Chapter 81 Newcomers from the Island Three Crowns for 747 Children’s Shoes
"His thinking is the same as that of the colonel, and he is very stubborn. Persuasion is useless. Sister Duo, don't even think about trying to soften him." Iitaro saw it clearly.
"Don't worry, I won't waste that time on him. It will expose our position." Soul's attitude of taking it for granted that all living beings are unequal made me completely give up on him.
When I got home, I saw Zhang Xiaomei waiting for me, so I told him in detail about today's arrangement for the meeting between Brother Fourteen and Lei Bao, and the sudden death of the soul that invited us to his house for a drink. Zhang Xiaomei heard that there was another plan
The progress was very exciting, and at the end he asked: "How did the soul suddenly appear in an empty villa on the sparsely populated beach? Have you asked him?"
"I didn't ask this. I was so nervous at the time trying to explain why we were there. I was really afraid that he would come into the house and find a thunderstorm, so I forgot about it. Alas, I know what it means to have a guilty conscience."
Xiaomei reminded, suddenly remembered that it was not the case, and the soul did not take the initiative to say it.
"It is very likely that it followed your car," Zhang Xiaomei analyzed. "Which door did the thunderstorm enter the house through? The front door or the back door?"
"Back door, he came out from beside the stairs as soon as we entered the house. He wouldn't let Soul and Miao Long see it, right?" I started to feel uneasy.
"The front and back doors of the villa are two streets away. If they guard the front door, they won't see the thunderstorm. Sister Duo doesn't have to worry too much. If you really see a thunderstorm, your soul won't be so calm. You must know that thunderstorm is the colonel's most wanted criminal. It's really
How could he let go of the sudden appearance in front of the soul?" Zhang Xiaomei comforted me, "But this soul is really shrewd. He saw you driving out of the residential area and followed you silently, but you didn't notice it. It's amazing!"
"It must be relatively far away. There is a section of the road with direct light. There is no way we can't find him behind him." My back felt cold and I broke out in a cold sweat.
"So it took a long time after you entered the house for them to arrive, right? Anyway, the soul is targeting you. Even if he drank with you and formed an alliance last night, he won't trust you either."
"It's really more sinister than the other!" I exhaled. "When I first started chatting with him at his house, the atmosphere was so tense. The big rocks he threw over knocked me out of breath. Fortunately, there were ten
Fourth brother comes to the rescue."
"These people are all veterans. I used to be a soldier in the army. When I first joined, I had a simple mind. I imagined that the soldiers were just like those in the TV series. The leaders were friendly and affectionate, and the brothers were passionate and righteous. As a result, I was tortured to death. For a while,
My dad spent a lot of money to pave the way for me, Sister Duo must have never heard of these, right?" Zhang Xiaomei laughed.
"No wonder you are so young, you know everything in your head, and you are mature and considerate. It turns out that you have suffered a lot and have been punished to become smarter." I looked at Xiaomei and said with a smile, he was less than thirty years old, but he was very experienced.
It's not inferior to anyone else, and it always surprises me.
"I have experienced so much and still act like a stupid kid. I don't know how I died on the day I died. I can't rely on my parents for the rest of my life. Sometimes people just grow up suddenly. During those years in the army, I completely understood one thing.
"Society is complex no matter where it is, even if people give certain places a halo." Zhang Xiaomei's tone was calm, like an old man who has seen through the world.
"Tomorrow the Supply and Demand Department will leave the island for supplies. Is there anything missing at Sister Duo's house? That's what I'm here for tonight."
"Speaking of this, I found that the base's daily necessities are not well stocked, which is different from our habits. I don't know if the big supermarket in Ocean City has been emptied, or if the military does not pay attention to the quality of life of the people. The warehouse
Most of them are ammunition, and the colonel values arming more than anything else." I remembered that when some islanders applied for daily paper and towels in the past few days, Secretary Qin once said with disgust that they are squeamish and have many things to do, but those are the necessities of daily life.
.
"The nature of this base is completely different from what we had before. Rather than saying that the colonel doesn't value the quality of life of survivors, it's better to say that he doesn't value survivors at all. He is only interested in strong people who can make him even more powerful. Sister Duo, don't you?
Did you find that the supply and demand department in charge of Black Fox does not care about search and rescue? This person is not an enthusiastic person, but we
He took the initiative to find us, isn't it because we are useful? Also, since we came, have you seen souls go back to save the old, weak, sick and disabled? He brought back a few men outside a few days ago,
He was sent to work on the breeding farm. You didn’t pay attention to this, but I was keeping an eye on it.” Zhang Xiaomei sneered, nothing could escape his eyes.
"There is nothing lacking at home for the time being. You and Black Fox must be careful when you go on a mission." I told Xiaomei, in fact, as for us, if we need anything, Secretary Qin will definitely not be dissatisfied with the colonel's instructions.
