Chapter 51: Meat and Rank
This lunch was tasteless, Secretary Qin kept giggling and talking nonsense with the colonel, the colonel didn't talk much, but he always maintained a cordial attitude, and I was the one who suffered the most, the whole 1,000-watt light bulb was lit there, and I was uncomfortable.
When we were about to finish eating, Zhu Hong's security department came in, this department plus the new Arhats, a total of more than 30 people, the team is the largest, as soon as we entered the restaurant Hulala, seeing the colonel's customary salute, I and a few partners looked at each other, and did not greet each other.
Not long after they came in, Xiao Yue and Shannian, Tang Si and the three of them also entered the restaurant, and after greeting the colonel, they went to eat by themselves.
Then there is the search department of the soul and the supply and demand department of the black fox, and these departments are all here.
The colonel went back upstairs to rest by himself after eating, Secretary Qin's eyes were about to drift out, I knew the relationship between the two of them in my heart, how could I follow Secretary Qin upstairs? She told Secretary Qin that she was a little dizzy and wanted to go home to rest, and she happily agreed.
They left, I was much more comfortable, I went out of the military compound alone, and walked along this long street towards the Guanhai Restaurant, at this time, my parents and parents may take Shuai Shuai to the Guanhai Restaurant to eat, I want to see the children.
I didn't expect to meet the duo of Fourteenth Brother and Iitaro on the way, they saw that I was walking alone, and they were not as cold as in the restaurant before, and finally said hello to me.
"Brother Fourteen, Iitaro, you still haven't finished talking to me." I finally caught these two people, how can I let them go so easily.
"Duoduo, have you already joined the military department?" Brother Fourteen walked side by side with me and asked seemingly casually.
"Yes, the colonel strongly invited, and we have to work on the island, so let's try it first." I secretly pondered the position of the fourteenth brother and answered carefully.
"So you've decided where to stand?" Brother Fourteen's tone was still flat, but it made me hear the undercurrent under the words.
"Brother Fourteen, we have just arrived and don't know anything, why can't we tell each other frankly if we have something to say?" I lost my patience and asked straight questions.
"Duoduo, do you know the colonel and the military department?" The fourteenth brother finally got serious.
"Brother Fourteen, how much do you know?" I'll throw the question back, and if I do, I'm afraid they know a lot more than we do.
He stood still, looked at me deeply, and said for a while, "We'll take you somewhere." ”
After saying that, the two of them turned around and walked towards a small path, which was in a different direction from the Guanhai Restaurant.
The three of us walked silently for a long time, and heard the cries of cattle and sheep in the distance, and we actually arrived at the livestock farm.
I didn't expect there to be so many animals on this island, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese, everything, and the number is considerable! I couldn't help but be glad to see the scene, as if our four little pigs were baby, and I was afraid that the inhabitants of the island would be worried about it, there were hundreds of pigs!
"What do you see?" Brother Fourteen stood outside the pigsty and asked me.
"See how rich this island is!" I looked at the big fat pigs and was in a good mood.
"Have you ever eaten any of these meats at the Sea View Restaurant?" Brother Fourteen had to remind me.
That's right! I understood something at once, yes, Brother Fourteen said that the carnivores on this island are only "special" to the military department! Therefore, in the sea-watching restaurant for ordinary survivors, there are only sea objects.
"But there are enough of these animals to eat the whole island, and besides, it's not free to eat at the Guanhai Restaurant, so why doesn't Colonel Weishenme serve some to ordinary survivors?" I really don't understand that.
The fourteenth brother chuckled, "Women really don't understand politics." ”
"What does eating meat have to do with politics?" I'm a little unconvinced, but my heart is empty, I didn't even watch the news broadcast before, that's true.
"On the island, seafood is nothing unusual, this meat is a luxury, especially in the last days, you think, the islanders on this island are all fishermen, the water is very good, you can get whatever you want to eat in the sea, but there are no cattle, sheep and pigs in the sea, all the land raised, on this island are rare, how to divide the grade? Naturally, the colonel was a politician, he knew how to control the will of the people early on, he made the people of the military department loyal to him in order to maintain his treatment through food supplies, and also made the islanders subconsciously think that they were managed, inferior, and had to be obedient and obedient. "Brother Fourteen told me, I sounded a little confused, but I also understood a rough idea.
"He doesn't co-opt everyone into loyal subordinates? Isn't it okay to eat all the meat and everyone is happy? "I may be too stupid for this question, a trace of helplessness flashed in Brother Fourteen's eyes.
"Duoduo, which is worth a steamed bun or a diamond?" Brother Fourteen asked.
"Diamonds, of course!"
"What about Weishenme?"
"Diamonds are expensive!"
"Steamed buns can afford to eat, and diamonds have to be bought at a high price, so diamonds are a rarity, right?"
"Brother Fourteen, do you want to tell me that you want to apply for diamonds with me? Finally understand that it is better to use a bead chain than a diamond bracelet for bubble girls? "I'm in the General Affairs Department now, and he wants to apply for something valuable, so I can find a way to go through the back door.
