Chapter 401

"Let's put these on the tab for now. It won't be too late to cash them in when I really go to your place one day, haha."

"Rest assured, Old Zhang, with our friendship, you hurry back. I know about the matter, perhaps it's not as bad as imagined. Eat when you should, drink when you should, and warn your brothers not to let the cat out of the bag and let others know about our relationship!"

After hearing Zhang Su's words, Zhang Xin felt relieved and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I know. Our squad is solid as a rock now. Let's leave it at that for now!"

Having said that, Zhang Xin turned off the walkie-talkie directly and stepped on the gas pedal. The car drove rapidly toward the south, while he said to the people in the car: "You all heard it. After we go back, eat when you should, drink when you should. All of you go to the powder house to spend money, loosen your belts, and keep your big mouths shut, understand?"

"Understand, understand..."

"Got it, Brother Zhang."

After ending the call, the tension on Zhang Xin's side eased slightly, but Zhang Su was a bit depressed. With such a big thing happening, why did only Zhang Xin tip him off, and that Gong Chengming who wanted to make trouble was actually quiet!

Shouldn't Gong Chengming be fishing in troubled waters and making trouble at the same time? Zhang Su frowned and walked into the restaurant. Seeing seven or eight people sitting inside, all of whom were the old-timers who had fought their way out of the city with him, he spoke bluntly.

"Damn it, I just received some news. Luring the zombie horde to the North Second Ring Road today has caused trouble!"

"Ah?"

"What do you mean, Brother Su..."

"What do you mean, Mr. Zhang?"

Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at Zhang Su in confusion. If he could say this, then the matter must not be easy.

"Come, come, sit down and eat while we talk!"

Zheng Xinyu set the heated food for Zhang Su and invited him to sit down.

"I just got news from an informant that this is not the first time a zombie horde has appeared in the northern part of Qincheng recently. The leader of the Survivor Alliance can't stand it anymore and intends to ferret out the force behind the zombie luring. As it happens, we ran into this today, and it's very likely they are coming for us!"

As soon as Zhang Su spoke, the restaurant went quiet, and everyone had a look of contemplation and surprise on their faces.

"Damn, who the hell made us take this big rap? Let's beat them to death!"

Lu Yubo was the first to be unhappy, slapping his chopsticks on the table with a bang, which was quite forceful.

"Hey, Brother Lu, why are you so excited? The truth hasn't come out yet. Stay calm, stay calm."

Zhao Dezhu pacified the irritable Lu Yubo in a decent manner. Recently, he had been hanging out with Yu Wen, and he had slowly changed, with his former impulsive energy somewhat restrained.

Chen Hanzhou looked at Zhang Su thoughtfully and said: "Brother Su, the informant you mentioned..."

"That's right, it's those people we met at the United Village back then." Zhang Su didn't hide it from everyone. Those present were the core of the core. There might be situations where information exchange was not timely, but they wouldn't hide things.

"Brother Su, it's not that I'm suspicious, but can that person be trusted?"

Chen Hanzhou didn't have a very good impression of Zhang Xin, feeling that he was a mercenary guy who didn't seem to have a bottom line.

Zhang Su shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice and said while chewing: "His main purpose in this trip wasn't to warn me, but to tell me that if a fight really breaks out, he will defect. It counts as an early surrender. To be honest, if he has the idea of leaving himself a way out, I think the credibility is quite high."

Zhang Xin had the intention of coming to Tianmayu before, but he just felt that life in the mountain gullies here was too bland. But if a life-threatening event happened to the Survivor Alliance, he naturally wouldn't be nostalgic. "Mr. Zhang, I have an opinion."

Yu Wen, who had been resting his chin on his hand without speaking, tapped the table lightly and then said: "To summarize, this matter is currently divided into three aspects: what we know, what Zhang Xin knows, and what Liao Youzhi knows! Liao Youzhi definitely knows the most, Zhang Xin knows a part but not comprehensively, and by the time the news reaches your ears, there's not much left. But even if it's just groundless rumors, it's necessary to be prepared to meet the enemy, right?"

"Correct." Zhang Su nodded and said: "That's indeed the case. Regardless of the truth of the matter, we should attach importance to it. Since Zhang Xin has such a conjecture, Liao Youzhi must have expressed his covetousness for the north in his daily life. Our own defense cannot be empty! It's a pity you guys just started training in the Tachibana-style martial arts."

Because of the training, the combat effectiveness of the people in Tianmayu was currently weak. Except for a very few individuals, the rest of the members were sore and weak all over, and I'm afraid the accuracy of rifle shooting would drop significantly.

"Then let's stop for a while... Everyone's strength in a full state isn't bad, oh." Zheng Xinyu suggested seriously. Logically speaking, her physical fitness was considered quite good among the female members, but after yesterday afternoon's training, she was also in a bad way now.

Zhang Su nodded: "Of course we have to stop!"

"Brother Su, can we take the initiative to attack this time?"

Lu Yubo squeezed his fist, which had no strength, and felt that he could recover seven or eight out of ten by tomorrow, so there would be no problem with fighting.

Zhang Su didn't give an answer immediately because he had also hesitated about this matter just now. He looked up at the group and asked: "What do you think?"

"The current news is based on hearsay. Taking the initiative to attack is too radical. Consider it carefully!"

Yu Wen gave his opinion first, almost without much thought.

Chen Hanzhou picked at the rice in his bowl and frowned: "It feels very rash to attack just based on Zhang Xin's one-sided words."

Wu Lue showed a strange smile and then shrugged without speaking. The meaning was obvious: he couldn't make up his mind either and would listen entirely to the arrangements.

Zhao Dezhu looked at his father-in-law sneakily, then glanced at Lu Yubo, and said with a strange expression: "Big brother, you were able to lead us to charge directly at the Green Dragon Corps back then. Can we do the same this time?"

"Simply nonsense!"

Hearing Zhao Dezhu's words, Yu Wen immediately rolled his eyes at him and said: "That time we had a just cause, we were upright and high-spirited, everyone knew clearly what the goal was, and there were other favorable factors for our side. What is the situation this time?"

Being scolded by his father-in-law, Zhao Dezhu immediately shrank his neck. Thinking about the current situation, the reasons indeed didn't seem sufficient, so he made a face and stopped talking.

"Old Yu is right. This time is different from the Green Dragon Corps incident. Little Chen is also not wrong. We cannot rashly attack the Survivor Alliance just because of a word from Zhang Xin. That is the largest force in Qincheng now. Isn't it possible that a villain is sowing discord?"

"Taking a step back, even if everything Zhang Xin said is true, we cannot immediately set off toward Qincheng! Think about why I dared to lead you to charge at the Green Dragon Corps before. That was a defensive counterattack. We had information provided by the Green Dragon Corps captives and the motorcade as cover. Now we have nothing!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Su thought of Gong Chengming again. He would have liked to contact Gong Chengming, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity.

"Yes, I think Brother Su's words make a lot of sense. Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, if we rashly enter the city, we will be very passive and may even fall into the other party's trap!"

Zheng Xinyu nodded in agreement with Zhang Su's words very seriously.

Lu Yubo's expression was very blank. How could he say they had nothing? Didn't they have the liquid with incomprehensible explosive power, and the killing machine Zero-Zero-Three...

However, seeing that everyone opposed his opinion, he had to smile awkwardly and wave his hand: "I was just making a suggestion, you don't have to be so serious, hehe..."

After speaking, he hurriedly buried his head in his food, finally remembering that he was just a martial general and shouldn't participate in strategic discussions.
