Chapter 474: Things are not what they were, and people are not what they were

~9 min read 1,717 words

"Brother Xie, Brother Duan, it's better to... arrange for Ms. Qiu to be transferred as soon as possible."

Seeing Zhang Su and Duan Wuhu return, Fu Weijun urged them. He knew that the things the two were talking about had nothing to do with Qiu Hui. He was not curious at all, only focused on his own affairs.

"I know, I know, you are the most anxious!"

Duan Wuhu had a tiger face and called Xie Yan to prepare the equipment for transfer.

After the two walked into the courtyard, Fu Weijun looked at Zhang Su and said softly: "Mr. Zhang, the fire-breathing zombie..."

"I'm going to take the fire-breathing zombie away today. You have seen the situation in the camp. There are many people and it's mixed. Let's study it after things stabilize... Don't worry, there will definitely be places where you need to put in energy."

Zhang Su knew what Fu Weijun wanted to say and answered his question directly.

The sky was bright, and the group returned to Tianma Island, drove directly into Cuileng Pavilion, and sent Qiu Hui to the laboratory without letting anyone else know about it.

"Big brother, what were you busy with early in the morning?"

The kitchen of Little Lucky had already started cooking. Seeing Zhang Su walking over with a face full of thoughts, Zhao De ran over with a large spoon to ask.

"There was some situation at No. 2 Village, and professionals have already taken over. That, when is the meal? Today, try to get the Survivor Alliance, Little Eagle Club, and Tianqi Group all done. We must hurry!"

Zhang Su looked at the kitchen and asked.

"It's just steamed buns and porridge in the morning. It will be ready soon, and we can start eating one after another!"

Zhao De waved his large spoon. Wearing an apron, he was a chef; picking up a weapon, he was a fierce general.

At eight o'clock in the morning, cars drove out of Tianma Island one after another. Zhang Su personally drove the van carrying the fire-breathing zombie, while Zero Zero Three remained in the camp. Only ten people from the Yama Legion were brought along; the base camp needed enough strength to defend.

The motorcade drove south all the way. When passing through Beidong Town, everyone saw the scar across the street and couldn't help but sigh. If they had known yesterday that today would become like this, Liao Youzhi, who had turned to ashes, would probably have insisted on northern expansion even if he were beaten to death.

There is no regret medicine in this world. The troops of Liao Youzhi and Gong Chengming were like the scenery getting further and further away in the rearview mirror, eventually disappearing from people's sight.

The scenery on both sides of the road was the same as before. The high-speed train stopped on the railway bridge was still there, motionless. Through the car window, one could see the shadows of zombies, motionless as if frozen. If no one opened the car door, it should be unsealed many years later.

"Ah, I haven't been to the city for several months. I'm excited... Hey, hey, husband, where are we going first today?"

In the van, Zheng Xin pulled the seat belt and swayed her body left and right. As long as she was there, no matter how heavy the atmosphere was, it would always become active. She knew the task of coming out today: to convey the news that the Four Tigers of the North City had all joined Tianma Island to the remaining personnel of several families, and to recruit them.

"First go to..."

Zhang Su had been hesitating whether he should go to the shopping mall with the most people first, or the auto city in the far west. He still had no answer by now. Hearing Zheng Xin's question, he had a flash of inspiration.

"Xin, if it were you, do you think it would be smoother to go from easy to difficult, or easier to succeed from difficult to easy?"

"If it were me..."

Zheng Xin thought very seriously and said: "I would put all my energy into the most difficult link first. After passing it, it will be the harvest stage, comfortable. What do you think?"

"I think what you said is not bad!"

Zhang Su was very willing to listen to Zheng Xin's opinions. After all, there was no reason for this kind of thing; it was purely analyzed according to the actual situation and personal preferences. Since the lucky star had spoken, he would follow her idea!

It was just a pity that Zhang Su ignored a fundamental problem: he asked Zheng Xin whether it was from difficult to easy or from easy to difficult, but how should this "difficult" and "easy" be defined? The vehicle soon drove across the Haihe Bridge, then drove onto the North Second Ring Road, turned south after driving for a distance, and headed straight for the shopping mall.

