The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 527 Unlock the new map! (Wish readers a happy National Day, please subscribe)

"There's nothing special about Grape Valley, so why do all the zombies gather there... or did something happen later?"

Zhang Su tightened his quilt tightly. It was already very late, but he couldn't sleep at all. His mind was full of thoughts, and then he thought of the second message.

Compared to the corpse group in Grape Valley, Zhang Su cared more about the second one, because this news came from a camp in Beihe District and involved relevant intelligence at sea!

News from the tardigrade survivors' organization: There is a strange spherical object floating dozens of kilometers away from Dove Nest Beach. It is about the size of an ordinary SUV and releases blue arcs irregularly. The arcs spread over a range of hundreds of meters. It is not obvious during the day, but resembles a dance hall light ball at night. As the coastline has frozen, it is impossible to go out to sea to find out the specific situation.

The news was not complicated. It was that an unidentified object appeared outside Dove Nest Beach. Zhang Su didn't know what it was, but its direction was exactly on the land route leading to Fu Weijun's laboratory!

If it was just some kind of human facility left at sea, it wouldn't be a big problem, but if it was related to this catastrophe, it would be a big deal.

Although there is no conclusive evidence that the corpse transformation is related to other civilizations, the vast majority of people on Tianma Island have basically reached a consensus that it was other civilizations that caused the catastrophe, but they don't know where this civilization came from.

It could be an alien planet or the center of the earth, but it is definitely not human beings themselves, at least not the human technology of this era.

If it is a product of other civilizations, it would be rare!

Unfortunately, it is too difficult for people to go out to sea at this stage. Even if they can go out to sea, according to intelligence, when the electric arc is released, it will affect an area of ​​hundreds of meters in the sea, which is very likely to cause damage to ships and people. If you want to get close, you have to find a way!
In any case, this is very important information. No matter from which perspective, this ball is a good thing. Once there is a chance, we must find a way to get it!

"Fu Weijun must not know this news, otherwise he will definitely go crazy..."

Zhang Su couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, and his fingers gently stroked the notebook.

Fu Weijun was already obsessed with the high-end equipment in the laboratory. If he knew that there were creatures that looked like those of other civilizations on the sea, he would probably have to walk to the seaside even with his wheelchair...

Putting aside Fu Weijun's unrealistic impulse, Zhang Su himself has always been thinking about going out to sea. Whether it is to make better use of zombies or to conduct in-depth research on combating zombie transformation, the participation of high-precision equipment is required.

Now the only place where we can be sure those instruments are located is Fu Weijun’s laboratory on the island.

"It's easy to get a ship, but it's hard to find an opportunity..."

Zhang Su turned over and immediately remembered the last piece of special information.

When Qing County first received the radio signal from the survivor camps in other cities, it was the Tangcheng Zhengdao Association. Unexpectedly, Liao Youzhi in Qincheng had also contacted them.

A month ago, the exact date was not recorded, an expedition team from the Zhengdao Society crossed the region from Tangcheng to Qincheng.

According to the information recorded by Liao Youzhi, the expedition team of the Righteous Society is to obtain intelligence about the survivors' camp in Qincheng. At the same time, they are also extending an olive branch to the Survivors' Alliance, hoping that Liao Youzhi can bring people to join the Righteous Society and completely abandon Qincheng!
According to the Zhengdaohui expedition team, Tangcheng is an old industrial city. If human technology wants to revive, it cannot do without industry, so they hope to win over people from surrounding cities and concentrate them in Tangcheng for common development, which is definitely better than tourist cities such as Qincheng and Chengcheng.

Since the Survivors Alliance is still in Qincheng, it can be confirmed that Liao Youzhi did not accept the invitation from the Righteous Association at the beginning.

If it weren't for this incident, Zhang Su felt that the Zhengdao Association would definitely continue to recruit all the forces in Qincheng. Unfortunately, the situation is serious now. The distance between the two places is hundreds of kilometers, and it may not be easy to get in touch again.

As a fellow human being, Zhang Su would feel conflicted if the development philosophy of the Zhengdao Society was very healthy and could really lead the survivors to create a comfortable living environment. While he was grateful, he also felt a little unhappy.

Unconsciously, his mentality has changed. He has grown from a small survival team of two or three people to a team, and then to the leader of four or five hundred people. He has gained the respect and compliments of his subordinates. He has truly achieved the results with his own hands. If he wants to give up...

