Chapter 328: Self-sufficiency
When we got off the highway, we encountered a small team of dozens of walking corpses, and we didn't bother to bother and rushed straight through the line that was blocking the way.
Listening to the thud of the car in front of me hitting the walking corpse, I only felt a dark feeling in my heart.
The bearded man began to get busy, constantly asking the walkie-talkie about the situation ahead.
To enter the city, he was obviously nervous just now.
Xiaohu and Xue Yun were both placed on their seats, and Qingming watched.
Suotian's face did not change, and he drove quietly.
All the way into the city, there is no imaginary large number of walking corpses, the city is very quiet, and there are few walking corpses on the road.
The bearded man opened the window, stretched out his head and looked left and right for a long time, then asked at the lock sky, "The master... Isn't that wrong? ”
Suo Tian glanced out the window and answered, "It's okay, it may have just passed by a large number of walking corpses and led them away." ”
The bearded man looked out the window with some concern: "Is it possible that they all gathered in the city, or gathered around the shelter?" ”
Suo Tian pursed his mouth: "No, in that case, the road surface will not be so clean." ”
The bearded man nodded, and after entering the city, the original leading vehicle reduced its speed, and our car drove ahead and began to lead the way.
Looking at the road as if it was locked in front of his house, I wondered if he had a navigation installed in his head.
When the car slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Normal College, I couldn't help but ask Xiang Suotian in amazement: 'This is your hometown, right?' ”
Locker looked at me twice, ignored the car and got out of the car.
There were about twenty walking corpses wandering in front of the shelter and around the courtyard walls, which saw our convoy and gathered all of them.
The bearded man also got out of the car, and the rest of the car followed, except for the driver.
Qingming looked at the situation outside, and asked a little nervously, "Chen Yang, should we go down to help?" ”
He waved his hand at him and said, "They can deal with it, don't worry." ”
Outside the window, the men in black drew their daggers one after another, stepped forward almost one-on-one, and quickly dealt with the walking corpses.
Then the bearded man stepped forward and shouted to the door, adjusted the frequency of the walkie-talkie, and shouted: "Is there any panting?" Open the door! ”
I took the opportunity to take a look at the university.
Facing the gate is a building, which should be a teaching building, and the location of the gate is the previous automatic door, which is not high, so it is obvious that a relatively high large iron gate has been built in the door.
The surrounding school walls have also been much taller.
Through the big iron gate, you can see that the school is still quite well built, and the area should be not small.
Soon someone appeared from inside and opened the door.
After our convoy entered the courtyard, the people who came to open the door came up to say hello to Suotian, and then they were called aside by the bearded man and did not know what he was inquiring about.
The greenery of the school is quite good, and after the car stopped in front of the building, we got out of the car and walked towards the tree-lined path.
As I walked down the path, I looked left and right, and some of the trees built in the flower pond still had signs on them.
There are also benches for resting on the roadside.
When I passed by several dormitory buildings, I looked at the full number of bicycles parked in front of the dormitory, and my mind automatically began to replay the little couple who often rode bicycles and battery bikes in the courtyard of the school when I was in college.
Occasionally, one or two local tyrants drive an Audi BMW across the campus, which will also attract a few attentional glances.
At that time, we all had a big mind, and we felt that we would definitely be able to get ahead after graduation, and we would definitely be able to find a good career, give full play to our potential, counterattack Bai Fumei, be rich and handsome, and reach the peak of life.
But in fact... Take me as an example, after graduation, I became a primary school teacher, more than 2,000 yuan a month, fortunately, I don't have to pay rent, plus my parents subsidize me, otherwise I and Yangyang sisters and brothers would have gone to the roadside to beg for food.
When I walked around, the people in front of me with locks and beards went into the imposing library, and I just followed up with my front feet, and when I saw that it was full of all kinds of people, I immediately stopped.
Qingming was also stunned, and then looked at me hesitantly and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Shrugged his shoulders at him: "I don't know... I guess it's going to be some kind of meeting. ”
There is a large desk here, and at the end of one end sits a gray-haired old man, he is not wearing any military uniform or uniform, he is wearing a white practice uniform similar to the practice of Tai Chi, and the whole person looks like a fairy spirit.
