Chapter 39: The Radiation Rain Is Coming
Only when people have experienced pain can they cherish happiness more. The more you cherish happiness, the more you are willing to fight to protect it.
Therefore, when the conscription order came out, everyone directly put down the work at hand and ran to the conscription office to line up.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are still sixty or seventy-year-old people in the queue.
"I'll tell you, young man, don't be verbose, you were still playing with mud when I was a soldier. What, what, why are you pushing me, why can't I sign up! Several old men, whose hair was half gray, blocked the recruiting office and shouted loudly.
"Uncle, the escort team is not a joke, they have to fight mutant beasts and walking corpses." The young man from the recruiting office explained bitterly.
"What do you mean? Do you think Lao Tzu can't carry a gun, or can't hold a fist? Why don't we compare the two? The old man was not convinced.
The young man from the recruiting office was speechless.
These former veterans no longer meet the requirements for being soldiers, but they are all stubborn and scary. It's not a refusal, it's not a promise, it's embarrassing.
Not far away, Ming Ying immediately laughed when he saw this scene, directly dialed Zhang Yang's phone, and said with a smile: "Don't chill other people's hearts with conscription, we can build a reserve system, although we can't join the escort team, but we have to give them a hope." Especially some veterans who have previously retired from the army, respect them. ”
On the other side of the phone, Zhang Yang stood to answer the phone, looking extremely respectful, and hurriedly found a piece of paper to write it down, and said, "Okay, I've written it down." Please rest assured, I will carry it out immediately. ”
A moment later, another piece of news spread throughout Mingyun City - people who can't join the convoy don't need to be discouraged, as long as they complete the basic shooting test and meet the requirements, they can join the "reserve team" and be awarded medals.
This is completely designed for those veterans. The veterans are old, and they definitely can't keep up with the physical fitness test, but they are very good at shooting.
If the war is tense, these veterans can grab their guns and go into battle, which must be a force to be reckoned with.
After half a day, Liu Jun found Mingying and reported the recruitment situation in the morning.
"City Lord, a total of 1,626 soldiers were recruited this morning, and they were all admitted in strict accordance with the results of the physical fitness test, and nine out of ten were young and middle-aged." Liu Jun said with a serious face, "In the afternoon, we will increase our efforts, and we should be able to recruit four thousand people, and we can distribute potions tonight." ”
"Okay." Ming Ying nodded with satisfaction, and deliberately explained: "Pay more attention, find some good seedlings to increase cultivation efforts, and build a four-hundred-person sharp knife team on the basis of the four-thousand-person escort team." ”
Liu Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded heavily: "Guarantee to complete the task." ”
Ming Ying nodded, thinking of Jiang Yun and Zuo Fang, the four-hundred-person sharp knife team led by the two of them, which was not bad.
In the future, these four hundred people will be the highest-end force team in Mingyun City.
After Liu Jun finished reporting, Zhang Yang and Rong Sirou also found Ming Ying, Zhang Yang handed a piece of information to Ming Ying and reported: "City Lord, this is our preliminary plan for city management, which is basically the same as the previous official system. ”
Ming Ying took the information, glanced at it slightly, and found that he couldn't understand it at all, and suddenly his head was big, so he threw it directly to Rong Sirou and said: "In the future, these things will be decided by the two of you, don't ask me." ”
Zhang Yang and Rong Sirou both nodded.
Zhang Yang's eyes flickered a little, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, he thought about it, and finally spoke: "City Lord, Mingyun City was originally built according to the scale of 20 million people, but now it is only 30,000 people. ”
"Huh? How? Ming Ying asked.
Zhang Yang hurriedly said: "Now everyone is discussing, when the house is built, we are a little worried about how big we have to choose." ”
"Hmm...... This is indeed a problem. "Ming Ying, who has experienced a previous life, understands human nature too deeply and deeply.
People are like that, desires are never satisfied.
When my life is in danger, I always think that I can survive. When you're hungry, you always want to have enough to eat. When I don't have a house to live in, I always think about having a thatched hut to live in.
However, when these wishes are fulfilled, there are many more wishes.
Countless wishes are intertwined, and finally a colorful world is painted.
This is understandable, but Ming Ying needs to take care of it, because this is his city.
"You can come up with a plan, we can encourage the enthusiasm of the people, but we can't let people's desires expand indefinitely." Ming Ying only explained one sentence, and the rest was left alone.
The specific operation is better for Zhang Yang and Rong Sirou to do it.
Sure enough, Zhang Yang and Rong Sirou's eyes lit up when they heard this, and both of them knew Mingying's attitude, and the rest of the things were easy to do.
As for how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people and how to curb people's infinite desires, these two people have countless plans in their hearts.
"It's nothing, you can go about it yourself." Ming Ying waved his hand.
Zhang Yang nodded when he heard this, Rong Sirou glanced at Ming Ying, and finally bowed back, leaving Ming Ying with a charming curved back.
After Zhang Yang and Rong Sirou left, Ming Ying went out for a walk alone.
Now Mingyun City is in ruins, the construction site is full of hanging towers, the roar of locomotives is everywhere, Mingying sees that in addition to residential buildings, the city has also built a lot of underground pipe networks, and dug many ditches.
These are built in full accordance with the specifications of a standard city, and Zhang Yang and others also know that there will be radiation rain that will last for a long time in the future, so they are particularly careful in waterproofing and drainage, building rainproof corridors and fast drainage systems.
The most central part of Mingyun City is a planting area with a side length of four thousand meters, and Mingying has built a small city wall, only twenty or thirty meters high, and only three or four meters wide, and the city tower is full of armed security teams.
In the circle of the city wall, there is a large green grain field, planted with a large number of sweet potatoes, a small amount of rice, vegetables and the like, and some fruits, which can occasionally improve the rations of the people.
Ming Ying also moved the well to the center of the planting area, and there was a large pool next to the well water. Every day, a thousand kilograms of well water, mixed with ordinary water, are irrigated into the fields through a pump next to the pool.
The entire planting area exudes a dense vitality, and on the wall, the security team members all have solemn faces, and they dare not slack off at any time.
Because they all know that this is the hope of human survival.
After taking a turn around the planting area, Ming Ying went to the 500-meter-high outer wall again, only to find that there were already many walking corpses wandering around the outer wall.
Even, some mutant beasts have already begun to attack the outer walls, leaving scratches on the hard stone walls.
"Next, we have to strengthen the defense of the city wall, we can't defend passively, and I don't know when the weapons from Linhu City will be transported." Ming Ying secretly said in his heart, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Hua Yu in Linhu City.
Suddenly, a drop of liquid fell onto the screen in his hand, and then bits of liquid fell one after another, mixed with the pitch-black dust.
Ming Ying was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep breath.
The first radiation rain is finally coming.
