Chapter 194: It Might Hurt a Little

"Shh, don't make a sound!"

Zhang Su's eyes turned sharp instantly, looking straight at the direction where the sound originated, while simultaneously making a follow-me gesture to the people beside him.

As he had possessed his ability for longer and longer, he had a deeper understanding of the range of his hearing. Judging by the environmental conditions just now, the other party should be about eighty to one hundred meters away in a straight line.

Moving slowly, he didn't approach the place where the sound came from directly, but rather from a slightly offset angle. Looking from afar, sure enough, there were two people sitting on the roofs of two different courtyards. One of them had a cigarette in their mouth, while the other was hugging their arms and dozing off. In the quiet environment and cold moonlight, who wouldn't want to sleep...

Zhang Su called the others to a blind spot of the sentry's vision and pointed, saying, "That direction, three courtyards, everyone is inside!"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay!

"This... damn it, that's the southeast corner? Good heavens, these people are really cunning. No wonder we always suffer losses whenever we clash with them; they're too sly!"

Wang Xin's expression was stifled. Being enemies with such a group, it was no wonder they lost repeatedly. However, he had great doubts in his heart: why could Zhang Su grasp so much intelligence just by taking a simple look...

"Brother Su, what should we do next?"

The people who followed Zhang Su didn't feel curious, as if Zhang Su was born with the ability to see through everything.

Zhang Su grinned at Wang Xin and said, "The information was provided by Guizi. If we kill the wrong people, all the vengeful spirits will come to him for revenge."

"Who is it? It's the King of Hell coming to claim your lives!"

Zheng Xinyu remembered that that direction was Lu Yubo and Tan Huajun.

Soon, the four groups were assigned. Except for Guo Dachao and Qi Xiaoshuai who didn't need to move from their spots, the others slowly moved toward their respective positions. Wang Xin hid alone in the darkness, motionless, watching from the sidelines.

Jia Shiqin expressed his doubts with some concerns. These were living human lives; if they killed the wrong people, their conscience would be quite uncomfortable.

Open fire directly—these four words made everyone's heart tighten.

"I... this... it can't be wrong, it can't be wrong."

Three courtyards, how many people lived there was unknown. Zhang Su brought Zheng Xinyu to the southeast corner. He looked at the distance and took out the "Big Thunder" made by Yu Qing from the bag on his back.

Zhang Su snapped off the half-meter-long fuse, leaving only five centimeters. He took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it at the roof where the smoking man was!

However, before he could take any further action, he saw the smoking man on the roof suddenly turn on a flashlight, shine it in one direction, and shout angrily, "Who is it?"

Immediately following that, Zhang Su took another grenade from his waist, pulled the pin, and threw it at the person dozing off!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Since the other party had already discovered their own people, let's do it!

"Let's not talk about useless things. I'll assign the groups: Teacher Yu and Jia Shiqin in one group, guarding the northeast corner; I and Xinyu..."

Zhang Su didn't hesitate anymore and let out a loud roar.

The sentry shouted in alarm, and the flashlight beam shone toward the direction of the shouting.

"Understood!"

"Guizi, your mission is already complete, there's nothing left for you to do. The eight of us will split into four corners in a moment to block all paths. As soon as you see anyone running out of the courtyard, open fire directly!"

"Yes, Brother Zhang, if there's anything you need me to do, just order it!" Wang Xin felt that he should show his worth at a time like this.

Wang Xin, hiding in the dark, twitched his lips, secretly terrified. The King of Hell is indeed the King of Hell!

"Brother Su, this... we won't be looking for the wrong people like Beitaziying, right?"

"Bozi and Old Tan have been exposed!"

Wang Xin was dumbfounded and waved his hands repeatedly to indicate it couldn't be wrong.

A battle is not a tug-of-war; there's no need to shout "one, two, three" when starting.

The "Big Thunder" drew an arc under the illumination of the flashlight. The smoking man didn't even see clearly what it was, thinking a coconut had flown over, and it landed accurately on the roof!

"Not good! Run..."

When he saw the "coconut" with a smoking fuse, a chill rose from his butt crack, and all the hair on his body stood up. He couldn't care less how high the house was and jumped down.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

*Boom!!! *

A firelight shot into the sky, and the huge sound shook people's hearts. The people guarding the four corners felt the ground tremble and couldn't help but look at each other. This power... could it be a bit too big?

Facts proved that "Big Thunder" is "Big Thunder." If a grenade is a five-year-old child dancing around with a wooden stick, then "Big Thunder" is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager hacking blindly with a sharp axe!

There wasn't even a scream, or perhaps it was drowned out by the sound of the explosion and collapse and couldn't be heard...

One could only see parts of the smoking man being blown off the roof to the outside of the courtyard, and several other parts were already nowhere to be seen.

The self-built houses in the countryside were made of solid materials and could withstand a magnitude six or seven earthquake without much trouble, but they couldn't withstand "Big Thunder." Following the sound of the explosion, the house collapsed in response, directly turning into a ruin. Even the courtyard wall couldn't escape and suffered a certain degree of impact.

The people living in this house were really unlucky. Even if they weren't blown to death by the "Big Thunder," they couldn't escape the fate of being crushed to death by concrete slabs!

