Paradise Lost Outpost.

Zhao Du poked his head out, looked at the refugees who were sitting on the ground densely outside, looking frightened, he sighed, looked at the comrades around him, and whispered, "They won't make a fuss, right?" ”

"What are you afraid of, if you make a fuss, pick the most noisy one to come out and kill it, and it will be quiet, we don't have burning sticks in our hands, and there are still people in the construction department who are beating ashes inside, and the people outside are not so bold, shhh, that person is here again."

Zhao Du looked ahead, and saw three people walking outside the fence, typical scavenger dress, the leader had some kind of xenomorph bone stuck on his chest, just pinned to the heart, it looked quite wasteland.

"Stop, please don't go any further." Zhao Du stretched out his head and shouted loudly below.

The three of them were also interested, standing outside a white line, and the leader raised his head, because of the sun's rays, he couldn't help frowning, "Excuse me, when will the caretaker of your shelter come?" ”

Long Luan has a very bad temper now, he is the security captain of Shangshan Villa, when the tide of xenos came, he just noticed that something was wrong in advance, and he was about to resist with people, but the endless stream of xenos broke through the defense line.

The stronghold was engulfed in an instant!

Long Luan ran out of the trail with some survivors, and met refugees from two other strongholds on the way, so they came to Paradise Lost together.

He'd heard of Paradise Lost, but he hadn't been there, thinking that he was a human being, and that he should allow refugees to enter and provide basic shelter, but...

Forcibly stopped.

No one is allowed to come in.

This made Long Luan very unhappy, but the other party had a weapon in his hand, so he could only endure it.

As soon as Zhao Du asked for an official answer, he heard footsteps behind him, turned his head to look, and saw Ke Ne and others walking over with the Führer.

Zhao Du and the others hurriedly got up and shouted.

Even though Gao Jun had already counted it in his heart, he still felt trembling when he saw the dense crowd outside.

"Who's down there?" He looked at Long Luan and the others standing below, and asked.

Kone explained beside him.

Gao Jun's expression flashed, "Please let them in." With that, he walked towards the former mayor's office, now renamed: Paradise Lost People's Office!

Long Luan and the others were originally scolding their mothers and preparing to leave, but they were called back and said that Yuan wanted to see them.

Now it's the turn of the three of them to be stunned and look at each other, it can't be the words that scolded their mothers just now, and they were heard, right?

This downwind ear?

"Three, follow me." After Kone finished with a blank face, he led the way in front.

"Long Luan, what should I do?" An elderly man standing next to him asked worriedly.

"What can I do? We were originally looking for someone, and we still retreated? Go, keep up. Long Luan lowered his voice, as if he was emboldening himself.

Following Kenne into Paradise Lost, Long Luan's afterglow always glanced at both sides, and the shirtless men looked at them unscrupulously.

There are even people who point fingers.

It's very unpleasant.

"The last time I came, I remember that this is a shack area, why did it all be demolished?" The old man who took a small step slowly followed behind Long Luan and asked in a rough voice, although he tried to keep his voice as low as possible, Ke Ne in front of him obviously heard it.

Turning his head to look at him.

"The Führer thought that the shacks were unsafe and could easily cause casualties, so they were demolished and replaced with wooden or brick houses, and the area set aside here was used to build staff dormitories, which could accommodate more than 200 people."

Are shacks dangerous?

Of course it's dangerous, it's admitted, but it's unheard of for you to say that you want to tear it down and build other types of houses.

Isn't that a waste of time?

Isn't it good to have this time to go out and pick up trash?

If you pick up a treasure, the shack can be burned down.

Long Luan and the others were unimpressed, but they were concerned about the factory.

Long Luan glanced at the old man next to him, and the latter smiled and said to Ke Ne flatteringly, "This lord, what do you mean by factory?" ”

"The Vault has set up two factories here, one of which is a garment factory, where all the furs will be sent to make clothes and then supplied in-house through channels."

"That's... Is there a salary for that? The old man's eyes lit up.

"Of course! Isn't there an income for paying, didn't you get paid for your part-time work before? Kone asked rhetorically.

The old man was immediately embarrassed.

In the past, they did work for the managers in the stronghold, but they didn't have any income at all, and according to the steward, the stewards meant that if the managers blessed them, they had to pay the price.

So, in many cases, they have to bring their own jerky to work.

Exploitation by "capitalists" in the name of "favors".

"Your Excellency..."

Kone raised his hand, "A few have arrived." ”

Long Luan looked at the closed door, he was a little nervous, looked left and right, stretched out his hand, knocked on the door, and a gentle voice came from inside.

Push the door in.

I saw a man sitting behind a huge table.

