Chapter 240: Leaving Without Saying Goodbye

"The tug-of-war battle with Beita Camp before can only be considered an appetizer. The Azure Dragon Corps is the main course. But everyone doesn't need to be too nervous. They have the backing of a barracks and plenty of weapons, but our ammunition is also very sufficient, and everyone is an elite. Equipment is certainly important, but people are the key to victory. You can't beg for peace on your knees; you have to rely on your fists."

Under the bright lights, Zhang Su clenched his fists at everyone.

"Kill them, they're all delivery men!"

Zheng Xinyu was the first to respond to Zhang Su's encouragement, a milk-fierce expression on her face.

"Sister-in-law is right, they are all delivery men. When the time comes, we'll confiscate their weapons, and we'll become even stronger!"

"Haha, thinking about it this way, I'm even a little excited. We didn't go out to rob others, but others are delivering takeout to our door. This is okay, right?"

A meticulous plan, sufficient weapon assembly, and high morale made everyone look forward to the arrival of the Azure Dragon Corps instead.

Zhao Xue helplessly rolled her eyes at Wu Lue. It had been three months since the apocalypse, and this guy's mentality seemed to have no improvement, still stuck at the time he was working at the convenience store.

Mo Qianlan's voice came from the speaker: "There is a motorcade coming from the provincial road, there is a motorcade coming from the provincial road!"

"Why did they leave just like that? Isn't the village quite good? Farming, raising pigs, winter is coming soon. Changing places at this time, I really don't understand."

Zhang Su smiled and didn't hide it. "Killed a few, robbed a car. Don't talk about this. Old Ma, where are you planning to go on this trip north?"

Until now, Ma Changshou still hadn't stated it clearly.

"Is that so..."

Sss sss sss.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the motorcade from Xidaying Village!"

"Really?"

"Wait for me to ask, ask and everything will be known."

After waiting for about a minute or two, there was no movement from the walkie-talkie.

He was still thinking about finding an opportunity to sit down, set up a plate of peanuts, brew a pot of hot tea, and have a good chat about future development, but he didn't expect them to leave in such a hurry.

Everyone looked at Yu Wen in astonishment, not quite willing to believe his deduction.

Under double zoom, Zhang Su saw the situation of the motorcade relatively clearly, among which were cars he was familiar with, which he had just seen from Xidaying Village not long ago!

"Where did so many people come from? It wouldn't be the safety camp in the city moving, would it..."

Duan Wuhu smiled with a strange expression. "Brother Zhang, I thought the countryside was a paradise, but I didn't expect the fighting to be more intense than in the city!"

"Boss Zhang, it seems I have already passed the sentry post you set up. It's not that I left without saying goodbye. This morning, people from the Survivor Alliance found our village and asked about the Gold Cup car that crossed the bridge yesterday. In order not to expose your situation, our village has offended the Survivor Alliance..."

This time, it didn't keep everyone waiting long. After about twenty seconds, a voice sounded on the walkie-talkie.

Most people at the scene were stunned.

"Take it one step at a time. With our current ability, clearing a village won't be too difficult."

The psychological impact was only temporary; future crises were long-term.

Like advice between old friends, Ma Changshou chose to join the Azure Dragon Corps, but had no intention of being an enemy of Zhang Su, just choosing a place more suitable for survival for himself and the villagers.

A group of people followed Zhang Su, standing in the corridor waiting for the other party's response.

Wu Lue shook his head in confusion.

"So that's how it is... Then I have to thank the Survivor Alliance for letting me find out the hidden danger early. Hehehe... Boss Zhang is indeed amazing. I saw the people from the Survivor Alliance leave later, and only one car was left. You must have won a great victory, right?"

Ma Changshou's voice carried a hint of fatigue. He had been very busy today. Originally, it would have been a few days before departure, but this matter suddenly happened today, and the whole village was mobilized. Everyone was busy flying, and finally, it was sorted out by sunset.

After saying goodbye, Zhang Su put down the walkie-talkie and looked at the crowd with complex emotions on their faces.

Crossing the Haihe Bridge and going all the way north to Niujuanzi Town, it was twenty kilometers winding along. After United Village was wiped out, only Tian Ma Yu and Xidaying Village remained as survivor gathering places in between. Everyone was very concerned about the movements of Xidaying Village.

At the same time, the zombies wandering between Xidaying Village and Tian Ma Yu suddenly lost a gathering place that attracted them. I'm afraid there will be more zombies attacking Tian Ma Yu in the future. Scattered ones don't matter, but I'm afraid of zombie swarms appearing.

It's getting late, go back to rest. There are many things to do tomorrow!"

As a kind of fellow survivor with a decent relationship, it gave everyone a feeling of lips and teeth. Now, in such a large area, only their Tian Ma Yu remained as a single seedling. Perhaps there were scattered soldiers and stragglers who hadn't been discovered, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in their hearts.

I have no choice, I'm afraid they will come to retaliate against us, so I have to set off in advance. There are still many supplies in the village. If you have time, you can take them away. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be cheaper for the Survivor Alliance!"

"Hahaha, Boss Zhang, these things can't be helped. The welding machine is for you. As for the sow, it will definitely have a smooth delivery. It's cold, remember to keep the pigsty warm!"

