06 A real gathering place
"The rules here are actually similar to ours, as long as you eat people, you will be tied up and thrown to the shore to feed the fish, I guess, for fear of causing panic among others."
"Hmm...... It's pretty much the same, those guys are still a bit human, Zhang Huai'an, don't embarrass them too much in the future, we always have to go, we can set up an office here, forget it, don't think so far, Captain Huang, you continue to ......"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqiang no longer interrupted himself, Huang Tingwei continued to speak, but the speed of his speech began to speed up, allowing Zhang Xiaoqiang to come from time to time, as if he was going to talk about it.
Those who were abandoned were miserable, people starved to death every day, some young children were also thrown away, and they were left to starve to death, not because they were ruthless, but because their parents were also waiting to starve to death, and some women with some appearance started to buy and sell skin and meat, and they were patronized by those forces who could not starve for the time being.
Speaking of this, Huang Tingwei's expression was a little weird.
It seems that the women who sell meat are not doing very well, because the sheltered women have also started to sell meat, which is related to the fact that food relief has been cut again.
In the past, food relief was 150 grams per person per day, 50 grams per day for the abandoned, now it is 100 grams per person per day, and it may take three days for the abandoners to have 50 grams.
From time to time, some protective fortifications will be built in the gathering area, and some men will get the opportunity to work, and their daily food harvest is at least 250 grams, and at most 400 grams, so the men in the agglomeration will live better than the women, of course, the opportunity to work can only be obtained by men, and men who are protected by power.
As a result, some women go with the abandoned people to the lake in search of food, which is dangerous, and there is little strength in the gathering to collect the big fish, resulting in a high mortality rate among women in the settlement.
There is food in the big lake. The leaders of the gathering place are very clear, they have also tried to clean up, but unfortunately, the method they used is the most brutal method, the bazooka bombarded more than a dozen, and they couldn't do anything about the rest, in the end, they themselves suffered heavy casualties, not to mention the corpse of the big fish, and the big fish did not have the habit of wasting food.
The gathering place used to be a peninsula, but now it is a small island, and the place connecting to the land has been artificially dug up a large river ten meters wide, connecting with other waterways, isolating the gathering place, and fearing that the people in the gathering place will go out to find food and bring back the terrible zombies, they simply blow up the two bridges leading to the city of Wh.
After the bridge was blown up, they erected a wall six meters high and four meters wide to enclose the entire gathering place, and the appearance of the big fish sealed off the side near the big lake, and hundreds of thousands of people buried their heads in the sand they thought were safe like ostriches, until the convoy came.
Huang Tingwei finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang is mixed with joy and sorrow, in the past, the WH gathering place was the holy place in his heart, his ideal shelter, and his ultimate goal, but now the shelter has become a dangerous house in the storm, how can this not make him feel sad?
Hey, it was he who became the leader of a party by accident, and with good luck, he found two arsenals and a hidden missile base, and with the capital to live in peace, at least he didn't have to suffer that torment.
"Zhang Huai'an, you go and organize those who come to the door into a logistics group, their food supply is halved, and tell them, don't call other people over, we don't have much food, one more of their people, they will eat less."
Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's determination, Zhang Huai'an was very surprised, he knew the material situation of the convoy best, they found it before and after, and the materials collected were enough for two hundred people to use for two years, not to mention the four hundred, even if they called four hundred people, they could also supply it, why did Zhang Xiaoqiang halve the supply of materials, and why did he refuse other people to join?
"Brother Cockroach, our supplies are quite sufficient? We still have tens of thousands of rifles of all kinds in our base that no one uses, you see, are we ......?"
"No......" Zhang Xiaoqiang waved his right hand to interrupt Zhang Huai'an's inquiry, his eyes were very complicated, he leaned softly on the back of the wheelchair and looked at the top of the tent blankly, half a sound, Zhang Xiaoqiang said depressedly:
"We have plenty of food for ourselves, but do you know how many survivors are waiting to starve to death?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands, took him up and sat up straight, stared at Zhang Huai'an's rough and restless old face, and said word by word:
"At least 10,000, at least 10,000, maybe 20,000, maybe 30,000, you think, they will give up so easily when they know that there is hope? Won't they be angry when they find out that their last hope is gone? Can we afford the wrath of tens of thousands of people? Will the leaders of those forces be kind enough to help us deal with the troubles that arise from our own stupidity? No!! They won't, they'll just stomp hard at our hearts! ”
Zhang Huai'an leaned on the back of the chair with a pale face, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and he almost wiped out the team because of his good old man's thoughts, if the leader of the team was really him.
Huang Tingwei didn't say anything on the side, he still had something to say, he knew that the gathering place was the most bitter, the most miserable were the children, every day there were children who died because of hunger, or for some other reasons, there were thousands of such children, and they were understated by Huang Tingwei as minors.
Huang Tingwei's heart is n times more tormented than Zhang Huai'an, his concept of swearing allegiance to Zhang Xiaoqiang is that Zhang Xiaoqiang will treat every child he meets kindly, he is a teacher, he loves those children, and he throws out the rest of his life just for those poor children?
Now there are thousands of children struggling on the line of life and death, their youngest is four or five years old, the oldest is twelve or thirteen years old, their eyes are numb, they are skinny, they make Huang Tingwei feel the pain of worrying when he sees them, he has repeatedly called them back to the camp, given them clean water, given them clean clothes, and given them the food they need most.
But he couldn't, the convoy had just arrived, everything was unfamiliar, and he believed that once the thousands of children were contained, countless survivors would come to the convoy and ask to be contained, and with the forefront, the survivors who could not be contained would be angry with despair, and the only ones who provoked their anger were other forces, who could uproot the convoy with these hungry people.
Zhang Huai'an said those words, he didn't stop it, he wanted to see if Zhang Xiaoqiang had the courage and confidence to accept tens of thousands of people, although Zhang Xiaoqiang refused, but there was no feeling of disappointment.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't see the disappointment in Huang Tingwei's eyes, he looked at Zhang Huai'an and said seriously:
"I escaped from my house with only a gun made of water pipes, a hammer, a sniper crossbow, not enough food on my body for a week, a d2 made me climb from the outer wall to the eighth floor, made me jump from the fifth floor to the first floor, how do you see me now? Do I use a weapon or a hammer? Do I still have to be afraid of d2? Why do people live? Isn't there hope, we can't help today, and we can't help after we don't get to the table, let's take it one step at a time......"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's half-sighing, half-inspirational words made Zhang Huai'an and Huang Tingwei ignite expectations, and their fighting spirit was re-inspired, and they will work hard for the goal in their hearts.
