Chapter 391

"Ah, you fool, you silly child!"

Yang Liehuo rushed over and dragged the limp Zhang Zhekai. At this moment, blood was gushing from his jaw, and he had already lost consciousness and breath. He died very quickly, without suffering any pain. The greatest torture might have been the fear he experienced from the moment he was exposed until now.

The crowd was silent, and everyone's thoughts were different. Some were conquered by Zhang Su's calm state, some were terrified by the blood trickling from Zhang Zhekai's chin, some were solemn because they felt Zhang Su's iron-blooded wrist, and there was no lack of heartless guys who were just there to watch the fun.

No matter what feelings everyone had, no one felt sad about Zhang Zhekai's death, except...

"Grandpa Huo..."

Su Xiaoya walked out of the crowd, went to Yang Liehuo, who was half-squatting, hugged his shoulder, and said, "Don't be sad, Brother Kai..."

Speaking of this, Su Xiaoya glanced at Zhang Su. Seeing that his eyes were calm and waveless, she continued, "Brother Kai was too impulsive and made a big mistake. Don't be sad!"

Made a big mistake.

Simple yet very pure words. Not seriously executing the tasks assigned by superiors and attempting to attack the leader of the force—what is that if not self-destruction?

"Good child, good, good, I know, I understand."

Yang Liehuo had rarely shed tears since the disaster broke out. This time he was truly sad because part of the responsibility for Zhang Zhekai's death lay with him. If it weren't for his protection and indulgence, this day would never have come.

"Old Huo, stand up!"

Zhang Su's solemn voice rang out.

Yang Liehuo's body trembled after hearing this. He had seen the details of Zhang Su using force to kill Zhang Zhekai just now most clearly. That calmness made him feel terrified. He had only heard that Zhang Su was very powerful, but he had never seen Zhang Su fight anyone. Tonight was the first time they fought side by side. Strong, too strong, strong enough to make him fear.

Slowly putting down Zhang Zhekai, Yang Liehuo stood up. The uncongealed blood dripped down his palm. He looked at Zhang Su with old tears streaming down his face, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

"Don't blame Brother Zhang, he had no choice. Grandpa Huo, he has to consider the safety of many people!"

Su Xiaoya held Yang Liehuo's arm and persuaded him in a voice that only Yang Liehuo could hear.

It was just that these words entered Zhang Su's ears without missing a single word. He didn't expect the little girl to be so sensible at this time. No wonder she looked down on Pang Dakun; Pang Dakun, who was a few years older than her, still acted like a child most of the time.

"Old Huo, look at them!"

Zhang Su turned around, pointed at the women who came from Kuanzhuang, and said, "Which one of them doesn't work harder than Zhang Zhekai? Look at the frostbite on their faces, the calluses on their hands. Everyone is working hard for tomorrow, for the collective, for themselves! Tianma Island does not allow flowers in a greenhouse. Don't you know?"

There were flowers in a greenhouse, but that was limited to a few people with special talents.

Yang Liehuo naturally knew the rules of the camp. Facing the reprimand, he put away his emotions, nodded heavily, and said, "I was confused for a moment. I only remembered the entrustment of Zhang Zhekai's father and forgot my own duties. I shouldn't have. I accept punishment."

"In the past half month, except for the indulgence of Zhang Zhekai, you have been serious and responsible in your work, dedicated to the training of the reserve team, and meticulous in your life. Your merits outweigh your faults, but merits do not offset faults. If there are merits, there should be rewards; if there are faults, there must be punishment! You are limited to completing the sentry post matter within two days, and you will be responsible for night duty for one month. At the same time, during this month, you must transport at least ten zombie corpses to Village No. 2 every day. Do you understand?"

Where the key to the problem lay, who should be dealt with, who was the chicken to be killed to warn the monkeys, and who were the monkeys—Zhang Su knew clearly in his heart. How to better win people's hearts and develop, he had also learned a lot in the process of chatting with Yu Wen. Coupled with the recent arrival of Ma Changshou, his ability in this aspect was improving day by day.

Like Zhang Zhekai, a piece of mud—if it could be lifted, that was good; if it couldn't, it should be eradicated. But Yang Liehuo was different. He had many advantages. For such an excellent member, a different set of methods was needed to handle him.

With the end of Zhang Su's judgment on Yang Liehuo, the reserve team members breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yang Liehuo's life was not taken.

Through this incident, not only was a lesson taught to ordinary members, but a warning was also given to the small leaders who were officials—shielding and indulging would not work!

"Yes, I understand, I guarantee to complete the task!"

Yang Liehuo's lips trembled after hearing Zhang Su's words.

The intensity of the punishment was not light. In the month to come, his daily sleep time would probably not exceed five hours, but this was the punishment he deserved. With his character, he would absolutely not do things perfunctorily.

Clap clap!

