Chapter 829: Leaks
After dinner, the people of Yashan have already rested at home, but outside the zombie greenhouse, it is a hot momentum, in the cold wind, several open-air cauldron stoves are burning hot in the raging fire, and the members of the guarding troops, from time to time, under the command of Shalin, add firewood to the stove.
On the other side of the street, several flatbed trucks rolled over, loaded with heavy swill tanks with a pungent smell, and the children such as Lu Kai, Lin Jiu, Xie Jian, and Zheng Jiayan pulled the carts.
Sha Lin led the team members to greet him, shouting: "Hurry up, it's late for the swill to arrive today, hurry up and cook in the pot, remember to develop the habit of feeding the zombies at regular times." β
Lu Kai and the other children, together with the members of the guard force, poured the food scraps from the swill tank into the steaming cauldron, and Lu Kai carried a shovel, jumped onto the pot, and kept stirring the food in the pot with the shovel.
This work is extremely tiring, because the steam rising in the pot will force people to sweat after a while, and the exposed face and hands will become even more red, not to mention the sour smell of rotten residues in the pot.
Lin Jiu carefully took off his coat and put it aside, so as not to stain the dirt splashed out of the pot, when he jumped onto the stove with a shovel, when he turned around, he saw Zheng Jiayan bringing a basin of hot water, helping Lu Kai wipe his face, his heart ached, don't overdo it, stir it with a shovel.
Lin Jiu has been working hard in Yashan, and among the children, he can be regarded as outstanding, especially after learning a lot of electrical knowledge from Qiu Weiqin. Ordinary circuit maintenance is no longer a problem, some time ago, some villages outside the Yinjiang River to restore the power supply project, is designed and constructed by him, not only the construction period is short, there has not been a safety accident, for which Wang Lu praised.
However, Lin Jiu found that the distance between himself and his rival Lu Kai was getting farther and farther away.
Lu Kai has a special ability, in the salary assessment. Achieved level 7. Although under Wang Bi'an, it is far more than the 3rd level of the children in the school, although Lin Jiu is rated as a 4th level because he works part-time in the Ministry of Electric Power. After the official job, you will be able to have level 5. But the supply of various materials still can't be compared with Lu Kai at all.
And more importantly. For some reason, Zheng Jiayan's attitude towards Lu Kai suddenly changed greatly, and she, she even moved to Lu Kai's house. Lin Jiu didn't blame Zheng Jiayan for changing his mind. I only hate that Lu Kai must have done some shady tricks behind his back.
The more Lin Jiu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he started a little heavier, and suddenly, the food in the pot spurted out of the edge of the pot and splashed to the ground, and Sha Lin rushed over: "Lin Jiu, be careful, this bit of food has only been collected in total, and there are more than 1,500 zombies that need to be fed, so it can't be wasted." β
When the food was finally cooked, the crowd wore insulated gloves and lifted the pot down, and then -- and poured it into a cement mixer, which rumbled and broke the food further, and everyone put the paste-like food into the trolley and pushed it into the zombie shed.
In the zombie shed, there are more than 1,500 zombies standing quietly, they are wearing uniform labor protection clothes, liberating shoes, and small red cloth strips with numbers on their chests. The strict and long-term commands of the Wise Corpse have been ingrained in their brains.
Shalin held a stack of small notes in his hand and waved: "Attention to the feeding team, this is the number of zombies who have performed well today, these zombies have two scoops each, and the rest are one scoop according to the old rules." β
Lu Kai, Zheng Jiayan, Xie Jian and Lin Jiuzi were divided into groups, Zheng Jiayan received a small note from Sha Lin's hand, Lu Kai held a big water scoop in his hand, Lin Jiu pushed a small cart containing food and pushed it to the zombie team that his group was responsible for feeding.
