Chapter 150: 'The Leader'
With a clearer understanding of his own strength, Ling Tao was even more eager to know how much he was still inferior according to the standards of the Sword Members.
Although strength and speed do not represent a person's combat effectiveness, it is undeniable that with a good physical element, there is a basis for living a strong combat effectiveness.
If you want to get a specific number jù, you have to rely on a special tool to measure, but now the conditions are simple, and there is no need to think about special tools, and you can use the existing tools to get an approximate number jù Ling Tao is satisfied.
Zhou Lin and the others left, the trouble was temporarily lifted, Ling Tao was looking for something to measure his strength, but found that Zhou Mancang didn't know when to stand not far from him and stop talking.
"Brother Zhou, do you have anything to do?" Ling Tao looked at the other party and asked.
Zhou Mancang hurriedly took two steps forward, and was a little restrained, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "That, Brother Ling Tao, can you please help us"?
"Helping you? What do you say", Ling Tao wondered, and while he was talking, he suddenly found that Zhou Lin and the others were gone, and in addition to Zhou Mancang, there was also a large circle of people around him, men, women and children, all of whom looked at him with fear in their eyes.
Zhou Mancang is not a person who is good at words, he didn't say his purpose for a long time, and finally an elderly old man stood up and said to Ling Tao: "Hou Shengzi, it's like this, we are all a bunch of countrymen, we have no knowledge, but now the world has become like this, I am afraid it is impossible for us to survive, after seeing your skills, we people want to ask you to help us, so that we can have hope of living, you can rest assured, as long as you agree, We all listen to you."
"Uh......, all listen to me"? Ling Tao looked at the people around him with a strange expression, and said in surprise, a little overwhelmed, he had been a team leader since he was a child, where had he experienced such a battle.
These villagers living in the mountains have very direct ideas, they will listen to whoever can take them to live, it is a fact that Ling Tao killed mutant hares and mutant cows during the day, not only Zhou Mancang saw it, just now there was a punch that scared Zhou Lin and them back, and found food for them, so Ling Tao's image was tall in their hearts, and it was reasonable to make such a request.
"Yes, as long as we can live, we will all listen to you, don't you know, these days, the big guy is better than dead, and he can't live anymore, but your appearance has made us see hope, please help us", the old man said very sincerely, looking at Ling Tao nervously, for fear that he would not agree.
"However, I'm not from your village, besides, my ability is limited, I'm afraid I can't do it", Ling Tao scratched his head and said, after all, it is the nature of a young man, and he has not experienced this, so it is reasonable to be a little overwhelmed.
There may be no shortage of natural leaders in this world, but Ling Tao is not one of them, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would be busy and agree without hesitation, after all, so many people listen to themselves, which means that they have great power, of course, only limited to this acre and three points of land.
But then again, it was Ling Tao's honest attitude that made the surrounding villagers believe in him even more, although they didn't have much profound wisdom, but the little people still had the eye to see people.
"What if it's not the people of our village, as long as you can take the big guy to live, you can keep the doll in the village from dying miserably before they grow up, if anyone dares to disobey you, I will break his leg", after listening to Ling Tao's words, the old man suddenly said extremely domineering.
This old man looked much older than the dead Uncle Zhou, holding a cane, and looked at the people around him when he spoke, but no one refuted.
"Taigong is Uncle Zhuzi's father, and he is the oldest person in the village," Zhou Mancang explained in a low voice.
Ling Tao suddenly, it turned out that this was the case, in remote rural areas, many times the most effective way to speak is not the village chief, but the oldest person, thousands of years of Chinese tradition, the family concept is deep-rooted, the older person is the person with the highest right to speak in the entire surname, so at this time, Zhou Taigong stood up and spoke so that no one objected.
"Don't be afraid, as long as you can live with the big guy, no one will dare to disobey you", Zhou Taigong once again assured Ling Tao, for fear that he would not agree.
"Yes, as long as I can keep the old doll alive, I will sell you Zhou Shugen's life, you can do whatever you want," said a farmer who stood up and slapped his chest.
"You can help us, if you don't help, I'm afraid we won't live for a few days......."