It’s not that I can’t bear to part with it, I really can’t bear to part with it!

"Power is really a good thing. It makes people unable to stop."

Zhang Su is not a person who dares to do things but is afraid to take responsibility. He is very clear about the changes in his heart.

"Oh, why do you think so much? You are just worrying too much!"

To comfort myself, from the information I have received so far, the Zhengdao Association is indeed very large, but the development of Tianma Island is also good. Instead of worrying about the infiltration and erosion of other forces, the ordinary zombies that are as crazy as dogs and the big guys who are as strong as bulls are the biggest difficulties at present!

"The methods for dealing with zombies need to be updated and iterated. If Xiao Chen's special situation becomes common and can be controlled..."

"What on earth is that thing on the sea? Dr. Fu's laboratory... no one should go there, right?"

"Tianma Island's energy system needs to be updated..."

"Hey, husband, what's going on with Xiao Chen? What did you two talk about?"

Zhang Su was daydreaming when he suddenly heard a voice behind him, which scared him.

"Fuck, aren't you asleep?"

I heard Zheng Xinyu's breathing was steady before, so I thought she was asleep.

"I fell asleep in a daze, but suddenly I remembered that Xiao Chen called you away. I knew something was wrong with him, so I could say no. What did you two talk about?"

Zheng Xinyu turned around, jumped into Zhang Su's bed, and put her legs directly on Zhang Su's stomach.

Zhang Su looked at the stains on the ceiling, pondered for a while, and said softly: "He has some health problems..."

"It's over, is he going to turn into a zombie?" Zheng Xinyu asked with concern. This concern had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but was purely out of concern for her companions.

Zhang Su pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "There is no sign of corpse transformation, and he has power that does not belong to him. From past experience, every rainfall will have an impact on him. As for how it will develop in the future, it is hard to say..."

"Are these strange phenomena related to the time when he was first bitten?"

Zheng Xinyu asked curiously.

"At present, we can only draw this conclusion. The time node at that time was indeed a coincidence. It would be great if we could find similar situations and have a reference. Unfortunately, there are none... Hey, don't tell anyone what I told you today!"

"When have I ever spread gossip? Don't worry, it's all in, no out!"

"trust you……"

Zhang Su nodded. The reason why he was willing to share with Zheng Xinyu was because she was indeed a tight-lipped person, and he also wanted to hear her predictions and analysis on some things as a reference.

"Hey, husband, if Xiao Chen really turns into a zombie, will he turn into a humanoid zombie, with the fierce fighting state of a zombie but able to maintain his mind, roar, roar, roar, like the guy we met in the Qinglong Corps?"

Zheng Xinyu was quiet for a moment, and a sudden idea came to her mind.

Zhang Su turned around and looked at Zheng Xinyu seriously, and said helplessly, "Look forward to Chen Hanzhou, okay..."

"I didn't say anything bad, but I really think it would be nice if it were that way..."

"Cough cough cough...hiss! You call this stuff good?" In a hot pot restaurant next to the sauerkraut fish restaurant, Chen Hanzhou was holding a cigar between his fingers, coughing because of the choking, and his ribs that had not yet recovered were in pain.

Just now, Pan Guoliang gave Chen Hanzhou a cigar and told him that it was a good thing that could relieve pain and soothe the nerves...

"You don't know how! Come, I'll teach you!" Pan Guoliang took the cigar from Chen Hanzhou's hand, took a deep puff, let the smoke swirl in his mouth, and then slowly exhaled.

"See? This thing is not smoke. Wouldn't it be crazy if you inhaled it into your lungs? Try again..."

"No, no, no, stop bothering me..." Chen Hanzhou kept waving his hands.

"You don't want to smoke?" Pan Guoliang rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "It's okay if you don't smoke. Come on, tell me what happened when you were fighting before. Why did you suddenly become so powerful? Do you have any secret?"

"There is no secret. Just practice more! Go to the bathroom..."

Having said that, Chen Hanzhou stood up, holding his abdomen, not wanting to continue talking about this topic.

Many people couldn't sleep. On the roof of the air-conditioned room on the top floor of Tesco shopping mall, Wang Xin and Zhang Ya, wearing thick clothes, stood back to back to form a Kappa logo. One looked to the southeast and the other looked to the northwest, chatting in the night.

