Zhang Mu also looked at Wang Liang in surprise, "You don't have to go out to open up new territory? Why are you competing with ordinary people for business? The amount of supplies you can get by clearing out an area may be less, but the variety is definitely richer."

"That's true, but it's exhausting work, and it's almost the same as gathering information. I'm afraid that the evolvers under me have big ideas and their income is even lower than that of ordinary people."

Wang Liang smiled bitterly, and he led the team to search for supplies separately. Although they now had Zhang Mu's funding, they basically had shields in hand, and even if there were nearly a thousand zombies, as long as they were positioned well, they could slowly consume them and deal with them. But the problem was that the price Zhang Mu offered was too generous, and it was inevitable that the evolvers under his command would have some thoughts in their minds.

Zhang Mu thought about it and said apologetically, "I was not thoughtful enough. If ordinary people get too much reward, one, the evolvers will have some ideas, which will be disadvantageous to your command. Another thing is that I feel that safety may not be guaranteed."

He thought about it carefully and said to Wang Liang, "Then give the person with accurate information 200 kilograms of food and 50 kilograms of drinking water, and subsidize the rest with two days' basic rations. This will also make it easier for you to work."

Wang Liang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Mu's changed standard. Otherwise, he was really afraid that everyone would run out to inquire about the news for him under the huge price. Now the price was still within the acceptable range of the Evolvers. After all, the value of searching for good materials was much more expensive than food, such as meat and vacuum-preserved vegetables. The wealthier Evolvers in the gathering place would still use large amounts of food to purchase them.

"But you have to pay for it first. I have exchanged all the food on hand and I don't have much left." Zhang Mu's indifferent voice made Wang Liang frown. It turned out that Zhang Mu had no food on hand, but he was still offering such a high reward. Isn't this cheating him? It's okay for this one person now. If there are more people, the food reserves he has collected from outside will probably be gone.

Zhang Mu seemed to see what Wang Liang was thinking, and then he added, "All the food I borrowed from you will be returned to you double in seven days. Does it still hurt?"

"Twice the food? For only seven days?"

Hearing Zhang Mu's additional words, Wang Liang's originally bitter face disappeared instantly. Fearing that Zhang Mu would go back on his word, he hurriedly walked out of the house, "Okay, Brother Mu, I'll go and settle their wages right away."

Zhang Mu spread his hands helplessly, looked around Wang Liang's room, and found the notebook on his desk.

The book was spread out, recording all the expenses and income of the gathering place.

"Oh my god, this kid is still pretending to be poor. He has already gained a lot today. Tsk, tsk, tsk, with these supplies, I can open a grocery store. Hey, I sold it at double the profit. You know, the Epoch Store will open in seven days. At that time, things like food will only be a fraction of the original price once the price drops."

......Suddenly, a van drove into the open space of the gathering place with a very loud roar. The people working on the fortifications nearby turned their heads, because the search team had already returned from outside once.

Is he going out again? But it doesn't seem like that, the pickup truck is loaded with bags of rice?

Just when everyone was puzzled, a sound wave evolver got out of the car with an envious look and shouted at the top of his voice, "Who is Jiang Wei? Boss Zhang Mu and Boss Wang have paid you, come here quickly."

There was an uproar in the crowd. They were actually paying out rewards. Looking at the amount on the car, it was quite a lot.

After dozens of seconds, a young man with a dusty face and a towel on his shoulders, who looked like he had just crawled out of a mud pile, ran over like the wind, pushed through the crowd and approached the van.

"I'm here, I'm Jiang Wei, do you really have food?"

The sonic evolver who was in charge of shouting looked at him with some disdain and jealousy, wondering why this good thing didn't happen to him. He snorted heavily and said, "Otherwise? Do you think I'm kidding you now?"

"I dare not, but how much food is there?" Jiang Wei thought that even if it was less than 100 kilograms of food, the amount that was withheld should not be much.

The evolver who was driving the car seemed to see the suspicion in his eyes and immediately shouted, "What? Do you think I can covet your little food? Will I be short of it?"

As soon as he lost control of his voice, it instantly became louder. More and more people gathered around the van. Jiang Wei waved his hands and said, "I didn't mean that. I was just asking."

"I'm telling you clearly, there are 200 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of drinking water here, not a kilogram less, don't worry, no one dares to take more."

This time, not only Jiang Wei, but also the people gathered around had twinkling eyes.

"Not only has the money not decreased, but it has doubled. This Boss Zhang is really generous. This is several months' salary of mine, and he puts it in the compartment of this van."

"That's right. Maybe he doesn't need this little bit of food. I heard that he moved a few granaries."

"What nonsense! I heard that Mr. Zhang's family runs a grain store."

"Oh my god, so unsophisticated."

The people below were talking about it. If Zhang Mu heard it, he would probably laugh bitterly. He even opened a rice shop.

"Get in the car. Where do you live? Boss Wang has ordered us to send you there."

The Evolver who was driving patted Jiang Wei's shoulder, who was still in a daze, and said, "Why are you still standing there? Get in the passenger seat and let's go. I have something else to do later."

"Okay, okay, I'll get in the car. I'll get in the car."

The man named Jiang Wei started to speak incoherently. He got on the passenger seat tremblingly and pointed the way to the person next to him.

It's not that he is a loser, he is just afraid of being hungry. In the first three days, he almost starved to death. He doesn't want to experience that feeling of being tortured by hunger again.

After arriving at the gathering place, he had no awakening ability, and even his strength and agility were not enhanced much. He was just an ordinary person, relying on hard work every day to earn enough food to barely fill his stomach. No wonder he lost his composure when he heard about the two hundred kilograms of food. At first, he thought his information might not be accurate, because he only took a quick look and ran away. The atmosphere was really too scary, so when he heard that he might be kicked out of the gathering place if he reported false information, he was very nervous for a long time.

Now, as if in a dream, there is really food.

After arriving at the site, Jiang Wei lived in a one-bedroom bungalow converted from a warehouse.

After getting off the car, he and the evolvers around him began to unload the goods. After they finished moving, the people who had been watching in the open space also followed over. Looking at the twenty bags of rice and fifty barrels of water neatly placed in front of Jiang Wei's house, they all became jealous.

"What's so good about this? Boss Wang said that if you can provide Boss Zhang with accurate intelligence, he will give you at least 100 kilograms of food. In a good situation, it is possible that the amount given will be the same as this person's or even more."

Someone in the crowd swallowed and asked tentatively, "Really?"

"Well, if I didn't have a mission to complete, I would have gone there myself. Damn it." The evolvers started swearing.

"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? If you had the time to go find out the news, the food would have been in your hands long ago."

At this moment, the crowd seemed to have just woken up from a dream and dispersed.