"Damn... how much material did Yu Qing put in this!"

In the dark, Zhang Su, who threw the "Big Thunder," was so scared he covered his head. The sand and soil kicked up by the shockwave still hurt a bit when it hit his body.

He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear for his behavior of snapping the fuse just now. Fortunately, the fuse data produced by Yu Qing was reliable, otherwise, it would have been him and Zheng Xinyu who were blown to ashes!

Lu Yubo grinned and laughed: "Hehe, after being blown up by 'Big Thunder', it might hurt a little!"

Tan Huajun looked at Lu Yubo speechlessly, not knowing what to say.

"Teacher Yu, your daughter really put enough material in this..."

In the dark, Jia Shiqin said to Yu Wen with a strange expression.

Yu Wen had a complex look on his face and could only return an awkward smile.

In the distance, Wang Xin and Zhang Ya, who were left to guard the RVs, sat on the roofs of their respective vehicles, their eyes both looking toward the direction where the firelight was shining.

"It's started!"

There was irrepressible excitement in Wang Xin's voice.

Zhang Ya hugged her arms and said softly, "I hope Brother Su and the others are safe. But that explosion just now... it doesn't look like a grenade."

"Where would a grenade have such power? It must be Little Teacher Yu's 'Big Thunder'. My god, it's so satisfying, the art of explosion!"

Wang Xin stood on tiptoe and looked toward the direction where the firelight was flickering, trying to see something, but unfortunately, it was hard to get his wish.

The courtyard collapsed by the "Big Thunder" was filled with dust, and no one had escaped yet, while the courtyard where the grenade exploded caused a chorus of screams.

In an instant, Zhang Su heard dense movements in his ears. It must be that the people from Beitaziying had reacted and started to organize a counterattack.

"Flashlights!"

Following Zhang Su's shout, eight beams of light were turned on simultaneously, crisscrossing to illuminate the front and back streets of the courtyard, leaving no blind spots and making it impossible for anyone to hide.

*Bang-bang, bang! *

The timing was very precise. As the light shone, the first person rushed out of the courtyard, firing the first shot of the counterattack.

"Brothers, kill your way out, kill these sons of bitches!"

The people inside knew that tough guys had arrived, so they didn't hesitate and directly opened fire to counterattack. In fact, they had no other path to choose, because if they continued to hide in the courtyard, they might eat another grenade. Only by charging out could they have a chance of survival!

However, they didn't know what they were facing this time...

*Da-da-da, da-da-da-da... *

*Bang-bang, bang-bang... *

When the people from Beitaziying village rushed out of the small courtyard holding weapons, they were met with fierce gunfire.

The two sides seemed to be going back and forth, but in reality, it was a purely overwhelming war. In front of modern automatic rifles, homemade fire-muskets had no other path but to be beaten.

Accuracy, power, and ammunition quantity were completely on different levels...

Originally, Beitaziying still had a numerical advantage, but after the "Big Thunder" blew up a nest of people, the numerical advantage was already gone.

Feeding five bullets a day couldn't cultivate a sharpshooter, but facing the current actual combat, it was already beginning to show results.

In one round of exchange, the four people at the northwest and northeast corners emptied a magazine of bullets, and the scene was instantly clean; not a single person could be seen standing.

In the rear, at the southwest and southeast corners, guarding those who climbed over the wall, they killed five deserters!

"Surrender, we surrender!"

From the time Zhang Su threw the "Big Thunder" to the other party shouting surrender, it was no more than three minutes. Real combat was just that fast and short, and a little bit of time was enough to decide the winner!

"No surrender accepted! Reload, kill your way into the courtyard, leave no able-bodied men alive!"

Zhang Su's shout reached the ears of everyone present.

Not only did the hearts of the Beitaziying people sink, but those who followed him were also shocked.

"Brother Su, the other party surrendered..."

Zheng Xinyu couldn't help but remind Zhang Su.

"Think about when we faced the impact of the zombie horde, would the zombies accept our surrender?"

Zhang Su said loudly, not just to Zheng Xinyu, but also to tell the others.

"Right, kill them!"

Lu Yubo's head got hot. He took off the empty magazine and hung it back on his waist, changed to a new magazine, and rushed toward the courtyard. On the way, he didn't forget to fire supplementary shots at the people on the ground. He had no time to care about ammunition consumption; his eyes were red with killing.

Tan Huajun also followed. She felt that Zhang Su's words were not wrong.

"You guys are from Tianmayu, right? We can talk about this, things aren't what you think!"

This time, the voice of the person shouting inside the courtyard was even louder. They actually took out a loudspeaker, probably afraid that the other party wouldn't hear clearly.

"Tianmayu..."

Wang Xin, hiding in the corner and holding his head in fear, revealed a look of realization. He thought to himself that he finally knew the specific location of Zhang Su's camp.

However, even if he were given a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to have any crooked ideas. The people from Beitaziying in front of him were living examples.

"You shot and wounded my brothers for no reason, planted bombs on the road outside my camp, lured zombies to my camp, and you still want to talk to me? What do you have to talk to me with? I'll wipe you out!"

Zhang Su's tone was very cold, especially in this dark night filled with smoke.
