Chapter 611: Integration
The governess is a ray of sunshine for a few young people adrift in the bleak wind and rain, and she treats them like her own students rather than her subordinates.
Although they have only been together for a short month, it is a rare warm and happy feeling.
Unfortunately, the happiness was short-lived, and their only ray of sunshine was swallowed up by darkness.
People have fears, and when they stumble and express the guilt and regret in their hearts, I didn't comment.
Because they are afraid of death, because they are used to being bullied, the blood in their bones has almost disappeared.
They didn't know about the night of the teacher's accident, but when they heard about it the next day, they chose to swallow their anger and didn't dare to seek revenge from the golden tooth.
They are often blackmailed, beaten, and fearful of the Golden Fangs.
So no matter how angry I was afterwards, I gritted my teeth and endured it.
This matter is ostensibly in the past, but they always have a thorn in their hearts, wanting to seek justice for the woman and fearing the golden tooth and the powerful behind him.
People's hearts are often full of contradictions, they want to punish evil, but they are afraid of the consequences, my appearance may have stimulated them, so Yu Liangxuan's reaction when he heard that Golden Tooth was going to invite me to dinner would be so intense.
They were afraid that I would be the second female teacher, and that fear had inspired their courage, and that they could no longer bear any more condemnation of their conscience, so they were determined to die, and prepared to go out to find the Golden Tooth desperately.
To be honest, I just invited them to a meal, far from the point where I needed them to lay down their lives for me, especially since there was a huge gap between friend and foe, and they would be sent to death if they went.
"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It's all nonsense to talk about when your life is gone, don't be sad, your female teacher's revenge has been avenged. ”
A few people looked at me in a daze, and I pointed out to them the padded jacket tied to the back seat of the car, and my bicycle was placed under the window.
Xu Silin said: "You... You ...... them."
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly stopped at my cuffs, and when he beat the gold teeth to the point that his face was covered in blood, my sleeves were also stained with blood, especially the blood on the turmeric cloth.
"Give back to others in their way." I peeled off a peanut and threw it in my mouth, smiling back.
Those guys were delirious, they were locked in the warehouse on such a cold day, they didn't wear cotton clothes yet, and the communication tools were confiscated by me, so the end would definitely not be better.
When Xun He heard my answer, he reacted the same as the boss, telling me to run away quickly and not delay for a moment.
"What are you afraid of, I'm fine, I can talk to Vice Mayor Ji, don't worry, the matter is not as serious as you think." The real reason why I am so calm still needs to be kept secret, so I have to casually pull the mountain of Captain Ji so that they can rest assured.
"Really?" Yu Liangxuan asked with a glare.
"Of course!" I nodded sincerely.
"However, if you know Vice Mayor Ji and can talk to him, how can you be assigned to our group? We are notoriously death squads. Xu Silin asked with a blink of confused eyes.
"Death Squad? It's a cool name, what's so bad? ”
"I, each of our captains, will not survive more than a month after taking office." Xu Silin lowered his head slightly and said in a weak tone.
"We have changed more than a dozen captains, and the captain's position has been vacant in recent months, and no one dares to come, saying that we are a few gram leaders." Yu Liangxuan said.
"Comrades, feudal superstition is unacceptable, you are the new youth of the new era, there is no such thing as a leader of the new era, there must be their life is not hard enough, I am different, I am a small strong, I can't die."
A few people didn't react with wooden faces, and I didn't know if they didn't understand my jokes, or if my jokes weren't funny, which made me very frustrated.
"Okay, eat peanuts, go to the old place for dinner in the evening, and then go to the market." I'm going to sell all the clothes and weapons of the Golden Tooth and buy some equipment for the new little brother.
I noticed that Xu Silin's weapons were old-fashioned batons, and only some community security guards were still using them before the disaster.
This thing may have an advantage over people with bare hands, and it is better to use a burning stick when it comes to people with other weapons.
No matter how much I say to appease them, they may not believe them, and they can only prove with practical actions that I am not afraid.
They looked at me for a while, and seemed to see that my composure was not like pretending, and gradually relaxed.
After destroying a bag of peanuts, we went on patrol and had a full meal at noon, and in the afternoon they were obviously much more energetic in pedaling.
There was food in the stomach, there were calories in the body, and the spirits of several people were better than in the morning.
At the end of the evening, we went to the snack bar to rub again, and the boss saw that I was in the mood to take them to eat and drink, so he didn't persuade me to run away.
At noon, I was just full, and I had to eat well at night, I ordered eight dishes, meat and vegetarian matching, accompanied by the boss's homemade tomato juice, and everyone finally ate a decent meal.
The rest of the security team does not come in the evening, they eat and exchange information here at noon, and in the evening they go home separately or go to high-end places for entertainment.
So we ate a clean meal, and the boss sat down and chatted when he was free, and I could see that he liked these boys.
