"You probably all know, but we're going to introduce ourselves, I'm Archer, and that's my partner, Custer. Shen Chao took off his armor and introduced. The audience in front of him was a little surprised, and Shen Chao didn't know how much he was surprised that he was Asian, or surprised that they took off their helmets. But he continued.

"Of course, that's just our code name. To avoid trouble. I hope you don't hold our real names accountable. Shen Chao took this as the conclusion of his self-introduction, and when he saw that everyone understood, he began to get to the point.

"As a professional, I don't talk to the bit. Gentlemen, we are not in a good situation right now, and the survivors here are counting on us for some time to come. Therefore, we need to do our best to establish some basic order to avoid chaos. As soon as Shen Chao opened his mouth, it was the most severe reality. But almost no one at the scene understood what he meant.

"Sir, sir. Former second lieutenant of the Marine Corps, what are you talking about in confusion? A strong young man who looked to be less than 30 years old asked after saluting Shen Chao.

: "Stealing, robbing, forcible X, etc. Shen Chao explained very bluntly.

"Mr. Archer, why do you think this is happening? The female reporter asked, holding a tape recorder that could record.

"Gentlemen, what is the basis of order? Shen Chao did not directly answer the reporter's question, he looked at the crowd and asked rhetorically.

"A steady supply of necessities. This is the basis of order. With all this there will be order, and not everyone will be able to receive a rationing system of military grade. I have traveled to many countries, and I have witnessed the collapse of social order in some war-torn countries. And we're facing a similar problem now. Shen Chao saw that no one answered them for a while, and gave an answer. He doesn't shy away from pointing out the biggest threats facing survivors right now. Then he began to refine his rhetoric.

"Unlike what many of you think, order does not collapse slowly, and in the context of a catastrophe, it is likely that order will suddenly collapse in a very short period of time. It is likely that we have more than 1,000 survivors here, but from what I have observed, it is likely that only half of them are carrying food and water that they can use for more than 2 days. Now, you can see what I mean. Shen Chao didn't finish his words, he asked the people in front of him to imagine what would happen if they didn't have basic daily necessities.

"This means that if we don't do something about it, tomorrow morning a survivor will report that something has been stolen, and the day after tomorrow there will be a few hungry guys who will openly rob other survivors who are weaker than him." Gentlemen, I'm not alarmist, I've seen such things happen with my own eyes. The crowd was silent, and a large number of soldiers and policemen in front of him were persuaded by him.

"Do you really think that the citizens of Raccoon City will be so unbearable?" The female reporter asked, she didn't seem to believe Shen Chao's remarks.

"Man is capable of anything in times of despair. And civilians, when faced with combat, are always prone to despair. Caster, who was standing next to him, answered this question for Shen Chao, his words were very polite, but no one objected.

"So what can we do to prevent these things from happening?" A black man asked, and Shen Chao recognized him as the leader of a team of survivors who had decided to follow them at the checkpoint. At this moment, he seemed to have changed into a new piece of clothing, and there was no blood on his body.

"We can't do anything tonight, the survivors are almost all civilians, they don't have the ability to fight continuously. Especially at night. We can only do some basic preparations tonight. Prepare for tomorrow's actions. Shen Chao unceremoniously evaluated the military literacy of the survivors, of course, no one here objected to his statement, because these people in front of him basically regarded his words as a compliment to their small group of people. …,

"But there are a few things that are very urgent and we have to get it done before dawn. Shen Chao emphasized.

"First, we need to take stock of all survivors, young and old. Pregnant women count as two people. Count the number of people and see if they have been bitten or bruised. If there is, isolate them immediately, I don't care if he just hit his knee, anyone with a new wound needs to be isolated. ”

"Second, we need to take stock of the weapons and ammunition in the hands of all the survivors, and see how many automatic weapons we have, how many precision rifles, pistols, ...... Guns of the same caliber must be confirmed how many are there, and the number of ammunition must be accurate to the single digit......"

"Third, take stock of how much food and water the survivors have and distribute more than they need for two days to the survivors who need it urgently. ”

"Fourth, integrate our armed forces, arrange for people to take turns to keep vigils, and guard at various key points and outside the stadium In addition to the above four points, the most important thing at the moment is the first, we don't know how many people we are managing at the moment, and how many people have been injured. This is especially true if we want to survive the whole crisis here, we must first understand how much power we have at our disposal, and how many young adults in the crowd are combat-ready young adults. ”

"Sir, why do you want to arrange for someone to be on guard outside?" Wouldn't that be too dangerous? A tall, middle-aged man in the group asked.

