Xinyu, are you hurt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su picked up Tan Huajun’s large vernier caliper from the ground and walked toward the zombies as he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Xinyu followed Zhang Su’s steps, baseball bat on shoulder, shaking her head: “I’m tough as nails, don’t worry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four zombies—not all coming at once—were easily dispatched by Zhang Su’s trio; Lu Yubo, using the grain sampler for the first time, killed two in one go!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yubo’s face glowed with excitement as he waved the grain sampler: “Su-ge, this thing is fucking awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he’d felt himself give a light push forward—the grain sampler slid effortlessly through the zombie’s eye socket into its brain, and the zombie collapsed instantly. The kill efficiency was insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that even if he stood alone at a pass, killing a hundred zombies wouldn’t be a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t swing it around—covered in blood. Wipe it clean and stow it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su warned, then turned to see Tan Huajun already standing, supported by Zhong Xiaoshan; her face was pale, drool hanging from her lips, but her limbs moved fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already let your weapon taste blood—it works great!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed the heavy vernier caliper to Tan Huajun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Huajun took the caliper, dripping blood and unknown slime, and murmured a thanks with a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Tan, once you climb over this wall, you enter a new world. No luck, no unrealistic mercy. You don’t need ideas—but you must follow orders. Understood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su spoke seriously; he still didn’t know if he could successfully recruit her, so he hadn’t used the [Insight Tag] on her and knew little about her—hence the extra warnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Huajun nodded seriously; her curly hair bobbed comically, gray dust cascading off her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su picked up his bag, slung it on, and carefully scanned the alley. This alley was rarely used, yet the stone pavement was unusually clean—no corpses except the four zombies they’d killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed down the alley: “Go through the back gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d learned from Tan Huajun that Phoenix International Community had three exits: the main gate allowed vehicles, the side gate allowed only pedestrians and vehicles exiting, and the rear gate, adjacent to other communities, allowed pedestrians only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group moved along the community’s perimeter wall and soon reached the alley’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop! Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su spread his arms, calling out softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before them lay a narrow road barely wide enough for two cars—but the situation here was far worse than the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the left, toward the rear gate of Phoenix International, over a dozen zombies wandered; to the right, it wasn’t much better—four or five zombies loitered nearby, plus a cluster of unknown metal sheds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite them stood the wall of another community, with a rear gate not far away—but due to the angle, they couldn’t see inside, though it was safe to assume zombies lurked there too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su knew clearly: if they turned left to kill zombies, they’d inevitably draw the ones on the right. Altogether, nearly twenty zombies—this would be a serious pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they used every trick to eliminate them, they couldn’t guarantee not attracting more. If another wave emerged from either community, they’d have no escape route left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su-ge, I’ll lead the charge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his new gear, Lu Yubo was brimming with confidence and volunteered on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Too risky. Don’t be reckless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su immediately shut him down. As the leader, he bore the entire team’s fate—he couldn’t take uncalculated risks when choices existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained his assessment to the others; even Lu Yubo had to nod. He hadn’t considered any of this—he’d just thought, weapon in hand, a few zombies (even if split among them) were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Climb the wall! Climbing the wall is safest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful thought, Zhang Su decided to scale the wall into the community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Climb… the wall?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Huajun wasn’t questioning the plan’s feasibility—she was questioning her own ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality gave her no time to doubt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, three zombie laborers wearing hard hats emerged from the metal shed on the right—and this was only the start; soon, over twenty more poured out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out to be a temporary housing site for laborers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if sensing Zhang Su’s group huddled at the alley’s mouth, the zombie laborers marched straight toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Su saw this, his scalp prickled. He waved his hand, shook his head, and hissed: “Go! Zombies coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others instinctively followed Zhang Su’s gaze—over thirty zombie laborers, clad in work uniforms and hard hats, stomping toward them with unrelenting pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh—the five of them sprinted back down the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phoenix International wall was much shorter than the gas station’s—only about two meters high. Zhang Su and Lu Yubo, both tall, could reach the top with a slight hop; the top had half a meter of anti-climb spikes, but they were just for show—useless against real intruders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running dozens of meters down the alley, Zhang Su yanked off his backpack and hurled it over the wall without hesitation. He sprinted and scaled the wall easily; once inside, his heart leapt—the community had few zombies, far fewer than Sheng Qin International!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, climb up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies drew closer; everyone unleashed unprecedented strength. With Zhang Su already on the wall helping, soon all except Tan Huajun stood atop the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the zombie laborers closing in, Tan Huajun’s lips trembled with panic—but her bulky frame refused to climb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Tan, push with your feet—hurry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su knew Tan Huajun couldn’t make it alone—he and Lu Yubo each grabbed one of her arms, while Zheng Xinyu gripped the anti-climb spikes and bent low to haul her collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aowu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies lunged with foul wind—hands clawed—but missed her pants entirely, leaving only scratches on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the combined effort of Zhang Su and the two others, they yanked Tan Huajun onto the wall at the last possible second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way, Old Tan—you need to lose weight. You’re over two hundred pounds, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Su grumbled irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Huajun, pale-faced, stared down at the zombies, gasping: “N-no, not that heavy… one-sixty, maybe one-seventy… maybe I’m just wearing a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-06-20T15:15:14.526Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","80557d0938afaddc96984a502937b976125f4bd7541ee7dab630c007a192bb21","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-82","the-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-chapter-80",694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fiercest-man-in-the-end-times-cover.jpg"]
