A tall, thin red-haired man mustered up the courage to stand up and asked in a low voice, "Lord McGee, I'm an agile mutant with little strength, can I change my own competition method?" ”

"Why do I need a hunter with agility mutation? Do you run faster when you run away? Fuck off, you are not needed here! "McGee was worried that his fire was nowhere to fire, and he actually came to hit the muzzle of the gun.

The red-haired man didn't dare to say much, and walked away.

"Come on, don't be like a, in pairs, come over here and put your hands on the wall." Lady McGee smirked at the red-haired man who had walked away, and yelled at the remaining ones.

The pasture is close to the town, with sheep and cattle pens, where the cattle spend the night, and the walls are made of sturdy stones, more than half a man high, just enough to be used as a place to wrench their wrists.

Zhang Le didn't expect that he would become a sweetheart, seven of the remaining nine candidates rushed to him, and the remaining two did not squeeze in. It seems that these people all regard themselves as soft persimmons, and they don't pinch them for nothing.

"Pick me!"

"Pick me!"

"Pick me!"

"......" Zhang Le was speechless.

Several candidates scrambled one by one and stretched out their hands to Zhang Le. Adam covered his face on the side, not daring to face Zhang Le's gaze.

"It's you!" Zhang Le pointed to a thin man who looked the weakest in a group of candidates. Several of the candidates on the side let out a sigh of loss. Zhang Le originally wanted to make a quick decision, but since there are so many extras, he always has to cooperate with them, and he can't show himself too strong.

A total of ten people, in teams of two, under the loud "GO" command of McGee, everyone started the first round of the competition. The three groups quickly decided the winner, leaving Zhang Le's thin group and another pair of bearded groups. The evenly matched strength of Zhang Le's thin group was deliberately played by Zhang Le, but the pair of bearded groups were really chess opponents.

The thin man opposite Zhang Le is only relative, and from the perspective of dimensions, he is still much stronger than Zhang Le. This thin man is less than 1.7 meters, half a head shorter than Zhang Le, and his eyes are fierce, he originally thought that he had picked up a big bargain and could win quickly in the first round and reserve more physical strength for the next round. It's just that he didn't expect that he would actually meet a boring guy like Zhang Le. Every time he felt that he was going to win, he was immediately pulled back by Zhang Le, once, twice, three times, and when it came to the tenth time, he finally understood that the little white face opposite was playing with himself.

In the apocalyptic world, the strong are respected, and he doesn't have any special sense of humiliation, but he feels that he has encountered a perverted neurosis. "You have this time and I have to spend energy, can't you save some energy and use it in the next round?" This thin man really wanted to persuade Zhang Le like this.

But outsiders don't know. The two sets of anxious matches made the blood boil for the people on the side, and they shouted the names of the players. Zhang Le, as the least favored player, cheered more for "James", and Adam's voice was the loudest. The two sets of beards finally decided the winner, with Redbeard defeating Yellowbeard. Now only Zhang Le's group remains.

The thin man's name is Phil, Zhang Le's name is James, and for a while, only these two names were called, and the atmosphere was warm. Seeing that the bearded group had already divided the winners and losers, Phil planned to admit defeat and not waste his strength. But when Phil didn't use force, Zhang Le didn't use force, Phil used force, Zhang Le followed with force, Phil wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that his hand was held tightly and couldn't move.

"I throw in the towel!" While scolding Zhang Le for "MMP" in his heart, Phil raised his other hand to admit defeat. Everyone booed, expressing disdain for Phil's initiative to admit defeat, and the brave should persevere to the end. Phil rolled his eyes, didn't argue, only scolded inwardly: "You stupid people know a fart!" I'm having a nervous breakdown, can I say that! ”

Because Zhang Le's group lasted the longest, out of the principle of taking care of the players, Zhang Le was lucky to have a bye in the remaining five-person melee.

The closer you get to victory, the more effort the remaining players will have. Redbeard once again won a hard-fought victory, but after winning, his entire arm began to tremble slightly, and he lost his strength severely. The other group was even more unlucky, as they both injured their wrists in a desperate battle and had to withdraw from the competition at the same time.

Adam's eyes widened, and the other players and security guards shouted in disbelief. Zhang Le, who was the least optimistic, actually rushed to the finals.

