What is the hottest thing in the West City settlement recently?

No need to ask.

The question is what is the super fast metal engraving machine.

When Zhou Qiang announced the mission, it first spread in a small area, and then in less than half a day, the entire settlement knew about it.

One hundred kilograms of rice and 60 liters of bottled water in exchange for one?

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a crazy price?

I don’t know how many teams started to think about this, and almost all the teams that could be mobilized were mobilized.

Especially those who were related to this super-fast metal engraving machine immediately became the objects of pursuit by various teams.

As long as you say you know about ultra-fast metal engraving machines, you will be hired immediately.

And the price is high.

For the first time, the survivors who had experience working in the processing industry felt happy.

In the past, people looked down on them and thought they had no fighting ability.

But it’s different now.

Knowledge is power.

"Have you heard? The Ark team brought back eight super-fast metal engraving machines at once."

"real?"

“They are about to make it big.”

"Eight hundred kilograms of rice, four hundred and eighty liters of water. Oh my god, I'm rich."

"They got this machine right here in Shanshui Town. It's really easy money."

"I'm so jealous."

"This order is enough for them to avoid having to go out and take risks for three months."

The spread of the settlement is still very fast.

The Ark's harvest immediately caused a sensation in the settlement.

Eight hundred kilograms of rice, just thinking about it makes you crazy.

Pollution is serious in the apocalypse, and the agricultural industry has suffered fatal damage. It doesn’t mean that you can eat food just by growing it.

There is a lot of arable land outside the settlement, but most of the food produced will be contaminated and inedible.

Only about 20% of the food can be eaten.

Food will become less and less, especially drinking water, which needs to be distributed by the upper level of the settlement, otherwise they will face the danger of dying of thirst. The water purifier that can purify polluted water is in the hands of the upper level, which is why they can control this settlement.

The example of the Ark has attracted more people to pursue it.

A large number of teams left the settlement.

Even ordinary people formed teams and set off.

What if they bring back one or two?

…………

Zhou Qiang always pays attention to the group.

Very familiar with the changes in settlements.

The group was already in an uproar.

What they were discussing was the super-fast metal engraving machine and rice.

Food and water are too precious in the end times.

Almost every day people died of thirst or starvation, and a grain of food could trigger a bloody incident.

Being in this group, they know too well the strength of the group leader.

It is a joke that the outside world is worried about not being able to pay.

"This Ark is going to be developed."

“Why am I not the lucky protagonist?”

"Eight hundred kilograms of rice, how long will it take to finish it?"

"Guess why the group owner wants these useless machines?"

"I dare not guess, for fear of being silenced."

"I think the group leader must want to process some kind of weapon?"

"Tianwei City is just a big economic city. I envy those survivors who are in the military base. They can directly get powerful weapons from the military base, which makes it much easier for them to deal with zombies."

"These military bases must have a lot of combat robots and mechas."

"With a ghost fire mecha, it shouldn't be a problem to fight a fourth-level mutant zombie alone."

"It is said that several large settlements are strong in military and military power. It is still unknown who will be in charge in the future."

"What's the point? In my opinion, the most important thing is to solve the pollution problem. Otherwise, people will starve and die every day. Sooner or later, we will die out."

"The above person thinks it's too simple. How can it be so easy?"

"I don't know if I can live to see the day when they drive out the zombies and restore human civilization."

Zhou Qiang is also interested in these topics.

For example, after capturing a military base, there will certainly be a qualitative leap in strength.

Mecha?

Battle robots?

It seems to be very consistent with the technological level of the apocalyptic world.

For example, how to solve the world’s pollution problem.

In Zhou Qiang's view, pollution is the primary issue.

Otherwise, the crops grown will be infected, and the water cannot be used if it is not purified. This is related to the survival of mankind.

"Right now, I have no way to organize people to solve these problems."

Zhou Qiang shook his head.

Take pollution for example. It requires all of humanity to come up with a solution. It cannot be solved by just a few people.

For the time being, Zhou Qiang can only put these aside.

This guy named Fang Zhou brought back eight super-fast metal engraving machines at once, which is undoubtedly exciting news.

Even Zhou Qiang himself was happy.

Zhou Qiang also looked up information and knew that this ultra-fast metal engraving machine was really a BUG-like existence. Compared with modern technology on Earth, it was far ahead. It used the same processing method as 3D printing, with up to thirty sets of engraving heads started at the same time.

No wonder no matter how complicated the carving is, it can be completed within twenty seconds.

"Old Lu, if I want to carve a kerbstone and create a lifelike relief on it, how should I proceed?"

When it comes to professional issues, Zhou Qiang will of course look for professionals.

Lu Yongke was in a shabby tent in the settlement at the time. When he saw that it was Zhou Qiang who sent him a private message, he was shocked and immediately said without thinking: "Boss, you need to confirm your engraving graphics, and secondly, the design data is modeled in the metal engraving machine."

This is just the most basic process.

