Chapter 151: Don't Kill Good People Wrongly, Don't Let Bad People Go

"Brother Su, Brother Su!? What's wrong with you!?"

Just as Zhang Su was feeling the new world, a hand shook in front of him, scaring him to take half a step back. The scenery in his eyes moved like a camera quickly adjusting the focus, and a dizziness in his brain.

The eyes were strengthened, but other hardware performance did not match, and it would become like this...

A twelve-cylinder engine installed on the chassis of a bread van, one foot on the accelerator might fall apart directly.

Zheng Xinyu was frightened and hurriedly supported Zhang Su's shoulder, her face full of worry: "Husband, where are you uncomfortable?"

"No, no..." Zhang Su shook his head with his eyes closed, and after slowly opening them, the night vision function was still maintained, and the zoom had been released, returning to the original focal length, which made him feel much more comfortable.

"Maybe a bit low blood sugar, dizzy, come and pull me!"

Holding Zheng Xinyu's hand, Zhang Su sat back in the driver's seat, rubbed his temples, and a Snickers bar was handed to his mouth.

"Eat one, if it's low blood sugar, it will be relieved."

Zheng Xinyu nodded very affirmatively.

"Fine, you go sit down, get ready to set off!"

Zhang Su bit the Snickers bar, locked the car door, turned his head to look at the situation of the crowd and then moved the car. Looking at this, he was surprised. There were at least ten people squeezed in the car!

In addition to Zheng Xinyu, Zhong Xiaoshan, Yu Wen, Yu Qing, Zhao Dezhu who originally sat in the Mercedes RV, there were Liu Tianji, Wang Xin, the delivery boy, Jia Shiqin, Xiang Wei, and a woman who didn't know if her name was Tang Xiaoxiao or Tang Xiu!

"Why are you all squeezing into my car..."

Complaining, Zhang Su started the car. Fortunately, the load of this RV reached an amazing six tons, so he was not afraid of a few more people, just a bit crowded.

*Buzz buzz. *

The engine sounded, the car lights lit up, and Zhang Su found that the place with light source was slightly different in his eyes, still very obvious, and would not have the problem of not distinguishing the light source during night vision. The world in his eyes was very different from before, and he needed to adapt to it slightly.

He believed that this process would not be too difficult, just like going from frugality to luxury, it is a very easy thing.

"Let's go!"

After a sound, the vehicle started. Zhang Su turned his head and looked at the Jinyuan Mall where the fire was getting more and more fierce. More than twenty zombies were dancing in the firelight, seeming to be more crazy than usual, just like burning life to release the last energy.

It can be imagined that after a few hours, only a piece of scorched ruins will be left here. As for whether it will spread to Block B, or even further places, there is no way to consider it.

At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was not yet bright, and the fire of Jinyuan Mall rose into the sky, reflecting a piece of night sky red.

Three cars galloped on the deserted road under the reflection of the firelight. Zhang Su identified the direction and drove toward the camp where the cultural road regiment was stationed. Whether there was a chance to get weapons from the military camp was two things, at least go to see the situation before making plans.

"Big brother, are you... going directly to that place?"

Zhao Dezhu was very familiar with Qincheng. After seeing some landmark buildings, he guessed Zhang Su's purpose.

Zhang Su nodded, picked up the mineral water in the cup holder and took a sip, saying: "That's right, but solve one thing first!"

It was not far from Jinyuan Mall to No. 1 Wenhua Road, only about two kilometers away. Zhang Su needed to slow down a bit after having night vision, otherwise the two cars behind would be lost.

And the concealment of this ability was not as good as hearing, and it was very likely to be exposed inadvertently in daily life, and Zhang Su didn't want others to know this trump card, so he had to use some small thoughts.

Winding around, the motorcade didn't go straight to the destination. After turning a corner, Zhang Su parked the Mercedes RV in the parking lot at the gate of the furniture city!

Red Star Meilong was the largest furniture city in Qincheng. It used to open for business at 9:30 in the morning. This area was related to home decoration projects. From the sparse vehicles in the parking lot, it could be seen that there were very few people on the morning when the disaster broke out.

Even after more than half a month, there were only twenty or thirty zombies wandering nearby, and some were in relatively far places, and none were attracted by the movement of the vehicles.

*Puff puff, puff-puff! *

Without anyone explaining, everyone tacitly solved the surrounding zombies after getting off the car, and then followed Zhang Su to move toward the furniture city.

"If someone occupied this place in advance, let's be friendly. Anyway, just stay for a while and leave when it's dawn. Conflicts without value must be avoided! Is the door locked?"