But none of us expected that this time Black Fox took the supply and demand department out for supplies and brought back a large group of survivors.
In the afternoon of the next day, as soon as I followed Secretary Qin back from the warehouse in the backyard of the Green Building, I saw a dozen unfamiliar faces appearing in the Green Building. These men were tired from work, their faces were tired, and their clothes were tattered and dirty. They were obviously not
original islanders.
Secretary Qin and I couldn't help but look at them a few more times. At this time, the black fox came out of the colonel's office and said to the people there: "The colonel wants to see your head, who is it?"
A tall, dark and thin man stood up. He looked to be in his forties, his face full of vicissitudes of life, "I'll go." His voice was extremely hoarse, with a sense of confusion.
Secretary Qin was not polite and ran directly to the colonel's office. I took the opportunity to sneak in after him, wanting to know the origins of these new survivors.
When the colonel saw us entering the room, he didn't react at all. He looked at the man behind the black fox and said, "Sit down."
The thin, dark man was sitting on the chair in front of the colonel's desk with his buttocks hunched over, like a prisoner on trial. This man must be pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. I thought to myself, there must be someone who can lead so many great men.
His ability was shown to be so cautious.
"Tell me about yourselves. Where are you from? Are there any soldiers in the team? What do they do?" The colonel asked several questions in succession.
"My name is Zhao Hui. I am from Ji City. All the brothers outside are also from Ji City. We went from Ji City to Ocean City just to find a small island to settle down. There are too many zombies outside. It is not safe to live anywhere.
It's great to think that we will encounter an island base with troops stationed there! We don't have soldiers, we are all ordinary people who help each other survive. I used to run a company, a small company, just to make a living."
Zhao Hui's man answered in detail.
"Well, what did they do in the first place?" The colonel stared at Zhao Hui, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Part-timers, office workers, college students, and homeless people, but they are all good people." Zhao Hui is also quite smart. His answer was the same as mine. It was an understatement. Anyway, the implication is that we are good people.
There is no threat to the base.
"Oh, I heard that all of your people are young and middle-aged, and they are all good at fighting, right?" The colonel finally asked this point.
"Everyone has not practiced specifically before. Anyway, when encountering zombies, you will fight hard. Those who are timid and shrinking will not survive this." Zhao Hui answered very skillfully, which not only showed that they are brave, but also reiterated that they are harmless.
, at least harmless to humans.
"The base is in good order and the environment is safe. You have found your home when you get here, but there is one thing. The base does not support people who live for free. Since they are all young and strong, they should just follow the arrangements and do whatever work they should do."
After the colonel finished speaking, Zhao Hui nodded repeatedly: "That's inevitable. You have to get paid for your work at all times, and obey the leadership's arrangements!"
"Okay, you go out first and wait outside." The colonel waved his hand. Zhao Hui quickly raised his butt and walked out of the room. Black Fox followed and closed the door.
"Duoduo," the colonel asked me suddenly, "what work do you think is appropriate for them to do?"
I was stunned. I am not a human resources major. How could I know about assigning work? What was the purpose of the colonel asking me?
"It depends on which position is most in short supply." I answered bravely. Dealing with people like the colonel would have caused my hair to grow gray in advance. I was so tired!
"There is a shortage of people in every position," the colonel smiled faintly, "I want to hear Duoduo's opinion."
"I just saw their people. Although they are all in a mess, they are all young and middle-aged. Didn't Minister Zhu say that the Security Department is short of manpower? Why don't you just send them to Minister Zhu? You have to worry about not understanding
Let them train with Minister Zhu and not issue guns." I said after thinking about it, thinking to myself, when we first came to the island, we were considered newcomers, but Zhang Xiaomei, Arhat and the others were issued with them on the first day they took up the job.
The guns are enough to show the importance the colonel attaches to them.
"Yeah, but I think it's not good to put so many of them in one department, as it's easy to form small groups. It's better to spread them out." Secretary Qin interjected.
The colonel glared at Secretary Qin calmly. Didn't she expose the colonel's intention of spreading us out? This silly bitch, you are so stupid, why don't you treat me as an outsider now?
"It's true that other departments are also short of people. In this way, some will be given to Soul, and some will be given to Black Fox, and Xiao Yue's department will be left alone." The colonel euphemistically covered up Secretary Qin's recklessness.
"It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have an idea to tell you two." The colonel said, "This island has just been attacked by zombies, and some people have died. It is inevitable that it will be gloomy and gloomy. Taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to hold an event.
Let all the islanders participate to drive away the bad mood. How about you two?
"Of course!" Secretary Qin smiled happily, "The island hasn't been lively and lively for a long time. I arranged for the restaurant to make homemade mooncakes so that everyone can have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. All worries will be gone."
"The important thing is that everyone should participate, and everyone should strive to perform. Only by participating can you be truly happy." The colonel also set a hard target.
