043 Underestimating people
Zhang Tao originally wanted to go to the turret to make do with Lin Na, but unfortunately Lin Na did not agree, so he could only choose a house with a bathroom on the south side of Liu Quanyou's house. Anyway, he was alone, and he ate together in the small courtyard, and it was enough to sleep in a place where the wind was impermeable and the rain did not leak.
In fact, the two houses next to the west wall of the small courtyard are of better quality, but Hong Tao said that he is not allowed to pick this slippery house, because this string of houses will be demolished in a few days.
Why? Hong Tao said that this is called a firebreak. In the unlikely event that a house catches fire nearby, it will burn a large area. With the ruins of the house about 10 meters wide, it can effectively stop the spread of fire.
Not only the house against the west wall of Courtyard 52 had to be lifted out, but the roof was picked, leaving only the masonry structure. Several rooms in the back courtyard No. 56 against the north wall of Hong Tao's house also had to be cut down like this, including the big jujube tree in the yard.
"Will there be any zombies running in here?" After choosing the house, everyone was busy, and only Liu Quan was more idle. Zhou Jinlan did all the housework, and he stayed in the house to get in the way, so he simply came out to chat with Hong Tao.
"It's unlikely, there is a bolt inside the courtyard door, and the two ends are inserted in the door hole, and the zombies can't open it for a while and a half when they are strong. There are no doors in other places, and zombies don't climb walls. Build a ladder here, and if you need to move in case of an accident, climb up from the ladder, and I'll put a ladder on the other side of the wall as well. "Hong Tao is checking the circuit in the yard, the useful ones are left, and the useless ones are all cut off, if it is not too complicated, it can be powered on before night.
"I'm just asking casually, don't take it to heart......" After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Liu Quanyou spoke again.
"Well, I'm listening......" Hong Tao was still standing on the ladder, holding a wire to find the source.
"Do you have a long-term plan, a little more specific?"
"I thought you would definitely come to talk to me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon...... Okay, let's just talk while we go. Here, take the handle and hold this wire...... Oops, don't worry, there's no electricity! ”
Hearing this question, Hong Tao smiled, and sure enough, he guessed correctly, this director is really not a rice bucket, and he is already thinking about the future. I asked this question to see if there was too much conflict between myself and his ideas, and at the same time, it was also a test of my ability, and it was worth following for a long time.
“…… If that's the case, you'll want to use it as a base...... I have a rough idea, I don't know if it's right, I just casually mention it......"
After listening to Hong Tao's ideas for future development, Liu Quanyou entered into a long period of thought, and only spoke after finishing the external circuits of a family, still saying half intercepted and half intercepted.
"Director Liu, let me also tell you the truth, before there is no better choice, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, I can't run and I can't jump on you, one glory and one loss. As long as it's for the good of the collective, I can accept it even if it doesn't sound good. This is not the time to save face, a person who can't think of it can take a small life, what do you say? ”
Why did Director Liu speak so hard, Hong Tao also understood. People who work in the system are already cautious, and now that there is no law, they have to add a new word. They are very afraid of offending people by saying the wrong thing, and if it is not a particularly important matter, they will not easily make any suggestions, and if they do less, they will make fewer mistakes.
"Yes, yes, I'm thinking too much...... Let's put it bluntly, I thought about it for a while, and I felt that this place was not suitable as a permanent base, and there were too many places to defend. It's easy to do during the day, but if someone comes at night, we're afraid we don't know, even if we send more people on duty, the effect is not great. ”
In fact, what kind of temper is Hong Tao, Liu Quanyou has been secretly observing words and feelings, if he is not sure, he will definitely not come to make suggestions as soon as he joins. Since Hong Tao said it so explicitly, he stopped tempting and said all his worries in one breath.
