Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

"Fruit Man, you’d better tell the truth."

Zheng Xinyu didn’t have a good impression of Zhang Xin and didn’t trust him. She put her hands on her hips and questioned him fiercely. If subordinates did something out of line, it might ultimately cause Leader Zhang to suffer a loss of honor. She was protecting Zhang Su’s image.

"I really didn’t steal it. I’m at least a small leader myself, right? I’ve got some reserves in my pocket... I saw this knife looked a lot like Brother Su’s, so I just discussed with that guy and swapped for it. I’m telling the truth; a lot of people saw it!"

Zhang Xin hurriedly explained, but it made him seem very guilty.

"He really didn’t snatch it. I can testify... well, you could call it a forced exchange."

Tan Huajun appeared in the corridor and said this for Zhang Xin. She witnessed the whole process personally.

"A forced exchange... so the other guy wasn’t really willing, huh? You’re something else!"

Zhang Su gave Zhang Xin a stern look and said seriously, "As a leader, you have to lead by example. Don’t do such embarrassing things in the future! You should still be mindful of the basic influence, don’t let this habit spread."

"Got it, got it, I remember now."

Zhang Xin accompanied his words with a sheepish grin as if granted a huge pardon.

Zhang Su did not pursue it further. He understood that too much cleanness meant no fish could survive. Besides, in the current environment, enough is enough. He reached out to Zhang Xin, "Let me see the knife, it does look similar!"

"Here, here..." Zhang Xin quickly handed it over with both hands.

Zhang Su took the military saber from Zhang Xin and examined it, making a "hiss" sound, frowning, and then touched his waist, only to find it empty.

"What are you feeling for when you’re not even wearing a belt? Let me get it for you!"

Zheng Xinyu took the sheath from the tactical belt at the head of the bed and handed it to Zhang Su.

The two knives were placed side by side. Except for the degree of wear, they were practically twins.

"Brother, this..."

Zhao Dezhu leaned in; he also had a dog leg military saber. He pulled it out for a comparison; triplets!

The handling of details was roughly the same. In terms of wear, the one Zhang Xin swapped was the most severe, and it was the only one without Zhang Su’s exclusive "Z"-shaped flash engraving.

"Brother Su, didn’t you say these military sabers were crafted by a master? This is... a production line product, right? Did you order it online and then have someone stamp it?"

Lu Yubo teased with a peculiar expression. He had wanted one at the time but had lost to Zhao Dezhu during the military saber distribution and didn’t get one, holding a grudge ever since. Now he really wanted one too, even if it was a production line product, it was a high-end production line!

"You’re full of shit!"

Zhang Su gave Lu Yubo a sidelong glance and looked at Zhang Xin, "Is the knife really that guy’s?"

"Yeah." Zhang Xin nodded and then shook his head, "But I’m not sure how he got it. Maybe he picked it up halfway? That old man doesn’t seem like someone who plays with high-end knives."

"This thing isn’t something you can just pick up... Wasn’t the guy’s last name Ding?"

Zhang Su flipped through Zhang Xin’s knife, already certain in his mind that this knife was from the same craftsman as his, but the problem was that his knives had never been sold!

"Oh..." Zhang Xin froze, then gave an awkward smile. "Seems like it."

"Are you just bullying people for your gain? How do you handle review work?"

Zhang Su was very displeased. Whether it was snatching or forcibly exchanging things was one thing, but work involving the review of strangers must not be sloppy!

"That uncle’s last name is Ding, I remember."

Zheng Xinyu raised her hand, like a student answering a teacher’s question.

"Ding, Ding, Ding, yes, I remember now. His name is Ding Guoyong, right, Ding Guoyong!"

Zhang Xin was sweating, and what made him sweat even more was the voice coming from behind him.

"You’re the one called Ding Guoyong, damn, I remember people calling him Ding Yong Country, are you dumb?"

Wu Baokang somehow circled to a nearby spot, gave Zhang Xin a helpless glance, thinking, you have a good relationship with Yama, don’t ruin it like this!

"Damn, it really is Old Ding, haha!"

Zhang Su knew the answer when Zhang Xin shouted Ding Guoyong’s name wrong, and a smile appeared on his face as some old memories surfaced. "Let’s go, take me to find Old Ding."

"No, no, I can call him up. How can a leader lower himself to find an ordinary member..."

"That’s called deigning to lower oneself, with the silk thread radical and a ’thus’ phonetic in it, what the heck is ’lower oneself’?"

Zhang Su quipped as he put on his tactical belt.

"Oh come on, in this state, it’s too late to start learning culture now, haha." Zhang Xin laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, that might not be the case. For the future continuation of human civilization, we still have to rely on us. Do you still want to sell fruit in the future? Maybe you’ll be a teacher teaching kids how to read and write then?"

Zhang Su chuckled playfully, and the group headed downstairs, coming across Liu Yao and Yang Xinqi who were about to notify about a meeting. So, a big group of people headed downstairs.

Walking out of the safety corridor, Zhang Su looked up and saw two ragged figures, an old one and a young one, leaning against the entrance of a shop to nap.

Just arriving here, there was no place to stay. It took some time for allocations; finding a safe place to catch some sleep was already good enough. Besides, it was quite warm here. The two leaned against the wall and soon fell asleep.

People walking around noticed Zhang Su’s group appearing suddenly, and quickly greeted them with respect.

"Good morning, Leader Zhang, haven’t had breakfast yet? It’s already being prepared."

"Good morning, Brother Zhang, you’re up really early!"

"Leader Zhang, dealing with all sorts of matters, you’ve worked hard."

Compliments flowed continuously. Zhang Su was their savior, and their attitude of respect towards him came from the heart, completely different from the perfunctory way they treated Liao Youzhi back then.
