Stop [Frenzy] and [Agility].

Zhou Qiang felt a trace of fatigue rising in his heart. Although it was not strong, it made Zhou Qiang realize how much energy it would consume to activate both of these two awakening skills.

At this speed, Zhou Qiang can only last half an hour at most with these two skills activated.

Half an hour later, Zhou Qiang was so exhausted and tired that he could hardly move.

Experience your own power.

Zhou Qiang was still very happy.

A blacksmith must be strong himself.

No matter how strong the zombies under his command are, Zhou Qiang will never feel more secure than becoming stronger himself.

In everything, Zhou Qiang can let his zombie minions charge into battle and work for him.

But what if there is no other choice?

"Create ten hellhounds."

Zhou Qiang issued an order.

Light particles appeared, and a moment later, ten hellhounds appeared in front of Zhou Qiang.

These ten hellhounds have different shapes.

One of them even became smaller, and its body was almost entirely made of bones, with not much flesh left.

The reason why it can move is that there are a large number of tendons attached to its bones.

Their biggest characteristic is their hideousness and terror.

Looking into its eyes will make you feel like you are being stared at by a monster, and your whole body will be chilled.

Zhou Qiang was well aware of the power of the hellhound.

You get what you pay for.

The manufacturing cost is one million, and it is a second-level mutated zombie. Of course, it is stronger than the velociraptors and mammoths.

"Go ahead and look for the parasite crabs and sickle corpses."

Gave them instructions.

Ten hellhounds rushed out of the room and quickly disappeared into the hotel.

The mission Zhou Qiang gave them was to scout and search for zombies that needed to be touched.

There are three types of zombies that can be created in the second level, and only the hellhound has been unlocked so far.

afternoon.

Zhou Qiang received a call from Lu Yongke.

The second batch of 23 metal engraving machines has been inspected and confirmed to be faulty and ready for trading.

However, when Zhou Qiang opened the welfare group, he found that it was quite lively.

There was a quarrel inside.

There are quite a lot of people participating.

"Chen Laowu, you are such a piece of shit, how dare you cheat on your fellow thieves?"

"Bah, what do you mean by thieves robbing thieves, Zhu Jun? It was clearly me who led the men to dismantle the machine."

"What a joke! We were clearing out the zombies, and you took advantage of our lack of manpower to bypass us and dismantle the machine. Isn't this called thieves robbing thieves? I'm telling you, this matter is not over yet. I advise you to return the machine, otherwise you'll have to watch out for your head."

"Hey, I'm afraid of you."

"Chen Laowu, wait for me."

It was clear that there was friction among the team because of the metal engraving machine.

One machine means 100 kilograms of rice and 60 liters of water. Who wouldn’t be crazy?

Now many people in the settlement have red eyes, and they all rush out to fight the zombies for their lives, just to get a machine back.

However, the number of machines near the settlement is limited.

Naturally, there will be conflicts.

However, their quarrel did not last long and was covered by other conversations.

"Today, the Ark team ate dry rice. It was snow-white. It was so luxurious."

"The group leader is really awesome. These unwanted scrap metals can be exchanged for so much food."

"Did you notice something? The group leader asked before that the machine was used to process curbstones, and then there was this storm of metal engraving machines. Do you think the group leader would really use this machine to process curbstones?"

"Are you kidding me, upstairs? It's the end of the world. Are you going to process the curbstones and use them to pave the way for the zombies to see?"

"My guess is that the group leader deliberately said that they were processing curbstones to confuse us. In secret, they might be using a metal engraving machine to process the mecha parts."

Many speculations emerged in the group.

For those of them who are bored, social networking may be their only entertainment.

Besides, it’s better to be more active in the group.

Maybe the group owner will suddenly send out red envelopes, and they will have the chance to grab them first.

Zhou Qiang just smiled at their conversation.

No words.

After quietly flipping through the contents and finding nothing useful to him, Zhou Qiang closed the welfare group.

Calling up the chat function, Zhou Qiang dealt with those who added him as friends one by one.

Then classify different people into different groups.

…………

West City settlement.

This place is built on the mountain, and the lower class people live in the valley.

The privileged class lives halfway up the mountain or on the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain at this moment.

In the early years, a big boss invested here and built a mountaintop villa area.

Not many, only twenty-seven.

There was originally a rock spring here, which flowed through the cliff and formed a long and thin waterfall.

But now the waterfall has been controlled.

Today it has become the power center of the entire settlement.

Anyone who can own a house here is a big shot in the settlement. If they stomp their feet, the settlement will shake.

The most central one.

Dozens of beautiful maids in revealing clothes stood quietly on both sides of the yard.

They dared not even breathe.

In the middle is a round table.

A total of five people sat at the round table, enjoying fine wine and delicious food.

The leader was a man with a bald head.

He is of average build, neither tall nor short, and looks to be in his forties.

He is Ding Zhaohui, the most powerful extraordinary person in the West City Settlement, and he controls the most powerful force in the settlement.

More than 70% of the extraordinary people are his subordinates.

More importantly, he also controls the purifier.

Every person in the settlement is allocated a certain amount of water.

Ding Chaohui is like a god in this settlement, and everyone lives in the shadow of his rule.

He ate a piece of canned beef, then took a sip of red wine.

Canned beef is definitely a luxury in the settlement and in the end times.

The four people below are three men and one woman.

Ding Zhaohui raised his hand, put it to his mouth and made a smoking gesture.

Immediately, two beautiful women in revealing clothes came over and put a cigarette between Ding Zhaohui's fingers.

When Ding Chaohui put it in his mouth, another woman lit it.

He took a puff and blew out smoke rings.

"I heard that there's a group leader who's been making trouble recently?"

There is no way he didn't know about such a hot topic.

But at the beginning, he treated it as a joke, and even the people working below him treated it as a trivial matter.

But after several transactions, more than fifty metal engraving machines were sold.

This is no longer a trivial matter.

According to the price of the metal engraving machine, this is 5,000 kilograms of rice and 3,000 liters of pure water.

In the end times, food and water are extremely scarce.

Even Ding Chaohui couldn't just take it out.

The purifier is huge, but purifying clean water requires a very complicated process, and the output has always been low.

All quotas need to be strictly controlled.

But now, someone was so generous in spending money for these broken machines, how could he not notice it?

If you want the machines, you can just hire a group of fearless people to clean up the zombies and then move the machines back.

But the other party didn't do that, instead he used the method of task delegation.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal.

Ding Chaohui would never tolerate anything that might threaten his rule.

"Leader, I've heard about it too. It's said to be a young man named Zhou Qiang. I don't know where he came from, but he set up a group, pulled a lot of people in, and even offered red envelope benefits, giving out dozens of self-heating rice and water at any time."

Said a thin-faced man among the three men.

He also has hundreds of extraordinary people under his command, and he is Zheng Kun, the fourth most important person in the settlement.

People call him Mad Dog.

The control of the settlement is handled by him.

Ding Zhaohui nodded and clapped his hands.

A woman wearing a translucent white veil came out.

She is really beautiful.

"Brother Hui!"

The other person's voice was so sweet that it made one's bones soften.

Ding Zhaohui reached out his hand, stroked her hips, and smiled faintly: "Baby, I need you to help me with something."
