"Ah..."
The villagers from United Village squatting around were scared to death by the gunshots, repeatedly dodging in the opposite direction.
They sowhat held a skeptical attitude, thinking the woman who had been trying hard to persuade them wouldn't actually fire, but they were wrong!
Blood flowed everywhere, Yu Qing's face was covered in tears, sotis smiling, sotis sorrowful, sotis indifferent, her emotions were very complex.
"I did it... Evildoers should be killed, killed, dead! I did it, right?"
Yu Qing muttered to herself, then turned to look at Zhang Su, as if she had completed so mission.
"Yes, you did it! You punished the villains who intended harm upon you with decisive action, this is your transformation. Rember what I said earlier, don't feel guilty or remorseful. Zhuzi, take your wife back to the car to rest!"
"Alright, alright, wife, co on, let's go..."
Zhao Dezhu quickly supported Yu Qing and walked towards the RV.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for giving Qingqing a chance to grow."
Yuwen walked to Zhang Su's side and said softly, as Yu Qing's father, he had often tried to persuade her, telling her that in the apocalypse the human heart is treacherous, and she needed to be ruthless, but it had little effect...
Zhang Su nodded but didn't say much, clapped his hands, and walked to the center, saying, "Alright, let's discuss what to do with you all now."
After taking down three people in a row, the remaining villagers from United Village were like startled birds, feeling a chill all over upon hearing Zhang Su's voice.
"I just heard about West Official Camp, soone co explain what happened?"
"I'll say, I'll say!"
A man in his twenties mustered the courage and said, "Our United Village was ford by rging survivors from eight villages. Xiaoxin Village, Wanggezhuang, and West Official Camp have the most people, so the three villages take turns managing things, this week it's West Official Camp's turn!"
"Hey, a tiny village still takes turns governing, alright... Co on, those who want to live, bring out the people from West Official Camp!"
Zhang Su's tone heightened, causing everyone in United Village to be taken aback.
But soone imdiately sprang into action, and with disorganized movents, they pressed six n to the ground.
Zhang Su looked at the n lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and nodded to himself, thinking they were indeed the ones causing trouble earlier!
"Hey, are you all just going to watch? Soone co help!"
Intending to clean up the people from West Official Camp, Zhang Su glanced to the side and found his own people just standing around, staring blankly.
"Hehe, Brother Su, I'll help you."
Lu Yubo initially didn't understand what Zhang Su ant, but after hearing him, imdiately got it, eagerly approaching, although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were very cold.
Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan didn't speak, silently walking to Zhang Su's side, they both knew what Zhang Su wanted to do, willing to help share the burden.
Following closely, Zhao Xue, pulling Wu Lue, along with Yuwen, all three walked to Zhang Su's side.
"Eh? No need for ? Alright, each of you pick one."
Zhang Su spread his hands.
"Hey, what are you going to do? You can't kill us, what right do you have to kill us!?"
The villagers from West Official Camp being pinned on the ground finally understood what the others intended to do as they saw them approach with guns, thoroughly panicking and struggling intensely, but unfortunately, each had two or three people pressing down on them, unable to move at all.
"What right? Just because you rob and bully, I'm not a defender of justice, but you brought it upon , and you ask why I have the right to kill you?"
Bang!
As he spoke, Zhang Su got angrier, pulling out his pistol and putting a bullet in the man who was shouting.
"Ah..."
The villager pressing firmly on the man's neck felt a slight vibration travel up his arm, then saw the man's head below with a bloody hole, scaring him to tumble to the ground.
"Do it!"
Bang, bang, bang...
At Zhang Su's command, the others were unhesitant, raising their guns and picking off the n on the ground.
After the gunfire, blood covered the ground, and the scene fell silent.
"I saw you taking the lead in capturing people from West Official Camp earlier, what's your na?"
Zhang Su walked up to a man.
"I... I'm, I'm Wang Xingui!" The man's heart pounded wildly, but he mustered the courage to answer.
"Wang Xingui, let ask you, you were the most enthusiastic in capturing people from West Official Camp earlier, why? Personal vendetta?"
Wang Xingui felt a wave of tension, then steeled himself and said, "They were terrible, eating but doing nothing, if it were just for food and drink, it would be fine, but even when they have enough..."
He then supplented with so of the evil deeds done by the West Official Camp villagers, not treating people as people, completely not for survival needs, various tortures and killings just for fun.
People from other villages had long disliked the West Official Camp folks, but due to the cooperative relationship, there wasn't direct conflict, making it difficult to deal with them.
"Brother, you all have done a great service today... To be honest, those from West Official Camp are worse than zombies!"
At the end, Wang Xingui spat onto the ground.
"There are no good people in West Official Camp? If they were so bad, why did you still rge with them?"
Zhang Su felt a bit puzzled, and also sowhat doubtful of Wang Xingui's words.
"West Official Camp initially had the most people, and it split into two factions internally, the good side was killed off... leaving only these bandits, we had no choice but to rge, not rging would lead to infighting, which everyone didn't want."
"Only during West Official Camp's managent did they take everyone to rob, we didn't want to do it!"
Wang Xingui explained again, and others nodded in agreent beside him.
If not for having observed previous incidents and details, Zhang Su would find it hard to believe Wang Xingui's words, but seeing the reaction of United Village's villagers now, it fell within his expectations.
