In the distance, an old man in his sixties watched the battlefield with tears in his eyes, and the old man shivered and pulled out an old pole shotgun from his tattered luggage, and then searched out a bag of carefully preserved black* gunpowder and lead pellets with shaking hands.

Pulling through the barrel of the gun and filling it with gunpowder and lead bullets, the old man was about to rush to the front line with a shotgun.

"Daddy, what are you going to do? Don't you do anything! The old man's son grabbed his father.

"Baby, let me go and run for your life alone. Daddy didn't want to live anymore, he escaped for decades, hid for decades, and lived enough! Let me kill two zombies before I die! The old man carried a shotgun with a resolute expression.

The son burst into tears: "Daddy, don't go to death." ”

The father kicked his son and scolded: "It's not you and me who are sent to death, if the whole country were like you, we would have died a long time ago!" Get out of the way! ”

With that, the old man resolutely joined the army of civilians who fought back.

……

"Folks, don't run away, there's nowhere to run."

"That's it, run a hair, do it with a knife!"

"If you don't run, it's a big deal to die!"

"Keep up with the Buglings and protect the colony!"

Inside the settlement, a group of survivors shouted and huddled in groups, looking for anything that could be used as weapons, followed behind the soldiers, and turned to meet the zombie horde.

At first, it was only the young man among the survivors who responded bloodily, and then the old man and the woman joined in the siege of the settlement. Eventually, most of the people rallied and began to join the battle spontaneously!

Everyone received the blood call of the soldiers, and finally understood that there are some fates in life that cannot be escaped!

Fight!

Not a one-man battle!

Not alone!

……

On the battlefield, an old man with a kitchen knife confronts a zombie!

"Ahh

The old man's hands were shaking, and it could be seen what kind of fear he had overcome.

The kitchen knife fell and slashed at the zombie's neck. Black blood spurted out of the zombie's head and neck, and the zombie's roar became hoarse.

But this was not enough to kill the zombies, and the fierce zombies pounced on the old man.

The old man pushed the zombie hard, but he couldn't push the zombie away from his body.

Seeing that the zombies were about to bite him, the old man cried out, it's over!

Suddenly, a large stone fell from the sky and smashed on the zombie's head, and the zombie's swollen and huge head was instantly smashed out of shape.

The old man pushed the zombie away with difficulty, but saw a thin old woman holding a large stone in both hands and panting.

"Old man, are you still alive?" The old woman asked hurriedly after she had caught her breath.

The old man pushed away the zombie corpse with difficulty, and said with difficulty: "Wife, I'm not dead yet!" ”

……

Wang Qiang wielded a knife and slashed, and if there were high-level zombies in the zombie group, Brother Qiang would definitely be the first to catch up!

Brother Qiang raised and fell with a knife in his hand, no matter how terrible the mutated zombie was, he couldn't make a single move under Brother Qiang, and he gave his head one after another. Wang Qiang slashed with a horizontal knife, and a magnificent sword shot into the sky, but all the zombies who touched the knife were all in a different place.

Brother Qiang's combat effectiveness veterans have long seen it, but the recruits of the Three Rivers Battalion have never understood how powerful their leader is in combat ability! At this time, Brother Qiang showed it, and everyone was immediately surprised.

In the group of zombies, a giant zombie that followed to a height of five meters was angrily smashing all the zombies blocking his way into flesh and mud, and then killed in front of Wang Qiang.

The giant zombie's steel pillar-like arm smashed at Wang Qiang, and Wang Qiang responded coldly with a golden and cyan sword.

As soon as the confrontation staggered, the giant zombies were cut by the grid of knives, and countless corpse pieces fell to the ground!

The recruits can't believe their eyes, and the giant zombies, which can't be conquered by huge guns, will be chopped into pieces alive with knives.

"It's too powerful!"

"Oh my God!"

