Chapter 712 - 583: No Time to Rest

"Xiaoshuai, Dakun!"

After the feast, the Yama Corps gathered together, ready to return to Celestial Horse Island, and Zhang Su called out to the crowd.

Qi Xiaoshuai and Pang Dakun heard the call and immediately came to Zhang Su’s side.

"Uncle, what’s up?"

"Brother Su, is there a task?"

Perhaps they were young enough, their spirits were still high even at midnight.

"That’s right, there’s a job for you two to handle."

Zhang Su put his arm around their shoulders, walked aside, and said, "I’m still worried about the situation in the city. I originally planned to send someone to West Camp Village tomorrow, but thinking it over, it should be tonight!"

No one knows if or when or how fast the zombies will head north, so vigilance is needed at all times.

"Alright!" Qi Xiaoshuai nodded in agreement upon hearing the task.

Pang Dakun was equally enthusiastic: "Shall we head over now?"

"Go ahead, find a car, take your weapons, be well-prepared. If you face zombies, don’t fight them head-on. If you meet suspicious people, take them down without hesitation!"

Zhang Su patted their shoulders.

"Big brother, what are they off to do?"

Zhao Dezhu, seeing Zhang Su return to the crowd while Pang Dakun and Qi Xiaoshuai hurried away, asked curiously.

"They’re off to stand guard at West Camp Village. Hey, Old Wang, Old Hu!"

As Zhang Su was about to organize everyone to go back up the mountain, he suddenly noticed the Niu YaZI crowd standing by the bonfire and remembered he hadn’t arranged accommodations for them, so he hurried over.

"Brother Zhang, tonight’s meal was so abundant. I haven’t had such a satisfying meal since the disaster began. Everyone is really grateful!"

Wang Guangjun, seeing Zhang Su approach in the light of the fire, quickly thanked him.

Hu Yong’an also quickly clasped his hands together: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your hospitality. We are flattered and overwhelmed."

"We’re all brothers, no need for that, I’ve been so busy I forgot to find a place for you. Village No.1 has quite a few empty courtyards left. You can find a place to stay first, and tomorrow we’ll have someone help register you. Old Wang, come on up the mountain with me."

Zhang Su waved his hand, then called Wang Guangjun to Celestial Horse Island.

Wang Guangjun hesitated a bit, shaking his head: "Brother Zhang, maybe it’s not right; me and my brothers..."

"Old Wang, Brother Zhang is looking after you, just accept it. Why squeeze in with the rest of us? And, beautiful sister is waiting for you!"

Hu Yong’an, seeing Wang Guangjun hesitating, quickly added.

Tan Huajun, listening nearby, felt a bit shy and turned her face away.

"Yes, Dad, we can’t let Brother Zhang’s thoughtfulness go to waste. I think the best choice is to follow the arrangements."

Wang Zhetao also spoke up to persuade.

Wang Guangjun thought he indeed shouldn’t insist too stubbornly, and said to Zhang Su: "Brother Zhang, then I’ll accept your offer graciously."

"That’s more like it. Let’s go, brothers, back home, rest!"

A command was given, and the remaining Yama Corps members returned to Celestial Horse Island, and the Fire-breathing Zombie’s vehicle wasn’t left in Village No.1, it was brought back too.

The Wang Family moved into the last empty suite at Wangshan Inn, becoming neighbors with Ding Yong Country and Zheng Ziwen.

They had previously mentioned catching up with Wang Guangjun, but that was a matter for the future. Today, everyone was quite exhausted, and after returning to Celestial Horse, they all went back to their homes to rest.

"Ah... finally over!"

Back in Little Lucky, Zhang Su lay flat on the bed, sprawled out, unwilling to move, glanced at the energy slot in his mind which showed 75%, but his mental exhaustion far exceeded that percentage!

"Being the boss is like this. Here, I’ve prepared a delicious meal for you, dig in, it’s tasty..."

Zheng Xinyu had returned home ahead while Zhang Su was arranging accommodations for Wang Guangjun, preparing a luxurious self-heating hot pot and placed it on the table, the self-heat packet crackling, steaming hot.

