Chapter 496: You still have treasures? (Updated single chapter)

Pfft...

Chen Hanzhou pulled the mechanical prosthetic limb out of the man's head and rubbed the spot where he had been shot. Must say, it still hurt a bit!

"You mad dog, you're really tough!"

He stared coldly at Lei Zi, who was destined not to live.

The explosion had killed many people on the spot; some had been blown into jigsaw puzzles, with severed limbs thrown dozens of meters away, a bloody mess. Yet the culprit who caused all this was actually lingering on and hadn't died on the spot.

"Brother Su has always advocated killing without torturing, but I think a crazy, stupid dog like you doesn't even deserve to be human. It's a pity so many people are watching..."

Chen Hanzhou muttered the last sentence to himself. He knew very well what he was out to do today; if he were too cruel, he feared it would be unfavorable for the boss to recruit people.

As a result, his own muttering was heard by the other side. Lei Zi said with difficulty: "Who are you pretending for? Damn, you're afraid of being watched for what you do? Calling me a dog, you're all hypocrites!"

Chen Hanzhou didn't care about the other side's insults. How could he argue with a dying man? He turned his head to look at the ordinary members of the Apocalypse Group who had already begun self-rescue, then looked down at Lei Zi and said: "Speak, how do you want to die? How do you want to put an end to your crazy, stupid life? You're lucky today, I can give you a quick end!"

According to Chen Hanzhou's thoughts, a guy like this should be saved first with zombie thalamus, then tortured for forty-nine days, letting him slowly rot in fear and despair!

"Cough cough... hehehe."

Lei Zi's face was black, red, and white. He coughed twice weakly: "How do I want to die? I don't want to die, okay? You idiot, haha..."

Even at the gates of hell, the crazy guy's thinking was chaotic. Then he thought of something and said with great interest: "Hey hey, don't hit my head, let me become a zombie, become a zombie and then come play with you guys!"

"Crazy..."

Chen Hanzhou didn't continue to talk nonsense with Lei Zi. He picked up the pistol of the man he had killed earlier and pulled the trigger at Lei Zi, his eyes calmly staring straight at the other side throughout the process!

He killed the enemy with a clear conscience, not afraid of the other side's death stare at all, as if saying, remember my face well, don't provoke me in the next life.

Slap.

A gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared on Lei Zi's head, completely ending his crazy life.

"Let me go, I promise I won't retaliate. I will arrange for people to return all the stolen supplies. Everything I say is true. If you don't have my assistance, it will be very difficult to get those supplies back!"

On the south side of the convoy, Huang Yixiao faced Zhang Su's step-by-step approach and could only retreat repeatedly. The companion who had been fleeing with him had breathed his last ten seconds ago. The other side had raised his hand and brought down his blade, and a fine head had just flown away like that.

Seeing this guy rush toward the detonators like a chivalrous hero, he knew he was definitely not an ordinary person. Scenes that he had only seen in movies and TV shows were appearing before his eyes. Huang Yixiao felt quite shocked!

He didn't want to die. The pistol had run out of bullets earlier, and the spare magazine was nowhere to be found. He could only think of other ways; language was the last weapon, and it had to be used well! "You're really interesting. Such a big thing happened, and the people sent out are almost all dead. Is Ding Wei eating shit? You say you won't retaliate, so you won't? What do you have to back that up?"

Zhang Su wasn't in a hurry to kill Huang Yixiao. If nothing went wrong, he was the only survivor left, and there were still some things that needed to be clarified.

Hearing that the other side had actually given him a moment to breathe, a look of hope appeared on Huang Yixiao's face. He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have a way. As long as we frame today's incident on the Survivor Alliance, even if our boss wants to retaliate, he won't have the strength!"

Absolute Justice had about two hundred people, with over sixty combat personnel, which was a very high military-to-civilian ratio in the Qincheng survivor camp. But today, nearly thirty had died all at once, which could be called a serious injury to their foundation.

"You said the Survivor Alliance..."

Zhang Su curled his lips with a strange expression and took a big step forward.

"Forgot to tell you, the Survivor Alliance has also joined Tianmayu. Liao Youzhi died yesterday. I personally sent him on his way. He should have crossed the Naihe Bridge by now, including the ambitious second-in-command Gong Chengming, who went with him!"

"What..."

Huang Yixiao was stunned. This was the most shocking news he had heard today. He didn't have time to sigh before the man with a 100% danger rating in front of him was closing in on him.

"Don't, don't do it... I'm warning you, if you push me too far, we'll all be finished!"

Huang Yixiao stumbled backward, while reaching into his bosom to take out a small coin purse. He quickly took out a snow-white wax pill, which looked exceptionally white against his blood-stained, dark face, and made a move to crush it.