"We are not the only survivors of the city, in fact the vast majority of the city's residents are still trapped in the city. Some of them will come for help, and we need to know in advance that they are coming, so that we can receive them. And now the situation in the city is complicated, and we need outside observation posts to help us warn of danger. Shen Chao explained that he was still more worried about Ambrella's involvement.

They have not yet intercepted Ambrera dropping chemical and biological weapons into the city. But that doesn't mean they won't be encountered. After all, Ambrera is in an awkward position right now, and it's hard to say what they're going to do.

"After the population inventory, we need to integrate the armed forces in our hands. Which of you are leading a team of survivors? After Shen Chao finished explaining, he asked, and immediately after he finished asking, 7 or 8 people raised their hands.

"Very well, how many people have military experience?" Most of the crowd raised their hands, and only four or five of the 30 or so people had no military experience. This ratio made Shen Chao very satisfied, because in any case, people with military experience always have a stronger sense of tactics than ordinary civilians. Even if the people in front of him were cannon fodder soldiers, he could let them take on the duties of junior officers, commanding civilians who had never shot at a real target before today.

How many of you are officers? Corporal and above. At this time, 11 people raised their hands, the proportion was a little less, but it was enough, Shen Chao asked them to report their ranks, and it turned out that among these people, there was actually a Marine Corps lieutenant, two ensignships of different branches of the military, and a few remaining non-commissioned officers.

Shen Chao was more satisfied with their level, on the one hand, because there was no higher rank than him, and on the other hand, these guys in front of him were not of high rank, the kind of bureaucratic officers who did not sit in the office, and a few of them were said to have participated in actual combat before. It's been a very valuable experience.

"From now on, your military rank will be restored. Lieutenant Bell, after this meeting. You are responsible for immediately directing the inventory of the population, and the rest of you are to cooperate with his command, understand? ”

"Sir, what about you?" Didn't you say, your rank, will you still command us? The young man asked before, he was an army sergeant, the kind of typical combat cannon fodder. …,

"The highest rank I've ever been awarded is Captain, but that was a long time ago. Custer was a major in the Army, so we're in charge of all of you, do you have any objections? Shen Chao didn't exaggerate, speaking of which, Custer's medals are a lot more than Shen Chao's.

"No, sir," the group replied, but only a few civilians did not react and did not shout along.

"Okay, the meeting is over, immediately implement the population inventory plan" Shen Chao announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then he left with Custer, they still have a temporary prisoner to interrogate.

Lieutenant Bell is a veteran of the Gulf War, technically he is the most qualified person among these survivors to command military operations, and it is precisely because of this that Shen Chao gave him the task of counting the population, arranging for the survivors to organize group inspections, inventory of the population and mandatory inspection of whether anyone in the population is infected, and so on.

These tasks could not be done by a few people in a short period of time, Shen Chao mobilized all the survivors, assigning the officers who had weapons among them to the officers he appointed, and asked them to check the civilians first, and then check each other.

Ten minutes after the start of the examination, the first person who was bitten was found in the crowd, then the second, then the third...... In the end, among the 1,274 survivors counted, a total of 14 suspected infected people were found, and Shen Chao instructed the other survivors to forcibly separate them from their families, tie them to the stands away from the crowd with ropes, and arrange for 10 young people with guns to take turns guarding these people.

Only a few of the 14 people were sure to have been bitten or scratched by zombies, and many of the others were just accidentally scratched by something today. Shen Chao could see it, but the standard could not be lowered, and anyone who had the possibility of infection was charged. The quarantined people naturally didn't like Shen Chao's arrangement, but they couldn't fight against others, and in the end they could only be locked away from the crowd, waiting for the end of their lives or a new life.

After arranging these, Shen Chao also felt a little tired, it was a kind of mental exhaustion. From a physical point of view, Shen Chao could still support himself for several days without sleep, but the current mental pressure was something he had not expected before. Now he is responsible for the lives of more than 1,000 people!
