You all know what we’re looking for now, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su wasn’t lost in the luxurious décor and amenities; he rummaged everywhere, searching for the so-called arms storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Su’s words, the others snapped back to reality and immediately settled their minds to search thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little Corgi had somehow also climbed aboard; it watched Zhang Su rummaging everywhere, tilted its head in thought for a moment, then joined in the search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Su, there doesn’t seem to be anything inside…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De walked to the rear of the vehicle and found a bedroom, with a standard double bed inside, its sheets as white and pristine as new; he flipped up the mattress—nothing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The interior space doesn’t add up, Brother Su!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked into the bedroom; Zheng Xinyu tilted her head and glanced at the driver’s cabin: “From outside, this vehicle is very long—yet the interior space… there should be another section behind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed to the wall behind the head of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xinyu’s right—I also felt the interior was too short!” Zhao De nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At twelve meters long, this vehicle was over a meter longer than two Mercedes S-Class cars end to end; calling its interior spacious was inadequate—it was magnificent for a vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su also sensed the issue Zheng Xinyu mentioned, but he had no manual and no beautiful car model to explain it to him—he could only explore slowly himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look for buttons—nothing’ll break, just try everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Su spoke, he walked to the driver’s seat and started the vehicle; glancing at the fuel gauge, he found it was three-quarters full, giving a range of seven hundred kilometers—totally awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone frantically pressed buttons and indeed discovered unusual features: many visible furnishings could retract into the floor, even the large double bed could sink beneath the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furniture didn’t just retract into the floor—the cabin also had a three-to-four-meter section that could extend outward, further expanding the interior space; according to the label beside the button, the extension could only be used when the vehicle was stationary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of operations, a sunshade unfolded from the roof, creating a simple outdoor camping area outside, leaving everyone astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, they still hadn’t found how to access the mysterious area behind the bedroom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, I’m such an idiot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su scratched his head, walked to the driver’s cabin, and suddenly spotted a button labeled “open trunk”—it all clicked; he’d forgotten such a simple, direct design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he pressed the trunk-opening button; a faint hum of electric motors came from the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone rushed off the vehicle to peer into the rear compartment, they realized just how backward they were—a Porsche sports car sat perfectly parked inside the RV’s trunk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One car shocks me ten times!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yubo stood dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu reached out and touched the Porsche’s rear fender: “An RV is pregnant with a sports car—Wuhu! A love that crosses species!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su was just marveling at the lavishness of the rich when Zheng Xinyu’s bizarre imagination stunned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the odd Zheng Xinyu, then stepped into the garage to inspect it; after rummaging again, he still found no firearms—until he looked down and his eyes lit up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s something fishy underneath!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su stomped his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the garage’s height, it stood nearly a meter off the ground; the space beneath—some fifty centimeters—was highly suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu wang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone searched, the Corgi gently scratched at a spot on the carpet and barked at Zhang Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone lifted the carpet, they found a hidden button beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, Brother Su, this dog’s amazing—how does it know everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yubo and the others stared at the Corgi, lying beside them, with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s earned us several favors today—don’t bully it; if there’s food, share some with it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Su spoke, he lifted the panel and pressed the button; the Porsche shuddered slightly, and the entire floor began slowly rising!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the floor reached its peak, about fifty centimeters high, revealing a double-sided storage rack above, lined with numerous hooks designed to hold firearms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-awaited arms storage lay before them—but most of the hooks were empty; only three handguns hung lonely in the corner, like abandoned orphans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh well!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su shrugged helplessly, reluctantly took down the three handguns, examined them closely, and said: “Heckler & Koch USP—you all know the USP from Counter-Strike? This is it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, that’s awesome, big brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De was the only one who reacted, since the others had never played Counter-Strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awesome? Effective kill range is only seventy to eighty meters—worse than my crossbow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su patted the crossbow slung over his shoulder and gestured beside him: “Look at the rack’s design—there were definitely automatic rifles and submachine guns here before. What a shame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be grateful, big brother—it’s still a handgun! I’ll tell you, someone like me who doesn’t know guns? I’d be more terrified of a handgun than a crossbow. To me, a crossbow’s just a toy—hey, let me touch it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De grinned broadly, his eyes fixed on the handgun in Zhang Su’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su realized—he’d been dissatisfied with only three handguns because he’d assumed the group was large; if he’d been traveling with Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan, each would have one—still quite powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These guns are well-maintained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su, awkwardly handling them, removed the magazine—empty—and handed the gun to Zhao De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Su, how do we divide these guns?” Lu Yubo asked the most critical question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, check how many bullets we have left—we can make our own crossbow bolts, but we can’t make bullets!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su crouched and opened a box beneath; inside, neatly stacked boxes of .40 S&W ammunition filled it—roughly five hundred rounds at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullets are decent—these are the lowest-recoil .40 S&W rounds, good power too. Hmm? Look, there are also some 5.56x45mm rounds left—there must’ve been automatic rifles here before!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su stood up, slightly frustrated: “Originally, I planned to distribute evenly by headcount—but now we only have three handguns, so we distribute by need. For now, we’re certain: sentries must rotate with firearms. The rest we’ll decide later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone agreed with the proposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three guns, two crossbows—big brother, I doubt any other survivor group out there is better equipped!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao De reluctantly returned the handgun to Zhang Su, a proud smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handguns couldn’t compare to submachine guns or automatic rifles—they were weak against zombies—but in a country with extreme gun control, they were still terrifyingly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When most survivors couldn’t even find a decent weapon, being pointed at by a handgun or crossbow meant zero chance of survival!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even with guns, we can’t let our guard down. Even a lion uses full force against a rabbit. Don’t forget who you are just because you’re holding a gun—there are countless cases of people failing in the dirtiest ways!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su wasn’t overly excited—reality had fallen short of expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1313,"2026-06-20T15:15:14.526Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fe0c5b63bbfaaec138bd265456b8f1d0161f0f6b6cc6fe04501f727be4701c61","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-121","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-119",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
