"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about Li Zongkai anymore. Is there anything else?"

Zhang Su instantly understood; this was probably a side effect of the Loyalty Brand, jealousy of those around him? Possibly, but it’s not important.

Ju Mumio nodded and said, "Also, Yang Xinqi seems interested in me, Zhang Xin has a subtle hostility towards me, and Liu Yao is a bit afraid of me."

"Yang Xinqi is interested in you? Haha..."

Zhang Su couldn’t help but laugh, teasing, "Handle these trivial matters yourself; I won’t interfere. I trust you can manage them well."

Ju Mumio nodded, stood up to open the car door, and said, "Of course, I can handle them well."

With that, she left the car to find Zhong Xiaoshan for some wine.

Once everyone had left, Zhang Su began speaking to Yuwen: "Teacher Yu, don’t you think our camp’s development is a bit too fast?"

"It is a bit..."

Yuwen adjusted his glasses and said slowly, "According to the best arrangements, the construction of defensive fortifications and the camp’s population growth should correlate. In the current situation... it’s actually not bad!

The barracks, Lego Mall, kindergarten, and car city can all serve as our branches. Once the communication infrastructure is complete, the whole area will be integrated offensively and defensively. If one side faces difficulty, all sides can provide support, and the frontline will be unbreakable!"

"Of course, before that, we must clean up the internal environment, which means not only personnel screening but also clearing out zombies. Connecting the five outposts, the internal area’s scope is quite large!"

Zhang Su nodded and said, "Yang Xinqi can send people to the Development Zone as undercover in Absolute Justice. We can’t rule out other forces infiltrating their four families. With more people, there are bound to be troublemakers. Even if communications are fine, we still need someone in charge; choosing the right person is crucial!"

"There are many who can take on this role: Xiaowang, Old Wang, Xiaoguo, Xiaoqi. If you’re willing, you could even train Xiaolu. But I strongly suggest not to send Zhao Dezhu. You might think I have a bias, believing external assignments are dangerous, but compared to personal danger, being unable to control the situation can pose greater risks to others!"

Yuwen said very seriously.

Zhang Su paused, then laughed, "I admit Wang Xin, Wang Longzhong, and the others are capable. But, can’t believe, Old Yu, you look down on your son-in-law so much; Zhuzi has recently improved!"

"He has made progress, and he treats Qingqing well. However, if you let him manage a group, I would strongly oppose it. At most, he can lead a team of three to five for missions, limited to clearing zombies. That’s his limit!"

Yuwen shook his head gently, acknowledging everyone has their strengths. Zhao Dezhu’s advantage is in combat power, but he is definitely not skilled in management. It’s a hundred percent certain that his greatest strength is action.

When directed, Zhao Dezhu can operate at 102% capacity, but without direction, he could misuse 80% of his strength, making a mess of things!

"There’s no rush to decide on personnel for this area. Let’s talk after integrating all the people into our camp. It seems like it’s about time to expand the Yama Corps!"

After saying this, Zhang Su looked towards the guesthouse area, as recruiting for the Yama Corps would definitely involve living on Celestial Horse Island.

Yuwen proposed, "Currently, our combat personnel are split into two tiers. In the future, we can develop into three tiers: the Yama Corps as the elite of the elite, the Elite Corps as the backbone, and the Reserve Team as the first stop for ordinary survivors to take up arms."

"Today’s performance by the Reserve Team surprised me a bit. Those ladies must have been training seriously, considering their growth speed..."

The two sat in the car, and because it was parked next to the Fire-breathing Zombie’s van, it didn’t feel too cold. Once they got talking about camp developments, they lost track of time. It wasn’t until they stepped out of the car did they realize it was already past nine o’clock, having spent over an hour discussing.

When they entered the car for the meeting, the camp was bustling. By the time they got out, it was quiet, with only a few people moving around.

In any safe camp, without the internet, the daily schedule is pretty similar, especially after today’s battle with zombies. Many were exhausted; the initial excitement couldn’t hold up, fatigue quickly took over, and many had already curled up in bed, falling into dreams.

"Brother Su, Dr. Fu came by twice earlier. Seeing that you were in a meeting, he asked me to pass on a message that he wants to apply to study the Fire-breathing Zombie."

Qi Xiaoshuai, on duty next to the van, a job made quite comfortable by the heat from the Fire-breathing Zombie, noticed Zhang Su and Yuwen stepping out of the car and approached to report.

Zhang Su rubbed his head helplessly, "The risk factor of the Fire-breathing Zombie is too high. Make sure you set up rotational duties without mistakes. Ideally, you should put up some ’Keep Away’ signs to avoid burns. Regardless of who it is, even Dr. Fu is not allowed to approach!"

"Oh, understood!"

Qi Xiaoshuai answered with full seriousness, aware this wasn’t a joke.

"We’ll find a way to settle the Fire-breathing Zombie quickly. Until then, everyone will have to pull through with the shifts."

Zhang Su patted Qi Xiaoshuai on the shoulder.

"No problem, we’ve got to look after this big treasure, Brother Su. I’ve got a suggestion; since it’s so cool and warm, if we put it near the pigsty and greenhouse, won’t the pigs and plants grow faster?"

Qi Xiaoshuai tentatively touched the cargo box; the metal was scorching, making it impossible to set his hand on it.

"Heat is energy, and purely using it as a weapon is overkill. There’s so much potential for development. We’ll research it gradually as soon as time allows. Here, take this, I’m heading out."

With that, Zhang Su pulled out a half-full pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Qi Xiaoshuai before heading with Yuwen towards the guesthouse area.

In one day, he experienced so much. He felt he should be exhausted but having used a tube of Backup Energy Slot during the ten fights in the afternoon, he still had 89% remaining and was feeling extremely energetic.

This created a conflict; he hadn’t slept much the previous night, and the morning was spent under tension. Subconsciously, he felt tired and exhausted, but strangely, he wasn’t sleepy, which was a bit troubling.

After bidding farewell to Yuwen, Zhang Su stood by the door and listened to the sounds inside. Zheng Xinyu, who was scheduled for late-night surveillance duty, was already asleep like a kitten. He turned to wander the camp, instructing the Night Patrol to be extra cautious, and listened for noises while smoking outside the guesthouses of other families.

He realized he was overly concerned; all the people had practically fallen asleep. Although there were many people on Celestial Horse Island, it was surprisingly peaceful and harmonious.

Back in his room, it wasn’t pitch black; Zheng Xinyu had left a light on for him. Sneaking under the covers quietly, he turned off the light and replayed the day’s events in his mind until he slowly drifted to sleep around one o’clock.

That night, Zhang Su wasn’t the only one with insomnia, but those others weren’t on Celestial Horse Island!
