Chapter 185: Big Thunder!

After dinner, Zhang Su personally brought food and walked to the guest room in Little Lucky where Guo Dachao and Yang Wenjie were under house arrest.

"Want to eat?"

Zhang Su entered the room and placed a large bowl of egg noodles on the table.

Egg noodles sprinkled with green onions and floating with sesame oil might not have been attractive before the disaster broke out, but at this moment, the fragrance filled the nasal cavities of Guo Dachao and Yang Wenjie, hooking their gluttony and causing their stomachs to growl and swallow saliva constantly.

"Want to eat..."

Guo Dachao answered very honestly, his eyes staring straight at the large bowl of noodles.

"Answer me a few questions first, and this bowl of noodles is yours."

"Okay, okay, brother, you ask, we'll say it all!"

Under the eaves, one had to bow their head. Besides, there was delicious food in front of them, no need to be reserved.

"There are no signposts on the road, how did you find your way here?"

Zhang Su didn't doubt Old Li's ability to lead the team. With Old Li's cunning character, plus the combat power of the team, it certainly wouldn't be bad.

Of course, it wasn't because he hoped United Village would be kind-hearted, but if United Village focused on farming and raising livestock, it would become a very good trading partner in the future.

???

Zhang Su asked very frankly.

"That, brother, are there any more questions?"

Guo Dachao and Yang Wenjie looked at each other.

Zhang Su nodded. Standing in his position to look at the Survivor Alliance, it seemed very domineering, but this was the way of survival in the apocalypse, and the distinction between inside and outside was very clear.

Speaking of this made the two quite helpless. In this world, there were people who used various means to get supplies, such as stealing, robbing, looting, and cheating. Compared with them, the people in Xidaying Village were already very gentle.

Guo Dachao recalled and said.

"It seems I thought too much. The disaster broke out without warning. The barracks were densely populated and would be quite tragic..."

Zhang Su thought from another perspective. If it were him, would he risk his life to avenge a companion he had only known for two days? The answer was no, even if there was no life risk, it depended on whether it was in his interest...

Through the narration of the two, he had a preliminary understanding of the Survivor Alliance. However, he had no intention of entering the city anyway. As long as those people didn't come north to cause trouble, there would be no intersection.

"Beidong Town? No... a dilapidated town, desolate, no zombies, no people, and no supplies."

"Heard of it, what's wrong? Is there a large survivor gathering place there?" Guo Dachao asked with hope.

"Eat, talk while eating."

Zhang Su took out a cigarette case and threw two cigarettes to Guo Dachao and Yang Wenjie very generously.

"When you came out of the city, did you meet any villagers collecting tolls when crossing the bridge?"

"Attitude? Unless you hide and don't show your face to survive north of Construction Street, otherwise, if you are discovered, there are only two choices: either join the Survivor Alliance, or leave. If you join, hand over half of the supplies; if you are expelled, take everything away..."

"Uh..." Guo Dachao choked a little, patted his chest, and said: "We hid from them. We only know that the captains of the Survivor Alliance all have guns. I heard that they plan to clear out the Third Hospital in the future. We don't know anything else."

"Stop dreaming. We've been there. These guns were gotten from there. There are only three soldiers left in total!"

The Third Hospital of Qincheng was not far from the Lego Mall, connected by a pedestrian street in the middle.

Zhang Su asked next.

Guo Dachao and Yang Wenjie looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Brother, we were at fault first at the time, and your companion fought back normally. I might not believe it if I say so, but we really didn't feel anything at the time. The companion who was shot was named Xiaoteng. In the end, he didn't say anything about revenge, just said he was unlucky and admitted defeat..."

Guo Dachao nodded and said: "We met them. They were people from Xidaying Village. They said that we had to pay supplies to cross the bridge. They took a box of instant noodles and a box of milk powder from our car. They had guns, we had no choice..."

Zhang Su sat on the side watching the two eating ravenously and asked.

Several people lit cigarettes one after another. Guo Dachao said: "Over there... the Fenglin Homestay over there was opened by my friend in partnership with others. When it was just built at the end of last year, I stayed here for a few days, so I remember this place... Actually, I also came here to try my luck. If Tianmayu had fallen, I planned to go north directly to Qingxian. There is a barracks there, which might be better."

"What is the attitude of the Survivor Alliance toward other survivors?" Zhang Su asked.

"Do you know any other news about the Survivor Alliance?"

