Chapter 19: The Maniac and the Monster

The sky that has been washed away from the dark clouds is very blue, just like Meng Qingqiang's mood at this time, as soon as the day dawns, after knowing the news of Meng Qingqiang's return, Liu Shumin took her daughter and had to come over to thank him, but Bai Ying couldn't help her, so she could only accompany the two of them to find Meng Qingqiang who was removing snow outside.

Looking at the mother and son in front of him, Meng Qingqiang smiled and said that he didn't have to mind too much, and asked them to stay in Mengjia Village with peace of mind, and he would also help them solve the problems on the other side of the reservoir camp, for Meng Qingqiang's easy-going and generous, the mother and son were even more happy, and always said that since they had joined Mengjia Village, they would make more contributions to the village, and never be a waste person who ate and drank for nothing, Meng Qingqiang said on the one hand that he was not in a hurry, and after he took care of his body, he would do what he could, and on the other hand, he also sighed secretly, It seems that the oppression and exploitation of the lives of ordinary people in the reservoir camps can still play a positive role in provoking people's subjective initiative.

Liu Tiefeng, who was removing snow together, saw the mother and daughter leaving, so he stopped what he was doing, walked over and handed Meng Qingqiang a cigarette, and said: "Brother Qiang, I totaled a night last night, we met that group of people the night before yesterday obviously will not give up, I have no opinion on the mother and son staying with us, it looks strange and pitiful, but that group of people will definitely come back, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, and it is not a way to wait for them to come to the door, we have a lot of old and young, and there are many people who come to them, and it is inevitable that there will be problems. Otherwise, let's call the stones, find the camp, and solve the matter directly, it shouldn't be difficult for the three of us. After speaking, he stared at Meng Qingqiang, who was smoking a cigarette, expectantly.

"The idea is good, in fact, I think so too, but you can rest assured, you don't need to make a move with the stone, I have already solved the matter of that camp, and they will definitely not dare to appear again" Meng Qingqiang did not tell Liu Tiefeng what he did last night, but he also heard the meaning of Meng Qingqiang's words.

"You didn't come back last night, Old Man Chen didn't let me ask, saying that you have something to do, so let's not worry, could it be that you have already been there?" Liu Tiefeng glared and asked in surprise, hearing his words, Meng Qingqiang couldn't help but give the old and refined Chen Lao a thumbs up in his heart, it is really amazing, it is estimated that as soon as he left at noon, the old man guessed his purpose, thinking of this Meng Qingqiang felt a burst of relief, there is such an elder in his own small group, many things do not need to be bothered.

However, his good mood disappeared not long after, and he swore to Liu Tiefeng in the morning that there would be no trouble, but he was slapped in the face in the afternoon.

Two pickup trucks carrying seven or eight heavily armed men came to the entrance of the village, and the villagers who discovered the situation urgently took refuge in the earthen fence and at the same time issued their weapons. And Liu Shumin, who also came out to check, recognized at a glance that the person who came was someone from the reservoir camp. At this time, Meng Qingqiang, who was standing alone behind the rejection horse, also saw Xing Tianliang and Huang Guangming who came out of the car.

After the two got out of the car, they first showed Meng Qingqiang that they were not carrying any weapons, and then asked the others to stay in the car, and then slowly walked towards him. Looking at Huang Guangming, who was nervous, and Xing Tianliang, who was walking in front of him with a smile on his face, Meng Qingqiang said through the rejection of the horse: "Boy, I thought that we would meet again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, just one night, you appeared in front of me again, is it possible that you think I am a person who likes to joke, what I said last night, I forgot it so quickly?" ”

Looking at Meng Qingqiang, who was unhappy and impatient, Xing Tianliang seemed to smile even brighter. He said unhurriedly: "Village Chief Meng, I was in a hurry last night, it was too hasty, we haven't really met yet, my name is Xing Tianliang, this is Huang Guangming, and you are too worried, this time, we don't have any hostility, but come with sincerity, except for my second brother who wants to meet Sister Shumin and Xiaoqing, the main thing is that I want to talk to you about something." As for the people in the car, it was just a security measure to ensure that we could get here safely, they would not enter the village, and asked Village Chief Meng to let us in, so that we could sit down and have a good talk. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, I just dismantled your eldest brother and brother into parts just a dozen hours ago, do you think I'll be relieved that you'll come in?" Meng Qingqiang stared at the two people in front of him with one eye, and teased the good things he did last night in a relaxed tone.

