The underground parking lot in this community is very large.

It just didn't taste very good.

It was cold and damp down there, with a strong smell of mold mixed with some other rotten smell.

Zhou Qiang frowned.

Wang Kangnian and the others are fine, they are used to the smell here.

There are several light holes below, allowing light to come in, so it is not too dark.

Energy-saving lamps are hung on the load-bearing columns, providing light here.

From a distance, Zhou Qiang could see a group of tents in the underground parking lot.

Some shadows were swaying, and it seemed to be the sound of some children playing.

Newborns are really rare in the apocalypse.

The camp is so big, and there are only a handful of kids, which is really not a lot.

Adults would starve to death, let alone children.

When they got closer, Zhou Qiang felt like it was a refugee camp.

The only difference is that there is no shortage of all kinds of kitchen utensils and furniture here, and the survivors here are dressed appropriately.

There is nothing in the refugee camp, but it is different here. There are plenty of supplies in the town outside. There may not be food, but there is no shortage of clothes and daily necessities.

There are no clothes, just shop after shop for you to choose from.

Furniture mall, electrical appliance store.

If these do not satisfy you, you can go door to door to find something suitable for you.

If you like something, find a way to move it back and it will become yours.

With solar charging, electricity is not a problem here.

"The leader is back."

I don't know who shouted, but the small camp of survivors became excited.

Many people came out of the tents and surrounded Wang Kangnian and his group.

For them, the return of their leader is good news.

Now the livelihood of the entire survivor camp depends on the leaders. If anything happens to them, it will be a disaster for this small camp.

Wang Kangnian also smiled.

"dad……"

A chubby little girl rushed towards Wang Kangnian.

Wang Kangnian held the little girl in his arms, his face full of happiness.

In the distance, a pretty woman stood in front of the largest tent, looking at Wang Kangnian and the others.

It was not until now that the little girl in Wang Kangnian's arms discovered Zhou Qiang, a stranger. She was so scared that she hid in Wang Kangnian's arms, not daring to look at Zhou Qiang.

When seeing this little girl, Zhou Qiang thought of Zhou Xianxian.

Feeling a little soft inside, he reached out from the air, took out a piece of chocolate, and then reached out.

"This is for you, cutie."

The little girl didn't know what it was and was afraid to take it.

Wang Kangnian hesitated for a moment, but still took it, peeled it, and handed it to his daughter: "Xiaoxiao, eat it, why don't you thank your uncle?"

Xiaoxiao took it and said timidly, "Thank you, uncle."

She took a small bite, then her eyes lit up and a sweet smile spread across her face.

Wang Kangnian apologized and said, "Mr. Zhou, she has never eaten chocolate. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Chocolate, sugar and other things are absolutely scarce in this apocalyptic world.

Even the stored rice, flour, etc. had gone bad and moldy and were inedible, not to mention the seasonings, which had all melted.

No one knows why the quality of food in this world changes so quickly.

Even if it is placed in a vacuum package and stored in a good place, it will still deteriorate and become inedible.

Zhou Qiang shook his head: "It's okay."

At this time, Wang Kangnian was directing the team members to take out the green lotus salvaged today and distribute it to everyone in the camp.

As the whistle sounded.

It was more like a signal for dinner, as pale and skinny men and women walked out of the tents.

The survivors of the apocalypse have one thing in common: their lips are usually chapped.

This is due to lack of water.

But what surprised Zhou Qiang was that these people were not dull-eyed. Unlike the people in other settlements who didn't know why they lived and were confused about the future, the people here were more energetic and their eyes were calm.

They lined up in an orderly manner, each bringing a bowl.

An extraordinary person placed the green lotuses on a table and distributed green lotuses to everyone who came.

Each person doesn’t have many, just two small ones.

The amount is barely enough to fill your stomach, it is impossible to get full.

Despite this, everyone here has a smile on their face.

After receiving the green lotus, they would bow and say thank you, showing great respect to every extraordinary person.

There were several children in the team. They stared at the green lotuses and licked their lips.

“You’re leading well.”

"At least they are not numbed by despair."

Zhou Qiang looked at Wang Kangnian.

It can be seen that there is no oppression here, but everyone is sharing the same suffering.

