Chapter 38: The Leader and the Lone Wanderer
"Hahaha, we've gained a lot this time!" Before Su Ziyan could speak, Jiang Yan jumped out of the car first, and when he saw Su Ziyan coming out, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Sister Ziyan, are you awake?" ”
Su Ziyan nodded lightly, and also looked at this heavily armed junior, after a few days of not seeing her, she found that Jiang Yan seemed to be more and more adapted to this last world.
From his face, the fear of the end of the world can no longer be seen, and the whole person seems to have been reborn and has become calm.
In the three days that Su Ziyan was in a coma, Zhang Wenming and his entourage had already gone to Jiang Yan's home and picked up his parents.
There is a saying that life is probably like a tree that grows on the hillside, growing on the south slope, with plenty of sunshine and fertile soil, which can be described as a good situation; Growing on the northern slopes, the wind and snow are combined, and the soil is poor, which can be described as adversity. Fortunately and unfortunate, although there is a world of difference, but the material and the non-material, take or give, use and discard, in the hearts of the discerning talent, the situation is very different.
Maybe some people are suitable for this kind of life full of ups and downs, Su Ziyan thought to herself.
Staggered with Jiang Yan, Su Ziyan turned to look at Zhang Wenming and them curiously, and then expressed surprise at the fact that there was a bus behind them, she was wondering how many supplies would make Jiang Yan say "great gain".
This is a tall bus, full of up to fifty people, at this juncture, there is no problem in squeezing seventy or eighty people.
At this time, the front of the bus had some dust scratches, and although the glass was not broken, it was not clean, and it was obvious that there were many obstacles along the way. Su Ziyan knew that the materials that Zhang Wenming and they went out to find this time were on this bus.
"Everyone, don't stand still, while the zombies are being lured away, everyone hurry over and move supplies!"
With Zhang Wenming's shout, the survivors who had already come to the compound stepped forward one after another. Everyone was very interested in Zhang Wenming's smooth return, and they all knew that the car of materials they brought back was related to their survival, so they didn't need Zhang Wenming's command at all, and walked out of the compound one by one regardless of the danger of their lives, and began to carry various materials from the bus in an orderly manner.
This kind of scene of ascending to the top and responding to all calls made Su Ziyan realize in a trance that this Zhang Wenming seemed to have established the image of a leader in the minds of these people, which made her feel a little surprised.
Come to think of it, the mistress of the house that sheltered them was not as safe as Zhang Wenming brought to them!
Of course, this thought disappeared quickly, and Su Ziyan understood that in the final analysis, it was because she slept for three days, if she hadn't been asleep for these three days, she wanted to come...... Well, she admitted, with her current appearance, even if she didn't sleep for the past three days, she must not be able to bring much security to these survivors.
People have a habit of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and now that the end times are coming, men will always have more natural leadership advantages than women, and no one can change this.
For example, if you were a survivor and you had to choose someone who could protect you, would you choose someone who looked very weak at first glance, or would you choose someone who was tall and powerful and looked very explosive?
Unless you are giving up on yourself and want to die early and be reborn early, the answer is undoubtedly the latter!
Besides, Su Ziyan knows that not only does her gender not bring much security to others, but she is actually very unadvantageous in terms of appearance, so she is afraid that she should not be classified as a "red face and trouble", so she should smile secretly.
It is the instinct of all living beings to submit to the strong, and at present, this Zhang Wenming is undoubtedly a strong man worthy of following and obeying in the minds of all survivors!
As for the leadership of the team, Su Ziyan doesn't particularly attach importance to it, in essence, she is a person with a pure heart and few desires, it is enough to keep her own one-third of an acre, and she doesn't want to care about too many things, compared to the leadership role of the team, she is more willing to act as a lone traveler.
This is not only a reason for her personality, Su Ziyan always feels that her personality is problematic, well, there is another point, it is because she is lazy.
She thinks that she is a very selfish person, a little capable, it is enough to protect herself and the people around her, no matter how capable people are, they can't take care of everyone, once there are more people who need to be taken care of, it is inevitable to take care of one or the other. In the end, it will end up with a heroic ending that dies on the battlefield, which is not good.
asked her to risk her life for the sake of others, she felt that her consciousness was not so high, and she was still a little unwilling. So it's a little ability, such as awakening the ability of the ice system, Su Ziyan doesn't plan to say it for the time being, sometimes the higher the ability, the greater the responsibility, this is the invisible shackles given by society, you have the ability, how can you not protect everyone? The weak seem to be able to say such things with great confidence, as if weakness is their natural reason for being strong.
Although these didn't happen, Su Ziyan had to take care of it, so she still hoped that she wouldn't rush to the front, silently guard the rear, and perform a trick at a critical time to blind everyone's eyes, wouldn't it be good.
At the moment when she saw Zhang Wenming "ascending and shouting", a large number of thoughts flashed through Su Ziyan's mind, and her brain turned quickly, but in fact, it was only a momentary effort.
When she returned to reality and noticed the materials that everyone had moved, she was surprised to find that the materials that Zhang Wenming and they had brought back were varied and varied. Among them, there are not only bags of grain, all kinds of shelf-stable canned food, some fruits and vegetables, but also some daily necessities, and even bags of unopened cement from the car at the end......
Is this a posture of preparing to build a wall and fort and constantly consolidate the foundation?
Looking back at my small three-story building, which is not particularly luxurious, the area is large enough, but no matter how you look at it, I don't think this is a place that can be held on for a long time.
As the supplies on the bus continued to be emptied, several people stepped off the bus.
One of them is a man and a woman, under Jiang Yan's introduction, Su Ziyan knows that this man is his father, and the woman is Zhang Wenming's cousin, and Zhang Wenming's only relative in this world. This trip was mainly responsible for driving the bus and assisting in the transportation of supplies.
And there are some people, but Su Ziyan frowned.
Looking at their timid looks, she looked at Zhang Wenming, obviously, this is the person they brought back when they went out, Su Ziyan is not against the fact that they continue to save the survivors in the last days, but now they don't even have a settlement, so they take the liberty of collecting the survivors, which is very likely to cause their own burden.
The survivors who had temporarily lived in her home were either neighbors or relatives, and it was not appropriate to refuse anyone. And these people in front of them are not relatives, and if they keep adding people, it seems a little unwise.
Of course, a big team has big benefits, not to mention the rest, it is a good thing to improve combat effectiveness, but this has one of the most basic premises, that is, to judge the situation and develop according to their own abilities! Blindly expanding the retirement like now, not only will it not bring any benefits, but it will support itself because it is developing too fast!
Lack of supplies is the most serious restriction!
As if seeing Su Ziyan's concerns, Zhang Wenming had no choice but to smile helplessly, stepped forward and said, "These are the people we found in the mall, after the apocalypse, they occupied a mall, and then ran into us." ”
"How many people are there?" Seeing that the matter had come to this, Su Ziyan asked in a low voice.
"Eight! Teachers and students from a nearby middle school! ”
Su Ziyan nodded, understood, these must be the teachers and students of Shanmu Town Middle School, that school is a boarding junior high school, when the zombie virus broke out, many teachers and students escaped, and these eight teachers and students happened to escape to the shopping mall where Zhang Wenming and they went.
Among these eight people, there are two teachers and six students, and three of them are girls, in other words, for Su Ziyan, while getting some help, they also ushered in a few troubles, at least a few oil bottles.
Counting the dozen or so people who were originally hiding in her house, there are now almost thirty people in total! With the addition of Su Ziyan and the six of them, the total number has reached thirty-four! This made Su Ziyan have to worry about future management and material needs.
