Chapter 182: Proactive Strike

"Let's go, we're going out to haul goods. Give it some time to charge, and we'll see when we get back!"

Experiments required a waiting process, not to be rushed. Zhang Su took people and drove away from Tianmayu.

However, just after the two cars slowly headed north, a sloppy half-grown boy suddenly emerged from a ditch by the street. His face was a mess and very dirty. He looked at the car that had turned into a small black dot with a strange expression, and then glanced at the direction of Tianmayu.

"City people are really treacherous. They lied to all of us and even caused me to give the wrong information..."

The sloppy boy's face was extremely ugly. He rubbed his face, looked around, and then stepped toward Tianmayu.

"Sister Xiaoya, do you have another keyboard? The Enter key on this one isn't working well..."

In the monitoring room, Pei Lan tapped on the malfunctioning keyboard to switch monitoring screens.

Zhang Ya had just moved her gaze away from the screen when she suddenly noticed a figure appearing in her field of vision. She frowned and said, "Don't move, don't move, look at monitor number five! Look, someone's coming!"

Pei Lan looked at the screen Zhang Ya pointed to and, without a word, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Hey, hey, someone has appeared at the foot of the mountain and is walking toward us. Someone is walking toward us, one person, one person!"

"Hey, kid, where are you from? This place is occupied. Don't break in, go back quickly!"

"Where did this brat come from?"

"Hey, hey, hey, are you deaf? I said someone is here, and you're still walking in? Go back, go back to where you came from!"

"Why are you being so fierce? Just taking a look won't kill anyone..."

The boy first sized up the man blocking the road, then poked his head to look inside the concrete brick wall, answering the question perfunctorily.

"Should we tie him up and wait for Brother Su to come back and ask?" Jia Shiqin wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously.

Jia Shiqin, who was working, saw Wang Xin walk back to the wall to start working again and asked.

Wang Xin frowned impatiently.

Wang Xin spread his hands in confusion.

Red bricks, cement, and steel bars were piled on the mountain road. A group of people were working vigorously to build a wall. After receiving the news, Wang Xin stopped his work, held his rifle, and stood in the middle of the mountain road to block the way, signaling the person to leave quickly.

"The little brat didn't do anything out of line, so there shouldn't be any threat."

The boy glanced at Wang Xin, then looked at the people working, and then left the mountain road, looking back every three steps.

The camp's weapons were relatively sufficient, but some people still hoped for peace.

"Damn, the little ghost ran fast. I can't see him anymore!"

"Huh? Since when did people live here? I came from that village over there..."

"It's better not to cause trouble."

Five minutes later, everyone saw Wang Xin walking back with a strange expression...

"Hmm... if they dare to come and rob us, we'll let them know our power!"

"But he knows our location. This is a problem!"

After saying that, he walked toward the mountain road.

"Who knows..."

Wang Xin frowned and thought for a moment, then put down his work again and said, "I'll go drag him back!"

Soon it was noon, and the two cars that went out to haul supplies returned to Tianmayu.

During dinner, everyone naturally talked about what happened in the morning.

"A boy wandered into the camp?"

Zhang Su, who was picking up food, keenly sensed that something was wrong. He stopped his chopsticks and said, "What kind of boy? Where did he come from?"

"Not long after you guys drove away, I saw a boy walking from the main road on the monitor. It seems he came from the south. I didn't see clearly; the monitor is too blurry for the main road."

Zhang Ya said.

"What did the boy look like?" Zhang Su put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up. "Forget it, let's go, take me to see the monitor!"

Those who went out to scavenge for supplies with Zhang Su were relatively sensitive to the group of boys, so they followed Zhang Su and Zhang Ya to the monitoring room.

During this time, Liu Tianji and Wang Xin were on duty. The two were very proficient in operating the monitoring software and quickly pulled up the surveillance footage of the mountain road.

"Damn!"

When Zhang Su saw the boy's dirty cheeks, he couldn't help but curse.

"Brother Su, this person... do you know him?"

Wang Xin asked tentatively.

"Damn, this brat is from the same village as the group that attacked Zhuzi. He followed our car before, and I led him to United Village. I didn't expect him to be able to find his way here!"

Zhang Su frowned as he watched the boy's sneaky behavior on the monitor, his anger flaring up.

"Brother Su, we should just kill him. Damn, in this world, let alone fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, even four or five-year-olds can't be spared!"

Lu Yu said fiercely.

He had no pity in his heart. As long as someone felt like a threat to him, his principle was to kill them all.

"Bo-zai, killing everyone you see is what zombies do..."

Zhang Su's principles were different from Lu Yu's. After leaving the city, he hoped to expand his team. Even if he couldn't recruit loyal partners, becoming allies wasn't bad, even if it was just for the sake of interest exchange.