"Is this true? Pinch me! ”

"Who is that man? So ferocious? ”

"Idiot! You don't even know Brother Qiang? ”

"Damn, this is our lord, that guy named Wang Qiang? I think his name looks like a normal person. ”

"Be quiet, you speak so disrespectfully to my idol, it really makes me look down on me, and you speak disrespectfully. Watch out for the boat of our friendship that flips as it says! ”

"I know I'm wrong, long live the lord!"

……

The noisy cheers accompanied by the fierce gunfire and earth-shattering shouts completely drowned out the howls of the zombies, and the outcome of this battle was self-evident.

The zombies around him are killing fewer and less, and his teammates are killing more and more, Wang Qiang feels strong support, and countless people have built an iron-like phalanx around him, completely strangling the zombies he faces!

When the last zombie didn't know who died at the hands of whom, Wang Qiang looked at the broken corpses all over the ground and knew in his heart that the battle was over.

There is nothing left to kill, and everyone knows that the battle has finally been won!

"Oh my God, we've resisted the zombies!"

"We've won!"

"Oh yes!"

"We're too strong!"

"Paralyzed, I've never been so confident!"

"Get high!"

The soldiers erupted in cheers like a flash flood and tsunami, venting the joy of victory over fear.

Wang Qiang looked back, but saw that all the soldiers and countless survivors and civilians were involved in the battle, and his heart couldn't help but be happy.

Yan Zhao boy has been a hero since ancient times, and the ancient book does not deceive me!

"Brother Qiang, victory!" Wang Wang walked in front of him and said with suppressed excitement in his mood.

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "That's right, after this fight, the cohesion of our settlement will be strengthened a lot, and those survivors who are watching and apprehensive will at least understand that we will protect their safety!" ”

Second Master Wang came over at this time and also said: "This battle is not bad, the morale is available, even many civilians have spontaneously joined the battle, there is still hope for our settlement!" ”

Wang Qiang looked around happily, and summoned Zhao Xinghan and Xiong Aodong to order: "Organize everyone to clean up the battlefield, shelter refugees, treat the wounded, and let people dig a big pit, get some gasoline and dry firewood, and dispose of the zombies and the dead." ”

After the battle was over, the aftermath was carried out in an orderly manner, and the fleeing survivors returned to the settlement as if nothing had happened. The recruits and civilians who fought together rejoiced, boasting of their bravery but showing unfriendliness and contempt for the refugees who had fled.

As for the refugees who fled and returned, they did not know how to feel in their hearts under the double torture of conscience and self-esteem.

Wang Qiang summoned the refugees who had escaped from the Kyoto settlement, and learned from them that there was a tragic civil war in the Kyoto settlement.

The war began in the large settlements controlled by the five major families, and spread to the surrounding small settlements, and almost all the survivors of the Kyoto settlement were involved in the war, and in a short period of time, tens of thousands of settlements were destroyed by the war.

These refugees fled from the Kyoto ghetto to escape the fighting, not wanting to be besieged by the zombies entrenched in the city as soon as they arrived on the ground.

Then, the refugees fled and lured the zombies to their settlements.

After listening to the words of the refugees, Wang Qiang understood that a civil war had broken out in the Kyoto settlement, and as for the cause of the civil war, Wang Qiang could guess a few points.

Wang Qiang resettled the refugees, complied with the wishes of the refugees, and welcomed those who were willing to stay in his settlement, and those who wanted to leave would not stay.

After repatriating the people around him, Wang Qiang began to think that most of the war in the Kyoto settlement area was related to him, but when the matter came to this point, how would he deal with it?

I don't know if Yan Chao will have a better time?

Do you want to send troops to the rescue?

But if you want to send troops, you will have no one to use except new soldiers!

Traveling to the Kyoto Neighborhood on your own?

But what's the use of going on your own?

Wang Qiang couldn't think of any answers, but reason put him away from the idea of intervening in the war in the Kyoto settlement.

As the saying goes, the porridge in your own bowl is still cold, and you are still thinking about other people's bowls, which is really ridiculous.

Look at your settlement, there are countless things to worry about, so don't think about it.

