tianma Island and placed under Chief Zhang's management!"

Black Bear, hearing Old K's statement expressing his stance, immediately followed up, saying, "Chief Zhang, the Yancheng camp has joined Tianma Island and will be a part of Tianma Island from now on. Its development and construction are only natural."

"Enough with the fancy words, integration takes time! I almost forgot to tell you, just a few days ago, survivors from two camps came over from the Liao Peninsula. Old K, you definitely know them, it's Wild Dog Camp and the Fellowship!"

Zhang Su did not hide the current situation of the camp. He did not expect that the struggle for an aircraft carrier would eventually lead to the great integration of the survivors of the entire Qinhai Bay.
