Chapter 640: Tail in the air

"Boss Zhang, you're finally back. Yo... this is, do you have guests?"

Ding Yongguo saw Zhang Su get off the car, holding a metal container slightly thicker than an arm, and walked to him, but found a strange face in the passenger seat. Judging from the dress and style, he didn't look like a survivor fleeing for his life.

At the same time, several other unfamiliar people got off the cars behind, and their dressing styles were different from the style of the Tianma Mountain crowd.

Having guests visit was very common in the past, but it seemed very sudden in the apocalypse.

Zhang Su saw the heavy container in Ding Yongguo's hand and knew he was asking for fire to smelt steel. He promised him in the morning, but was busy and forgot in the afternoon.

*Pat* on the forehead, he said: "Old Ding, you've been busy all day, don't you plan to take a break?"

Ding Yongguo didn't participate in the selection test. He had endless work to do every day. Relying on special skills was enough to gain a foothold in the camp, and his own martial arts were enough. Besides, blacksmithing was not light work, and the intensity might be higher than the training of the Reserve Legion.

"I haven't worked for a long time, and my hands are itching. Hahaha, I'm not tired at all. By the way, Boss Zhang, I got a great formula that will definitely make the big *tachi* tough and sharp. It just needs high-temperature smelting. I heard that guy's fire is fierce. Let's go, hurry up and help me smelt it!"

Ding Yongguo leaned into Zhang Su's ear and patted the heavy iron can in his hand like a treasure.

Zhang Su saw Ding Yongguo in high spirits, plus the expectant gaze of Ju Wuying on the side, nodded, signaled him to wait a moment, and then looked behind him: "Bozai, entertain a few friends to the restaurant, I'll be there in a while!"

"Oh, okay. Come, a few friends, please this way."

Lu Yubo was very good at entertaining people.

"Boss Zhang, where are those guests from? If it's convenient to say, say it. If it's not convenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

The two walked toward the box truck of the fire-breathing zombie, Ding Yongguo asked curiously.

Zhang Su took off his gloves, took out a cigarette, handed one to Ding Yongguo, and said: "There's nothing to keep secret. They came from the Dragon Head Camp in the Shanhai District. There is a huge zombie group moving toward the Shanhai District, hoping we can send troops to resist it together."

"No way, it's so far from here to the Shanhai District. I'm afraid it's not peaceful on the way!"

Ding Yongguo recalled the days of displacement in the past and couldn't imagine how many hardships they would experience on a journey of dozens of kilometers.

Zhang Su smiled and said: "People from large camps have many ways. There are companions along the way to lure the zombies away, so there shouldn't be any danger."

"Then do you plan to send someone to help... never mind, I won't ask about this. It's my fault for being wordy, hehe... By the way, Boss Zhang, that brat came back just now, proud as can be. Did he really pass the test this afternoon?"

Ding Yongguo put away his curiosity and asked about Zheng Ziwen.

"Passed two items. Old Ding, Xiao Zheng is not as bad as you said. Are you deliberately acting for me? Where is he?"

Zhang Su looked in the direction of the blacksmith shop and didn't see Zheng Ziwen.

"Acting my ass. That brat is so arrogant. As soon as he came back, he told me he wouldn't blacksmith anymore, and then went back to his room to rest. Damn, his tail is in the air. I thought he entered the Reserve Legion, but it turned out to be the Elite Legion, this little thing!"

Ding Yongguo looked very dissatisfied, but the smile on his face betrayed him.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Xiao Zheng can enter the Elite Legion, he really won't have much time to help you in the future."

The Elite Legion not only had to be responsible for field missions but also had high-intensity training, and their daily schedule was very full.

While talking, Zhang Su walked to the box truck, handed a cigarette to Wang Longzhong who was guarding the truck, and said: "Old Wang, thank you for your hard work."

"It's my duty, not hard work, hahaha. Is this to smelt steel ingots for Master Ding?"

Wang Longzhong knew a little about the blacksmithing process.

"That's right. Come, move aside, pay attention to safety!"