"What did you do in your previous job? People always say that programmers are boring, is that true?" Zhang Ya held the gun in her arms. People in love have a hot heart and don't feel cold even in an environment of minus 20 degrees Celsius. Similar topics have been discussed many times, but the previous life is so desirable that she always likes to reminisce from different angles.

"That's all stereotypes. It's true that our work is boring, but we are not boring. Our lives are rich. We are always connected to the Internet and can always get first-hand information. We can see a lot of gossip news earlier. What you talk about are just the leftovers we have seen!"

Wang Xin said happily with a happy smile on his face. He enjoyed working with his lover which made him feel warm, but he did not forget his real work. He glanced into the distance and shone a high-beam flashlight from time to time.

"Alas, now there is not even any scrap left..."

Wang Xin's joke did not make Zhang Ya feel good. She sighed, patted the cold roof, and said with nostalgia.

"I don't think I told you that I used to work here for a while, about five or six years ago. At that time, I was a shopping guide in a clothing store. I had just arrived in Qincheng not long ago, and it seemed to be my second job.

I worked so hard at that time, running after customers every day, holding a pile of clothes for customers to try on, just to sell more. But when I got my salary, it was 1,800 yuan, and I couldn't even afford to buy a bottle of skin cream. Now thinking about it, those sad days are so happy..."

"It's pretty good now, I don't even need to wipe my face, haha, it's back to nature, but it's a bit dry, I still have to maintain it if I can."

Wang Xin touched his cold cheek and said this, he was indeed a bit of a trumpet player.

"Well, let's do it. Your face feels a little dry... Eh? Xiaoya, what's wrong?" After touching herself for a long time, Wang Xin found that Zhang Ya hadn't spoken a word and could feel that she was in a low mood.

"Xinxin, do you think we still have hope?"

Zhang Ya lowered her head and buried it between her knees, as if she felt safer this way.

Wang Xin pursed his lips and suddenly laughed: "What are you talking about? Of course we have hope. We are all together well. Can you still cheat on me? Or are you afraid that I will cheat on you? I didn't go out to play at night!"

"You know what I'm talking about, don't interrupt."

Zhang Ya was not in the mood to joke with Wang Xin. After experiencing the terrifying moment in the afternoon, she was still feeling uneasy.

Wang Xin took a deep breath of cold air, flicked the cigarette butt away, looked up at the inky sky, and said, "The zombies are getting stronger, and so are we. Don't be so pessimistic. This is not like your character. Cheer up!"

As he spoke, Wang Xin stood up and jumped, then suddenly smirked, turned around, bent over and crouched on Zhang Ya's back, and whispered, "Xiao Ya, look, the scenery here is unique, no one will come to find us, shall we... unlock a new map?"

Zhang Ya was speechless after hearing what Wang Xin said. She frowned and said, "It's so cold. What are you dreaming about?"

"How can this be a dream? I'm awake, hehe..."

"You are dreaming!"

Although they were both talking about dreaming, the atmosphere between Yu Wen and Zhao Dezhu was obviously much more tense.

"If it weren't for today's snowfall, and life was getting better, I wouldn't object to you and Qingqing having a child. I would support it. But under the current circumstances, I strongly disagree!"

Coincidentally, Wang Xin and Zhao Dezhu had the same "dream", but there was a small difference. One did not consider creating a villain, while the other wanted to create a villain...

When Zhao Dezhu vaguely revealed his idea to Yu Wen, he was immediately severely criticized.

"I just... Hey, I didn't do that, I just..."

"From the perspective of humanity, breeding offspring is the unavoidable responsibility of every survivor, but I don't want Qingqing to take risks. You can say I'm selfish or narrow-minded, but I'm just reminding you not to do irrational things when you can't see a clear future!"

Yu Wen was originally half lying down, but he sat up straight when he got excited.

"I understand, I understand, uncle, don't worry, I won't be reckless, and Qingqing won't be either, don't worry."

Zhao Dezhu regretted talking about this matter just now. He blamed himself for being idle and got scolded in the end.

"I believe Qingqing would not agree to such a risky request, right?"

Yu Wen asked.

"Um……"

Zhao Dezhu nodded sullenly. Yu Qing did disagree, so he came to talk to Yu Wen, hoping that Yu Wen could help persuade Yu Qing. After all, being a grandfather was still a bit tempting. However, he did not expect the other party to be so rational.