Zheng Jiayan looked at the number on the note, and pointed at the small cloth strip on the zombie's chest: "No. 317, two scoops." β
Xie Jian grabbed the zombie's head, broke his mouth open, turned it to the sky, and inserted a funnel in his hand into the zombie's throat, Lu Kai scooped a scoop full of steaming food from Lin Jiu's cart with a large scoop of water, and poured it into the funnel. Such hot food, if someone else came to eat it, it would be scalded to death, but the zombie was motionless, Lu Kai poured two scoops in a row, and then replaced a zombie.
The whole process is similar to cramming.
Before Shalin came to the zombie guard troops, feeding the zombies was to directly throw the food into the greenhouse, and then the zombies were robbed, but this practice was severely criticized by Shalin, thinking that the guards were too lazy, so that the zombies were full and hungry to death, so he came up with the current set, balanced nutrition, fair feeding method, and even cooked food has a saying - change the habit of zombies eating raw meat, cooked food is easier to digest.
A member of the team once asked if they could send a staff member of the efficiency office to assist - as long as people give an order, the zombies will obediently eat. As a result, he was scolded by Shalin - the staff of the efficiency office are all busy, how can they use such a trivial matter as feeding to disturb people, besides, everything must be done with efficiency, what do you do with zombie guards? Do you eat white food?
Now that it is the limelight of system reform, the team members don't dare to touch the mold at all, even if they are not driven out of Yashan, they can't stand the salary reduction by one level, and I heard that Captain Wang praised Shalin's method of managing zombies, so no one dared to say that it was not.
The reason why Lu Kai and other big children came here to be babysitters for zombies was because Wang Lu required every child who graduated from the Military Training Department for minors to go to the zombie guard unit for an internship and exercise for a period of time before going to a formal job.
Lu Kai was not satisfied with this one hundred and twenty, and it was no problem to let him kill the zombies, but now he actually asked him to serve the zombies, which is really breathtaking, if Zheng Jiayan didn't insist on working here, he would have left long ago.
The children were chatting quietly while feeding the zombies, and Xie Jian asked Lin Jiu: "Lin Jiu, I heard that you joined some local history learning interest group, is it true?" β
Lin Jiu nodded: "Yes, we will study every day, and when the work here is finished, I will rush there." β
Xie Jian was a little curious: "What is there to learn about local history?" I originally wanted to go and have a look, but Director Xie Yaguo said that at present, we will not recruit students from Shangtian and Qiangjiao, and we will talk about it when the classes are expanded in the future. β
Lin Jiu said honestly: "It is to learn the history of our Yashan since its establishment, Director Xie Yaguo said that only by taking history as a mirror can we know how difficult it is to establish Yashan, cherish the current life, and work hard to defend our homeland." Captain Wang will often come to give us lectures. We have to memorize these contents, and we have to take exams every week. β
Lu Kai said impatiently beside him: "Is there a mistake?" Endorsement? Examination? Such a boring thing can only be done by you, Lin Jiu. Hey. I know. You joined this interest group because you have a food subsidy, right? Really, what is something? Is it worth endorsing like a fool every day? If you don't have enough to eat, come to me. I can't eat all the things I send at home. β
The anger on Lin Jiu's face flashed. He whispered, "No need." My salary is enough, although I can't have anything left, but I'm just single, and I have enough to eat. The whole family is not hungry. β
Lu Kai was about to continue to laugh at Lin Jiu, but when his hand shook accidentally, the food in the water scoop splashed on the zombie, and his shoulders and chest were stained a lot, Lu Kai scolded a foul word: "Damn!" Shalin is going to punish us for washing the zombies again. --Sarin requires the zombies to look neat and tidy, wear uniform work clothes, and if they get dirty, they have to be cleaned - of course, the zombies themselves will not be washed, and they have to be washed by "nannies", and worse, in order to save water and electricity, Sarin is not allowed to use a washing machine, but hand washing.
Lu Kai doesn't even wash his own clothes, how can he be willing to wash the clothes of the zombies, not to mention, while washing the clothes, he has to help the zombies wipe their bodies.