While talking, Zhang Su sat on the truck and started to operate.

The fire of the fire-breathing zombie was no joke. He turned the cargo box to aim at the open area, and then let Ding Yongguo put the welded and sealed iron can on the ground. *Clang*, the cargo box opened, and a zombie covered in flame patterns was imprisoned on a frame made of I-beams. Not to mention it was a zombie, it looked like a flame king suffering from divine punishment.

"What an overbearing temperature!"

Ding Yongguo poked his head and looked at the fire-breathing zombie, feeling the heat wave rolling. No matter how many times he looked at it, he felt shocked.

The not-so-small movement attracted many people in the camp. The busy day was coming to an end, and everyone was waiting for dinner, so they all gathered around.

"Old Ding, this fire is particularly fierce. You have to shout 'stop' two or three seconds in advance. There is a process for stopping the fire!"

Zhang Su said to Ding Yongguo while entering the password and holding the iron chain.

"Alright, the material is also very overbearing, it's not so easy to smelt, hahaha."

Saying that, Ding Yongguo also took a pair of sunglasses out of his pocket and put them on, which was convenient for observing the situation in the flames.

No more words, Zhang Su pulled the iron cable. After about two seconds of silence, a roar erupted from the cargo box, and at the same time, a fire dragon sprayed out, impacting the steel can body.

*Whoosh, plop, roar, roar... *

The fire-breathing zombie seemed to have no consciousness, but it had been enslaved for a long time and was accumulating anger. The full anger poured out, and the 30-40 meter long flames illuminated the entire Tianma Mountain! The people of the Yama Legion had long been used to it, but they still liked to appreciate this explosive scene. As long as the fire-breathing zombie was controlled by humans, it was a resource that could be utilized, and it was also a sharp weapon against zombies at critical moments.

At this moment, the five people, including Shen Linrui, who were sitting in the Little Lucky Restaurant drinking water, all looked at the window. The extraordinary firelight, coupled with the strange sounds of *whoosh* and *haha*, made them feel a shock.

"May I ask Little Brother Lu, what... what is this movement?"

Shen Linrui pointed to the fiery red window and asked Lu Yubo.

"Oh, it's okay, they're lighting a fire in the blacksmith shop. Old Pan, I say you're not young..."

Lu Yubo naturally knew what was going on, perfunctorily said a word, and then continued to chat with Pan Guoliang.

The flame spraying lasted for about thirty seconds, and Ding Yongguo shouted: "Stop!"

*Clang... whoosh, plop. *

The heavy iron plate fell, cutting off the flame spraying, leaving only the flame tail sweeping past.

Originally, it wasn't completely dark, but after the flames stopped abruptly, the people watching the fun only felt pitch black in front of them, leaving only the small can standing on the ground red.

Ding Yongguo walked up, took the iron tongs to clamp the can body and observed it, changed his orientation, continued to walk outside the car window, and said: "Come again ten, no, eight seconds."

*Whoosh, whoosh, plop, plop... *

Repeated many times, after spending three or four minutes adjusting four or five times, Ding Yongguo walked away with the red can, beaming with joy.

"Thank you."

Ju Wuying had been standing in the dark. Seeing Zhang Su jump off the truck, she walked up to thank him.

"You're too polite. Helping you improve your strength is good for the camp, and I'm also relaxed. By the way, I gave the drawing of your Ju-Yihe to Teacher Yu, let him show it to people in the village below. If there is any news, he will tell me."

Zhang Su said to Ju Wuying.

"Trouble you. I'll go to the blacksmith shop to see if there is anything I can help with."

Ju Wuying thanked him again, then turned and walked toward the blacksmith shop. She heard before that Zheng Ziwen was arrogant after passing the test and didn't intend to continue helping in the blacksmith shop, so she went to help, very anxious to get a handy weapon.

Zhang Su walked toward Little Lucky, intending to ask more about the Dragon Head Camp, took out the walkie-talkie and planned to call Yu Wen together, but thought about it, and put the walkie-talkie away again.