"You may be seated." Looking at the restrained leader of the homeless people, Gao Jun smiled and pointed to the chair next to him.

Long Luan looked at his peers next to him who didn't dare to gasp, and straightened his waist.

"We didn't mean to offend, but the stronghold was attacked by xenomorphs, and all of them were destroyed..."

Speaking of the back, the voices all became muffled and declined.

"So, what are your demands? As a human being, I can express my kindness appropriately. ”

"We need fresh water and supplies, and without water, our children will die of thirst."

The old man next to Long Luan lowered his eyebrows and pleaded, "Pray for your great charity, we won't bother you, and when the supplies are ready, we will go to Yuma Prefecture." ”

Most of the survivors who have lost their shelter will die in the wilderness, because there are children, women, and only the able-bodied youth can be transformed into scavengers or marauders.

Displaced people who have lost their shelters are desperate to join other shelters.

One more night in the wilderness is one more minute of danger.

The expression on Gao Jun's face was indifferent, but he began to weigh the gains and losses in his heart.

Of course he wants to eat this wave of labor!

Just now on the wall, he glanced at it casually, there were fewer strong men, but there were more women and children, and there was no need to fear that they would turn against him.

A common scene in the wasteland is that the homeless people are taken in, and then they cut down trees to build camps, gather crowds to do things, and even bring in many of their bad habits, and finally there are more and more homeless people, often when the doves occupy the magpie's nest, bloody conflicts.

But without those "disadvantages", in other words, these people are all laborers, and as long as women are emancipated, they can also create benefits for the shelter.

Most women have a lot of experience sewing clothes, which is probably something in their bones, and in general, men are not as good as them.

Gao Jun raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him.

"From here to Yumazhou, are you sure you can all be safe and sound?"

The three of them were silent when they asked this, who would dare to guarantee this? They had even figured out that at least half of the people would die here, and those "useless" old people could even be thrown out to feed the xenos if necessary.

In order to feed the xenos and never pursue them again.

This is cruelty in the wilderness!

Old man...

Sometimes it means being discarded anytime and anywhere, courtesy, righteousness and shame or something, is it important to have a life?

Only when you are full can you know virtue.

But for Gao Jun, these old people are rare talents, because they have been survivors of the "wilderness market" before, and they have a lot of experience, and if they go to school to teach children and tell them some knowledge in the wilderness, these are more than enough.

"Yumazhou is not safe now, it is still besieged by the xenotide tide, perhaps, that place is even more dangerous."

When Long Luan and the others heard this, they were at a loss.

"Sir, this... It's true? ”

"Of course, there are two little ones in my vault who just came over there, and they saw the xenomorph tide and the killing xenomorphs, and you should have heard the alarm before."

"What then?" The old man standing next to Long Luan looked anxious.

Long Luan looked at Gao Jun, who was sitting quietly.

"Sir, please show us the way."

"You now have two paths, either to leave here, or to accept our placement, obey our order, and integrate into our sanctuary."

Long Luan and the three looked at each other.

"We need to discuss this."

Gao Jun nodded, "Ten minutes, I'll give you ten minutes, I don't have that much time here." ”

In fact, it didn't take ten minutes at all.

Long Luan led the people back to the homeless people.

"What do you think? Is that gentleman right? ”

"What can I do? Now that the heat is so high, the xenos are even more manic, and we may not be able to reach Yumazhou and be all eaten. ”

Several "respectable" people discussed and roared, and the three of Long Luan finally stood in front of Gao Jun again, kneeling on their knees and bowing their heads.

"We are willing to accept your placement."

Gao Jun was very satisfied with the other party's acquaintance, and personally helped the three of them up, regardless of the stench on their bodies, and said with a smile, "We don't need to bow down here, we are survivors who survive together, we are equal to each other, you can call me the head of state." ”

There are about 200 people in this group, only 20 are young and middle-aged, and the rest are women, the elderly and children.

In terms of property, when the xenotide hit, they didn't have time to sort it out, so they only combined 10 flintlock pistols, as well as some knives and crossbows.

These weapons were required to be surrendered, allowing them to keep their personal belongings.

Long Luan and the others didn't resist, they joined the shelter anyway, so they had to be obedient.

Gao Jun placed the group a hundred meters from the north gate of the Paradise Lost camp, near the cliff wall, and called Yu Gu, who was in charge here, to help build a shelter and coordinate the logistics department to cook for the displaced people.

You can't walk another kilometer to the old camp to eat.

In addition to these, Gao Jun also arranged for policy propagandists to explain the rules of [tinder] to them and help them integrate in.

