Chapter XXIII

Although the scale of this riot attack was several hundred, there were no more than 10 people killed, but many people were injured.

Just as Wu Hang was struggling with whether to save the injured attackers, a student in charge of patrolling hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Headmaster, someone is coming here again!" ”

Wu Hang and the others suddenly widened their eyes and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"Not much, just more than thirty!"

Wu Hang breathed a sigh of relief, and then he ordered a vigilance, leading the few people who could still fight to stay within the wall.

Soon more than 30 people appeared in front of them, led by a young man with a backpack, when he approached the wall fifteen meters, he waved his hand to stop the people behind him from continuing to advance, and then shouted towards the wall: "Friends inside, we are the hunting team of Yuandong, we have no malicious intentions, and at the same time we also have something to tell you, can you ask the leader of your collective to come out and talk?" ”

"Yuandong?" Wu Hang, who was guarding the inside of the wall, was a little puzzled. A male teacher next to him turned his head and said to him: "It's a group a few kilometers away, there are a lot of them, and it is said that the last time the disease broke out, they spread the news that the jelly body in the animal can save people." ”

Wu Hang immediately understood when he heard this, he walked out of the wall and shouted at the thirty or so people: "I am the leader here, what do you have to say?" ”

The young man unloaded his weapon and ordered the people behind him not to follow, then approached the wall, and said as he walked, "I am Lin Yue, the leader of Yuandong, you should be Principal Wu!" ”

Lin Yue's proximity immediately made the crowd inside the wall tense, and after the riot just now, they were very nervous about any disturbance. Wu Hang motioned for them not to mess around, then took a few steps forward and said, "That's right, I'm Wu Hang." ”

In a few steps, Lin Yue had already walked not far in front of Wu Hang, stopped, and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Principal Wu, we didn't have any other intention to come this time, we just wanted to discuss with you about the countermeasures for this famine." ”

"Discuss countermeasures?" Wu Hang's mind quickly turned a few times, and it didn't take long for him to immediately reply to Lin Yue with a smile: "It's nice to meet you, we are worried about how to survive this famine, hurry up and please!" ”

Hearing that Wu Hang was going to invite Lin Yue in, a student behind the wall immediately said, "No, principal, you can't let them in!" ”

Wu Hang immediately glared at him, and a teacher next to him also grabbed him, but the student continued without any concern: "What if you come in and steal our food? ”

Lin Yue remembered that this student, who seemed to be the vice president of their school's student union, named Hao Tianyu, was said to have a big personality and spoke straightforwardly, and he didn't know how he got into this position. Lin Yue didn't bother to dwell on this question, but responded to him with a faint smile: "This classmate, I understand your concerns very well, and to be honest, if a group of people want to enter our Yuan Cave, we will definitely stop it." So this time my people won't enter your territory, only me will be able to go in and talk. ”

Hao Tianyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shrugged his shoulders and said that he had no opinion.

Wu Hang was also very satisfied with Lin Yue's arrangement, and said, "I'm glad that you can understand our concerns, let's go in and talk about it quickly." ”

Lin Yue nodded and followed Wu Hang in. The more than thirty people on the periphery of the wall did not feel much worry about Lin Yue entering the wall alone, and the commander's skills were well known.

Lin Yue came over this time, and he did have important matters to discuss with Wu Hang and them collectively. Lin Yue planned to unite the remaining collectives around him to form a temporary alliance. Each group sent some people to assist the Yuandong hunting team in hunting or assisting the gathering team to collect together, and at the same time guided the rioters not to blindly attack others.

For Lin Yue's idea, Wu Hang expressed his full support, in fact, what he is most worried about now is not that the riot crowd will attack their cave, but that the stronger than them will take advantage of the fire to rob and rob their food, and now the largest number of people in Yuandong has made it clear that he wants to form an alliance, which makes Wu Hang feel a lot more relieved. However, Wu Hang couldn't completely believe Lin Yue's statement all at once, so he still had reservations in the discussion. For example, he has refused to disclose the exact number of people in their collective and the amount of food left.