And hearing his words, Xing Tianliang remembered the bloody scene last night in his heart, and then looked at the unburdened eyes in front of him, and couldn't help repeating the noun again: monster. The man in front of him is just wearing human skin, but what does it matter, monster, who doesn't have one or two in their hearts?

"First, Wang Husheng is my boss, not my eldest brother, he hired me and I worked for him, I regret his death, but since he is no longer there, then I will find another boss. And those other people are just scum in the past and now, of course, in the last days, the value is strength rather than morality, but for me, there will be no sympathy for the scum to be eliminated. Second, for me, who has actually witnessed Village Chief Meng's performance the whole time, what difference does it make to you whether I am hostile or not? Thirdly, after you left yesterday, there were some problems with those parts, and I think it is necessary to tell you. ”

After listening to Xing Tianliang's words, Meng Qingqiang smiled, then removed the heavy rejection horse with one hand, and beckoned to the two of them, "Have you eaten, you are a little late, if you want to eat early, eat together at noon." You are the first batch of official visitors to our Mengjia Village," as if the aggressive person just now was not him, and a smile reappeared on Meng Qingqiang's face.

Everyone opened the gate of Tuwei and welcomed the three of them, and after entering, Xing Tianliang also found that as the fourth child said, except for a young man, the others were old and weak and women. And Huang Guangming, who saw Shumin, also had a complex look on his face at this time, including excitement, longing, regret, etc., and Meng Qingqiang, who noticed his abnormality, said: "This brother, I can see that there are some stories between you and Sister Shumin, you can go to the house with her to have a good chat, but I hope you can remember that you are now in Mengjia Village, and Sister Shumin is already from our Mengjia Village, you had better follow our rules." After explaining these words, he sent the others to do their own work, just to let Liu Tiefeng pay attention to the people in the car outside. then led Xing Tianliang to the house and sat down.

Meng Qingqiang, who was looking around, poured a cup of hot water for Xing Tianliang, who was looking around, and lit a cigarette by himself. "Alright, boy, tell me, what are you going to talk about?"

Xing Tianliang put down the water glass, looked at Meng Qingqiang opposite, and said with a smile: "This is really a warm place, it doesn't appear at all that we are actually living in a world full of man-eating monsters, Village Chief Meng, you really care about the people around you, rely on your strength, build this place like a real big family, you can see from the faces of your family members, they are satisfied and happy with their current life." But how long do you think your extended family can last forever? You already know the situation in our camp, although Boss Wang's actions make people feel angry, but you can't deny that this mode of survival is the real reality of the last days, and your strength is indeed very strong, but you are the only one, how many people can you protect, today is a pair of mother and son, tomorrow there will be many ordinary people who are in a weak position in the last days to join your big family, can you still maintain your current happiness at that time? Hearing his words, Meng Qingqiang was silent for a while and frowned: "What do you want to say?" ”

"You need me! We need Brother Huang, we need our camp and the people in the camp, to put it simply, you need a force, a foundation that can grow and develop in the last days, not a big family that lives a small life behind closed doors. At the same time, we also need you, Wang Husheng is a black boss, but in the end, he is just an ordinary person, he is different from you, you are born in response to the situation, and you are the real hope of mankind in the last days. With the gradually rising voice, Xing Tianliang's face showed a trace of excitement, which was completely different from his usual calm face, which was a little surprising to Meng Qingqiang.

"You mean let us join your camp?" "No, it's us joining you, and you may not realize your importance to people in the last days." Meng Qingqiang smiled and said: "Xiao Xing, are you exaggerating too much, although I am stronger than ordinary people, but I am not as powerful as you say, at least not to mention a nuclear bomb, even if it is a missile or something, I can only end up in ashes." ”

"So, you need a force, you need a force made up of humans, and then I will help you slowly expand your power until it is big enough to play a decisive role in human society."