I am not afraid of what ups and downs these old, weak, sick and disabled people can make.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Long Luan, this is Uncle Huo, that's the Tibetan Temple." The man pointed to the old man next to him, and then to his companion on the other side.

Gao Jun nodded slightly, looking at the cramped three, "You should also know a lot about our policy, prohibiting fighting, stealing, killing and influencing others, and because you are a civilian class, you enjoy basic treatment, but if you want to eat better, you can only go to work, you can rest assured, after the factory recruits good people, I will let them give priority to recruiting you." ”

Long Luan and the others thanked excitedly.

"By the way, I heard that you used to be a stronghold guard?"

"Yes, Führer."

"Then you will continue to serve in the army in the future, do a good job."

20 people in the army is definitely far from enough, Gao Jun intends to expand the number of professional soldiers to 50 people, and allow the civilian class to join the army, but now the main weapons are seriously insufficient, otherwise the team would have been pulled up a long time ago.

Professional soldiers + reservists should be able to protect the camp.

"Are any of you literate?"

"Führer, I know some, but not much." Uncle Huo whispered beside him, with nervousness on his wrinkled old face.

"Very good, when the time comes, you go to the logistics department to help, and you will go to the construction department of the Tibetan Temple, I hope you can contribute to the shelter."

Arrange work for a few leaders, this is "work", even if it does not guarantee their prosperity and wealth, it is necessary to ensure their food and drink.

Otherwise, it is easy to make trouble.

…

The placement task was carried out in an orderly manner.

The homeless people who originally entered the unfamiliar area also relaxed a lot after seeing the treatment of [Tinder].

As long as you are honest, you are a good person.

Gao Jun did not strictly require them to integrate into the natural process, but emphasized that they were not allowed to defecate in the open.

In this weather, don't you pee indiscriminately, don't you stink to death?

The homeless people asked very little, only needed a place to live, and they were satisfied, and when they heard that they were going to be given jobs and houses, they felt like they had arrived in heaven.

Some people even spontaneously joined the army of "and mud", and at first they were still a little afraid of each other, but slowly, everyone talked about going together.

It only took three or four days, and the integration was very fast.

Paradise Lost site.

He Jie took the axe, quickly split the wood, rubbed his waist, raised his head, and the sun was still dazzling.

"Brother He, drink saliva." A skinny man next to him handed over the water and said.

"Thank you." He Jie thanked him, and after drinking, he looked at each other, "Luoba, how do you work today?" ”

"Very good, the team leader also rewarded me with 2 points."

"Then save it well, don't spend it indiscriminately, and use it for promotion to residents when the time comes." He Jie said with a smile.

Luo Ba hesitated and asked, "Brother He, does this resident really not have to work?" ”

"Who did you listen to?"

"That's what they're all saying." Luo Ba said.

He Jieyi said seriously, "What do you think?" ”

"I... I do not know. ”

"No one in [Tinder] can not work, even the elderly have to work, unless you are disabled, shelter all the basic subsidies, others will be looked down upon if they do not work, the residents enjoy better treatment, and they also have to take on the most important tasks, some jobs, very secret, only residents are allowed to join, and you know Amei, who brings you food every day?"

Luo Ba thought of a woman in his mind, very capable, and good-looking and nodded.

"His husband died in battle while fighting against the dragon's tooth warthog for the refuge, she and her son were raptured to be residents, but she thought that she could not eat for nothing, she did more work every day than anyone else, and the children's grades in school were also very good, so there are no people who eat for nothing here, and what they paid for the refuge, neither the Führer nor we will forget them."

He Jie's expression was solemn, "Those who talk nonsense, you have to pay attention, I will report to the deputy commander of the Kone Legion, this is ruining our image and disintegrating our internal unity." ”

"So serious?" Luo Ba was dumbfounded.

"Of course! The Führer said that we have to twist into a rope in order to survive in this wilderness, and if anyone has other thoughts, voices and thoughts, it will drain the power and it will be detrimental to our development, this is a drag on our legs, and if you find anyone who says this in the future, you will reprimand him. ”

He Jie put his hand on Luo Ba's shoulder, "I believe in you, you can distinguish between right and wrong, you should also feel that here, at least you have food and dignity." ”

Luo Ba thought carefully, "I see. ”

"You are still young, don't be affected by some bad words, there is fried meat foam at night, I invite you to eat."

Sometimes, when people are hungry, the only trouble is to eat, but after eating, he has a lot of troubles, so many problems are full and have nothing to do.

He Jie was just about to take Luo Ba to the cafeteria when he saw their team coming over.

"Ahe, inform the others, tonight, everyone will go to the old camp, and there will be a bonfire party over there in the evening!"
