The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1230 I want it all
"Commander Chi, you and your men have come a long way with so many brothers. I know you are just following orders, so I won't make things difficult for you. We are separated by Qinhai Bay, so there's no need to compete with each other."

To tell you the truth, Commander-in-Chief is just one of my positions. I am also the leader of Tianma Island, so I have every right to make decisions!

A smile played on Zhang Su's lips, and the expressions of the three people opposite him instantly changed...

Words are a stumbling block. When the other party's true identity is revealed, it's as if their figure grows taller and more imposing, and a sense of oppression instantly overwhelms you!
"This, I..."

"Hey, watch out."

Chi Chengjiang couldn't help but take a step back, stepping on Tao Qinkang's instep.

"Don't be surprised, I have something even more surprising to tell you!" Zhang Su waved his hand, then looked at the members of the Laoshan Camp Third Regiment standing on the cargo ship's deck.

"It's too low here, I have to crane my neck to talk, it's really inconvenient!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Su used his legs to pull himself up from the ground. White mist floated beneath his feet, and a block of ice appeared out of thin air. He climbed onto the cargo ship's deck in a fantastical way, as if walking on an invisible staircase!
Zheng Xinyu and the others remained calm. They knew exactly what Zhang Su was planning: to use his muscles to absorb survivors.

They remained calm, but the people on the other side looked as if they had seen a ghost.

???

Did you eat poisonous mushrooms?
Chi Chengjiang and the other two stared at the scene before them in disbelief.

"Fei, this, the Flying Man, I wasn't mistaken that day, it's him!"

Xu Nianrui's lips trembled as he pointed at Zhang Su, who was climbing upwards.

Chi Chengjiang and the fat Tao Qinkang kept their lips tightly closed. Today's trip has really broadened their horizons. Having lived on the Jiaozhou Peninsula for a long time, Fang Tianru was already a top expert in their eyes, but they never expected that the outside world had developed into this way!
"He, Zhang, he wants to..."

"Don't worry, our leader is very kind and won't hurt anyone. Don't worry, don't worry." Zheng Xinyu waved her hands repeatedly, trying her best to put on a friendly smile.

This is a natural advantage for women; a smile can have a very good calming effect. If it were Zhao Dezhu smiling, the effect wouldn't be as good.

"Wow, can this person fly?"

"My God, how did he get up there? It's so high."

What do you want to do?

The members of the Third Regiment, who were waiting on the boat, were also surprised to see such a shocking scene. They all retreated away from the railing and remained vigilant towards the people standing on the boat.

"Friends, don't be nervous! Your Commander Chi is right. We are not enemies, and I will not hurt you."

Zhang Su landed steadily on the deck, strolled calmly in front of everyone, and casually took off his sunglasses, his emotions beginning to surge.

Then, he pointed to Chi Chengjiang, the commander of the Third Regiment, on the dock: "Your commander said that the leader of the Laoshan camp wants to ask me for 1,500 survivors, but now everyone is short of people, Qing City is short of people, and Qincheng is short of people too!"

I came aboard the ship to tell everyone that if anyone feels they've had enough of Qing City and would like to experience the local customs of Qin City, they are welcome to stay. As the chief of Tianma Island, I assure you that you will have no worries about food and clothing, and will be well-fed, warmly clothed, and well-dressed!

Zhang Su's voice on the boat was not quiet, and the three men standing on the dock, including Chi Chengjiang, all turned green with envy. This was simply outrageous!

"Chief of Tianma Island, this is not right! Oh dear!"

Chi Chengjiang's face showed utter helplessness, and his heart was filled with absurdity and frustration.

Fang Tianru told them to take their men back to Qing City, lest they fail to bring the men back and a few of his own men run away, making a huge fool of themselves!

several?

If Zhang Su knew what Chi Chengjiang was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud. What good are a few people? If others knew, they would think that Tianma Island couldn't accommodate any more survivors! He wants them all!

"Hey, brother, what's wrong with that? There's no place where people can't be buried. You can stay too. Chief Zhang will definitely not treat you badly!"

Seeing that Chi Chengjiang was anxious, Wang Xin quickly stepped forward to advise him.