"Wang Xingui, right? You seem quite capable. From now on, you'll be the one managing United Village. Who's in favor, who's against it?"
Zhang Su looked at the people of United Village.
Who's in favor? Who's against it?
The crowd looked at each other, thinking, "You're asking who's against it when there are a dozen people holding rifles?"
Unanimously approved, no one opposed.
"The people from West Official Camp Village are all dead. Will you have any trouble when you go back?"
Zhang Su asked.
Wang Xingui shook his head without hesitation, "If those won who were taken know about this, they'd be too happy. They'll surely be grateful to you!"
"No need for gratitude. I have a question. Where did all the zombies in Beidong Town go? Don't tell you wiped them all out!"
Zhang Su voiced his initial doubt.
"How could we wipe them all out? There are too many. We took turns relaying and lured the nearby zombies to an abandoned quarry over there."
Zhang Su exchanged a glance with the people beside him. There are still lots of smart people in this world.
"Brother Su, now that you ntion it, I think it's also very likely that so of the zombies in West Camp Village were lured away!"
Chen Hanzhou frowned and said.
"Exactly, exactly!" The person who answered quickly shouted, "This little brother is right. We actually learned it from West Camp Village. They lured a large number of zombies downstream to Chuhai River..."
"Downstream..."
Zhang Su grinned widely; isn't downstream just where Shuwa Village is? He marveled at the farrs' wild tactics.
"Do you still have any usable vans in your village?"
Zhang Su switched topics and asked.
Wang Xingui scratched his head and said, "Yes, we have quite a few. By the way, brother, what's your surna?"
"My surna is Zhang."
"Oh, oh, Brother Zhang, do you want a van? I'll give you one!" Wang Xingui said generously.
Zhang Su shook his head and said, "What I want is food. We helped you clear out the West Official Camp; isn't that worth sothing? How about a van full of rice, flour, oil, along with vegetables and at? Doesn't it sound like a good deal?"
"A good deal, a good deal, even two vans would be fine. Boss Zhang, I'll get you two vans!"
Wang Xingui was montarily stunned and then nodded vigorously.
The people at West Official Camp had a lot of supplies stored up; it was basically spoils of war.
"Bozai, Teacher Yu, Master Jia, go back to the village with the folks and let everyone know that Wang Xingui is taking over United Village!"
Zhang Su waved to the three n.
Lu Yubo and Jia Shiqin didn't understand Zhang Su's intention, but Yuwen had an inkling, a hint of a smile ford at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly felt more amiable towards the people of United Village.
After arranging everything, Zhang Su walked over to Tan Huajun, saw Mo Qianlan standing beside her with a pale face, like a frightened little quail, and jokingly teased her.
"Little beauty, are you scared by this scene?"
Mo Qianlan spoke very little after joining the team. Usually, she would only talk with her mom and chat about ani with Zheng Xinyu. When she heard Zhang Su talking to her, she was at a loss for words.
"Lanlan, Uncle Zhang is talking to you."
Tan Huajun saw her daughter shyly looking down like a gourd and patted her on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Uncle, for your concern. I'm... I'm okay, I'm not afraid, not afraid of dead people, just a little afraid of zombies."
Mo Qianlan finished speaking and lowered her head again.
"Hey!" Zhang Su turned to Zhong Xiaoshan and said, "Hey, Xiaoshan, just like you, afraid of zombies, not afraid of dead people."
"No way, is Nurse Zhong that brave but still afraid of zombies?"
Soone questioned on the spot.
"Co on, that was just when the disaster first broke out, okay? Adapting takes ti!" Zhong Xiaoshan said, holding her forehead.
Zhang Su smiled and patted Tan Huajun on the shoulder, "Old Tan, you're the fierce woman in our team; your daughter should have your flair."
Tan Huajun's curly hair was tied up, and her confident face wore a smile as she said, "Brother Su, don't worry. My daughter and I together are definitely more than two!"
Everyone knew what she ant, even if Mo Qianlan slightly lagged behind, she could make up for it!
About half an hour later, Zhang Su and his group were back on the road. Originally, there was only one Prado between the two RVs, but now there were two more vans.
Zhang Su learned from Yuwen about so things that happened in the village, confirming that his observations and Wang Xingui's words were correct. The real villains were indeed the people of West Official Camp!
"Big brother, no wonder those guys from West Official Camp liked doing robbery on the road; these two vans were pulled from West Official Camp's warehouse, and they're quite full!"
On the van, Zhao Dezhu said cheerfully over the walkie-talkie.
"West Camp Village received six hundred catties of rice and flour, and United Village loaded over two thousand catties of various supplies. It'd be so much effort to sweep through them on our own!"
Zhong Xiaoshan roughly tallied the supplies, recorded them on her phone, and shook her head, marveling.
"This can't last forever. We need to find a place to settle down."
Zhang Su wasn't overly thrilled by this unexpected gain. Their group was 20 strong, consuming about forty to fifty catties of food daily. Additionally, they needed forty liters of water. Even with ample stockpiles, long-term consumption would be unsustainable. Only by finding a spot for sustainable developnt could they secure stability.
"Celestial Horse Island?"
After leaving Beidong Town and walking about two kiloters, Zhang Su saw a brown road sign for a tourist attraction, informing passing vehicles that five kiloters further north was a 4A scenic area called Celestial Horse Island.
