I’ve finally had the chance to thank you in person. Yesterday, if you hadn’t drawn the zombies away from me, I probably wouldn’t have made it. Thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Officer Qin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Zhang Su take a good look at Qin Ya—his face was ordinary, unremarkable, but a steady resolve always lingered in his brows, and with the demeanor of a special police officer, he carried an overall sharp, intimidating aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the young man standing quietly by, nearly invisible, exclaimed in surprise, “Big brother, so yesterday you led the zombies away on purpose to save Brother Qin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forgot to introduce you—this is Tian Fan, and this lady is Yu Nuo. Both are residents of Unit One here,” Qin Ya said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Fan and Yu Nuo quickly greeted Zhang Su. They now relied entirely on Qin Ya to lead them out, and since Qin Ya had been saved by this man, they treated him with great courtesy and respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And me! Don’t forget me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little boy raised his hand, begging to be introduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ya smiled, patting Liu Xuanyu’s head. “Liu Xuanyu… uh… a close friend’s child.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su nodded to Tian Fan and Yu Nuo, then gently patted Liu Xuanyu’s head too. He guessed Qin Ya’s presence here was likely because of this child—if so, things might not turn out well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the pleasantries, Zhang Su’s gaze flickered to the assault rifle slung over Qin Ya’s shoulder. “Officer Qin, were you one of the officers involved in the battle on Wenhua Road last night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Ah… we’re not going anywhere anytime soon, so why not sit down and talk a bit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing everyone’s anxious expressions, Qin Ya waved his hand, signaling them to sit, then turned to Tian Fan. “Xiao Tian, go get a few bottles of water and hand them out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Fan responded eagerly and hurried toward the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Zhang Su’s group, Qin Ya’s side also had plenty of water—even after everyone carried as much as they could, there was still far too much left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around ten people sat down; apart from the lone milkman, everyone else settled on the sofas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu’s family probably never had this much noise before…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ya sighed with emotion, looking up at the ceiling, as if Liu’s spirit still watched from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Qin, our house used to be lively too. Once during New Year, lots of uncles and aunts came over, and Da Zheng and Xiao Xi were here too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xuanyu’s words deepened the somber mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New Year—the word symbolizing peace and happiness—now stirred the most painful memories in everyone’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ya shook his head helplessly, stroking Liu Xuanyu’s head, then asked Zhang Su, “The zombies downstairs were all drawn away by the explosion. Why did you bring so much with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su smirked, pointing to the Duan brothers beside him. “They know better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Wuhu made an apologetic gesture and sighed. “After the explosion, my brother and I gathered our things and planned to leave by car. But when we went to the underground parking lot, we startled those damn things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! We didn’t even touch the car, and nearly lost our lives. What bad luck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Wuhu shook his head in despair. If not for the accident earlier, he and Duan Sihai would’ve already driven out of Shengqin Jiayuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Sihai’s face was pale, his lips only slightly regaining color. Hearing his brother’s words, he immediately lowered his head. If he hadn’t panicked and dropped his weapon, none of this would’ve happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su knew the problem lay with Duan Sihai. His eyes subtly scanned him, saw no intention to admit fault, and silently sneered—choosing not to expose him. He turned back to Qin Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Officer Qin, I noticed you guys… were also planning to leave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he gestured toward the backpacks piled nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ya nodded, not hiding anything. “I originally planned to contact you and coordinate a plan. But before I figured out how to reach you, your building exploded. Meanwhile, our food was running low, and with the zombies drawn away, the pressure eased—so we decided to escape and link up with you. Didn’t expect it to turn out like this, haha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finished with an optimistic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Qin Ya had intended to join them, Zhang Su casually glanced at the people around him and silently shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three people: only the young man, Tian Fan, showed any real competence; Yu Nuo clearly was a frail, cowardly woman; and the brat Liu Xuanyu was slightly braver than her, but just as much of a liability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that women and children are inherently useless—they can be trained to handle many situations—but the process isn’t easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Qin Ya were a special police officer, even if the world’s top special forces commander showed up, they couldn’t carry this group!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su gave a faint smile and didn’t respond, instead asking another question: “Where are you planning to go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Qin is taking me to find my mom and dad!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qin Ya could speak, Liu Xuanyu raised his hand like a student reporting to a teacher, speaking with absolute certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among everyone present, apart from the clueless milkman, only Liu Xuanyu still believed his parents were alive…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ya’s cheerful smile vanished. He gave Zhang Su a bitter, slight shake of the head. “Yes, first we’ll find Xiao Yu’s parents, then head to Qingxian. The terrain there is rugged, mountainous, with few people—it should be much better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Officer Qin, we really think alike! My brother and I also plan to go to Qingxian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Wuhu exclaimed excitedly, then frowned. “But… hasn’t the government taken any action? Shouldn’t there have been prior arrangements?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly what Zhang Su and the others wanted to know. All eyes turned to Qin Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, this disaster had zero warning. From what our unit received, it erupted suddenly—with not a single moment to react. From what we’ve seen around us, it’s clear…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the face of a disaster of this scale, all contingency plans are useless. All nearby military units have lost contact. We’re facing a catastrophe beyond all estimates—a level of annihilation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ya didn’t hide what he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The special police unit’s information channels were far superior to ordinary people’s. If even Qin Ya said this, there was no room for doubt—no hope remained for rescue. Self-reliance was the only way out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It erupted without warning, infecting people everywhere. From what I’ve heard, our unit, the government, the military—all were hit. Total, indiscriminate infection. No one understands why.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ya sighed, remembering that morning just days ago—still trembling with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1162,"2026-06-20T15:15:14.526Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","266a75813f1b9e63b3a8facf6429a564f7367fc66a2db78c95530762f129f08c","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-58","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-56",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