Zhong Xiaoshan, as usual, went to the surveillance room for her shift, unchangeable duties no one could substitute.

"Ha, the wife is the most considerate!"

Zhang Su sat up at once and went to the table, picked up chopsticks and ate; he really hadn’t eaten much, it was like consuming a hundred calories and expending a hundred and twenty.

"With so many prying eyes on you, of course I want to appear more caring, hehe..."

Zheng Xinyu pulled a chair over beside Zhang Su and leaned on the table, watching him eat.

"Crazy." Zhang Su rolled his eyes at Zheng Xinyu, speechless: "Is your mind filled with these thoughts?"

"Ha! You’re wrong; my mind doesn’t dwell on those things, it’s those women trying to get close to you who think like that!"

Zheng Xinyu sat up straight suddenly, continued: "You think I was just eating and didn’t notice anything before? At least ten women were casting glances at you."

"Yeah, exactly, casting glances and then?"

Zhang Su slurped a mouthful of konjac noodles, asking.

"Then... and then nothing more, you didn’t respond, hey, eat your meal, don’t talk so much..."

Zheng Xinyu, finding herself outtalked by Zhang Su, simply stopped speaking.

After a moment of silence, she sighed, said: "Suddenly there are so many people, I wouldn’t know where to begin either, you must’ve burned a lot of brain cells?"

"Ha, not bad, there’s indeed much to consider, but now with Teacher Yu and Old Li helping with advice, it’s much easier."

"So many people came to our table to greet you tonight, do you remember them?"

Zheng Xinyu shifted the conversation, asking.

"I remember some, why?" Zhang Su picked up a tripe piece, blew on it, and stuffed it in his mouth.

"I remembered those two kids."

Zheng Xinyu raised her eyebrows, her expression a bit wistful.

Zhang Su, chewing his food, mumbled: "Yu Ziyan and Zhang Hanshuo?"

There are quite a few kids currently on Celestial Horse Island, ranging from four to eighteen, totaling ten, two of them are Mo Qianlan and Pang Dakun.

"Yes." Zheng Xinyu nodded her head on her arms, displeased: "That Ping woman clearly exploits the two kids to garner sympathy, and she’s biased towards males, Yu Ziyan’s face is ruined, is a little girl so undeserving of attention? I don’t like her!"

Zhang Su knew Zheng Xinyu’s dislike referred to Peng Xiuping, shrugged: "Zhang Hanshuo, a teenager with a determined gaze, strong enough body, as long as he works hard, he definitely has a promising future. Little girls are different, not to say females are weak, just look at Yu Ziyan... she can only do minor chores at most, if you were taking care of them both, who would you prefer?"

"But..." Zheng Xinyu pursed her lips: "Alright, you’re right, but what if she decides to give Yu Ziyan’s resource quota to Zhang Hanshuo?"

"Who knows?" Zhang Su cast Zheng Xinyu a strange look: "Do you think our camp has grown enough to start considering humanitarian issues? No such leisure!"

"No, it’s just me worrying, I know we’re very busy now." Zheng Xinyu grimaced.

"To be honest, there’s hardly any rest time; those zombies in Qin City, who knows if they’ll head north. Tomorrow we’re preparing to send people to West Camp Village to cultivate, once the newly arrived people are settled, we’ll immediately start building a defense belt around Chuhai River!"

A simple statement, yet it involved many aspects.

Zheng Xinyu took a deep breath, put on a lousy smile: "Maybe I saw Yu Ziyan and thought of some childhood things, so I empathized."

"Peng Xiuping has two kids now, that’s already formed a family, their internal family problems are not someone else’s concern. What, you want to establish a women’s and children’s protection association to handle cases where boys are favored over girls?"

Zhang Su joked.

"Not so exaggerated, just felt the kids... Alright, enough about this, busy starting tomorrow? Give me an interesting task, I don’t want to be stuck watching monitors at the camp!"

Zheng Xinyu volunteered for a task outside.
