On the second floor of the big villa, in Zhao Zijian's study, the candles were lit all night.

Feng Xinlan stayed there all night.

No one invited her to be there to participate in the discussion, but no one had to drive her away, so she found a random footstool and sat down in the corner, listening to the heated arguments in the room.

But she herself did not express any opinion.

Like her, who almost sat from beginning to end, and almost never participated in the discussion of various topics, there was also Zhao Zijian.

In addition to the two of them, on this night, there were more than a dozen people who participated in the discussion in this room, including Xie Yuqing, Qin Bingxuan, Qin Yueshuang, Jiang Pu, Nan Yuanfeng, Zhao Huimin, Wei Lu, Zheng Puyuan, Huo Dongwen, etc.

Among them, Feng Xinlan knew most of them, but there were a few people who didn't know each other.

It's just that even if they don't know each other, their identities can be vaguely guessed through their speeches - either they are people from the Dongcheng Group on Qin Bingxuan's side, or they are people from the Special Action Committee system on Wei Lu's side.

Among the dozen people, there are only Xie Yuqing, Zhao Huimin and her, three women.

Xie Yuqing is the owner of this room, so this night, her main task is to keep boiling hot water in the kitchen, and then bring a big pot to make tea and refill water for the people in the room, Zhao Huimin got up many times to help her, and Feng Xinlan also helped to change the teacup - the power has been interrupted, but the tap water in the villa here is still there, but the water pressure is already very weak, and the supply of natural gas has not been cut off, I don't know why. In addition, what they drank was a dozen barrels of pure water stored in the villa for the time being.

This night, they discussed all kinds of things, but basically revolved around what everyone should do next, although Feng Xinlan did not express any of her own opinions, but she listened and thought carefully from beginning to end, trying to understand the thoughts of others at the same time, in her own heart to sort out the pros and cons of each idea.

When it was getting light up outside and everyone had drunk an unknown amount of water, a lot of things were discussed, and everyone finally basically agreed regardless of their original opinions.

In the middle of the discussion, even Xie Yuqing and Zhao Huimin spoke from time to time, and Huo Dongwen was even more enthusiastic and active, but Feng Xinlan could see that it was often Qin Bingxuan who really took the idea and finalized the general direction.

The only person who could discuss with him repeatedly was about one Wei Lu, who was already in a high position—but even Wei Lu was often persuaded by Qin Bingxuan's opinion in the end.

However, this is not a bully or a word, because in all fairness, most of the time, even Feng Xinlan, who was listening on the side, after seriously thinking about everyone's speeches, would feel that Qin Bingxuan's consideration was more comprehensive, his thinking was more accurate, and his reasons were more sufficient.

Therefore, as the discussion deepened, everyone looked at him with more and more admiration, and they all took his speech more and more seriously, thought about it seriously, and then expressed their opinions.

And after each question was discussed, when everyone's opinions began to converge, Qin Bingxuan would turn his head to look at Zhao Zijian, so everyone looked at Zhao Zijian, and heard Qin Bingxuan ask him: "What do you think?"

Zhao Zijian said, "I have no opinion. Now that you've discussed it, let's do it. ”

Then the topic is considered to be over, and you can move on to the next topic.

Every time Zhao Zijian said this, but Qin Bingxuan still asked him every time, and everyone in the room also looked at him every time, waiting for him to say that.

I don't know if others feel the same way, at least in the eyes of Feng Xinlan, a bystander, it seems that this question and answer has begun to have a certain sense of ritual.

Eventually, a lot of issues were agreed.

The first one is about saving people.

Everyone doesn't know how many people have survived in the urban area of Minghu City now, but in terms of the size of Minghu City, a city with a population of up to three or four million, even if a disaster breaks out suddenly, theoretically speaking, it is still very possible for three or five hundred thousand people to survive - in other places, everyone has no time to take care of it, and they don't have the ability to take care of it, but at least these people around them still have to rescue them from the threat of Jingniao as soon as possible.

