The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 998 Don't you dare touch it
"Ha, this thing is definitely based on age, it's just to bully you, you little tuft of feathers aren't even fully grown yet, of course there are fewer!"

Zhao Dezhu laughed heartily, teasing Pang Dakun, whose face was flushed red, which made everyone smile.

Yu Qing playfully nudged Zhao Dezhu, saying that he always spoke recklessly when he got excited.

There were also some members who did not acquire special abilities, such as Liu Tianji, Lü Leiyang, and Jia Shiqin, who sat on the sidelines watching the excitement. Some of them felt a little disappointed, but that was just fate, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Fortunately, the people on Tianma Island are very united. Even if they feel a little envious and jealous of their companions who have gained abilities, they are happy for them. After all, the dazzling light emanating from their companions will also illuminate everyone around them!
"Hmph, Uncle already said that the amount of energy is unchangeable, but how to utilize this energy requires effort. What do you all know?"

Pang Dakun was very unconvinced and asked the crowd with his neck stiff.

"Just kidding, what's the point of talking if you don't know how to use it? Watch me demonstrate!"

Zhao Dezhu immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to give it a try.

"Hey, Pillar, save that for training, don't tear the restaurant apart here!"

Seeing a chill emanating from Zhao Dezhu's arm, Zhang Su quickly stopped him.

"Brother Su, you said that if the ice zombies have ice hearts, could the fire-breathing zombies also have fire hearts?"

Lu Yubo suddenly had a whimsical idea and pointed in the direction of the parking lot to ask a question.

"Hey, Brother Lu, that's a good idea! If fire-breathing zombies had something similar, could we absorb a wave of them?"

"Wow, aren't we a bit too powerful? We've got ice and fire abilities, we've become mages! Dual-wielding ice and fire grand mages!"

Lu Yubo's conjecture instantly ignited a discussion among the crowd, even those companions who had not absorbed the fragments of the Frost Heart joined in, because if Lu Yubo's conjecture was true, this would be their chance!
Zhang Su raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with the silent Chen Hanzhou. Although he was wearing sunglasses, it didn't hinder their eye contact...

Lu Yubo was right; the energy source of the fire-breathing zombie really was in its chest, most likely its fiery heart. But could it be used so casually?

"Hey, you guys are overthinking it. It's such a rare coincidence that the ice zombie left behind an energy source after its self-destruction. What, you want the fire-breathing zombie to replicate it?"

Zhang Su interrupted the heated discussion. If they continued, they'd practically drag the fire-breathing zombie to the wilderness and detonate it!
Previously, only Chen Hanzhou was interested in the fire-breathing zombie's ability, but now, everyone is interested!

"Uh...is it not okay?"

Let's remove the character '吗'!

"Brother Su is right. The Ice Zombie leaving its heart was an accident. It chose to self-destruct, that's why it did that. Look at the Azure Dragon Legion's Venom Zombie explosion, it didn't leave anything behind, did it?"

Zheng Xinyu understood the implication in Zhang Su's words and quickly chimed in.

"Don't forget, our first goal was to capture the Frost Zombie alive. It's just that we weren't capable enough to defeat it. Otherwise, if we had captured it alive, we could have controlled it like the Fire-Breathing Zombie. Its normal combat power would have been much greater than all of us combined!"

At Yu Qing's prompting glance, Zhao Dezhu changed the subject.

“That’s right!” Zhang Su raised his hand, confirming Zheng Xinyu and Zhao Dezhu’s statement, and said, “It’s certainly fortunate that we were able to gain this ability by chance, but an accident is an accident. We must not treat it as the norm, or something bad will happen!”

Seeing this, Yu Wen also stood up and said loudly, "I usually don't participate in discussions about these things, but there's something I have to say. The fire-breathing zombies aren't just for combat; they currently play a crucial role in the construction of the camp. Don't mess around with them!"

"No, no, we were just... talking nonsense, I was just making things up, I'm sorry."

Lu Yubo realized that his casual guess seemed to have caused very bad consequences, and looked at Zhang Su with a face full of apology.