Zhang Su explained things to the people around him, walked to the door and found a large iron lock hanging on the glass door.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Wang Xin volunteered, stuck the crowbar in and pried hard. *Clang*, the lock didn't break, but the door handle fell off. He touched his head awkwardly: "Can go in..."

"Either the security personnel didn't operate according to the regulations, or there were survivors who came before the power was cut off, otherwise the anti-theft gate should have fallen."

Zhang Ya seemed to know the situation here, and said in a low voice.

Everyone walked into the furniture city hall one after another, and suddenly a touch of fragrance mixed with the smell of rotten mud hit their faces, which made everyone quite unaccustomed, mainly because they were not used to the smell of fragrance.

"Holy crap, it seems that security was derelict! It doesn't look like anyone has been here..."

In the darkness, Zhao Dezhu looked around curiously with a flashlight. Although the ground was wet after the big water, there were no severed limbs and blood stains, leaving a layer of shallow mud, not even footprints!

"It's normal that no survivors came over. Food and drink are the most important supplies. There might be a little tea break here to entertain guests, but there is definitely not much. The profit of drilling here is too small, I wouldn't come either!"

Zhang Su scanned the area he could see while everyone was suspicious. It was indeed as Zhao Dezhu said, no one had been here!

"It's just... it's reasonable that there are no survivors, why are there no zombies? Such a big furniture city, not even a security guard on night duty?"

Zhang Su scanned the floor area he could see with some doubt, and there was indeed no sign of any activity, quiet and a bit weird.

Zhang Ya said: "Brother Su, the security of this kind of place doesn't necessarily have to patrol in the store. I worked at Xuri Furniture City before, and a security guard told me that they basically gathered in the monitoring room

"It's also possible the security guards didn't turn and managed to escape."

Zhong Xiaoshan added another possibility.

Zhang Su nodded: "Fine, in any case, let's be extra careful. Xiao Chen, Teacher Xiao Yu, you two keep watch here and guard the vehicles. Just now, at the entrance of Jinyuan Mall, some shark-brained idiot tried to get on the RV to steal things, but I caught him red-handed!"

"Huh?"

Everyone was surprised, having no idea that such a thing had happened.

"So that was why you jumped off the vehicle back there—to chase that person?" Zheng Xinyu realized.

Zhang Su nodded: "That's right. That person later entered Block B of the mall, so I didn't bother with him. Regardless, stay alert; other survivors are becoming increasingly dangerous now."

As time passes, the food in the hands of survivors will become scarcer and various supplies will be consumed. In the eyes of some, the danger of scavenging for supplies in a pile of zombies is far greater than fighting their own kind!

"Got it, I understand, Brother Su, don't you worry!"

Chen Hanzhou nodded in agreement, his left hand touching the USP tucked in his chest.

"Let's go, we'll go sit at that Tianliang Rosewood shop over there and settle the matters that need settling while we're at it."

After saying this, Zhang Su used his flashlight to illuminate the shop's sign and walked off first.

Leaving two people to continue keeping watch at the entrance, everyone filed inside, lit a camping lantern, and illuminated the entire shop.

"Rosewood sofa, hehe, this is the first time in my life I've sat on one! Ah... so comfortable."

Zhao Dezhu patted the hard, solid sofa armrest. Sitting down on it made his waist and back ache, but he still grinned and called it comfortable.

"Old Tan, your daughter's condition is better now, right? Ask her about what happened before, and let's get these three guys dealt with as soon as possible!"

Zhang Su hopped directly onto a long sofa and sat on the backrest, possessing quite the high-and-mighty air.

Hearing that three guys were to be dealt with, Tang Xiaoxiao and Tang Xiu immediately lost their composure, because this definitely included the two of them.

"Brother, Big Brother, we have absolutely no connection to Xiang Wei, we were just fleeing for our lives together. Everything was done by him. Every debt has its debtor, you should go find him, just find him."

"That's right, that's right, Captain Jia, you probably don't know this yet, but Xiang Wei's leg isn't injured, he's faking it. He wrapped it in gauze and put some blood on it just so he wouldn't have to work. The most disgusting part is... that blood was smeared on from a sanitary pad!"

The two women's mouths seemed to turn into machine guns, anxiously trying to distance themselves from Xiang Wei, not forgetting to snitch on him in the process.

The members of Zhang Su's team looked at each other—what kind of people were these? Truly bizarre!

"What?" Jia Shiqin looked at Xiang Wei, who was still lying to the side in a semi-conscious state, his heart surging with anger: "And here I was trusting him so much, turns out he's this kind of person!"

"Alright, alright, all of you shut your mouths. I don't believe your nonsense; let Old Tan ask her daughter!"

