If one day, I can contribute to our common good, I will consider myself the happiest person in the world. --Gogol

Li Baoqiang and others saw the crowd at the gate of the school, and it was Professor Zhao who led the victims to wait for the team to return.

"At the beginning of people, the nature is good, the habits are similar, and the sex is far away......" Li Baoqiang and others were slightly stunned when they heard the sound of reading aloud from the school, and had a deeper impression of the organizational ability of Professor Zhao and others. The immature voice suddenly gave the world a vigorous vitality.

Li Baoqiang stopped the car and jumped off the jeep. Li Baoqiang came to Professor Zhao surrounded by the fat man Wang Zhiming, the thin man Li Dayong and six female soldiers. The fat and thin duo are now inseparable like Li Baoqiang's left and right protectors.

"This person is so strange, every time I see it, he is wearing tatters." Zhao Xiaoxiao still couldn't help but laugh at the first time.

The female soldiers saw Zhao Xiaoxiao sneering at Li Baoqiang's dress, and stared fiercely at this girl who didn't know the height of the sky.

Zhao Xiaoxiao is a girl who is used to staying in the ivory tower, she has not experienced the humiliation and fear suffered by female soldiers, because she has not experienced it, so she can't imagine that Li Baoqiang has almost paid the price of his life to save everyone in the past few days, she just has an impression of Li Baoqiang driving away the wild dogs.

He didn't care about wearing Li Baoqiang, just keep it warm and clean, so he directly ignored Zhao Xiaoxiao's sneer, but liked Zhao Xiaoxiao's heartiness and generosity in his heart.

Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose and stepped forward to say to Professor Zhao, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." ”

Professor Zhao looked at Li Baoqiang's group, one color camouflage as a training uniform, Li Baoqiang carried a submachine gun on his back, two fat and thin students hung a pistol on their waists, and the female soldiers each had a rebar rod in their hands. He was surprised to find that Li Baoqiang's temperament had changed dramatically, and there was also a faint murderous aura in the female soldiers, and his two students, Wang Zhiming and Li Dayong, were also reborn, which was very different from the previous state of being polite and polite.

Under the admiring and grateful eyes of the victims, Li Baoqiang and everyone walked into a classroom on the first floor, which was temporarily used as a conference room.

"Let's eat first, and then let's go out for a walk and chat." Professor Zhao motioned for Zhao Xiaoxiao and a few male and female classmates to bring up the steaming white rice.

Li Baoqiang and others are really hungry. I haven't eaten well for two days, Li Baoqiang and Wang Zhiming ate two bowls of rice in a row, and Wang Zhiming stretched out the empty bowl to Zhao Xiaoxin: "Another bowl." Zhao Xiaoxiao muttered: "It's temporary, a bowl of rice porridge per person, you have exceeded the standard." Wang Zhiming glanced at Professor Zhao and drank boiled water.

Li Baoqiang asked Liu Junsheng for a set of training uniforms that had been transported back from the Armed Forces Department before, and when he wore it, a standard military image made everyone's eyes shine, Zhao Xiaoxiao took a few more looks, and the female soldiers too, especially Wu Chun, recalled the situation of wiping Li Baoqiang's body scars and holding Li Baoqiang to sleep last night, and his face was hot for a while.

Then Li Baoqiang and Professor Zhao walked out of the classroom, the fat man Wang Zhiming and the thin man Li Dayong followed closely behind like the second general, and the six female soldiers also followed. Li Baoqiang asked them to go back and rest, and everyone shook their heads and insisted on following. Li Baoqiang had no choice but to agree.

This scene not only surprised Professor Zhao secretly, but He Qun, who was injured in his leg, was also envious, jealous and hateful when he saw it.

Professor Zhao led the group to the hillside behind the school, pointing to the school and the town in front of it.

"What's next for you?" Professor Zhao's eyes showed a look of expectation.

Li Baoqiang was stunned and did not answer.

After a while, Li Baoqiang briefly told Professor Zhao about the two days of bravely saving the women, collecting weapons and food, building a team, and outwitting the rat swarm.

"Actually, I still want to go back to my hometown and have a look." Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose and stopped the sour feeling.

"But that's for later. Now let's settle down here. ”

Professor Zhao patted Li Baoqiang's shoulder in understanding.

"In the past two days, I have an idea that I want you to be the head of our group, or the village head, to lead everyone to resist disasters and rebuild their homes."

Li Baoqiang stared at Professor Zhao in surprise, but everyone behind him was thoughtful and secretly agreed with Professor Zhao's idea.

"I'm afraid this won't work, I'm just a veteran, it's okay to fight and kill, but I don't have the ability to be the village chief." Li Baoqiang said sincerely.

"As I said earlier, with great power comes great responsibility. There are dangers everywhere right now, such as the rat plague you just mentioned, which are likely to come again, and you have experience in dealing with them. ”

"In addition, don't look at the town is quite stable now, I think there will be other groups coming to harass me soon, now is not the past, natural selection, the law of the jungle, natural disasters, there must be someone to lead us to resist all disasters. And that person is you. ”

Li Baoqiang pondered and hesitated.

"Big brother, you will be our village chief from now on, our head, I will follow you." The fat man eavesdropping behind him couldn't help but shout, and the thin man also echoed firmly, and the female soldiers were also eager. In their minds, except for Li Baoqiang, this god-like powerhouse, there is really no one who can make them look at it.

"You don't have to worry about the rest, you just be the village chief, and we'll help you with the rest."

Professor Zhao said earnestly. Li Baoqiang looked at everyone, looked into the distance, and agreed.