"We sometimes come over at night to wash the dishes for the boss and earn a scone." Xu Silin's mouth was full of oil, and he occasionally freed his mouth to say a sentence.
I didn't use chopsticks much, and watching them eat more deliciously than I did myself.
After sending off the guests at the other table, the boss moved over to chat with us again, and Xu Silin was busy eating, so I took over the conversation and chatted with the boss.
"Boss, do you have a specific supplier for your meat here, or did you go to the market to buy it?"
"Get up early to go to the market, now the price of meat is rising again and again, sometimes it is out of stock, butchers have to keep up with big customers, my small shop is dozens of catties a day, and the restaurants in Area B are in high demand."
"What about Zone A?"
"There is its own exclusive supply channel, which is not traded to the outside world, and I heard that the farms in Area A are also confidential institutions."
"In the past, it was okay to be able to hunt prey outside the city, but now there are people who don't see oil for a few months, and often go to the farm to steal pigs and chickens, and a farm in Area B killed several people last month, and the security guards are tougher than us." Xu Silin interjected.
"Those who are killed can't eat, what kind of toughness is it." Yu Liangxuan said indignantly.
"Then if you hit the prey, will anyone take it?" I asked.
"Yes, there are people in Area B and Area C, and it is okay to sell butchers, and you can earn more money by sending them directly to restaurants, but no matter how much money you have, who dares to go out of the city to hunt now? Don't die, if you go to ten, you can come back one, or come back empty-handed. The boss sighed, shook his head slightly, and said.
"Captain, you're going out of town?" Xun He suddenly asked.
"Yes, I can take a day off, and I can eat half full just by pointing to the little salary paid by the security department." I graciously admit it.
These days, when I wander around the city alone, I don't think money is a problem, but only one day after I took office, I have a hunch that there will be more places to use money in the future, I can't sit and eat empty, in case I have to live here for a year and a half, even if I don't eat or drink, I'm afraid life will not be easy.
"Half full is half full, it's better than going out of the city, don't go, it's too dangerous." Xu Silin's chopsticks stretched out to the meat basin suddenly stopped, and immediately objected.
"You go and ask the new survivors of Zobar, I hunted three bears by myself, and they can testify."
Including the boss, the eyes of several people instantly fixed on my face, and their inner thoughts could be interpreted from their highly unified expressions - real or fake?
"What's the good of lying to you?" I asked with a smile.
"No good." Xu Silin shook his head stupidly and said.
I shrugged my shoulders and spread my hands, "That's it." ”
Now they didn't even eat meat, and they rubbed their heads and asked me about the bear hunt, which I didn't work hard to hunt bears, but my intuition told me that if I didn't say anything to boost morale, they would definitely doubt my ability to protect myself.
So I added fuel and vinegar to the design of some tense plots, and made up the story of the bear hunt into an adventure story.
Several people listened with relish, and all of them stared at me intently.
The boss lamented that it had been a long time since he had heard the news of the victory of humanity.
Since the beasts outside the city gathered in groups, their physique has also changed, and it has become more and more difficult for humans to hunt, and if the camp does not send regular troops, it will be difficult for others to catch prey, and even if they are caught, they will have to pay a huge price, which is not proportional to the benefits, so few people go out of the city now.
One of the four team members has never spoken, I thought he just didn't like to talk, but Xun He said that this person named Wei Xiaobei was scared out of the hunt with people and suffered from aphasia.
Speaking of this, Xu Silin's mood was a little low, at that time they even let the equipment distributed by the security department be 'borrowed' away, there was no meal all day long, Wei Xiaobei proposed to go outside the city to try their luck, Xun He They did not agree, he secretly went in the middle of the night, but he walked for seven days, and when he came back, everyone was scared and stupid, and it took three months to slow down, but after that, he never spoke again.
I seem to have heard of a mental illness called post-traumatic sequelae, but I don't know what the specific symptoms are, I guess they don't have a place to find someone to consult about it, and it's not easy to find an ordinary doctor at the moment, let alone a psychiatrist.
They always remind me of my little brothers on another plane, so I wanted to help them as much as I could.
"Boss, is there a psychiatrist in the city?"
"No, I haven't heard of it, everyone can't even fill their stomachs, who can take care of their psychology."
The boss is right, even if there are psychiatrists who survive, they should all change careers, and if they do their old jobs, they will probably starve to death.
"Then boss, you help us keep an eye on it, as long as there is a doctor, money is not a problem."
"Okay, I'll ask you, but girl, do you really want to go out of the city alone? Why don't I help you connect with a team, you can have a companion with someone else, how dangerous it is to be alone. ”
"Since no one dares to go out of the city, how long will I have to wait to catch this companion, forget it, besides, I don't have nine lives, and I won't fight with my own life."
When a few people saw that I had made up their minds, they didn't persuade me anymore, especially Xu Silin, who was convinced of what I just said, and was the one with the most confidence in my ability.