Tan Huajun had gradually calmed down after getting into the vehicle. Hearing the conversation, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at the daughter in her arms and said softly: "Lanlan, can you tell Mommy what happened at the mall earlier? How did Grandpa get hurt?"

Mo Qianlan's state had been relatively stable, somewhat dazed but calm, but upon hearing "mall" and "Grandpa," her emotions immediately shifted. Tears streamed down her face, her lips moved, but she couldn't speak.

Some people encounter disaster and, after struggling day by day in the apocalypse, become increasingly resilient. Everyone in the team led by Zhang Su belongs to this category.

But it cannot be ruled out that some people, after experiencing repeated mental trauma and blows, completely collapse...

Mo Qianlan was only a girl of fifteen or sixteen. Half a month ago, she was still happily attending school, perhaps even having a little boyfriend she whispered secrets to. Her life during this period was a world of difference from before. Seeing her grandfather being bitten by zombies had already brought her to the brink of collapse.

Facing this situation, everyone was at a loss. Tan Huajun held her daughter with a pained heart, comforting her in soft whispers.

"Huh." Zheng Xinyu suddenly walked up, tugged on Mo Qianlan's backpack, and said out of the blue: "Little sister, do you like Nezuko? I'm a Demon Slayer fan too. Hey, who do you think is cooler, Kyojuro Rengoku or Tengen Uzui?"

Among everyone present, only Liu Tianji, who was guarding the door, understood what Zheng Xinyu said. He nearly spat out his drink—chatting about anime at such a serious moment, was she for real?

Yet, it was precisely this sentence that made Mo Qianlan's dazed eyes suddenly clear up a bit. Through her tears, she looked at the strange sister in front of her with a kind smile, then looked at her mother, who was full of concern. Her mouth puckered, and she burst into tears.

"Crying it out is better than holding it in. Let her cry." Yu Wen said heavily.

Tan Huajun wiped the tears from her daughter's cheeks and said softly: "Lanlan, don't be afraid, Mommy is here. There are also many uncles and aunties here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"Mom!" Mo Qianlan finally spoke, then pointed at Xiang Wei on the ground: "It's him, Mom, it's him who caused it. Everything is because of him. He lit a fire to burn things, he caused Uncle Ma's death, and then he pushed Grandpa down to block the zombies. Grandpa's leg was bitten right then!"

"Dad..."

Tan Huajun closed her eyes in pain, even able to imagine her father struggling desperately, a sharp pain twisting in her heart.

"Ah?!" Jia Shiqin said with immense astonishment: "Xiang Wei actually did something like this? How, how could he..."

"How could he not..." Tang Xiu spoke up: "Xiang Wei is a piece of human trash. He forced me and Tang Xiaoxiao to be his women, promising to let him toy with us if we did so he would take us to escape. He even wanted to molest Lanlan. It was Uncle Tan who protected her with his life, or that beast wouldn't have been stopped!"

Tang Xiaoxiao also said with tears streaming down her face: "That's right, the fire in the mall was intentionally set by Xiang Wei. It scared us all to death at the time. He wanted to create chaos, then let Uncle Tan and Brother Ma block the zombies for him to buy time to escape."

"Xiang! Wei!"

Tan Huajun gritted her teeth and spat out the two words. She had killed quite a few zombies and people in these past days; at this moment, the killing intent in her eyes erupted, and she drew her short dagger and walked toward Xiang Wei.

Zhong Xiaoshan very thoughtfully took Tan Huajun's place, pulling Mo Qianlan into her arms to comfort her.

Zheng Xinyu snuck up to Mo Qianlan's side and whispered: "I think Zenitsu Agatsuma is cooler..."

"Old Tan, you're being impulsive." Zhang Su pulled out a cigarette, lit it, jumped to the ground, and stopped Tan Huajun, saying slowly.

"What... what do you mean, Brother Su? Are you not letting me kill him? He caused my father's death and wanted to defile Lanlan. I, I must kill him today!"

Tan Huajun gritted her teeth. From the outbreak of the disaster until now, she had never been this angry. Previously, killing people was often a last resort, but this time was different!

"Of course not!"

Zhang Su shook his head: "Xiang Wei certainly deserves to die, but he shouldn't go to hell in a muddled state. Also, do you really trust these two women's words that much? Shouldn't you ask Lanlan, or Xiang Wei, if these two women have done anything?"

Upon hearing Zhang Su's words, everyone's hearts chilled. He shouldn't die in a muddled state—meaning he should die with full clarity, enduring all the fear before death. As for what exactly was wrong with those two women, it remained unknown.

Precisely because it was unknown, they had to ask clearly, to avoid killing the innocent by mistake, and even more so to not let the wicked go!