He only hoped that Old Li could achieve something. After all, he had invested a 【Loyalty Brand】 in Old Li!

"Yes, people always have to live..."

"The barracks will be better..." Zhang Su scratched his head helplessly and said: "Do you know that a regiment is stationed at No. 1 Wenhua Road in Qincheng?"

Guo Dachao's attention had always been on the egg noodles.

"Then did you encounter any situation when passing by Beidong Town later?"

Zhang Su pushed the large bowl, a very solid portion, enough even for Zhao Dezhu, who had the biggest appetite.

People are just that realistic, and survival in the apocalypse is only more realistic.

Guo Dachao looked back and said: "The day we snatched the car... the four of us had only been together for two days, and we didn't know each other before. Brother, are you worried that we will avenge our companion? Don't worry, we won't do that. We just want to live well."

"We studied your two's affairs before. Recruiting newcomers is a matter that tests trust very much. Regarding the killing of one of your team members at the beginning, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Su licked his lips and asked: "What was your relationship with him before?"

"A survivor team stayed in the barracks. There weren't many people at the time, only ten or so. Relying on the supplies in the barracks, they should have developed, right."

To live, what a simple appeal.

Zhang Su nodded thoughtfully. It seems that United Village really doesn't do highway robbery anymore, which is good news for him.

"I can give you a chance!"

Zhang Su said slowly: "You can see that our safe camp is building, and we are relatively short of manpower. You can stay and work, you can get food security, you cannot carry weapons, and there will be certain restrictions on your actions. Is there any problem?"

"Work? Fine, as long as there is a bite to eat, we will work if you let us work!"

Guo Dachao didn't express any objection. After fleeing for more than a month, he was really tired. Now, as long as there was a stable environment to live like a human being, it was enough. Limited action was nothing. Entering someone else's base and losing a certain degree of freedom before gaining trust was normal.

Yang Wenjie naturally had no objection, and she was very active in asking Zhang Su about the specific content of the work.

Zhang Su was very satisfied with the attitude of the two. Snatching the car was very bad, but it was still a matter of position, which didn't mean Guo Dachao and Yang Wenjie were bad people. On the contrary, he felt that the two were quite pragmatic and hoped that they could integrate into the camp.

The next day, Guo Dachao and Yang Wenjie officially invested in the construction of the Tianmayu Safe Camp. Guo Dachao was arranged to mix cement and build walls, while Yang Wenjie worked on logging and making roadblocks.

Zhang Su's mission had changed slightly. Niuquanzi Town still had about half left to be moved, but the top priority now was to find the traces of the group from Beita Camp.

However, unexpectedly, the group from Beita Camp seemed to have disappeared. Five days had passed, and there was not a single trace, and even the people in United Village hadn't found any news about Beita Camp.

It was as if those people had suddenly disappeared from this land, so unnatural, so sudden.

Just when everyone thought Beita Camp had retreated in the face of difficulties and stopped, something happened.

This morning, Zhang Su was preparing to go out to sweep for goods as usual, when he saw Zhao Dezhu and Yu Qing walking toward him happily.

"Big brother, good morning. Haha!"

"Zhuzi, what's wrong with you guys, what's so happy?"

"Look, my wife made it, big thunder!"

While speaking, Zhao Dezhu took out a lump of dirt from behind him like a magic trick, with a braid a foot long on his head.

"Big thunder?"

Zhang Su's mouth twitched. He carefully took the round lump of dirt. It was two circles larger than his fist, like a small watermelon, and a bit heavy, estimated to be two pounds.

"It's a bomb. Zhuzi insisted on giving it a strange name. Conditions are limited, there's no way to make a stable trigger bomb, so we can only make this kind of relatively primitive fuse-delayed explosion bomb. Brother Su, do you want to try its power?"

Yu Qing pointed to the direction of the mountain stream.

"Haha, it's not bad to have it. The fuse is good, safety first... it won't blow the mountain flat, will it?"

Zhang Su suddenly became interested, and while talking, he walked toward the mountain stream.

"Big brother, you are simply wishful thinking. If you rub all the raw materials you brought back into bombs, it is estimated that it will only scrape the mountain. No, it can't even be called scraping, at most it's scratching an itch."

Zhao Dezhu talked eloquently.

"You don't have confidence in your wife's craftsmanship. By the way, this fuse is quite long. What is the safety distance?"

Zhang Su weighed the big thunder and asked.

