The next day.
After Zhou Qiang enjoyed a breakfast, he was transported to the end of the world.
After another night of hunting by the Mammoths and Swiftmen, there were basically no zombie corpses left in the industrial park.
Zhou Qiang raised his head and looked at the rising sun.
Walk to the car.
"Mammoth No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 get on the bus."
Of the five mammoth bodyguards, Zhou Qiang only chose three.
The remaining two stay here.
Putting on the armor, he was just over two meters tall, and three mammoth bodyguards squeezed into this car, which was just right.
It's not that Zhou Qiang doesn't want to take him with him, but that he can't take him with him anymore.
This is power on the surface.
The power in the dark and the claws of demons will also lurk outside the settlement.
After the Mammoth bodyguards were seated, Zhou Qiang drove out of the industrial park and headed towards the previously discovered settlement of human survivors.
Without the participation of these survivors, many things cannot be done by the zombie boys alone.
Zombies can be hunted, but not built.
Only when the money is used will you realize how little it is.
The production price of a first-level mutant zombie is 100,000, and the price of a second-level mutant zombie is one million.
Money is really hard to spend.
To create hundreds of second-level mutated zombies, it would take hundreds of millions.
Relying on gold jewelry is a drop in the bucket.
Zhou Qiang, who has known the place for a long time, can naturally drive the car very fast with his navigation.
Seventy kilometers is really nothing in this post-apocalyptic world where there are no vehicles on the road.
Encountered some roads that were blocked.
This is difficult for Zhou Qiang.
Let the Mammoth bodyguards get out of the car without them lifting it. Use the storage space to put the car away, go around it and then release it.
Then continue on your way.
An hour and a half later, Zhou Qiang drove to the outside of the human survivor colony.
There are sentries from far away.
They didn't pay much attention to a car that appeared.
As long as it's not a zombie, they generally ignore it.
There were tens of thousands of people living in the settlement, and it was impossible for them to recognize them all.
The settlement I saw in the drone before was not too big.
But now that he was getting closer, Zhou Qiang realized that this settlement was really too big.
A settlement of more than 100,000 people is about the same size as a county town.
As he got closer, Zhou Qiang became nervous.
Following this road, we soon arrived at the entrance of the settlement.
The entrance to the settlement is not big, and is similar to an ordinary gate.
The difference is that the door here is a huge thick iron door.
Countless claw marks can be seen on the iron door, which look like they were left by zombies.
There are also a large number of claw marks on the walls of the enclosure.
In some places, there were fragments.
There was still a lot of dirt on the wall. Zhou Qiang, who was already very familiar with the apocalypse, could see that it was left behind by the blood of zombies.
Details that cannot be captured by drones can now be seen clearly.
Zhou Qiang's eyes shrank.
It seems that the settlement here is not very peaceful.
The tall wall can explain everything.
Zhou Qiang calmed down and drove towards the entrance.
There were more than a dozen armed men standing here, chatting.
Seeing Zhou Qiang's car approaching, one of the younger armed survivors waved.
Zhou Qiang stopped the car next to him.
"Brother, how was the harvest?"
He patted the car window and laughed when he saw Zhou Qiang's youth.
Zhou Qiang lowered the car window, took out a cigarette that the zombie boy had brought back from the supermarket, and threw it into his hand.
"Just grab it and smoke it."
The other party became happy and took it, his eyes lit up: "What a good thing."
When going to the supermarket, most people go for the water.
Taking such a big risk, few people would come back with cigarettes.
Zhou Qiang pretended to be calm, waved his hand, and drove quickly through the gate.
Behind the gate is a large area.
Various vehicles are parked here.
There are many people here, repairing damaged vehicles.
Zhou Qiang stopped the car.
I didn't rush to get off the car, but observed here.
After comparison, Zhou Qiang found that the number of vehicles here was much less than what had been captured by drones before.
"It should be the survivors who are out looking for supplies?"
"Maybe it's to hunt zombies?"
If the genetic fluid they extracted from zombies is the key to human evolution, it is inevitable to hunt zombies to make them stronger.
Zhou Qiang knew why the interest could be entered and exited smoothly.
Because the settlement here does not restrict the survivors' free entry and exit.
Guns and weapons are also free and open.
In the apocalypse, the greater your courage, the greater your gains.
In the face of starvation and becoming stronger, everyone is willing to take risks.
The parking lot is huge.
It was densely packed with cars of all colors.
There is more than one entrance and exit in the settlement, and behind each entrance is a huge parking lot.
