Chapter 147: Teaming Up
I began to admire myself a little, I didn't expect that I, who prided myself as shrewd, would also do such stupid things that can only be done by reckless people, but in fact, people who have done good things know in their hearts that that feeling is always more enjoyable than evil things, to be incisive, to be calm, to feel that my personality has been sublimated, and my soul is noble and excellent. Because, everyone has fantasized about being a hero and being the one who others admire.
Actually, I still have selfish intentions, I came out to take the lead, just to find some helpers, to find food and supplies.
Someone came over, a young boy, probably fifteen or sixteen years old, his body was thin, apparently caused by a lack of nutrition.
Another person came over, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, not very tall, and more and more people came around, and they were all looking at me, and their eyes were fixed on the backpack in my hand, because there was food in it.
"You all want to eat, don't you?"
My voice was slightly hoarse, and the voice I shouted just now was a little loud and broken.
They didn't answer me, but their eyes already showed their thoughts, yes, they wanted to eat.
"See, no."
I turned my head and pointed not far away, the road was full of abandoned cars: "There are cars there, we can go find a few cars that can be used, go find supplies, as long as you want, you will not starve." ”
They didn't say anything, but their expressions showed a bit of disappointment, obviously, they had guessed that I was not giving them gratuitously.
"You're all starving to death, aren't you?!"
I raised my voice: "Then look at those people!" ”
I pointed to the people who were lying on the ground, covered in blood and dying: "They are only because of a piece of bread, a piece of bread!! It's crazy cannibalism!! See?!! I've never seen someone so stupid!! For a piece of bread, he took his own life! Is it worth it?!!! That piece of bread is not enough to replenish the physical strength consumed by the struggle to get it! ”
"You say, is it worth it?! Why are you willing to put your life on the line for a piece of bread, but you are not willing to find food, eat and drink to your heart's content?! I screamed, pointing at them and yelling, "Because you're fools with brains full of water!" ”
The crowd stirred, they looked at me with disgust or sarcasm as if they were looking at a clown, some began to turn away, others cursed. I took out a ham sausage from my backpack, and those who turned away stopped, staring at the ham sausage in my hand, and those who cursed shut up, waiting for me, waiting for me to throw the ham sausage in my hand, and then ready to scramble.
I laughed angrily and pointed to the survivors who were lying in pools of blood and groaning: "Look, do you want to be like them, you didn't get enough food, and you ended up taking your own life?" ”
I chopped the cement block under my feet with my foot, pulled out a steel bar about a meter long and the thickness of my thumb from it, wrung it with force, and then straightened it: "Whoever dares to come and take this steel bar as a weapon, follow me to find food and supplies, I will give this ham sausage to whomever I want!" ”
The crowd began to hesitate, and I saw someone come up, it was the thin boy, his eyes were staring directly at the ham sausage in my hand, and he didn't know if he had listened to me, but he still held the steel bar first, and then looked at me with hope.
"Here you go."
I smiled and handed him the ham sausage in my hand.
He winced in his hand, took the ham sausage I had handed him, and carefully hid it in his arms, and I saw that all the eyes below were on him, greedy and disgusting to me.
"Why don't you eat it?"
I asked, "Aren't you afraid they'll snatch it away?" ”
His eyes flashed with hesitation and timidity, he was very nervous, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "My mother... ”
"Okay, then you will follow me to find something to eat, you stay next to me, no one dares to rob it, I will protect you!" I patted him on the thin shoulder, and his somewhat timid gaze finally settled down a lot, and his nervous expression relaxed slightly.
After saying that, I pulled out another steel bar and took out a piece of chocolate from my backpack: "Who else?" ”
"Me!!"
It was the middle-aged man who was not tall, he looked back at the crowd standing behind him, gritted his teeth, answered, and then walked up, took the steel bar, and then took the chocolate I gave him, bit open the bag and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it in three or two bites.
"Brother, is there any water?"
He looked at me blankly, thought for a moment, and then took out half a bottle of mineral water from my backpack and handed it to him, which I had not finished. But he obviously didn't mind, unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and grunted and burped, and the crowd below showed a look of regret, chagrin, and eagerness to try.
I know my approach has worked.
"This old brother is a powerful stranger, do you see, he can easily chop cement with one foot, and he will definitely be able to find food safely with him, I think, as long as he is not a fool, no one will do this kind of business that will not lose money."
Before I could speak, the middle-aged man next to me helped to open his mouth, but what I didn't expect was that the words that came out of his mouth had a greater effect, and the people below seemed to wake up one by one, looking at me with awe but longing.
I chopped up several cement blocks one after another, pulled out five or six steel bars and put them on the ground: "Whoever wants to follow me to find something to eat, come and pick up these steel bars." ”
"Bang!"
More than a dozen people rushed out at once, and I immediately took out my gun and shot at the sky: "Keep order!" ”
They were all scared by me, they are still human after all, they know how to fear and fear, because my strength can crush them, and their rules of survival will not work with me.
The six men who had snatched the steel bars stared at me as they waited for me to pull food out of my backpack.
"You're all going to disperse."
I pointed to the crowd behind me who were eager to try and wait for their chance. Their expressions were stunned when they heard my words.
"You don't have to follow me, you can also spontaneously organize a team to find food, if you don't want to, you can wait here, and when we find food, maybe you can organize another team to find food."
Hearing my words, they obviously didn't believe it, and with a look of disappointment, they turned around and left one by one, they didn't even think about spontaneously forming a team to find food.
"Let's go, when I find the car, I'll send you the food."
I stopped looking at the six people's eyes, their expressions showing disappointment and hesitation.
"My name is Zhou He, what are your names?" I introduced myself.
"My name is Chen Jian, I used to be a businessman, just call me Lao Chen." The middle-aged man, who was about forty or fifty years old, patted his chest and introduced himself.
"I'm a student." The boy next to me spoke timidly.
"Wang Bing."
"Zhou Yun."
"Li Haodong."
"Cao Wenhao."
"Zhu Hui."
"Li He."
The six people also introduced themselves in turn, but their voices were a little weak.
"Let's go, let's go now."
With that, I walked down the rubble and led them to the road full of abandoned vehicles.
"Brother, the ・・・・・・ you are holding in your arms" The middle-aged man named Chen Jian looked at Yu in my arms.
"I'm a soldier, the Air Force, and she's my deputy, and she crashed while on a mission, and she was wounded in the head." With that, I habitually handed out the ID book, hoping to increase my deterrence and convincing power in their minds.
"I didn't expect you to be a major, brother, this shouldn't be, they're all soldiers, why don't they let you into the city?" Chen Jian handed back the ID book, his tone a little puzzled.
"I don't know."
I shook my head.
