Chapter 237: Capturing Zombies

"Momma!"

The expression on Zhao Dezhu's face was uglier than crying. Ignoring the bet, he ran toward the distance. First, he had to ensure he wouldn't lure more zombies!

"Damn, this is a living disaster!"

Zhang Su had a look of seeing a ghost. He had guessed that Zhao Dezhu might cause trouble, but he hadn't expected the trouble to be this big!

Eleven zombies, among them three petrified-skin zombies. This ratio was still normal and within an acceptable range...

The three of them moved calmly, grabbing their weapons and heading to meet the direction Zhao Dezhu was running. It was impossible to let him risk his life alone; they would settle this score with him after returning to camp!

Psssh!

Zhang Su reached close range and encountered the fastest ordinary zombie. Because it was obsessively chasing Zhao Dezhu, he ambushed it from the side, stabbing a steel bar through the gap in its skull, piercing its brain cleanly and efficiently.

Bang.

Zhang Su gripped the iron rod tightly to remind everyone.

"The attack power of these zombies is too strong; both offense and defense have been improved! No wonder United Village couldn't hold them off and even got set on fire. It's terrifying just thinking about it."

"It seems possible. Open the door and try?" Chen Hanzhou suggested.

Duan Wuhu ran back to his residence in a hurry, bringing the news to Fu Weijun immediately.

"Caught? Let's go, quick, take me to see!"

Yu Qing was also confused and wanted to understand what had happened.

"We're here, we're here! Brother Zhang, we're here!"

Unexpectedly, just as he finished cursing, the carriage fell silent.

"Be careful when you handle the zombies; petrified-skin zombies are different from ordinary ones!"

Fu Weijun nodded very politely to Zhang Su.

Just as Zhang Su was giving instructions, Duan Wuhu pushed Fu Weijun over, moving quickly—the wheelchair was moving faster than a bicycle.

Everyone looked at each other. They knew Zhao Dezhu was very capable, but they hadn't expected him to be so unreliable when doing things.

Suddenly, Zhang Su felt something in his heart. He turned his head and happened to see Zhao Dezhu sneaking away.

"Hmph hmph..." Zhang Su smiled and shook his head. "Although I don't have the right to deprive everyone of the freedom to drive, I sincerely suggest that no one should let Pillar drive in the future. Also..."

The two turned their heads to look. Chen Hanzhou moved quickly, rushing to Zhao Dezhu's side in a single stride. Liu Tianji was a beat slower but also chased after him.

"Seems a bit grayish?"

"What are you doing? I'm not running, I just need to pee. Seriously, brother, a few packs of cigarettes, is it worth it..."

Thump.

Zhang Su guessed that this might be a kind of energy-saving program.

Zhang Su released the steel ring. The zombie struggled but couldn't even stand, falling directly to the ground, twisting and turning like a giant silkworm cocoon. Its hands and mouth, which possessed attack capabilities, had completely lost their utility, essentially losing their threat.

The zombie fell to the ground.

"Mr. Zhang, then I'll head over first. Thank you again!"

Lu Yubo and the people from United Village hadn't returned yet. Almost everyone remaining in the camp gathered around the vehicle. It was the first time they had seen mutated zombies, and they felt it was very fresh, discussing it quite enthusiastically.

"This shitty thing has so much strength!"

"Little Chen, Little Liu, hold that guy down!"

Subsequently, Zhang Su recounted the glorious deeds Zhao Dezhu had done along the way. This time, he really didn't save face for him.

"Brother Su, this guy is too violent. How are we going to get it back? Won't it tear the car apart?"

"I've figured it out. I'm only suited to be a warrior. From now on, I'll be the one charging into battle, but planning and leading teams can be left to others. That's fine, right, brother?"

Zhang Su naturally wasn't idle either. His task was the most important: capturing the petrified-skin zombie. With a steel rod in one hand and a riot fork in the other, after dealing with two ordinary zombies, he focused entirely on dealing with the petrified-skin zombie in front of him!

Everyone worked together, using long enough ropes to tie the zombie tightly from a distance, even binding a piece of steel bar to its mouth, which was bitten until it made a crunching sound.

"Alright!"

Because there were still many zombies wandering in the distance, the fighting process was very restrained. Their expressions were somewhat distorted, but they didn't make a single extra sound; only the sound of weapons destroying tissue echoed.

Just as the zombie let out a roar, the riot steel ring instantly bound onto its body, and its movements were controlled again. It was so angry that it scratched and clawed wildly, its eyes emitting a terrifying scarlet light.

Yu Wen was very nervous. He had already accepted this son-in-law and didn't want to see anything happen to him.

Zhang Su parked the car, instructed everyone to move aside, and then had Chen Hanzhou and the others prepare before pressing the door-opening button.

Awoo!

"Hey!"

"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong with Little Zhao?"

Zhao Dezhu's face was red. The series of things he had done today were indeed not honorable, and he had self-awareness.

Bang bang bang!

The locked-up zombie naturally wouldn't be obedient. Freed from the restraint of the steel ring, it frantically pounded on the garage door, roaring while filled with resentment and anger.

Several people looked at each other.

The one-armed Chen Hanzhou's combat strength was equally formidable. He already had a foundation in karate, and after losing half an arm, he had frantically trained the other. With the fire axe swinging in his "Qilin arm," he was completely on par in a one-on-one fight with a petrified-skin zombie, needing only a little time to kill it!

