"Ugh, ugh..."
Zhang Su glanced at the two people who couldnât stop vomiting, silently shook his head, and didnât say much. After all, they werenât part of his team, so they could do whatever they wanted.
Soon, the first wave of six or seven zombies had been wiped out, leaving bloody goo splattered everywhere, dirtying many items in the convenience store.
"Xiaoshan, go lure the zombies out!"
Zhang Su cocked his head at Zhong Xiaoshan.
"Mm!"
Zhong Xiaoshan was about to go without hesitation, but was stopped by someone else.
Kuang Miao reached out to block Zhong Xiaoshan, smiling, "Sis, let me go, I can handle it!"
Zhang Su raised an eyebrow, saw Zhong Xiaoshan looking at him as if asking for his opinion, and nodded, not saying much else.
Seeing the approval, Kuang Miao quickly ran towards the main entrance.
"Iâll go with you!"
Chen Hanzhou looked at the other two companions, gritted his teeth, and followed Kuang Miao towards the convenience store.
"Look at these two, knowing to seize the opportunity to train, then look at those two..." Zhang Su couldnât help but shake his head, simultaneously giving Lu Yubo a look.
Lu Yubo understood what Zhang Su meant, looking at Song Yijun and Pei Lan who were recovering on the side, and clicked his tongue in frustration.
The work of attracting zombies wasnât difficult. Kuang Miao and Chen Hanzhou just clapped their hands at the office door, and zombies immediately followed them out.
Killing zombies according to plan only required overcoming inner fear and nausea, the really scary thing was unexpected situations. This way of luring zombies bit by bit and then killing them was the easiest task.
After repeating this a few times, Zhang Su and his group finally killed all the zombies in the convenience store.
"Ah!"
When Zhang Su opened the back door and went out again, he startled Master Zhao.
"You, you killed all those zombies?"
Master Zhao sat against the wall, looking up at Zhang Su, disbelief written all over his face!
"Kuang Miao, the four of you get these guys into the store, then you can eat and drink as you please!"
Zhang Su didnât pay any attention to Master Zhao.
"Really? Great, come on, Chen Hanzhou and I will guard this fat one, Song Yijun, you watch that uncle, Pei Lan, youâre responsible for that woman!"
Upon hearing Zhang Suâs words, Kuang Miaoâs eyes lit up green, immediately issuing orders.
As a small commander within the student group, the others didnât have any objections and executed immediately.
As Zhang Su watched Kuang Miao and the others take Master Zhao and the other two away, he turned to Tan Huajun and said, "Old Tan, can the generator be dismantled?"
"It can, it can, but Iâm afraid I canât do it alone, itâs pretty heavy and will need some help."
Tan Huajun nodded immediately.
"Bozai, Xiaoshan, go help, and load it directly onto the Haranda later!" Zhang Su nodded towards the car.
Zhong Xiaoshan shook her hands repeatedly, "My carâs already full, unless we move some supplies down!"
"Oh right!" Zhang Su slapped his forehead, looking at Lu Yubo, "Thereâs room in the H6, right? Load it onto your car then."
"OK!"
Lu Yubo nodded immediately, indicating no problem.
The three of them quickly ran towards the place behind the house where the generator was installed.
"Letâs go say goodbye, it counts as working together, and letâs grab a few more things while weâre at it!"
Zhang Su patted Zheng Xinyuâs arm, naturally putting an arm around her shoulder as they walked into the convenience store together.
"This is delicious, damn, Iâve never thought cucumber-flavored chips could taste so good!"
"Thatâs nonsense, my instant noodles are the best, damn it, get your own, thereâs still plenty, donât grab mine!"
"Donât you guys dare take my chocolate..."
Upon entering the convenience store, they saw Kuang Miao and the others devouring food, munching eagerly on various snacks, even Pei Lan dropped her ladylike reserve and stuffed her mouth full, gulping down water when she started choking.
In the face of hunger, everyone is equal, a disaster showed the student group the hardships of the world.
Master Zhao and his two companions looked miserable, thrown into a corner, though the student group showed a bit of humanity by finding them a clean place.
"So, are you enjoying the food?"
Zhang Su asked Kuang Miao and the others with a smile.
"Enjoying it, absolutely!"
"The food and drink we risked our lives for taste amazing!"
"Brother Su, arenât you going to eat something?"
Kuang Miao offered the chips in his hand to Zhang Su.
Zhang Su waved his hand and then said, "Todayâs cooperation had quite a few flaws, but the completion was decent. As night is falling, we should also be on our way. Farewell, everyone!"
"What!?"
"Brother Su, are you leaving now?"
"Donât, donât go, arenât you staying the night here?"
Kuang Miao and the others immediately stopped eating and drinking, a wave of panic rising in their hearts.
The short-term cooperation made them dependent on Zhang Suâs group, making them feel secure. Hearing they were leaving, this rare sense of security instantly shattered.
"Hey, big brother, let us loose first!" Master Zhao, sitting on the ground, urgently shouted.
