Zhou Qiang leaned against the cabin, smoking a cigarette.

This time, 27 ultra-fast metal engraving machines will be received, so that Mammoth Heavy Industry's processing capacity has reached 78 units.

The minimum processing requirements are met.

There will be more ultra-fast metal engraving machines in the future, and Zhou Qiang’s goal is to stop the acquisition task after 100 units.

"After delivering the food, there were a few parasitic crab zombies, which were also strangled."

The hermit crab requires 3 more pieces to unlock.

"Unlock the parasitic crab zombie today."

The parasitic crab zombies are the best at dealing with survivors.

But it works against zombies.

It's a bit off.

The liquid it sprayed out had a strong corrosive effect, which was terrible.

Zombies don’t feel pain. No matter how much you corrode them, they will still fight with you as if nothing happened.

On the other hand, it is different for the survivors. As long as they are splashed a little, this kind of corrosion will bring infection.

Who isn't afraid?

When they saw the parasitic crab zombies, they ran away faster than anything else.

Thinking.

A huge convoy appeared outside the village.

Zhou Qiang narrowed his eyes slightly, holding a cigarette with no expression on his face.

The ten Mammoth bodyguards behind him stood straight in a row behind Zhou Qiang.

Majestic.

Very deterrent.

The convoy arrived soon.

A mature woman was the first to get out of a small car.

This person is Zhao Ying.

She is more beautiful and charming than the three-dimensional image in the chat box.

The moment she saw Zhou Qiang, she trotted over and said, "Boss."

This was the first time she actually met Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "Are you here?"

"Not bad, you are more mature and charming than when we were chatting."

Zhao Ying didn't dare to flirt with anyone. She was afraid of other people, but she didn't dare to do that to Zhou Qiang for fear of giving him a bad impression.

She said shyly, "Thank you for the compliment, boss."

Everyone in the convoy got off the car at this moment.

Soon this place became the world of men, each of them exuding a tough aura.

They are armed to the teeth.

It shows that they came to get the food with caution.

Zhou Qiang knew that this was human nature.

The first is to prevent yourself from doing anything weird, and the second is to protect the food after getting it.

"Hello, boss!"

"I'm Jiang Dayu."

Among this group of people, a man in his forties seemed to be the leader.

Boss is the nickname given to Zhou Qiang by everyone in the settlement.

On the contrary, not many people care about or know Zhou Qiang’s real name.

Zhou Qiang nodded and said, "Have you brought all the goods?"

The man nodded.

"Help me carry the rice and water down, and then move the machine into the cabin."

Zhou Qiang didn't hesitate and directed them to do things.

The man and his friends had no objection, but when they saw the three transport drones, they all had a hint of surprise on their faces.

There is only one in the settlement, but Zhou Qiang has three.

You can't just get a transport drone. You need to crack the program inside it, otherwise it will be scrap metal.

In the last days, talented people are dwindling away.

It is not easy to find someone who can crack it. It is extremely difficult.

Zhou Qiang has three of them, and the meaning behind them is completely different.

Everyone felt their breathing quicken.

They could clearly smell the rice fragrance emanating from the bags of rice on one of the transport drones.

When all the rice and water were unloaded, they piled up like a small mountain.

Everyone's eyes are red.

Many people clenched their fists nervously.

The same is true for Jiang Dayu.

All they had eyes for were the mountains of rice and the barrels of water on the ground.

Many people even swallowed their saliva.

It was as if the rice had turned into bowls of snow-white rice.

But he was more rational and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Lift the machine into the transport plane."

Everyone just reacted from this insane state.

Then there was another round of hustle and bustle as these super-fast metal engraving machines were loaded onto the transport plane.

Jiang Dayu looked apologetic and said, "Boss, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"The main reason is that we haven't had a bowl of rice for a long time."

"Don't worry, we'll dig up all the wild vegetables around the settlement."

"Some edible tree barks and grass roots will be dug out."

"The infection in the apocalypse is too severe, there's not much to eat."

Zhou Qiang smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "How could that be? It's human nature."

“The most terrible thing in this world is actually being hungry.”