The waves crashed against the seawall, their crashing sound disturbing the peace of mind. The unfolding events left the regimental commander and his two adjutants utterly bewildered!
On the way here, I considered the possibility of immediate battle, the possibility of a stalemate after some back and forth, and the possibility of no agreement at all, with them being captured or driven away. And now...

It didn't escalate into the worst possible situation. Showing off your strength to pull someone in is definitely better than directly conquering them with force; it's too surreal.

"Gentlemen, no... this matter is not as simple as you say, we have our difficulties!"

Tao Qinkang looked bitter, and the wrinkles on his chin looked like they were about to squeeze out oil. It was hard to believe that he was having any difficulties eating like this in the apocalypse.

On the ship, Zhang Su faced more than a hundred combatants without the slightest fear, only the passion to recruit people. Under the influence of his emotions, he could sense that some people were beginning to waver, so he added fuel to the fire!

“Survival in the apocalypse is already difficult enough. Facing zombies is dangerous enough. Why do humans have to fight each other? I’m not afraid to offend your leader. His actions of driving combatants to invade the Smoke City Camp and the LK Camp are absolutely unacceptable. The enemy of humanity should be the zombies!”

Zhang Suyi spoke with righteous indignation and confidence. From beginning to end, Tianma Island had never expanded through aggression. Each time it recruited and absorbed survivors, it was relatively peaceful, and it was basically a defensive counterattack.

The only exception was when they incorporated the Southern Federation!
But even that time there was a reason. If Huo Jingang hadn't desperately pedaled his bicycle to call for help, Tianma Island wouldn't have sent troops to come knocking on their door...

These words resonated deeply with many combat personnel. The more than 120 members of the Third Regiment present were mostly ordinary people before the disaster. There were certainly differences in wealth and status, but everyone longed for a peaceful and safe life.

I don't know when it started, but my inner thoughts were swept away, and I was forced to take the path of wielding the butcher's knife against my own kind. Some people whose hands were stained with the blood of their fellow human beings began to reflect on their actions.

At the dock, Chi Chengjiang and his two companions were filled with mixed emotions. Zhang Su's every word was powerful and clear to them.

Recalling the scene when Fang Tianru forced them to come and negotiate, they were both leaders, and they couldn't judge which style of doing things was better, but at this moment, they preferred the way the leader of Tianma Island did!
"Screw it, I'm not going back, I'm joining Tianma Island!"

One of the combatants, his face contorted with emotion, yanked off his hat and slammed it onto the deck, veins bulging on his forehead, a testament to the intensity of his feelings.

"Damn it, I'm not going back either!"

"I have no ties in Qing City, so I'm not leaving. Staying in Qincheng is out of the question!"

"It's a pity I still have more than fifty supply vouchers left. Never mind, Chief Zhang, I'm willing to stay!"

Like a flood bursting its banks, once the first person to choose to stay spoke up, a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth...

"Alright, you've made the right choice today. Come on, brothers who want to stay, step forward and wait over there. The rest of you, think it over. Whether you stay or go back, we'll always be good friends, and that will never change!"

The effectiveness of the [Emotional Release Source] is one thing, but Zhang Su's accurate grasp of everyone's mentality is also very important. As the leader of the camp, he is very clear about where the pain points of ordinary combat personnel lie.

People who are willing to take up arms to face zombies are brave, but that doesn’t mean they are not afraid of death.

A cacophony of footsteps echoed on the cargo ship, a testament to people voting with their feet. The three men on the dock, including Chi Chengjiang, were filled with complex emotions.

"The three of you, more than 80% of the group members have chosen to stay in Qincheng. Since things have come to this, why continue to dwell on it? Do you still have any attachments to Qing City?"

Zhang Su jumped off the cargo ship as if possessed, startling Chi Chengjiang and the other two.

Turning my head, I saw the team members disembarking one by one in an orderly manner. Without asking, I knew that these were the team members who had chosen to stay!
"Sigh, Chief Zhang, tell me about this mess... I, to tell you the truth, since we came here, our families have all been placed under house arrest by Fang Tianru at his manor. If we don't go back, I'm afraid... sigh!"

Chi Chengjiang's deep sorrow was entirely genuine.
