In the end, this piece of land was not sold. Zhang Xiaoqiang ordered it to be distributed to all the poor people in the camp. Those who could farm, those who couldn't, could rent. The other forces in the camp knew that the camp was trying to buy people's hearts by doing this, but they didn't say much. On one hand, the convoy was busy clearing out the big black fish, which was also a worry for them. On the other hand, the poor people didn't have the ability to cultivate the land. The final right to use the land was still theirs, so they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves.
Seeing Zhang Huai An's lips trembling with excitement, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt slightly comforted. He shook his head and said, "Zhang Huai An, I'm not interested.
Zhang Xiaoqiang threw down these words lightly and sat on the wheelchair. He turned around and walked into the camp, leaving a confused Zhang Huai An to ponder.
Thinking of the warning look Huang Quan gave him, Zhang Huai An broke out in cold sweat. Suddenly, he remembered that he saw a figure hiding in the corner of his eyes. It was Meow. Obviously, Meow sold out Huang Quan and made Huang Quan put the blame on him.
Zhang Huai An fully supported Zhang Xiaoqiang. He even sold out Huang Quan. It should be known that Huang Quan had the nickname 'Cold Yama' among the team members.
"Right, Huang Quan is looking for the person who told Chen Ye about the thousand-pound fish. Don't tell me you don't know about it."
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't get angry, nor did he gloat. He was very pleased. Although Meow's tricks were immature, he could see that she had put in a lot of effort. A person who knew how to use his brain was a real talent.
"There are almost a hundred people, and only one of them has a gun. I don't think it's one of the three major forces. Maybe it's a small force that's so poor."
In this regard, Zhang Xiaoqiang also had no choice. The camp was almost at its limit, and he couldn't even afford to hire people to farm. After all, they were outsiders, and he couldn't be too ruthless, so he could only deal with it this way.
While the colony was recovering its vitality and developing, another problem found its way to Zhang Huai'an. The empty land by the lake, which no one had taken a liking to before, had become a treasure trove. Large pieces of land had yet to be reclaimed. Although the camp had been developed a little, the total area was barely more than half of it. Furthermore, the water table here was very shallow, so it was easy to dig wells, be it for drinking or irrigation.
Currently, the most popular thing in the camp was not the fish meat, but the seeds. These seeds were originally brought here by the caravan to trade, but now they had become treasures that could save the entire colony. The situation seemed to be very good.
Because of the development of farming, many of the poor had obtained jobs, and they were all busy working in the fields. It didn't matter if they were the executives of large companies or network engineers before the apocalypse, now they had a unified identity, farmers.
The development of farming narrowed the colony, and there was not enough land. Some shacks and houses were forcibly demolished, and the people inside received negligible compensation and slept in the fields. These people were not upset, as they had obtained a chance to survive. It was just that it was a small amount, and they could survive by helping others farm.
Zhang Xiaoqiang had not gone far, and Zhang Huai'an's mournful cries were naturally heard by him. The cause and effect of the Huang Quan incident was revealed. The cause was Meow's snitching, and the goal was to let Chen Ye teach Huang Quan a lesson, and then let Huang Quan teach Zhang Huai'an a lesson. Meow did this to take revenge on Zhang Huai'an for pulling his face off.
Hearing that there were close to a hundred people, Zhang Huai'an's expression changed. In the morning, someone had reported that there were many corpses outside the camp's walls. Other than a few who were killed by guns, the rest were mostly killed by cold weapons. This was originally a big matter, but because people were dying every day, this matter was left unsettled.
"Alright, let's do it that way. I will definitely make those guys tighten their belts. This is all Huang Quan's business. If Huang Quan doesn't do anything, I will tell Chen Ye that her husband brought her team members out to indulge in debauchery …"
Hearing that Zhang Xiaoqiang was kidnapped, Zhang Huai'an was furious. They had always been the ones bullying others, since when did others have the right to bully them?
Thinking of this, Zhang Huai'an became excited. The more powerful Zhang Xiaoqiang was, the more prestige he had, and the more the people under him would not dare to have any disloyal thoughts. Zhang Huai'an's position would also be more stable. If Zhang Xiaoqiang managed to snatch a boat and opened up a path from the base to Wuhan City, he might be able to slowly swallow the entire colony of more than a hundred thousand people. With a population and a territory, he would be able to gradually develop and become self-sufficient, becoming a paradise in the apocalypse.
The camp did not have any spare energy to develop anymore, so the factions in the colony all had their eyes on this piece of land. They all came to see if they could buy a piece of land to plant.
Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's words, Zhang Huai'an vaguely guessed that the people who died yesterday were killed by Zhang Xiaoqiang. At that time, Zhang Xiaoqiang had not shown him that he could walk freely. Zhang Huai'an believed that Zhang Xiaoqiang would not hide his recovery from him. In other words, Zhang Xiaoqiang had killed so many people while sitting in a wheelchair. Perhaps Zhang Xiaoqiang's recovery was because of that incident?
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly turned around and stared at Zhang Huai'an's eyes.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, who is it? Let's kill them."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang was stunned at first. He remembered the conflict between Huang Quan and Chen Ye. Could it be that the cause was this blabbermouth, Zhang Huai'an?
The development of the camp was finally on the right track. Vegetable sprouts were growing in the vegetable depressions. The women worked hard to take care of their hopes. Other than the vegetable fields, the camp also planted crops suitable for September. There were corn, soybeans, and even some paddy fields to plant paddy rice.
In order to plant these things, the camp recruited some farmers. The camp's actions gave the other factions in the colony hope. They all used the empty land to plant vegetables and grains. Inadvertently, the entire colony was covered in greenery.
"I was almost kidnapped yesterday. There are already people who have their eyes on us. How can we continue to slack off?
Pass down the order. From tomorrow onwards, no one is allowed to leave the camp. Tell Yomi that the training missions will be doubled. Also, the camp will adopt an elimination system. Any member who fails to pass the training will be demoted to a militia, and the first in the militia training will be promoted to an official member. I want to let them know that this is not a public institution. "
The camp was protected by walls. Zhang Xiaoqiang was not worried about the safety of the people. He was worried about the safety of the fields outside the camp. It was not just the fields and crops. It was hope. The hope of the hundred thousand people in the colony.
"If it wasn't me, then who told Chen Ye?
There weren't many people there at the time. "
"Meow … You little monkey, I will never forgive you …"
