Chapter 60: Persuasion
Away from the Grand Canyon settlement, where you turn into a shortcut dirt road, the former road has long been hidden under the dust. After the convoy entered the dirt road, Qiu Guorui took a few people, left a car, and began to clean the traces of the convoy. There will be a convoy of people following behind, and if you don't cover up the convoy's tracks, they may find the shortcut. When the time comes, there will be more caravans running this dirt road, which will definitely attract the attention of the zombie group, and it will become a dead end again.
After leaving the road, the convoy released the forty-three people tied to the car while waiting for Qiu Guorui and them to return.
Most of these people are old, and the oldest ones are already from their grandfather's generation. I was tied up for four or five hours, my hands and feet were already numb, and when I was helped out of the car one by one, I was all unsteady on my feet, and I sat back in the sand. They were furious, but they didn't care about the people with guns around them, and they all started scolding.
Before the end of the world, they were all elites in various industries, most of them were engaged in research work, and their status was high, even ordinary officials were respectful when they saw them. But in the last days, everything has changed, of course they are lucky, they can also work in the authorities of the settlement, and those who are not lucky must rely on their own hands to hunt the crystals of zombies, and struggle to go down the clouds in this last days.
The lack of the necessary industrial base and a large amount of research equipment also determined that they were like powerless scholars, useless.
A few years of eschatological life have worn out a lot of their arrogance, but they still have their pride. So seeing this scolding side, of course Zhou Yuanqiang stood up with a smile, these are his future subordinates, if they can't let them dissipate their anger, they will finally affirm themselves and want them to contribute, but it will be a little difficult.
"Old-timers, I'm sorry for you and invited you out in this way." As soon as Zhou Yuanqiang came up, he put on a sincere appearance, corrected his identity as a junior, and then continued: "I know that all the old-timers are former professionals in various industries, so I naturally admire them. In this last days, I finally have some ability, and I am thirsty for talent, so I have to make this decision and invite you out. ”
Relying on Zhou Yuanqiang's words alone, it is really difficult to convince the other party, but Zhou Yuanqiang also explained here, and did not continue to argue with them on this issue, but pointed to the way he came, and said: "This is more than 30 kilometers away from the Grand Canyon, and there are zombies all the way. ”
Thinking of them, all of them looked like they were empty-handed and bare-fisted, how could they return to the Grand Canyon settlement safely? This paragraph of his own is more of a threat.
"Of course, if you follow me to the wasteland settlement, I can guarantee that you will no longer have to fight zombies for a meal, and you will not need to worry about your own safety. I can promise you that when the time comes, not only will you be able to eat and live well, but you will also be able to continue your research work and do what interests you. ”
Zhou Yuanqiang's promise is definitely not small, and the people who were still a little angry also calmed down and looked at Zhou Yuanqiang in dismay.
An old man in his sixties walked out of the crowd, he took off his glasses, gently wiped the dust on the lenses, put them back on, and said lightly: "Young man, do you know what you mean by this?" Now that the city is full of zombies, how can you help us get the research equipment we need? When people are old, their lifelong interests really can't be changed, so if you can really let me go through research work and follow you, what's the matter? ”
Seeing the other party say this, and then seeing that the other party still retains the scholarly atmosphere in the last days, you know that it is a person with a university question. "I don't know your surname, old man?"
The old man smiled and said: "When people are old, they are a little confused, it seems to be called Wanzhong Mountain, it used to be designed by aviation, but now, it is really useless, I can only help design some small electronic devices, ashamed, ashamed!" ”
Aeronautical design? Damn, this is a bull B's profession, no wonder the other party will question his commitment. You must know that in aviation design, there are so many research equipment involved, which is simply not what Zhou Yuanqiang can do now, such as a test wind tunnel, unless Zhou Yuanqiang goes to rob one back, otherwise how can it be built without technology? This is just one of the huge number of basic equipment, and it also needs a lot of various research laboratories, if it is really possible to let Wanzhongshan do whatever he wants, it must need a complete aviation design and manufacturing system, which is really not something that Zhou Yuanqiang can do.
However, if you can't do it now, it doesn't mean that you can't do it in the future, the conditions are for people to overcome, and if you add the same thing, there will always be a perfect day.
"Senior Wan, what you hope may not be able to be done now, but at least I will help you do it in the future. At the beginning of the founding of our country, wasn't it also poor and white? But the same is the development of its own aviation business. Although it is the end of the world now, I don't know how many times better the foundation is than before, not to mention far away, just SX City, which is not far from us, has a relatively complete aviation foundation. If we take a long-term view, we can even go north to Russia and cross the Pacific Ocean in the east to snatch back their advanced equipment. When the time comes, why don't we worry about not having equipment? ”
Wan Chongshan looked at Zhou Yuanqiang with some consternation, and suddenly laughed, and said: "Very good, young man, just have courage, I am waiting for the day when you return the equipment and guns of the United States, so that I can see what kind of research equipment representing the highest technology of aviation is." ”
Wan Chongshan is a master veteran in aviation design, and he has a pivotal position in this group of people. Therefore, with the consent of Wan Chongshan, no one jumped out again, all of them took the dry food and water prepared by Zhou Yuanqiang, and rested and drank on the spot. In fact, as long as you figure it out, there is no need to resist, where is not life? Today's world is not a world you can choose, and maybe following the young man in front of you is not necessarily a bad thing.
The return trip was a little faster than when I came, and I didn't encounter a group of zombies, and after passing through the place where the encounter was fought, the zombies on it turned into a dry corpse after almost a week of sun roasting. The rotting flesh was already foul-smelling, and after such exposure to the sun, the stench was so strong that it almost made the convoy vomit.
After hurrying through the area, I arrived at a place where the wind was downwind, and the smell was not smelled. Zhou Yuanqiang thought with some malice: This highway is full of zombie corpses, in this kind of exposed weather, the stench is incomparably high along the way, plus the high temperature, will anyone be unbearable and stunned by these smells? As long as he thinks about this terrible scene, Zhou Yuanqiang is extremely glad that he was lucky to be able to meet Ren Xinyun and know the existence of this land.
Starting in the morning, probably because of the familiarity with the road conditions, in the evening, the convoy left the dirt road and restarted on the road.
It is less than 30 kilometers away from the wasteland settlement, and the speed of driving on the road can be reached in more than half an hour, so there is no need to camp and rest overnight.
(Let's count the votes, I can't even catch up with the second place in the classification weekly point, I'm a little disappointed, you must know that theirs is on the shelves.) If you have a vote, vote for this book! )