"Oh, director, who said that our cadres are not level, this opinion is very constructive! It's true that this is not a good place to be a permanent base, but I can't help it, and I really can't find a suitable place for a while. It's a high-rise building, it's indeed more convenient to defend, but once it's fenced off, it becomes a Jedi, and there's nowhere to run. I also want to go to Joan Island in the North Sea, as long as the bridge is blocked, it is an isolated island, and you can enter and exit through the water. But it was too much trouble to collect supplies there, and there was no suitable shelter on the island, so it was easy to do in the summer, but it was very troublesome to heat up in the winter. In addition, I would like to live under the subway station, which is very sturdy in the warm winter and cool in the summer. But any subway station has at least two passages, plus two entrances to the track, it seems that it is quite difficult to defend. I thought about spending the winter here first, looking around to see if there were any survivors, and then moving to an office building with underground space and close to a residential area, preferably two or three buildings with shared underground garages. Unfortunately, there is not enough manpower now, and if you want to renovate that kind of underground space, you need to use large machinery and equipment, and you also need to have a certain amount of professional knowledge, which cannot be completed in a short time. ”
After listening to Director Liu's question, Hong Tao simply stopped what he was doing, got down from the ladder, handed over a cigarette, and squatted under the eaves and began to talk about his vision for the base.
Originally, this matter was not intended to be discussed with Director Liu, and he was an administrative cadre who did not understand this knowledge, and he could not discuss it with any results. I didn't expect to look at people through the crack in the door, and they just pointed out the Achilles heel of the courtyard, which is a bit level.
It may be enough to deal with zombies with little intelligence here, but if you want to compete with other survivor groups for dominance in the future, you will be passive, and you will have birth defects, and the more you build, the greater the defects.
"It's a big problem...... Lao Hong, can I ask more, what did you do before? Liu Quanyou's original intention was to show his hand and attract Hong Tao's attention to raise his value for himself, but he didn't expect so much.
In his eyes, Hong Tao is a social person with good health and great courage, this kind of person is easy to deal with and troublesome, so he must first explore the bottom and then decide how to deal with himself in the future.
After listening to Hong Tao's tirade, he immediately put away his contempt. The people who think of it have already thought of it, and they think more comprehensively and carefully.
This is to meet someone who understands, you can't mix it up as a day according to the original plan, you have to dig out some dry goods, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat. But he and his daughter-in-law have no physical strength, no guts, and the only dry goods that can be taken out are insight.
"Hehe, that's a lot. When I was young, I was a famous bastard in this area, and the threshold of the police station was almost flattened. After graduating from university, I quit my iron job, applied for a scientific research unit of the Ministry of Aerospace, and opened an Internet café and restaurant by myself. ”
Hong Tao has been talking about this history for 20 years, and sometimes even he can't tell which life he did it, and it is naturally very confusing to say it, how to sound it like the truth.
"Oh, this is both civil and military!" Liu Quanyou didn't know what to say, he really didn't expect this person's experience to be so ...... Abundance, now can not be said to put away the contempt, must go all out, I don't know if I can cope with it.
“…… To be honest, it's the first time I've heard someone praise me like this when I've grown so big! Director Liu, I know what you mean, and I also know that you have a level, and in fact, I am willing to let you contribute more to this collective. But the conditions don't allow it for the time being, just seven or eight people, three or four guns, and then make several leaders a bit unusual. But don't worry, if our team can be expanded to ...... Don't have hundreds of people, there can be twenty or thirty people, you are the best choice for the master, what's the matter? ”
Since Liu Quanyou pointed out the current number one flaw, Hong Tao has basically made up his mind, this is a usable talent, and he must be stabilized. How do you use it to stabilize? It's obviously not enough to just give you a chance to live, and if you want people to follow you, you have to pursue a little higher, such as a little power or something.
“…… Comrade Lao Hong, I really don't want to take advantage of the opportunity, don't get me wrong! ”
This promise not only did not make Liu Quanyou ecstatic, but his little face turned pale, and cold sweat came down on his forehead. What is called reactive power, there is no contribution at all, and suddenly a second-in-command promise, this thing is not called happiness, it is called a life talisman.