After listening to Xing Tianliang's words, Meng Qingqiang shook his head with a smile, and said: "What you said is still too exaggerated, and too far away, I still don't think that I am as important as you say, I am just an ordinary husband, an ordinary father, or a friend, according to your words, is it possible that I still have to be a leader or something?" "Actually, you are already a leader, and I see in you all the ingredients of being a leader, strong personal strength, decisive character and execution, and this personal charisma that makes people aspire to admire. These are all factors that will make us successful in the last days, the world we live in has been broken and regressed, the equality of all people has been broken, the law of the jungle has been infinitely magnified, and in this age, there needs to be someone who stands up and leads us out of the wilderness to the Canaan of mankind like Moses."

Looking at Xing Tianliang, who was already a little crazy, Meng Qingqiang was a little dumbfounded, and he secretly suspected, "Could it be that this kid looks at Si Swenwen, who is smart and steady, is actually a madman?" Or was he a little nervous after witnessing my killing last night? ”

As if guessing what Meng Qingqiang was thinking, Xing Tianliang returned to his former calm and calmness, "I'm very awake now, in fact, in this nightmarish world, it is difficult for human beings to tell whether they are awake or crazy. You don't know, after you left last night, three of the people you killed mutated, and I didn't destroy the bodies of these three mutants, because they are a little different, they neither attack humans nor act, they just stand there like soldiers waiting for orders, and they are the same as you, with black blood flowing from ordinary monsters. ”

Hearing this amazing news, Meng Qingqiang was stunned for a moment, he had always had some doubts about his mutation, such as the ability to be several times stronger than ordinary corpses, and the fact that he was black, while ordinary corpses were dark green, from the outside, it was very different, and now it was obvious that the transformed corpse man was produced because of himself, and it also showed a different situation from ordinary corpses, which further explained that his body was different from that of a parallel universe soul, which made his doubts even greater, He was even a little anxious to see the transformed corpse person Xing Tianliang said first.

"Also, I think that in terms of living environment alone, your current Mengjia Village is completely incomparable to our camp, which is backed by a large reservoir with direct access to the nearby canal, and the canal ends in the sea, so that we can go to various places by water, and the camp is located on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by a large area of woods, and a large area of arable land, which are necessary environmental conditions for the development and survival of the population. Not far from the camp there is also an annual-regulated hydropower plant, which can hold enough water to generate large amounts of electricity without the need to supply water to neighbouring cities. Although the current power station is currently out of service, we have people from the power plant in our camp, and as long as we have the right manpower, we can get the hydropower station back up and running. Based on the above, it can be said that that it is the place where your Mengjia Village should really be located. ”

Putting aside those ideas that he thought were whimsical, Meng Qingqiang was very interested in Xing Tianliang's last words, or rather he was very interested in that camp now. Even after listening to those advantages, he decided in his heart that he wanted to move Mengjia Village there for the first time, as for whether Xing Tianliang had other ideas, he didn't care very much, because as long as there was a slight sign, he would immediately destroy other humanitarians.

Subsequently, Meng Qingqiang decided to take Chen Lao and Shumin to the camp by the reservoir to inspect it after a little preparation, and then come back to discuss whether to relocate. Xing Tianliang, who basically achieved his goal, said that he was waiting for the arrival of the Mengjia Village delegation in the camp, and it was precisely the request to join Mengjia Village. Meng Qingqiang readily agreed. And Huang Guangming, who also agreed to join Mengjia Village, also reluctantly said goodbye to Shumin and returned with Xing Tianliang to prepare for waiting for Meng Qingqiang and his party.

Looking at the departing pickup truck, Meng Qingqiang squinted his one eye, thinking about today's conversation and the future development and plan of the matter, the voice of his son calling him to eat behind him sounded, listening to the voice of the little guy, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Well, the rice still has to be eaten one bite at a time."
