“They didn’t find the stuff I hid, did they?”

Zhang Su asked anxiously.

“They’re definitely going to rummage through everything. I don’t know if they’ll find it.” Wu Lue replied uncertainly.

“Alright, let’s assume they’ve found it and be ready to respond! As long as they haven’t left, we can get it back! They haven’t left, have they?” Zhang Su was very concerned about the weapons he left at Yileiwen, all of them top-notch.

Wu Lue thought for a moment and said, “I heard them saying that they plan to stay in the city for ten days to half a month. If there’s no rescue, they’ll go to Funing; apparently, one of their parents runs a strawberry greenhouse over there.”

“Alright, those guys are doomed!”

Zhang Su nodded, looked at the time, it was already four o’clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting darker. He glanced back at the street behind him and vaguely saw a dark mass in the distance.

The appearance of the zombie horde was eerie and strange. Fortunately, their movement was very slow, making it not too hard to avoid them, although their purpose was unclear.

“There’s a zombie horde on the west side of the road. Let’s first find a place on Xiangyang Road to rest and avoid the passing zombie horde. We’ll figure out how to rescue Zhao Xue at night!”

After saying that, Zhang Su started the vehicle and led the way forward.

Wu Lue was surprised to discover that the other three cars were following behind, exclaiming, “Brother Su, are they all following you? You’re amazing, you’ve pulled together a team so quickly.”

“Stop the flattery, I don’t want a team, I just want to live my old life again!”

Zhang Su pouted, pulling a cigarette from his pocket.

Wu Lue, very instinctively, took the lighter from his hand, struck it a few times, and lit the cigarette, just like he used to at Yileiwen.

“Yes, life was so much better before… Oh, right, Brother Su, do you have any news about our boss? Thanks to the stuff in the store, Sister Xue and I made it through, hehe.”

As they spoke, they reached the intersection, continuing straight for over fifty meters to Yileiwen Convenience Store, while turning left or right led to a side street next to a main road.

Zhang Su took a deep drag of the cigarette, rolled his eyes at Wu Lue, and said, “Stop grinning like an idiot, I’m the boss, you fool!”

Slowing down the car, he looked around before turning towards the side with fewer zombies in sight.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Wu Lue had another bout of violent coughing, staring at Zhang Su in shock, suddenly realizing, “Oh my god, Brother Su, it had to be you, I’m impressed, really impressed!”

At this moment, countless questions in Wu Lue’s mind suddenly made sense. No wonder Zhang Su always scolded him every time he took things from the store, no wonder he was always nagged for wasting water and electricity in the store, no wonder his every move while on shift was monitored…

“Stop with the nonsense, Luezi, the world’s changed drastically. No one can protect you, except yourself! I can save you once and maybe not a second time, you need to adapt quickly, got it?”

“How do I adapt… Brother Su?”

Wu Lue asked naively.

“When you were kicked out by those guys, how many zombies did you kill?” Zhang Su asked.

Wu Lue, with a strange expression, replied, “Kill zombies? I just ran, those things are terrifying. If you’re scratched, you’re infected; I saw it with my own eyes!”

“Never would’ve guessed, you’re that weak but still managed to run… That’s right, the zombie virus is terrifyingly infectious, but that’s no reason to be afraid of zombies. The first rule of adapting to this world is to have the ability to kill zombies on your own!”

As Zhang Su spoke, he spotted a dry cleaner with a relatively intact shopfront and pulled the car over.

Wu Lue nodded, looking conflicted, knowing Zhang Su wouldn’t deceive him, though he felt very unconfident, “I’ll try my best…”

“Why the hell are you so spineless, it’s not about trying, it’s about giving it your all. Come, watch how we do it first!”

After saying that, Zhang Su got out of the car, kicked over a zombie coming out from a nearby noodle shop with a thud, and then swung an ax hammer a few times, taking care of the zombie.

“Did you see how to kill zombies now?”

Zhang Su turned his head and said to the astonished Wu Lue.

“Yes, I saw…” Wu Lue nodded like a pecking chick, finally realizing that the zombies he feared as though they were fierce tigers weren’t so hard to kill!

The others, without needing instructions, had already formed a basic understanding, dealing with any threats after getting out of the car and then regrouping.

“I’m sure you all saw that zombie horde earlier. It seems like they’ll keep following the road straight. Let’s rest here for now and eat!”

Zhang Su ordered.

Everyone nodded, going back to their cars to get food and drinks.

As per agreement, the four student group members had rations for two, but since half of the convenience store’s supplies belonged to Kuang Miao and his group, Song Yijun and Pei Lan could eat their fill too.

The situation for Yuwen’s group of three was also manageable. They got rations for two from Zheng Xin, which was enough for three if they were careful, mainly because Yu Qing wasn’t very hungry.

“Hey, Xiaoshan, quickly give Teacher Xiaoyu the medicine, use a little more. Also… give her two stewed eggs, she needs nutrition as a patient.”

Zhang Su thought merely suppressing someone wasn’t the way, combining kindness with strictness was necessary to win people’s hearts.

“Thanks, big brother, you really are a top-notch good person, haha!”

Zhao Dezhu laughed happily.

“Thank you, Mr. Zhang.”

Yuwen nodded continuously, grateful, having judged the young man’s capability through brief interaction. Unlike Song Yijun, he didn’t look at Zhang Su with bias. Through Zhang Su’s series of actions, he saw meticulousness, decisiveness, shrewdness, and ruthlessness!

Yuwen made a decision in his heart to follow closely behind someone like that, never falling behind!
