Time Travel: I am a Warlord in Doomsday America

Zhang Qiang smiled and took the knife and fork handed to him by Maggie and took a piece of the pie. He forked the baked pie and said:

“There’s an old saying in my hometown: It’s better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Hershel, even if you are willing to give me food for free, how long can this last?

Why don’t we talk about cooperation and support each other.”

Hershel crossed his hands and sighed. This was not the first time Zhang Qiang had said this. He was very skeptical about Zhang Qiang's ideas about the farm.

But after what happened to Alan and Otis, Hershel could no longer refuse Zhang Qiang. In other words, the Green family owed Zhang Qiang a huge favor.

"Tell me, I also want to know what you think about the farm."

Herschel believes that Zhang Qiang's true colors are revealed.

Zhang Qiang laughed again, and shook his head.

"I don't think as much about the farm as I do about your family. Mr. Hershel, do you think there will be many people left alive out there?"

Zhang Qiang raised a question.

Hershel did not hesitate. He still had the compassionate mentality of God bless them and said, "I hope they are not affected by the plague."

Zhang Qiang hummed indifferently. Hershel was still unwilling to accept the reality that the zombies were dead.

“If there are a lot of people alive, but the supply and demand system in society collapses and people can’t get food, do you think they can still survive?

If everyone in my school has been starving for a long time and we discover your farm, what do you think we would do?

People who are chronically hungry and have guns, will they beg from the farms, or steal or rob? Or simply turn the farms into their own granaries?

Zhang Qiang's words made Hershel sit up straight. The old man was already thinking of the traditions of the United States.

Religion and festivals, no amount of cultural embellishment can cover up the fact that the American people made their fortune by occupying the Indians' territory and resources. They themselves are the descendants of a group of bandits.

"Oh… God…"

Hershel prayed softly. After the disaster, he had never thought about future changes because he always had faith in the government.

Later, Rick's team arrived and told Hershel what happened at the CDC. Although Hershel was skeptical, he had actually been shaken.

"What do you want to say? Do you think you can take the farm from us?!"

Maggie had been standing in the kitchen, eavesdropping openly. She raised her eyebrows and questioned Zhang Qiang angrily.

Hershel immediately taught his eldest daughter a lesson, patting the table and saying:

"Maggie, Zhang definitely didn't mean that. Stop interrupting me! Zhang, please continue."

Zhang Qiang glanced at Maggie unnoticeably. This woman had the talent to become a leader. In fact, Zhang Qiang had already made up his mind. If the negotiations failed, he would frequently squeeze the help of the farm and finally seize this place by force.

As for whether the protagonists of the original drama will die under his gun, I'm sorry, Zhang Qiang is no longer a simple fan of the drama four years ago.

"No, I said, I value your family more."

Zhang Qiang's eyes sparkled, and he pretended to be eager:

“Mr. Hershel, have you ever thought that after the disaster, many people suffered misfortune, and many people were lucky enough to survive.

Everyone has a natural mission. I think the survivors should not live their lives on their own, so I occupied the school to receive the survivors and give them a place to stay.

Now we are having trouble with food... You know what a coincidence, there happens to be a large farm in Gran Town, and the family that is good at running this wonderful, large resource-producing area is also alive!!

I'm not a believer, but I think if God really exists, this should be the best coincidence he could arrange.

Mr. Hershel, I need your family, the school needs your family, and more people need the Green family!!

Your planting experience, your resource output capacity, our great number of workers, and our security capabilities can definitely help and support each other!!!

……

So, do you understand what I mean, Mr. Hershel?"

Zhang Qiang said a lot of things, even talking about God's arrangement, but Hershel didn't feel any disgust at all. Trust was the most important thing in a conversation between the two parties.

Zhang Qiang's actions and his confession finally dispelled the last bit of doubt in Hershel's heart.

This is what Zhang Qiang thinks about the farm. No wonder he is saving more people and taking in more homeless people.

If Zhang Qiang is practicing his mission theory, then Otis and Alan's return home is God's arrangement! Everything has its own will!!

"Zhang, I don't know what to say. Every time you shock me, it causes too much stress to my heart."

Hershel looked at Zhang Qiang in shock, subconsciously covering his chest.

Zhang Qiang's expression returned to calm from eagerness. When it came to acting skills, no one in his high school drama troupe was better than him.

Zhang Qiang sighed, he turned his body to look out the window, letting the sunlight shine on his face. At this moment, he was calm but a little lonely, like a person who had never been understood by others and finally spoke his true feelings.

"It's just an idea of ​​mine, you can treat it as nonsense, Mr. Hershel."

"No!! Principal, you are not talking nonsense!"

Alan, who was sitting next to Zhang Qiang, suddenly pounced on Zhang Qiang, hugged Zhang Qiang with her petite body, and looked at him with excitement and admiration.

“When the principal first came to school, I knew he was here to save me!

The principal was very strict with everyone. He wanted everyone to adapt to the environment, right? At that time, we were not living well. It was the principal who gave everyone the little food and water as soon as he arrived.

I...I will never forget the principal's..."

Alan's face was red, which was very different from his usual indifferent look.

Zhang Qiang was successfully distracted by Alan's act. He stared at Alan in his arms with wide eyes, and then saw the surprised expressions of the Green family.

