Su Ge, do I look like a special police officer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speaking of special police… I wonder how Officer Qin and the others are doing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu pulled out a riot shield and swung it around, finding it awkward, then put it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way, Su Ge, you guys really have ties to special police?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu bo instantly looked at Zhang Su with worshipful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One special police officer escaped the compound ahead of us, heading in a different direction. His team had plenty of people, but only two or three were actually useful. Forget about them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su didn’t want to dwell on those people—he believed Qin Ya couldn’t properly protect the group, and they might end up getting caught in an accident because of the liabilities, Yu Nuo and Liu Xuanyu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget the rubber batons. Take the shield and the high-intensity flashlight. Xiao Bo, Old Tan, come with me—I’ll get you two weapons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Zhang Su led the two toward his van.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, Su Ge, I knew you had something good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside the van, Lu Yu bo rubbed his hands together, his face filled with eager anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The best weapon is yourself, idiot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su crouched and rummaged inside the van, muttering irritably, then pulled out an object that left both of them baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, Su Ge, what the hell is this? A death hoe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu bo stared at the massive, hoe-shaped weapon in Zhang Su’s hand, amazed—but why did it have markings on it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hoe your sister’s head… this is a vernier caliper, for measuring! Here, Technician Tan, perfect for your profession—great for smashing zombies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su happily handed the giant vernier caliper to Tan Hua jun, who stared at it in utter confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, why… why do you have this in your van? Are you an engineer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua jun had seen vernier calipers before, but never imagined she’d see one this huge in her lifetime. Someone who used such a caliper was usually no ordinary person—definitely a senior engineer. But how did a senior engineer drive a small van?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary vernier calipers were about thirty centimeters long; even the larger ones rarely exceeded fifty. The one in Tan Hua jun’s hands now was a full 1.2 meters—capable of measuring objects up to one meter long!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Lu Yu bo mistook it for a hoe—it did look similar. Now held by Tan Hua jun, its bizarre shape looked especially ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, self-defense weapon!” Zhang Su grinned. “It’s not illegal—even if Uncle checks the car, it’s fine. Keeps me feeling safe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, of course! Su Ge clearly a cultured man—carrying a vernier caliper makes perfect sense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu bo was quick with his flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’re so good at talking, here, take this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Zhang Su tossed a straight steel pipe to Lu Yu bo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu bo held the pipe—it was about a meter long, with a grip on one end and a pointed tip on the other. Long grooves ran along its length. He tested the tip with his fingers—it was razor-sharp. Anyone stabbed by this would surely be left with a bloody hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a son of farmers, carrying a grain sampling device makes perfect sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su explained, though this wasn’t an ordinary grain sampling device—the key difference was the material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grain…” Lu Yu bo’s scalp prickled—he hadn’t expected this thing came from a grain silo. He looked at Zhang Su with deep admiration: “Su Ge, you really impress me—you always manage to get your hands on these weird, bizarre things!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough with the flattery. This grain sampling device has a simple use—you must get used to stabbing zombies in the head, got it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su demonstrated the motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to serious business, Lu Yu bo learned with full concentration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Tan, yours is simpler. Call it a vernier caliper if you want, but use it like a pry bar or a hoe. The jaws were made with special material—super strong. Smash a zombie’s skull, it’ll crack like a walnut!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su had full confidence in his van’s weapons. He’d never shown them to anyone lightly—only bringing them out in the most desperate moments. They’d sat idle since being forged, until now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yu bo wasn’t good at academic learning, but when it came to fighting, he was a natural—he quickly mastered the stabbing technique and looked surprisingly competent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Hua jun was less skilled. Swinging the vernier caliper, she moved clumsily—seen from afar, she looked like a penguin waving a hoe, utterly comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiaoshan, help guide Technician Tan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su rubbed his temples, pained by Tan Hua jun’s awkward posture. He wanted to see how this fat lady would actually kill a zombie with a steel bar—and even began doubting whether she’d lied…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the zombie bodies by the flower bed had indeed been killed by eye stabs—no faking that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, everyone practiced weapon use beside the convenience store, grunting and groaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su used this time to learn in detail from Tan Hua jun about Phoenix International Community and her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the silent world, it felt as if only these few humans remained—when suddenly Zhang Su tensed. Just as he called everyone back to the convenience store for cover, something unexpected happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, the feasibility of any plan dropped drastically—too many unpredictable variables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su had considered the possibility of someone passing the gas station without noticing, entering to loot, or even robbing it—but what was about to happen was beyond his imagination!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group ran toward the side door of the convenience store, a screeching sound of tires grinding on asphalt echoed across the silent street—like a ghost’s shriek, jolting their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, get inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing everyone freeze, Zhang Su urged them urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my god!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu, the last to enter the store, turned toward the street—and saw a horrifying sight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of car collisions, a burning GL8 appeared on the street in front of the gas station. The vehicle suddenly swerved, trying to leap over the greenery and charge into the gas station—but for unknown reasons, it flipped sideways right at the station’s exit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help! Anyone! Save me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man, half-covered in blood, crawled out of the driver’s seat and screamed desperately, running toward the convenience store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man didn’t notice Zhang Su and the others—he simply wanted to reach shelter to save himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, fate mocked him. His frantic screams attracted the zombies that followed closely. Combined with his injuries and unsteady steps, he stumbled and fell—and was quickly overwhelmed by the horde. His desperate struggles were futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the zombies could feast, the burning car exploded in a burst of flame, blasting away over a dozen nearby zombies. Fortunately, it was far enough from the fuel pumps—otherwise, the entire gas station would’ve gone up in flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chain of events unfolded within half a minute. Zhang Su’s group huddled beneath the convenience store’s wall, watching the gathering zombies, their scalps prickling with dread!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1200,"2026-06-20T15:15:14.526Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f2d768bbcdf51ddf93089f4020767190815f82fbef53b75d80f8b781a8d069cb","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-80","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-78",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
