Chapter 191

"Brother Su, then what should we do? We can't find those bastards now!"

Liu Tianji was one of the members in the camp who longed for peace. Even he now longed to solve Beita Camp quickly; the feeling of having a poisonous snake staring from the dark was too terrible.

Zhang Su shook his head: "Don't be anxious. Their attack was successfully resolved by us. To repel external enemies, one must first stabilize internally. Let's guard our own territory well, and then come and play with them. If we strike blindly now, we will be led by the nose by them!"

In two consecutive clashes, the rhythm had been taken by the opponent. Zhang Su felt this feeling was very bad, but no matter how bad it was, he had to stabilize his defense now, wait for the opponent's flaw, and then kill them with one blow.

"Go, let's go to work! We'll mind our own business. Don't tell anyone about this. Just say we didn't find anything, otherwise those few powder kegs will be furious."

Zhang Su patted Little Liu's shoulder and said with a smile.

Liu Tianji chuckled, naturally knowing who Zhang Su was talking about.

When the two returned to the mountain road, everyone was working hard to clear the zombie corpses. Even the Corgi, Lucky, wasn't idle; she knew bullet casings were useful, so she was collecting empty casings everywhere and even picked up weapons left behind by someone. She didn't eat much, but she did a lot of work.

"Brother Su, any discoveries? Was it those bastards from Beita Camp who did it?"

"Oh my." Zhao Dezhu was also helping while his broken arm was in a sling. Hearing Jia Shiqin's words, he sighed: "If a horde of fifty thousand zombies attacked the city, who could hold it?"

Lu Yubo pulled a zombie corpse onto the pedal of an electric scooter, his face full of hatred.

Lu Yubo saw Zhang Su walking from the camp and stood up to ask.

"Brother Bo, aren't there as many zombies as you want nearby? Any village has thousands. Not to mention anything else, isn't there a lot of zombies in that village we passed before we came back?"

"Cheers!"

Zhang Su didn't let everyone continue working hungry and in the dark. Not only did he not let them continue working, but he also specifically ordered the cooking squad to add dishes and meals, and to hold a celebration banquet to celebrate Tianma Island defeating the first round of zombie horde attacks!

Night slowly fell. Except for the two people on duty in the monitoring room, everyone else gathered in the restaurant of the Little Lucky Homestay.

Zhang Su shook his head very naturally and spread his hands: "Didn't see any problems, even if there were, there's no direct evidence."

Jia Shiqin on the side also said: "Yes, there are four towns near us, and there are over a hundred administrative villages alone. Not to mention more, there must be fifty thousand zombies..."

The two large round tables were filled with food. It couldn't be called delicacies, but it was definitely sumptuous in the apocalypse. The most important thing was that two bottles of wine were placed for the first time!

"Brother Su, you guys also helped a lot when you came back, cheers!"

"Zhuzi, don't be a jinx. If so many zombies attack the city, the city doesn't need to be kept, right? Holding it is a fart!" Zhang Su shook his head speechlessly, admiring Zhao Dezhu's stubbornness.

"Hmph, I think it must be that group of people, otherwise where would so many zombies suddenly pop up!"

"Everyone!"

Hundreds of zombie corpses couldn't be cleared in a short while. By the time the sun slanted west, there were still at least two or three hundred corpses on the mountain road that hadn't been dragged away.

Zhang Su deliberately didn't mention the zombies they killed after the four of them returned, but no one would forget their contribution. These words sounded very comfortable, and there was a sense of fulfillment and recognition in their hearts.

"Today, with a force of less than twenty people, you successfully blocked the attack of more than eight hundred zombies (preliminary count of corpses), with zero deaths and a kill ratio as high as one to thirty-five. I dare say this achievement is absolutely awesome even if you look at the whole world! A toast to all the awesome warriors!"

Regardless of whether they believed it or not, Zhang Su didn't confirm that the horde had anything to do with Beita Camp, and everyone's mood eased slightly.

The people working felt dizzy when they heard this number.

Qi Xiaoshuai felt there was a loophole in Lu Yubo's words.

Zhang Su raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "Today I was searching for radio stations in the car and heard a broadcast released by the Qincheng Survivor Alliance, saying they successfully resisted two zombie horde attacks. That tone was quite proud."

"Hehe, that's true too. We don't have to hold on to the death. Yes, yes, yes, if there are too many zombies, we run. Hehe, good idea!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses in unison. There was no such thing as not being able to drink. In the apocalypse, alcohol was a very precious material, and being able to drink a sip to relieve stress was very rare. Except for Pang Dakun, who was recovering from injuries, even Mo Qianlan poured half a glass, about one tael.

Only Zhao Dezhu was the most depressed. He wanted to drink, but Yu Qing took away his glass on the grounds that he couldn't drink with a broken arm. He could only smack his lips bitterly and finally drank a bottle of cola to relieve his boredom.

"Mr. Zhang, although today's battle was a complete victory, the consumption of defensive facilities was quite large. Only three or five caltrops are left that can be used. We need to allocate manpower to build caltrops for a period of time in the future."

Yu Wen put down his wine glass and immediately put forward his opinion. He was mainly responsible for this aspect, so he was particularly concerned.

"The caltrops played a huge role in today's battle. Old Yu, your invention and creation have made an indelible contribution. You must carry it forward well in the future."

Zhang Su affirmed Yu Wen's contribution.