Professor Zhao put a heart in his stomach, took Li Baoqiang's hand, and communicated with Li Baoqiang about his next thoughts.

Night. Zhao Xiaoxiao and several female classmates were huddled on the desk, wrapped in coats and quilts, still thinking about the scene of the meeting just now.

Temporary meeting rooms. The two candles glow with a yellowish glow.

The conference table with six desks is surrounded by Li Baoqiang, Professor Zhao, Zhao Xiaoxiao, He Qun, Wang Zhiming, Li Dayong, car repair master Liu Junsheng, security guard Zhang Juncai, and an old Chinese medicine doctor Zhao Benzhang. Six female soldiers sat behind Li Baoqiang.

Everyone wrapped their clothes tightly, their mouths were hot, it was too cold, Zhang Juncai poured a cup of hot water for everyone, the water was drawn from the school well, and it was basically unpolluted.

Because Professor Zhao had already told everyone in advance, everyone unanimously agreed to nominate Li Baoqiang as the village head, and the name of the village was named after this Hope Primary School, called Hope Village.

According to the requirements of personal ability and village management, Li Baoqiang arranged everyone's work:

Professor Zhao serves as the assistant to the village chief and assists the village chief in handling basic matters.

Zhao Xiaoxiao served as the principal of Hope Primary School and worked as a teacher with several female college students;

He Qun served as the leader of the construction team, responsible for the construction of the wall and fortress;

Zhang Juncai served as the logistics team leader, responsible for the villagers to eat, drink, and sleep;

Liu Junsheng served as the head of the equipment team and assisted Li Baoqiang in the manufacture of weapons and the repair of machinery and equipment;

Zhao Benzhang served as the director of the hospital, responsible for the health of the villagers, and the prevention of epidemic diseases and the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases caused by acid rain became the focus.

Li Baoqiang concurrently serves as the captain of the armed team, and the deputy captains are Wang Zhiming and Li Dayong, each leading a squad, with ten people in each class; Directly under the female soldier squad, squad leader Wu Chun, five female soldiers.

The most important principle of village management is consultation and centralization, which is currently mainly centralized and supplemented by consultation.

The basic principle of the villagers is that the active must work, and if they do not work, they cannot eat. The elderly, children, and the sick are cared for by the village.

Zhang Juncai briefly reported on the current situation in the village.

There were a total of 146 villagers, including 63 who were seriously injured, sick, disabled, elderly over 60 years old and children under 14 years old. There were 81 young men and women, including three captured gangsters.

Grain: 15 tons of rice; Forty bags of flour are about two tons, which Liu Junsheng collected in the flour warehouse, although mixed with rat meat crumbs, it can be eaten, and it is planned to be used to feed some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. There are not many other groceries, snacks, etc. Among them, the salt is about 200 catties.

Weapons: two submachine guns, two pistols, 200 rounds of ammunition for submachine guns, and 40 rounds of pistol ammunition remaining. The rebar rod in the hands of the female soldier is also considered a weapon, and the next step is to forge the spear head.

The school has a total of 14 classrooms on three floors, two of which are on the first floor to store food and miscellaneous items, and one is used as a conference room. All others are used as temporary residences, which are arranged separately for families and single men and single women.

When Li Baoqiang heard this, his understanding of Zhang Juncai deepened, and it was already very good to be able to do this in a short period of time.

But for these basic situations, Li Baoqiang still felt deeply worried, his brows couldn't help frowning, and everyone was also worried: food will always be empty, spring is still far away, crises can break out at any time, how will the village develop, and where will it go next......

"At present, the main thing is three things," Li Baoqiang said, "one is to continue to collect all the materials that can be used in the town; the second is to train the team; The third is to build a fence. ”

"Materials are the source of the survival of the village, the defense team is the force of the survival of the village, and the wall is the guarantee of the survival of the village."

After communicating with Professor Zhao, Li Baoqiang basically clarified his thoughts through an afternoon. Now that they were talking eloquently, everyone looked sideways, Zhao Xiaoxiao stared at Li Baoqiang in surprise, He Qun thoughtfully, and Professor Zhao showed a relieved smile.

Li Baoqiang's idea is this: the two deputy captains each find ten team members, take turns to train, and take turns to help Zhang Juncai's logistics team go to the town to find supplies and protect safety; And Liu Junsheng, Li Baoqiang is ready to develop weapons with him, and now there is really nothing called a weapon except for four guns. The logistics team will mobilize all the active people to go to the town to collect supplies in the next few days.

"Tomorrow I will gather the villagers to announce this because tomorrow is January 1, 2013. It's a new year on! Li Baoqiang said hopefully.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were shocked.

Ten days have passed since the disaster, and the villagers who have experienced the hardship are physically and mentally damaged. The death of a loved one, the pain suffered by the body, numbing the nerves; The robbery, rape, murder of the gangsters, and the crazy bloodlust of the wild dog pack make the villagers lose hope of survival; It was Li Baoqiang who brought safety and hope to the villagers.

The new year has come, a new year, a new hope, can this veteran in front of you lead everyone to hope and rebuild their homes? Everyone's eyes were full of hope.

"What kind of person is he......" Zhao Xiaoxiao muttered and fell asleep.

And Li Baoqiang in the other room also tossed and turned, the fat man next to him made a sweet snoring sound, and the six female soldiers insisted on staying by Li Baoqiang's side, and they also fell asleep next to him.

Li Baoqiang was thinking about what he should say to face all the villagers for the first time tomorrow, and where he would lead this group of people.

"I have a dream." Li Baoqiang shouted loudly in his dream.