Yu Wen slowed down his tone and said, "Xiao Zhao, your growth is obvious to all. I am also very pleased. Qingqing often tells me about your progress. This is a fact that none of us can deny, but this... cannot change the overall situation. Look at this afternoon... Oh, let's not talk about this afternoon!"

What happened in the afternoon caused a great psychological shock to the people who stayed in Tesco. The feeling of touching death made it very difficult for them to remain calm.

After a moment of silence, Yu Wen spoke again, saying earnestly: "I won't say anything else, I'll just mention one thing, remember it..."

Zhao Dezhu felt that his father-in-law's tone suddenly became serious, and he quickly became serious and said, "Hey, uncle, you tell me, I'll remember it well."

"First of all, let me make my position clear. I also hope to be a grandfather in my lifetime, but I absolutely cannot let you take risks. Remember, when Xinyu and Xiaoshan are pregnant, you can be with Qingqing... Do you understand what I mean?"

Based on Yu Wen's understanding of Zhang Su, his decision is a reliable indicator. If he decides to continue the bloodline, then it will be the basis for stability. At least he will make various decisions and efforts for the sake of stability.

Zhao Dezhu suddenly understood and nodded slowly: "I understand, I understand!"

"Do you understand?"

In another restaurant, Pang Dakun was holding a lock core in his hand and explaining lock picking knowledge to Wu Lue and Qi Xiaoshuai.

"You can learn it with your eyes, but I think this stuff still requires practice!"

Qi Xiaoshuai touched his nose bridge, took the lock core from Pang Dakun's hand and fiddled with it, but didn't feel anything. It seemed that he was not cut out for this.

Wu Lue chuckled and said like a fangirl: "I also think that practice leads to true knowledge. I have seen so many of your works, but it was not until tonight's practice that I realized that it was so cool. Ah, it was not lived in vain. I really want to have more fun."

Qi Xiaoshuai and Pang Dakun looked at each other. It seemed that this guy was not concentrating on unlocking the lock at all, but was thinking about inserting the key into the keyhole.

"Brother Wu, I know I am a few years younger than you, but I still want to advise you. There are some things that we cannot go through. My master once taught me that there are only cows that die of exhaustion in this world, but there are no fields that can be plowed. We consume too much energy every day, so you should not go there again!"

Pang Dakun looked mature for his age, and tried to educate Wu Lue earnestly, which made Qi Xiaoshuai beside him laugh strangely.

"Go away, you little bird! I heard that you finished in less than three minutes, and you still have the nerve to lecture me. Even though it's my first time, I lasted a full five minutes! What's wrong with a few more shots? I'm strong and healthy. Am I afraid that they will suck me dry?"

Wu Lue was obviously unwilling to admit defeat, he straightened his back and patted his chest.

He was indeed much stronger than when the disaster first broke out. The dark circles under his eyes were gone, his hollow body became stronger, and his whole body was full of energy and spirit!
Qi Xiaoshuai waved his hand and said, "Liezi, don't try to show off. You must have basic self-discipline. We are in good health, but to be honest with you, if you are really trapped by those big sisters just now, three of you will not be enough. When you encounter zombies, your legs will tremble. Brother Su will chop you to pieces!"

Speaking of the key point, Wu Lue's face trembled, and he stopped trying to show off. He laughed dryly and said bitterly: "We are just talking nonsense, how can we really do it several times? At most, one shot, just one shot, I will definitely not be weak!"

"Are you serious? Do you want to go?"

Qi Xiaoshuai saw that Wu Lue looked unsatisfied and knew what he was planning.

"It's my first time tasting it, and I can't help myself. Let's go. Let's go together. This is a rare opportunity. We have to go to the Civilization Guard tomorrow, and then we will go back to Tianma Island. We won't have the conditions to do this in the future!"

Wu Lue was a little afraid to go downstairs alone, and planned to take Qi Xiaoshuai and Pang Dakun with him.

Qi Xiaoshuai turned his body to glance at the dark mall, occasionally hearing whispers and coughs. He smiled awkwardly and waved his hands: "I'm a little tired, so I won't go, hehehe..."

Pang Dakun was even more direct. He put the lock on the ground and said, "Brother Wu, you can't go there anymore. If you go again, I will tell my uncle!"