Zhang Su didn't continue to talk about Yang Liehuo. He clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself, and then said loudly.

"As our camp population gradually increases, it is inevitable that people like Zhang Zhekai who are lazy and slack will appear. Everyone must remember that this is not a peaceful period. Crisis is always lurking around us. In the past, being lazy might just mean a little less harvest of crops, but now it is different. If the things that should be done are not done, it might cost lives. I hope everyone will encourage each other if there are no faults, and correct them if there are, and don't make the same mistakes as Zhang Zhekai and Yang Liehuo!"

"Understood!"

"Okay, Brother Su."

"Guaranteed not to!"

Everyone's voices were different, but the meaning expressed was exactly the same.

Zhang Su's gaze swept across everyone's faces. Seeing that no one had any strange expressions, he nodded with relief, pointed at the messy battlefield, and said, "The horde brings us crisis, but also brings us fuel. Cleaning up the battlefield is left to you. Divide the zombie corpses into three parts. Village No. 1 and Village No. 2 will each transport one part away and store it. I'll go see Qiu Hui!"

After saying that, Zhang Su turned and walked toward Village No. 2.

With Zhang Su's departure, the atmosphere at the scene finally eased a little, and many people let out long breaths.

"Holy crap, the pressure Brother Su gave me tonight is so strong..."

"Don't mention it. When I was killing zombies just now, I was not far from Brother Su. He killed zombies like cutting wheat, swish swish swish. I was scared to death."

"No, no, we must urge Brother Su to quickly teach us the martial arts techniques of the island nation woman. It's too strong, haha!"

Zhang Su was very strong before, but after training with Ju Wuying for eighteen days, he was already strong beyond the scope of their cognition. Thinking that they could also learn those martial arts techniques and become stronger soon, the elite group was very excited.

"Hehe..."

"Hmm... why are you laughing so contemptuously."

Zheng Xinyu heard others saying that Zhang Su was strong and felt beautiful in her heart, but suddenly heard Ju Wuying let out a very disdainful laugh.

Ju Wuying looked at Zheng Xinyu with a flat gaze, then swept a circle around the elite group members who were rubbing their hands and preparing to clean up the battlefield, and said, "Zhang Su is a proud son of heaven, there is only one. They, no."

Zhang Su's progress speed was completely perverted in Ju Wuying's view, something that only existed in anime. The road she spent twenty years walking, Zhang Su only used less than twenty days. Of course, she couldn't deny that he had a foundation, but no matter how you say it, it was at the level of a fantasy.

Ju Wuying had already equated Zhang Su with a monster in her heart, knowing that he must have a great opportunity, which was his secret.

Zheng Xinyu's expression was very strange after hearing Ju Wuying praise Zhang Su. She tilted her head and looked at her: "Hey, you guy makes people very uncomfortable. Zhang Su is my husband. How come I feel like you know him better than I do, humph!"

Ju Wuying showed a rare smile, hooked the corner of her mouth at Zheng Xinyu, and said, "Don't worry, I have no interest in men! But I am also very powerful. If you are disgusted with men, you can consider me."

"Ah, ptooey!" Zheng Xinyu made a disgusted spitting expression and shook her head: "I'm not a lesbian, don't, don't, don't!"

Zhang Su, who had already walked into the village, absolutely couldn't think of the content of the conversation between Zheng Xinyu and Ju Wuying. After identifying the direction, he walked toward the courtyard where Qiu Hui lived.

"Brother Su."

Lu Leiyang, who was leaning against the door smoking, saw Zhang Su walk into the room and hurriedly stood up straight.

"You were great tonight!" Zhang Su patted Lu Leiyang's shoulder, then pouted at Qiu Hui, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, and said, "What's the situation? Did you feed her sleeping pills?"

Lu Leiyang shook his head and said worriedly, "She suddenly became a bit sleepy. I suspect it's because of excessive blood loss, or... that thing."

Zhang Su naturally knew what "that thing" meant. He patted Lu Leiyang's shoulder again and said, "Relax, Xiao Chen dragged it for a while before cutting off his hand, and he didn't turn into a zombie. You handled it very timely, it's impossible for there to be a problem."

"Hmm!"

Lu Leiyang nodded heavily, but still looked at Qiu Hui with some worry.

Tony, who once didn't have much presence on Tianma Island, became more and more responsible after becoming the deputy captain of the reserve team. His growth speed was obvious to all.

"However..." After comforting Lu Leiyang, Zhang Su changed the subject and said softly, "The precautions that should be taken must still be taken. You definitely don't have time to watch her all the time. Tie her up with a rope in a while. If she wakes up and is fine, then untie her."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what should be done."

Lu Leiyang felt that Zhang Su's reminder was very critical. He had really ignored this point, thinking from the bottom of his heart that Qiu Hui would not turn into a zombie...
