The underground parking lot in this community is very large.
It just doesn't taste that good.
It was cold and damp down there, with a strong musty smell mixed with other rancid smells.
Zhou Qiang frowned.
Wang Kangnian and the others were fine, they were used to the smell here.
There are several light-transmitting openings below, and the light comes in, so it is not very dark.
Energy-saving lamps are hung on the load-bearing columns, making the place bright.
From a distance, Zhou Qiang could see a tent in the underground parking lot.
Some figures were swaying, which seemed to be the sounds of children playing.
Newborns in the apocalypse are really rare.
The camp is so big, there are only a few children, really not many.
Adults will starve to death, let alone children.
When he got closer, Zhou Qiang felt like 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 also well-dressed.
There is nothing in the refugee camp, but it is different here. There are many supplies in the towns outside. There may not be food, but there is really no shortage of clothing and supplies.
There are no clothes, just shop after shop to choose from.
Furniture City, Electrical Appliances Supermarket.
If you are not satisfied with these, you can go door to door to find something suitable for you.
If you like it, find a way to move it back, and these things will become yours.
With solar charging, electricity consumption here is not a problem.
"The leader is back."
I don't know who shouted, and the small survivor camp burst into excitement.
Many people came out of the tent and surrounded Wang Kangnian and the others.
For them, the return of their leader is good news.
Now the livelihood of the entire survivor camp falls on the leaders. If anything happens to them, it will be a disaster for this small camp.
Wang Kangnian also showed a smile.
"dad……"
A pink little girl pounced on 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 only now that the little girl in Wang Kangnian's arms discovered Zhou Qiang, a stranger. She was so frightened that she hid in Wang Kangnian's arms, not daring to look at Zhou Qiang.
Seeing this little girl, Zhou Qiang thought of Zhou Xianxian.
Feeling a little soft in his heart, he grabbed his hand in the void, took out a piece of chocolate, and then stretched it out.
"It's for you, cutie."
The little girl didn't know what it was and was afraid to pick it up.
Wang Kangnian hesitated for a moment, then took it, peeled it open, and handed it to his daughter: "Xiaoxiao, eat it, why don't you thank uncle?"
Xiaoxiao took it and said timidly: "Thank you, uncle."
She took a small bite, then her eyes lit up and a sweet smile broke out on her face.
Wang Kangnian apologized and said: "Mr. Zhou, she has never eaten chocolate before, making you laugh."
Chocolate and sugar are definitely scarce supplies in this apocalyptic world.
Even the stored rice, flour, etc. were spoiled and moldy and inedible, not to mention the condiments, which were all melted.
No one knows why the 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 become inedible.
Zhou Qiang shook his head: "It's okay."
At this time, Wang Kangnian directed the team members to take out the green lotus salvaged today and let them distribute it to everyone in the camp.
Then the whistle sounded.
More like a signal for dinner, men and women with yellow faces and thin muscles walked out from each tent.
The survivors of the apocalypse have one thing in common, which is that they generally have chapped lips.
This is due to lack of water.
But what surprised Zhou Qiang was that these people were not blind, unlike people in other settlements who lived without knowing why and were confused about the future. The people here are more energetic and their eyes are calm.
They lined up in an orderly manner and each brought a bowl.
A transcendent person placed these green lotuses on a table, and then distributed green lotuses to everyone who came.
Not many each person, only two small roots.
It's barely enough to satisfy hunger, but it's impossible to be full.
Despite this, everyone here is smiling.
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 eagerly at these green lotuses and licked their lips.
"You lead well."
"At least they're not numb to despair."
Zhou Qiang looked at Wang Kangnian.
It can be seen that there is no oppression here, but everyone is in trouble together.
Eat together if you have something to eat, and starve together if you have nothing to eat.
Wang Kangnian showed a painful look and said: "Actually, I am very incompetent. There are only a hundred people left out of 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 it's another day to be happy."
"There will be no savior in this world. The only one who can save himself is himself."
"Live hard, maybe one day, everything will be over."
Zhou Qiang laughed.
He thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, it's fate to meet you. Just think of it as my kindness."
"I'll treat you all to a meal."
There are mountains of materials in Zhou Qiang's storage space, and he has purchased billions of materials.
Not to mention the one hundred people in front of him, even one million people, Zhou Qiang can let these one million people eat and drink for several months without worrying.
Treating them to a meal is just a drop in the bucket for Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang discovered that in the apocalypse, it is easiest to make the other person feel grateful by giving him food.
There is no better investment than this.
As for whether the other party will have evil thoughts?
Zhou Qiang really wasn't worried, he really didn't mind killing people.
Normally, Wang Kangnian would have scoffed.
Invite you to dinner?
Boss, you have nothing on your body, why don’t you bring it as a treat?
But Wang Kangnian, who had seen Zhou Qiang's mysteriousness, didn't think so.
Think about 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 was hiding?
Zhou Qiang didn't explain at all, and passed his hand in front of him.
He took out ten barrels of water in one go.
Then……
Ten bags of 100 kilograms of rice appeared.
It wasn't over yet, the canned beef rolled on the ground with a crash.
Also included are some canned fruits.
"These should be enough, right?"
Zhou Qiang calculated it and found that it was definitely too much.
Let these people eat it, and it will last for at least a month.
never mind.
How much is this little material worth?
As for Wang Kangnian and the others, they all looked at the materials on the ground with their mouths open.
Their eyes almost popped out of their heads, and their throats were swallowing saliva.
The first one or two years before the end of the world will be fine.
But in recent years, these supplies have become almost difficult to find, and are even said to have become completely moldy and inedible.
They didn't know how long they hadn't seen such supplies, which made them feel like they were in a dream.
Wang Kangnian and others were like this, and everyone else in this small camp was frightened.
