The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1215 I need a thousand men!

As Zhang Su slowly drifted off to sleep, the ship of the Third Regiment of the Laoshan Camp returned to Yancheng Port.

Unlike Tianma Island, Yancheng Camp is closer to the port and was developed a long time ago. However, it was not developed into a military port like Qincheng Port, but was only used as a station to observe Qinhai Bay.

As the cargo ship docked, the members disembarked one after another, assembled, and waited for instructions from the team leader.

"Ah, I'm so sleepy. It's not comfortable to sleep on the boat."

The three group leaders took a short rest during the return voyage. They disembarked in a daze and looked around. There were a few lights nearby, but it was pitch black in the distance. The cold night made them feel uneasy.

"Gentlemen, why don't we find a place to rest at the Yancheng camp and return to Qing City to report the news at seven o'clock?"

The commander pointed to the Yancheng camp not far away. After the daytime inventory, all the supplies had been stored away. The Yancheng camp was now deserted, with only a few people from the Laoshan camp on duty. There were sparse lights in the distance.

"Why don't you tell me now why you didn't bring back anyone else besides your third regiment!"

The regimental commander did not receive any comments from the two deputy regimental commanders. Instead, a hoarse voice came from the direction of the transit warehouse, carrying an undeniable authority.

Rustling sounds.

The members of the three groups, who were originally lazy and not in formation, immediately woke up after hearing the voice, consciously lined up, stood up straight, and were full of energy.

A bright yellow mask emerged from the darkness. The pressure from Gu Zhi'e was so great that several leaders in the group took a half step back in unison.

"leader!"

The three of them bowed in unison, cold sweat instantly pouring down their foreheads.

The group members didn't make a loud noise; they just stood quietly.

"answer my question!"

Fang Tianru waved to the members of the Third Regiment, which was similar to shouting "At ease," and walked straight to the leader of the Third Regiment. His inverted triangle figure had a strong sense of oppression.

"Reporting to the chief, because of our departure—no, because of the ship's weak power—LK's cargo ship was unable to enter the range of the howitzer. When it was less than twenty nautical miles from Qincheng Port, we chose to retreat—oh no, we chose to return to port."

When the commander of the Third Regiment spoke to Fang Tianru, he had to be very careful with his words.

We can't say they set off late, because that would make it seem like we're blaming Fang Tianru for giving the order at the wrong time. Nor can we say they retreated, because that would damage the reputation of the Laoshan camp.

"Is there a defense at Qincheng Port?"

Fang Tianru grasped the key point, his eyes behind the mask gleaming as he stared intently at the commander of the Third Regiment.

"Yes!"

The commander of the Third Regiment answered decisively, puffing out his chest and saying, "Based on our observations, the American aircraft carrier is docked outside Qincheng Port, with at least twenty carrier-based aircraft on board. We dare not attack rashly!"

The information provided was very conservative.

"No wonder Kong Lin and Black Bear led their men to Qincheng; it turns out they seized the aircraft carrier!"

As Fang Tianru spoke, he took out a spray bottle from his pocket, hissed it twice into his mouth, and then sniffed. Although he was wearing a mask, he gave off a feeling of enjoyment. He then continued.

"In that case, Qincheng Port is indeed not easy to attack by force. Your choice was correct!"

Upon hearing Fang Tianru's words, the three regimental commanders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, before they could even relax, Fang Tianru's next words left them speechless with despair.

"Rest for a day, then set off at this time tomorrow to make contact with the forces in Qin City. I need a thousand survivors, regardless of age or gender, and see what conditions they offer!"

Fang Tianru raised a finger, saying that the development of the Jiaozhou Peninsula is inseparable from its population, which is a resource he values ​​highly.

The commander of the Third Regiment dared not refuse, and could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, leader, but... if there are a thousand men, we need more brothers to maintain order, otherwise we're afraid they'll riot on the ship!"

? ?
A bright yellow mask was immediately pasted onto the face of the Third Regiment Commander, whose eyes behind the mask were filled with doubt.

"You mean, as long as you go there, you can bring me back a thousand people, is that right?"

"No, it's not..."

The regimental commander said nervously, "We should talk first, and then proceed with the exchange. I'm sorry, it was my oversight!"

He wasn't fully awake to begin with, and then he was suddenly startled, causing his thinking ability to plummet. "Don't be so tense, use your brain! The pursuit mission was a complete success. Go back and collect your deserved rewards. Get some rest today!"

Fang Tianru patted the three of them on the shoulder, turned and left, with the handsome young man beside him following closely behind.

"Take care, leader."

The three regimental commanders respectfully saw Fang Tianru off, and couldn't help but think to themselves: That's really scary.

"Yes, I'll take your families to Mirror Lake Manor for a temporary stay so you don't have to worry about business while I'm out here!"

After saying that, Fang Tianru got into the car amidst the astonished gazes of the three men, and with a roar, drove away from the port.

Once the other car's headlights disappeared, the three leaders looked at each other in bewilderment, while the ordinary members exchanged glances with inscrutable expressions.

They suddenly realized that being an ordinary soldier wasn't so bad after all...

"No... why are you putting my wife under house arrest?"

The fat regimental commander rubbed his large belly with a contorted expression.

"nonsense!"

The regimental commander glared at the fat deputy regimental commander. There were so many ordinary members around. If some of what they said reached Fang Tianru's ears, they would be in trouble.

"Didn't the leader say that it's to prevent us from being distracted while we're out doing business? What do you mean by house arrest? It's just a form of care!"

The strong and capable deputy regimental commander had a serious look in his eyes and spoke cautiously. It wasn't that he wasn't doing his job diligently; he was clearly afraid they would run away...

The commander of the Third Regiment frowned, clearly also feeling quite uncomfortable from Fang Tianru's final move.

"This is ridiculous. We're military officers, how... how are we acting as diplomats?"

"Since things have come to this, let's not talk about useless things. I do have a solution..."

The strong deputy regimental commander glanced around, pulled the other two aside, and said in a low voice, "When we get to Qincheng Port, don't dock our ship yet. Send your men to sound out the situation first!"
If Qin Cheng's attitude is good, we'll go and negotiate in person. If their attitude is bad, we'll just pin the blame on Qin Cheng's group and let the leader deal with it. Isn't that enough?

"You shouldn't be doing this."

The commander of the Third Regiment said it was inappropriate, but his face showed an expression that said, "That's how it should be."

The ordinary members watched the three leaders discussing in the distance, unaware that they had been tricked. Just a moment ago they were relieved because of the light workload, but now they might become the ones to be sacrificed.

……

……

The atmosphere inside the Tianma Island restaurant was normal in the early morning, and you couldn't tell that the camp's population had exceeded eight thousand, because there was only one more member on the mountain.

"Brother Su, I've arranged for Song Yijun to go to Black Fang's village!"

Chen Hanzhou specifically sought out Zhang Su to report on yesterday's events.

"Good morning, Brother Su."

Kuang Miao followed beside Chen Hanzhou, bowing respectfully to Zhang Su.

After a night's rest, my mental state has changed dramatically, mainly thanks to the thalamus's repair of the injury.

"Those guys under Black Fang look crazy, but they're incredibly hardworking. It would be great to have Song Yijun train under them. Let's go eat."

Zhang Su agreed with Chen Hanzhou's decision. Logically, they had finished talking, but he found that the two of them had no intention of leaving.

"Anything else?"

"Well, there's something I want to say."

"Come, sit down."

Zhang Su gestured for the two to sit down.
