Chapter 306: You Are Not Right

"How do I replenish the spare energy bar? Oh, automatic charging, quite awesome!"

Zhang Su observed carefully and found that the empty second energy slot had faint blue light flickering, just like capturing energy particles from the void. At the same time, at the far left of the progress bar, one could see a thin layer of foundation. Maybe it recovered... one ten-thousandth?

The specific recovery speed and whether there were other ways to speed up recovery needed subsequent verification. As long as it could recover slowly, it was good.

"Test whether it can be strengthened!"

Zhang Su decided to do an experiment while his own energy slot was full, so he activated the second spare energy slot.

The operations in his mind proceeded rapidly, but when the energy slots merged again, he still didn't notice the feeling of becoming stronger. It was just that his body was warm, like a small stove releasing heat outward.

"Okay... I thought too much."

Zhang Su touched the cold tank steering wheel and smacked his lips. He fantasized that he could become a One-Punch Man.

Although it couldn't strengthen physical arts, the improvement was still considerable. The apocalypse was not like before; even leaders had to participate in battles frequently. Abundant energy, if used properly, could become a divine tool for saving lives or deciding the outcome of a battle!

This improvement wasn't as direct as strengthening his vision. Perhaps there were many hidden functions waiting to be developed, but Zhang Su was very satisfied. This was like a car with a full tank of gas adding two more fuel tanks, giving people a sense of security!

*Bang, bang. *

"Brother Zhang, how is your research? Why is there no movement..."

In the following time, Zhang Su and the others focused their energy on studying the tank. They tossed and turned for a long time, but found that it couldn't be started at all, which left everyone baffled.

Zhang Su knew that tanks had high fuel consumption, and they all started at two or three hundred units per hundred kilometers. But he had driven at most less than one kilometer just now. Counting the idle consumption, he had used at most no more than five units of fuel!

"Damn, I don't know either. This isn't the task I'm responsible for."

Pan Guoliang said, drilled into the driver's compartment, and operated it for a while, turning on the heating mode.

Zhang Su climbed out of the driver's compartment quite withered.

Military-equipped diesel generally had no problem resisting minus thirty or forty degrees, but civilian use generally wouldn't consider such a high grade. Diesel freezing in winter was very common, and truck drivers often used fire to roast the fuel tank to melt the oil...

"Go, go, go, find oil, fill it up quickly, we have to find a way to drive it back today!"

Pan Guoliang stood at the commander's hatch, scratching his head.

"Come and take a look together, I don't quite understand!"

"Military diesel is long gone, I guess it's just ordinary zero-degree or minus ten-degree. It's fine, it's fine, this tank is designed with a fuel tank insulation function, and there's electricity, it can start!"

Pan Guoliang saw that Zhang Su hadn't reacted for a long time, patted the hatch, and asked.

Zhang Su was too absorbed in studying the newly acquired skills and didn't pay attention to the time at all. Hearing Pan Guoliang's shout, he hurriedly collected his mind and greeted him to explore together.

Several people waited for three or five minutes. This time it finally started successfully. Zhang Su drove the tank in the barracks with great interest, gradually becoming proficient. He found that the difficulty of driving a tank wasn't as great as he had imagined, and he gradually increased his speed a little. The feeling of driving a tank was completely different from a motor vehicle. However, before he could recover from his excitement, the fuel gauge warning light flashing made his expression lose control instantly!

"No, how much fuel did you guys add to the tank, how come it's gone?"

Zhang Su jumped out of the driver's compartment, depressed.

"Damn... I forgot, this guy drinks diesel. Did you guys add the wrong grade of diesel, and it froze!"

Pan Guoliang made a strange expression, pointed to a messy area in the distance, and said: "It exploded, the diesel and gasoline are all gone... *Boom*, it was spectacular!"

Zhang Su was so angry that his eyelids jumped. He looked around, and none of the vehicles used diesel, so he had to reluctantly get off the tank and decided that he must find diesel tomorrow and drive this big guy back!

To prevent someone from getting there first and driving the tank away to pose a threat to him, he took away the shells and specifically removed a few key parts...

More than forty people were busy together, and soon all the vehicles were loaded. Not only were there various weapons, but there were also other equipment and supplies.

When it was time to return, Zhang Su gathered everyone together.

"Old Ma, are you curious about the corpses we just buried?"

Ma Changshou shook his head and said: "There must be a reason for what Boss Zhang wants us to do."

Zhang Su looked at the slick Ma Changsh

"That group of people came from Kuanzhuang..."

Afterwards, Zhang Su recounted the grievances between Sky Ma Yu and Kuanzhuang, finally saying: "Originally, we didn't have much of a grudge against Kuanzhuang; the spying and such were minor matters. But today is different. I didn't expect Lei Youliang to unexpectedly come to snatch equipment and even directly incite other forces to oppose me. For the safety and stability of our area, I had no choice but to strike first!"

The people of Sky Ma Yu, and even Pan Guoliang and Xin Qi, didn't feel anything was strange. The current world is a giant dark forest; fighting between hunters is nothing out of the ordinary.

Ma Changshou nodded with great understanding and said: "Boss Zhang, I'm not buttering you up, but your decision is very correct. As expected, only a leader like you can lead everyone to survive in this cruel apocalypse. I admire you, I truly do."

The villagers of West Camp Village just lacked leadership ability; it didn't mean they were fools. Now that they were in the same boat as Sky Ma Yu, seeing their boss use such forceful methods, they all felt secure from the bottom of their hearts.

"Kuanzhuang has a group of old, weak, women, and children just like yours. The grudge between Lei Youliang and me was wiped clean the moment he fell, but the villagers of Kuanzhuang have lost their protection, so I have decided to incorporate the people of Kuanzhuang! I'm telling you the truth because I treat you as my own people. You should know for yourselves what should be said and what shouldn't!"

"Boss Zhang is kind-hearted and benevolent. We will definitely do our best to cooperate with your work. If anything goes wrong, you can hold me responsible!"

For the first time since being rescued, Ma Changshou straightened his back, feeling confident in his villagers.

"Alright, that's how it is. Pack up and get ready to move out!"

When they arrived, every vehicle was empty, but on the return trip, it seemed very crowded. This was even after taking away three vehicles from Kuanzhuang; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to fit everyone!

In the FJ Cruiser, Zhang Su drove personally, taking core team members out to execute the mission. The burden on his shoulders was not light; he had to leverage his advantages to the fullest.

In the passenger seat, Zheng Xinyu looked at Zhang Su with a hint of curiosity.

"What's up?" Zhang Su felt the gaze from the side and glanced at Zheng Xinyu somewhat unnaturally.

"You're acting strange."

Zheng Xinyu stared at Zhang Su even more intently, as if a Van Gogh painting had grown on his face.

In the back seat, Zhao Dezhu was humming a tune while looking out the window. Hearing Zheng Xinyu's words, he grinned and said: "Big brother, sister-in-law suspects you're having an affair."

"Zhuzi, are you crazy? Hey, missy, how am I acting strange?"

Zhang Su's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface, secretly wondering if his high state of readiness was that obvious.

"I can't put my finger on it, I just feel like you're a completely different person than you were this morning. Did you take stimulants? Why do you seem so hyper..."

Zheng Xinyu finally thought of the word to describe it.
