Wan Qiang heard a loud shout from behind him. Wan Qiang turned around and glared at Elder Bear and the others. He didn't care about the rifles pointed at him. His eyes were filled with provocation. Right now, he wasn't afraid of anyone.
"Did you rob them and leave nothing behind?"
Wan Qiang was puzzled. What?
Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they did not need to use this excuse. They just randomly pushed out a few naked men and accused him of robbing them?
Did they not know that they were not to be trifled with?
Wan Qiang was just about to lose his temper and knock out the people in front of him when he saw three naked men glaring at him angrily. Two of them had large bruises on their necks, and the other one had half of his face swollen. His eyes were squeezed by his swollen cheeks to the point that they could barely be seen.
He suddenly remembered that he had robbed three people before, two boxes of food and a bottle of wine. Thinking of the wine, his saliva almost flowed out. He had an impression of these three men, but it was not deep. If they wore clothes, he might be able to recognize them, but now, he really could not recognize them.
"I only robbed their food, and I did not touch anything else. They also shot me, so we are even. Don't think of asking me to compensate you, I have nothing to compensate you with."
Wan Qiang spoke with the slyness of an honest man. He did not say that he had approached them despite their warning, but said that they had shot him, and that he had robbed them of their food. He did not touch anything else.
Boss Bear squinted his eyes. He knew that Wan Qiang was an evolved person, and not an ordinary one at that. He was not afraid of guns, and from the looks of it, Wan Qiang had just escaped from a sea of fire, so he did not seem to be afraid of fire.
Wan Qiang reminded him of another evolved person who was similar to him, the nightmare of the gathering place. In the end, they had to use the Red Arrow 8 anti-tank missiles to kill him. This kind of evolved person was the strongest. Be it Mu Peipei or Wen Wen, they could not do anything to him.
First, he probed Wan Qiang, but Wan Qiang actually gave up his greatest advantage to reason with him.
From the looks of it, Wan Qiang had not realized that only the camp had the means to deal with him. No one else could do anything to him, not even the top faction. Boss Bear was tempted.
"No matter how you look at it, this is your fault.
If you want to eat, just say it. Why did you have to knock them out?
Now that the three rifles are missing, do you know how much a rifle is worth now? "
Big Bear retracted his domineering attitude and started to reason things out with Wan Qiang. Wan Qiang was speechless and wanted to get angry, but he realized that he was in the wrong.
"At most, I'll compensate you. The guy I just killed, there are some rifles at the campsite. You can go and pick them up yourself. I'm leaving …"
After Wan Qiang finished speaking, he turned around. In his heart, he was still thinking. If they really wanted him to accompany them, he would rob them again.
"Do you want food?"
Elder Bear's words fell into Wan Qiang's ears, but he pretended not to hear it and continued walking forward. Elder Bear was not in a hurry and watched him leave. After three or five steps, Wan Qiang stopped. He thought of the food he had burned in the storeroom. Although he had eaten a portion, compared to the mountain of food that could bury him, it was just a drop in the ocean.
He did not want to work for anyone. Anyway, he had eaten his fill today and fulfilled one of his wishes. He would not starve to death, so he could go back and continue to hide.
This was for his own sake. After thinking for himself, he felt that it was a pity for the food he had burned. With so much food, how many meals could he feed his fellow villagers? His fellow villagers were still starving, but he had eaten his fill. Eating alone made him feel uncomfortable. He was not a selfish person, and he hoped that others could live well too.
The opportunity to obtain food was right in front of him, but it made him hesitate. Should he listen or not? Perhaps …
"How much food can you give me?"
Wan Qiang liked to be straightforward and asked immediately. Elder Bear's worried heart relaxed. He nodded and said,
"How much do you want?"
Hearing Elder Bear's tone, Wan Qiang did not believe it at first. He did not dare to believe that someone would be so generous. What was food?
It was life. Who would not care about food that could save their lives?
"A bag of one hundred catties. I want a thousand bags. Can you take that out?"