After settling the survivors and refugees, Wang Qiang spent all his energy on building settlements and training recruits for the Three Rivers Battalion. With the implementation of the training, the combat effectiveness of the recruits began to gradually rise! Wang Qiang pondered that in a few days, this army would be able to pull out and wander around.

During this period of time, Xiao Yuhan completed a good project to build a wall, and the five-kilometer radius around the Zhongyu Bureau was surrounded by a five-meter-high wall, except for the two gates left in the north and south guarded by heavy soldiers, the city wall avoided the attack of low-level zombies and mutated speed zombies, and the security level of the settlement was improved again.

Subsequently, Xiao Yu was still cold, and decided to use the soil excavated from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to continue firing fire bricks, preparing to build some more pillboxes and watchtowers around the wall. As for the survivors, being able to get a job, get food to fill their stomachs, and be able to fight for their own personal safety is very motivating.

Seeing the successful construction of the wall, the activity of the residents of the settlement has also increased significantly, and many survivors have even visited Wang Qiang, hoping that Wang Qiang will allow them to bring their relatives and friends from the original settlement here.

For the requirements of the survivors, Wang Qiang is satisfied, and a sense of accomplishment is full of Brother Qiang's heart.

Shangguan Xuanyu, who had been away for many days, returned to the settlement, dozens of trucks loaded with a large number of machinery, and the soldiers were in the dust.

Wang Qiang looked at Shangguan Xuanyu, who was full of fatigue, and asked, "How is the situation on this trip?" ”

Shangguan Xuanyu smiled: "Fortunately, we have found two large arsenals and a military machinery factory, and if we transform these machines, we can initially have the level of producing bullets and small artillery shells, of course, raw materials are the focus." ”

Wang Qiangqiang is overjoyed, looking at the fully loaded trucks, he can imagine the future of the settlement.

At the same time, there was also small news that Shangguan Xuanyu also found several huge freezers in the suburbs of Tongzhou, and found a lot of frozen meat in them that were more than 30 years old!

If these zombie meat were placed in the old republic period, they would have been properly destroyed, but now, it is indeed rare food, and it is very sought-after!

With food and weapons, anything is possible, and Wang Qiang is full of confidence, and the future of the settlement will definitely be extraordinarily strong.

Calm and rapid, Wang Qiang received several batches of refugees from Kyoto's settlements, and the population swelled to nearly 40,000 in a moment.

With such a large population, Wang Qiang is very worried about food!

There are more than 40,000 mouths waiting to be fed, and Brother Qiang is not a magician, where can he find so much food?

Seeing that rationing could not solve the problem of food shortage, Brother Qiang felt that the fire was burning to his buttocks.

Fortunately, at this critical time, a refugee named Du Yong made an effective report to Wang Qiang--- there is a small grain warehouse in the Yongshan settlement in the Kyoto settlement, which mainly stores mushroom food grown underground!

Wang Qiang was surprised and delighted when he heard this report, and immediately summoned the survivors of the Longshan settlement to inquire.

Originally, this Yongsan settlement was a mushroom production base directly managed by the Kyoto settlement, but the war caused chaos in the Yongsan settlement, and the main managers were attacked by the mob that took advantage of the chaos in the Kyoto settlement, and the base was ransacked. And Du Yong is the warehouse manager in the Longshan settlement! Therefore, Du Yong knew that the food that was about to be handed over from the harvest in the settlement was still properly kept and was not discovered.

Wang Qiang got this tip, so he sent Xiao Yuhan and Wang Wang, leading 300 veterans and 1,000 recruits, to the Longshan settlement, and was lucky to find more than 500 tons of grain!

This is really a joyous thing, so much food, enough to alleviate the predicament for a while!

In order to carry these grains, Brother Qiang dispatched most of the survivors!

With the help of these mushroom grains, Wang Qiang solved the urgent needs of the settlement, and more importantly, Wang Qiang obtained more valuable things from the grain seed bank of the Longshan settlement--- fast-growing mushroom seeds.

After the end times, food became a great problem, the ground was no longer safe, and no one could live on the farm for a long time.

