After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoqiang still could not understand. Currency was too complicated, and it was not something that a non-financial person like him could understand. He wanted to ask someone who knew about it, but he was afraid that he would not understand. For the sake of his pride, Zhang Xiaoqiang decided to use all three. The colloid was the biggest guarantee of currency. This thing was very important to evolved humans. With this thing, the ability of evolved humans would multiply. Evolved humans were the group of people who had the easiest access to resources and money. If they had a lot of money but had nowhere to spend it, they would inevitably cause a lot of trouble. Using the colloid would be enough to squeeze them dry.
As for the JS matrix, Zhang Xiaoqiang finally decided to release it. For the soldiers who had become evolved humans due to infection, they could stay in the army to accumulate merits. They could only retire after accumulating a certain amount of merits, or they could redeem themselves. As for the survivors who wanted to become evolved humans, they either had to accumulate a lot of wealth to buy the JS matrix, or they could become hunters to search for resources. This way, most of the resources could be gathered in the hands of the Huaxia Renaissance. These resources could be used to carry out the projects and government affairs that they needed. They could provide education for children, nutrition for pregnant women, and subsidies for those who could not support themselves. This was almost a universal welfare.
This way, the enthusiasm of the survivors and evolved humans would be aroused, and they would continue to explore the outside world to provide nutrients for the Huaxia Renaissance. At the same time, it would eliminate the low efficiency and high consumption of the public economy. It would also pay the bounty for ordinary people to hunt zombies and the military expenses of running the army. After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoqiang could not find any problems, at least not until the zombies had been killed and most of the world had not been explored.
Finally, the diamonds would be used as the proof of the large amount of currency. After all, the base could not use up a lot of paper and manpower to print too much currency. Diamonds could be used as large amounts of banknotes. The Huaxia Renaissance would unify the specifications and quality, and put a special label on it to form an independent system. Even if diamonds from the outside came in, they could only be used as ordinary valuables. They could not be used to exchange for large amounts of resources.
After Zhang Xiao Qiang racked his brains and pulled out countless strands of hair, the revival of China's currency system came out. Zhang Xiao Qiang had always been tyrannical and arbitrary, as long as he gave an order, unless there was a huge mistake, no one would object. The few cities in Yinmeng and the base in Hubei began to operate at the same time. After continuously announcing the establishment of the Hunter United Front Department and the currency system, Zhao Deyi brought his 3000 elites to the base and used the transport fleet to transport 3 million rounds of ammunition and 3000 bottles of Source Erosion to begin the encirclement and annihilation of the zombies in De An County. The moment the encirclement and annihilation officially began, Zhang Xiao Qiang received a request from a familiar person.
Wen Wen no longer had the appearance of a young master from the gathering place. He had become much more down-to-earth. His appearance was still as handsome as before, but there was more firmness and determination. His eyes were no longer illusory, and when he looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang, his eyes shone brightly. Behind Wen Wen stood seven evolvers. Some were old subordinates that had followed Wen Wen from the gathering place, and some were evolvers that had been found among the survivors of the gathering place.
Looking at Wen Wen and the people behind him, Zhang Xiaoqiang tilted his head and sized them up. To be honest, Zhang Xiaoqiang had completely forgotten about Wen Wen. The entire population of the gathering place had been cleanly digested by him. Wen Wen, the only remaining member of the previous triumvirate, only had 800 militiamen under him. These people had been settled in a few villages in the mountains to open up wastelands and farm. It was considered Wen Wen's private land as the leader. In the end, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not treat Wen Wen as his subordinate.
Wen Wen stared at Zhang Xiaoqiang in front of him, and his eyelids twitched slightly. All this time, he had been troubled by the fact that after Big Bear failed to assassinate Zhang Xiaoqiang, he had yielded to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Ever since he was young, he had never lowered his head. The only exception was Zhang Xiaoqiang. To him, it was the biggest humiliation in his life. That was why he had been thinking of leaving, of forming an evolver organization and becoming a new tribe.
However, all these thoughts turned to dust the moment he saw Zhang Xiaoqiang. Speaking of evolvers, Zhang Xiaoqiang had more than a few hundred people under his command. Speaking of the population, it was close to two million people, and he had at least three large cities. Zhang Xiaoqiang's power was still expanding and developing. When Wuhan was conquered, he had completely understood that he would never be able to catch up to Zhang Xiaoqiang in this lifetime. Zhang Xiaoqiang was no longer his goal, but the pinnacle that he could only look up to.
"You want to be a hunter?
Why?