It was the first time they saw Alan so emotional and excited.

Hershel recovered from being shocked by Alan. He did not hesitate this time because he had asked Alan. There were more than twenty people in the school who had lived with her. Zhang Qiang was just a person who traveled to Gran Town, and he was willing to share food with so many people!

"Zhang, our Green family is willing to join the plan you mentioned. The world has become like this... Although I am old, I still have the energy to work hard to change all this."

Hershel stood up, his shoulders were not hunched as usual, he was so excited by Zhang Qiang that his blood rushed to his head, even though he was old, he was still a man, how could he not want to be a hero.

The theory of mission is nothing more than the theory of born heroes!

Zhang Qiang stood up pretending to be excited and shook hands with Hershel vigorously. He knew that it had finally worked and the Green family would play a role in his plan!

However...new problems have also arisen. This is definitely a big problem in terms of personnel planning and implementation!

"Herschel, regarding various cooperation matters, I wonder if you could come to the school for a meeting tomorrow. I only have a vague understanding of the logistics, and other people's opinions are also important."

Zhang Qiang looked into Hershel's eyes sincerely.

"Well, if you don't mind my old-fashioned ideas."

Hershel seemed in high spirits, as he felt that his life had a purpose again after losing his wife and relatives.

As for protecting his daughter and family, he had suffered another blow before, and Zhang Qiang had saved him twice.

The two people who reached a cooperation agreement began to enjoy snacks and coffee in a relaxed manner. Zhang Qiang occasionally talked to Herschel about his ideas again and emphasized the importance of Herschel's family.

This made Hershel feel very useful. After Zhang Qiang gained Hershel's trust, he also told Hershel about the strength of his equipment. He possessed heavy firepower that was stronger than the regular army squad level, and the quantity was large.

Enough to protect everyone's safety.

Hershel was lost in thought, thinking about something he should do...

After everything was over, Zhang Qiang walked out of Hershel's house with a smile on his face. Hershel was about to see him off when he saw people from Rick's team surrounding them.

"you……?"

Hershel frowned. He didn't trust Rick and the others enough.

Helping these outsiders made him feel risky, as his eldest son Sean died in an accident caused by outsiders.

(Also named Sean, in the first season of the game The Walking Dead, his legs were run over by the naughty kid Duck driving a tractor, and then he was bitten to death by a zombie)

Zhang Qiang also frowned. He didn't understand what the people led by Rick were planning.

"Thank you, Zhang."

Rick, who was still growing a beard, came over and sincerely thanked Zhang Qiang. Whether it was finding surgical equipment for Carl or finding Sophia, Zhang Qiang had done so much for their group.

"You're welcome, Rick. It's nothing."

Zhang Qiang answered calmly.

Rick is destined to be the leader of another force. He has a firm will and his ideas are difficult to change.

As for Zhang Qiang, to be honest, he could have joined Rick's team, provided weapons and led them to kill people, but the Rick's team, which had not experienced various tragedies, was just a pile of shit.

Zhang Qiang believes that his participation will affect the growth of others. Thinking about the longer-term future, Zhang Qiang also feels that Rick's will to transform himself every season will affect his chances of survival.

Never show mercy to the enemy, only those who surrender first will survive. This is the absolute principle Zhang Qiang set for himself, and it is also the wisdom left by our ancestors: to cut the grass, you must uproot it.

Rick will be hesitant about this in the future. (Under Negan's rule, Rick actually received benevolent guidance, which led to Carl's death)

Zhang Qiang turned around and was about to walk towards the pickup truck where Dai Ya was. Rick followed him and said hurriedly:

"Zhang! I have a request. I need your help. I know we already owe you a lot, but if you are willing to lend a hand, we are willing to accept any request you make."

Zhang Qiang was about to speed up the process after hearing Rick's first words, but he wavered when Rick mentioned any requirements.

It might be a good idea to reach a favor deal with the future leader of the other force.

"Go ahead Rick."

Zhang Qiang stopped and prepared to listen to what Rick had to say.

"This matter actually has something to do with you. Andrea, Amy, and Sevo may still be alive." Rick said seriously.

The recent return of those who had returned gave Rick and the others hope.

"go on."

Zhang Qiang's eyes were cold and he was unmoved. Rick was obviously playing tricks.

"Remember you said amputation could prevent the corpse from turning into a corpse? Andrea finally did it! Amy lost her arm, and she didn't receive treatment until we went to the CDC...

Later, before the CDC was destroyed, Andrea carried Amy on her back, and Sevo covered their retreat and fought off the zombies. They were blown away by the shock wave of the CDC explosion!

But Sofia just said that she saw them get back on their feet! So did Sevo..."

Zhang Qiang remained unmoved after hearing this, and said coldly: "Maybe he was killed in the explosion and resurrected."

Rick felt his breath catch when he heard these words. He knew that Zhang Qiang had never been fond of him, but there was no need to say such irritating words.

"Hey, Zhang, I..."

Rick wanted to say something else.

"See you tomorrow, Hershel. Remember to bring Alan along to play!"

Zhang Qiang climbed onto the back of the truck and waved to Hershel and his daughters in front of the house with a smile on his face.

As for Rick, Zhang Qiang ignored him.
