The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1233 Coming quietly, leaving quietly

"Elder Zong, thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously these past few days. I have benefited greatly from it. I wish you a safe journey."

Chen Hanzhou knew that Elder Zong would be leaving Tianma Island tonight. He had learned a lot from the three days of teaching and his overall strength had improved to a certain extent, and he was grateful.

Kuang Miao didn't even realize what was happening until Chen Hanzhou said that Professor Zong was about to leave, so he quickly bowed and saluted to thank Professor Zong for his teaching.

"My two little ones, I don't know when we'll meet again. Although you are not particularly gifted, you can make up for it with hard work. I hope that when I see you again, you will have grown in a way that will surprise this old man!"

Before leaving, Elder Zong couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark about the two of them, but compared to his previous sharp tongues, it was much milder...

On the return trip, Zhang Su chatted with Elder Zong about many things, including the creation of the world, the research on martial arts, and their views on the future.

"Young friend Zhang, I won't go to Tianma Island. I'll get off up ahead and head back to Yong County."

When the horde of corpses from the Chuhai River appeared in the distance, Elder Zong straightened his sleeves and calmly spoke.

"Would you like the brothers to see you off? Don't you need to prepare anything for the journey?"

Since Elder Zong had already made his decision, Zhang Su did not try to persuade him to stay. There was no need for formalities in this situation.

Elder Zong patted his sword, stroked his beard, and smiled, "Traveling with a sword won't take too long, so there's no need to prepare anything else."

With Elder Zong's strength, clearing out and eliminating a horde of zombies would not be easy, but avoiding them would be a piece of cake. The villages and towns along the way could all become his supply points.

"Okay, then I'll take you a little further."

"No need, young friend Zhang. We've come to an end after seeing you off for a thousand miles. Please go back and tell Chang that I will take care of his matter. There's no need to worry."

The vehicle came to a stop, and Elder Zong got out. Suddenly remembering something, he turned around and said, "By the way, young friend Zhang, do you still remember the little boy who took me up the mountain?"

Zhang Su nodded: "I remember. I have some connection with that person. We live in the same neighborhood, just one building in front of mine. His name is Tian Fan."

"Tian Fan," Elder Zong murmured softly, then chuckled, "That little lad is very principled and has a lot of backbone. I offered him a chance at success, but he refused, remaining utterly loyal to the camp!"

"Ha, so there's a story behind this. Tian Fan didn't tell me. Okay, I got it."

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, see you another day!"

Master Zong waved his sleeves, used the Yaozhi Step technique, and left gracefully.

Zhang Su leaned against the hood of the car, lit a cigarette, and watched Elder Zong depart westward.

Seemingly aware that Zhang Su was watching, Elder Zong deliberately concealed himself in a village.

"Old man, this is interesting..."

As an enemy, Elder Zong is not very likable. Even on the same side, he is not easy to get along with due to his personality. However, under the influence of the [Loyalty Imprint], some interesting contrasts have emerged in him.

A moment later, the Land Cruiser FJ returned to Tianma Island. On the way, Zhang Su learned about the situation through the walkie-talkie. The people of the third group of Laoshan Camp had been settled in Village No. 3, which was two miles away from the people of Yancheng and Weishi. Unless it was a group activity, it was difficult to meet.

"Ok?"

As soon as Zhang Su got out of the car, he saw Zhao Kongkong standing next to the cargo box of the fire-breathing zombie with his hands in his pockets. Ding Yongguo had moved a stool and was sitting outside the blacksmith's shop, seemingly working, but actually watching Zhao Kongkong as if he were guarding against a thief.

"Chief Zhang!"

When Zhao Kongkong saw Zhang Su return, he quickly went to greet him, sighed, and said, "I knew they were coming to Qincheng when I saw those guys, so I made up a lie to deceive them, Chief Zhang..."

"Shh, shh... I know, I understand what you mean."

Zhang Su comforted the anxious Zhao Kongkong, who was now full of energy and showed no signs of the listlessness he had shown on the ship earlier.

