Chapter 238: It
At noon during lunch, Zhang Su didn't see Lu Yubo bring people back. Through the walkie-talkie, he understood the situation: they were solving their own meals in the village and planned to continue clearing out Madianzhuang in the afternoon.
That was what was said, but Zhang Su heard some clues from Zhang Ya's words. Except for a very few, the combat power of the people in United Village wasn't very good, and the number of zombies killed was far too low, so they would continue in the afternoon.
This was a situation with no other choice. Most of the young and strong in United Village had died during the zombie swarm attack, and the rest were mostly logistics personnel, some of whom were even old women who had never killed a zombie. Even if they had a heart willing to become stronger, they needed time to hone themselves. Today's step was very critical.
The tenet of the Tian Ma Yu safety camp was that everyone, from eighty-year-old elders to eight-year-old children, must have the ability to independently kill zombies. This was the rule, which must never be broken, except for special contributors...
Before Fu Weijun came, they hadn't considered special contributors; it was just that this person's situation was too special.
"Teacher Duan, come, sit here!"
While eating in the restaurant at noon, Zhang Su saw Duan Wuhu walking in alone, so he waved at him.
Zhang Su said half-truthfully, wanting to see Duan Wuhu's reaction.
"More than just dealing with them, I also know you are a traitor to the Survivor Alliance, having abducted the most important scientific researcher in the alliance. Now Liao Youzhi has sent five teams to look for you and Fu Weijun. Truly majestic!"
"Which department? I am the deputy captain of the second team of the search group. What's the matter?"
"Old Yan is the deputy captain of the third vanguard team, with formidable combat power. Even he was taken down. You guys are truly amazing..."
"First tell me, which department did you belong to in the Survivor Alliance before?"
Haoyun raised its paw and gestured toward the distance, its expression very serious.
The chopsticks in Duan Wuhu's hand dropped onto the tray, and a thick sense of unease appeared on his face.
Zhang Su shook his head. "Of course I didn't tell them. As for how much they found out from other places, I don't know. Anyway, you eat slowly, I'm going to Dr. Fu's side to take a look!"
Zhang Su nodded, not doubting Duan Wuhu, because the other party's situation matched what Zhang Xin had said. The search group had a total of three teams, each with ten people, mainly responsible for collecting supplies. Only the captain and deputy captain were equipped with pistols.
Seeing Duan Wuhu walk over, Zheng Xinyu knew the two would definitely have some things to talk about next, so she shoveled the food into her mouth and went to deliver food to Zhong Xiaoshan, who was on duty in the monitoring room.
Duan Wuhu smiled and waved his hand. "Old Yan was schemed against by Zhang Xin. Everyone in the alliance knows their relationship is bad. This was the result of Liao Youzhi's deliberate arrangement. There is a direct conflict of interest between the captain and deputy captain of each team. Unless you are like me, who doesn't care about anything and completely listens to the captain, otherwise you will definitely have conflicts because of fighting for credit."
A strange expression appeared on Duan Wuhu's face, and he continued, "Brother Zhang, tell me the truth, will Weijun and I bring trouble to the camp? If that's really the case, we will leave this afternoon!"
Zhang Su asked.
"It's Dr. Fu who is studying the zombies, it's fine."
Pushing the door open and walking in, Zhang Su placed the tray on the low cabinet to the side and asked.
Duan Wuhu asked with a frown, very nervous.
Zhang Su waved his hand and said, "The Survivor Alliance's hands aren't that long; they can't reach over here for the time being. And Zhang Xin doesn't know you are here with me. If you want to blame someone, blame Old Yan and the others for being too impulsive, starting to fight without asking questions. They died quite unjustly!"
"It's not that Old Yan was too impulsive." Duan Wuhu shook his head, thoughtfully saying, "When you were fighting with the other side, were there only three or four people moving, while the others didn't participate?"
Perhaps it had to do with his career. When he was teaching physical education at school, today a Chinese teacher would come to borrow a class, tomorrow a math teacher would borrow a class, and the day after an English teacher would come. He had long been used to not fighting or grabbing, and even in the apocalypse, there hadn't been much change.
Previously, he discovered that zombies would be lured away, and later he learned that zombies could be burned with firewood, so it would lure some lone zombies to the camp.
Zhang Su waited for Duan Wuhu to serve his food and sit opposite him before asking.
Zhang Su stood up, clapped his hands, and walked toward Cuilengxuan with his tray, thinking about developing some new projects for Haoyun to participate in.
"So many people... then did you fight with the people from the vanguard group today?"
Zhang Su waved his hand at Haoyun to indicate there was no need to worry.
