Chapter 231: Cottage
Xue Yongti had an unfathomable expression, and he said to Zheng Jieming and the others with a mentor-like demeanor, "Of course we don't have to leave here casually. Why leave? Why leave? Since Yu Zekai is so desperate to need our support, it means that he himself is unstable in the doomsday government. Then we can just go back and forth between them and get the most benefit. ”
"Hmph. We can't play with the methods of politicians, but what you said is quite blatant. But we are ordinary survivors, and we just want to live well. Zhou Jitang sat on the windowsill and looked at Xue Yongti.
"So you tender, do you want to leave this area? In my opinion, amusement parks are very suitable for defending against zombies, all kinds of artificial landscaping, the terrain is very complex, and there are walls to block it, you may not be able to have such a good defense location when you go to other places. Xue Yongti said.
Geng Zhi originally wanted to say a few words, but seeing Xue Yongti speaking so actively, he stopped talking.
"Then there is no need for us to cooperate with Yu Zekai." Hua Bong said.
"People are under the roof, you have to bow your head, you have to respect the situation! I don't want a zombie crisis yet! Isn't this still erupting?! There's no need to discuss something that we can't dominate at all! To put it bluntly, there are two ways to go -- either to mediate with Yu Zekai's doomsday government to the end and obtain the greatest benefits in it, or to give up mediation and adopt a non-cooperative attitude, waiting for them to retaliate against us or we will be forced to flee! Xue Yongti said.
Zheng Jieming felt quite strange about Xue Yongti's resolute attitude, he thought that politicians should be cats in the corner, decision-making in the curtain, and people in the invisible, but he didn't expect that at this time, the person who played a leading role and helped him persuade everyone was actually such a person.
"Then I know, but we still can't get too close to Yu Zekai." Hwabong finally changed his mind and agreed with the idea that Zheng Jieming conveyed back.
Although Jin Hu reacted strongly, because he couldn't come up with a better reason to convince Xue Yongti, he reluctantly accepted this choice, but he was still secretly a little unconvinced in his heart, he felt that everyone's team was led by Yu Zekai's nose, and this was what he didn't want the most.
At the time of the Wang Yueshan incident, Jin Hu once expressed his attitude to Zheng Jieming - if a person has the ability to lead everyone, then it is no problem to lead, and it is no problem to be tough! But if this person lacks leadership, others will inevitably be distracted and torn apart! Everyone has to survive, and the person who took the lead at that time is not to blame.
He glanced at Zheng Jieming, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zheng Jieming's performance, he felt that after today's morning meeting, Zheng Jieming was actually occupied by Yu Zekai.
In fact, Zheng Jieming himself is also thinking about it, and he understands that it is involved in political factors, to put it bluntly, it is involved in the distribution of interests with other people in the future, and how to maximize the exchange of other people's future interests for his own practical interests has become a very complicated matter. He was reluctant to intervene, but at the moment the armed forces of his own people were really insufficient, and he had to intervene. This is like a whirlpool, so he has to be sucked into the center of the whirlpool, and the desire to form a paradise can only go farther and farther.
"How? Zheng Jieming, have you figured it out yourself now? Xue Yongti turned his head to look at Zheng Jieming, he himself knew very well that although he was old and had high political qualifications, he did not have too strong a voice among this group of survivors, and he was not suitable to have too strong a dominant power.
"Actually, before I came to tell you about this matter today, when Yu Zekai raised this issue, I was thinking about it. We don't have much choice, if we don't have anything to do with the doomsday government, because the other side's armed forces are much stronger than ours, we have to move, otherwise there may be danger anytime and anywhere. If you get involved, you have to get involved in their struggle, and if you don't play well, it's still dangerous. When Zheng Jieming said this, I don't know who sighed softly. But we have a chance, as Mr. Xue said, a chance to get more benefits from it. I can go and deal with Yu Zekai again, as much as possible to ensure that the jurisdiction of the amusement park is completely ours, here is the northwest of the district government, the northeast is the former quarry, and the southeast is the hill with the cemetery, in terms of defending against zombies, it should be said that it is very good. On the one hand, we should be able to stabilize ourselves by strengthening our own construction, searching for more supplies and strengthening the wall, and on the other hand, we should be able to stabilize ourselves by trying to win more support from weapons and materials. ”
"How exactly are you going to do it?" Jin Hu asked, he wanted a clearer route.
"Win the support of weapons, hoard weapons, and increase our voice in the doomsday government!" Zheng Jieming answered very clearly.