Even the older man lost his composure and hurriedly said, "Sir, where are you going? Please take my daughter with you. Sheâs sick. I beg you to save her!"
Zhang Su guessed the woman was the older manâs daughter and estimated she had some illness, certainly not a zombie bite, or she would have turned by now.
He made a weird face at Zheng Xinyu, thinking it was just a simple farewell, only to find these people had quite a few issues.
Ignoring Master Zhao and the othersâ words, Zhang Su looked at Kuang Miao and said, "No need to stay overnight. We plan to move to another place to rest. This place... well, tidy up a bit, and sleeping here for a night shouldnât be a problem!"
"Eh eh eh! What are they doing, is this... Brother Su, is that your partner... is that car his?"
Suddenly, Song Yijun noticed someone loading things into a car, leaving him shocked.
"Thatâs right! We were resting in this convenience store before, but later someone drove in and brought over a hundred zombies, so we had to retreat!"
Zhang Su revealed the truth and continued, "As per the agreement, half of the items inside the convenience store belong to us. You can keep the food and drinks, but weâll take the generator."
"Sir, I beg you, please save my daughterâs life. Iâll kneel to you, kneel to you!"
The older man stood up and started kneeling and kowtowing to the ground.
The nearby woman finally reacted, coughing and using her body to shield the older man, weakly saying, "Dad, donât do this. Iâm fine. Just a good rest, and Iâll recover!"
"Qingqing, you get some rest!" The older man moved his body to push his daughter aside, once again kowtowing to Zhang Su, "Sir, please, my daughter has the flu and needs some anti-inflammatory and fever medicine. If there is a pharmacy, you can definitely get it. Please save her, save her!"
Zhang Su stepped aside, avoiding accepting the older manâs kowtwos, and shook his head heavily, "Sorry, I canât bring someone who has no ability to protect themselves. Itâs irresponsible to the safety of my companions and me!"
Kuang Miao and his group felt heavy-hearted hearing Zhang Suâs words.
They thought Zhang Su was cold-blooded, but also understood he made sense. They even envied him for making such a ruthless decision because they might not be able to refuse if they faced such a request themselves!
Zheng Xinyu stood aside, lowering her eyes, without expressing any opinion. She felt sorry for the sick woman but also knew there was no way to take her along. With her struggling to walk, she would likely become a zombieâs food if they stepped out of here.
"I will protect her, her dad and I together will protect her. Can you take us together then?"
The one speaking wasnât anyone else but Master Zhao.
Zhang Suâs gaze turned to Master Zhao, suddenly a figure floated into his mindâWang Guangjun, who similarly held the door to stop him from going in!
On the surface, Master Zhao and Wang Guangjunâs actions of closing the door were selfish, but from their standpoint, they did nothing wrong.
Surviving the apocalypse isnât a fairy tale; often, people can only follow their selfish instincts.
"What do you do?"
Zhang Su asked Master Zhao.
"I work in the fresh food section of Guangli Supermarket, killing fish. Big brother, I was wrong before. Take us with you. I promise you wonât regret it; Iâm great at killing zombies!"
Master Zhaoâs face was filled with sincerity.
Zhang Su understood and said, "So itâs the Guangli Supermarket on the east side? Good, itâs good, killing fish is good..."
Finishing, he stepped forward and cut the ropes tying a few people, saying, "Since you can protect her, go by yourselves. No need to follow me!"
"This..." Master Zhao initially thought the other party agreed to let them join but didnât expect this outcome.
"Big brother, thereâs strength in numbers! Outside itâs all zombies, letâs go together, and carve out a world!" Master Zhao thumped his chest.
At this moment, Lu Yubo walked into the convenience store and got furious hearing Master Zhaoâs words.
"You think you can carve out a world. If you could really do that, would the convenience store end up like this?"
Lu Yubo pointed to the empty windows beside him.
"Brother Su, this big brother is indeed a bit, um... inadequate in his tasks. However, I think his words are correct, thereâs strength in numbers. More than ten people are stronger than just five. Can we join you?"
Kuang Miao got to the point after some preamble, finally revealing his true intention.
This wasnât just his personal wish, but a decision made after discussing it with his companions while Zhang Su was talking to Master Zhao.
Zhang Suâs groupâs combat power and decision-making ability were incomparable to several of them, the difference was astronomical. In the past few days, out of eleven people only four remained. If they hadnât met Zhang Su today, he didnât know how many of the four would still be alive...
"What, what are you... are you treating this as a shelter? Except for the fish killer, you three, what can you do? Old man, you holding a rolling pin, are you a cook?"
"And you four!" Zhang Su turned to look at Kuang Miao and the others, "Kuang Miao and Chen Hanzhou, you still have room for development. Pei Lan and Song Yijun, whatâs your situation? Itâs been days since you escaped school, and you still puke when seeing zombies. Do I look like a babysitter?"
The more he spoke, the more Zhang Su got frustrated.
"Brother, Brother Su, theyâll work hard. Please donât be angry. I promise they will grow!"
Seeing Zhang Su taking a step to leave, Kuang Miao hurried forward to grab him and pleaded.