If there is food, we eat together; if there is no food, we starve together.

Wang Kangnian showed a painful look and said, "Actually, I am incompetent. There are only less than a hundred people left from thousands of people. Who knows what tomorrow will be like?"

"I just tell them that it's another day to be numb and self-destructive, and another day to be happy and joyful."

"There is no savior in this world. The only one who can save himself is himself."

"Try to live, maybe one day, everything will be over."

Zhou Qiang laughed.

He thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Meeting you is fate. Just consider it as a kind gesture on my part."

"I'll treat you all to a meal."

There are mountains of supplies in Zhou Qiang’s storage space, and he has purchased supplies worth billions.

Not to mention the hundred people in front of him, even if it was for a million people, Zhou Qiang could ensure that these one million people would not have to worry about food and drink for several months.

Treating them to a meal is a drop in the bucket for Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang discovered that in the end times, giving others food is the easiest way to make them feel grateful.

There is no better investment than this.

As for whether the other party will have evil thoughts?

Zhou Qiang was really not worried, he really didn't mind killing people.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Kangnian would have sneered at it.

Please have dinner?

Boss, you have nothing on your body, you want to treat me with this?

But Wang Kangnian, who had witnessed Zhou Qiang's mysteriousness, did not think so.

Just imagine Zhou Qiang frying steak in front of them and taking out more than a dozen buckets of instant noodles... Who knows how Zhou Qiang did it and what else he is hiding?

Zhou Qiang didn't explain at all and just passed his hand in front of him.

He took out ten buckets of water in one breath.

Then……

Ten bags of 100-kg rice appeared.

This was not the end yet, the can of beef rolled over on the ground.

It also includes some canned fruits.

"Should these be enough?"

Zhou Qiang calculated it and found that it was definitely too much.

If these people eat this food, it will last at least a month.

It doesn't matter.

How much is this little bit of supplies worth?

Wang Kangnian and the others were all staring at the supplies on the ground in amazement.

Their eyes almost popped out and they swallowed saliva in their throats.

The first one or two years before the end of the world were all right.

But in recent years, these supplies have become almost impossible to find, and some have even become completely moldy and inedible.

They didn't know how long it had been since they had seen such supplies, and it made them feel like they were in a dream.

Wang Kangnian and the others were all like this, and everyone else in the small camp was frightened.

The mountains of supplies made them subconsciously take a step back.

Then, their faces changed from fright to madness, greed appeared in their eyes, and their eyes quickly became bloodshot.

"Mr. Zhou, these... these are all for us?"

Wang Kangnian couldn't believe it.

These supplies, if placed in the Red Fortress, are enough to buy a thousand slaves.

Zhou Qiang said: "It's not for you. I took it out and put it here to look good?"

"ah……"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

Wang Kangnian was a little incoherent. He didn't care whether these supplies had traps or not.

He is already risking his life for food, so why would he care whether Zhou Qiang has set a trap for him?

"What are you standing there for? Get out your own pots, pans, and utensils."

Wang Kangnian roared.

Everyone in the small camp went crazy and rushed to their tents.

Soon, a group of people appeared with pots, pans, and utensils.

"Order. How many times have I told you to line up?"

A transcendent shouted.

Some of these crazy people still had some sense and lined up, but they stretched their necks and looked at the supplies that were about to be distributed with green eyes.

"Woo woo, I don't know how long it has been since I last had rice."

"Thank God."

"Bah, you are blind, thank you Mr. Zhou."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

The survivors in the team kept expressing their gratitude to Zhou Qiang with their hands clasped together.

Those who can survive to this day are people whose character and quality are recognized by Wang Kangnian, otherwise they would have been cleared out of the camp long ago. How could he give them food?

At this time, a man in his 50s stood in front of the supplies and said, "Each person can only have one or two meters, and you can only make porridge. It's best to eat canned fruit first. If you really want to eat canned beef, just eat a few small pieces... Your bodies have been in a state of hunger and malnutrition for a long time. If you overeat, it may cost you your life."

At this time, Wang Kangnian invited Zhou Qiang to his tent.

Hearing what this person said, he smiled and said, “Mr. Zhou, this person is the doctor of our camp.”

Zhou Qiang nodded.

