Chapter 32: Catherine
Li Xin stayed in the place arranged by the poem. Not long after resting, they were woken up from their sleep, and Shihan gave them to join the clean-up team and be responsible for cleaning up the mutant beasts. Actually, this mission is to clean up the mutant beasts on the territory that is about to be occupied, a simple task. Hundreds of good companions were divided into several teams, and it was their job to gradually clean up the nearby floors to make sure that there were no mutant beasts entrenched.
The second shift change, Li Xin is already familiar with this work. When searching for floors, it's all a matter of luck to see if you run into mutants, and if you're lucky, they'll be able to get out of their jobs and then go back to rest after the shift, which is a bit nostalgic for the work of the old days. Of course, not everyone's luck is good, and sometimes casualties are inevitable.
"We've confirmed that the mutant beasts in this building have been completely cleared." Li Xin looked at the corpses of mutant beasts in one place and said hello to a man in charge of backup.
These guys, who look like bats and people, are too weak, and there are about a dozen of them. Li Xin almost killed most of them personally, and the remaining two were pierced through the heart by Yayun's electric shock, and the others were besieged and killed by everyone. This 100-person clean-up force cooperated very tacitly, vigilantly cleaning up the mutant beasts hiding in any corner, and it was no wonder that they were able to recover these places along the way.
Most of the corpses will be dismembered and turned into armor or food, and the rest will be used for waste, and some of the things on their bodies can even be used as fuel or fertilizer for plants.
"One of the squads was attacked, and three people were killed and several were seriously injured." Shihan came over when the others were reconciled, his face was a little ugly, and in the clean-up army, the dead people did not often live.
"It's a dangerous job, and it's inevitable that someone will die once in a while, so you don't have to be too sad." Li Xin didn't know what to say to comfort the other party, so he only said what he thought in his heart. His reassurances didn't seem to work, and many people around him gave him glaring glances.
Li Xin shrugged his shoulders helplessly, pulled Yayun to sit and find a place to rest, and the rest of the logistics personnel handled it, they looked for a suitable place to set up a defensive circle, and a new camp would soon be set up again. The remaining combatants only need to be protected from finding attacks while the camp is being built.
A large group of people soon set up a blazing torch to dispel the darkness around them, the burning material in the torch was fuel extracted from the internal organs of some kind of mutant beast, and one after another trucks drove over, lined up on the perimeter, blocking the gate as a temporary barrier, a large amount of goods on the trucks were unloaded, and people began to build a barrier wall, all in an orderly manner. These walls are not meant to keep out mutant beasts, but to prevent hordes of skeletons from breaking into the camp, and the wandering skeletons are their strongest shield.
No living creature likes to be the enemy of a group of skeletons, and it will kill all the skeletons without getting the slightest benefit, and it is more likely to be in a deep crisis. The area they occupied was not large, less than half a street, and they only wanted to expand the perimeter crookedly, and this gradual silk method, although very slow, was steady and effective, ensuring that there would be no trouble and that the damage would be minimized.
Li Xin and the others hitchhiked back, and the treatment of the clean-up unit was good. A small piece of roasted and somewhat browned meat, mixed with some boiled mutated plants, mushrooms and the like, can also be regarded as a fruitful meal, at least get rid of those disgusting meat, Li Xin's mood is much better, change into a set of clothes he just found, and walk around the camp with Yayun.
This place is indeed more complete than the two expected, along the way, they have seen a unified food processing plant, a place where armor and weapons are manufactured, and I have heard others say that everyone who needs it can receive a piece of armor, or weapons and the like, which can be regarded as a clear reward and punishment. Yayun also appeared in a strange place, the treasure exchange, there is also a type of people in the camp, they go out to explore, collect those precious materials around the city will be exchanged here for what they need, they are another type of people who depend on the camp and survive, call themselves explorers.
Yayun was about to return to her residence when she suddenly said, "By the way, what are you doing now, and we haven't thanked her properly?" ā
"Maybe she has her own things to deal with," Li Xin was quite satisfied with such a posthumous death. If one day, he gets tired of the work of the cleaning troops, maybe he can change his mind and organize an expedition, and it is actually not bad to live an exciting life. Of course, this qiÄ requires the survival of the survivor camp of this utopia, and it is indeed a paradise for people who are tired of a bad life.