Zhang Su hadn't expected the other side to have a secret weapon. He immediately stopped his steps. Vigilance was one aspect, but he was more interested in understanding what this was.

"You still have treasures? What is this? Don't tell me it's another bomb!"

Huang Yixiao took two more steps back to open up some distance, his fingers tightly pinching the wax pill: "Only a madman like Lei Zi likes to play with bombs. This is a high-tech product. As long as I eat what's inside, you'll all die!"

"You eat it, and we die? Oh, I understand, transformation medicine, right?"

Zhang Su guessed the general idea as soon as he heard it, after all, his own camp also had people researching things in this area.

Huang Yixiao hadn't expected the other side to see through his secret so quickly and still remain so lighthearted. This made his heart skip a beat, so he hurriedly put on a fierce expression and emphasized: "This isn't ordinary transformation medicine. As long as I eat this pill, none of you will be enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!"

"It's not too late to leave now. I won't hold the previous things against you. Otherwise, once I eat the pill, you won't even have a chance to regret it!"

"Won't even have a chance to regret it?"

At this, Zhang Su sneered, which reminded him of Liao Youzhi's boasting, saying that the zombie-transformation bomb could cover the entire Qincheng. As it turned out, forget about Qincheng, even a single town required the cooperation of wind power to achieve that.

In this world, people's words couldn't be trusted at all. The same went for when he was blowing smoke at his enemies...

"Since it's so powerful, then eat it. I'll see how big the gaps between your teeth are."

Zhang Su raised his hand, signaling the other side to eat quickly. He really didn't believe in this evil today.

Huang Yixiao took a deep breath, his dirty face twitching a few times. The hand holding the wax pill was trembling slightly. His words weren't just an exaggeration; they also covered up the truth...

The potency of the drug inside the wax pill was indeed quite fierce, but the side effects were also very overbearing. Compared to the red chili pill, it was even more terrifying. There was simply no turning back; once eaten, it was a one-way trip to death, only with a certain ability to complete unfinished business before dying.

"Why? Unwilling to eat, refusing to eat, or afraid to eat? Seems like there's no difference. Since you don't dare to eat it, then bring it here!"

Before Zhang Su's voice had even faded, he moved.

He had indeed intended to let the other side eat it and see the effect, but after saying it, he regretted it. First of all, he wasn't arrogant; even if his combat power increased, he didn't think he was invincible. If things really got out of hand, it would be a disaster.

Furthermore, if it really was as badass as the other side said, it would be better to take it back for research; why waste it?

Swish... "Ah..."

Huang Yixiao's reaction was of course not as fast as Zhang Su's, but he still subconsciously dodged when the other side attacked, while his fingers tried hard to crush the wax pill, intending to go down in a blaze of glory. But before he could crush the wax pill, he felt a pain in his wrist and his arm felt light.

Plop.

His wrist was cleanly severed, the wax pill and his palm fell to the ground together, and blood sprayed as if it were worthless.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Having his palm severed by the other side's surprise attack, Huang Yixiao's eyes were filled with blood, and he went crazy on the spot. He shouted and stopped dodging, actually rushing straight up, waving his other arm, very fierce.

Pfft, pfft...

Must say, Huang Yixiao's combat ability was still decent. With one arm, he actually exchanged two moves with Zhang Su. Of course, it was mainly because Zhang Su didn't want to take his life, otherwise, one blade would have solved the trouble.

Huang Yixiao having such ability was already not bad. If he were in his prime, his combat power could probably be a 4-6 split with Lu Yu.

Bang...

Two exchanges were the limit. Zhang Su wouldn't tie one of his own arms just because the other side had one left. He attacked again, his sand-pot-sized fist smashing fiercely onto the other side's head!

With a thud, it was solid.

Huang Yixiao stumbled backward repeatedly, feeling only black stars and the world spinning...

Those scenes where the enemy is given time to recover after being hit only appear in brain-dead TV shows. The reality was that Zhang Su didn't give Huang Yixiao any time to ease up. He stepped forward and threw three more punches!

Bang bang... bang, the force wasn't great, but it was dizzying and brain-damaging.

Huang Yixiao finally couldn't hold on, his eyes went black, and he lay on the ground. Who knew if he had a cerebral hemorrhage...

"Still dare to fight to the death, who gave you the courage, damn it."

Zhang Su muttered, bent down, and picked up the white wax pill from the ground. There were already fine cracks on it; just a little more force and it could be crushed.

He smelled it under his nose.

"Ugh!"

An indescribable stench escaped through the cracks, hitting his brain directly. Zhang Su felt his stomach churning on the spot. Fortunately, he hadn't eaten lunch, otherwise, he would have sprayed it all over the place! "What kind of shit is this? No wonder he didn't dare to eat it!"

