When they arrived at the new temporary camp, they were only ten kilometers away from the camp's moat and walls. Zhang Xiaoqiang left Ding Luo's five hundred people behind and brought Zhao Deyi's group back to the camp. Yang Ke-er, with her identity as a beast tamer, stayed behind with the mutated water snake and the two puppies. This time, Mu Peipei was also free, so she was driven back to the camp by Zhang Xiaoqiang to rest.
When they left, Zhang Xiaoqiang told Ding Luo to leave behind all the ammunition for the returning soldiers. He also went to visit the three mutated beasts. When he arrived, Zhang Xiaoqiang discovered that the mutated water snake had indigestion and was listlessly lying on the ground, groaning. It seemed that Zhang Xiaoqiang had starved the mutated water snake for too long. Today, it had eaten four D2 zombies in a row. Its waist had swelled from a large water bucket to a large water tank. The snake was thin on both ends and thick in the middle, making it look like a spindle.
The two mutated dogs were abnormally lively, running and jumping around the mutated water snake's body. From time to time, they would lie on the mutated water snake's belly and use their small claws to scratch the mutated water snake's belly. When they saw Zhang Xiaoqiang, they jumped down together and ran to Zhang Xiaoqiang's feet, wagging their tails in joy. The two puppies were very smart and knew who was the head of the family. Although Zhang Xiaoqiang was usually too lazy to pay attention to them, in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang, they were even more affectionate than Yang Ke-er and the others.
Seeing the three mutated beasts, Zhang Xiaoqiang's stiff face slightly relaxed. He squatted down and stroked the two puppies. The two puppies had never been touched by Zhang Xiaoqiang before. They excitedly turned their bellies up and let Zhang Xiaoqiang tickle their bellies. Seeing the two puppies' bulging bellies, Zhang Xiaoqiang confirmed what he already knew. No matter what kind of mutated beast it was, it ate zombies.
After crossing the river and descending to the wall, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw more than ten excavators digging about fifty meters behind the wall. The excavated earth was piled up on one side. Not far from the construction vehicles, countless people were using all kinds of tools to pile up the excavated earth behind the wall. It was obvious that Shen Xue was preparing to use the original wall to build a new wall.
The earth that was transferred to the wall was spread out around the wall. Not long after, soil was spread out over a hundred meters of land. Then, a bulldozer began to crush the soil. Behind the bulldozer, there were other heavy vehicles that continued to crush the soil. Zhang Huai'an was spending so much manpower and resources to build a new wall in the shortest amount of time.
The land behind the wall was farmland that was previously cultivated by the colony. Most of the farmland was about to be harvested, but now there were all kinds of construction vehicles that left crisscrossed tracks on the ground. The people who were watching from afar were angry but did not dare to say anything.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang returned to the colony, it was the morning of the second day. In other words, Zhang Xiaoqiang had been out for a day and two nights. During this day and two nights, other than setting fire to countless zombies, there was also a big event that happened in the colony, an earth-shattering event ….
The day before the event, before Zhang Xiaoqiang had set fire to the zombies, Huang Quan had successfully completed his mission. He had brought three boats of firearms back to the riverside pier. The moment the boats docked, Huang Quan went down to the pier. He did not see Zhang Xiaoqiang, but Zhang Huai'an who was smiling in front of him. Huang Quan would not purposely ask about Zhang Xiaoqiang's whereabouts, so he handed it over to Zhang Huai'an.
"This time, we have collected around 8000 rifles, 1000 boxes of rifle bullets, 500 boxes of machine gun bullets, and 300 boxes of mortar shells. Among them, there are 50 boxes of 120 mm mortar shells, a total of 200.
The boats have limited capacity, so we left two-thirds of the firearms on the other side of the river. Currently, only one-third of the firearms have been transported back. Officer Zhang, please send a boat to transport the rest back. "
The smile on Zhang Huai'an's face turned into a pleasant surprise. This time, the main goal was the rifles, followed by the bullets. 1000 boxes of bullets meant that the camp's reserves had increased by 1.5 million rounds. Although most of the bullets were left on the other side of the river, as long as the boats came back, it would only take a few hours for them to be transported back. The most important thing was that Huang Quan could continue to bring people to steal. Although it was risky, it was not as risky as before.