Zheng Jiayan hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'll come, I just took a look, the team of zombies we took care of, and several of them soiled their clothes because they were working in the field, anyway, they have to be washed together, it doesn't matter if you wash more than one and less often." β
Lu Kai shouted, "What, Jiayan, do you still want to stay and wash clothes?" Captain Wang sent some strawberries to my mother, and I was about to take you home to eat, who is impatient to serve these stinky zombies - that, Lin Jiu, you live alone anyway, and you have nothing to do at night, so just do my brother a favor, give these zombies a bath, and wash their clothes casually. β
Zheng Jiayan glanced at Lu Kai: "Why are you bothering Lin Jiu again, didn't Lin Jiu just say that he still wants to participate in the study interest group." β
Lin Jiu smiled: "It's okay, this job is simple, it will be good soon, I'll do it." β
Zheng Jiayan wanted to say something, but Lu Kai had already said with a big grin: "Thank you, Lin Jiu, you are worthy of being a brother for many years." When Ming'er goes to school, I'll bring you a few strawberries, which are absolutely pollution-free green food. β
After the children finished feeding the zombies, Lu Kai took Zheng Jiayan and Xie Jian to leave together, leaving only Lin Jiu and a few zombies to the side to take a bath.
Lin Jiu first stripped off the clothes on the zombies, then carried the water pipe in one hand and a long-handled brush in the other, and began to bathe the zombies.
These zombies who work for various departments in Yashan are carefully selected, strong, with sound limbs, no scars, except that their faces are still ugly and ferocious, the bodies of zombies are not as dirty as people expect, the reason is very simple, because zombies do not excrete and do not sweat. In the past, the dirty image of zombies was mainly caused by long-term open-air life in the wild, but in Yashan, they were well-fed and rested regularly, and they had uniform uniforms, and there was not much filth excreted by themselves, so it was easier for Lin Jiu to clean.
I bathed the zombies, washed all the clothes, and put them on the zombies when I got wet, but I don't need to pay attention to this aspect, anyway, the zombies don't feel like they're not.
Lin Jiu was putting on a zombie's shirt, when he was suddenly stunned, his hand stroked the zombie's abdomen, there, there was a scar, a scar that was dissected and re-stitched.
It's really, really, weird.
Yashan used to practice dissection with zombies, which is even a skill that everyone must learn, but since the large-scale use of zombie labor, it has never practiced with "home" zombies, even if it is a zombie caught from the wild, after receiving dissection exercises, it will be stitched up and released back into the mountains, instead of being directly executed as before.
The zombie in front of Lin Jiu had a sturdy appearance, and judging from the number on his chest, Zheng Jiayan had also read its number. It shows that it is more flexible and efficient than ordinary zombies, how can such zombies be sent to the health center to practice anatomy casually?
Lin Jiu stroked the scar, puzzled, and at this moment, a gentle question came from behind him: "Lin Jiu, isn't the work finished yet?" Would you like to help? β
Lin Jiu turned around, but it was Sha Lin, the captain of the zombie guard force, who looked at him with a smile, and Sha Lin said, "I've worked hard for you today, everyone is gone." You're still busy. β
Lin Jiu glanced at it. Sure enough, only two people were left in the greenhouse, and the others had already left. He hurriedly dressed the zombies: "That's it, Captain Sha." β
Sha Lin stepped forward to help Lin Jiu put on the clothes sleeves of the zombies. Zombie joints are stiff. The sleeves are more difficult to wear. He said: "Lin Jiu, you are a good boy, and you have been working hard all the time. In your internship report, I will praise you well, and I hope that you will continue to work in the future when you reach a formal job. β
Lin Jiu hurriedly said thank you, after the two brought the zombies back to the team, Lin Jiu said goodbye to Sha Lin, and left in a hurry, he also had to go to the local history study interest group to take classes, the time was a little late, but don't be late, Director Xie Yaguo is not as friendly as Sister Xie Ling, although he can't scold, but his face is put there, and everyone doesn't dare to breathe, I heard that he has managed a large enterprise with thousands of people before, and he really has some ability.
