The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1218 is not an isolated case, but a harbinger.
"Hey, my back and waist are aching. I haven't felt like this in ages. I'll take a nice hot bath when I get home!"

"To be honest, I feel the same way. I feel weak and sore all over. This Tai Chi palm technique is still too authoritative."

"After two days of training, regardless of how many moves we've mastered, we're definitely stronger now."

The members of the Yama Legion felt this deeply. As they packed their things, they discussed it. The Elder looked down on them for their mediocre talents, but they themselves were enjoying themselves.

"Brother Su, the shells have arrived. Shall we fire one? The first shot fired by the leader at Qincheng Naval Port is such a good omen, haha."

Wu Baokang pointed with great interest at the self-propelled howitzers that had been positioned.

"Even if we're going to release it, we should wait until the port officially opens and all the major legions are present. Why release it now? Let's go home. The camp is waiting for us to participate in the welcome ceremony for the members of the Jiao Peninsula."

Zhang Su waved his hand, rejecting Wu Baokang's formalism. Communication between the port and Tianma Island was smooth. Yu Wen had informed him beforehand that the welcoming ceremony was ready and they were just waiting for the important figures to arrive.

Two people were left to guard the port, while everyone else headed back to Tianma Island.

Each welcome banquet signifies population growth, and Zhang Su and other members of the Yama Legion attend every single one, but the other participants change each time.

Village No. 2 has become the designated venue for such banquets, and even camp members who are not eligible to attend can feel a sense of joy and peace.

Population growth can benefit the entire camp. The increasingly sophisticated social structure is striving to develop back to its former state. Both internal construction and external defense require human resources.

For the past decade or so, people have complained about having too many people; now, it's finally the point where people are worried about having too few...

The welcome dinner lasted for more than an hour, finally ending around 8 p.m., which meant that Yancheng Camp and LK Camp had become history and would henceforth be part of Tianma Island.

"Chief Zhang."

“Brother Su…”

Zhang Su and his group walked out of the village, preparing to return to the mountain, when they suddenly heard people calling from two directions behind them. Turning around, they saw Zhao Kongkong, who had an air of otherworldly wisdom, and Zhang Xin, the fruit vendor.

"Ah."

Elder Zong was very unfriendly to Zhao Kongkong because Zhao Kongkong's attire was more elegant and stylish than his own. He sneered and whispered to Zhang Su, "Young friend Zhang, I'll be going first."

Zhang Su nodded, then waved to his brothers and said, "You guys go back first."

"Come on, come this way."

It was clear that the two men hadn't just come over to say hello; they definitely had something to discuss. Zhang Su led them to a quiet spot, took out his cigarette case, and asked, "Who wants to speak first?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry. Let the master chef speak first. Come on, Brother Su."

Zhang Xin eagerly lit a fire for Zhang Su.

"Thank you. I will obey your command."

Zhao Kongkong looked preoccupied. He respectfully clasped his hands in thanks to Zhang Xin, then said to Zhang Su, "Chief Zhang, I have a request, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Master Zhao, there's no need to be so polite. Just tell me what's on your mind."

Zhang Su had no prejudice or dissatisfaction with Zhao Kongkong. From a normal person's perspective, he thought Zhao Kongkong was a good person, a kind and righteous person.

"Oh dear, I suddenly need to pee, I'm going to pee."

Zhang Xin was a shrewd man. Upon hearing Zhao Kongkong's unreasonable request, he quickly made his escape to avoid overhearing anything he shouldn't have...

“This guy.” Zhang Su naturally knew what Zhang Xin was thinking. After he ran away, he said to Zhao Kongkong, “Master Zhao, you can say it now.”

Zhao Kongkong looked worried. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I have a close friend who is much older than me but couldn't come to Qincheng. He's probably in trouble. I want to go back to Yancheng to find him!"

"Zhou Qingfeng from the Council of Elders?"

Zhang Su had already learned these details from the black bear, so he didn't waste any time and asked directly.

Zhao Kongkong nodded and said, "Yes, Qingfeng and I hit it off immediately. It's rare to find a true friend in life. Now that he's in danger, I can't just stand by and do nothing."

Zhang Su nodded slowly. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Kuang Miao. That young man had accompanied Song Yijun to leave the survival team for the sake of friendship. It turns out that it's not only young people who are loyal; the elderly can also be very sentimental sometimes!
"Master Zhao, you really are... coming and going in such a hurry! You didn't even have time to teach us a single move before you left?"

