Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

"I wouldn’t say it sweeps through everything, but as long as it’s not a bullet to the head or blown to bits, there’s always a chance to save."

Zhang Su seemed modest, yet it was quite a Versailles moment. Now is the prime time to win people over. He’s not about to make the limitations of the Zombie Thalamus known to the public; already he’s being quite genuine by not exaggerating.

"Could it be... this drug was researched by Dr. Fu?"

Previously, Zhang Xin didn’t really take the talk of the doctor’s research seriously, but now thinking back, it suddenly clicked.

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable." Li Zongkai, with the demeanor of an old cadre, circled around Liu Yao, constantly expressing his amazement.

"Damn, it’s practically a miracle of God..."

Yang Xinqi is a Christian, though it’s uncertain whether God would favor a believer who swears so much.

"This isn’t some miracle of God; Captain Zhang was right. This is a drug researched by Dr. Fu, and because the raw materials are extremely rare, it’s impossible to use for minor pains and injuries. It was only because Director Liu was injured by my kick that I took out a piece."

Zhang Su said very seriously.

"Yes, yes, sigh, if I had known the effect was so impressive, I wouldn’t have used it. The injury isn’t light, but it definitely won’t kill me. Damn, what a waste of such a good thing!"

Liu Yao looked incredibly frustrated, sincerely feeling that it was a squander of a valuable item.

Zhang Su smiled and shook his head: "You’ve kept your promise; now you count as a member of Celestial Horse Island. Seeing as your combat ability isn’t weak, you’ll definitely have a chance to enter the Yama Corps later. Members of the Yama Corps have a priority supply, so go ahead and use it."

"Ah!"

Liu Yao shouted excitedly, then laughed: "Haha, right, right, I’m no longer Director Liu of the Little Eagle Association, I’m now part of Celestial Horse Island. Almost forgot about that. Are you saying I could join the Yama Corps? Hahaha, that’s wonderful..."

Liu Yao was overjoyed, not at all looking like someone who just transitioned from a leader to an ordinary member. Anyone unaware might think he was about to take over leadership of some faction.

Zhang Su noticed that while Liu Yao was speaking, the 18/77 behind Little Eagle Association in his mind changed to 19/77. The outcome was evident; among the three who disagreed was this guy right here. It seemed he wasn’t completely convinced before, not until Zhang Su revealed the spirit medicine that could treat wounds!

Indeed, mere coercion isn’t enough; combined with incentives is needed to fully conquer someone.

Zhang Su thought Liu Yao was actually okay; interacting with him wasn’t as annoying as it initially seemed. This guy might have some little schemes, but not overly complicated. Overall he seemed straightforward; perhaps that touch of cunning was developed out of necessity after becoming a leader. Before that, he was probably like Lu Yubo, a pure War General.

Yang Xinqi pursed his lips, about to speak, but Zhang Xin beat him to it.

"Younger Brother Zhang, I think splitting us into several factions isn’t beneficial for future development. How about you spearhead integrating the northern part of Qin City and Qing County together, do you think it’s possible?"

In his urgency, Zhang Xin blurted out the title he used when exchanging words with Zhang Su before. However, only Yuwen noticed this detail, while the others didn’t find it inappropriate.

Yang Xinqi lagged slightly but better late than never. He supported himself on the table, stood up, and said: "I strongly agree with Captain Zhang’s suggestion and am willing to fully cooperate in advancing the integration work. King Yama, when it comes to merging the Apocalypse Corps into Celestial Horse Island, is there any particular ceremony or process needed?"

Given the situation, Yang Xinqi saw the bigger picture clearly—first there was the close connection between Civilization Guardian and Celestial Horse Island, then Liao Youzhi and Gong Chengming’s factions consecutively fell, followed by the complete integration of Little Eagle Association into Celestial Horse Island, marking the end of North City Four Tigers and the person leading this new era sits right in front!

"Ahem..."

Zhang Su rubbed his nose, realizing that while Yang Xinqi expressed his willingness, the Apocalypse Corps’ 9/133 number didn’t move—which may not necessarily mean Yang Xinqi had made up his mind beforehand—but there’s a chance he’s still pretending. This complicates things, making it hard to determine the opponent’s true intentions!

But regardless, Yang Xinqi’s proposal to bring his people into Celestial Horse Island is genuine; a little patience is all it takes to verify his sincerity.

Zhang Su didn’t expect events to unfold so smoothly; he anticipated the recovery of Little Eagle Association and Apocalypse Corps would require some maneuvering, with both parties needing ongoing negotiations over interests. The results were genuinely unexpected!

"Everyone, your ability to become leaders of factions is not without reason; foresight is an ability ordinary members hardly possess. But I must address some concerns beforehand!"

Zhang Su stated, looking at the group: "You all believe merging will aid in development, but not everyone within your factions might think so; remember those who previously split from Civilization Guardian? If your subordinates’ opinions don’t align with yours, then what?"

First, I need to make a bottom line clear—even if opinions differ, killing the innocent is out of the question!"

Zhang Su had no clue what the others thought but insisted on putting his point forward. He understood not all organizations could unite like Celestial Horse Island, excluding Satellite Village.

Li Zongkai’s mind was previously as calm as a still lake, but upon hearing Zhang Su’s words, his heart skipped a beat, and others frowned as well.

The taste of power is enticing. As leaders of factions, they clearly know the allure of power. Yet, in the choice between clinging to power for survival or self-amusement, they can be rational—but it doesn’t mean their subordinates will share the same rationality.