Facing Zhao Xue's criticism, Wu Lue didn't dare to argue too much, and said dejectedly, "Then why are we traveling in the middle of the night?"

"Goodbye!"

After Zhang Su finished speaking, he returned to Little Lucky and took out the walkie-talkie specifically for contacting Ma Changshou, pressed the talk button: "Old Ma, what are you busy with?"

"Mr. Zhang, in my opinion, Xidaying Village should be planning to join the Azure Dragon Corps, right?"

"Really believe whatever others say?"

Xidaying Village was gone, which meant there was no obstruction on the Haihe Bridge, and anyone coming from the south would become unimpeded.

Zhang Su shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Although I haven't dealt with Old Ma many times, I can feel that he is just a patriarch who wants to live with the villagers. He has no ambition. Fine... how to choose is the freedom of Xidaying Village. I hope we don't run into their people in the grain collection team!"

Xidaying Village was about eight or nine kilometers away from Tian Ma Yu in a straight line, and twelve or thirteen kilometers by car. Although the two families hadn't fought side by side, they had been in close contact recently. The pigs and sheep in the camp were exchanged from Xidaying Village.

Seeing that the other party was still hiding the specific intention of going north, Zhang Su didn't intend to expose it, because it was meaningless, so he said, "Okay, then let's contact again after settling down. The welding machine hasn't been returned to you, and the sow midwife you promised me hasn't been fulfilled either, haha!"

Zhang Su moved quickly, rushed out of the courtyard in a few steps, and ran to the monitoring room. The picture was blurry, so he simply rushed out and rode his small electric scooter to the scenic platform where he could see the provincial road, using binoculars to look into the distance.

Just as he was talking, several walkie-talkies at the scene rang.

Yu Wen's face was rarely serious.

Zhang Su put down the walkie-talkie. He felt that this walkie-talkie might not ring for a long time, but he would keep it charged.

Zhang Su said thoughtfully. In fact, it wasn't a guess at all, but a certainty, but he couldn't explain why he could be sure.

Just talked about resources getting fewer and fewer, and suddenly so many people popped up, which inevitably made people nervous.

Everyone left Zhang Su's room and returned to their residences with complex moods. Thinking that only their group was left in the vicinity, they felt a little panicked for no reason.

Life at Tian Ma Yu could be considered comfortable for all survivor camps, but the external environment was still extremely cruel and would continue to deteriorate, far from reaching the darkest low point. Everyone jumped back and forth between comfort and cruelty...

"Okay, Boss Zhang is a person of integrity, I am very willing to deal with you. Let's leave it at that for now, hope there is a chance to meet again!"

It was like an apartment building where not a single household had lights on at night, but he had to bite the bullet and walk into the unit. The floor was quite high, and it took a minute to take the elevator. Every few floors, the elevator would suddenly go dark...

Zhang Su frowned and said again, "Old Ma, we have known each other for a while. I already know about the Survivor Alliance today. You are quite reasonable. We can't be considered very good friends, but we are definitely not enemies. Leaving without saying goodbye is not right, is it?"

Liu Tianji was very depressed, especially unwilling to turn against a force that originally had a decent relationship.

"Xidaying Village? They don't guard the bridge well to collect toll fees, why are they running north so late?"

Zhang Su spread his hands and said, "Now it's like what is said in science fiction novels. We live in a dark forest. Every camp is a hunter with a gun. Under limited resources, everyone takes survival as the first priority. Eliminating others can reduce resource consumption and also allow oneself to get more!"

"Old Ma, you are righteous enough. I heard from those guys in the Survivor Alliance that you even shot a traitor?"

"What?"

??

"What's the situation!?"

Wang Xin and several others also came to the platform, watching a string of headlights driving north, their faces very heavy.

"How could this be..."

Previously in the Survivor Alliance, they went out at most for small-scale fighting. Plus the alliance had a big name, some small groups of survivors were unwilling to provoke them, and there were few conflicts. Except for dealing with zombies, they really hadn't seen the situation of mutual shooting with firearms!

There was also a crucial welding machine.

Returning home and turning on the light, it became the only light in this building. Sitting in the quiet building, he had no bottom in his heart.

Lu Yubo asked in confusion.

"This... Brother Su, then won't Xidaying Village become our enemy in the future?"

Zhang Su nodded and said, "That's right, Xidaying Village chose to join the Azure Dragon Corps. That day, the Azure Dragon Corps went to Xidaying Village after arriving at United Village. I saw the marks left by their wheels, but Ma Changshou didn't mention the Azure Dragon Corps at all, only saying they planned to migrate."

"Okay, see you later, maybe we can do business with you in the future!"

There was also the issue of exchanging what one had for what one lacked. With United Village being captured and Xidaying Village leaving, the relationship Zhang Su had established before completely collapsed. Without external trading objects, either listen to Zhang Xin's advice, go into the city to trade with others in the Survivor Alliance, or explore to the north and contact other gathering places.

Humans are social animals. Even in the apocalypse, if they don't have contact with the outside world for a long time, the mental state of everyone will definitely have problems in the long run.
