"Wait! If you don't want to stay, you don't need to stay. They will send you home, you just need to tell them the address, if you don't know the address of your home either, they will send you to the nearest bank, don't you know the consortium? I guess the bank is the closest place to the consortium. After Jiang Sen finished speaking, the two soldiers didn't care about the woman's screams at all, and left with the woman in their arms. There was no one in the whole hall who came out to resist, and everyone lowered their heads and ate the rice in their bowls.

"This is the man for whom Robert gave his life!" After the woman's screams disappeared, Jiang Sen's sarcasm echoed in the hall, so everyone put down their chopsticks, and one of them stood up and said: "I am the elite of this society, there are experts in medicine, there are experts in architecture, there are experts in mechanics, we are not waste!" ”

"Starting tomorrow, I'm sorry, all of you are just the most basic labor force in my eyes, I don't care how high your previous education is, how powerful you are in your respective academic fields, you have to work for me, this is your last free meal, tomorrow you need to go outside the house to set up a tent, you need to work, I want to build fortifications in the small building first, this is your opportunity to work." , Jiang Sen doesn't plan to raise waste, and as for the secret shelter behind the small building, Jiang Sen doesn't plan to accept this group of pretentious and lofty sons of heaven like this.

In the early morning, the sun climbed over the hill and illuminated the ruined city of Houston, in a small building in the mountains on the northern outskirts of the city, Li Tao, who was on night duty with two soldiers on the rooftop, got up from his chair and stretched comfortably towards the rising sun, and the four soldiers at the door were guarding in front of two heavy machine guns, and the occupants of each room in the house had woken up.

The kitchen is still forbidden as usual, but now the kitchen is only guarded by a soldier, and everyone can still see Yan Juan who is busy in the kitchen and Chen Jing who is helping when they pass by.

Everyone sat comfortably at the table in the hall after washing, waiting for the meal.

Yan Juan brought out bowls of rice porridge from the kitchen, and soon the dining table belonging to the core members of the team was full of rice, very simple, one bowl of rice porridge per person, two steamed buns and a few plates of pickles for rice. But the other survivors sitting at the large table did not wait for the breakfast of their dreams.

The experiences of these survivors are different, those survivors who do not have a high degree are very grateful to Jiang Sen and others, if it weren't for the extremely terrifying fate that Jiang Sen was waiting for them, so they didn't look forward to breakfast too much, and those who joined later because they lived in the last days for a while, so they knew that Xiaolou was now safe and precious, but there were many people who followed Robert to live in this small building when the disaster broke out, They had always thought that they were superior, and they couldn't bear that Jiang Sen and the others had the right to enjoy breakfast than them, so a fat man walked over, looked at the table with a frown, looked around at everyone again, and asked in a majestic tone unique to high-ranking people: "Why don't we have breakfast?" Who is responsible here? ”

Jiang Sen glanced at him and ignored him.

Zhang Derun spoke: "Do you think someone will come to save you?" And then, like the woman yesterday, you also have a consortium background? ”

"Someone will definitely come to save us, I don't know if what the woman said yesterday is true, but it is impossible for the US military to give up such a big city, and this is an American aviation city, there are many valuable things here, such as me."

This fat man followed Robert to this small building at the beginning of the disaster, and was lucky to be isolated from the world and was also taken care of by Robert, who only knew from the words of the guards that there was a riot outside, but did not know that the whole world was no longer what he imagined, and always believed that the government was still working.

He knew the woman from last night and last night, and hated her actions, but he thought that woman was a rich piece of waste, and he was an engineer at the Houston Rocket Center, and he deserved to be cared for, not in particular, but in the most basic way.

Jiang Sen calmly looked at the fat man with a confident face, his eyes full of pity.

Not only him, but the rest of the core members of the team also focused their eyes on the fat man. There is indifference, ridicule, ridicule, and blandness, emotion, and sadness.

"Hey! I ask you! Who is responsible here? ”

The fat man is very dissatisfied with the situation of being snubbed by himself. He slammed his palm on the table angrily, repeating the questions he had asked before, but no one had answered.

"Why isn't there breakfast?"

"Why should you have breakfast?" Jiang Sen put down his chopsticks and asked quietly.

"Me! I! I! ”。 For fat men, it's like "who am I?" is simple but impossible to answer.

"We're going to deal with Robert publicly after dinner in a while, you come with him, he has the patience to take care of you, sorry I didn't!" After Jiang Sen finished speaking, two soldiers dragged him away.