Security Chief McGee didn't care so much, and after a three-minute break, the duel between Thiago the Redbeard and Zhang Le finally came.

“Ready，go。” As soon as Ms. McGee gave the command, Zhang Le immediately moved, and in the disbelief of the red-bearded Thiago, he pressed down cleanly.

"I haven't started yet!" Thiago the red-bearded protested vehemently. Thiago hasn't recovered from the last round, his arm is still sore, and his reaction speed is half a beat slower.

Ms. McGee glanced at Zhang Le, then at Thiago, and said, "The rules are the rules, I shouted to start, and then you lost." ”

Adam excitedly rushed to the front and had a bear hug with Zhang Le. Although others were a little unconvinced, they also had to admire Zhang Le's good luck and congratulated Zhang Le one after another. Phil stepped forward to hold Zhang Le's hand and scolded in a low voice, "You're just a bastard." Zhang Le smiled and patted Phil's arm in a friendly way, and Phil laughed too.

The dust has settled.

Zhang Le and Adam were grouped together and immediately began the day's ranch security work. Zhang Le is a newcomer and is still on probation, so the current daily wage is three New Zealand dollars, the probationary period is one week, and the regular employee is four New Zealand dollars a day.

In addition to giving Zhang Le a set of work clothes, the ranch also asked Zhang Le to choose a weapon, and Zhang Le chose a big sword weighing 1.3 meters long and 15 kilograms. The mutated creatures of the end of the world have rough skin and thick flesh, and unless they have particularly sharp small weapons, it is more practical to choose heavy weapons.

In addition to the head of security, Ms. McGee, there are five groups of 10 security personnel. The ranch is an irregular rectangle, about three kilometers long, about one kilometer wide, and about eight kilometers in circumference, and each group maintains a distance of between one and two kilometers, patrolling the edge of the pasture. Each group only needs to go around once a day.

It's a very easy job, the herding is done by a dedicated herder, and if there are no mutant creatures, the actual job of the security guard is to wander around the pasture. Before dark, the herders herdsmen herd the cattle and sheep into the pens, and then the night shift security guards are responsible for the safety of the cattle and sheep.

There are only three security guards on the night shift, after all, the cattle and sheep are already in the pen, and the scope of care is much smaller. The salary of a night shift security guard is a little more than that of a day shift security guard, five dollars. This is because night shift security personnel must not only have a certain amount of force, but also be visually enhanced mutants.

With Adam, a senior, Zhang Le not only quickly became familiar with the work, but also had a more detailed understanding of the situation of the ranch. The cattle and sheep raised in the pasture are all dominant mutant cattle and sheep, the individual is about half larger than the previous cattle and sheep, and the meat quality is more delicious, and the previous ordinary cattle and sheep breeds have long been eliminated in the nuclear radiation all over the world.

After a day of patrolling, Zhang Le learned that the so-called safety of working on the ranch is really not completely safe, but just relatively going to the wild, otherwise the town would not pay the security staff more than three New Zealand dollars a day.

Over the course of a day, Zhang Le and Adam dealt with a crocodile and three mutant water snake attacks. Both crocodile and water snake attacks occur when livestock are drinking in the river. This small river that protects the pasture is connected to the large river downstream and the marshland upstream, and is often visited by aquatic mutants. The river, which was supposed to protect livestock safety and prevent them from escaping, has become the biggest danger to livestock.

The creek is blocked by a wire fence at both ends, but it can't completely stop the clever mutated creatures from bypassing the wire fence.

The dominant mutant cattle and sheep are strong, and although they are injured, they are not life-threatening. The three mutant water snakes and one mutant crocodile are all ordinary mutants, not big, the water snake is more than two meters long, and the crocodile is more than three meters long, which is slightly larger than its pre-apocalyptic counterpart, and Adam and Zhang Le easily killed them. Although Zhang Le tried his best to suppress his strength, his combat strength was still recognized by Adam.

The only pity is that the meat of ordinary mutant creatures or deformed mutant creatures has a strange taste, and even a good chef has no good way to improve it. Zhang Le and Adam can only bury the meat in the soil and use it as fertilizer for pasture.
