Chapter 527
"Brother Su, shall we stay on the fourth floor?"
The group from the Yama Legion walked to the fifth floor. Lu Yubo hugged his arms and rubbed them.
"It is a bit cold..."
Zhang Ya and Wang Xin also agreed with Lu Yubo's point of view.
The temperature gradually decreased starting from the first floor. On the fourth floor, it was still seven or eight degrees above zero, but by the fifth floor, it had already dropped below zero because the laboratory explosion had shattered the glass curtain wall, allowing air to circulate inside and outside.
They didn't feel it after being frozen for a long time, but going from over twenty degrees above zero to several degrees below zero all of a sudden made everyone shiver.
Zhang Su came here mainly for quiet to talk about things, and didn't intend to sleep on this floor, so he said: "Bozi, you go to the fourth floor and find a comfortable place. We'll go down after we finish our business."
"Alright! Big Pillar, let's go, let's go together!"
"Coming!"
With a shout, Lu Yubo and Zhao Dezhu left in a hurry.
"Let's see what the situation is on the other side."
Zhang Su shook the walkie-talkie at the people in front of him and pressed the talk button: "I am not Liao Youzhi. Who are you? Give a detailed introduction."
"This disaster has probably dealt a heavy blow to many camps!"
Yu Wen's brows were heavy, recalling the encounter in the afternoon. Le Gou Mall could be considered to have tight defenses, yet it almost suffered a devastating blow, which made him have lingering fears.
Zhang Su looked at the silent walkie-talkie, exhaled a breath of cold air, and then took out a cigarette and lit it: "So many brothers died here. If the zombies hadn't been handled properly before, I'm afraid it would have been miserable."
"Mainly the zombies inside that office building opposite. Maybe they had the same idea as the Little Eagle Society before, storing zombies and luring a few to kill them for fuel when needed..."
"Almost got screwed to death. Fortunately, the surroundings of our Tianma Island were just cleaned up. It's really a coincidence!"
"That's true. If the tens of thousands of zombies around Tianma Island were still alive, just thinking about it is terrifying..."
While everyone was talking, there was a sound from the walkie-talkie.
"Hello, friend, I am Hu Yongan from Niuyazi, south of Qincheng. Our camp has suffered a serious blow. Brothers, many brothers have died. We escaped. I want to ask how things are on your side, what is the situation with the Survivor Alliance, and is it safe?"
"How far can this walkie-talkie be used?"
Zhang Su saw Wu Lue squatting nearby smoking, so he asked.
Wu Lue stood up, took the walkie-talkie in his hand, looked at it carefully in the dim light, and said: "This piece of junk has a communication distance of at most three or four kilometers in the city."
"Three or four kilometers... Mr. Zhang, Niuyazi is at least fifteen kilometers away from us. They might have already entered the Qincheng urban area!"
Yu Wen analyzed very quickly.
"That's not necessarily true..." Wu Lue touched his chin and said: "Liao Youzhi left behind so many contact walkie-talkies for various forces, especially since he also had contact with the Beihe District side. I think it's very likely that he used a walkie-talkie relay station. That thing placed on a high building, adding ten or twenty kilometers of communication distance is no problem. If we want to realize communication between several places, we must also use a relay station."
Zhang Su understood, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Niuyazi Hu Yongan, right? I am very sorry to tell you that Liao Youzhi is already dead. Where are you now, and what is the specific situation?"
The situation was becoming more and more severe. Zhang Su did not reject accepting new survivors, and it was also very necessary to supplement new people, but he had to at least figure out the specific situation of the other party, such as the relationship with Liao Youzhi. He only simply said that Liao Youzhi was dead, without saying how he died, waiting to see the other party's reaction.
In this world, few people are willing to go through fire and water for friends, but it does not exclude people with such loyalty. In case someone is a close friend of Liao Youzhi, coming here would just be looking for trouble for himself.
Soon, in the time it took to take a puff of a cigarette, the other party responded.
"Ah? Old Liao is dead... really didn't expect it. Leader Liao managed the Survivor Alliance quite well, didn't expect he would meet with an accident.
Then how is the Survivor Alliance now? Is Qincheng no longer safe? Who are you? Are you the new leader of the Survivor Alliance?"
A quick response meant the other party didn't have time to make up a story, which could better reflect their true thoughts. From the other party's tone, it was not difficult to judge that the relationship with Liao Youzhi was relatively ordinary, perhaps they had only had trading dealings before.
After saying this, before Zhang Su could reply, the other side continued: "My situation here is completely screwed. After the weather changed today, the zombies in the nearby villages all rioted. At first, I didn't know, thought it was just a small-scale situation, didn't take it seriously, kept killing them, and as a result...
Sigh, it's a long story. In short, our camp had over a hundred people, and now there are less than thirty of us brothers left. Brother, we humans don't screw humans, let's be honest, what is Qincheng like now? Can we still go there?"
Zhang Su didn't consult the people around him. He frowned and thought for a moment, then replied to the other side: "The situation in Qincheng is also very bad. This rainfall has made the zombies very powerful. In the afternoon, a large-scale zombie group attacked the mall, and we lost over a hundred people in one battle. We just stabilized the situation half an hour ago.
It's not just you contacting me; the Little Eagle Society and the Apocalypse Group have also been attacked and are preparing to come over to defend together. If you have the ability to come to the city, I am very welcome, and I can provide basic material security. But if you expect me to send people to save you, there is absolutely no possibility. Currently, we can only hold our ground."
Being able to make a promise of material security was Zhang Su's greatest kindness, which could be considered the bottom line of being human.
"Brother, I hear your voice and you should be younger than me. I am almost fifty, so excuse me for calling you brother. From your tone, I know you are the new leader of the Survivor Alliance. This change is too sudden. I will keep your promise in mind. We will find a way to go to the city. If there is a chance to meet, please take care of us. We will contribute our strength in the future!"
The words were not fully spoken, but the meaning was clear: as long as they could reach Le Gou Mall, they were willing to merge together.
"No grudges, no hatred, I think you don't have anything I can covet. That's it, I hope we can meet. Good luck."
"Same, good luck to you, thank you!"
After thanking each other, both sides ended the call.
Niuyazi Town is between Qincheng and Beihe District. Originally, the traffic was very smooth, and there was occasional contact between the two sides, but now the situation has become unknown.
"Brother Su, why didn't you tell them that the Survivor Alliance is gone and that our Tianma Island has taken over this side?"
Wu Lue asked in confusion from the side.
"There is no need for that for now." Zhang Su shook his head slightly, his face showing caution.
In the past, releasing the news that Tianma Island had unified the northern part of Qincheng could deter small-minded people and make those with ulterior motives stop, while also attracting survivors who truly wanted to join and develop together.
But now it's different. After the danger escalated, some people had no way out. Once they knew the situation in the north of Qincheng, they might have crooked thoughts. Don't fear thieves stealing, fear thieves coveting!
