Chapter 183: Mobilization Before the War (1)
It was noon again, and the scorching temperature filled the factory director's room with steaming mist.
The survivors frowned, and they were carefully discussing tomorrow's harvesting operation.
"So...that means this operation didn't collect much supplies?"
Lin Junfu's question made everyone present smile bitterly. Although they also knew that this ending was completely forced by the situation, the failure of the mission was an indisputable fact.
Hu Xiaodong nodded regretfully: "Yes, Forest Management, we didn't bring back much in terms of supplies."
Lin Junfu, who had expected it, did not show too much surprise. On the contrary, he comforted him extremely calmly: "It's okay! Materials and other things are all external things. The most important thing is that brothers can come back alive! As long as people are alive! We will take care of other things."
You can still think of a way to do it again!”
"Yes! Lin Guan is right, everyone has tried their best! Don't blame yourself for this matter anymore!" Wei Yang added at the right time, and Wei Yang also saw the look of frustration on everyone's cheeks.
Casting an approving look at Weiyang, Lin Junfu changed the subject and returned to the topic: "Have you ever counted how many sickles you brought back?"
"This~" He glanced at Hu Xiaodong subconsciously. After all, Tang Xiaoquan didn't know the other party's situation clearly.
"One handful, if you count Da Zhuang's hand, there should be three." Hu Xiaodong answered very simply.
In response, Tang Xiaoquan nodded to express his gratitude, then added his own number and said seriously: "The number of sickles is currently 5!"
"Five..." After repeating it to himself, Lin Junfu couldn't help but frowned: "This is a bit difficult to handle!"
As for what Lin Junfu meant by "difficult to handle", everyone understood it without his explanation.
After all, the sickle is a harvesting tool. The absence of this thing will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the efficiency of harvesting, especially in this apocalyptic world, every minute and every second in the wild may mean life or death.
so……
This is indeed a problem! After playing with his bangs twice out of habit, Tang Xiaoquan thought about it and said: "It really doesn't work, we can only use other things. Lin Guan's factory makes clothes, so there should be a lot of scissors.
, I think we should give each of the remaining people a pair, what do you think?"
"Haha," Lin Junfu smiled noncommittally, wiped the sweat from his face, and then felt a little confused: "Xiao Tang, this... How should I put it, there is no problem using scissors, but most of the main staff in the factory
It’s a small gauze scissor. It’s fine for cutting threads and scraping lint. But cutting rice straw is a bit..."
He shook his head helplessly, but then Lin Junfu thought of something again and quickly added: "Oh, by the way, there is a pair of big scissors for cutting fabrics in the cutting room. You can use that."
Obviously, Tang Xiaoquan didn't know what the so-called "small gauze cutter" was, but from the look between Lin Junfu's brows, it could be judged that his proposal would definitely not work.
I looked down and thought for a moment again, no matter what, I must have this snatching tool, otherwise it would be too slow just to pinch it with my bare hands.
"How about we find some iron pieces and polish them. Although it may not be so easy to use, it is better than nothing after all."
When the matter came to this, Lin Junfu also knew that there was no other way, so he nodded immediately and said without much consideration: "Okay, we will deal with this later!"
"Well, in addition, forest management, for the sake of safety, I personally suggest that it is best to educate the women participating in the harvest on the basic characteristics of zombies, especially how to defend against and kill them. After all..."
Shrugging his shoulders, Tang Xiaoquan didn't want to say something unlucky before the battle, so he only expressed his meaning with body language.
"This is natural! I have already considered it. I will hold a mobilization meeting tonight. At that meeting, I will clearly explain to the employees what you have experienced today and the crisis the factory is currently experiencing, so that they can have a clear understanding.
!" Lin Junfu's expression was serious, and it could be seen that he planned to tell everyone the truth tonight without reservation.
However, Tang Xiaoquan had other views on this: "Wait a minute, Guan Lin! Maybe now is not the time to tell the truth frankly!"
"Oh?" His eyebrows raised subconsciously. Lin Junfu touched the side of the cup in his palm with some confusion, and then asked lightly: "Why?"
"It's very simple, we can't undermine the confidence of employees! Yes, we are indeed in short supply of all kinds of materials now, and I believe that even if you don't say it, the employees know it! So the most important thing right now is to rebuild their confidence.
Especially at the beginning of the operation tomorrow, we will try our best to adjust the mentality of every person participating in the collection!"
As if he thought what the young man said was quite reasonable, Lin Junfu nodded to himself and at the same time asked, "Then do you have any specific plans?"
"Yes! This is how I think about it. Instead of holding a mobilization meeting tonight, let's hold a celebration party!"
"Celebration party?" The brows couldn't help but frown together. This time, not only Lin Junfu, but also the other survivors on the side couldn't help but feel inexplicable thoughts in their hearts.
Undoubtedly, it was difficult for them to understand how young people could think of holding a celebration at such a time when supplies were in short supply and life and death were at stake.
It's just that Tang Xiaoquan had his own ideas, and he didn't have the slightest idea of changing due to the questioning looks from everyone. He coughed twice, and then said calmly: "Yes, I suggest holding a celebration! As for why, everyone
You might as well think about it, if a person lives in such a helpless environment for a long time, his brain, his thoughts, and his mental state will be depressed! Such a person, let alone
Grab the harvest, if you ask them to do the simplest and most basic things now, they may not be able to do it well! To put it harshly, the vast majority of employees here have no hope of survival. They and the walking zombies outside are actually
There’s not much difference!”
Quite unreasonable words, Tang Xiaoquan's remarks can be said to be very impolite.
But after he stopped talking, no one refuted him!
Yes! There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart. For people, the heart is dead! Then everything will be over!
This is a problem that Lin Junfu has always been afraid of and has never wanted to face. Today, when young people mentioned it in public, he was shocked like an arrow piercing his heart!
"Okay," Lin Junfu let out a long breath, calmed down for a moment, and then said lightly with a slight dejection: "Tell me, Xiao Tang, what are you going to do?"
"Well, in this case, the employees still don't know what we have gained from this trip, so we might as well use this to make some articles..."