"It's a pity that the yacht was a defective product; it just stopped working. Chief Zhang, could I ask you for another boat on credit?"

Zhao Kongkong was clearly not giving up and still wanted to return to the Jiaozhou Peninsula.

Zhang Su pushed up his sunglasses, his expression strange. "Master Zhao, didn't you see those waves before? What's the point of going? It's like a clay bodhisattva trying to cross the sea, you know? You'll be sinking to the bottom of the ocean in less than ten kilometers!" "I..."

Zhao Kongkong was speechless. He knew that the sea was dangerous, but he still couldn't let go of his worries.

“If conditions allow, I support you going to find Zhou Qingfeng, but in the current situation, insisting on going out to sea is tantamount to suicide. Don’t even think about going by land. With your speed, if something happens to Zhou Qingfeng and the others, they’ll be dead by the time you get to Jiaozhou Peninsula. If nothing happens, it doesn’t really matter whether you go or not!”

Zhang Su suddenly felt that it was good that Elder Zong spoke so incisively, as it could sting stubborn people.

"Chief Zhang is right. I was a bit overestimating myself."

After pondering for a while, Zhao Kongkong finally admitted the cruel reality: others called him a sword immortal, but he was not a real sword immortal!
"Go back to the village. Don't think too much about it. Just live your life well from now on. Don't spread the news about the Third Regiment of Laoshan Camp!"

"I understand, thank you Chief Zhang. Please feel free to ask me for anything, I owe the camp."

Zhao Kongkong felt depressed. He had never been in debt in his life, but now, in his old age, he owed someone a yacht...

"Haha." Zhang Su found it amusing and shook his head, saying, "Teach us your Kongtong Sect's kung fu, and consider it compensation. Go!"

"Of course, of course, then I'll take my leave."

Zhao Kongkong cupped his hands in greeting, turned around, and descended the mountain.

"Thank you for your help, Lao Ding."

"It's no big deal, hehe. The camp is our home, and its development depends on everyone!"

"You're busy, I have other things to do."

Zhang Su waved to Ding Yongguo and then walked towards Cui Lengxuan. He was going to convey Elder Zong's words to Chang Qingsheng.

Wow, you guys are amazing.

Upon arriving at the Invention and Creation Department, they found that there wasn't even a place to stand. Zhou Haotian and Chang Qingsheng were setting up a campsite on the ground, still in a rough and wild style.

"Brother Su." When Chang Qingsheng saw Zhang Su arrive, he put down his work and stood up.

"Haha, Brother Su, look at our achievements today! The big rocks are mountains, the sand dunes are hills, the gravel is the location of villages, and these are steam pipes! This is Tianma Island, and this is Village No. 1..."

Zhou Haotian held up the wires simulating a pipe and happily explained them to Zhang Su.

"Speaking of which...wouldn't it be easier to just draw a diagram?"

Zhang Su looked at the mess on the ground and couldn't quite understand it.

"Oh, well, we already have design sketches. Paper can only be used for ideal planning. We also need to simulate the ventilation of the pipes, so we must have actual modeling."

Zhou Haotian pointed to the papers scattered on the ground and explained very seriously.

"Okay, let's get on with the modeling. Hey, Lao Chang, come out here for a second."

The two went outside, and Zhang Su relayed Elder Zong's words to Chang Qingsheng verbatim, then added, "Elder Zong doesn't make promises lightly. Since he promised, don't worry anymore. There are still a few months until the due date, right? You'll definitely see your wife and child then!"

Drawing a pie in the sky: a leader's self-cultivation.

Chang Qingsheng relaxed completely and said wistfully, "Thank you for your help, Brother Su. With Elder Zong's guarantee, there won't be any problems. Um... could I make a copy of the recordings from the past few days?"

With his most pressing concerns resolved, Chang Qingsheng decided to try and secure some resources for himself.

Zhang Su was quite generous about this, nodding and saying, "No problem, just go and tell Wang Xin, it's all with him! The food is ready, let's go eat first."

As they were talking, the cooks announced that dinner was ready.
