Chapter 169: Transfer of Responsibility
Half of the vehicles in the convoy blocked 6 intersections near the gymnasium under Shen Chao's command, and Shen Chao asked them to block the road in order to slow down the advance speed of the zombie crowd after they came.
It is worth noting that the defense line here does not directly encircle the stadium, but the defense line arranged by Shen Chao includes 7 or 8 tall buildings on the periphery, and the barrier formed by vehicles connects these buildings into a whole.
The stadium is equivalent to having a perimeter defense ring system. So they're not just cowering in the stadium, they're now having 7 or 8 buildings under their control. There is enough space for tens of thousands of survivors.
Of course, they will need time to fortify these buildings, close doors and windows, arrange for armed militias to enter defensive positions, and so on. That's right, after this morning's operation, the organizational level of these survivors was recognized by Shen Chao as reaching the militia level.
Although this kind of organization is still a scum in the face of a professional army, it is several grades stronger than when they were fighting separately. It's enough to deal with zombies with no IQ and sporadic lickers.
The thousands of zombies they had previously eliminated with drones accounted for about one-fifth to one-quarter of the total number of zombies in the city, successfully reducing the density of zombies in the city, but this was only temporary.
There are still plenty of lickers in the city, and they're still making new zombies in large numbers, and people screaming can be heard almost all the rest of the city at any time.
Immediately after returning to the gymnasium, the officers began to count the collection of various supplies. According to the original plan. They will count all the supplies in two hours, and then they will determine the next action.
Shen Chao immediately took Matt to a qiē to familiarize himself with the safety zone after getting out of the car. He will soon lead the team away, and when the time comes, the fate of this safe zone will be handed to this popular public figure.
By this time, the security zone had built its own communications center, housed in a large tent on the lawn of a stadium. You can broadcast to the whole city and communicate with any unencrypted channel in the city.
The live broadcast center is still built in the original command room, which is currently the most important place in the security zone, and the power of this security zone is limited. If you want to get through this time safely, you need outside support. And the female reporter's live show is the best channel to help them gain sympathy and assistance from the outside world.
"You want to entrust me with this safe zone?" Matt was surprised, in the command room, Shen Chao had a showdown with him. His ultimate goal in rescuing Matt is to put him in charge of the safe zone.
Matt is one of the few people in the city who is able, prestigious, and willing to selflessly help survivors in this dangerous city.
His abilities can be seen when he commanded the actions of the police officers in the police station before, and he is no longer the young man who collapsed after seeing his sister's death in the hive. He has a whole plan for dealing with Resident Evil, and while not very mature, he is defensive enough.
"You're the right fit. Matt. You can lead them in self-defense, or you can help them gain outside support. That's something we can't do right now. Shen Chao pointed to the thousands of survivors outside the window and said.
"But, I don't know what to do, this is the safe zone you created, why should you give it to me?" Matt still didn't understand why Shen Chao had to hand over this responsibility to him.
Although he was willing to accept the responsibility, he did not have a complete plan in his head right now. He didn't know what to do to protect the survivors from the threat of chemical and biological weapons.
"We have to leave, Matt, we already have a conflict with the army. Staying here only increases the danger for all. Shen Chao briefly introduced the conflict between them and the army and the conversation they had with the two tyrants just now. …,
Matt was shocked again, because this was the direct involvement of the U.S. military, which completely shattered the last bit of expectation in his heart of the U.S. government. Meantime. He also accepted Shen Chao's suggestion and was determined to help the survivors here survive and reveal the truth.
"So what exactly do I need to do to protect this safe zone?" Matt asked, he still wanted to hear Shen Chao's opinion on this kind of matter, after all, the other party's ability in this area was much stronger than him.
"It's simple, look there. What do you see? Shen Chao pointed to the people outside the tent who were counting the materials they had collected.
"People, and the supplies we just gathered. Matt looked puzzled, he didn't know what Shen Chao was hinting at.
