Wang Qiang exchanged a total of 300,000 yuan for the zombie materials delivered to the military office by three trucks, of which more than 200,000 yuan was spent on the purchase of arms, which were consigned by the military and sent to the grinding stone pit. The rest of the money Wang Qiang spent most of it on the purchase of food, which was mostly canned and instant hot food, which filled three trucks, and the food that could not be filled was consigned by the military. The total amount of food purchased this time was huge, and if it was used sparingly, it would be enough to support a force of 3,000 men for two months.

After the task of purchasing arms and food was completed, the big stone in Wang Qiang's heart fell, so he began to recruit soldiers.

Fangling City has a specially opened recruitment gathering place, known as the population market.

Wang Qiang asked left and right, and finally came to the population market in Fangling City. I saw that the original People's Square in Fangling City was full of unemployed people sitting on the ground. These hungry bounty hunters of all sizes, staring around with eager eyes, seem to be looking for any life-changing opportunity.

Looking at the bounty hunters who were like pigs and dogs all over the ground, Wang Qiang sighed in his heart, these people's lives are really miserable.

Passing through the crowd, Wang Qiang continued to walk forward.

"Brother Qiang, there are so many people, how can we recruit them?" Xiao Zhong asked.

It's really messy here, Wang Qiang thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know how to recruit, so let's take a look first." ”

With the attitude of visiting, the three of them walked and walked to a terrace, only to see a simple platform built on the terrace, and the platform was full of free bounty hunters waiting for it.

At this time, a tall warrior dressed in animal skins walked up to the terrace and shouted to the countless people in the audience: "Our station is in Guizhi Town in the west, and now I need three hundred strong guys to go with me, with a monthly salary of five yuan, three meals, and if you have ideas, follow me." ”

After speaking, the beast skin warrior kicked down the terrace with the weapon in his hand and swaggered away. The Fur Warriors were followed by a horde of free-spirited bounty hunters.

Looking at the surging crowd, Wang Qiang was dumbfounded!

"Five dollars a month, what can you do with five dollars?" Wang Qiang said in surprise.

At this time, an elderly free mercenary beside Wang Qiang spoke: "Housheng, you don't understand, take care of three meals, have a full meal, it's great to have a full meal this year." ”

Wang Qiang silently asked the old bounty hunter, "Why don't you go with you?" ”

The old bounty hunter's wrinkled face showed a sad look and said, "There are only three hundred people, and they can't look down on old guys like me." ”

Wang Qiang looked at the old bounty hunter and asked, "What will you do?" ”

The Elder Bounty Hunter said, "I don't have genetic enhancements, but I can track them in the wild, I can make simple traps, and I can use normal weapons. ”

Wang Qiang took Xiao Chong's poisonous cockroach bazooka, handed it to the elderly bounty hunter, and asked, "Will you use this?" ”

Since Xiao Chong's AK47 was blown up, Xiao Chong has not yet taken advantage of the weapon, and seeing the poisonous cockroach bazooka at this time is like seeing the dream lover of his previous life, Xiao Chong will not let go.

The old bounty hunter looked at the bazooka and said, "Poisonous cockroaches, you can get fifteen yuan for a shot, and it's hard to know the fighters among the local tyrants." ”

"Will you use it?" Wang Qiang asked.

"Of course, is this thing difficult?" The old bounty hunter spoke.

Wang Qiang snapped his fingers, returned the bazooka to Xiao Chong's hand, and then said to the elderly bounty hunter: "Follow me on the road, you have been recruited." ”

The old bounty hunter was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Young descendant, why did you recruit me?" You have to pay for recruiting me, can you afford it? ”

Wang Erye, who had been standing behind Wang Qiang, said: "Little brother, don't stop talking, follow us, and eat three meals for you." ”

Second Master Wang is not young, much older than this old bounty hunter, and it makes sense to call the old man a young man.

The old bounty hunter didn't care if Second Master Wang took advantage of him when he heard this, and the old bounty hunter was instantly excited when he heard the words that he had eaten three meals, and nodded his head hurriedly: "Okay, what you want!" ”

Wang Qiang completed the first recruitment in the population market and began to continue to look for the next person.

But the dazed Wang Qiang has been gone for a long time, and he has not found a breakthrough in large-scale recruitment, is it possible that he also has to climb high and shout?

"Boss, what kind of people are you going to recruit, maybe I can help." Lao Lei asked.

This elderly bounty hunter's surname is Lei, so Wang Qiang calls him Lao Lei.

At this time, Lao Lei opened his mouth to ask, Wang Qiang thought for a while and replied: "There are no special requirements for the people I want to recruit, as long as the limbs are sound and the head is good enough to be able to use firearms proficiently, of course, it is better to master a skill." ”

"Oh, such a request, such a request is not difficult." Lao Lei thought for a while and continued: "Boss, I also have a lot of acquaintances here, why don't I try to help you recruit according to your standards?" ”

"It's fine." Wang Qiang readily agreed.