"One hundred meters, it's best to place it at a fixed point. I have debugged the burning of the fuse, basically one centimeter per second, and this fuse is forty centimeters."

"One hundred meters of safety distance, okay, I know!"

Zhang Su calculated slightly in his heart and immediately got the answer. One hundred meters would take at most fifteen seconds at the slowest, and the safety of the fuse was enough.

"Hey, Brother Su, what are you going to do?"

"Brother Su, what's in your hand?"

"Damn, you guys aren't going to test a bomb, are you?"

After a while, the actions of Zhang Su and his group attracted the attention of others, and seven or eight people who were watching the fun followed.

"Big brother, I'll do it, I'll light it."

Arriving at the place, Zhang Su found a relatively open gravel ground, put the big thunder down, and Zhao Dezhu enthusiastically volunteered to light the first shot.

"Is your leg healed or not? You light it, wait for a fall, are you looking for death?"

Zhang Su looked at Zhao Dezhu's injured leg with distrust.

"I'm flying fast, okay? Look, jump... run, no problem!"

Zhao Dezhu demonstrated on the spot.

Seeing that he had indeed recovered as before, Zhang Su didn't insist. While walking, he said to everyone: "Back off, back off, the power is huge, don't count it as a work injury if you get hurt."

"Really? Brother Su, how much power can that lump of dirt have?"

"I believe it, Brother Su, I really believe it."

From the reactions of the crowd, it could be seen that they didn't have much confidence in the earth thunder placed on the ground, but because Yu Qing was standing on the side, it was not easy to make jokes unscrupulously.

Taking the crowd to a hundred or eighty meters away, Zhang Su waved to Zhao Dezhu.

"Watch it, you guys!"

Zhao Dezhu had been looking forward to it for a long time. He bent down to light the fuse and turned to run, running into the crowd with flying speed. It could be seen that the injury had indeed healed.

Others couldn't see the burning of the fuse, but Zhang Su could, and he was counting silently. The burning speed was exactly the same as what Yu Qing said.

Waiting quietly.

When the fuse burned out, the expected explosion did not come. Just when someone was about to tease...

*Boom! *

A huge sound echoed in the mountain stream, gravel flew, and smoke filled the air.

Some people who had already relaxed were startled, and even those working in the camp were shocked.

"No."

Yu Qing was the first to speak, rubbing her head and saying: "The power is much smaller than expected. The killing radius just now is at most ten meters..."

Although the sound was loud, the actual explosion effect was unsatisfactory.

"Uh..." Zhang Su encouraged: "Actually, it's okay. The killing radius of a grenade is about the same. It's just that as a delayed explosion bomb, the power can indeed be larger."

"Look, I said it was scratching an itch for the mountain, hehe... It's okay, wife, keep working hard."

Zhao Dezhu awkwardly smoothed things over for Yu Qing.

"With the explosion as a reference, it will be easier to debug later." Yu Qing was very confident and didn't care about failure. It was difficult for this kind of thing to succeed at once.

First test explosion, success, power, slightly insufficient.

This was a process from zero to one. When there was one, the subsequent improvements would be relatively easy.

Zhang Su took people and drove away from the camp, preparing to clean up Niuquanzi Town.

"Big brother, celebrate my re-expedition today, and we will definitely return fully loaded!"

On the van, Zhao Dezhu shouted happily with the walkie-talkie.

In view of his performance of jumping around in the mountains and forests before, Zhang Su finally agreed to let him go out again.

"Uncle, this shows that there is not much oil left, we have to find a place to refuel the car."

Pang Dakun sat in the passenger seat of the Prado. He and Zhang Su chose to ignore Zhao Dezhu's showing off.

Zhang Su looked down at the fuel gauge and nodded: "There are abandoned cars in Niuquanzi Town, just pump the oil out."

While talking, the two cars drove onto the self-built road in the field.

However, just as they were about to drive onto the main road, an accident happened.

Zhang Su, who was driving in front, looked into the distance, habitually collecting road information. Suddenly, a few pieces of out-of-place dirt appeared in the corner of his eye. Looking sideways, there seemed to be traces of being turned over by the side of the self-built road.

If he didn't walk this road every day, Zhang Su wouldn't have noticed such a slight change. Just as he hadn't had time to think about why the soil layer was turned over here, the car drove over the place where the soil was turned over.

A slight sound entered Zhang Su's ears, a very strange sound, but this revealed an unusual touch!
