Chapter 4: Changing attitudes

Li Mo took Lao Gao and a few people and followed Xu Mingdong all the way to the reception. Behind them, the members of the convoy followed in a mighty manner.

It's just that the members, in the face of the envious eyes of the people of the other teams. I couldn't hide my smugness on my face, and I couldn't help but puff up my chest. Regardless of what the final distribution result will be, at least his group of people has a little more chance of staying in the military region than others.

And Li Mo's Kosda, which was full of supplies, was directly summoned by Xu Mingdong with ten soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and they were closely guarded.

As for whether to guard against Xu Mingdong and those soldiers, the reborn Li Mo naturally wouldn't worry. In his opinion, the Xingcheng Gathering Place did one thing best, that is, it would not embezzle the survivors' supplies.

It is important to know this bottom line, otherwise, it will inevitably cause population loss. And what is most important in the last days? It's people! Population, however, is the most basic factor that can prosper in a gathering place.

Of course, things like eating and taking buckles and going through the back door of the relationship are inevitable in any era. However, when the water is clear, there are no fish, so what the decision-making level of a gathering place has to do is to have the right attitude and grasp the scale.

Looking at Li Mo and them again, they quickly arrived in front of the reception. In fact, it is two temporary sheds, plus two tables, and a few so-called reception staff.

However, the situation of the two sheds is very different. Among them, there was a long queue, and there were many soldiers to maintain order, so he naturally received ordinary survivors.

And the receptionist in the shed also had a cold working face with a face, and he almost didn't write a few big words "I am a civil servant" on the door of his head.

It's just that when I got here, I was just in time for a good show. On the other side of the ordinary reception, several soldiers were brandishing rifles and smashing a man with their butts.

The glasses on the man's face had fallen to the ground, and his head was covered with blood. But it seems that they are still alive, and they are all lying on the ground, and they are still howling there.

"You stinky soldiers, why don't you let me enter the military area! That's how you treat the people? This is warlord style! It's a Fassi...... Oops! As soon as Leng Buding held down the gun, this person's front teeth went directly into his stomach.

Xu Mingdong, who was standing next to Li Mo, glanced at the howling man, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. Judging from the person's dress, although it was dirty and torn, he once thought he was an elite.

Then I saw him turn his head to look at Li Mo, and chuckled: "Let Brother Li see the joke." ”

Li Mo smiled faintly and did not respond.

But this Company Commander Xu didn't know why, but he suddenly became angry, and he also opened the conversation: "Grandma's, Brother Li, you don't know." These days are at the reception, but Lao Tzu is aggrieved.

You said that although the conditions here are not good, as long as the people who come to us will at least give you a stutter every day. Even if we can't eat enough, those grains are also our soldiers, risking his mother's life, from under the mouths of the living dead, little by little.

But as a result, Tm has to meet a few of these unsightly people every day. Open your mouth for human rights, shut your mouth for democracy, and give the what people are the masters. I'm just ri's an uncle, you don't have the ability to fart, you can only eat and wait for death, and you still want to Tm at Lao Tzu's warriors? ”

In the end, Xu Mingdong simply scolded the soldiers by the neck: "Okay, okay, do you like to listen to him?" Don't Tm fight, if you encounter such a thing in the future, throw it directly into the shed. ”

No matter how angry Xu Mingdong was, he didn't kill people at every turn. It can also be seen that although he holds the power of life and death in his hands, he has not abused this power.

And Xu Mingdong's prestige among the soldiers is obviously very high, and as soon as those soldiers heard this, they immediately stood upright. "Yes!" The promise is also neat like a person, which shows that the military literacy is quite good.

It's just that the farce is over, Xu Mingdong looked at Li Mo but his face was rare and he blushed, and he couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, I'm a person, sometimes my temper is muddy as soon as I come up, Brother Li, don't care." ”

Li Mo listened, but he smiled secretly in his heart. Muddy? Your company commander Xu just lost his temper, and it was clear that he deliberately sent it to me.

In fact, to say that this Xu Mingdong seems to be very arrogant, but in fact it is an embroidery mind. Are you really temperamental when he was angry? It's just for Li Mo to see, in order to defend the gathering place, of course.

After all, in his opinion, for a person like Li Mo who came here for the first time, seeing the scene just now, it would inevitably have a negative sense of the gathering place. At the same time, Xu Mingdong actually had the meaning of testing Li Mo's attitude.

Li Mo knew his thoughts, so he said: "Lian Commander Xu is polite, in fact, I don't have a good impression of parasites. ”

When Xu Mingdong heard this, he couldn't help but have a little more affection for Li Mo. He didn't know why, although he felt that Li Mo always looked indifferent, but he didn't make himself feel uncomfortable. And he didn't feel that what he said just now was dealing with himself.

I have to say, Comrade Xu, you have the truth. Although Li Mo decided to settle in Xingcheng, he didn't have to bother to slap you.

However, Gao Meng, who was beside Li Mo, put forward some of his own opinions: "Company Commander Xu, although I can also understand the various difficulties of the gathering place. But will the people in the shantytown continue like this? You know, this is a big hidden danger. ”

Although Lao Gao expressed his objections as soon as he came up, for Xu Mingdong, this kind of thing is normal. And because of Li Mo's statement just now, he also likes to talk to Li Mo and them.

Seeing that Xu Mingdong smiled, as if he had suddenly changed people, he said: "At present, the barracks and residences in the military region are really limited, and it is impossible for us to settle everyone in the short term, so we can only give priority to those who have made great contributions."

However, that doesn't mean we're giving up on the shantytowns. It's almost October, and in order to give the people in the shantlot a place to spend the winter, our soldiers have to run out almost every day.

For the sake of it, don't you just get more bigger cars back. Wouldn't it be a place to keep out the wind and rain if you changed those cars a little?

And since we made the summons here, the warriors have been scouring for building materials. We're also getting ready to start recruiting people from the shantytown to build it.

In the construction plan, not only the houses but also the castle walls are planned. Therefore, although the shed area is now isolated outside the military region, with the construction of the new city wall in the future, our Xingcheng gathering place will only get better and better.

As for the subsistence problem in the shantytown, I still say that I can't manage it because of limited supplies. But at least, we still provide everyone with a certain ration of food every day.

Brother Li, everyone, we are also human beings, and the heart in our chest is also fleshy. Do you really want to watch people starve to death day by day?

So once the construction work starts, most of the people in the shed will get the opportunity to work. In that way, they will be able to earn money for their work. Although the remuneration is only food, I can at least guarantee that I can not only support myself, but even save a little, and have a surplus!

And you know what is piled up in the warehouses of our military region now? It's a seed! Just wait for the spring of the next year to organize people to sow seeds! ”

Xu Mingdong's endless words directly made everyone's impression of Xingcheng reversed.

As he said, a gathering place, with so many mouths, is it all the food blown by the wind? Although the survivors of the shantytown are having a hard time, at least the gathering place has done its best to survive.

As for why you can only eat when you start working, of course, it is so that when the time comes, you can gather people smoothly. Otherwise, if you were to eat and drink right now, who would want to be a coolie?

So it's very, very good like Xingcheng. What if you change places and get paid? It's good not to just pull you to be a piglet!

And Gao Meng and these people also understand that if it weren't for the captain's face, would it be necessary for the company commander Xu to explain so much to us?

But in any case, for the first time since we arrived here, we have a new confidence and hope for the future.
