The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 24 The Second Day (Merry Christmas to all the book friends who celebrate Christmas)

"I don't understand why even such a powerful weapon can't kill zombies..."

Zheng Xinyu squatted on the ground and choked in a low voice, feeling sad for the heroes who had sacrificed their lives, sad that she could not wait for rescue, and disappointed because of the bleak future.

"I have thought about it before, what do carbon-based organisms mean in front of artillery fire? But now I don't think so anymore."

Zhang Su shook his head and continued: "My idea is that if the military and police systems are all intact, zombies can be easily exterminated with firepower, but... if the zombie virus is infected indiscriminately, then..."

Human thermal weapons are indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful the weapons are, they still need people to control them. People, living people, living people without infection are the key.

"If that's the case, wouldn't there be no hope for rescue?"

Zheng Xinyu looked at Zhang Su with tears on her face, a look of despair in her eyes.

If they can't even compete with powerful thermal weapons, how can they, ordinary people who have never even touched a gun, compete?

"Why is there no hope?" Zhang Su put his hand on Zheng Xinyu's cold back and said firmly: "To live is to live with hope. Live with all your strength until the end!"

Lying back on the bed, they were obviously very sleepy, but the two of them tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. In the end, they squinted out of nowhere for some reason. When they woke up again, it was already past nine in the morning.

"I'll go check out Brother Li's house upstairs." After breakfast, Zhang Su said while looking at Zheng Xinyu who was clearing away the dishes.

After getting up, neither of them mentioned the cigarette last night, as if everything was normal, natural and logical.

No one takes advantage of anyone, no one suffers, there are only souls and bodies that comfort each other in times of crisis.

Zheng Xinyu wiped the bowl clean with a paper towel, nodded and said, "Do you need me to come with you?"

If it were yesterday, she would have wondered why Zhang Su was in such a hurry to search for supplies at other people's homes, but after last night's scene, she understood that this would be a protracted battle and a longer-term plan was needed!

To take a step back, even if nothing goes wrong in Sheng Qin Homeland, their ability to go out and search for supplies is very limited, so it is always right to start with the nearest place first.

"No, I'll go by myself. You can lock the door later and continue to exercise. Don't just train your upper body strength, you need to train your lower body as well!"

Zhang Su said, walked to the window, opened a crack slightly and took a look. The sky was cloudless and clear. If it weren't for the black smoke floating everywhere, it would be a really good weather.

"Got it! Let me help you put on the arm guards."

Zheng Xinyu carefully put on Zhang Su's arm guards and said with concern: "If there is a situation, don't take risks!"

"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

Zhang Su pinched the moist-faced Zheng Xinyu, picked up the ax from the ground and walked towards the door.

"Ok?"

Observing the situation outside the door through the peephole, Zhang Su suddenly discovered that the corpse of the zombie that they blasted yesterday was gone, and what was left was a dark stain extending from the door of 802 to the safety exit!

Originally, he planned to observe the situation in the corridor before considering moving the body away. Unexpectedly, someone had already dragged the body away first...

"The zombie bodies outside are gone!"

Zhang Su's scalp tightened, and he turned around and said to Zheng Xinyu not far away.

"This...has anyone come to our place? There are still living people in the building!" Zheng Xinyu said with a strange expression: "But even if there are people, why do we need zombie bodies?"

Zhang Su shook his head: "I don't know! Ask Zhong Xiaoshan."

Gently opening the door and pushing it open a crack, Zhang Su did not step out immediately, intending to observe the situation in the stairwell, but at this moment, the sound of the door opening sounded from the opposite side.

Zhong Xiaoshan walked out of the door. Different from yesterday's nightgown, today she put on jeans and a tight knit sweater, with a look of haggard on her face.

"It's me! It's me!"

Zhong Xiaoshan walked to the 801 door and saw Zhang Su with a wary and suspicious look on his face. He pointed to the security door and said, "I dragged the body away, don't be nervous." "You!"

"伱......"

The disbelieving voices of Zhang Su and Zheng Xinyu sounded at the same time. He looked at the frail woman in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, feeling very unbelievable in his heart.

From the beginning to the end, the two of them never thought that Zhong Xiaoshan would do this, but this was good, at least they dispelled the suspicion of whether someone had been here.

"Well...the corpse is always blocking the door. Not only is it in the way, but the weather is not very cold yet, it will rot and breed germs, which is not good for us..."

Zhong Xiaoshan spoke softly, looking haggard but her condition was obviously much better than yesterday.

"You are very courageous and very strong..."

Zhang Su opened the door and let Zhong Xiaoshan into the house and said.

Zhong Xiaoshan smoothed her oily hair and smiled sheepishly: "The handsome man complimented me. Being a nurse in the hospital is not a good thing, so it gave me a good exercise."

"Very impressive. Well, are you here for dinner?"

Zhang Su asked, agreeing to help Zhong Xiaoshan cook instant noodles and snail noodles so as not to go back on his word.

Zhong Xiaoshan shook her head and said: "No, I am... I came here to tell you news. We may not be able to wait for rescue for a while!"

"You're talking about the firefight on the street over there last night, right?"

Zhang Su frowned and pointed in the direction of the firefight last night.

"That's right, all that fierce gunfire didn't defeat the zombies. I...I don't want to wait to die. I want to be with you, okay?"

Zhong Xiaoshan explained her intention very directly.

She almost stayed up all night last night. After seeing that tragic scene, her heart felt as if there was a huge stone weighing on her, extremely heavy.

Zhong Xiaoshan has always placed her hope on the army more completely than Zheng Xinyu. When she saw that even hot weapons could not withstand the torrent of zombies, she almost despaired.

Zheng Xinyu got out of despair with Zhang Su's encouragement, while Zhong Xiaoshan relied on a night of hardship, shrouded in darkness and fear, to ignite the fire of hope for survival in her heart.

She knew very well that if she was just a female figure, living in Sheng Qin's home would be a problem, let alone breaking out. If she could join Zhang Su and the others, it would be a very good choice.

Unfortunately, the decision whether to join or not is not in her hands.

Zhang Su looked at Zhong Xiaoshan carefully from top to bottom, and immediately understood that taking the initiative to clean up the zombie corpses was her way of showing off her abilities.

"I don't need a woman who screams when she sees a zombie."

Speaking of this, Zhong Xiaoshan's fair cheeks turned slightly red, she pursed her lips and said, "I promise I won't do it again in the future. Yesterday was because it was the first time... but I have a strong ability to accept it!"

After speaking, Zhong Xiaoshan puffed out her chest, as if to express her determination to her superiors.

"Relying on words won't work. If you want to prove yourself useful, now is a good opportunity!"

Zhang Su saw the changes in Zhong Xiaoshan. Putting aside the behavior of being a mistress, there was something redeeming about her. She could get out of despair and inspire a strong desire to survive. This is great!

The desire to survive is very important at this moment. If your heart is full of pessimism, you will be in a negative state when you do anything, and death is not far away!

　I wrote 40,000 words of the story in one day, and I am sure many book friends would say that I am being embarrassed.

　　Just to highlight the protagonist’s ability to take action ahead of other survivors.

　　On the first day of the disaster, we did not sit back and wait for death, but actively faced it. This is the key factor to stay ahead of the vast majority of people.