Zhao Kongkong sighed and waved his sleeve: "Alas, Chief Zhang, who would have thought that my brother Qingfeng would not be able to escape with everyone. If I don't go on this trip, it will become a demon in my heart that I can never get rid of for the rest of my life. I really can't eat or sleep."

Logically, Zhao Kongkong could leave whenever he wanted. Since he had come to him and said so much, he must have something to ask for. Zhang Su asked directly, "Master Zhao is a man of integrity and loyalty, and he does things with a clear conscience. I admire your behavior. Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Kongkong rubbed his hands together awkwardly, a gesture that was completely out of character for him. Finally, he said with an embarrassed smile, "Chief Zhang, I want to ask for medicine."

"Requesting medicine? Oh, you mean medicine for the wounded?"

Zhang Su immediately understood that Zhao Kongkong was taking precautions and making contingency plans.

Zhao Kongkong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I would like to ask for a few doses of that life-saving elixir, but I don't know if it's convenient. If you're really in a hurry, even one dose would be fine."

Yesterday, seeing how generous the Yama Legion was, distributing large sums of medicine to the wounded, Zhao Kongkong couldn't believe that the spiritual medicine was so plentiful.

Zhang Su patted his pocket and took out the thalamus he always carried with him: "Divide it into equal sizes, enough for at least five people. Master Zhao, how are you getting there?"

Zhao Kongkong accepted the "miracle medicine" with great care, then looked troubled and said, "The land route is far, a full 1,500 li. My idea is to go by water, but..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clear: the waterway was also six hundred miles long, and he wasn't a true sword immortal, so he couldn't fly on a sword!

Zhang Su was a shrewd man. He nodded and said, "I can give you a yacht, but there will be no driver. You'll have to drive it yourself!"

If you don't have a boat, I'll give you one, but don't expect any help.

In Zhang Su's view, Zhao Kongkong's trip was basically a one-way trip. It wasn't that he would start anew after finding someone, but that the road ahead was fraught with danger. He was afraid that not only would he not find Zhou Qingfeng, but he would also lose his old body.

Even if Zhou Qingfeng is found, it's hard to say what will happen next.

Zhao Kongkong took a deep breath, knowing that the other party's help was already invaluable, and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your generous assistance, Chief Zhang. I will set off tonight. As for the yacht..."

"I'll just let them know at the port. By the way, does Black Bear know that you're going to see Zhou Qingfeng?"

Zhang Su inquired in detail, worried that Zhao Kongkong might secretly bring the people from the Yancheng camp back.

Zhao Kongkong shook his head: "I only told Chief Zhang about this. I don't intend to disturb their peace. This is my own private matter."

"It's not a personal matter. Zhou Qingfeng was an important figure in the original Yancheng camp. Master Zhao is a man of great loyalty and integrity. I only hope you can find Zhou Qingfeng and bring them back. Master Zhao, you can drive, right?"

"I will, I will."

Zhao Kongkong quickly responded that he was not out of touch with the times and had mastered all these basic skills.

Zhang Su nodded: "Okay, you go wait for me over there, we'll go up the mountain together in a bit and drive to the port."

"Thank you very much."

Zhao Kongkong thanked him repeatedly, took a few steps back, then turned around and walked towards the village entrance, knowing that Zhang Su still had to talk to the other person.

"Brother Su."

Zhang Xin didn't need to relieve himself, but he ran a few dozen meters away to avoid suspicion. Seeing that Zhao Kongkong had left, he immediately ran over.

"Didn't clear out the zombies today?"

Zhang Su cut to the chase and asked the question.

"Brother Su is too shrewd. He knew what I was going to say before I even said it. Hehe, things didn't go wrong, but we discovered a problem!"

Zhang Xin gave a compliment, then told Zhang Su about his discoveries and experiences that day.

“Some brothers think that the zombie was an isolated case, but I think it should be taken seriously.”

After listening, Zhang Su nodded and said, "You're right. There are no isolated cases; this is a harbinger. Here's what I'll say: tomorrow, you should double the manpower to ensure safety and speed up the cleanup as much as possible!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. That's all, Su-ge, you should get some rest."

Zhang Xin finished speaking, waved his hand, and left without lingering.

Zhang Su turned and walked towards Zhao Kongkong, taking out a walkie-talkie to explain the situation to Wu Daqiang, Yang Liehuo, and other legion leaders, asking them to cooperate with Zhang Xin in troop deployment.

Zhao Kongkong sensed something amiss from Zhang Su's few words; the zombies seemed to be undergoing unusual changes, which made him increasingly nervous, wishing he could sprout wings and fly back to the Jiaozhou Peninsula.