When Suotian entered the door, the rest of the people stood up, and the old man turned his head to look at Suotian, and said with a smile: "Xiaotian is here." ”
I was stunned when I heard this, locking the sky and knowing this old man?
He nodded at the old man, and greeted him with a rare politeness: "Old Wu." ”
The old man in white laughed and beckoned Suo Tian to sit on his right.
Behind him, Qingming and the other men in black were left in the outer hall, and the bearded man and I followed Suotian.
After the old man in white sat down, he looked at me twice, smiled and didn't ask any questions.
It didn't take long for me to understand the meaning of this meeting.
Only a few of the people in this group of people were wearing uniforms, and the rest were ordinary clothes on weekdays, and it seemed that what the bearded man had said before was true, this was a shelter for the people to spontaneously assemble, and the more outstanding people among the people could participate in the leadership.
But the people are always the people, no matter how awesome, it is not easy to protect themselves, this is not as good as the situation when we first broke out of the walking corpse, in a small county town can easily feed a large number of people, here the shelter is inhabited by more than 1,300 survivors, and the daily consumption of food and drink is very huge.
And in this urban area, there is not enough food replenishment, and they hope that Suotian can allocate some supplies from other places to transport them.
When the people below said this, the old man in white just sat in his place with a smile, and his eyes looked at whoever spoke, without expressing any opinion, and his expression remained the same.
The bearded man kept answering their questions, which was nothing more than that the food supply at the Wuhan shelter was that various localities sent troops to guard the production factories and would help get raw materials, so they would get the supply of goods, and in the final analysis, there was a reward for the effort.
There is nothing to be done here, but it is unlikely that those who want to get a piece of the pie now that materials are scarce.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused a large number of opposition, and the representatives of the people shouted one after another, could it be that everyone worked hard to build this shelter, but it was impossible for everyone to starve to death here?
The bearded man had a bad temper, and when he heard this, he immediately increased his voice, and there was no one in the room who could not raise his voice: "What's wrong?" Could it be that we have to deduct the materials from Wuhan and transport them to you all the way? Why? Did you contribute anything? In this world, if you don't want to pay back, is it possible? ”
This rhetorical question, someone immediately took the case, they didn't understand the relationship between the various shelters, and they didn't know what team C or army at all, they just wanted to take care of their own interests, and they would respond to the bearded man: "The purpose of you sending people here is to rule this place for us?" Nothing else is ready to care, is it? ”
The two next to him also spoke: "Isn't there an explanation for this?" According to your unprepared intentions, we are still gathered here waiting to starve to death to do something, it is better for everyone to disperse and beg for a living! ”
The two men immediately caused a large number of echoes.
The uniformed people didn't dare to squeak, they just kept looking at the sky.
At this moment, the middle-aged man walked in from the outer hall, whispered a few words to Suo Tian, and then stood up straight and spoke to everyone in the room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's useless for you to mess with us here, our C team center team is only responsible for security, we are responsible for defending where we are, we already understand the situation here, but now the major shelters can only protect themselves as much as possible, Beijing has been besieged by walking corpses recently, and we have to keep sending reinforcements, so things here still need your joint efforts, your population of more than 1,000, everyone has contributed, and you can run this place very well."
The moment the middle-aged man stopped, seeing that the people around him were about to speak again, he waved his hand to interrupt and continued: "Since we are here, we will live here for a few people, and we will not sit idly by, after all, since there are our people here, it can be regarded as within the scope of our responsibility, and now there is such a method, you can see if it is feasible." ”
Those people looked at the middle-aged man twice, and said in a calm voice: "You say." ”
"Fuyang City is not big, the surrounding areas are rural, there is a lot of arable land, we will look for a relatively good location of arable land in the near future, to circle a relatively safe place for you, where you can sow seeds, at least in the coming year can be self-sufficient, as for the work required to circle the cultivated land, we are responsible for the implementation of the plan, you need to contribute some manpower."
One of the middle-aged people with a Chinese character face spoke: "This is too far, what is the use of having food next year?" Will we be able to tighten our belts until that time? ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "This is not within the scope of our responsibility, this urban area is not big, but it is definitely not small, a family has two catties of rice noodles, and it is definitely enough for you to last for a long time, and there are so many rice factories, noodle factories, these things will not fall from the sky, you only know that you are here to ask us, it is better to save your energy and take people out to find it yourself." ”