"Very good, hurry up and go rest. Leave the unloading to me. This time, a lot of ammunition has been transported, right?
Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaoqiang ordered me to send some ammunition to Liu Zhenghua, so I asked someone to deliver it …. "
Zhang Huai'an did not expect that sending ammunition to Liu Zhenghua this time would cause such an uproar, causing the situation of the entire colony to change drastically.
Three military vehicles were sent to deliver 300,000 rounds of ammunition to Liu Zhenghua's territory. When Liu Zhenghua found out that the camp had unconditionally given him 300,000 rounds of ammunition, he was very surprised. Although he did not understand, it did not stop him from enthusiastically receiving the delivery. Everything else was fake, but the bullets were real. Every box of ammunition was opened and inspected before entering the warehouse.
It was originally just a routine inspection, but the scene in front of the ammunition warehouse had all fallen into Qian Kaixi's eyes. After receiving the report from the eyes, Qian Kaixi was depressed. The camp would not give Liu Zhenghua 200 boxes of bullets for no reason. 200 boxes of bullets had increased Liu Zhenghua's confidence by several times. Coupled with the 10 anti-aircraft machine guns and 20,000 rounds of machine gun bullets that were given to Liu Zhenghua previously, the armed police force had completely surpassed the police force.
This was a considerable blow to Qian Kaixi. Liu Zhenghua had accepted gifts from the camp time and time again, which made him suspect that Liu Zhenghua had already reached an agreement with the camp. The camp was drooling over the colony, and as a local with a strong sense of nostalgia, Qian Kaixi had a certain degree of enmity towards both the camp and Liu Zhenghua.
In the past, it could not be helped. Food was scarce, and there would not be a tomorrow for the colony after today. Now that the crops were growing well and the harvest was imminent, there was more and more hope for life. Qian Kaixi's heart was alive again. If one were to ask who was most familiar with the area, as a local, he was naturally the most familiar. Once the pressure of food was gone, what he thought the most was to control the colony in his own hands.
Why was the camp so powerful? Wasn't it because the camp had powerful firepower and weapons? Coincidentally, there were regular troops stationed around Wuhan City. Although Qian Kaixi did not know where all the troops were stationed, he knew the transfer point of a military warehouse. As an important unit of the army, the Wuhan police had once assisted the army in rectifying the security of that area. Through a few words, he knew the exact location of that place.
With food and guns, all that was lacking was people. With people, the colony would be as stable as Mount Tai, and he would be able to slowly recover the island in the middle of the lake, fighting for the largest living space for the locals of Wuhan City. It would also allow him, Qian Kaixi, to obtain a foundation.
However, all of these wishful thinking could only be carried out after the camp left. The camp was an evil tiger in the colony. In the beginning, when the camp entered the colony, it was because the local forces had already lost all hope. They did not care about anything, and did not care what kind of storm the camp, as an outsider, would stir up in the colony. At the very most, everyone would starve to death together. After that, the camp repeatedly provoked the nerves of the colony, and just when all the forces could not hold back and wanted to fight to the death with the camp, the camp once again gave all the forces a delicious feast. Then, they continuously placed all kinds of benefits in front of the colony, and in the end, the hearts of the people in the colony leaned towards the camp, truly achieving the goal of subduing the enemy without a fight.
Originally, he thought that everything would be swallowed up by the camp, but soon after, the camp revealed its intention to leave. Qian Kaixi suddenly realized that the opportunity he had been looking forward to for a long time had appeared, and Liu Zhenghua, who also felt threatened, sent troops to retrieve the armory. Losing close to eighty percent of the colony's armed forces and most of their weapons and ammunition, gave Qian Kaixi the chance to stand up to Liu Zhenghua as an equal.
