Chapter 307: Suspicious Actions (8)
85_85483 A minute of silence made the atmosphere of the audience a little dignified, and this is exactly the effect Xu Renjie wanted.
He needed to show the people here how hard-won the shelter they had received at the moment, and that the world beyond the walls was far more cruel and terrible than they had imagined.
Of course, while letting the people maintain due reverence for survival, Xu Renjie did not want to increase their panic because of this, so after the silence ended, he did not make any stops, and immediately announced the second agenda item of the meeting.
"The second thing I want to say is also related to this search mission, and I believe that everyone knows it very well. That is, one of our three teams successfully obtained thousands of catties of rice and related daily necessities for the base. ā
As usual, the names of the participants of the third squad were recited, and each time Xu Renjie recited it, he would raise his hand to signal the latter to stand up.
After all the 6 members of the third squad got up, Xu Renjie finally changed the solemn look on his face, and said to the people with a smile: "Here I mention yƬ, give some applause to these fearless warriors among you, and thank them for their contributions to the base regardless of their own personal lives!" ā
"Bang Bang!" As Xu Renjie's words fell, there was a burst of warm applause in the stands.
Whether the applause was genuine or not, all in all, the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic.
This can't help but make the young Wang Qiang, Wu Chao, and Hot Spring Xin a little smug, after all, being a hero is every man's dream, and being "worshipped" by everyone like this is a dreamy and unforgettable thing.
After the applause, Xu Renjie reiterated the recruitment policy of the base, and he also hoped that everyone could actively participate in this task like the above two teams, and contribute their due strength to the future of the base and the future of mankind.
Tang Xiaoquan looked at Xu Renjie on the rostrum indifferently, there was no trace of waves on his face, but in his heart, he had already been impressed by the "means" of the man in his eyes.
In his opinion, the rally organized by Xu Renjie today is by no means as simple as saying two things on the surface.
This can be seen from his way of dealing with "suppressing first and then promoting", and he wants to convey two ideas to the survivors attending the meeting through these two events.
First, crisis thinking;
Second, the idea of self-help;
And there is no doubt that these two ideas are undoubtedly the most lacking in the entire base at the moment, because living under the high walls for a long time has worn away the sharpness of the hearts of the people here.
Maybe they are still alive, maybe they can live for a long time, but if they continue to follow the rules like this, like parasites, then sooner or later they will become like zombies outside the wall, "walking dead" with empty bodies and no thoughts.
In this regard, Xu Renjie, as a manager, naturally can't let this kind of thing happen, he needs to give these people who are desperate to survive some warning and expectations, he needs to let them know that if they want to live in this last world, they must work together! Must fight! You have to contribute!
And what happened in the past two squads undoubtedly gave him the opportunity to make a "fuss", although it is a bit inappropriate to say so.
But it is undeniable that Xu Renjie's approach does reveal such a meaning.
The two squads were defeated one by one, and the result of such a refutation just matched Xu Renjie's thoughts.
So the latter took this opportunity not only to mourn the second squad that died, but also to commend the triumphant third squad.
In addition to this, it is more important to convey ideas and awareness.
This is also the reason why Tang Xiaoquan admires Xu Renjie so much.
After all, if you want to do such a seamless and three-pronged thing, it is by no means something that anyone can think of and do.
It's just that Tang Xiaoquan obviously underestimated Xu Renjie's ability, because what the latter is doing today in addition to the points he analyzed above, also implies a greater intention:
That is Xu Renjie preparing and paving the way for his future "big plan".
It is important to know that the reason why the project is called "big" is not only because of its size, but more importantly, because of the large number of people involved in it.
And Xu Renjie just wants to take advantage of the different circumstances of the two teams to make the other people in the base feel a sense of crisis, and make them take the initiative to invest in the construction of the base in order to obtain more living materials.
It's a pity that the long-standing "salted fish thought" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is definitely not something that Xu Renjie can shake lightly with one or two words of "ulterior motives".
So, soon, life in the gymnasium returned to the boredom of the past, and the glorious deeds of the "second and third squads", which were still talked about by the survivors in the first few days, gradually faded out of people's sight.
And Lao Zhao and his entourage have also kept a relatively low profile in the past few days, they did not go out on any more missions, but stayed in the gymnasium according to Tang Xiaoquan's plan.
After all, the threat of Scarface's gang is still there, so as a last resort, as long as the supplies can keep up, it is better for them to stay at the base as much as possible.
The days are passing day by day in this discipline, and the survivors have no expectations for Xu Renjie's so-called "big plan" at all.
Rao is relatively indifferent, and Tang Xiaoquan is also quite disappointed in the latter after a long fruitless wait.
You must know that the construction and development of the base, if a team like them alone goes out to "make a small fuss", it is simply impossible to sustain it.
Tang Xiaoquan even began to consider whether he should leave early before the base deteriorated further, so as not to "harm the pond fish" when he fell.
After all, no one can predict what "earth-shattering" things the hungry people will do when the base can't even provide the people with "clear soup and little water".
However, Tang Xiaoquan's worries seemed to be a little premature, because just when he was worried about the future of the base, Xu Renjie, who had been inactive for a long time, suddenly started to act.
On this day, Lao Zhao, as usual, was doing sports on the court with his brothers.
Luo Yi walked over with a stern face and informed him to go to the base headquarters.
In this regard, Zhao Yunhai himself did not consider the "big plan", because the matter had passed for too long, so that he instinctively forgot about it.
However, when he entered the players' lounge, pushed through the door of the headquarters, and saw Scarface standing inside, he suddenly realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.
Could it be that Xu Renjie is going to do a big deal?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunhai's heart, which had been dead for a long time, was finally awakened again
