Standing in front of the stall was a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance, who was neatly cleaned and clean, cleaner than most people in the gathering place.

Wearing glasses, the collar and cuffs are badly worn, and the hem of the suit is patched, he looks good at all, obviously this person still has a certain status in the gathering place.

He carefully looked at Zeng Qiang's face, and his mouth trembled for a long time to say something, but in the end he lowered his head, and he didn't have the courage to say the words that came to his mouth.

"What do you want to say?" Zeng Qiang was the first to speak, he always felt that this man had something to say.

The man glanced at Zeng Qiang cautiously, and only after a while did he speak: "Do you want to buy books?" ”

"Buying books? Now that I can't eat enough, is anyone still reading? ”

The man lowered his head again, Zeng Qiang was telling the truth, but he was more stubborn, and he felt that books and other things still needed to exist, so he collected a lot of books, and he had books on all aspects of knowledge.

"I also know, but the knowledge in these books may slowly disappear with this world, so I have saved them." The man lowered his head and explained, he didn't dare to look at Zeng Qiang's eyes, he was afraid of being disappointed.

Hearing what the man said so gloomy, Zeng Qiang was also very embarrassed, the man's thoughts coincided with him, and he also planned to accept these books in his heart, including this book seller.

"What's your name, and what did you do before the end of the world?" Zeng Qiang decided to learn more about him before taking him in, he didn't want to bring back some people with ulterior motives.

The man saw Zeng Qiang dressed in a military uniform with a gun and a knife, thinking that he might be a person from a big force, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "My name is Xiao Jian, and I am a chemical engineer......

In fact, the man didn't say a word, he was not really a chemical engineer, he was in prison before the end of the world, because he was used to make drugs.

Zeng Qiang felt that as long as the work with a teacher must be good, such as our common teachers and doctors, so he said directly: "Very good, take out your expertise, I will start hiring you now, I can give you three catties of rice a day, and you will have the opportunity to get a variety of non-staple foods every week, as long as you do a good job, there are other rewards, such as if you have a family member who can bring your family with you, they will also get the corresponding remuneration if they work." ”

Zeng Qiang's conditions were already very generous in terms of the gathering place, and the man's face was instantly full of surprise, his expression changed quickly, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.

Zeng Qiang looked at the man with a smile and waited for him to calm down.

"I wonder if I can ask you a favor?"

Zeng Qiang nodded and signaled, since he is a talent, as long as his request is not excessive, he can agree.

"I, I want you to ask you to bring these books with me, I don't want to throw them away, it's a pity."

Zeng Qiang agreed with a smile, the man's request was exactly what he wanted.

Zeng Qiang also stopped shopping, found two team members in the market, asked them to help pack the books, and then returned to the camp with the man.

In the camp, Zeng Qiang patted Zeng Degui on the shoulder and said: "Good luck today, I found a talent as soon as I visited the market, you go to the market to arrange a special talent recruitment office, to fully tap the talents in the gathering place, more than 100,000 people can always find some, you have to remember, if anyone says what kind of expert or professor they used to be, they must remember to screen carefully, and they can't let some people who are indiscriminate and full of numbers get in, and the nails of other forces can't be inserted in......"

Zeng Qiang babbled a lot, and Zeng Degui was stunned when he heard it.

"Yes, yes, Brother Qiang, I've written it down, do you think that's all for the time being?" Zeng Degui took out a notebook and wrote down what Zeng Qiang said word for word.

"Well, besides, you remember to let them go out to search for supplies and see if they can find a radio or something, after being away for so long, it's time to contact the 'hometown'."

It has been half a year since he came out of the coal mine base, and Zeng Qiang has begun to worry about the situation in the base.

In the middle of the night, a figure suddenly emerged from the water by the river, this is a man of forty or fifty years old, he climbed ashore, walked with a limp, if Zeng Qiang could recognize it here, this is the so-called 'dragon king' on the island in the river.

The place where the dragon king had come ashore was some distance from the camp, and his expression was gloomy, with a sneer on his face, and a strange sound coming out of his mouth.

As the voice in the dragon king's mouth sang for longer and longer, whirlpools began to appear on the originally calm river, more and more whirlpools, and a black shadow emerged from the whirlpool, which was the strange fish in the river.

"Bang!" A strange fish out of the water, more and more strange fish out of the water, the dragon king laughed, rode on the head of a larger strange fish, made a more high-pitched voice from his mouth, shook his hand, and led a group of strange fish towards the camp.

The movement along the river attracted the attention of the camp guards, but it was too dark, and there was a distance between them, so that it was impossible to see the situation for a while.

"Brother Qiang, it's not good, there are, there are strange fish!" Zeng Degui took the lead in rushing into Zeng Qiang's room to wake Zeng Qiang up.

"What a strange fish, you make it clear!" Zeng Qiang was very vigilant when he slept after the end of the world, and he woke up as soon as Zeng Degui came in.

"Yes, it's the strange fish in the river, they suddenly rushed up and came towards the camp." Zeng Degui hurriedly explained the situation clearly, a member of the team came to report just now, he didn't take it seriously, strange fish, it's not that he hasn't seen it, he still ate a lot today.

But when he climbed to the watchtower to look, he was taken aback, there were at least a dozen strange fish as far as his eye could see, and the camp did not have the experience of dealing with so many strange fish at once, so he panicked.

"Bang bang bang!" When Zeng Qiang came to the center of the camp, he saw chaos as many new women and children heard the gunshots and scurried around.

There was a child who fell and cried on the ground, and his parents ran away on their own, not caring about the child at all, and some adults ran past the child and almost stepped on the child.

At this time, a woman rushed to pick up the child first, Zeng Qiang knew this woman, it was the doctor named Su Mu.

"Zeng Degui, you organized manpower to maintain order, everyone was pulled to a safe place away from the river, and those who disobeyed discipline were killed! Whoever robs while the fire is on fire, kill! Whoever abandons his wife, kill! Zeng Qiangtie blushed and gave an order to Zeng Degui, who was following him.

"Yes!" Zeng Degui was frightened by Zeng Qiang's angry face, the three words 'kill' sounded bloody, and he immediately took a few team members to maintain order after receiving the order.

Zeng Qiang found Gu Tao at the wall near the river, "Tell me about the situation." ”

"Brother Qiang, that's the case, there are no less than twenty strange fish outside the wall now, and there seem to be a steady stream of them coming in the distance." While introducing the situation, Gu Tao commanded people to attack the strange fish in the distance.

The situation is not optimistic!