"What do you want to do? I'm going to sue you! You, you can't.. You don't have the right to do that! The fat man who was dragged out howled like a pig.

There was a dead silence in the small building.

Jiang Sen turned around and looked around at the quiet crowd.

"I don't like to solve problems in a violent way. But I believe that violence is the best way to solve the problem, as I said yesterday, you need to use labor to get your own food, this is a very simple economic theory, I need simple labor, you provide simple labor, we pay you, you provide us with simple labor! Jiang Sen pointed to his brain, raised his voice and continued: "As for your new mental work, I'm sorry, I don't need it!" understand！！ ”

Jiang Sen's last word shook the rest of the hall.

The indifferent gaze slowly swept over everyone, and Jiang Sen's voice was still calm: "Now, there are military tents piled up at the door, you have an hour to pack your things, clean your room, leave here, and set up your tent outside." I don't care what you once had, how noble your status was, as long as you are here, you must obey my orders and obey my arrangements. You'd better memorize every word I say, because I won't repeat it a second time, and I don't have the patience to tolerate anyone making the same mistake. Of course, if you can't accept it, then you can leave now. ”

Jiang Sen pointed to the fat man who was standing at the door viciously, and said in a very cold tone: "As for him, I'm sorry, he can't leave, I'm going to kill him, I need to stand up in front of you." ”

No one spoke, everyone was smart, and the taste of rice was much better than that of human flesh.

"It may be a mistake for us to accept them." , Li Tao looked at the people who were busy at the beginning and was very dissatisfied.

"Robert is a great man, and I can give them a chance for him, and if these can be left behind, they will be important to us, and we do need them." , Jiang Sen sat down and spoke.

"Maybe they've been living with Robert here since the beginning, and Robert has been so nice to them that they've taken them out of reality, and we need to make them aware of the objective reality." , The old man Wang Zhenye put down his chopsticks and looked at the crowd that had walked out of the door.

"They're all smart people. When we have restored the most basic order, we will let them into the city, and they themselves should open their eyes and take a good look. ”

Soon, the people in the house finished breakfast, Chen Jing and Chen Ying, two sisters, went into the kitchen to clean up their rice bowls, and the people who were just studying how to set up a tent at the door were called up by the soldiers, and then Jiang Sen took Zhang Nan out with the people in the house, and everyone stood in front of a grave, and in front of the grave kneeled Robert and the fat man, both of whom were covered with their mouths, and Jiang Sen was going to let them speak.

"Bang!" "Bang! Jiang Sen didn't speak, nodded to Luan Yue, the boy shot, this was the first time the boy killed someone.

The sound of gunfire echoed through the valley, and there were no words, and the two bodies fell on their knees on the grave, and everyone knew what was buried in the grave, and no one spoke.

For the morning, rows of gray-green military tents were set up on the hillside, and through the half-covered waterproof curtains, you could see that there were neatly arranged camp beds, bedding, and various personal belongings.

Soldiers sent into the city brought back truckloads of building materials, and the open space more than 50 meters to the south was filled with sand and gravel and bags of cement. They are covered with tarpaulin, and drainage ditches are dug into the ground around them. Several rut marks stretch from afar, connecting the field to the road. Occasionally, the wind blows, and loose floating earth flies everywhere.

Further afield, there is an excavator and a concrete mixer. The triangular piles have been built, and next to them are stacked with cut steel. Including the heavy trucks loaded with bricks on the side of the road, there are a wide variety of materials and a huge number of them.

Clearing the ground, digging soil samples, drawing up the building patterns, and now excavating the foundations were all handled by a graduate student in architecture, and he became the first member to move from the tent outside the house into the small building, where he had a clean room and no restrictions on the daily meals.

This made other "proud sons of the sky" see hope, and then a doctoral student at Harvard Medical School saw Chen Ying's interest in dissection, so he volunteered to become Chen Ying's teacher and part-time doctor in the team, and she also became the second person to move into the small building.

The fortifications outside the small building were perfect on the drawings, but the operation at the beginning was not satisfactory, and the pride of heaven could not catch up with the ordinary survivors in this respect, none of them had done similar work, and there was nothing technical about this kind of labor. It's purely about digging, piling, mixing, bricklaying.. Monotonous and boring, with a lot of physical exertion, but no one complained, because they knew that Jiang Sen was not Robert, and that Jiang Sen could indeed provide what Robert could not provide.
