Did Xiao Zuo piss you off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su glanced at Zuo Fengjuan, sitting quietly eating at a distance—she hadn’t been dining at Xiao Xingyun Restaurant, but now she came along to care for Fu Weijun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Weijun frowned deeply: “No, Teacher Zuo is very attentive, but… she’s a woman, I’m a man—it’s just awkward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All day, Fu Weijun held in his urine and stool until he couldn’t hold it anymore, and even though he refused Zuo Fengjuan’s help, her enthusiasm left him helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason was not wanting to show his vulnerability to strangers; another was the lingering discomfort between men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But right now, no one else can be spared to assist with your daily needs, and she’s a highly educated person—you should have things to talk about, right? Dr. Xie’s feedback said she has some academic ability, not dumb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether someone is dumb or not depends on whose perspective you judge from—if you’re a genius with sky-high IQ, everyone seems slow. Xie Yan’s IQ was definitely top-tier in the camp; if he praised her, Zuo Fengjuan must have real ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Weijun showed resistance, wanting to say more, but Zhang Su cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If no one looks after you, can you manage on your own?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to force Zuo Fengjuan onto Fu Weijun too harshly—that would raise suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Weijun thought carefully, sighed, and said: “It’s probably my own issue—I’ll adapt more. It’s a special time; I won’t cause trouble for everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su watched Fu Weijun wheel himself away, touched the two small pieces of golden brain matter still in his pocket, glanced at Chen Hanzhou eating with Pei Lan, then thought of Qiu Hui—his heart was torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does Dr. Fu have some emotional issues?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen walked over with his tray, sat down after glancing at Fu Weijun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su shoved a large mouthful of rice into his mouth and shrugged helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’ve got some good news for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen smiled as he ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s good news too? Tell me quick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The aftermath work in the three villages is underway with great urgency; everyone’s morale is high. I deliberately mixed up the former factions and guided their cooperation—collaboration is growing increasingly smooth. Also, this afternoon I led a team to clear the provincial highway; the route from camp to Xidaoying Village is now fully open, no detours needed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen finished speaking, scooped up a full mouth of rice—the highway was cluttered, but most debris was light, no heavy machinery needed, manpower sufficed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su nodded slightly: “Good. That’s genuinely encouraging progress. This small disaster came at a good time—it accelerates breaking down barriers between factions, boosts cohesion among survivors, and increases dependence on Tianmayu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is good news, but I haven’t told you the truly joyful part yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen chewed, a mysterious smile curling his lips—he didn’t drag it out: “Ma Changshou showed strong initiative. While clearing the river, he sent scouts into the city to check if the corpse horde would move after the shockwave! And sure enough, they did—the zombies scattered across the city are shifting southwest. That means the threat of the hundred-thousand-strong horde is temporarily lifted!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su froze at the news, then drew a deep breath: “Good news—this is real good news! Hahaha! This buys us a lot of time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the horde moves, the survivors there suffer—that’s unavoidable. Zhang Su wasn’t grand enough to think, “If I don’t descend into hell, who will?” and deliberately lure zombies to his camp. Having breathing room was absolutely a blessing! “Honestly, Old Ma’s good. I never saw it when he was an agricultural advisor on the mountain—he’s capable. This is truly great news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su kept praising him—he’d been thinking about the Qincheng zombie horde during afternoon training, planning to send someone tomorrow or at latest the day after, but Ma Changshou had already handled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As tasks piled up, capable subordinates began stepping up, greatly reducing his workload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True. Old Ma was definitely a diligent cadre back in the village… Hmm. Good news heard. I’ve got some less pleasant news too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen, following practical judgment, chose to deliver good news before bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su nodded dramatically, knowing a camp of hundreds couldn’t avoid trouble—he gestured for Yu Wen to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This afternoon, two people took extra supplies when collecting rations. Yang Dongxin caught them red-handed. Many were watching, and those two… beat Yang Dongxin up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen stated the conflict as calmly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Combat personnel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su asked calmly. His temper had improved greatly; with more people in camp, such incidents were inevitable—if he got angry every time, he’d develop nodules. Yu Wen nodded: “Right. Two ex-members of Xiao Ying Hui. They only took two pairs of gloves, two rolls of toilet paper, and one bar of soap. Old Yang’s too responsible, but he handled it poorly—too many onlookers, and he ended up embarrassed. Still, it’s clearly their fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen understood well the importance of method—poor execution turns good deeds into disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Old Yang okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Took two punches, nose bled a bit—nothing serious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have Liu Yao… no, the first conflict must be handled seriously. I’ll deal with it myself tomorrow. Where do they live? What are their names?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su had planned to hand it to Liu Yao, but felt the first incident should be handled personally—to set a clear example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Village Two. One is Du Shi, the other is Huang Langcai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Du Shi, Huang Langcai… I don’t quite remember. How did they score on their tests?” Zhang Su had only a vague impression of the two names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Du Shi passed one test. Huang Langcai passed sprint and vertical jump.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Wen’s competence was strong—he’d clearly anticipated Zhang Su’s questions and prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder. One’s in the reserve corps, the other in the elite corps—now they’ve got guts to act so arrogantly. Well, why didn’t they pass all three? If they had, killing them as an example would’ve been perfect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su hated chaos in his domain—he must use thunderous force to warn everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Is there more?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Wen still frowning, Zhang Su knew theft and assault weren’t the real issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1150,"2026-06-20T15:15:17.100Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e170535458ba7e01ad44d66abbf6ccb4572cc60b8a45170b107667c92556e84c","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-661","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-659",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
