Chapter 576: This Must Be a Conspiracy
In the last days, the Granite Shelter belongs to a small society with strong strength and cohesion in stockpiling supplies and establishing a management system early. The group of elders in the www.biquge.info shelter is composed of experienced veterans and social elites, who have long anticipated the situation they will face, and pay special attention to the reserve of medicine.
The shelter is not without medicine, and the number and level of doctors are quite high. However, as the external environment continued to deteriorate, the elders divided the personnel in the shelter into hierarchies, and the precious and scarce materials were only used by the high-ranking people, and the low-level personnel could only stand aside.
For example, Patty, who was traded out before, is a woman in her forties, she is not strong enough, she can't fight, and her skills are aviation dispatch at the airport. And there is no light of day in the underground shelter, what a ghost of aviation dispatch! This kind of useless person is naturally classified as the lowest level, and it is difficult to even eat well.
In the last days of the law of the jungle, what is most needed are strong warriors, farmers who produce food, and skilled doctors, and those who have mastered survival skills will be the priority to survive, and everyone else will stand aside.
After verifying the effects of norfloxacin, the Vault's doctor strongly advised the Presbyterian Church, "As cruel as it sounds, we unanimously demand that all useless people in the Vault be traded away in exchange for medicines and other scarce supplies.
There are now more than 300 patients in the hospital in the shelter, many of whom are key personnel who can fight after being cured. And this is only a serious illness, and many people with mild illnesses can only endure the pain to work.
Norfloxacin is effective for sensitive bacterial infections of the urinary system, digestive system, and respiratory system. This medicine is very versatile, and if we supplement it in large quantities, our condition can be greatly improved. ”
The doctors' words were earnest, even urgent, and many of the people in the shelter were suffering or taking their lives from ordinary ailments, and they could only do it in a hurry. Being able to buy medicine now is simply a blessing to God.
Once again, the members of the Elders decided that having medicine is equivalent to having a way to live, which is very helpful in stabilizing the hearts and minds of people in the shelter. However, Elder Joseph, who was in charge of the defense work, frowned very suspiciously and said, "Now no matter where it is, medicine is extremely valuable, why would this armed convoy make such a deal?" I think we should be more vigilant. ”
Under the mind of being extremely vigilant but thirsty for medicines, the follow-up 'personnel for medicines' transaction continued. The vault only changes a few people at a time, and asks for medicines that are currently in short supply, and the exchange is for useless people they don't need, who are a burden in their eyes.
However, the squad does not want everyone, and the butcher in charge of the matter will ask the person who is being pulled out of the transaction in detail. He doesn't care if the person being traded is thin or weak, he only cares about the skills that the other person has mastered.
"What is your profession?"
"Costume designer."
"Sorry, we don't need to design costumes."
"What is your profession?"
"******** has always been *** and has no other abilities?"
"Yes, I'm good at pleasing men. Sir, would you like to have a shot? ”
"No, we don't need people who only sell meat."
"What is your profession?"
"Mathematics professor. I'm a professor at the University of Washington, and I have mercy on me, because I can't do much work when I'm old, but I don't have much to eat. I will always be needed to rebuild civilization in the future, and you will definitely have a place where you can use me. ”
"Oh...... don't worry, we love professors, especially professors in the natural sciences. We are willing to pay double the price for you, and you will be treated well. ”
In just half a day's effort, two or three hundred people were sold in this population transaction. Some of those who were really useless were returned, but a number of high-level intellectuals and professional skills were happily taken in by the task force.
This information was reported back by the Vault soldiers who escorted the deal, and immediately caused a stir within the Vault. The underground life lasted for more than half a year, and many people's spirits became depressed and depressed, and suddenly there were forces willing to take away some seemingly useless people by peaceful means, which immediately became a topic of discussion.
"Will the redeemed be eaten?"
"Maybe the gang is trying to buy a group of slaves."
"I've heard that these people look fierce, not like good people."
The initial speculation was always accompanied by various biases and misgivings, but soon the situation changed. Zhou Qingfeng is very good at impressing people through small details, and he orders that after each transaction, the guards of the shelter should be given a little benefit.
A few cigarettes, a box of chocolates, or even half a bottle of liquor. These things may seem inconspicuous, but they have gained an unimaginable sensation. It sent at least one message - the armed convoy was generous and there was no shortage of food.
"How can they not be short of food?" Elder Joseph looked at the chocolate in his hand with puzzlement, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. The Caribbean is rich in cocoa and cane sugar, and food factories in Havana are trying to produce chocolate from stock ingredients. This chocolate is so sweet that it's greasy.
But this greasy chocolate has become a necessity for heat supply in field warfare, and even Elder Joseph himself has not eaten sweets for a long time. When the sweetness diffused in his mouth, the elder himself was inexplicably moved.
Sweetness is a basic taste sensation, and it symbolizes beauty in food cultures all over the world. Eating sweets relieves stress and brings a sense of well-being. The human brain is extremely happy when it tastes sweet.
In the enclosed environment of the shelter, alcohol, tobacco and sweets are hard currency that is irresistible. The soldiers at the Vault were wary of making deals with the squad at first, but soon they were scrambling to get out of the vault and make contact with the squad in order to get a gift. In order to get a place for escort, the soldiers even had a fight.
"Enough, give me peace." Elder Joseph could only suppress the chaos by intervening himself, and his gray hair was extremely angry, "This must be a conspiracy, and the opponent is using such small means to destroy our internal unity. If we don't unite, that armed convoy will easily defeat us.
And you were so easily fooled, I'm so ashamed of you. Refuge is fundamental to our survival and the source of our attacks. This must be the enemy, who found that it was impossible to defeat us by force, and turned to a different approach. We must not fight over this. ”
The rioting soldiers calmed down, recalling that in recent months they had indeed been constantly attacked, and that they were well aware that they would not be able to survive without shelter. So they accepted Elder Joseph's words, and several of the soldiers who led the troubles even wept bitterly to express their repentance.
"Don't worry, we've seen through the other side's scheme, and we can restrain the enemy in turn. Don't they want a human trade? We're good to go. We've sent out more than 240 people, and I'm going to decide to send out the same number of people again.
By sending out 500 people, we will reduce the burden by one-eighth, and we will also receive medicines that are in short supply. This will greatly improve the living conditions in our shelters, and we will live better and longer. ”
Elder Joseph concluded with optimism and firmness, "I will personally lead the team to send people out, all at once." Then we will refuse to engage with the other side, and the enemy's plans will be completely frustrated. They don't want to take advantage of us. ”
The short speech was infectious, and for a moment the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted and the cheers were thunderous. (To be continued.) )