Lin Yue didn't intend to make Wu Hang completely believe it all at once, and after simply saying the idea of the alliance, Lin Yue said to Wu Hang: "Principal Wu, the alliance I am talking about does not mean that we have to gather food or anything like that, the alliance only needs to send some people from each collective, and it is up to you to decide how many people." ”

Wu Hang nodded and asked, "Then how exactly will you guide the crowd after the alliance you are talking about?" ”

"I'm going to gather the rioting crowd." Lin Yue said: "Three kilometers east from here, there is a flat area, where I plan to gather the crowd!" ”

"Gather the crowd!" Hearing Lin Yue's idea, Wu Hang was suddenly a little surprised, he muttered for a while, and said: "I very much approve of your idea of wanting to help others, but the idea is still too simple, if so many unstable factors are gathered, something dangerous will definitely happen." ”

Lin Yue also understood Wu Hang's concerns, and he continued: "Principal Wu is right, there will definitely be some unexpected things happening when so many people are gathered, but if you think about it carefully, even if we don't gather them, when they are really hungry, they will automatically assemble, and more dangerous things will happen at that time." ”

Wu Hang was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and felt that this was indeed the truth.

"When I came here and saw a chaotic crowd moving away from here, and then I saw a lot of people lying around your wall, I knew there must have been a fight here, and they came to steal your food, right?"

Wu Hang nodded, sighed again and said: "That's true, after more than ten days of hunting, the prey around here has basically been killed, and those people should not be able to find food, so they aimed at our side." ”

"That's right!" Lin Yue picked up his words: "I think Principal Wu, you should also understand that this is just the beginning, and the more difficult it will be, if we don't do some measures now, I believe more people will attack." So no matter what accidents happen after gathering the crowd, we can control how much, if we let it go, once those crowds gather on their own, it is not something you and I can control. ”

Wu Hang fell silent when he heard this, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you, we don't have much way to retreat anyway." ”

After reaching an agreement, Lin Yue and his team left first and went to the next group. Lin Yue didn't ask Wu Hang to send people immediately, but after asking him to think about it carefully, if he felt at ease, he would send people over by himself to see the situation.

At this time, in the flat area three kilometers to the east, Yang Qing had already led the team to deal with the weeds and vacate an area. This area is the place where Lin Yue said that the crowd gathered, let's call it the alliance area.

When dealing with weeds, Yang Qing's team will also identify those wild vegetables that can satisfy hunger, although these wild vegetables cannot provide a lot of nutrients like rice or meat, but still contain a little bit of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Before, it was said that digging grass roots and eating tree bark, but that is also an exaggeration, if it is not in the winter when everything is silent, you don't have to eat grass roots and bark, these wild vegetables can also satisfy hunger.

But having said that, how many people are willing to eat these wild vegetables, anyway, Yang Qing thinks that it is difficult for her to do it, so it can be seen that unless it is a last resort, not many people are willing to eat this kind of thing.

After Lin Yue traveled several collectives to persuade them to form an alliance temporarily, he also came to the alliance area. With him, there were more than two dozen people from other collectives, and the collectives to which they belonged agreed to Lin Yue's alliance and sent some people to cooperate with Lin Yue's deployment.

At this time, a place to rest had been cleared in the alliance area, and Lin Yue asked everyone to sit down, he had something he wanted to tell them.

"As you should know, the few remaining collectives around Wonsan are now forming an alliance in the alliance area here to guide the hungry people to find food and prevent them from rioting or even attacking our respective collectives. In fact, in the end, we are still selfish, and the reason why this alliance can be formed is because the collective we belong to is afraid of being attacked by the rioting crowd. Of course, it is also our responsibility to save our former teachers and classmates. Lin Yue made a simple start, and then continued: "So I hope that everyone can do their best, not only for our own collective, but also for our classmates and teachers. If we do more, we may be able to prevent one person from dying in this famine. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Lin Yue's statement was reasonable and reasonable.

"Since it is an alliance, there needs to be a specific division of labor, mainly in five aspects: first, hunting beasts; second, to gather the few fruits or edible wild herbs that are left; thirdly, to build some infrastructure in the alliance zone that can be used for temporary habitation; Fourth, spread the word outwards and direct the hungry people to gather here. ”

"Since there is a high risk of riots or even riots among the crowds gathered here, there is a need for a large number of people to be stationed here in the Union Zone, which means that there needs to be a strict order. So, the fifth aspect is the army that maintains order! ”

"The army? Where did the army come from? The twenty or so other collectives were suddenly a little puzzled.

Lin Yue smiled slightly and said, "You'll understand later." ”