"Try it first!" Zhang Su said. "Little Chen, go open the RV's tail box. The button is at the position of the left knee; you'll see it as soon as you look!"

"Ordinary zombies remain manic for about four or five minutes after losing their target. Could it be that this kind of zombie stops moving once it's enclosed?"

After speaking, Fu Weijun turned his direction, rotating his wheelchair toward Cuilengxuan.

Zhao Dezhu was caught and scratched his head in extreme embarrassment.

"Hey, this zombie is timid, it got scared..."

Fighting and retreating all the way, by the time they retreated to the vicinity of the RV, except for the petrified-skin zombie that Zhang Su had firmly trapped with a special riot fork, all the others had been eliminated. This accident was successfully resolved.

"Weijun, Brother Zhang is back, and he brought back a petrified-skin zombie!"

Fu Weijun sat in his wheelchair, impatient, wishing he could stand up immediately and walk over to start studying the petrified-skin zombie.

"What's the difference between this zombie and an ordinary one? Besides strength, is there anything else?"

"Everyone spread out a bit!"

Zhang Su gripped the iron rod tightly, trying his best to control the manic zombie. Fortunately, it was high-quality riot equipment; if it had been replaced with an ordinary net for catching dogs, it would have broken free in minutes!

Seeing this, Zhao Dezhu and the others hurriedly gripped the iron rod together, controlling the zombie.

"Arrogant, aren't you? Can't get out now, eh? Hehe, wait until we go back and slice you up for research!"

"Stay back a bit, everyone be careful, this zombie has a lot of strength!"

In the room, Fu Weijun, who was rewriting his experimental notes, heard the news, dropped his pen directly, and used both hands to turn his wheelchair to go outside.

"Don't just watch the fun, Luezi, go get something to tie it up! Also, someone go notify Dr. Fu."

"Coming, the rope is coming!"

Zhao Dezhu pointed to the carriage in embarrassment.

Zhang Su and the others knew he was joking, but the behavior of the zombie suddenly becoming quiet still made them feel very curious.

"Thanks for the reminder!"

Tan Hua felt the force on the iron rod and was somewhat worried.

"Mr. Zhang, it's really too much trouble, but I have to trouble you again. Can you give me a quiet room? Also, it might be necessary to bind this zombie."

"Whoa, husband, you guys are so amazing, you really brought it back. Eww, this zombie is so fierce!" Zheng Xinyu held a screwdriver; she had just been modifying the anti-horse obstacles at the mountain gate and had run over following the car.

Zhang Su was also noticing this phenomenon for the first time. Thinking it over carefully, he found that entrusting Zhao Dezhu to execute a task alone often led to problems. This made him cautious: from now on, whenever there was an important task, he must never let Zhao Dezhu handle it alone!

Zhang Su gave an instruction.

The culprit who caused this accident, Zhao Dezhu, who also only had one good arm, kept a straight face and didn't say a word. With the steel rod in his hand, he stabbed and poked, taking out three ordinary zombies and one petrified-skin zombie by himself, fighting and retreating, and soon left three ordinary zombie corpses in the field!

"Little Zhao's mentality is still not stable!"

Zhao Dezhu shook his head endlessly.

As the RV garage door slowly opened, the originally quiet zombie suddenly became manic.

Awoo, awoo!

The zombie trapped by the steel ring was quite manic, twisting its body non-stop, waving its hands in the air, and continuously scratching toward Zhang Su, who was two meters away, but it couldn't get close at all because it was being held back by the rod.

"There seem to be some spots on the skin!"

Wu Lue trotted all the way, carrying a bundle of hemp rope in his hand.

The four of them quickly returned to the car, stepped on the gas to turn the car around in the field, and returned to the road from the direction they came, without causing any unnecessary trouble.

Zhao Dezhu panted heavily. Killing zombies was simple, but capturing one alive had exhausted him.

Chen Hanzhou ran to the car quickly, and after a simple operation, the RV garage door slowly lifted.

"No, no, no." Zhang Su shook his head repeatedly, pointing to the distance. "It's too dangerous here. If all the zombies over there are lured over, it will be trouble. Let's talk about it when we get back!"

"The room has already been prepared for you, right at the corner of the second floor of Cuilengxuan over there. Luezi, get a cart to help Dr. Fu push the zombie over!"

Zhang Su and Zhao Dezhu worked together, Tan Hua stood guard on the side, and Chen Hanzhou was ready to close the door at any time. With the four of them working together, they finally managed to push the zombie into the garage.

In close-quarters combat, fortunately, the combat power of the four people on Zhang Su's side was extremely formidable. Fighting and retreating, they didn't show any signs of decline at all!

After more than two months of various training, Tan Hua was no longer the fat woman who struggled to climb a wall. She wielded a vernier caliper with ease, her footwork flexible as she fought and retreated. Once she made a move, the caliper would inevitably embed itself into the zombie's eye socket. Ordinary zombies couldn't last two rounds in front of her!

Yu Wen shook his head secretly. He had long seen that his son-in-law was a reckless man. Holding the mentality that he could grow, he was quite grateful that Zhang Su could focus on cultivating him. Unfortunately, a soldier is ultimately hard to become a general. He hoped he could slowly get better in the future.

A small farce didn't affect everyone's mood; instead, it added some joy. Everyone didn't look down on Zhao Dezhu because of this. His combat ability was very formidable, and in the entire camp, only Zhang Su could steadily suppress him. As long as there was reliable command, having a teammate like him was still very reassuring.