Just as he reached the door, Zhang Su heard the unyielding howling of zombies inside the room, filled with anger.
Duan Wuhu was startled, his mouth forgetting to chew. As a deputy captain, he naturally knew the personnel of the same level very well.
Woof woof!
"Yo! Teacher Duan, you can predict the future, amazing! How did you know!" Zhang Su praised with an exaggerated expression.
Zhang Su said slowly.
"Brother Zhang, you did that Captain Zhang a huge favor this time. In the future, it's estimated that for a long time, the third team will be his alone. He can swallow a lot of resources and enjoy himself in the alliance!"
After saying that, Zhang Su took the tray, served some food, and walked toward Cuilengxuan.
After hearing Zhang Su's words, Haoyun tilted its head and thought for a while. Its lively eyes turned, and it gave a light woof to indicate it understood. After running around Zhang Su a few times, it ran toward the kitchen.
Zhang Su nodded. "No wonder that guy was so generous, not only giving me a car but also including several hundred catties of grain. Fine, quite reasonable."
But if it would cause trouble for old acquaintances, he wouldn't force it.
"I'm done eating, going to deliver food to Xiaoshan, you guys talk!"
"Dr. Fu, come, eat first. How is it, have you detected any results?"
"Zhang Xin, I know... Captain of the third team of the vanguard group!"
"Then in the end, do they really know the news about Weijun and me?" Duan Wuhu asked a bit nervously.
He enjoyed the feeling at Tian Ma Yu; it gave people a sense of a paradise, if you didn't look at those defensive fortifications.
"It's fine, I'll send it to him in a while. Old Duan, do you know who we met today when we went out to Beidong Town?"
Zhang Su followed Duan Wuhu's words.
Haoyun nodded.
Duan Wuhu shrugged, his face not showing much envy, because he was also living very well now.
"Now that you mention it, it really feels like that. The ten people on the other side were clearly divided into two action groups. After the people led by the deputy captain were eliminated, the other few immediately put down their weapons and indicated they wanted to talk properly. Damn, I didn't see any feeling of hatred at all. So that's how it was..."
"Where is Dr. Fu?"
Zhang Su looked in the direction, and it was indeed Cuilengxuan. He immediately understood Haoyun's meaning and smiled. "You want to say there are zombies over there, right?"
Awoo!!
Since the zombie attack on the camp lured from Beita Camp, Haoyun's patrol range had expanded a lot. It was no longer limited to the mountain, and most of the time it put its energy into the farmland in front of the camp.
Just as Zhang Su walked out of the restaurant, he saw the Corgi Haoyun squatting to the side, barking at him with a very serious face.
"Back from patrol? Go eat... are you looking for me for something?"
The threat of zombies for the survivors now was something they could hide from and fight. As long as it wasn't a swarm siege, it wasn't a big problem. But the danger from their own kind was different, especially a huge force!
Click.
Zhang Su placed the tray on the guardrail to the side, squatted down, and touched the little dog's head. In the temperature of about zero degrees, its ears were warm, a quite good hand warmer.
Zhang Su finished eating, put down his chopsticks, and said softly.
Duan Wuhu didn't know why Zhang Su suddenly asked this.
She came back from patrol today to eat, but heard the sound of zombies in the room, which gave her a fright.
"The little guy is interesting."
His face immediately became serious, and he said, "Have they caught up so quickly... Brother Zhang, have you dealt with the vanguard team of the Survivor Alliance?"
He picked up a drink, took a sip, and continued, "Then have you heard the name Zhang Xin?"
Duan Wuhu smiled and shook his head. "What else can he do? Just do research without eating or sleeping. I call him to eat and he won't come, making it seem like zombies can fill his stomach."
Seeing Zhang Su's expression was slightly serious, Duan Wuhu slowed down his movements and asked, "Who?"
"The five teams were naturally acting separately. The third vanguard team heard news about us from Xidaying Village and blocked me in Beidong Town. Fortunately, the people I brought out today were all strong generals. After the other side left four corpses, they slipped away. Among the dead was a guy named Old Yan!"
In the room, a single bed was placed in the middle of the room. To facilitate Fu Weijun's movement, the surrounding furniture had been moved to the balcony, leaving only a low cabinet and two stools, very simple.
Fu Weijun didn't even raise his head when he heard someone open the door. It wasn't until he heard Zhang Su speak that he stopped his movements, raised his head, and said with a face full of excitement, "Mr. Zhang, the creature of a zombie is truly magical!"
Cruel, brutal, bloody, bloodthirsty—all could be used to describe zombies. Magical, I'm afraid only from the mouth of a scientist would that be said.
