Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person - Chapter 129 100: Night Operation

“Earlier, I didn’t finish what I was saying before Song Yijun interrupted. Going to Yileiwen Convenience Store to save people is one thing; I left the community heading for Yileiwen because there are some important weapons there!”

Zhang Su said to everyone, sitting cross-legged, with eyes glistening.

“Brother, what weapons are so crucial that you have to go, guns?” Zhao Dezhu asked boldly.

Zhang Su nodded with a mischievous smile, “Calling them guns isn’t wrong either. From the perspective of dealing with zombies, they’re even more useful than guns! There are two crossbows and some well-crafted cold weapons!”

“Brother Su, why didn’t you sell those to us before!” Lu Yubo felt frustrated as soon as he heard.

Zhang Su rolled his eyes at Lu Yubo, saying, “Sell them to you? If I really sold them to you, you’d be reincarnated as soon as you could, and I’d end up in jail. Jeez!”

“Well, keeping them isn’t right either…” Lu Yubo mumbled.

“It’s just a convenience store, which department would come checking so rigorously, must be nothing better to do…”

“They’re coming, everyone come and see!”

Suddenly, Tan Huajun, who was watching from the window, beckoned everyone over, looking very tense.

Zhang Su knew what she meant, he rushed over to take a look in the direction of the main road, and the zombie horde appeared in the distance!

“It took them over fifty minutes to walk from over there, these guys move very slowly, at this pace, they only cover a mile in an hour.”

“They can only move five hundred meters in an hour? That’s just a few meters a minute… that’s really slow, even if they don’t stop, it’s only ten kilometers a day.” Tan Huajun calculated, feeling the horde’s speed wasn’t much of a threat.

“That’s one way to look at it, but see them discover a target and they go berserk, at that point, who knows…”

“Damn, if we get surrounded by them, there might not be a hair left of us.”

Zhao Dezhu felt a chill at Zhang Su’s words.

“Zhao Dezhu, could you be a bit more civilized?”

Yuwen really couldn’t listen anymore; he’s at least a language teacher, and this son-in-law was swearing like that, he couldn’t stand it.

“Okay, okay…” Zhao Dezhu didn’t dare talk back to his future father-in-law.

The group quietly stood by the window, watching the horde of zombies shamble past at a distance.

After a long while, when the last few zombies finally disappeared from view, Zhang Su stopped the stopwatch, murmuring, “Nine minutes! Based on speed calculations, this horde is nearly a hundred meters long from front to back!”

Hiss.

Everyone couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

Among them, only Lu Yubo and Zhao Dezhu, due to their low education levels, couldn’t do the math. The others quickly calculated the length and width of the zombie horde and the number per square meter, arriving at a startling number!

Ten thousand!

A street, twenty meters wide, dragged out a hundred-meter-long queue, with five zombies per square meter, meant two thousand square meters had a full ten thousand zombies, even conservatively estimated, there were seven to eight thousand.

The difference between seven to eight thousand and ten thousand is negligible for any survivor team!

Zhao Dezhu wasn’t wrong; if this horde surrounded them, given their current situation, they’d be doomed.

“Hopefully, those bastards in the store don’t make a noise, if they get discovered by that horde, then Sister Xue…”

Wu Lue’s face darkened.

Zhang Su casually patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, those guys thought of using someone to gain sympathy and trick you into opening the door, they’re definitely not fools! By the way, Wu Lue said there are six of them there, all young and strong, definitely not pushovers. Who’s coming with me for tonight’s action?”

“I am.”

“I’m in!”

“Brother Su, count me in!”

…

Apart from Yuwen and Pei Lan, the others all chimed in.

“Mr. Zhang, I think not everything has to be resolved by force. Since they’re humans, we can try negotiating, don’t you think?”

Once things calmed down, Yuwen voiced his opinion.

“Negotiate?” Zhang Su asked with some amusement and shook his head, “Teacher Yu, do you honestly think it’s like before when people were reasonable? Maybe when civilization is rebuilt and there are laws to negotiate with, but for now, might is right, weapons are the truth.”

Yuwen was receptive, nodding approvingly, and continued, “If there’s a chance for negotiation, to avoid risk, it would be best.”

“Of course, if they’re willing to negotiate terms, I’d be more than happy. But from what I see, it’s impossible!” Zhang Su fished out a pack of cigarettes, intending to light one, but found the pack empty, squished it into a ball, and tossed it aside.

“Brother Su, I’ve got some here!”

Lu Yubo eagerly handed him half a pack of cigarettes.

Zhang Su lit one up and said, “Despite everyone wanting to go, we have to leave someone behind here!”

With that, he scanned the faces of the others and said, “Xiaoshan, you stay to take care of Teacher Xiaoyu, Old Tan, you continue keeping watch!”

With all supplies here, Zhang Su naturally assigned two trusted companions to stay behind.

“Brother…”

Zhao Dezhu mumbled with a strange expression, “Firstly, I’m not underestimating women, but are you sure the three of them can protect themselves?”

“Um, Brother Su, I’m a bit worried too.”

Tan Huajun rubbed her hands together, always hugging the vernier caliper that Zheng Xinyu taught her, keeping her weapon at hand and practicing whenever possible.

Zhong Xiaoshan understood Zhang Su’s arrangement, first for the safety of supplies, and also considering there are six people on the other side, they must bring enough combat power, but the defensive forces could be a bit too thin.
