"If you want to guide those who are homeless, you need to start from three aspects!" Lin Yue said: "First, guide them to expand outward. There is still a blank space between our surrounding area and the densely populated area, and although it won't be long before the crowds will expand to our side, there are still a few days to go, and that empty space still has a certain amount of prey. Of course, most people will automatically expand outward after they can't find food, but there are still some people who only know how to compete for other people's food and don't know how to expand outward, and this kind of people need to be guided. ”

After a pause, Lin Yue continued: "Second, guide them to hunt fierce beasts. Although the prey in this vicinity is basically hunted, there are still some ferocious predators that can be hunted as long as a sufficient number of people are gathered; Third, learning the spirit of the Long March, gnawing tree roots and eating tree bark, this is also the last way they can survive, of course, this is just an exaggeration, with the current climate there are still wild vegetables to eat. ”

"Wouldn't they think of these three things?" The crowd was a little puzzled.

"Some people will think that but the vast majority of people have basically lost their rationality when they are hungry, and coupled with the instigation of some well-intentioned people, they often only choose to compete for other people's food. That's why I said I needed guidance. ”

The guidance of the three aspects mentioned by Lin Yue seems very simple, but it is actually extremely troublesome to do, first of all, most of the people outside the Yuandong have their own collectives, and it is actually difficult to intervene between them if they want to arrange someone to guide them.

After some discussion, a plan was finally decided, first to temporarily hold the wall, wait until the famine began to appear for a while, take out some food from the Yuandong, and carry it out by the leading team, and use it as capital to gather those people.

The number of people has also been decided, and the three guide teams each have more than 30 people, who are responsible for guiding outward expansion, hunting beasts and gathering wild vegetables. Because there is a high risk of being attacked, this is led by a more experienced hunter or army member. Among them, Liao Huan led a team to expand, Lin Yue led a team to hunt, and Yang Qing led a team to gather. In Yuandong, Zheng Hai and Zhao Minghui controlled the internal affairs, and Zhao Longtao and Chu Yang led the team to guard the wall.

After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed, only Zheng Hai leaned towards Lin Yue and said in a low voice: "Lin Yue, you tell me honestly, you actually already have the bottom of these plans in your own heart, right?" ”

Lin Yue smiled and nodded.

"Then why do you still have to call the members to the meeting, isn't it a waste of time, you see we talked about it for hours, and in the end it was mainly based on your plan, and what was really discussed was just some small arrangements." Zheng Hai was very puzzled.

After listening to Zheng Hai's story, Lin Yue patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Lao Zheng, do you know why I want to make this so-called meeting." In fact, with my own ability, I am confident that I can come up with the best plan in the shortest possible time. ”

"Then why are you still ......?"

"Because of the human heart!" Lin Yue sighed lightly and said: "In the end, most of us are still immersed in the civilized mentality of the earth, and the idea of democracy has taken root in their hearts, so everyone still naturally resists dictatorship, even if my leader is strong in his own ability, if I am arbitrary, they will definitely resist."

As you saw just now, as soon as I put forward the plan for iron-blooded defense in a meeting of 25 people, many people immediately opposed it, and you can imagine how they would react if this plan was put in front of the eyes of 500 people at once? At the end of the day, I'm just going to hold meetings to calm people. ”

Zheng Hai's eyes widened, and he couldn't have imagined that this so-called meeting actually played a role in this regard.

"The discussion of the meeting is just an illusion, the real effect is that I put forward my personal ideas, convince the members of the meeting, and then these members will convince others, that's all!"

Zheng Hai thought carefully about all the previous meetings and found that this was really the case. When the meeting is carried out, everyone often talks about it and I say it, and in the end, Mao can't settle down, and it is really Lin Yue who really decides the content. In the final analysis, the convening of the conference is to satisfy everyone's right to speak, and the so-called democracy in the depths of the heart. Including Zheng Hai himself is no exception.

"That'...... If there is no meeting...... "Zheng Hai suggested a possibility.

"I also want not to hold this so-called meeting, but imagine that if I use personal force to make everyone follow my instructions, they may obey in times of crisis, but some people will plant complaints in their hearts, and when the crisis passes, these people will confront you, question you, and even make small moves in private, so that you can't be guarded."

