Chapter 165: Recruitment
Although he had already experienced a lot of things with Mingxue and the others, he still couldn't fully trust them.
In the final analysis, it's because his current strength is not enough, if his current mental power is enough to resist bullets, even if it's just ordinary bullets, where can he use such trouble.
All caution is due to the lack of their own strength!
On the bed in the tent, Meng Ren was playing with a water balloon in his hand, and the water balloon, which weighed about five catties and changed different shapes under his control.
"At my current growth rate, it is estimated that it will only take about a year for me to have enough self-protection strength, even if I can't resist ordinary bullets at that time, there will be absolutely no problems with the bow and crossbow!" Meng Ren squinted his eyes, and there was a strong look of anticipation in his eyes.
It was soon evening, and as the fiery red sun gradually set, the temperature outside gradually decreased.
As night fell, the temperature gradually dropped to about 40 degrees, and although it was hot, it was at least within the range that normal people could bear.
Meng Ren estimated that the time was about the same, and he walked out of the camp directly.
Several other people watched his movements and immediately understood what Meng Ren was going to do, and they all followed.
Meng Ren went straight to the place where this medium-sized camp was located, and his gaze swept over the group of people in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, the management of the entire camp can be described as quite chaotic, one tent after another is disorganized, completely arbitrarily built, some people don't even have tents, just lie on the ground.
There were men and women in the crowd, most of them were young adults, and as for the elderly?
It's long gone.
The physical fitness of the elderly is not comparable to that of the young and middle-aged, and they simply cannot survive in the current era of extreme heat, and the same is true for children who are too young.
It's just that compared to Meng Ren, the state of this group of people is obviously not very good, but if you look closely, it seems to be better than the situation in Meng Ren's guess.
Although all of them were yellow and thin, and they were dirty, at least they were not malnourished.
It seems that they have some material reserves.
Is it the supplies stored in this underground bomb shelter?
Meng Ren squinted his eyes and guessed in his heart, as far as he knew, there were generally stored materials in the underground air-raid shelters, but the number of these materials would definitely not be large, at least it could not meet the long-term needs of thousands of people.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Meng Ren!"
"I need someone to help me build a shelter, is anyone willing to help me?"
"All I need is strong men, ten."
"Everyone who came to help took care of the meal, three packs of instant noodles and three bottles of mineral water!" Meng Ren said loudly, and the sound spread through the underground bomb shelter.
Well?
When they heard that there was food, many people's eyes instantly turned to it.
Immediately someone stood up with a look of joy on their faces: "Is there really food as a reward?" ”
"That's right, I need ten people to help me build the shelter, it's not a lot of work, just a simple fence and a house out of some wood."
"Of course, it would be better if someone knew carpentry!" Meng Ren voiced his needs.
Since I plan to live in this underground bomb shelter for the next short time, it is not enough to live in a tent all the time, at least a strong fence is necessary.
Especially after what happened last night, it made Meng Ren realize the problem.
"I'm a carpenter, I've done carpentry before, and I can help build the fence or something!" A middle-aged man stood up from the crowd.
Meng Ren's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there was really a carpenter in this group of people, it would be even better.
"Okay, I'll give you five packs of instant noodles and five bottles of mineral water, and you will be in charge of the construction of my fence and house!"
"If you build well, I have another reward!" Meng Ren was very atmospheric.
A small amount of supplies was just a drop in the bucket for him, and the establishment of the shelter was obviously more important.
The carpenter had a smile on his face: "My name is Dungey!" ”
Seeing that someone opened their mouths to sign up, the others couldn't bear it anymore and got up one after another, and in less than a minute, ten men had already gathered.
Because there were too many people who signed up, Meng Ren even picked out ten of the strongest people from this group of people.
"What's going on? What are you doing? ”
At this moment, a scolding voice sounded, and then the crowd automatically separated.
I saw a certain location in the underground air-raid shelter, where there was actually a door, and at this moment the door opened, and Liu Guodong walked out of it.
"Mr. Meng, what are you doing here?" Liu Guodong frowned, his face was not very good-looking.
What did Meng Ren do when he gathered his manpower? Doing something?
"Deputy Leader Liu, don't get me wrong, it's just that when I was sleeping last night, someone in your camp wanted to steal my supplies while I was sleeping!"
"It's not very safe here, so I've hired a few people to help me build a fence and a simple wooden house!"
"Of course, I will pay them, and I won't let them do it in vain, Deputy Chief Liu shouldn't object to such a simple matter, right?" Meng Ren said.
What?
As soon as Meng Ren's words came out, everyone was taken aback.
"Who steals? How can you do such a thing? ”
"I did hear the scolding and the sound of someone running away last night, and I thought I was hallucinating from my sleep, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Who did it? This is a bit shameless! ”
Everyone was talking and looked at the others around them.
Liu Guodong frowned, if something like this really happened last night, then there was obviously nothing wrong with Meng Ren's appeal.
"It's okay to build a wall, but remember to pay and don't owe wages to workers!"
"How many people does Mr. Meng need?" Liu Guodong said.
Meng Ren shrugged: "It's just ten people!" ”
"Ten is too little, isn't it faster to have more people?" Liu Guodong smiled.
Meng Ren rolled his eyes, he didn't build a fortress, he just built a simple wall and a few small cabins, how many people did he need?
"Ten is enough, I'll pay them on time!" Meng Ren said.
"That's great, although it's a critical time now, some rules can't be broken."
"Especially because of the current crisis, we should abide by the bottom line and principles, Mr. Meng can help us provide some employment opportunities, that is naturally the best, on behalf of our Baishi camp, thank you Mr. Meng!" Liu Guodong smiled.
Camp Whitestone?
Is that the name of this camp?
Meng Renpi nodded with a smile, but speaking of which, he had not seen the leader of this camp yet, and the top manager he had seen so far was only Liu Guodong, the deputy leader.