Jiang Dayu nodded vigorously.

He understands this deeply.

Time and again, he would sit in the dark, with his eyes wide open, enduring the torture brought by hunger.

In order to survive, he took a few people who were unwilling to wait for death, found a few kitchen knives and rushed out of the settlement.

Until he finally became a transcendent.

Knowing that this feeling was unpleasant, he tried his best not to go hungry.

This time he brought three super-fast metal engraving machines, which he and his brothers had fought desperately to get from a processing factory. In this battle, four brothers died in the processing factory.

It can be said that every ultra-fast metal engraving machine is purchased at the cost of life.

Soon, the super fast metal engraving machine was installed.

"Zhao Ying, let them get rice and water according to the numbers you calculated."

Zhou Qiang said.

Zhao Ying nodded and said, "I'll read out the name on the list. Whoever's name I read out, come and get it."

Everyone present had no objection to this.

They are anxious, but not in a hurry right now.

Zhao Ying shouted loudly: "Li Weida, a super-fast metal engraving machine, 100 kilograms of rice, and 60 liters of water."

A big man in the crowd walked out with excitement on his face.

He excitedly carried a bag of rice and asked others to help carry three buckets of water.

When they saw that it was really sent out, everyone became excited and just hoped that their names would be called as soon as possible.

Zhao Ying is very fast.

None of the people whose names were called out hurriedly left with their rice and water.

Jiang Dayu did not wait foolishly with the others.

He asked his men to wait, while he stood beside Zhou Qiang, nodding and chatting with him.

"Boss, what do you think of me?"

"I also want to follow you to have a meal."

It was so hard to meet the boss in person, how could Jiang Dayu give up such a good opportunity?

Faced with this mysterious boss, too many people in the settlement want to find out Zhou Qiang's identity.

But no one understands the mysterious Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang looked at Jiang Dayu and said, "No problem."

"I have set up a camp in the industrial park south of Tianwei City, and Ark is now the person in charge."

Jiang Dayu didn't expect Zhou Qiang to agree so readily.

He was completely confused.

It took him a while to react.

His face flushed and he said excitedly, "Really?"

"I'd joke?"

Zhou Qiang smiled.

The construction of the camp requires more and more people.

The quality of personnel is not an issue.

Just manage it well.

loyalty?

Loyalty actually means that you don’t have enough bargaining chips.

There is too little absolute loyalty in this world. When the chips are enough, loyalty can be replaced.

Zhou Qiang was able to ensure that he had unparalleled leverage.

As long as people follow me, loyalty will not be a problem.

"I dare not, I dare not."

"Boss, how can you be joking when you say that?"

Jiang Dayu's attitude became even more humble.

Zhou Qiang said: "There are conditions for joining us. If you and your people survive this wave of zombies, you can go directly to the camp to find the Ark."

The zombie tide is coming, and we need stronger defense.

Jiang Dayu is only a first-level transcendent compared to them, but he is also a force to be reckoned with.

Stop the tide of zombies to prevent more people from dying.

"no problem."

Jiang Dayu agreed without hesitation.

In his mind, this was the boss's assessment of them.

The survivors who came here are not stupid.

After finally meeting the boss, everyone came over to get close to him after receiving the supplies.

Some people want to follow Zhou Qiang.

Some people just want to make personal connections.

Zhou Qiang asked Zhao Ying to add them all to a backup group for easy contact.

After the rice is distributed, the next step is to distribute self-heating rice and small bottles of water.

In less than half an hour, the place became deserted again.

Even Zhou Qiang's employees, such as Zhao Ying, excitedly took their wages and drove away to the settlement.

…………

"Brother Tiger, why don't you just do it?"

Behind a forest.

A bald strong man with sharp eyes kept staring at the situation in the field.

A younger brother next to him couldn't help it.

Zhu Hu sneered, glared at his younger brother, and said, "Can you grow some brains?"

"There are nearly a hundred people here, all of them are here to get food and water."

"If we take their food, they will definitely resist."

"We have as many people as they do, but if a fight breaks out, how many of our brothers will die here?"

"So, let them go."