Wan Qiang casually said. The concept of a thousand bags of food was an amount that his fellow villagers could eat for a long time. Of course, he was just saying it casually. In his heart, he hated working for people who were inferior to him. Right now, this group of people were just bugs in his eyes.
"Deal …"
Elder Bear's lips touched as he spoke first. He wanted to seal the deal. He could see that although Wan Qiang appeared to be cunning, he was still a little inexperienced.
"What do you want me to do?
I can be a hired thug, but you have to be able to beat me. You can't even beat me, and you want me to follow behind your butt and be a door god?
I don't want to do it … "
Wan Qiang was not an idiot. Elder Bear caught his words, so he also made a new request. It seemed like a ridiculous request, but it was reasonable.
Elder Bear muttered to himself. Wan Qiang smiled at Elder Bear. He felt his face itch and casually wiped it. The black dead skin fell off, revealing the new skin underneath. Following that, he felt uncomfortable on his chest. His two claws scratched at his chest. The dead skin that had formed scabs also fell off, and new skin grew in the place where the muscles used to be. It was a little tender and pink.
"Forget it. Seeing that you can't beat me, I'll go back and take a bath …"
Wan Qiang felt his whole body itch. He did not want to waste time here. He wanted to go back to his nest and take a bath. He was still thinking, when was the last time he took a bath?
"Wait … Can I ask you to do something for me?
I'll give you fifty tons of food each time … "
As soon as Elder Bear said that, Wang Qiang squatted on the ground and used his index finger to draw on the ground. After a while, he stood up and shouted at Elder Bear, "A thousand bags is a thousand bags. Why must you say fifty tons? Don't you know that I don't have a calculator on me?"
Elder Bear and the people around him were speechless.
"What's the matter? I won't kill anyone. As long as they don't provoke me, I won't kill anyone. I can consider moving the things, but the rest can be discussed slowly."
Wan Qiang did not make a firm promise and kept the price for bargaining.
"I don't want you to kill anyone. I just want you to knock them out …"
A small faction in the colony disappeared. It did not affect anyone. The only one who was really unhappy was Sun Kefu. He scolded the middle-aged man, Xiao Jing, for being stupid and messing things up for a man. Where was he going to find someone to stand up for him?
The others went about their own lives. These days, Zhang Xiaoqiang spent his days in the shipyard. The shipyard had changed. All kinds of buildings had been erected, and all kinds of maintenance and modification tools were in place. A medium-sized speedboat was hoisted onto the dock, and hundreds of people surrounded the speedboat to repair and modify it.
Zhang Xiaoqiang stayed there not to supervise but to avoid the summer heat. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. The camp was surrounded by tall walls, and the wind from the lake could not blow in. Although his house had air-conditioning, the camp was too hot. This kind of stuffy heat made Zhang Xiaoqiang very uncomfortable. He did not want to stay in the house all day, so he thought that the river seemed like a good place.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang brought his family to settle down by the lake, the feeling was completely different. There was a gentle breeze, and the cool natural wind brought with it a moist mist. It was the most suitable place to take a nap under a sun umbrella. Here, Yuan Yi went to study her cooking and tailoring skills as usual. The current Yuan Yi was like a completely different person from the young lady from before.
She did not have the domineering attitude of a strong career woman. She became tactful. These days, she was obsessed with making clothes for Zhang Xiaoqiang. Although Zhang Xiaoqiang usually wore a military uniform, it did not hinder her enthusiasm. Every time before Zhang Xiaoqiang was intimate with her, she would always put the strangely shaped clothes she made on Zhang Xiaoqiang. To put it nicely, it was to try it on.
Zhang Xiaoqiang wore the clothes that were loose in the places that should be tight and loose in the places that should be tight in front of Yuan Yi. The first person who could not help but laugh was Yuan Yi himself. Often, he was anxious to get Zhang Xiaoqiang to take it off, but Zhang Xiaoqiang threatened him with all kinds of embarrassing conditions. Every time this happened, Yuan Yi would always follow Zhang Xiaoqiang's wishes.