Yu Wen smiled modestly: "I also built it based on the records in books and materials, it's not my invention and creation."

"Eh, eh, Brother Su, this celebration banquet should have some programs, right? It's so boring to just eat, why not let the sister-in-law show off her singing voice?"

Lu Yubo urged.

"Come one, come one!"

"Sister-in-law, come one."

"Sister-in-law come one..."

Immediately, everyone followed suit and booed.

"You're the only one who can make trouble!" Zhang Su pointed at Lu Yubo and shook his head with a smile, then looked at Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan and said: "Which of you is willing to perform?"

At such a happy time, the two women naturally wouldn't dampen everyone's interest. The two looked at each other, and Zhong Xiaoshan stood up and said: "Then I'll make a fool of myself first."

She had been to KTV many times before, so singing was not a problem.

Zhong Xiaoshan took out her phone, checked that it still had power, found a popular internet song from before the disaster broke out, clicked on the accompaniment, and started singing.

"The dim temptation of that light in the deep sea, she thought she could grasp the bubble named love, the human heart is elusive and obscure, blue as ink, how to guess and see through the result of the story, why does splendor make people miss, why does the one who loves me give me a cage, why is waiting all in vain..."

The pleasant melody, popular lyrics, and tune made people clap and cheer in this time of lack of spiritual civilization and entertainment.

Zhang Su looked at Yu Wen with a strange expression and said: "Teacher Yu, is she singing to me?"

"Hahaha." Yu Wen laughed when he heard Zhang Su's question and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are overthinking. I think Miss Zhong's song is mainly talking about the current environment. Splendor makes people miss, waiting is in vain, how fitting it is to everything before our eyes."

Immediately after Zhong Xiaoshan, Zheng Xinyu sang a song with the same name as the homestay, "Little Lucky".

As a game streamer, she occasionally showed off her singing voice in the live broadcast room, and since this was her best song, she sang it with great style.

"Who has been guarding in place silently in the wind and rain, it turns out you are the luck I want to keep the most, it turns out that we and love were once so close, that decision to fight the world for me..."

No accompaniment, pure a cappella. Because her voice was relatively close to the original singer, the whole song was performed very well by Zheng Xinyu.

"Good, sounds good!"

"How good, it's a pity that there won't be any new songs for a long time..."

Just as the singing fell, amidst the applause, a walkie-talkie clipped to the back of Zhang Su's waist rang.

"Hello, hello, is this Brother Zhang?"

"Shh!" Zhang Su made a gesture of silence to everyone, took off the walkie-talkie, and said: "It's me, what's wrong?"

"Brother Zhang, I have a discovery here, do you want to come over?"

The speaker was Wang Xingui, his tone full of mystery.

"Just say it directly, are you afraid I'll owe you a thousand catties of grain?" Zhang Su frowned slightly. In the middle of the night, if there wasn't something extremely important, only a lunatic would run out.

"Hehehe..." Wang Xingui laughed awkwardly and said: "A brother in the village found something in a village. There was no one there originally, but you can see traces of people's activities recently!"

Everyone at Tianma Island looked at Zhang Su. This was obviously a very important piece of news.

Seeing that Wang Xingui was still being evasive, Zhang Su was very displeased and said: "Guizi, I am a person who keeps my word. Even if I go over now, if I don't verify the news, there will be no grain to pay. What do you mean? Are you planning to take a thousand catties of grain from me with a piece of news of unknown authenticity?"

"No, no, Brother Zhang, you misunderstood..."

Wang Xingui was exposed and felt embarrassed for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "No need to verify, to tell you the truth, those guys from Beita Camp are very cunning. Why can't we always find them? Because they changed their activity time. They don't go out during the day, they only move at two or three in the morning!

My brother discovered someone appearing sneakily with a small flashlight at four in the morning in... um, Xiangzhuang. My brother recognized that person's figure at a glance; it was Erhu from Beita Camp!"

"Xiangzhuang?"

Zhang Su didn't care who Erhu was. He looked at the people around him and saw that everyone had a confused look on their faces, so he pressed the talk button and said: "You come to lead the way?"

"I am of course willing to lead the way for Brother Zhang, but... that, in terms of cost?" Wang Xingui bargained with a thick face.

Zhang Su didn't mince words either: "Don't ask me for things. Wipe out Beita Camp, and I'll give you ten percent of the spoils!"

A moment later, Wang Xingui replied: "Ten percent... will that be a bit too little?"

"You only need to lead the way, I don't need you to do anything else. You get ten percent for nothing and still think it's too little? It seems I should consider trading supplies with Xidaying Village more in the future."

"Don't, don't, Brother Zhang, hehe, we will send a few more people to escort you, how about twenty percent?"

Wang Xingui became the leader of Lianhe Village, so naturally, he had to seek more benefits for the forces behind him.

"Don't make it so troublesome, just you alone, I'll just give you a little more!" Zhang Su agreed to the other party's request.

Under the bean-sized firelight, Wang Xingui's face lit up with joy, and he asked: "Then when are we leaving, is it tomorrow?"

"You'll know when we set off, I'll come to find you!"

Zhang Su didn't tell the other party the specific time, and then added: "At the latest by tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, okay."

"That's it..."

After ending the call, Zhang Su tilted his head and drank the white wine in the glass in front of him in one gulp, then reported a string of names and said: "Everyone whose name I called, check your weapons, we set off in ten minutes!"
