Chapter 105: Appeasement

Inside the oppressive underground shelter, hundreds of base dwellers are watching this morning's movie.

Today's movie is Cars, before the end of the world, this kind of animated movies for all ages has always been the best way to relax, at least Huang Shang loves to watch, when he is immersive, he can always forget the difficulties in reality, but whenever the movie ends, the pressure in his heart will not be reduced a lot.

The mentality of the refugees is just like that of Huang Shang in the past, because of the shortage of food, Su Lan has changed the food provided every day to two meals a day, and breakfast is just ordinary pickled rice porridge, and there is only one bowl of rice at noon.

An interesting fallacy has arisen out of nowheresy and is widely circulated among refugees.

"Doomsday collapse theory, who came up with this name, there is really a set."

Huang Shang swept the paper report provided by Su Lan and couldn't help laughing, "After the apocalypse, there will be a fault in human productivity, and even stagnation, and the materials obtained by the survivors are all the remnants of the apocalypse, and the reserves of this kind of materials are very small, eat a little less, and even add strong nuclear radiation, people who eat radioactive rice will eventually become monsters." ”

"Haha, it's really interesting, a strong WeChat public knowledge." Huang Shang spread his hands, "What do you think?" ”

"Although this kind of thing can be seen at a glance in our hands, the mentality and situation of the refugees are different from ours, they don't know anything about the situation in our base, because the meals provided are reduced, and it is not strange to have some rumors, but this does not mean that we should take it lightly, on the contrary, we must severely punish the spreaders and creators of rumors."

"Well, I'm the same as you think, rumors can hurt people anywhere, and our job this morning is to stop rumors." Huang Shang threw a stack of reports on the table and walked towards the underground warehouse.

Although rumors stop at the wise, facts show that once the rumors spread to a certain extent, even the wise will be led distorted and become mentally retarded.

The door of the warehouse was closed, dozens of guards guarded outside, seeing the arrival of the leader, the iron door was opened widely, and what caught his eye was the grain illuminated by the shadowless lamp, and a large amount of grain was piled up in the warehouse like a hill, nearly 500 tons of grain was enough for the entire base to eat for several lifetimes. Of course, this is on the premise of ensuring that the number of people does not increase.

"Who are the opinion leaders among the residents? Call them all. Huang Shang asked Su Lan.

"Chu Lan of the field hospital department, Victor of the armaments research and development department, Xu Mo of the engineering department, and Yelena of the merry place all have high prestige in the mouth of the people." Su Lan said familiarly.

"Armaments R&D Department? Then Victor is too pitiful, the whole department is just him, and what kind of Merry City, what is it? Huang Shang asked with a smile.

Su Lan shrugged his shoulders, "You don't remember your own orders?" You said that the physiological needs of the residents should be effectively addressed, didn't you talk to those girls? Forgot about it so quickly? ”

"I haven't forgotten, but I don't remember that the base had so many important departments so quickly." Huang Shang frowned.

"You, the shopkeeper, basically don't interfere in the daily affairs of the base, I set up these departments for effective management, although the number is still small, but the base will always expand one day." Su Lan twisted his long hair behind his ears and said.

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work." Huang Shang smiled awkwardly, indeed, except when the base was facing an invasion or hunting for mutants, he would personally lead the base, and Su Lan was basically working alone in the affairs on weekdays.

"Go and call them." Huang Shang instructed.

"Okay." Su Lan nodded, obviously understanding what he meant.

Three minutes later, Su Lan led these opinion leaders among the residents to rush back, these people were panting, obviously busy with their work, and they were naturally surprised when they were summoned by the leader.

"Chief... What do you command? "It was Chu Lan who spoke, the attending doctor of the field hospital, no one was sick during this time, he was very leisurely.

"If it's okay, I'll go back first, I've broken through the Assassin 2K-gunship you provided, and I'm preparing to study the delicate parts inside." Victor was holding the drawings, his originally delicate face was already covered with a beard, and it was clear that he loved the job very much.

"Or... Listen to the chief. A tired and soft voice came from his side, and Huang Shang fixed his eyes on it, and Yelena was trembling against the wall, a little out of breath when she spoke.

"It's not a big deal, I just want you to see this." With that, Huang Shang pointed to the warehouse.

A mountain of grain stood in front of everyone, and Huang Shang could easily feel that the breathing sound of the people in front of him had become much heavier.

"The food here is enough for us to eat for a lifetime." Victor lifted his black-rimmed glasses, "Then why are there such rumors in the base?" ”

"It's just nonsense, what kind of mentality is the creator of this rumor?! Chief, since there is plenty of food, I suggest that you catch the rumor-mongers and never tolerate them! Although there is not much problem with the residents' bodies these days, I can clearly feel that their hearts and spirits are different. Chu Lan said firmly.

"So, I'm sure you'll know what to do when you get back." Huang Shang nodded at them, "In the future, three meals will be provided as usual." ”

After seeing them off, Huang Shang walked into Mercado's dormitory.

When the underground shelter was built, Huang Shang opened up a number of private rooms to reward those who had made positive contributions to the base, and Mercado was clearly among them.

Knocking on the door, Huang Shang pushed the door open.

"Yo, there's it."

At this time, Merktor was sitting on the bed in a daze, looking drowsy.

"What's wrong, sick?" Huang Shang asked.

"No, I'm just a little tired." Merck rubbed her face.

"I also feel sad for those twenty-three fighters." Huang Shang patted him on the shoulder.

"Dead people in war are something that will definitely be released, and you, as the leader, shouldn't have so much to worry about."

"Uh-huh." Huang Shang was noncommittal.

"You're not a competent leader." Merck took out one more cigarette and lit it for herself.

"Oh? How to say this. Huang Shang wanted to know what kind of image he had in the minds of the other subordinates in the base.

"You're not a competent leader, but you're a natural lord." Merck answered more than he asked.

"What you say may contradict the previous one." Huang Shang smiled and took the cigarette from Mercado.

"No, I'm telling the truth, the situation of the base is very difficult now, and some of the decisions you make are not the best, but this is also a last resort, sometimes not losing money, is the biggest profit, as for why you are born as a lord, the reason is very simple, I can see your inner ambition."

"Then I'll take your words as a compliment to me." Huang Shang said with a smile.

Mercado laughed too, his tired cheeks crawling with folds, this leader who had been crawling around in the last days looked less heroic at this time, but more like an ordinary person.

"You don't have to worry about us, and you don't have to pity those forward battalion soldiers, the forward battalion has come to this day, and there are countless dead brothers, if you sigh every day, you won't live today."

"Oh? But I don't think you're in good shape. ”

"It's nothing, just remembering my family, I lost their whereabouts, but I know they're still alive." Mercado's eyes lit up with stars, "If you can, I hope you can help me then." ”

"Nature." Huang Shang said with a smile.