He wouldn't care about the conflicts during their first meeting. Different positions would inevitably lead to conflicts, and he tried to solve them through civilized means.

For example, Xidaying Village, for example, United Village. He had the ability to wipe them out completely at the beginning, but he wouldn't do that.

It was the same for those two brats. When Zhang Su didn't know that they belonged to Beita Camp, the same group that attacked Zhao Dezhu and the others, he also held the idea of establishing a connection.

"Ah..." Wang Xin looked embarrassed and said sheepishly, "I, I should have detained him directly if I had known. Brother Su, this... I'm sorry."

"He must have discovered our car and then followed the vine to find his way up the mountain. Brother Su, why don't we strike first?" Qi Xiaoshuai's eyes were full of anxiety.

The place where they lived was exposed, which was a hidden danger after all.

Zhang Su let out a long breath and said, "This brat must have a problem. Eat, we'll set off for Beita Camp in the afternoon. We can't wait for danger to find us!"

Since the other party had found their way to their doorstep, Zhang Su concluded that the people of Beita Camp didn't intend to let the previous matter go. Since that was the case, the grievances between the two sides were initiated by the people of Beita Camp, so he naturally wouldn't be a coward!

"Good!"

"Let's do it..."

"They hurt my brother Zhuzi and dared to find their way to our door. Let's kill them!" Lu Yu's face was full of ferocity.

They finished eating quickly. Zhang Su called Zheng Xinyu, Lu Yu, Pang Dakun, Tan Huajun, and Qi Xiaoshuai to set off together. Whether it was a firefight or killing zombies, the combat power of six people was quite impressive.

"Damn, big brother, my leg is healed, why don't you, sigh..."

Zhao Dezhu was annoyed. He also wanted to go, but unfortunately, Zhang Su didn't take him. He wanted to argue a few words, but seeing Zhang Su's rare cold gaze, he swallowed the second half of his sentence.

"Five magazines per person, check your equipment!"

Zhang Su stood by the car and ordered very seriously.

Everyone knew what Zhang Su and his group were going to do this time, and their expressions were very heavy.

Fighting zombies, as long as it was planned, the risk was basically controllable, but conflicts and contradictions with other survivor factions were hard to say.

Although everyone had great confidence in Zhang Su and his group, who hadn't had some skills to survive in this shitty apocalypse?

Being confident but not arrogant was the most basic principle.

"Mr. Zhang, the other party is deep in schemes, be very careful." Yu Wen urged with great concern. He wanted to follow, but he also knew that his old arms and legs were okay fighting zombies, but not so much fighting people.

"Brother Su, Xinyu, you guys be careful, everyone be careful."

Zhong Xiaoshan walked up and tightened Zhang Su's gun strap herself, her face full of worry.

The better the life they lived, the less they wanted to have disputes with people, but sometimes the trees wanted to be still but the wind wouldn't stop, and things would always find their way to the door.

"Don't worry, everyone don't worry! You guys do what you need to do, and don't slack off on the camp's defenses, you know?"

Zhang Su sat in the car and urged everyone.

Everyone nodded and watched the Prado and the van slowly drive away from the homestay area.

Yu Wen and Yu Qing moved the roadblocks away from the gate for the cars.

"Brother Su, be careful!"

When the car passed the gate, Yu Qing said softly to Zhang Su in the driver's seat.

Zhang Su looked at Yu Qing. If it were before, she would have come up with a lot of dissuasion, saying things like "put down the butcher's knife," "when will the grievances be settled," or "it's better to resolve grievances than to settle them."

This time was different. There was coldness and firmness in her eyes.

"Don't worry, take good care of my brother Zhuzi."

Zhang Su left Yu Qing with a smile.

The car drove away. Qi Xiaoshuai, who was in the same car, looked at the rearview mirror and said, "Brother Su, Teacher Yu really has changed... If she hadn't met you, she definitely wouldn't have survived."

"Everyone has their own faith. She sticks to her faith but doesn't hold the team back. Last time in Beidong Town, when I asked her to kill to establish authority, she was able to figure it out and take action, which proves that she has understood this world now."

Not everyone could kill without blinking, and the process of change would vary from person to person.

The car drove down the mountain. Zheng Xinyu suddenly realized, "Hey, Brother Su, do you know how to get to Beita Camp?"

"How would I know? But someone knows. Just find a guide."

Zhang Su took out a cigarette and lit it, turning south very naturally. He knew the general direction, but it was better to be sure of the specific location.

"Brother Su, Brother Su, where are we going?"

Soon, Lu Yu's voice came from the car behind.

"Going to United Village to find someone to lead the way!"

After Zhang Su answered, he stepped on the gas to increase the speed and rushed to Beidong Town quickly.