In front of the tent, a woman stood somewhat uncomfortably.

"Mr. Zhou, this is my wife, Chen Huiling."

Wang Kangnian introduced.

Chen Huiling's looks are pretty good, with a score of 80. In her heyday, if she dressed up, she could get at least 85 points, which would make her a beauty.

It can be seen that Wang Kangnian is slightly older than her.

Chen Huiling smiled at Zhou Qiang and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

At this time, Wang Xiaoxiao ran over and threw herself into Chen Huiling's arms: "Mom, this chocolate is so sweet."

Suddenly, Chen Huiling felt like crying.

If it were a prosperous time, her daughter would not have suffered, but here, there was too little for her to enjoy.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Chen Huiling gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

Zhou Qiang nodded slightly, waved and said to Wang Kangnian: "Let's go over there and talk."

"Okay Mr. Zhou."

The two walked side by side to the other end of the underground parking lot and stood under the ventilation vent.

The air here is finally much fresher.

Zhou Qiang took out two beach chairs from the storage space and placed them under the vent. He then took out a small table and placed some snacks and drinks on it. He smiled and said, "Let's eat and talk at the same time."

Wang Kangnian was only slightly surprised by Zhou Qiang's action.

Although the time is short, I am used to it.

Wang Kangnian didn't hesitate to pick up one of the desserts and stuffed it into his mouth.

Swallow it in a few mouthfuls.

He opened another bottle of iced black tea and drank it in one gulp.

"call!"

"I'm not afraid to make fun of you, Mr. Zhou. I haven't had this feeling since the end of the world."

Wang Kangnian showed bitterness on his face. In the prosperous times, everyone could have snacks and drinks, but now a bottle of iced black tea could buy the life of a young man like him.

Zhou Qiang smiled.

He leaned back in his chair and asked, "Do you have a communication signal in Guangnan City?"

"Mr. Zhou, yes."

Wang Kangnian rolled up his sleeves to reveal the personal smart terminal inside. "Although we are hiding here, we can still learn a lot about the outside world through the personal smart terminal."

"But it's strange that I can only receive information from Guangnan City."

“Other cities and provinces simply cannot receive it.”

After hearing what Wang Kangnian said, Zhou Qiang was certain that communications actually existed based on city boundaries.

Zhou Qiang frowned.

Based on the properties of communications, this possibility is simply impossible. The satellite signal definitely covers more than just one city, it is possible to cover a province, or even several provinces.

But why can't cities communicate with each other?

It's like being blocked.

It seems that there are still many strange things in this end of the world.

But now even Zhou Qiang can’t figure out what’s behind all these weird things.

"How many settlements are there in Guangnan City?"

In terms of development, Guangnan City is even more prosperous than Tianwei City.

Since it is close to the coast, its geographical advantage is needless to say, and its population far exceeds that of Tianwei City.

With a population of over 60 million, the city alone has a larger population than many countries on Earth today.

Blue Planet has a population ten times that of modern Earth.

The people here are like ants, countless.

Wang Kangnian said: "As far as I know, there are two places in total."

"The one place we can be sure of is the Red Fortress, which is where we escaped from."

"The second place is a little hard to confirm."

"Just upstream of this river, almost out of the border of Guangnan City, they are very active, always sending some information on personal smart terminals, such as publishing their coordinates and absorbing survivors."

"Not only that, they also set up many large groups, pulled the survivors into the groups, cheered everyone up, and encouraged everyone to go to their settlements despite the difficulties."

"By the way, green lotus is edible. In fact, that's what they told the survivors."

"According to them, the green lotus is actually a kind of edible food they cultivated. They would put some into the river from time to time, allowing the food to flow downstream, giving the survivors along the river a glimmer of hope."

"It is because of their reminder that we took the risk to go to the river to catch this kind of green lotus."

Speaking of this, Wang Kangnian's face was filled with gratitude.

If it weren't for these green lotuses, they really wouldn't be able to hold on, and the population of the small camp would continue to decrease.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain food from the outside world.

Even drinkable water is becoming increasingly scarce.

"In this apocalypse, is there such a responsible settlement?"

Zhou Qiang was dumbfounded.

Deep down, I always felt that there was something strange about this matter.
