Chapter 159: Scavengers
"What corpse?" I asked.
"The corpses of dead men."
The He family may have sensed that I was not as terrible as he imagined, and his speech slipped smoothly: "We rely on this to earn food, and many people die every day in this city, either because of conflicts between convoys, or some of them die of starvation or cold, we just need to take a picture of the dead as evidence, and then send the corpse to the cremation site, and then take the photo to ask the political cabinet army for food."
Because there were too many people who died some time ago, and the city was full of stench, the political cabinet army was afraid of the plague, so they temporarily organized some people to clean up the corpses in the city, and each corpse could get half a catty of food, those people who cleaned up the corpses were called scavengers, and the leader had something to do with a certain officer of the political cabinet army, and our captain used to follow them, but there was a conflict with them, so he left, and organized us to work alone.
Because our captain was originally a veteran, and he had some relationship with an officer, he acquiesced to the fact that we could also do this business, otherwise, we would not have been so lucky, because those scavengers were overbearing, if it weren't for the captain's original relationship, we would have been driven away a long time ago, and ordinary people would have been beaten to death by them if they wanted to do this. β
As he spoke, his expression suddenly darkened: "It's a pity that the officer who the captain knows was killed some time ago, and the scavengers also knew the news, and they began to beat our people when they saw them, saying that we robbed them of their business, and also injured several of our brothers, and often came to block the door, and we haven't been on a mission for several days." β
Hearing his words, I frowned slightly, and felt a little unhappy, so I walked towards the building that Zheng Jie arranged for us, and happened to meet Zheng Jie, I alluded to it: "Zheng Jie, haven't you made things clear to us." β
He was greeting me, and when he heard my words, he was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" β
As he spoke, he glanced at the He family next to me: "Brother Zhou is asking about the scavenger?" β
I nodded, looking at him with a calm face, trying to see what he was going to explain to me.
"I'm sorry Brother Zhou."
He apologized: "I was going to find a time to talk to you about it." β
"I just want an explanation." I looked at him with an unkind face.
He was silent, his head slightly lowered, and after a moment he looked up at me: "I have a conflict with them. β
"What contradiction?" I asked indifferently.
Zheng Jie's expression didn't dodge, but looked directly at me: "Because of the corpses they sent, at least one-fifth of them are alive!" β
I looked at him and didn't speak.
He continued: "I was also placed in the scavenger because of one of my old comrades. So I worked with them, and I knew what kind of goods they were, and in order to earn more supplies, they would catch those who were dying, or those who were wounded, and secretly beat them to death, and then used them as corpses to collect supplies. I couldn't get used to it, so I didn't do it, and I pulled a team out to do it alone, but they couldn't get used to me, so they went against me everywhere. β
After speaking, he looked at me calmly and put on an attitude of letting me do it.
I took a deep breath, knowing that this matter was not Zheng Jie's fault, but thinking that I was going to face a trouble with an army relationship for no reason, it was a headache to think about it, but I didn't show it.
"Well, I know it's not your fault." I waved my hand, "Since you are all members of my Flying Crane team now, I have an obligation to take care of this matter as well. β
Hearing my words, Zheng Jie grinned, but then his expression became serious and reminded me: "They also have a stranger, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't be bullied like this by them." β
"Oh? Let's talk about it. I raised my eyebrows, my heart tightened, hoping that it was not a perverted ability.
"Their alien seems to be a fool, the tall man is a big horse, holding a solid steel drill more than two meters long and thick arms in his hand, and he will be injured when he swings it, and he will die if he smashes it, and his strength is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yu beside me, probably saying that he was not worse than her.
"Okay, okay, it's like a golden hoop stick." Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief and waved my hand. To be honest, I don't believe there is anyone who can compare to this woman next to me.
"Oh, then I'm busy, Lao Chen called me."
The back of the teacher's building was originally used to stack sundries in the debris warehouse, now it is used to stack materials, Lao Chen is calling there, he pointed, but I was so angry that I wanted to smash his honest face with a punch, how could I not notice the cunning in his eyes that flashed away, but I instantly understood his sinister thoughts, he joined my convoy, probably because of the scavenger.
", get a few people to fix the gate first."
I scolded angrily, and I don't know when I was infected with a trace of ruffianism, probably because I was angry.
"Yes!"
He turned and walked away neatly. And I, but I thought hard about how to deal with that scavenger, because the relationship behind them is really a bit tricky, but thinking that I am also a character who fought out of the thousands of freak zombies, so I was really a little worried about the wolf and the tiger, and I also lowered my identity, so I put away the cowardly idea and cheered myself up, anyway, it is already like this, and it is impossible for me to drive Zheng Jie and them away because of this matter, but it is a soldier who will block the water and cover the earth, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Looking up at the sky, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun did not enter the clouds and did not come out, the hot temperature was driven away by the cold wind at the end of winter, the He family took me and Yu to a kindergarten teacher's office that they specially vacated for me, added beds and quilts, and had been arranged, and there was a carton of milk and a bag of egg yolk pie on the desk, it seemed that the food was okay, but I guessed it, it is estimated that the best food here is like this.
"Bang bang!"
"The door isn't closed."
I turned my head to see that it was Chen Jian, who was holding a pen and paper seriously.
"Come in."
I know that Chen Jian is just reminding me that rules are rules, and I, the captain, must set up rules to control the people below.
"There are forty-five members of the Feihe team, this is the list of members, captain, take a look." Chen Jian handed me the notebook, let me look at it for a while, and continued: "I discussed with Captain Zheng, and divided the team members into four teams, three team leaders, Cao Wenhao and these people were divided into one team, as the captain of your direct subordinates, the other three team leaders were Captain Zheng's original subordinates, named Wang Kun, Zhao Long, and Wu Chenggong. β
"Hmm."
I nodded, memorized the names, and returned the notebook.
Chen Jian continued: "The miscellaneous warehouse behind the teacher's building has about half a ton of materials and about 200 catties of rice, which can be eaten for about ten days. β
"Hmm."
I nodded.
"By the way, here's a draft of the code of conduct for team members." Chen Jian opened a page and handed me the notebook, he looked different at the moment, he was very serious, how to put it, it should be a kind of momentum.
I took the notebook and glanced at the previous ones:
One. The purpose of the team is to make the team members better survive and live, to serve the team is to serve themselves, and to be loyal to the team is to be loyal to themselves.
Two. Every rule is to serve the interests of the team and the members of the team, and anyone who seriously harms the interests of the team will be disqualified from the team and expelled from the team.
Three. Every team member should memorize the team member rules...
Four. Team members' performance will appear on the office list in the form of points, with additional rewards for good performance and penalties for poor performanceγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
And so on, I had a headache when I saw it, and I handed the book back again and again, and said, "Isn't it too harsh?" β
"There are rewards and punishments, rewards for good performance, and penalties for poor performance, so that they will be motivated, which is conducive to the better development of the team." Chen Jian took back the notebook, as if he remembered something, and scribbled on it.
"Captain!!"
A hurried shout was heard, and a member of the convoy appeared outside the door with a panicked face.
"What's the matter?"
My brow furrowed slightly, and I subconsciously guessed if something was wrong.
"The scavengers' men are coming."
"Scavengers?"
Chen Jian stopped writing, looking at his appearance, he shouldn't know these things yet.
"Go, take me there."
Because of what I have been encountering, I am very insecure, and I subconsciously pulled the bolt of the gun, carried the gun, and walked out of the door with a cold expression.
ps: Thank you for the reward of 'wiping' and other loving friends.
