Just as he was in a dilemma, a soft voice entered his ears. A coquettish, nasal voice kissed his ear, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body. Although there was no man who didn't like this, he had suffered enough from women. His family was a complete mess, and he had no choice but to leave early. If he casually showed mercy outside, what if in the future?
He suddenly got up and looked up to see that there was only one girl left beside him. He had never seen this girl before. She was wearing a bright red silk tube top with a delicate and beautiful peony embroidered on her chest. It complemented the blush on her white face. The girl was very beautiful. Jiaojiao's timid appearance was lovable. Under Zhang Xiaoqiang's burning gaze, she shyly lowered her head. Her beautiful black hair brushed past her ears and hung in front of her eyes, adding a bit of charm.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's mind turned and he understood who this girl was. Previously, she had been framed by Xu Manna and was locked in the cellar to wait for her life to be exhausted. Now that she had been released by Zhang Xiaoqiang, she was arranged to serve him, and it was an all-around service. To be honest, this girl was indeed very beautiful. She was no less beautiful than Zhuo Mingyue's four maids. Especially the desire to speak in her clear eyes, which would make any normal man want to turn into a werewolf and pinch her.
"I'm Maner, I …"
Her clear and gentle voice was like a nightingale singing at night. Her thick nasal voice was naturally charming, but when it reached Zhang Xiaoqiang's ears, it made his heart flutter. This was a woman who was as gentle as water. She didn't look very old, but her eyes were strong and wise. Her eyebrows were clear and her eyes were gentle. Her red lips were slightly moist, as if exuding a fragrance. Also, her slender snow-white body, as well as her plump and delicate legs, were not thick nor thin, which perfectly displayed a different kind of elegance.
Facing Maner, Zhang Xiaoqiang used all his willpower and determination to suppress the desire in his heart. Speaking of Shanghai Qiaoyun, she was not any less than Maner. During this time, he had also enjoyed a lot of gentleness, so in some aspects, he was not very anxious. He smiled, waved his hand at Maner, and said, "From now on, you will serve my daily life. You don't have to worry about anything else. Although you are indeed very beautiful, you are still a bit young …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's refusal made the anxious Maner feel relieved. Speaking of these things, she was also very afraid of these things. She was also afraid that if she did not do well, it would make Zhang Xiaoqiang angry. She, who had just escaped from death, did not dare to refute any of Zhang Xiaoqiang's decisions. She gently nodded, stood up and took the military uniform and leather armor for Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang had been taking a bath here for almost two hours. Someone had already quickly washed his clothes from the inside to the outside. After putting on the neatly ironed military uniform, Zhang Xiaoqiang's whole body was immersed in a kind of soft comfort. The tiredness of these days had completely disappeared after the hot bath.
When he walked out of the bathroom, the dining room had already prepared dinner. The ingredients were not very fresh, but they were very exquisite. There were all kinds of dried seafood, unknown vegetables, and pure ruby-like red wine. Of course, living off the water, there were also many aquatic products in the Yangtze River. What impressed Zhang Xiaoqiang the most was the crystal shrimp meat that was made into sashimi. When he saw that thing, he immediately thought of the black shrimp that devoured zombies in the river, and suddenly lost his appetite.
Three girls dressed in gorgeous lace maid outfits stood by his side, their eyes scanning his every move, ready to help him at any time. The amount of food on the table was enough for 10 people to have a full meal. Zhang Xiao Qiang eating alone was too extravagant. Furthermore, he did not have the habit of others watching him eat. He waved to the girls and said, "All of you, come over and eat, I can't finish it all by myself. Also, don't give me seafood in the future. Also, control the portion, make sure it's enough for 4 people …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's gentleness and tolerance was beyond the three girls' expectation. They looked at each other and could not help but grab the small aprons around their lower abdomens. They were very nervous. They did not know what kind of person Zhang Xiaoqiang was, but they knew that most of the evolutionaries in Shanghai were irritable. There were many evolutionaries who liked to play with people's hearts. After giving hope, they would use the most brutal means to take it away, and with the evilest smile, they would look at the people who were playing with their hands crying in despair.
"Didn't you hear what I said?"