Even in some remote areas, there are conditions and foundations for planting, but when it comes to harvest, there are countless survivors who come from far and wide to loot the grain. Finally, the drastic changes in the climate have also made growing food a luxury, and over time, the traditional cultivation methods that have existed for thousands of years have completely disappeared!

If there are no grains, it does not mean that people will not live!

In order to survive, biologists and botanists in Kyoto's settlements have worked hard to create a super-fast-growing mushroom as a substitute for whole grains.

This plant, known as the mushroom, can grow in a dark, damp environment and can be grown very well without good soil conditions.

Fast-growing mushrooms have amazing environmental adaptability and reproduction, as well as a ripening cycle that ordinary grains cannot match.

As long as this kind of mushroom is planted in caves, stone walls, rotten sewers and other environments, it can reproduce a large area without careful care, and its reproductive capacity is more than ten times that of seaweed and water hyacinth, as long as it is sown, it will be harvested.

It only takes 20 to 25 days from sowing to harvesting, in other words, the ripening cycle of a season of mushrooms only takes one month.

During the Old Republic, Super Rice was able to harvest all year round in the warm south, while Ground Mushroom, as long as the conditions are right, can have more than 12 crops a year!

This is the result of science and technology!

Although the taste of the fast-growing mushroom is very good, and the lingering earthy smell is undesirable to many people, the mushroom provides an amazing amount of starch and plant sugar that is found in any other food.

Thanks to the presence of fast-growing mushrooms, several settlements have been able to develop underground, and humanity will not suffer extinction.

Wang Qiang obtained a large number of mushroom seeds from the grain planting depot in the Longshan settlement, which can be said to be a great harvest, with these seeds, it only takes a month to survive, and the food problem in the settlement can be fundamentally solved.

For this month's time, Brother Qiang is still very confident!

Because before that, in order to solve the recent food problem, Wang Qiang specially sent Mulkang to Hebei and T settlements to mobilize grain.

However, on this eventful time, shortly after Mulcon's departure, bad news came.

"Brother Qiang, you must help us! The blind old man died so miserably! They killed us all!" Zhao Kun and Wen Xi sat in front of Wang Qiang, wailing and crying.

Wang Qiang frowned, preoccupied.

The T settlement was attacked by a group of armed men of unknown origin, and only a few people survived in the entire settlement, and a large number of ordinary civilians were slaughtered.

To Wang Qiang's surprise, the enemy took all his corpses.

This proves that the enemy was premeditated and purposeful.

How should I cope?

What made Wang Qiang feel even more in crisis was that Mu Erkang still had no news.

Shortly after Murkang and his men left the T settlement for the Hebei settlement, the T settlement was attacked, and after that, Murkang was never heard from.

As a veteran genetic warrior and bounty hunter, Mulkang's ability to survive in the wild is undoubted, even if he encounters a large group of zombies, Mulkang has a chance to escape no matter how hard he loses his armor, and it is too abnormal to disappear for no reason like this.

Wang Qiang sent people to Tongzhou County in the east to recall Shangguan Xuanyu, who was carrying arsenals and sweeping factories and enterprises, and Wang Wang, who was leading troops to hunt and train recruits for the Sanhe Battalion in the north.

"I promised the blind old man to take care of the T settlement, but I didn't expect them to be murdered! My intention was to avenge the innocents in the T settlement. Wang Qiang said.

Shangguan Xuanyu knocked on the table and said, "Of course revenge must be avenged, if none of the survivors under our rule can guarantee their safety, the prestige of our settlement will also be hit." But first of all, we must know who the enemy is, and we don't even know who the enemy is, so how can we take revenge? ”

"Then find the enemy!" Wang Qiang said profoundly.

The crowd was silent.

If you say that you find the enemy, you can find the enemy, and it's so easy to say it.

Second Master Wang sighed and said: "Let's start with finding out the murderer in this matter of revenge, we have a few masters of tracking clues, but unfortunately they all followed Han Yuntian and others to the Bohai Realm to explore the movements of the Ring Island Army, if these people are still there, you might as well send them to track and explore." ”
