Chapter 23: The Apocalyptic Survival Principle
Su Ze didn't say a word, and took Liu Ren to Shuanglong District again.
On the way, Su Ze found that he was heading in almost exactly the same direction as a transport truck, which was traveling between Jinhua Stadium, the base camp of the Iron Wolf Gang, and Shuanglong District.
Eventually, they found a cement plant!
There is no doubt that Su Ze's father was trapped as a slave in this cement factory.
When Su Ze and Liu Ren returned from the cement factory in Shuanglong District, it was already evening.
Again, they scouted there sufficiently.
Su Ze's every move was very cautious, because this action could be said to have involved his father's life.
When he returned to his home, the first thing he did was to find his mother and Zhu Lan, and first confirmed each other's safety.
They cleaned Su Ze's house from the inside to the outside on this day, and even found someone to help install the door together.
Since this door was kicked and broken by Wang Wu that time, Su Ze has been blocked by a locker every night.
As Su Ze's family members, the requirements put forward by the two of them were all very actively completed, nails, hammers, wrenches, and various parts needed to install the door were all found by everyone.
After a full day of cleaning by the two women, his home now looks cleaner and tidier, like new.
Su Ze saw it and felt very happy.
And he found that his mother and Zhu Lan were already very familiar with each other, as if they were really a family, and Su Ze was even happier in his heart.
With Su Ze as the bond of affection, the two of them regard each other as their future mother-in-law, and the other as their future daughter-in-law, and the two are actually very easy to get along.
In addition, both parties are very good people, and they will not deliberately find fault with each other or find trouble, so how can they not get along well?
"Son, I told you something, some of them wanted to come in to help, but as soon as they entered the door, they fainted and haven't woken up yet."
Su Mu pointed to the two people lying on the ground and said, her expression was a little worried about them.
Probably out of kindness, Su's mother also put cardboard under them.
Su Ze's eyes froze.
He went to check the system's message records, and sure enough, there were two break-in records in the morning, and he might have been busy with other things at the time and didn't pay attention.
"The illegal intruder 'Gu Huaishan' has been temporarily deprived of consciousness."
"The illegal intruder 'He Ping' has been temporarily deprived of consciousness."
Access permissions can be set in his safe zone, and at present, only himself, his mother, and Zhu Lan can enter and exit freely.
If he needs someone to come in and out, he will temporarily give that person permission, and when he doesn't need it, he will directly cancel it, anyway, for Su Ze, this is just a thought that can be done.
This is Su Ze's way of protecting his important people, although it is said that all fights can be prohibited in his safe zone, but what if anyone tricks his mother or Zhu Lan out of the house and then does it?
After all, he can't fully trust his group of people at the moment, and he will never allow anyone to endanger the safety of his family, no matter what.
Su Ze told his mother and Zhu Lan about the reason why these people fainted, and the three characteristics of the safe zone he created.
He told his mother and Zhu Lan again that he must stay in his house when he is not there, no matter what happens, it will be absolutely safe here.
They all responded cautiously, and they all knew that the end was full of crises. Therefore, security cannot be overemphasized.
Su Ze dragged the two people outside the house, and the two of them automatically came to their senses.
"No one will be allowed to enter my house without my permission." Su Ze said coldly.
The two had just woken up from their coma, and when they heard this, they understood what was going on, and quickly nodded yes and left.
"Son, after all, people want to help kindly, why do you have such a bad attitude?" Su Mu put on the usual tone of lesson.
Zhu Lan also agreed a little on the side, but it was impossible for her to talk to Su Ze like Su Mu.
In fact, in their impressions, Su Ze has always been a friendly, sunny and cheerful big boy before, and today's performance is indeed a bit surprising.
They were all waiting for Su Ze's answer.
And Su Ze actually saw more things, although he had a kindness in his heart, he was by no means a bad person, and his kindness was by no means a fool.
In the face of his family's questioning, he patiently replied:
"It's the end of the world now, not the past, anyone can kill someone for a bite to eat, just to live for themselves."
"If someone tries to do something bad to you while I'm away, or wants to threaten me by controlling you, I can't afford to do anything as long as this kind of thing happens once."
"Moreover, the reason why these people are so enthusiastic and willing to help is entirely because of my strength, just because after the end of the world, the strong will be kings, follow me and even please me, they will be able to get more shelter."
"Their respect for me is not because I am helpful, nor because of how good my popularity is, but because of my indifference and unkindness, they will break off the intention of harming me and those around me as soon as possible."
"Remember, it's the end of the world!"
Su Ze's words were simply deafening, like a wake-up call in the hearts of Su Mu and Zhu Lan.
After the apocalypse, they have also seen countless cruel and despicable human natures, but since being rescued by Su Ze, their living conditions have changed drastically, not only do they not need to worry about food and water, but they can even take a bath.
Moreover, the people around them were very kind to them, and for a moment, they felt that they had returned to the pre-apocalyptic life.
Su's mother thought that when she communicated with her son before, it was more that she and Zhu Lan were talking, and Su Ze was playing the role of a listener almost the whole time.
She didn't have time to ask, how has her son lived in the past six months? How did he get such great strength? What did he go through to make such a big change?
Today's son's words made Su's mother realize that her son is no longer what it used to be.
Although he still looks like a big boy under 20 years old, with a slightly immature face, his heart has matured far beyond his years and has the ability to act boldly and decisively.
She also realized once again that her current safety can be said to be completely dependent on her son.
When Zhu Lan heard Su Ze's words, she was also alerted.
Yes, the most terrible thing in the apocalypse is the bottomless human heart, which she deeply understands.
And the kind of concern for her revealed in Su Ze's words all expressed how important her status in Su Ze's heart was, which seemed to Zhu Lan as if she was directly expressing her heart to her, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and her heart was very sweet.
At dinner time, they still had some quick bagged food, because there was really no better choice at the moment.
Last time, there were indeed rice, noodles and other grains from the Iron Wolf Gang, and even some fresh vegetables, but now making a fire for cooking is also a problem, and the supply of natural gas has long been cut off, and electrical appliances are not used, because the electricity is also cut off.
The Iron Wolf helped the people in the camp of Jinhua Bridge to use a gas stove for cooking, but how could Su Ze and the others move a live gas tank and gas stove over?
They now value food, water, and guns above all else.
Although Su Ze's ability is fire, this fire is difficult to use for cooking, completely because the temperature is too high, and Su Ze's own control over this fire is far from being able to be used for cooking, and there is a certain danger in rashly using it for cooking.
At dinner, Su Ze told Su Mu and Zhu Lan that he would go out at night and let them rest early.
Hearing this, Su's mother was a little speechless, she wanted to ask Su Ze when he was going to save his father, but she was afraid that such a question would put pressure on her son.
Because she knew that saving people under the hands of those vicious Iron Wolves was to risk her life.
She was conflicted, she wanted her husband to come back safely, and she didn't want her son to take that risk.
In the end, she didn't ask.
And Zhu Lan just opened her eyes wide and whispered to him to let him be careful, because Su Ze was almost the only person she cared about now.
How smart is Su Ze now?
He knew what his mother wanted to say when he saw that she wanted to say something.
This trip was indeed to rescue his father, but he would not say it in advance to make his family look forward or worry.
After all, no matter how worried they are, they can't help a little, so it is better to directly rescue their father and reunite the family.
He was going to bring his father back intact.
He must do this.
Not long after, Zhou Li and Li Changyong returned.
It seems that they have completed the task they have given them, Su Ze thought to himself.
"Boss, today we contacted a total of 6 survivor settlements and sent out 8 guns." Zhou Li walked into Su Ze and said.