It's hard to play if you're not a professional.

The parameters alone are difficult to set.

Zhou Qiang also realized this.

It's not enough to just have the machine, someone needs to set it up.

People on modern Earth certainly cannot operate this super-fast metal engraving machine, after all, there is a gap of several decades of leading technology.

"Old Lu, are you interested in following me?"

Zhou Qiang asked.

"Boss, I do."

Lu Yongke did not hesitate at all, for he was afraid that this opportunity would slip away from him.

Zhou Qiang said: "One serving of self-heating rice and one bottle of water a day."

"You don't need to take risks."

"You will be my agent in the settlement, and be responsible for helping me check whether these machines are intact and can be used."

"I'll leave this job to you. When the time comes, you will contact the person who brings the machine back."

"If you don't have enough people, you can recruit a few people to form a team."

"I am also responsible for the food and drink of the team members."

Lu Yongke was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Now he has firmly embraced a strong thigh.

Not to mention staying in the settlement, even if he was asked to go through fire and water, he wouldn't even frown.

Now he felt like he was flying into the sky.

"Boss, no problem, I'm hiring now."

Lu Yongke knew that this was his opportunity. If he seized it, he would be able to stay away from hunger and even become a superior person.

He must do this matter beautifully and properly for his boss.

Just as Zhou Qiang expected.

A man named Huang Haowei soon got in touch.

"Group leader."

Huang Haowei said these two words with respect and caution.

As soon as you hear it, you can tell that he is wary and defensive against the outside world after the trials of the last days.

"What's up?"

Zhou Qiang said.

Huang Haowei was delighted when he saw Zhou Qiang's reply: "Group leader, the boss asked me to ask you something. Does the matter you mentioned before, about the metal engraving machine, still count?"

"Of course, you should contact Lu Feike about this matter. He will check it first. If there is no problem, I will designate a place for you. I will pay for the goods immediately after they arrive."

Zhou Qiang said quickly.

Huang Haowei certainly had no objection.

After recommending Lu Yongke to him, the rest of the matters were handled by Lu Yongke.

Lu Yongke took over immediately.

It was too easy to find a few people familiar with machinery in the settlement. Lu Yongke just went to the mercenary market and shouted, and immediately a group of people gathered around him.

Lu Yongke called five people and asked some mechanical questions.

Seeing that he was able to answer the questions swiftly, I immediately decided to keep him.

Then, he took these five people to meet with Huang Haowei.

The eight ultra-fast metal engraving machines were checked several times and were indeed in good condition. After Lu Yongke confirmed that there was no problem, he immediately replied to Zhou Qiang.

"Boss, no problem, everything is intact."

“Look…”

Zhou Qiang said: "It's possible to trade. Let them get ready. I'll give you a location later."

After closing the chat window, Zhou Qiang glanced out the window.

It’s not too late.

The area below the hotel had been cleaned up before, so there weren't many zombies, just a few scattered around.

"Young men, get to work."

Zhou Qiang issued an order.

The zombies that had been lurking before were activated and came out one by one from the shops where they were hiding.

The streets, which were originally empty, were now filled with armored mammoths and ferocious-looking velociraptors.

Like a team of elite soldiers in ancient times.

Every time Zhou Qiang sees them like this, he feels a sense of pride.

This zombie power belongs to him.

"Free kill."

Zhou Qiang doesn't mind making too many points.

Zhou Qiang is about to collect ten special first-order mutated zombie fragments, and he is still looking forward to what the second special first-order mutated zombie will be like.

Under Zhou Qiang's command, this group of murderous zombies immediately took action.

If Zhou Qiang's order is not cancelled, they will continue to kill.

It's like hanging up.

After issuing the order, Zhou Qiang ignored the zombies.

"Walk!"

Zhou Qiang was the first to leave the suite, and the five Mammoth bodyguards who had been blocking the door immediately followed Zhou Qiang downstairs.

He must personally handle the transaction.

When they arrived downstairs at the hotel, Zhou Qiang waved his hand and the full-size electric SUV appeared in the storage space.

Another wave of the hand.

An electric truck appears.

With autonomous driving, it is no problem for one person to operate several cars.

Under Zhou Qiang's command, the devil's claws have rushed out of the city along this street.

The heads of the scattered zombies were crushed by it.

The car left the city smoothly.

An hour later, Zhou Qiang arrived at a village two kilometers away from the settlement.

There is not a single zombie here, and the room is empty, which meets Zhou Qiang's requirements.

"Here is the address. Ask them to bring the machine here."

Zhou Qiang sent the location to Lu Yongke.

Then Zhou Qiang took out sixteen bags of unpackaged stale rice from the storage space, and then took out twenty-four barrels of bottled water and put them on the electric truck.

The existence of the purchasing company solved the packaging problem for Zhou Qiang.

After doing all this, Zhou Qiang lit a cigarette and waited. He was not worried that the other party would play tricks.

As long as he wants.

You can use zombies to pile them up to death.