"How do you get such support? How to improve the right to speak? Jin Hu asked again.
"Yu Zekai has weapons, he has force, and what he lacks is political qualifications, so he urgently needs more survivors to support him. What other politicians lack is real power and armed forces. If we can unite more survivors and have a strong enough armed force, then the people in the Doomsday government will not pose a threat to us casually! Zheng Jieming replied.
"Hahaha, to put it bluntly, I still plan to pull the pie myself." Xue Yongti smiled, "But looking at it now, it can really only be like this." ”
"Not Rapai! Unlike them, we unite the survivors, not to use them, but to better survive the difficult times, and it is soon autumn and winter, and everyone has seen that there is not much food. It must be reasonable to set up a government to mobilize everyone to produce and survive, but we also take the initiative to produce, so that even if something goes wrong with the government in the last days, we will not sink the ship. Zheng Jieming revised Xue Yongti's thoughts.
Jin Hu finally nodded, and accepted Zheng Jieming's meaning.
――――――――
The next morning, Zheng Jieming re-selected six people to go to the venue, and this time he noticed a slight increase in the number of survivors in the venue.
"There are still people living alone in various places, but I'm afraid there aren't many of them. There are still a lot of zombies on the streets, and there are many people who are not actually bitten to death by zombies, but trapped at home and starved to death. Zheng Jieming and others began to take the initiative to talk to the survivors around them, and they also got a lot of such information.
"Sometimes the corpses form a team, but sometimes when these corpses encounter too many forks in the road, they will gradually disperse again, and in the worst cases, the corpses may stay in one place and never disperse, and the people inside will be besieged and killed. My aunt's house is like this, they are in the neighborhood next door, and our family is in a high-rise residence, and we watched the corpses surround their building, until I came to the district government, and they didn't break the siege. The man sitting next to Zheng Jieming said to him.
On stage, Ma Tengdong is still promoting to everyone.
"Among the more than 20 million people in the northern metropolis, there must be tens of millions of people in the central urban area. Most of them have turned into zombies, and I estimate that in the early days of the zombie crisis, there may be more survivors, but as the apocalypse drags on, there may not be many people who survive. In the past two days, we have only gathered 192 survivors. If you can know that there are survivors nearby, please let us know in time, and we will do our best to save more lives. ”
Chang Bing let out a long sigh, she remembered the people she had died all the way, she counted the names of these people one by one, until she counted Liu Junluo, and there was a cold shiver in her back.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Jitang sat next to her, saw that she seemed to be trembling, and asked.
"Nothing...... I'm thinking about ......" Chang Bing was speechless for a while, and she remembered the scene when the man in camouflage clothes attacked everyone for no reason.
Zhou Jitang simply didn't ask anything, and grabbed Chang Bing's cold hand.
"What do you want to do so much, you don't have a good brain." Zhou Jitang lost her.
Chang Bing was damaged by Zhou Jitang's sentence, her train of thought just now was interrupted, and she glanced at him dissatisfiedly, she wanted to break free from Zhou Jitang's hand, but found that she couldn't break free.
After the morning meeting, Zheng Jieming kept looking at Yu Zekai until Yu Zekai walked next to him.
"How's it going, People First Leader, have you figured it out?" Yu Zekai asked.
"We have decided to support you conditionally." Zheng Jieming replied.
"What conditions? Isn't the autonomy of amusement parks enough? Yu Zekai said with some dissatisfaction, as if he was thinking Zheng Jieming was too greedy.
"We demand that the Doomsday Government can fulfill what was just said on the stage and use its greatest strength to save more people." Zheng Jieming first shook a shot.
"Hahaha, isn't this the purpose of our Doomsday Government? Otherwise, what are we for? Yu Zekai laughed a little contemptuously.
"I know you need more people to support, I can help you go out and find more survivors to join the Doomsday government, but these people are given priority to stay in the amusement park and participate in all kinds of construction." Zheng Jieming said.
Yu Zekai frowned.
"Do you want to pull a cottage and be the owner of the village?"
"It's not that exaggerated, I just appeared as an agent of Yu Zekai, the government of Zhongzhou. And, right under your nose, you shouldn't be so sensitive, right? This way you can spread your energy and deal with the few people on stage. Zheng Jieming said.
Yu Zekai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he realized that his biggest concerns and demands had been discovered by Zheng Jieming and others.
"Okay. But if you dare to betray me, I will let you die worse than Rui Zhili. ”
