74. Chapter 74
Seeing such an unscientific incident unfolding in front of their eyes, many survivors were frightened, and then subconsciously looked at the few soldiers, hoping that they could investigate, who knows whether it was pie or discus that fell from the sky?
The current person in charge of the Chongtao base was originally Shi Chang, the person in charge of the military/affairs/base, and under the eager onlookers of everyone, he personally led the team to climb the opposite mountain to check the situation, so he was the first to understand the strength of a supermarket, however, then, Shi Chang fell into a difficult choice.
After all, the base hidden in the mountains is only a scientific research base, and the force of the guards does exist, but there are not many, there is only one battalion, which makes the apocalypse, the soldiers who survived less than a battalion are really unable to protect so many survivors, and the materials originally stored in the base are also rapidly consumed, and the logistics are extremely tight.
Shi Chang knew very well that some of the survivors were very dissatisfied with the current situation of the escort team controlling the supply of base logistics and controlling the order of the Taotao base, and the contradictions between the escort team and the survivors had accumulated to a critical point, which could erupt at any time, and when the time came, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At such a critical point, a supermarket that seemed to be very tempting and seductive suddenly appeared in front of him, and he inevitably had great doubts about what to do with this supermarket.
Fully open to survivors? What if the survivors get the weapons and try to change the current order? Strictly controlled, only for the use of the escort team? After all, the number of convoys is still too small, and if they are drowned by the sea of people who resist after learning the truth, it will not even stir up a splash, and the final result is still that the survivors overthrow the convoy and establish a new order......
Shi Chang stood in the corner of the supermarket, his back to a platoon of men who followed him, his hands trembling slightly. Looking down through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the supermarket, the survivors in the valley are all looking in the direction of the supermarket, talking eagerly, and even unconsciously gradually approaching the supermarket.
"Sir, we can't let them into this supermarket!"
Adjutant Cui Wanshui also saw the crowd under the cliff, and his voice was eager to persuade:
"In addition to selling food, this supermarket also sells guns?! This news is too terrifying to be known to ordinary people! If ordinary people knew about it, they might even take the risk of snatching our warrior's gun first in order to obtain the zombie crystal nucleus!
Sir! Before, we were able to maintain a reluctant peace with ordinary people because our logistics warehouse was in the base, and they couldn't get in, so they barely suppressed the contradiction in order to get our protection, but if ordinary people had another way to survive besides relying on the base, they would probably immediately tear through the appearance of sheep and tear us apart and devour us first! ”
Hearing Cui Wanshui's words, the soldiers who were gathered in the supermarket at this time, who were originally excited by the appearance of the supermarket, fell silent, no longer fiddled with the goods in the supermarket, sat down on the floor of the supermarket dejectedly, and then looked at their chief with blank eyes.
As the fighters who have personally stood on the front line of contact with the survivors in the past few days, they have the deepest feelings about the dark tide hidden under the calm, and the fighters of less than a battalion have been using a high-pressure policy in order to maintain the order of tens of thousands of survivors in the past few days.
It is this high-pressure policy that ensures the order of the more than 60,000 survivors gathered and ensures that there is no irreparable large-scale ** in the base, but it is precisely because of such a high-pressure policy that the relationship between the escort team and ordinary survivors is tense to the extreme.
The survivors privately cursed the convoys, believing that they, as soldiers, did not want to protect ordinary people in the face of such a catastrophe, but spent their days thinking about how to suppress/suppress the resistance of the masses. I don't want to go out to find food, but I only know how to compress the already small food supply every day......
And the exhausted warriors are also patiently exhausted by the constant conflict, and they are disappointed in the ordinary people they protect.
Because of such a tense relationship, after discovering the supermarket, I went up to Shichang and down to ordinary soldiers, and the first thought after reacting was how to keep it a secret and strictly guard it so that ordinary people would never know the situation in the supermarket.
In the valley, the excited crowd is still talking, and in the supermarket, except for the introduction of the soft mechanical girl, there is silence. Shi Chang had already fed back the situation in the supermarket to the scientific researchers at the base through the guò short- and medium-distance walkie-talkie, and then waited silently for the opinion of the scientific research department.
Cui Wanshui sighed secretly, took out three zombie crystal nuclei from his pocket, converted them into supermarket currency under the surprised eyes of other soldiers, and then bought all the water beads, handed one to Shi Chang first, kept one for himself, and distributed the rest to other comrades.
The food supply of the escort team itself was also strictly restricted, everyone was hungry and thirsty, and the sweet and abundant water in the water droplets moisturized the dry throat and dehydrated body, which was really refreshing from the inside out!
The expectant eyes of the comrades-in-arms who had personally experienced/seen the miraculous effects of supermarket goods fell on Cui Wanshui, and with a burning gaze, Cui Wanshui could only helplessly spread his hands, indicating that there were no more crystal nuclei on him.
Although the escort team is unable to go out to clean up the zombies, they can only stick to the base, but there are not a few zombies who have followed the survivors in the past few days, and some of the zombies killed by the escort team have even been transported into the base with crystal nuclei for scientific researchers to study, Cui Wanshui only after the scientific research department determined that the zombie crystal nucleus is not dangerous, because he felt that the zombie crystal verification was good-looking, he collected one or two, no more, but there is really nothing.
"Hold the supermarket, I will personally lead the team to arrive!"
Just when Cui Wanshui was about to be unable to withstand the bombardment of his comrades-in-arms, the walkie-talkie that sounded in Shi Chang's hand saved him, and Lu Yunsheng, the head of the base's scientific research department, issued the latest order.
Such an order quietly relieved all the warriors who were waiting in tack. Shi Chang also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he was the person in charge of the base, his military/rank was actually not the highest, the highest was this Lu Yunsheng, who devoted himself to scientific research. Before the end of the world, this person was just about research, but unfortunately, after the end of the world, this person could only withdraw his attention from scientific research and turn to the reality outside the base.
Soon, the gate of the military/office/base in the valley below slowly opened, and a group of scientific researchers in white research uniforms quickly passed through the crowd under the protection of two teams of soldiers, and rushed towards the mountain where the supermarket was located.
Just one sentence of "emergency rescue, unrelated personnel retreat", so that the survivors who originally wanted to surround them avoided this group of soldiers, and ran to the mountain where the supermarket was located with this group of soldiers.