The people around were begging Ling Tao, the villagers were terrified in the past few days, and they didn't know when they would die, Ling Tao came, not only could kill the mutant beasts, but also brought back food, which suddenly made these villagers find the backbone of the main heart, how could they not hurry up and seize the idea.
In the face of so many sincere faces, although Ling Tao was apprehensive in his heart, he really didn't know how to refuse, so he could only say: "Okay, I'll try, but don't blame me if I don't do well."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, that's right, young people should have responsibility, the lives of our hundreds of people will be handed over to you, the crops are solid, you can call as you like, I have lived so old, I have come over in the past, I have seen too many people die, and the environment today is more dangerous than the war and chaos back then, and death is inevitable, we all know this truth, so you don't have any psychological burden", Zhou Taigong looked at Ling Tao and smiled.
Hearing his words, Ling Tao realized that these people really put their lives on themselves in order to survive, and they were ready to fight against this damn world, and he was their leader.
Before Ling Tao could change from a foreigner to the leader of the villagers, Mrs. Zhou asked Ling Tao eagerly: "Housheng, what are you going to do next?" A few hundred people in our village are counting on you."
Facing so many pairs of eyes around him, Ling Tao had to take a deep breath to catch the ducks on the shelves, thought about it and said: "Everyone sit down, there are some ideas, everyone sit down and I will say slowly."
Hearing Ling Tao's words, the person who was tired of life brought a chair to Ling Tao after a while, and after he sat down, the others did not sit down, and they all wanted to hear Ling Tao's thoughts.
With so many people standing, Ling Tao definitely can't sit, many people here are older than him, and after some persistence, he and Zhou Taigong sat down and everyone else stood, which made Ling Tao extremely awkward.
Under everyone's gaze, Ling Tao said: "Today's environment, everyone has seen, there are dangers everywhere outside, it will be difficult to survive, and if you want to survive in such an environment, we must meet three points, first, there is a safe living environment, second, there is enough food, third, we must have the ability to fight against danger, only by doing these three points, can we survive in such an environment."
After listening to Ling Tao's words, the people around him didn't understand why, and looked at him blankly.
Zhou Taigong on the side asked: "Housheng, can you be specific?"
Ling Tao nodded and said: "Actually, it's very understandable, the three points I just said, in fact, are closely related, there is a safe living environment, we will solve our worries, but life needs food, there is enough food to live, but we don't have much food now, if you want to get food, you have to fight with your life, so we need to arm us, with the capital to have the confidence to fight against danger, in this way, we can ensure a safe living environment, in fact, to put it bluntly, The foundation of Qiē is to be built on our armed forces."
"What Hou Sheng said is right, the foundation of a qiē must be built on strength, let's talk about your specific plan", Zhou Taigong nodded with satisfaction and said.
"I think so, now there are hundreds of people living here, we want a fighter, to protect everyone's safety, to collect food for everyone, because the conditions require, there must be no shortage of fighters, secondly, in addition to combatants, other people can not be idle, we must contribute in other directions, only everyone can work together to live a better life," Ling Tao said.
"Well, yes, then you see how this is, pick out all the people in the village who are over sixteen years old and under sixty years old to act as combatants, you look at the other people and arrange them, there are not many croppers, but you have a handful of strength, you can just call it casually", after listening to Ling Tao's words, Zhou Taigong grabbed his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
"That's not necessary, so let's do it, men over the age of eighteen and under forty, and people with better physical conditions, just select them to act as combatants, these people's main task is to protect everyone's safety and find food, and the other old people and children are trying to build the school we live in, cook for everyone, heal their wounds, and solve their worries," Ling Tao thought about it and said.
"Well, that's good, so what's next," Zhou Taigong asked.
"What happens next, the rear will be arranged by the old lady, and as for me, I will take the fighters to protect everyone's safety and find food," Ling Tao said as he looked at Zhou Taigong.
"It's okay, you can take everyone with you in the next life, I support you, and the rest of the things will be handed over to me, I have lived a lot of years, I can still handle this matter well", Zhou Taigong nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
