The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1265 Loyalty is very important!
A major change had occurred, and it was impossible for the people living in the mountains to be completely unaware of it.

The first to sense something was wrong was Liu Lingping. She was very perceptive of people's psychological state and had never seen the core members so negative and depressed since they arrived at Tianma Island!
Not to mention Zheng Xinyu's previous condition, there's no need to ask Yu Wen what exactly happened; she's 100% certain it's related to the leader!
The seriousness of the matter was self-evident. After the core members finished their meeting, there were five or six people missing. Seeing the shortage of manpower, she actively helped out, running around doing chores.

The second person to sense the strange atmosphere was Chang Qingsheng.

After the battle, he returned to the camp, but before he could even catch his breath, Zhou Haotian called him away, saying that he had a new design and wanted Zhou Haotian's help in getting his input.

We're all rushing to the front lines to fight together, so why are you thinking about other things?
When I finally finished my work and came to the restaurant, I saw those usually optimistic and cheerful young men picking at their food, looking like they had lost their parents in the face of the delicious food. Is this right?

"Brother Duan, what's going on... I noticed everyone seems distracted, what happened?"

Chang Qingsheng found Duan Wuhu, who was serving food to Cui Lengxuan. He was the only person in the restaurant who was relatively familiar with Duan Wuhu.

"I do not know either……"

Duan Wuhu shrugged with a strange expression.

He wasn't on the list of people notified of the meeting beforehand, even though he lived in the same building as Zhang Su, he was a later addition to Tianmayu.

None of the six people in the entire Cui Leng Xuan knew the specific details. Both the research department and the invention and creation department were basically under the direct management of the leader. With the leader missing, these two departments were somewhat unstable!
The first one to be targeted is Chang Qingsheng, whose situation is the most special. If anyone would cause trouble when Zhang Su is not around, this former Minister of the Warhawk Division is the prime suspect.

Fu Weijun and Xie Yanshan did not come over for dinner. The two were busy dealing with the emotional zombies and focused on their work, knowing very little about what was happening outside.

Chang Qingsheng didn't get a clear answer and returned to his seat to eat, preoccupied with his own thoughts.

Not only him, but Wang Guangjun also walked happily into the restaurant to eat, only to feel an extremely strange atmosphere as soon as he entered.

He had been with Wang Zhetao down the mountain. He was very pleased with his son's performance in today's battle. However, as long as the leader didn't order the brat to go up the mountain, he would stay in the village obediently.

"Hua Jun, why do I feel like everyone seems a little unhappy?"

Wang Guangjun quietly walked up to Tan Huajun, wanting to find out what was going on. Tan Huajun just shook her head and didn't say anything, gesturing for him to sit down and eat.

Ding Yongguo sat alone in the corner, pulling out a magazine featuring beautiful women from somewhere. He ate while admiring the bikinis, but his mind wasn't really on the women posing. He couldn't help but ponder the strange atmosphere.

If anyone didn't notice anything amiss, it would probably be Zheng Ziwen. He was happily enjoying the meal Jiao Yutong had prepared for him, completely unaffected by the atmosphere, and recounting the thrills and bravery of the battle to his female companion.

Jiao Yutong was different. She sensed something was wrong while her boyfriend was busy in the kitchen, but seeing that he was in high spirits, she didn't dare to interrupt him. Instead, she would occasionally praise him and provide him with plenty of emotional support.

"Little Orange, our camp..."

When Yi Xiaoling saw that Ju Wuying hadn't arrived at the restaurant for dinner yet, she ran back to Maple Leaf Inn, eager to share her experiences with her. However, when she saw Ju Wuying teaching Yu Ziyan, she quickly stopped talking.

"Stop here this morning, go have breakfast, and come back at ten o'clock."

Ju Wuying nodded at Zi Yan.

"Okay, Master Orange."

Yu Ziyan was very well-behaved and polite. She stood up, bowed to Ju Wuying, and then waved to Yi Xiaoling: "Goodbye, Aunt Xiaoling."

"Goodbye." Yi Xiaoling smiled as she watched Yu Ziyan leave. After closing the door, she said mysteriously, "Did you know that Teacher Yu called a meeting for the core members earlier?"

Tachibana Mai nods to indicate she understands. "Not long after everyone arrived, about half an hour ago, I saw..."

At this point, Yi Xiaoling lowered her voice further and whispered in Ju Wuying's ear: "I was bored in the kitchen when I looked up and guess what I saw? I saw my sister-in-law jump out of the window into the yard with her bag on her back, and then quietly leave Little Lucky!"

After saying that, Yi Xiaoling imitated Zheng Xinyu's movements, her stealthy movements were incredibly lifelike.

Tachibana Mai's brow twitched slightly. She rubbed the hilt of the dagger with her hand, and after about half a minute, she said, "Let's just do our own thing and not worry about anything else."

Yi Xiaoling was taken aback, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Don't you want to know what happened?"

A hint of helplessness lingered in Ju Wuying's eyes. Instead of answering Yi Xiaoling, she asked, "What do you think happened?"

"I think……"

Yi Xiaoling curled her lips into a cold smile, the kind most common in palace dramas, and said, "I guess my sister-in-law's affair was discovered. While Su-ge was away, everyone was trying to find a solution, and she didn't dare stay at the camp, so she secretly ran away!"

During the battle, Ju Wuying killed hundreds of zombies without feeling tired, but after hearing Yi Xiaoling's analysis, she almost fainted.

"Yes, loyalty is very important... Let's go eat first."

Ju Wuying didn't want to discuss this with Yi Xiaoling; the two were on completely different wavelengths.

"You're not interested in something this big? Fine."

Yi Xiaoling knew Ju Wuying's personality; she was just that cold and aloof. She shrugged and said no more.

"This victory today means we'll be safe and sound for at least a month. The leaders of the Yama Legion are amazing! I want to join the Yama Legion too!"

"I've inquired, and only the elite legions and reserve legions have open recruitment windows. The Yama Legion has a much stricter screening mechanism!"

"Brother Su, you really opened my eyes today. And those three huge zombies, did you guys notice? It was that skinny woman who was controlling them."

"Are you blind? Is that a woman? That's a zombie too! The Yama Legion has the ability to control zombies. If we follow in the footsteps of King Yama, our camp will surely become great!"

The village at the foot of the mountain was filled with joy; people were eating, laughing, joking, and chatting happily.

Everyone was talking about the great battle, with most of the discussion focusing on the bravery and skill of the Yama Legion members. After the battle, everyone's cohesion and sense of collective honor reached a new level.

Especially for the survivors who recently arrived at the camp, the victory eased the sorrow of leaving their homes and reduced the sense of alienation in the unfamiliar environment, and they immediately felt at home.

Without Zhang Su's intervention, Black Bear from Jiaozhou Peninsula, Old K, and the original members of the Third Regiment of Laoshan Camp had already sat down together, and their shared experience of fighting side by side had resolved their past grudges.

The zombies left after the great battle, but that doesn't mean the crisis for humanity is over. On the contrary, as temperatures continue to drop, everyone faces a severe test!

A high-precision thermometer shows that the outdoor temperature has dropped to minus 45 degrees Celsius, a new level of cold compared to the previous minus 28 degrees Celsius!
The change in numbers may seem small, only about seventeen degrees, but this represents a physical chasm that many materials cannot overcome!
The fluids in many vehicles will solidify, and before the steam spine is fully installed, all aspects of people's lives will become more difficult.

The good news is that the fuel has been replenished, with tens of thousands of zombie corpses providing the camp with a power supply!