Those who become hunters in the future are all grassroots. They are adventurers who want to make a fortune. As a force with eight hundred people and three villages, you don't need to earn that little money, do you? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not know if Wen Wen was here for the JS substrate, but if Wen Wen really wanted it, he would provide some. There were not many, only twenty. Even if there were only twenty, it would take two to three years for Wen Wen to kill zombies. As for Wen Wen, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not dislike him. At least, Wen Wen had fought side by side with him on the most desperate battlefield. This made Zhang Xiaoqiang, who liked to remember old times, feel grateful.
"I'm not here for the JS substrate, that thing is useless to me. It's a waste of life to hole up on the mountain and watch the clouds rise and fall. I haven't reached the age of retirement yet. In the past, I thought of leaving, but now I understand. No matter where I run, you will chase after me. In this case, I might as well do what I want to do within your sphere of influence …"
Speaking till here, Wen Wen felt wronged. He had always thought of leaving the cockroach base and opening up a new situation outside. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang's claws were always bigger than his. To the north was Yin Meng, to the south was Jiangxi and Sichuan. Other places might be the next step for Zhang Xiaoqiang's development. It seemed that no matter how big the world was, there was no place for him to settle down.
After Wen Wen finished speaking, he waited for Zhang Xiaoqiang to nod. Zhang Xiaoqiang muttered to himself, then suddenly said:
"New Era attacking the airport was your reminder to Huang Quan, right?"
"No …"
Wen Wen subconsciously denied it. Under Zhang Xiaoqiang's pressuring gaze, he lowered his head. His heart was filled with apprehension. Reporting to Huang Quan in advance not only did he not get any credit, but on the contrary, it would make them suspect that he was already in contact with New Era. Furthermore, he was indeed controlled by New Era. If it wasn't for New Era wanting to give him some face, he might have already been killed by them. No matter what, this was a troublesome matter. However, he didn't expect that Huang Quan had already guessed that it was him. Apart from him, the entire base was under the management of Zhang Huai'an, so it was impossible to hide a small army of more than a hundred people. "Forget it, I don't want to talk about the past.
"Forget it, I don't want to talk about the past. How about this, you have heard about Three's matter, he built a base at Poyang Lake. This is good, not only can he gather survivors, he can also provide Hubei with fish, prawns, and other things. You can bring your men to the west, where we don't have any plans to develop. You can bring your men to kill zombies, search for resources, and gather survivors. I don't care how you do it, as long as you find people, resources, and machinery, I will buy them all. I will pay with equipment and ammo.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's idea was considered to be a very good condition. He took back the three villages under Wen Wen, but gave Wen Wen the opportunity to build an army. After taking back Wuhan, Hubei had the ability to produce bullets. Wen Wen would then kill the scattered zombies in places that the army couldn't reach, gathering survivors, and getting what they needed.
"Mercenaries?"
Wen Wen said these three words immediately, and Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded. Mercenaries were not wrong. They would give money, and Wen Wen would help them carry out tasks that the army couldn't do. Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqiang admitted that they were mercenaries, the people behind Wen Wen were happy. Zhang Xiaoqiang's conditions were really good. According to this calculation, they had more than 800 men with experience, and more than 100 rifles. Plus, they had seven evolutionaries, so they were a strong army. They could deal with less than 10,000 zombies without a problem.
"I will give you a batch of weapons and ammunition on credit, and 800 pieces of armor. In addition, I will give you 3,000 sets of cold weapons at half price. Other than that, I will give you 20 sets of rope guns and rocket launchers, but you will have to buy the rocket launchers yourself. Also, I can give you some corrosive sources, but it won't be cheap..."
Zhang Xiaoqiang's last offer made Wen Wen's heart tremble. Zhang Xiaoqiang's offer was not small. 3,000 sets of cold weapons meant that they could recruit 3,000 mercenaries, and 800 pieces of armor meant that they could equip his current men. With his intelligence, he could guess that Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted his mercenaries to be limited to 3,800 people. This was Zhang Xiaoqiang's bottom line, and with 3,800 people, he could do a lot of things.
"I can't guarantee anything. I'd be an idiot if I didn't agree to such a good offer. I can swear right here and now that the mercenaries will never point their guns at you. If you and your future leaders need the mercenaries to join the battle, the mercenaries will be a part of the Huafa Renaissance Army …"
Wen Wen used his oath to set a tradition for the future of the mercenaries. Zhang Xiao Qiang could not deny it. China was too big, and there would always be places for them to explore. Even if they finished searching within China's borders, there were still the surrounding countries and regions for them to plunder and explore. In this post-apocalyptic world where the cards were being reshuffled, national boundaries were just like the tombstones of the previous world.