At this moment, Zheng Hai completely understood, and couldn't help but give Lin Yue a thumbs up, praising Lin Yue for thinking long enough, Lin Yue smiled bitterly, the situation became like this, and he had no choice but to do so.

On the seventeenth day after the Great Crossing, a famine broke out.

At this time, the people around Yuandong were basically in a panic, and some people may be able to stabilize the ravages of the virus before, but in the face of famine, these people are completely helpless. Within the scope of a single unit mountain, there are only four or five collectives left in the real sense, and excluding Yuandong, the number of other collectives is nearly 100 people, relying on the food hoarded before to make a living.

If there are no accidents, it is no problem for these collectives to survive for about ten days with their own hoarding of food, but how can others allow them to eat alone.

At this time, in another cave five kilometers away from Yuandong, there was another collective living here, the number of which was more than 120 people, led by Lin Yue, a vice principal of their school, named Wu Hang, very dignified, and a few teachers led many students to handle their collectives in an orderly manner.

When the famine came, Wu Hang also smelled the crisis and organized the students to build a wall, but due to lack of manpower and limited time, the wall had not yet been built, and the hungry crowd had already surged.

"What are you doing!" Wu Hang looked at the menacing more than 100 people, even if he was as stable as Mount Tai in the past, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, but this is definitely not the time to show weakness, Wu Hang raised the majesty he was when he was the vice principal, and roared with wide eyes: "This is our territory, what do you want to do!" ”

The rioting crowd was also led by a few teachers, and in the face of this so-called vice principal, they didn't pay attention to it at the moment, didn't pay attention to it, and shouted directly: "Take out all the food!" ”

"yes, get all the food out!" More than a hundred people shouted in a mess.

"We have hunted and gathered it ourselves, why should we give it to you!" Behind Wu Hang, a tall student roared loudly.

"What do you have to say to them, just rush in and grab the food!" A voice rang out from the rioting crowd, and the others immediately had no worries, and rushed towards the cave with their weapons in hand. If Lin Yue was here at this moment, he would have found that the one who incited the crowd to grab food was Sun Ling, who had left the Yuan Cave before.

Seeing these people rushing over irrationally, Wu Hang also relented, and shouted at a few teachers around him: "Teacher Liu, you take people to protect food, and the others block the gap in the wall, come and kill one by one!" With that, he swung a wooden hammer tied to a stone and struck it at one of the students who rushed towards him, and the student immediately broke his head and bled and fell to the ground.

Although the wall on the side of the cave forces has not yet been built, it has begun to take shape, and it can still be used as a basis for defense. Therefore, more than 30 people were injured and fell to the ground in the crowd that soon attacked, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Perhaps fearing death, or perhaps feeling hopeless of attacking, the rioting crowd quickly retreated and left the cave.

Wu Hang watched these people go away, his face full of bitterness, because he knew that this was only the first wave, and soon more people would come to fight for their food.

"Principal Wu, we can't go on like this, why don't we transfer?" After repelling the rioting crowd, a teacher came to Wu Hang's side and said softly: "This attack has already destroyed most of our wall, and it can't be built without three or two days of effort." ”

Wu Hang didn't answer immediately, he looked at the many bodies lying on the ground, and frowned tightly. Most of those who fell to the ground were still alive, and most of them had just passed out. If it belonged to Wu Hang and his collective, Wu Hang would naturally arrange for someone to take care of them, but most of those who fainted on the ground were attackers of the rioting crowd, and they were also fainted here. At this moment, Wu Hang is faced with a dilemma, is it to save them, but at the same time he has to consume more food, or to lose his conscience and ignore them?

"Principal Wu, are you thinking about the belonging of these people?" After a female teacher wearing glasses organized the students to rescue their injured companions, she asked Wu Hang, "To be honest, I think we should ignore them, our food is really not enough!" ”

There is no systematic management of their collective for the time being, it is a small collective led by the most dignified vice principal Wu Hang and managed by several teachers, and the students are also used to obeying the teacher's instructions, so naturally they don't feel anything, so the actual leader of this collective is Wu Hang, and he has the final say in the collective affairs.

Wu Hang still didn't answer the female teacher's statement, but said expressionlessly: "Let's rescue our injured classmates first." ”
