Chapter 70: Forces
"Chen Xiaofei, you pick someone to cook with you! Let's have a full meal! ”
The half-corpse man said to Chen Xiaofei, who had a big belly.
"Yes, big brother!"
Chen Xiaofei responded, pointing out a few stout women from the crowd and leading them into the makeshift kitchen in the room.
In about half an hour, a dozen poke rice porridge was carried into the hall, followed by a dozen pots of just cooked chicken, which was cut to the thickness of a little finger.
"Men, women, and children come in their own ranks to eat."
Under the leadership of Chen Xiaofei, several cooks began to cook for the people in the hall.
Two pieces of chicken per person, plus a large bowl of thick white rice porridge, it didn't take long for everyone in the hall to lick the bowl clean, looking at the half-corpse with their eyes.
"There is a limit of two per person, don't cut the line."
As soon as the half-corpse finished speaking, the survivors in the field had already stood up and rushed towards the place where the food was fought.
Fortunately, the half-corpse man fired in time to stop the possible riot.
After two meals, the survivors who had been plagued by hunger for a long time were still greedily looking at the rice bucket in front of Chen Xiaofei, but more than a dozen mobilized soldiers with guns were scattered throughout the hall and looked at them, even the brave did not dare to be confused.
On the children's side, one food distribution was enough for them to fill their stomachs, but the hunger pang made them lick their rice bowls and continue to eat.
Bai Yi didn't stop this scene when he saw this, after long-term hunger, eating a lot of food will cause serious damage to the body, but this is only before the end of the world, after the end of the world, the immunity and resistance of the survivors have been enhanced to a certain extent.
For example, diseases such as gastroenteritis caused by unhygienic or overly irritating food before the end of the world, he really did not see anyone who had it among the survivors he met after the end of the world.
Even some common illnesses such as colds, fevers, infections and inflammation have never been encountered by Bai Yi, which also means that the survival chances of survivors after the end of the world have increased significantly, which means that he has less trouble gathering survivors.
After Chen Xiaofei took the cook and the others to clean up, the half-corpse man picked five people to ask about the situation here.
The survivor who had a full meal with the half-corpse man did not hide it, and told the situation here very neatly.
Due to the low population density and topography of the county, there are many people who have survived, and there are seven or eight large and small survivor groups in the area at the bottom of the mountain alone, with a total of nearly 1,000 people.
And on the Grand Canyon in the middle of the three mountain ranges, there are nearly 2,000 survivors, and there are two other forces in the mountain range, 600 and 300 respectively.
What made Bai Yi feel even more complicated was that among the dozen or so forces around Mine County, there were as many as four evolutionary forces, and the number of evolutionaries was about seven or eight, of which there were three evolutionaries among the two thousand forces.
"Less than two months after the disaster struck, these people have already set themselves up as kings?"
The half-corpse man asked at Bai Yi's behest.
As the one who knows the most, Chen Bin rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart, aren't you too? replied honestly: "Originally, we were with Chang...... Chang Xin was hiding in the Grand Canyon, there were more than a thousand survivors in the Grand Canyon at that time, until half a month after the disaster, several evolutionaries in the Grand Canyon got a radio station, and the search for federal rescue was not found, but they contacted a mysterious person, and the mysterious person said that the order had long collapsed, and there would be no rescue at all, and everyone considered it separately, and then, within a few days, the evolutionary at that time in the Grand Canyon refused to find food for others for free, and Chang Xin brought some of us over. ”
Chen Bin continued: "The terrain within a radius of dozens of miles is good, and there are not many people, and many survivors came over within a month after we went down the mountain. ”
"Then how do you know how many people are in the other forces?"
The half-corpse man said coldly.
"This is a mining county, surrounded by mountains, the signal is particularly bad, before the end of the world, the federal official in order to ensure the timely rescue of the mine collapse, specially set up two signal towers, many family members have divided the contact device to match the signal tower, after the end of the world, someone repaired the signal tower, and now a radius of dozens of miles, can be contacted through the previous contact."
Chen Bin explained.
Kindness? Bai Yi was a little surprised, and then realized, "Your food was brought by these people, right?" ”
The food here, all sorts of things, will never be able to be collected here in the mines.
"Well, those people who escaped from the villages and towns all brought food, and after arriving here, Chang Xin asked everyone to hand over their food uniformly, only in this way can we avoid excessive waste and cause famine in the future."
What Chen Bin said is very reasonable, but it hides an exculpation.
Originally, Bai Yi couldn't tell if this guy was hiding it, after all, people who can climb to a high position in the workplace, especially in a sales company like health care products, if he has the intention to lie, he can't detect it at all.
But Chen Bin's answer made Bai Yi have a definition in his heart, the food brought by the individual is handed over, and everyone eats it uniformly, and Chen Bin and Chang Xin have healthy faces, but those outsiders who come with food are full of dishes, such an operation is not difficult to understand.
Thinking of the harmony in the hall when they came, singing and dancing, and some people saying that they were called by Chang Xin for rescue, it is not difficult to guess Chang Xin's way of survival.
Use the liaison to send messages to the survivors in the town and village, waiting for someone to touch the place, with the experience and new identity of these people, it is not difficult to fool the others, and use the food brought by others to support their own descendants.
It's just that this way of survival is not a long-term solution after all, Bai Yi doesn't believe that people like Chang Xin will be so short-sighted, and there will definitely be something hidden in it.
Bai Yi looked at Chen Bin with a smile, thinking about it inwardly, and finally gave up his plan to torture and interrogate.
For now, it is better to continue with his plan, and Bai Yi is not too worried about the many forces here that Chen Bin said.
This is Qin Di, the gun control is strict, not everyone can get a large number of automatic rifles like a half-corpse, and he now has two evolutionaries in his hands, and the little milk dog is a first-level mutant beast, plus the ammunition is sufficient, it is not difficult to deal with these people.
After all, the forces that have just gathered after the end of the world, as long as the leader dies, the rest of the people will just fall and scatter.
After taking Chen Bin to collect the contacts in the room, Bai Yi motioned to the half-corpse man to assign tasks to everyone in the hall.
It's already afternoon, and it's not the time for the final step of the plan, but there's still a lot to be assigned to these people.
The men, led by a few mobilized soldiers, carried the stones and made a simple construction of the entrance to the quarry, giving it some defense.
Women and children over the age of 10 should be led by Chen Xiaofei to look for some edible wild vegetables on the side of the mountain.
Only two mobilized soldiers were left in the room area, keeping their vigilance.