Zhang Su swallowed hard. A pill that makes people fight to the death, why couldn't they make it taste better? Making it so disgusting, the experience before death was too poor. Could it be that the person who wanted to eat this pill wanted to splash the disgust they suffered onto the enemy? Sizzle sizzle, sizzle sizzle...

Zhang Su tore a few pieces of cloth from Huang Yixiao. The wax pill, originally the size of a longan, was wrapped into the size of a fist. Finally, the smell was gone. He stuffed it into his bag and then dragged Huang Yixiao back to the convoy.

"Husband, what's wrong with this guy..."

Zheng Xinyu saw Zhang Su dragging a dead fish back, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked curiously.

"This guy is the person who was responsible for the talks earlier. He should have some status in Absolute Justice. I guess he's the only survivor left. Keep him for questioning. Give me the rope."

"Here!"

Zheng Xinyu pulled a small bundle of rope from her bag and handed it to Zhang Su, then reported the battle damage.

Zhang Su listened silently, personally tied up Huang Yixiao, and then participated in the rescue work.

After working for half an hour, through a tense rescue, under the magical power of the zombie thalamus, fourteen seriously injured personnel who could be saved were all out of life-threatening danger. Twelve of them were combat personnel, and the remaining two unlucky ones were from the front row of the captive line...

After the treatment, the wounded recovered quite well, all looking spirited.

Instead, it was those brothers whose injuries weren't fatal who were a bit uncomfortable. Their injuries didn't reach the level requiring divine medicine, but they were torn and stinging with pain, all of them grimacing.

Of course, the saddest thing was that three combat personnel had left this world forever. One from the kindergarten branch, and two from the auto park branch...

The ordinary members of the auto park branch all pitched in, using various tools to dig three large pits in the withered forest by the road. Being able to get a proper burial was a rare dignity in the apocalypse, while those dead goods from Absolute Justice didn't have this treatment.

"Heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds, people have misfortunes and blessings. Three brothers, go well!"

Zhang Su stood with everyone in front of the simple mounds. The three sacrificed brothers were lying in the pits. He held three lit cigarettes high, blue smoke curling, bowed forward, then inserted the cigarettes in front of the mounds, and then picked up Tachibana Mai Sakura's wine flask and sprinkled it in front of the three mounds.

Splash, pitter-patter.

The wine fell onto the land and was quickly absorbed by the dry soil, as if the three sacrificed brothers were tasting the fine wine.

"Three brothers, smoke good cigarettes, drink good wine, go on your way with peace of mind. The twenty-six lives of Absolute Justice will be buried with you, but that's not enough... if you ask me, you don't need to rush to be reincarnated. In this world now, who is having children, right? Wait a while longer, there will be more crazy people from Absolute Justice to be buried with you! Remember, this is what I said, I will definitely fulfill it for you!"

Zhang Su's tone wasn't passionate, even a bit low, and people further away couldn't hear it, but it made those close by have goosebumps all over their arms.

Whether Yama's joke was humorous or not was beside the point; his promise was very solemn. It wasn't just said for the dead to hear, but also done for the living to see! Zhang Su slowly screwed the wine flask shut and returned it to Tachibana Mai Sakura, then turned around to look at the rescued people from the auto park branch, and said loudly: "These three exchanged their sacrifices for your lives. Pay respects!"

As the words fell, Yang Xinci immediately led the people forward, bowed three times seriously in front of the mounds, and then observed a minute of silence.

Funeral customs aren't done for the dead to see; they have different meanings in different periods. At this very moment, using this form could educate the living well, alert everyone, and let everyone know that no peace is obtained out of thin air. The reason they could enjoy quiet years was that someone was carrying the burden forward.

After the ceremony ended, Zhang Su called Yang Xinci to the front, pointed to the crowd, and said: "I see that sister is very broken. Which sacrificed brother's family member is she?"

"Sigh..." Yang Xinci touched the wound on his forehead and nodded with a heavy face: "Her name is Peng Ying. She and the little knife at that grave were a couple. The two came to the auto park one after another, and later they got together. Truly a pair of bitter mandarin ducks..."

Zhang Su looked at Peng Ying. Several aunts were surrounding her to comfort her. Kind people were trying to warm her wounded heart, but unfortunately, words were always pale and powerless.

He turned to Zheng Xinyu and said: "When you have time, contact Peng Ying and give her some material compensation. Also, ask her about her thoughts on the future. If she wants to continue as logistics personnel, arrange some work she likes. If she wants to pick up a weapon, bring her to the reserve team and train with the women's army."

"OK, leave it to me!"

Zheng Xinyu nodded in agreement. These were her duties.