By the way, there is no unanimous statement, anyway, discussing and discussing, everyone began to call that big bird a Kyoto bird.

The brunt of this task is, of course, on Zhao Zijian.

His sudden attack just now, of course, killed as many as seven Beijing birds in one fell swoop, so that the living environment around the big villa has improved a lot at least at once - at least as far as the eye can see, there are no more Beijing birds, and their unique calls can not be heard nearby, but if you listen carefully, at this moment, the night is quiet, and you can still hear their calls in the distance, and there are still their calls from time to time.

With the strong deterrent power of the Kyoto bird, it is conceivable that as long as there is a place for its activities, the lives of those who survive will be threatened at any time.

Therefore, Zhao Zijian's first task tomorrow is to continue to kill and drive away those Beijing birds that are still entrenched in Minghu City.

The specific plan of implementation is to attack first to the east, and then in all directions.

Why do you want to go east first, Feng Xinlan didn't understand it at first, but then Qin Bingxuan mentioned it, saying that in the afternoon, a professor from Qidong University called and got in touch with this side, it was a medical professor, who was a person that Zhao Zijian valued very much, and there seemed to be a cousin of Zhao Zijian in the east, so in the case that no one else had any special demands, of course, it was best to go east first.

In addition to Zhao Zijian, who was responsible for breaking east to kill and drive the Jingniao, Wei Lu and Jiang Pu also promised that they would each organize all the manpower they could organize under their hands to follow the direction of Zhao Zijian's breakthrough to collect corpses and clear the road - at least to gradually clear a main road and restore traffic.

The opinion of the dead bodies was to be burned together to avoid the possible outbreak of the plague - although it was winter, frozen corpses would be much safer than those that decomposed rapidly in the summer, but it was better to prevent them from burning.

In addition, no one took the initiative to mention it, but Feng Xinlan thought of himself: It is better to burn the corpses of these compatriots in a centralized manner than to let them be eaten into white bones by Beijing birds, some kind of monsters, or stray dogs one day in the future.

This is the compassion that every normal person will have.

And after the initial results of driving the Jingniao away, Wei Lu and Qin Bingxuan's subordinates will work together to organize the rescued people, as long as they are willing to stay and follow everyone, they must make work arrangements after understanding the original job and direction they are good at.

The next work arrangement is the second big issue.

Everyone unanimously agreed that the next step is to concentrate the population and try to restore the various preliminary functions of Minghu City -- organize people who know how to use electricity to do electricity, and people who know water conservancy to do water conservancy, and make the best use of each other, so as to restart the supply of electricity and water in a certain area of Minghu City as soon as possible.

Then it is conceivable that there are probably so many people with a population of hundreds of thousands left, and they are not so well organized, and not everyone is obedient and will obey the arrangement, and once the threat of Jingniao is eliminated, it is likely that Minghu City will face first, but a big riot.

In this regard, everyone's opinion is that if you want to be free, you should be free, but those who stay must abide by the laws and rules that everyone agrees on. Based on this, everyone's beautiful vision is that in the next five days to a week, after the initial exorcism of the Beijing bird or other monsters that may exist that threatens the survival of the survivors, clear the main road, and restore the basic living supply, the survivors who are willing to follow everyone will be arranged to be concentrated in several large-scale residential communities in the east of Minghu City.

And in the process, everyone has to go to the barracks of the garrison troops and the armed police force in Minghu City to obtain weapons, including heavy weapons that may or may not be available.

If this is only a preliminary solution to the current situation and the situation of everyone, then it is necessary to consider some long-term issues.

Qin Bingxuan suggested that after assisting the local people to establish basic social order and security, he waited for this group of people to transfer to Yunzhou City as soon as possible. Because there, their Dongcheng Group has built a base in the suburbs of Yunzhou City, a place called Heting Mountain, in the depths of the mountain, which is sufficient for self-sufficiency and self-protection in all aspects - electricity and water can be supplied sufficiently.