In Zhang Su's heart, the most difficult was the Survivor Alliance, not for anything else, but because there were too many people. When there are many people, there are many variables. He wondered if he would make a mistake.

The road was clear, and zombie figures flashed by on both sides of the street, too late to react to the sound of the vehicle before losing the target of the chase. While the motorcade was speeding, on the West Second Ring Road of Qincheng, a motorcade set off from the development zone. It was just that the motorcade led by Zhang Su went south, and the motorcade on the West Second Ring Road went north. The end of the road was the Tongrui Auto City! Yang Xin wouldn't have thought that while he was planting eyes on Absolute Justice, Absolute Justice also did the same thing. Just yesterday, the news that he led the knights on an expedition had reached Absolute Justice!

The van had no driving experience to speak of, but Zhang Su didn't care about these, because the heat coming from behind was more comfortable than air conditioning. He only needed to wear a thermal shirt to drive. He hadn't felt this way for a long time. In the blink of an eye, he saw the high-rise buildings in the city.

The dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street made people feel like a world away. Who would have thought that four months ago, it was still prosperous, and people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but now it was empty, and the remaining population of the whole city was equivalent to a residential area at the beginning.

It's not that things are not what they were, it's that people are not what they were...

"If I could go back to the past, how good would it be? I would rather be exploited by the black-hearted landlord for a lifetime..."

Zheng Xin sighed leisurely.

"Is that so? I can see you have a tendency to be abused."

Zhang Su teased with a smile.

"Go to hell..." Zheng Xin puffed out her cheeks, then squeezed out a smile: "I really miss the past."

"That world can never go back. Live your life well in the future. Hey, the Survivor Alliance is not bad, setting up checkpoints so far away."

Braking to a stop, Zhang Su drove the van and stopped at the roadblock at the intersection. A series of cars behind followed and stopped slowly. They hadn't fully entered the city, just arrived at the North Ring Road, and the roadblock was naturally the outer sentry post of the Survivor Alliance.

The whole road was blocked tightly. On the non-motorized lanes and sidewalks on both sides were all kinds of messy debris. After the highway was narrowed by abandoned cars, several access control bars were placed horizontally.

If they broke in, the rough self-made nail strips on the ground would teach them a lesson. The overall defense was not comprehensive, but it was enough.

"Old Zhang, what's going on with you guys? The roadblocks are quite complete, why is there no one? Is it automatic?"

Zhang Su picked up the walkie-talkie to ask about the situation.

"Damn, they must have been scared away!"

Zhang Xin replied, and hurriedly ran forward to move the roadblocks.

Also getting out of the car were Wu Baokang and Cai Zhichao. It was too shameful for the roadblock sentry post to have no one watching, although they had decided to join Tianma Island, the performance of these people in the Survivor Alliance would still affect Zhang Su's view of them to a certain extent!

When the three of them arrived at the roadblock, half a head suddenly popped out from behind a car fifty or sixty meters away.

"Cai... Captain Cai, Captain Zhang, Captain Wu?"

A terrified voice sounded. A thin figure walked out from behind the car, with an expression of disbelief on his face. A pistol was tucked in an obvious position at his waist, and his hat was crooked.

"Little Shen, what the hell are you playing at? Why are you hiding so far away instead of standing guard properly?"

Zhang Xin scolded angrily when he saw Little Shen.

Wu Baokang moved the access control bar to one side, with disdainful sarcasm on his face: "Why hide so far away? Scared out of his wits, vegetable dog!"

Cai Zhichao shook his head helplessly. He knew the virtues of those people in the camp too well. They were best at flattering their superiors and bullying their subordinates. If they really encountered danger, they would run faster than rabbits. It was no wonder these guys weren't selected for the formal team; it made sense! They didn't know that Little Shen at the sentry post wasn't scared away at all; he was hiding in the distance to stand guard. This was his "great wisdom"...

Others said they had to leave a way out for themselves, but he was different; he was directly on the way out!

Standing guard from afar, if his own people came, he would run up to greet them, and if there was danger, he would have plenty of time to escape!