As a result, on the second day, Lao Lei brought a few hundred people, and after a period of screening, Wang Qiang left some of them, and on the third day, Lao Lei brought a few hundred people, and Wang Qiang carefully selected them......

Such a choice was unacceptable, and finally some bounty hunters coaxed, but as soon as Wang Qiang announced the treatment, all the bounty hunters put away their dissatisfaction and became extremely disciplined.

What are you kidding, the treatment given by Wang Qiang can be regarded as the treatment of the regular army of the Eastern Corps, such an opportunity is rare!

After three days of selection, Wang Qiang selected a troop of 800 people, and after completing the conscription, Wang Qiang exchanged the remaining money for some materials and packed them together.

The arms and most of the food Wang Qiang entrusted to the military to carry out the consignment, and the remaining recruits gathered in groups and began to march on foot.

Since most of the roads leading from Fangling City to Moshikeng were mountain roads, the march of 40 kilometers in a straight line was far more than 40 kilometers, so the marching team brought all the rations for three full days, followed behind the trucks, and slowly drove away.

In order to appease the newly recruited troops, Wang Qiang personally led the team to walk with the soldiers, Li Guang led the troops in ancient times, and ate and lived with the officers and soldiers, although Wang Qiang did not have much experience in leading troops, but he could do it by example.

But Wang Qiang didn't know that his example had become the best quality in the eyes of the newly recruited fighters!

For the freedom bounty hunters who pin their heads to their belts and play with their lives, they certainly don't like the kind of people who force themselves with guns and shout, "Rush to Lao Tzu." And every Freedom Bounty Hunter is eager to meet difficulties and stand up to everyone: "Brothers, rush with me." "A good man.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of everyone, Wang Qiang is such a good man.

This new boss is not only young, but also not arrogant, but also has the quality of hard-working and hard-working, and is willing to share the weal and woe with his own recruiters at the lowest level. Many freedom bounty hunters have wandered in many places, and the bosses they have followed are unknown, and the scum they have seen is too many to count, but the one in front of him is definitely different.

Many bounty hunters who joined with a mixed attitude, when they realized that this could be a special opportunity in life, put away their contempt and misanthropy, began to change their mentality, and tried to integrate into this new collective.

On the road to the grinding stone pit, Wang Qiang led the army to march, and everyone behind him hummed songs and told meat jokes, and the crowd broke out into laughter from time to time.

Although we are in the last days, although zombies are everywhere, the optimistic nature of human beings is always inadvertently displayed, just like those small grasses growing in the cracks of mountain cliffs and rocks, which can always break through the soil when the sun shines.

Wang Qiang walked and walked happily, humming songs, singing together those popular songs from decades ago, or hundreds of years ago, listening to the jokes told by the bounty hunters, laughing.

Wang Qiang is sure that he has not been so happy for a long time.

……

As he walked, Wang Qiang noticed that there was always a recruiter who broke away from the crowd from time to time and ran back and forth on the cluttered slopes of the mountain road.

Wang Qiang noticed this person's abnormality, and also followed forward to observe what this recruiter was going to do up close.

Lao Lei is good at tracking and receiving, and he is also good at trap identification, and when he saw Wang Qiang paying attention to the recruiter, he followed him together.

I saw this recruiter, digging here and there on the ground, shoveling, as if looking for something.

"Old Lei, what are you doing here?" Wang Qiang asked.

Although Wang Qiang's ability to survive in the wild is very strong, he still likes to consult professionals.

Lao Lei pondered the traces on the ground for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not like making a mark, it should be digging something." ”

"Get him here and ask." Wang Qiang commanded.

There were already a few idle men who were in pain and were eager to perform, and they rushed to the target with all their might, and captured the person in three strokes and two blows.

Wang Qiang looked at the middle-aged man who was captured in front of him, and asked, "What are you doing all this way?" ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "Boss, I'm digging plants!" ”

"Digging plants? What's the use of digging? Wang Qiang asked curiously.

The middle-aged man broke free from the others' grasps, picked up an oiled paper bag from the ground, and then took out a few plants from the bag.

"This is mountain wheat, a type of barley, which was originally grown in the north, but now it also appears in the south because of climate changes." The middle-aged man said with a plant in his hand.

"Barley? What's the use of it? Wang Qiang asked.

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Qiang in a daze, and said, "Boss, these are all food!" ”

"Food?" Wang Qiang was surprised.

"Don't be kidding, I have something to eat, do I need you to dig up these wild barley?" Wang Qiang said.

Speaking of this, Wang Qiang couldn't help but think of the days when he was young and begging for a living in the Lower City Exploration Team, didn't he also look for food like this?

But now the situation is different, when Wang Qiang left Watergate City, Nian Qiang specially allocated a batch of materials to himself, plus the leftover materials of the 31st Special Operations Division collected in the grinding stone pit, and the food exchanged this time, all of which were enough for himself and his recruited troops to fill their stomachs without hunger.

That's why Wang Qiang asked the middle-aged man in a novel way.