Lin Jiu thought of Sha Lin and said that he would let himself work hard in the future, alas, what is the use of working hard, in Yashan, the ability is the most concerned, Lu Kai's bastard, isn't it just relying on a little ability to be so proud all day long? It's a pity that Zheng Jiayan doesn't know what the devil is, obviously he has recognized Lu Kai's true face before, and he has turned against him, but recently he has rebuilt the old friendship, and he is even more affectionate than before, could it be that it is because Lu Kai has a special ability and sets such a high salary that Zheng Jiayan threw himself into his arms - no, no, no, Zheng Yan can't be so shallow - damn it, if he also has special abilities, how good it would be.
Lin Jiu was thinking wildly as he hurriedly ran through the streets of Yinjiang Town, he felt a little cold, and he couldn't help but hug his shoulders - and then, he was stunned on the street. Damn it! I forgot my coat! When cooking food for zombies, because I was afraid of getting my clothes dirty, I took them off first and put them aside, and then I was in a hurry to feed the zombies, bathe and wash their clothes, and when I left the greenhouse in a hurry, I actually pulled my clothes in the greenhouse.
Lin Jiu cursed, turned around and ran wildly, this time it is dead, the study interest group is definitely going to be late.
Lin Jiu rushed to the shed guarding the zombies, and on the way, he met four armed forces members who were supposed to be on duty in front of the shed, and those team members recognized Lin Jiu and asked kindly: "Lin Jiu, what are you doing in such a hurry?" β
Lin Jiu had to stop and said with a wry smile: "The clothes are pulled down." By the way, uncles, aren't you on duty? How did you get off the job? β
The team members smiled: "It's okay, Captain Sarin gave us a holiday, saying that he lives next to the greenhouse anyway, and he will come to keep watch for half the night." Captain Sand is a good person, and he often helps us on duty. β
Lin Jiu didn't have the heart to chat with those team members, hurriedly said goodbye, and ran to the greenhouse.
From a distance, Lin Jiu saw the sentry shed next to the greenhouse, but strangely, outside the closed gate, he didn't see the figure of Sha Lin who was supposed to be standing guard.
Strange, where will Captain Sarin go?
Lin Jiu panted heavily, walked around the sentry, and went to the nearby Shalin's house to take a look, but he didn't find Shalin.
Lin Jiu ran back to the greenhouse, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and suddenly heard something in the greenhouse, he looked in the crack of the door, and in the big boron with the lights off, there seemed to be a faint figure shaking, Lin Jiu's eyes widened - that, that was Captain Shalin!
Lin Jiu was just about to call out, but suddenly closed his breath suddenly-the sarin in the greenhouse seemed to be a little strange.
I saw Shalin shuttling among the zombies, and after a while, a zombie was pulled out of the zombie group. After taking the zombie aside, Shalin lightly took off the zombie's clothes, and then, he took out a small knife, slashed the zombie waist, and then, pulled his hand into the knife, pulled out the internal organs, andβthen he stood there and gulped the zombie's organs dripping with black corpse fluid.
Lin Jiu didn't know how long he had been standing outside the door of the shed, and it wasn't until Sha Lin re-stitched the knife edge on the zombie's abdomen that he left the door of the shed stiffly and lightly.
Because Lin Jiu was not wearing a coat, his hands were blown cold by the cold wind, but his heart was extremely hot.
Because he knew the origin of the scars on the zombies he saw in the bath, he even knew the reason why Shalin secretly devoured the internal organs of zombies!
In this world, there is no impermeable wall, and after the return of the Yashan caravan, there was a rumor that they had met a group of perverted survivors on a seaside, and they lived by eating zombie meat. In the eyes of everyone, eating human flesh is bad enough, and eating zombie meat is as perverted as eating corpses. But some people faintly say that the group of survivors ate zombie meat not just for food, but because eating zombie meat can make people have special abilities. This is even more nonsense, none of the supernatural people in Yashan are eaten by eating zombie meat. So this absurd and bizarre statement quickly disappeared from Yashan, and no one took him to heart. (To be continued......)