At the same time, at the headquarters of Utopia's Area A.
"Those nasty guys in the army, what kind of strength is respected, and they think how great they are, the old lady can turn over a group of them with one hand." Catherine huffed as she walked down the hall, tapping her fingers on the sand table above the round table. The flaming torches around the hall dispelled the darkness, and the glow of the fire reflected on Catherine's blazing rainbow armor, making the valiant warrior look even more heroic.
"We have to admit that the military does make up most of the city, most of them are from military backgrounds, and most of them are brave and good at fighting, and they are indeed much better than us." Anton glanced at the sand table on the table, most of the people in the army were active in the northeast of the city, and they had little control over that large area at all, and most of them took the plundering of most of the resources to serve the strong, which meant that the typical weak prey on the strong, and the weak lived a bad life.
"If you want to get rid of the guy who claims to be a general, I have a good candidate, Shihan's two friends are very strong, and they seem to be very good at killing, and their strength should not be weaker than the general, it is completely possible to kill that guy, after the general dies, the army will inevitably be disrupted......" Anton noticed the malicious gaze cast by Shihan, and quickly changed his words with a smile and apologized: "I'm just joking, don't be angry." ā
"If we continue to expand, sooner or later we will have a conflict with the lives of the military, which will be unavoidable." Catherine couldn't help but sigh: "Although the city is still in the hands of humans, the power of humans is still too weak after all, and it is not easy to really take over the city. Now we still have to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, we must speed up the recruitment of other survivors to join, and do our best to expand our power and strive for more living space. As long as we are strong enough, presumably the army will not dare to be so arrogant in front of us. ā
"That's right." The other managers all nodded the same thing, the most important thing at the moment is to compete for their own strength.
"What is the situation in your respective areas, there should be no accidents" Catherine looked around, swept a few managers, and finally landed on Shihan's body, and said with a smile: "Your friend, his strength seems to be very good. I didn't expect to take Area G so quickly, and I'm afraid I didn't have such a degree, it only took thirty-two hours, including the construction of the city wall. Now our question arises, who will manage this new G area? Catherine fiddled with the pocket watch that was hanging from her belt, waiting for the others to build yƬ.
Seeing that no one spoke, Catherine stared at the pile of building sand tables on the table, and said: "You also noticed that the closest perimeter of Area G, without the protection of the skeletons, this means that this area may be attacked by mutant beasts, I know that none of you are willing to borrow this dangerous job, now I have a good candidate, Shihan, I remember that your two friends are very strong, maybe they will be willing to take over this responsibility." ā
"However, they have only been here for a few days, and I am worried about ......"
"If you're worried, I wonder if I can understand that you're willing to be the manager of Area G, and as for the original area, I think I can find an acquaintance in the original area to take over." Catherine glanced around at the Administrator, "I'd be glad if any of you were willing to take on this task. ā
In the position of the sand table, that represents the city, and the branches represent the area they occupy, which can only be said to be a corner of the city, but the defense she rules is already very objective, in a few months, they will occupy more territory before the sky is completely dawn, and those skeleton monsters will be the best defense tools. However, the current Area G, which is on the periphery of all cities, has little connection with other cities, is easy to find attacks, and does not receive assistance for a short time. Naturally, no one would want to take on this hot task on their own initiative.
No one vetoed it, and the matter acquiesced.
After the meeting, everyone left, and the poem was left by Catherine, and she said solemnly: "That friend of yours is called Li Xin, right, when, find a chance for him to come to see me, I want to ask him about this matter personally, if he is really as tough as you say, he is indeed very suitable to be this manager." ā
Shihan suddenly said: "He has his own woman, and he likes her very much." ā
This sentence was a little confusing, but Catherine said disappreciatively, "I know, but who would mind this little thing?" Maybe we'll be close together in some way. ā
"I thought you already had a bunch of men."
"Are you talking about the other managers? Each one seems to be good, but it doesn't meet my appetite, or their possessiveness is too strong, and in some things, I can't back down, let alone let them get an inch, although I am the eldest sister here, everyone has to listen to me, but you also know that things are not as simple as imagined. ā
"I'll bring him to see you later, and as for those things, you can handle it yourself." After the poem was finished, he left without looking back.