Outside the parking lot, Zhou Qiang saw a large number of survivors surrounding the barbed wire fence.
They were skinny and their clothes were old.
Some are even tattered.
All they could see on their faces was numbness.
The eyes were empty and colorless.
These people all stared pitifully at the parking lot, with a hint of hope and longing in their eyes.
In despair, this is their most common expression.
The food in the settlement is only a small bowl of porridge for each person every day, which is so thin that you can't stand up with chopsticks.
If you want more, you need to figure it out yourself.
This is the end of the world.
There are zombies outside. It doesn’t mean that if you dare to go out, you will definitely find something to eat.
As soon as they came over, Zhou Qiang could see that all the food available around the settlement had been wiped out.
From the roots of grass to the rhizomes of some plants.
If you don't even eat these, you can imagine how desperate you will be.
"I'm going to recruit ten decoys."
At this time, a person from one team walked out and shouted to the people outside the barbed wire fence.
Suddenly, all these numb people were boiling.
One by one, they raised their hands and shouted at the top of their lungs, hoping to be chosen.
"You, and you, you, you, you..."
This person named ten stronger ones.
Those who were selected had ecstatic expressions on their faces, while those who were not selected had ashen faces.
Under the leadership of this man, these ten people came to the convoy.
Next they received a few steamed buns and a portion of clean water.
It was such a simple food, but they devoured it as if it was a supreme delicacy.
Wait until they have had enough to eat and drink.
They were all driven into the back of a pickup truck.
When you hear the word "bait", you will know that it is not a good word.
These people sat on the back of the truck, their faces once again showing despair and numbness.
Become a bait and escape death.
If you are lucky, you may be able to survive for a while without being hungry.
The convoy left quickly.
Zhou Qiang is not in a hurry to recruit people. On this trip, Zhou Qiang still needs to learn about genetic evolution.
Get out of the car.
Three mammoth bodyguards wearing battle armor followed.
Their size, the armor they wear.
From the moment he got off the car, he attracted everyone's attention.
It's really because this armor is so cool, and also because of the size of the Mammoth Bodyguard wearing the armor, with a height of just over two meters, he stands out from the crowd here, and it's hard not to be noticed.
This is still a full-size SUV, otherwise it really wouldn’t be able to fit these three items.
Zhou Qiang strode out of the parking lot with the Mammoth bodyguards.
The parking lot is protected by iron wires, and there are all kinds of tents, wooden houses, and tin houses that can't be seen outside. A few enterprising people obtained some building materials and built ugly little houses.
I don't know how far these are connected, covering the mountains and valleys.
Not having enough to eat, in these last days, they almost waited for death in despair.
If everyone is waiting to die, who has the heart to mess around with their accommodation?
Zhou Qiang glanced at the people gathered around the barbed wire fence. Their biggest feature was that their lips were so dry that they cracked.
The reason for this is long-term water shortage.
All rivers in the last days will be polluted, even the groundwater.
Drinkable water needs to be purified.
With these limitations, water resources are the most precious commodity in the apocalypse.
"come here!"
At the entrance of the parking lot, Zhou Qiang pointed at a man with disheveled hair and a dirty face.
If her clothes weren't for women, Zhou Qiang wouldn't be able to tell whether she was a boy or a girl.
The clothes she was wearing were old and a little loose.
At first glance, he looks like a beggar.
The man was stunned for a moment, but still came over with fear and uneasiness.
Zhou Qiang was well-dressed, his face was red, and he was accompanied by three subordinates who looked like iron towers. At a glance, he knew that he was a big shot in the upper class.
His words are no different from the imperial edict here.
No one around here came close to Zhou Qiang, and everyone looked at Zhou Qiang in fear.
The power structure of the settlement is like that of the emperor in ancient times.
Their lives are no more noble than ants.
The big shots at the top kill them like chickens.
No one dares to offend such a big shot.
The other party stood in front of Zhou Qiang uneasily.
"These eyes are quite bright."
Zhou Qiang smiled with satisfaction.
The main reason why it is her is that her eyes are a bit big, and there is color in them that others do not have.
Zhou Qiang waved.
Mammoth No. 1 came over and handed the bag he was carrying to Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang took a piece of bread and a small bottle of mineral water from it and handed it to her.
Suddenly, Zhou Qiang could see the other party's throat moving desperately, which was a swallowing action.
And there was even more desire in her eyes.
This is bread and water, which is a rare food in the settlement.
"I need to know some information."
"Tell me, these are yours."