Although according to him, there are still many post-renovation projects that have not been completed, and many electronic devices have not yet had time to be installed, the main building has been completed and is ready to move in. And just after the incident, he had already urgently contacted his younger brother who was self-sufficient in Yunzhou City, and under his leadership, Yunzhou City should be able to safely evacuate a group of people to that villa within 24 hours.

Everyone has different ideas about this, but there is one thing that he convinces.

Although their Dongcheng Group also has a similar base in the eastern suburbs of Minghu City, which has begun to measure the place and prepare to start construction, but now there is not even a foundation, and in the current situation that the social order has collapsed and it is extremely difficult to ensure the supply of various materials and materials, it is too difficult to organize people to build this base, and it is by no means an overnight effort, such as taking the initiative to retreat to Yunzhou City, which is more than 300 kilometers away.

But about this retreat, in fact, in the end, it is not considered to be unanimous.

Because no one knows what the situation is like outside now.

I don't know if there are other monsters outside, I don't know the geometry of the survivors outside, and I don't know what I will encounter when I pass the hundreds of kilometers of road from Minghu City to Yunzhou City.

Therefore, this can only be regarded as a relatively mature proposal, whether to do it or not, how to do it, everything will have to wait and see.

At least wait until the initial restoration of communication here, even if it is only a satellite phone, can get a certain amount of contact with Yunzhou City, and even other places in the country, and then decide according to the specific situation.

Moreover, this is just the general direction, in fact, the discussion of these will not take too much time, and what really takes a lot of everyone's energy and tongue is some details.

How can we be sure that people are not dead? In this afternoon's example, many people "faked their deaths," but they were as short as three or four hours or as long as seven or eight hours, and many people woke up one after another.

That is, what if what you burned was a living person?

How do you clean up the roads? Do all the cars drive on small roads? You can't let them go! Or, do you want to go to the neighborhoods and underground parking lots within the road section as much as possible?

In this process, there is also the problem of material collection - everyone can realize that so many people died at once, and the entire social order completely collapsed, which inevitably means that many production activities will completely disappear for a long time, and it is not yet known whether they can be restored in the future, so what is eaten, drunk, worn, used, gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and even engines, etc., at this time, must be treated as non-renewable resources.

Also, how to deal with troublemakers? Isn't it too cruel to shoot people directly after two warnings? People have to say that this land does not belong to us, and they do not obey the arrangements and arrangements of this side, but they want to live here, what should we do? Do you want to kill them?

In short, when troubled times begin, it is almost inevitable that violence will be used frequently, but to what extent? and what are the criteria?

and mutants.

It is said that among the survivors, a considerable number of them will be transformed and can absorb the ubiquitous "aura" in the air, thus becoming new mutants. How should we select and distinguish these people, and how should we organize them next?

And so on and so forth.

With the slow passage of time, the tea from hot to cool, and from cool to hot, tea from bright to none, to new tea, many things, all kinds of details, everyone discussed the past, and when the outdoor sky gradually lit up, although everyone did not sleep all night, and just experienced such a great change in the world more than ten or twenty hours ago, at this time, they were full of energy.

The same is true for Feng Xinlan, including Feng Xinlan.

At least everyone has understood what to do next, and what specific things they should do according to their ability, so that they will not be at a loss and clueless as before.

When the sky really brightened, and even the sun jumped out of the ground, Zhao Zijian took a sip of tea and ended the discussion in person. He said: "It's dawn, let's get some food for everyone first, drink a cup of hot tea and soup, and get ready to work!"

However, when everyone got up with a smile and was about to start busy, Xie Yuqing went over and opened the big curtains, but beckoned: "Come and see, what are they doing here?"

So next, Feng Xinlan then personally experienced a scene that she will never forget for the rest of her life.

Same as this past night.