There was a popping sound behind me, and I looked back strangely to find that Brother Fourteen and Iitaro were spurting blood......
"I want to tell you that if these meat cannibals can be eaten by everyone, they will be as worthless as steamed buns, and they will not bring a sense of superiority to the people in the military department! It will not give ordinary survivors the illusion of inferiority! Oh, my God...... For the sake of gods and demons, a woman with an IQ like you will be incorporated into the military department by the colonel? Is there something wrong with the Colonel's IQ? "Brother Fourteen is on the verge of going berserk, and I am sweating like a pulp.
"It's not that complicated, is it?" I pointed around, "No one is watching this farm, and people who want to eat meat come and steal a sheep and hide it and roast it?" ”
Iitaro sneered, "You can't see anyone, now turn in and try to pull the head sheep?" In the past, some people did not believe in evil and came to steal chickens in the middle of the night, and were caught by the security department and bombed to the other side of the bridge in front of everyone the next day, and then they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. You entered the island from the mainland, and you know very well how many zombies there are, right? ”
The Colonel's rules are indeed cold! Thinking about the fact that we used to be on the farm, in the valley, the delicious food was eaten by the elderly, children and women, and there was never any strict hierarchy, which really made people feel very uncomfortable.
"The colonel is benevolent on the surface, and he is a convenience restaurant and a work arrangement, but in fact, this is the prototype of a slave society." The fourteenth brother continued.
"How?" Slave society? It's getting worse!
"You know that every survivor has to work, of course, the colonel stipulates that the elderly and children can not work, but their food is not free, so some old people have to work, and there are children, there are some child laborers on this island, the youngest is only seven years old, because there is no one to take care of his parents, if he wants to eat, he has to go to work, you haven't had time to see it, right?" The fourteenth brother's tone gradually became sad.
"And that kind of thing?" I was stunned, then indignant.
"There are a lot of you people, and the colonel has recruited you young and strong into his military headquarters, so your old people and children have also borrowed light, if you are just a few women and children, I am afraid that you will not even be able to afford to eat at the Guanhai Restaurant." The fourteenth brother sighed.
"I see, you are only a small part of the people in the military department, I believe that the colonel is interested in more than this person, and the other middle-aged and young people in your team will be incorporated sooner or later." He looked at me with a deep gaze, "Duoduo, have you really decided to stand on the Colonel's side?" ”
"Huh? I, no, the question is...... "I was shocked by the information I had just heard, but I also kept an eye on it, who knows if this fourteenth brother and Iitaro are another set of eyeliner from the colonel?" Could it be to test my loyalty?
"Who is leading the other team on this island?" I was in a hurry to deflect the issue.
"You're cunning." Iitaro took over the topic from the side, "The Colonel's sugar-coated cannonball corroded you so quickly?" Doesn't it feel good to enjoy the privileges? ”
His words were full of sarcasm, which provoked me to jump up, "Don't look down on people, boy! We're not what you think! ”
In a fit of rage, I asked for the bottom of the matter, and I didn't care if this could reach the colonel's ears, "We're not people who help the abuse just to be able to eat meat, we also have pigs ourselves, right?" Less is less, but it won't hug the thighs of the powerful for the sake of privilege! It's a big deal, let's get back on the road and find a survival base. ”
I'll regret it after shouting, I'm really not suitable to be a spy, it's useless now, the colonel will kick us out of the military headquarters or even Changxing Island soon......
Unexpectedly, the fourteenth brother and Iitaro smiled, "I know that you are pure and thick-hearted, and you are not villains who tend to be inflammatory." ”
"Aren't you going to go to the Colonel's complaint?" Actually, I've always felt that they weren't like that.
"Haha, you're not going to sue us at the Colonel, are you?" They smiled very brightly.
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth, don't hide it, what the hell is going on, can you explain it clearly?" I was a little relieved to see that they were upright, and that they didn't have the slightest pride in catching my little tail.
"There is a part, only a small part of the survivors on this island, who are dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the colonel and want to unite more people to twist into a rope and confront the colonel." The fourteenth brother is colorful.
"As soon as you came to the island, we felt that you were a liliang that could be fought for, because you are not a selfish and ruthless mercenary gang, you are a big family huddled together." He looked at me approvingly.
"We don't have a lot of contact, how did you come to this conclusion?" I looked at Brother Fourteen suspiciously, and said in my heart that he can really pinch and calculate? How can you judge so accurately?
"Look with your eyes," he smiled slyly, "Yaoyao has told me a lot about your deeds, and the unity and friendship of your family. ”
I'm dizzy, we sent Yaoyao to Brother Fourteen's words, but he didn't say anything, and he was tricked so much...... Sure enough, it's the gap between the old fox and the little white rabbit!
"In addition to meat control, the colonel has a lot of cats." Brother Fourteen continued.