Zhang Xiao Qiang frowned, and raised his voice, causing the 3 girls to look like frightened birds, as they hurried over to the table and sat down. The entire meal was tasteless to Zhang Xiao Qiang, and the girls did not dare to eat to their heart's content. They were extremely careful, as though they were mice that had met a cat. In the end, Zhang Xiao Qiang had already finished eating, and they had not even finished the sashimi in their bowls. It seemed like they were not eating, but licking.
"I'm going out for a walk. You guys continue to eat, don't worry about me..."
Zhang Xiaoqiang stood up and pushed the solid wood chair away. The three girls were nervous and wanted to stand up, but he stopped them. Looking at the girls who were like puppets, he was so depressed that he wanted to drive them out and leave himself alone. He turned around and walked out of the dining room to the living room. He saw Mo Shaoyun standing at the door with a folder in his hand. It seemed that he was waiting for Zhang Xiaoqiang to report to him.
"The evolutionary that you killed was a little famous in this area. He did not have any background. Many big forces were trying to rope him in. I heard that this guy did not want to get involved with anyone. He liked to live a simple life behind closed doors. He had the nickname of Iron Head Overlord..."
Hearing this nickname, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly felt that it was funny. The nickname "Overlord" was used for the turtle on the dining table. The turtle was also called Wang Ba. This nickname was not very good, but when combined, it became Iron Head Wang Ba. Mo Shaoyun was good at analyzing and summarizing.
Mo Shaoyun was good at analyzing and summarizing. He was also quite familiar with the internal affairs of a city. In just two or three sentences, he had almost explained the situation of the surrounding area. This area was not part of the downtown area of Shanghai. To be precise, it was the surrounding area. Shanghai had developed so fast that some villages and towns had been incorporated into the city system. The surrounding area of this residential area was expanded from the small towns. It was not all buildings here. There were some open spaces and large tracts of fertile farmland. Compared to the city center, this area was a barren wasteland. The forces here were not strong, and the population was not large either. In total, there were less than ten thousand people. If it was not for the fact that Tie Tou had no ambition and was content with a small fortune, he would have become the leader of an upper-middle class force in the city center. That was a powerful force with more than a thousand armed men.
Zhang Xiaoqiang also learned more about Shanghai from Mo Shaoyun. The survivors in Shanghai were divided into several parts. The first part was the civilians who were moved into the underground air-raid shelters when the virus broke out. Their numbers were the largest, and so far, no one knew how many air-raid shelters had been used. The second part was the country's key research centers in Shanghai. Some of them had been discovered, and some had not. In general, these research centers were treasures, and if any of them were discovered, it would lead to a fight between the evolutionaries. The third part was the survivors in the wild. Most of them were evolutionaries, and they were the ones who built the pyramid. They had been killing for a long time, and they had almost lost their humanity. Staying alive was akin to harming others, and they were a cancer to the revival of civilization. Some of these people had survived like rats in the sewers, while others were struggling in the wild. Of course, Shanghai also had a dense water network, and there were many lakes. Many people were hiding in the middle of the lakes, and they would only come ashore when the zombies retreated.
In the past, when Zhang Xiaoqiang passed by Shanghai, he believed that most of the forces knew about it, but the city did not send out any signals, which proved that these evolutionaries were local tyrants. They did not want to be known by the outside world, and they only wanted the whole of Shanghai as their private property. In Zhang Xiaoqiang's mind, this situation could no longer be called selfish, but a heinous crime. So many resources and people were just to satisfy their selfish desires. Compared to them, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that he was a selfless living Lei Feng.
"The population of your subordinates has reached 560 people. We do not lack daily necessities, but we are short on food. I went to the granary, and most of the food has gone moldy. If ordinary people eat it, their physical fitness will drop a lot. There are not many intact food, and it is mainly for you and your maids. The armed forces eat the food that has not gone bad, and the rest …"
"From today onwards, no one is allowed to eat the food that has gone bad. See if those things can be turned into fodder. In addition, increase the fishing effort in the Yangtze River, and try to ensure the daily supply of the civilians. If there is no food, they will eat fish. Also, organize all the men into construction teams, and let them dig ponds along the Yangtze River.