The mountains of supplies made them subconsciously take a step back.
Immediately, their expressions changed from frightened to crazy, and their eyes showed a greedy look, and their eyes quickly became bloodshot.
"Mr. Zhou, these...are these all for us?"
Wang Kangnian was simply unbelievable.
These supplies, placed in the red fortress, are enough to buy a thousand slaves.
Zhou Qiang said: "It's not for you. I'll take it out and display it here for fun?"
"ah……"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
Wang Kangnian was a little incoherent. He didn't care whether there were traps in these supplies.
He was already fighting for his life for food, so he still cared about whether Zhou Qiang had set a trap for him?
"What are you doing standing there, bringing out your own pots and pans?"
Wang Kangnian roared.
Everyone in the small camp went crazy and ran to their tents.
Soon, everyone showed up with pots and pans.
"Order, how many times have I told you, line up."
A superhuman shouted.
Some crazy people still had sense and lined up one after another, but they stretched their necks and looked at the supplies that were about to be distributed with green eyes.
"Wow, I don't even know how long it's been since I had rice."
"Thank God."
"Bah, you are blind, thank you Mr. Zhou."
"Yes, yes, thank you Mr. Zhou."
The survivors in the team kept clasping their hands to express their gratitude to Zhou Qiang.
The people who can survive to this day are all people whose character and quality are recognized by Wang Kangnian. Otherwise, they would have been cleared out of the camp long ago. How could they be given food?
At this time, a man about fifty years old stood in front of the supplies. He said: "Each person can only have one or two meters, and can only make porridge. It is best to eat canned fruit first. I really want to eat canned beef. How many hours can I eat?" Just eat a piece... Your body is in a state of hunger and malnutrition for a long time. If you overeat, it may kill you."
At this time, Wang Kangnian welcomed Zhou Qiang to his tent.
Hearing what the man said, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, this man is the doctor in our camp."
Zhou Qiang nodded.
In front of the tent, a woman stood awkwardly.
"Mr. Zhou, this is my wife, Chen Huiling."
Wang Kangnian introduced.
Chen Huiling's appearance is quite good, with a score of 80. In her prime, if she dresses up, she can score at least 85, and she is considered 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 trotted over and threw herself into Chen Huiling's arms: "Mom, this chocolate is so sweet."
In an instant, Chen Huiling had the urge to cry.
If it were a prosperous age, her daughter would not suffer, but here, there are too few things she can enjoy.
"Mr. Zhou, thank you."
Chen Huiling lightly wiped the corners of her eyes.
Zhou Qiang nodded slightly, waved to Wang Kangnian and said, "Let's go over there and have a chat."
"Okay Mr. Zhou."
The two walked side by side towards the other end of the underground parking lot, and then stood under the vent.
Here, the air is finally much fresher.
Zhou Qiang took out two beach chairs from the storage space and placed them under the vent. He also took out a small table filled with snacks and some drinks. He smiled lightly and said: "Let's chat while eating. "
Wang Kangnian was only slightly surprised by Zhou Qiang's operation.
Although the time was short, it was enough to get used to it.
Wang Kangnian was not polite, picked up one of the snacks and stuffed it into his mouth.
Swallow it in a few mouthfuls.
He unscrewed another bottle of iced black tea and drank it in one go.
"call!"
"I'm not afraid that Mr. Zhou will laugh. This feeling has never happened since the end of the world."
Wang Kangnian's face showed bitterness. In the prosperous times, everyone could eat and drink snacks and drinks. Now, a bottle of iced black tea can buy a life for a man like him.
Zhou Qiang smiled.
He leaned back on his chair and said, "Do you have a communication signal in Guangnan City?"
"Mr. Zhou, yes."
Wang Kangnian rolled up his sleeves and revealed the personal smart terminal inside. "Although we are huddled here, we can still learn a lot about the outside world through the personal smart terminal."
"But it's strange, I can only receive information from Guangnan City."
"Other cities and provinces cannot receive it at all."
After hearing what Wang Kangnian said, Zhou Qiang was sure that communication actually existed based on the city.
Zhou Qiang's brows wrinkled.
According to the nature of communication, this possibility is impossible. The satellite signal must not only cover one city, but also one province or even several provinces.
But why can't we communicate between cities?
It's like being blocked.
It seems that there are still many weird things in this end of the world.
But now even Zhou Qiang can't figure out what is behind these weird things.
"How many settlements are there in Guangnan City?"
In terms of development, Guangnan City is even more prosperous than Tianwei City.
Because it is close to the coast, it goes without saying that it has geographical advantages, and its population far exceeds that of Tianweicheng.
With a population of more than 60 million, one city is larger than the population of many countries on the modern earth.
Blue Star is worthy of having ten times the population of modern Earth.
There are so many people here like ants.
Wang Kangnian said: "As far as I know, there are two places in total."
"The one place that is certain is the Red Fortress, which is where we escaped."
"The second part is a bit difficult to confirm."
"Just upstream of this river, almost outside the boundary of Guangnan City, they are very active and always send some information on personal smart terminals, such as publishing their coordinates to attract survivors."
"Not only that, they also established many large groups, pulling survivors into the group, cheering everyone up, and encouraging everyone to brave the difficulties and go to their settlements."
"By the way, green lotus is edible, that's actually what they told the survivors."
"According to them, green lotus is actually an edible food they cultivated. They will put some into the river from time to time and let the food flow down the river, giving a glimmer of life to the survivors along the river."
"It was their reminder that we ventured into the river to catch this species of green lotus."
Having said this, Wang Kangnian's face showed gratitude.
If it weren't for these green lotuses, they really wouldn't be able to bear it, 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 apocalyptic world, will there be such a responsible settlement?"
Zhou Qiang was stunned.
In my heart, I always feel that this thing is weird.