"There are many wonderful uses for cold energy. If you make good use of it, everyone's strength can be greatly improved. You should focus on this now."

After saying that, Zhang Su casually demonstrated several uses of the cold energy, such as pinpoint attacks, targeted defense, and even the ability to cleverly amplify oneself, leaving the crowd who could only foolishly emit cold energy in awe.

"Wow, I never knew it had so many uses..." "This is awesome, Brother Su, it's so useful!"

"Uncle, what are the plans for this morning? I want to go practice now!"

Pang Dakun was very proactive.

The others also looked at Zhang Su with burning eyes. They were curious about the power that had inexplicably appeared in their bodies, and at the same time, they were full of expectations. This was an opportunity to become stronger, and they had to cherish it!
Zhang Su thought for a moment and said, "I was originally planning to arrange for someone to clean up the dock, but since you all want to practice, you're free to do whatever you want today. You were all very busy yesterday, so take a good rest!"

The camp now has two helicopters. These things consume more fuel than tanks when they move. The camp's fuel reserves are sufficient for cars and generators, but not enough to supply the helicopters.

Because the required fuel quality is different, it needs to be modified to meet the needs of helicopter use. This task can only be completed by Yu Qing. Fortunately, the camp has a lot of supplies now, otherwise, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

"Great!"

"Great."

"Let's go then, to the mountain stream, it's more spacious there!"

A day off was great news for everyone. They excitedly rushed out of the restaurant, and Zheng Xinyu, after receiving a signal from Zhang Su, followed the crowd. Everyone was eager to exchange and test their special abilities.

Aside from Chen Hanzhou and Ju Wuying, who had already deeply experienced and applied it to the battle, they weren't in such a hurry. Most importantly, they had something they wanted to talk to Zhang Su about.

Zhang Su saw through their thoughts and invited them to a corner. The three of them conducted an in-depth analysis of yesterday's battle and came to many pessimistic conclusions...

For example, the duration and side effects of the secret medicine were between ten and fifteen minutes for both Chen Hanzhou and Ju Wuying. The exact duration was not recorded, but the fatigue that followed lasted for up to half an hour!

Zhang Su was in much better condition than the other two. The boosting effect of the secret medicine lasted for about twenty minutes, and he did not feel any obvious fatigue afterward, but the rate at which his energy bar was being consumed increased significantly.

According to Zhang Su's understanding, this is a fundamental change in bodily functions and energy supply. The body's energy can always be kept at a full level until the energy is exhausted, at which point bodily functions will experience a precipitous decline.

Fortunately, there are two backup energy tanks, which can maintain a high intensity state for a long time!
Judging from yesterday's battle, the Yama Legion can at most contend with the two war divisions of Genesis, and that's without using fire-breathing zombies and venom slurry. But weapons of that level, once they are used in a battle against their own kind, would be devastating. The other side may not be without weapons of the same level!

The good news is that a group of members in the Yama Legion are growing rapidly. Once everyone can skillfully use the cold energy, the overall strength will see a qualitative improvement!
"It's true that only the rich play with technology, while we poor people rely on mutation... No, this isn't mutation, it's opportunity!"

Zhang Su shrugged with a strange expression.

A formidable enemy can be both a source of pressure and a driving force. Excessive worry is counterproductive; turning pressure into motivation is what truly helps.

“Go ahead, you’ve already gone ahead of Bo-zai and the others. Go and guide them on how to use cold energy. It will also be a good exercise for you.”

"Ah."

"Row."

The two nodded and left the restaurant.

The mealtime had long ended, and the dishes had already been cleared away. After Chen Hanzhou and Ju Wuying left the restaurant, only Zhang Su and Yu Wen remained.

"Old Yu, you look so worried. Are you afraid that Genesis will attack?"

Zhang Su sat down opposite Yu Wen. The patriarch had waited until the very end, so he must have something to say. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and casually pushed the cigarette pack across from him.

“Mr. Zhang, we have to be careful about this. If we analyze it objectively and rationally, we are no match for Genesis for the time being. You just reached the same conclusion. This doesn’t mean we’re boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own, does it?”

Yu Wen also lit a cigarette, his brows furrowed in worry.
