Chapter 248: A Warm Taste
After saying this, the crowd below that had begun to clamor fell silent again, and it was clear that this happiness had come so suddenly that most of the people had not been able to believe their ears. There were only a few people www.biquge.info in the pen "Fun" pavilion, and they couldn't help crying with joy, and some sparse whispered cheers resounded in the crowd, but unfortunately they did not attract a large area of response.
Wang Qi paused, and waited until the eyes of the crowd below looked at him to become hot again, and then he cleared his throat and continued:
"However, what the outside world is like now, I guess you all know a thing or two, even if I release all of you out of Hujin County, with your condition, it is estimated that you will not be able to walk five kilometers, and you will be eaten by the zombies along the way!"
A cold word instantly knocked the newly ignited enthusiasm in the crowd to the freezing point. But what he said was the truth, and the crowd that had calmed down looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of helplessness and despair in each other's eyes.
Of course, there are exceptions, and there are a small number of young and middle-aged men who get together, not knowing what they are discussing, and seem to have their own plans and intentions. And these people Wang Qi just glanced at it, and a sneer of disdain appeared in his heart, and he didn't want to say anything more to them.
"The so-called help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west. As a half-human being, since I sincerely want to set you free, it is necessary for me to consider a way out for you. ”
Wang Qi clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to return their attention to themselves before continuing,
"I don't have much power in my hands now, but I can be regarded as controlling the entire Hujin County. So, if you are willing to follow my arrangements and not leave the safe zone that I have demarcated, then I will basically be able to guarantee your freedom in life and the safety of your people. ”
"Well, the so-called safe zone, which is the area I have specially prepared for you humans, there are no zombies in it, there are no undead creatures, and you can live the exact same life as before the disaster. Of course, try not to leave that area if it's not necessary. ”
After saying this, Wang Qi stopped again, he knew that the people below needed time to digest and think. Sure enough, the crowd roared again, and almost everyone joined in the heated discussion. After about five minutes, several middle-aged men who seemed to be more obedient came out of the crowd, first saluted Wang Qi respectfully above, and then tentatively asked:
"Dare I ask this lord how big the safe zone is that you are talking about, and if we stay there according to your wishes, it seems that we are still not free, right?"
Wang Qi smiled, shrugged indifferently and said:
"There are only 946 of you, and I think the Linghu community on East Front Street is enough to settle you. Of course, in order for you to live comfortably, I can also let you use the two nearby shopping streets and the street park over there. As for what you mean by freedom, hehe, the concept should be relative, right? ”
"You see, in today's world, the price of freedom is often life. Even if you join a large human survivor base, you will only be able to gain free space within the base. And I am not exaggerating to say that the area I rule is much safer and more stable than those so-called survivor bases! ”
Glancing at the group of people who were still gathering in the corner and whispering, Wang Qi changed his words and said, "Of course, this is not mandatory, if there are people who are unwilling to stay, I can also personally escort you out of Hujin County, as for the life and death of these people in the future, they will bear their own responsibility." ”
"In addition, if you still count on the rescue of the government or the army, I advise you to wash and sleep. It's good that they're able to defend themselves now, and it's basically a fool's dream to fight back and save you. ”
"Well, that's all I have to say. You guys have a good discussion, and I'll come back early tomorrow morning. When the time comes, you elect a representative to talk to me about specific matters. That's it. ”
After saying these last words, Wang Qi ignored the crowd below, put on his helmet and turned to leave the food processing factory.
That's right, Wang Qi's idea is to co-opt these humans to do things for himself.
Because at this stage, the combat effectiveness of the undead creatures is quite considerable, but their creativity and intelligence are still far behind humans. Wang Qi doesn't want to rely on others, so he needs to establish his own territory as soon as possible, but if he wants to build and develop quickly, it is not enough to rely on the zombie skeletons under his command.
And now that he and Yu Xin are living together again, for the sake of her face, she will not be able to kill these innocent humans in the future. In that case, why not squeeze their value to the fullest and make a greater contribution to your own territory?
Back at the county government's family home, Zhao Yuxin had already prepared lunch. Although it has been a few months without water and electricity, and fresh ingredients are hard to find, a variety of canned food, vacuum-packed food and plenty of filled purified water can still meet the daily needs of a small family.
Wang Qi has actually lost most of his sense of taste, and he basically doesn't eat human food in normal times. However, the food prepared by Zhao Yuxin himself is an exception, because he can taste a kind of happiness called "home" from it.
Of course, it would be more perfect if there was no lily girl at the table who always sneered at her.
"How's it going?"
Adding a large bowl of rice and putting it in front of Wang Qi, Zhao Yuxin asked while untying her apron.
"Xiaoyu's side shouldn't be a big problem. As for the human captives, I promised to release them, and set aside a safe zone in the county town for them to live freely, but whether they appreciate it or not depends on tomorrow's answer. ”
Wang Qi took a large piece of fish meat and put it into Zhao Yuxin's bowl on the side, and replied with a light smile, "If they finally agree, the management of the lives of these humans will be left to you to worry about, after all, my identity is special, and appearing in front of them often will only cause unnecessary panic." ”
"Well, I'll do my best......"
Zhao Yuxin smiled and put the piece of fish meat in her mouth, then picked up a large piece of rice and ate it with relish.
The meal was very harmonious, except for the occasional bickering with Mo Baihe, almost back to the warm life when he lived with Yu Xin and the others.
Just as Wang Qi was about to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, his mind moved, and it was an undead warrior who assisted the puppet spirit to send him a message.
Shao Xiaoyu's heart transplant has been successfully completed, and she has finally recovered all her memories from the past.