"We just need to capture this so-called group leader. He can easily produce so much rice and water. Tell me, if we kidnap him, how much rice and water can we make him spit out?"

The eyes of the people around him all lit up.

"Yes, if anyone dares to touch their food, they will fight for their lives. But this group leader is different. He has fewer people and more money. Fighting with these poor guys will not make you rich."

"Boss, you are so wise. Why didn't I think of that?"

"Take down this group leader, and all the brothers will have a good time."

"He is quite courageous. He dares to show up here with only ten men."

"Isn't that just right? It gives us a chance."

Zhu Hu stared at the distance. He waved his hand and said, "Listen to me, everyone. Concentrate your firepower to destroy his drone and prevent him from escaping."

"Once the drone is gone, he will have nowhere to escape."

"Yes, boss!"

Almost everyone in the team has a gun.

After becoming extraordinary beings, their abilities are greatly enhanced.

Surviving in the apocalypse made them sharpshooters.

After receiving Zhu Hu's instructions, the ones with the best marksmanship all raised their guns.

There are too many materials in the apocalypse for them to transform.

Things like high-power scopes and so on are not a problem.

Even the guns in their hands were actually made by people in the settlement who understand the principles behind them.

Its precision and durability are no less than those of military products.

Many parts that need to be processed can be processed by machines.

The parts designed by the strong man are completely carved out one by one by metal engraving machines and then assembled, with a precision even better than military products.

The firepower, range, and accuracy of the guns are all abnormal.

Moreover, by spending some food, you can install a silencer, which allows you to shoot freely in the city without worrying about causing a large-scale reaction from zombies.

"Get ready."

Zhu Hu shouted in a low voice, "Once the guns are fired, charge at me and surround him as quickly as possible."

Everyone nodded.

Zhu Hu stared at Zhou Qiang again, calculating the distance between these people who were leaving.

Seeing Zhou Qiang about to walk towards the pod, he knew it was time.

“Shoot! Shoot!”

Almost at the same time, several sharpshooters opened fire.

The bullet hit the drone's fuselage the instant it left the gun.

The powerful penetrating power blew up the drone's flight platform, a burst of fire broke out, and parts were flying everywhere.

Even the battery pack was hit, causing an explosion.

Three drones were destroyed instantly.

"Go, go, all of you, come at me."

Zhu Hu grinned and rushed out, leading the way towards Zhou Qiang's location.

The sharpshooters remained on guard at a distance and did not rush forward.

But the other dozens of people were different. They were charging into the wilderness, each holding a weapon and carrying a shield.

Wait until they get closer.

Zhou Qiang’s shadow had long been lost.

Only ten extremely tall bodyguards in armor remained there to protect the pod.

"Boss, he hid in the largest pod of the drone."

The sharpshooter who had been keeping an eye on Zhou Qiang reported to Zhu Hu.

Zhu Hu smiled.

Is it safe to hide in the pod?

Dozens of people surrounded the place.

What surprised Zhu Hu was these ten tall bodyguards. They seemed unmoved by their arrival and still stood in a row in front of the pod, straight. His eyes could not be seen through the black glass cover, but judging from their indifferent looks, they must be revealing a cold light?

"act recklessly."

Zhu Hu sneered, is it useful to pretend to be cool?

However, he didn't pay attention to these people. He looked at the pod where Zhou Qiang was hiding and laughed: "Big group leader, you can't escape. There's no point in hiding. If I were you, I'd better come out and have a good talk."

"Don't worry, we're just hungry and just want to get something to eat."

"Not much. We only need a hundred tons."

"I'll only give you five minutes to think about it."

"When the time comes, you should know what the outcome will be."

After shouting, Zhu Hu did not press further.

Because he wanted to give Zhou Qiang a little time to think about it, such as notifying his people to bring food over?

Zhu Hu thought he had a sure win and had a smile on his face.

Even the people here all had crazy greedy smiles on their faces. They were already imagining how to squander so much food? For example, how to keep a few pretty girls and work day and night?

But they didn't see that there were flashes of light in the pod.

During the day, these lights become dim and almost invisible.