"That's right, there are only two things you need to do to keep the people in this safe zone. The first is to keep an eye on the current situation of the survivors. Do they have the supplies they need, do they have disease outbreaks, do they have infections? What is their mental condition? ”
"The second thing is simpler, you want to make sure you have a good supply here at all times. Household supplies and weapons and ammunition are counted, and the quantity and use of various types of materials in the security zone are always known. And know where to get supplements. If you can do both, you'll be up to the job. ”
Shen Chao briefly summarized the two points that need to be paid attention to. In fact, no matter what kind of leadership work it is, it is similar to this, and managers are managing people, not machines.
So managers only need to focus their valuable attention on the direction of the manager. Specific problems can be handed over to the subordinates of the professional counterpart.
The responsibility of the leaders of this safe zone is primarily to ensure that the survivors here have all the necessities they need and can help them secure outside support. That's all it takes to do that.
After all, there are already a lot of people in this safe zone who have experience killing zombies, and many young adults are involved in the morning operation. They are all the guarantors of the safety of this safe zone.
The Safe Zone has passed its infancy, and it no longer needs a leader who is capable of fighting, but a leader who can bring safety and hope to the survivors here.
Matt meets these two conditions, he has a good social image, and he is committed to eliminating biological and chemical weapons, he can not only gain the trust of the people in the safe zone, but also help the safe zone obtain the materials it needs in the later stages.
Shen Chao doesn't believe in the discipline of the media in this world, but he is willing to believe in their power. After all, it was under the media offensive that Ambrera became what she is today.
"That's it? Matt asked, what he needed was Shen Chao's specific ideas, and it was best to teach him what to do.
"That's just the basic idea, come on, I'll introduce you to the safe zone." Shen Chao saw that he wanted to know the detailed arrangement, so he scooped out a hand-drawn map, which the officers had made last night, and spread it on the messy tabletop. A floor plan of the building near the stadium was drawn.
The above marks are predetermined fire points, communication base stations, material reserve locations, and isolation areas...... Simply put, it's a military map. But fortunately, Matt can also read this picture.
He then scooped out a map of the city of Raccoon, explaining their current investigation, the city's major survivor colonies, and bioweapons active sites.
Although this safe zone is the largest in the city, it is not the only settlement, there are several settlements in the city with more than 100 survivors, they are scattered all over the city, and it is necessary to coordinate in advance and make a .........complete plan to move them.
Shen Chao gave him a brief introduction to their earlier development and survivor containment plan, which was formulated to induce Alice to come out, but later encounters made them abandon this plan.
Now that there are more supplies and weapons and ammunition in the security zone, they already have the necessary conditions to implement these plans. It's actually very simple.
On the one hand, the security zone needs to send convoys to collect various supplies and survivors in the city during the day, and on the other hand, the head of the security zone is also responsible for currying favor with the media and enlisting support from the outside world so that they can receive airlift supplies from the outside world.
As long as these two things can be achieved, the safety of this safe zone can be effectively guaranteed. The rest is a matter of time, whether the U.S. military finally decides to start rescuing the survivors in the city, or they enter the city to completely wipe out the zombies, they can finally save the city.
As long as they achieve such a goal, they will be considered to have completed Alice's phased plan.
"What about the periphery?" Matt was referring to the defensive line that Shen Chao had laid out outside. Each building outside the gymnasium they occupied was guarded by at least a full combat squad of 16 people.
Shen Chao's order to them was to stay here and observe the movements on the periphery, ready to defend or retreat at any time. These squads are equipped with a lot of semi-automatic weapons and various medical and daily necessities to ensure their combat capability.
But Matt still didn't know how much point it really made to do that. Because there are still quite a few lickers in the city. It's still too dangerous to put fighters in these outlying buildings.
"Don't worry about the lickers, we'll help you eliminate most of them before we leave. The defensive pressure on the perimeter will not be too great. You should think more about asking for help from the outside world. Shen Chao replied to him.
In fact, at this moment, Custer is manipulating two drones to clean up the bad lickers hidden in the city, although there are still a lot of lickers in the city, but they can't escape the drones with multiple sets of detection equipment.
Custer deliberately avoided the tracker north of the city while manipulating the drone. Because this tracker doesn't look quite the same as the last time they encountered it, not only does it look a little bigger, but the weapon has changed. (To be continued.)
