Originally, he was a little worried, worried that the promise he got was not secure enough. What if there were some loopholes, but he was tricked by the officials?
But he soon discovered that he had a pure villain's heart. It wasn't that the official people had any change in their views on him, or were merciful to him, but they simply didn't bother to break their promises to him.
In other words, whether or not to kill him is of no concern to the big officials in the government. To put it more seriously, they don’t take him seriously at all.
It doesn't matter if you don't take him seriously, but his information is indeed important.
In this way, it was originally agreed that the information would be revealed and the authorities would let him off the hook. But as he said this, Yang Shuangxi found that he had somehow become involved.
Han Jingjing said it herself, considering the matter was very important, and subsequent actions were inseparable from Yang Shuangxi. Therefore, they decided to temporarily recruit Yang Shuangxi.
Yang Shuangxi refused in his heart. He only wanted to trade information, but had no intention of selling himself to survive.
But the official recruitment order is no joke. Once the recruitment order is issued, even if Yang Shuangxi has a hundred mouths, he will not be able to shirk it.
Seeing his bitter face, He Jin sneered: "You kid, just have fun secretly."
Yang Shuangxi smiled bitterly and said: "I just want to live a good life. The fighting and killing in the world are really not suitable for me. I am tired, tired of it..."
He Jin said with a straight face: "What? You're not tired of working for the agents of the Weird Tree, nor are you tired of working for Captain Hu in dealing with foreign races. Why, you're tired of working as a temporary worker for the official?"
It sounds a bit domineering, even a bit forceful.
But with this big hat on, Yang Shuangxi really couldn't stand it.
"No, boss, I was wrong. I'm a mean-mouthed person. I just have this bad habit of being pretentious. I pretend to be unhappy, but in my heart I'm actually very proud and glorious."
Yang Shuangxi couldn't help but beat his chest, trying desperately to prove himself: "Really, boss, listen to my explanation... If you can work hard for the official, that's the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves of my old Yang family. My ancestors of the old Yang family have pushed it up ten
In recent times, no one has ever eaten imperial food or served on imperial errands!"
Han Jingjing knew that He Jin was deliberately intimidating Yang Shuangxi, so she said calmly: "Yang Shuangxi, you don't need to be surprised. This job is done, and it will be your benefit. Although the official recruitment is an obligation, it did not say
You did it for nothing."
Yang Shuangxi hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, I am happy to work for the government even if it is for nothing. I, Yang Shuangxi, do not want benefits, but respect."
"Okay, the first priority is to find the stronghold you mentioned. According to you, Captain Golden Fox has robbed at least hundreds or thousands of innocent survivors. If these people are not found, they will be detained for a long time without anyone taking care of them.
It’s not a big deal if you’re wearing it.”
"Yes, something will definitely happen. Lao Hu is too stingy. It is commonplace to abuse these prisoners, and he only cares about one or two meals a day. Really, even the pigs and dogs in the Sunshine Era are not so miserable. Really
If I don't find it for three days, I'm sure I'll starve to death."
These days, normal survivors may not be able to eat enough every day, let alone prisoners. The only criterion for prisoners is not to starve to death.
And even if there is this standard, it may not be fully adhered to. It is common for people to starve to death. In the strange era, no one specializes in production, and the food and materials consumed are basically based on the original ones.
Although the land in the strange era is actually more conducive to crop growth and the yield is actually higher. However, most of the survivor bases are still in the running-in and construction stage, and not many have settled down to engage in large-scale production.
The pit head base counts as one.
That's because the conditions at the Kengtou base are superior and we can be self-sufficient behind closed doors.
Other bases are not engaged in production at all, but no one is willing to devote too much manpower and energy. Why?
Is it because they don’t know that food is very fragrant?
Obviously not.
The core problem is that you can't hold it! It's easy to plant, but most bases don't have the ability to plant behind closed doors. Even if they plant, it's just a small operation. Large-scale operations must be done in large open areas in the wild.
In the fields.
This kind of place is often the most difficult to guard. It is impossible to build a wall to enclose it, and there is not enough manpower to surround the field.
To put it bluntly, planting is also white. If a base is not strong enough but grows food in a large area, it is like a child walking on the street holding gold, and it is the kind of black market street where people are stolen, cheated and robbed.
It's not probability, it's something that is bound to happen.
If only food was robbed, it would be fine, but the food would be gone, the base would be destroyed, and the people would be killed.
Therefore, even if we plant, it is only a small matter. We do not seek to have abundant supplies, we just want to be able to eat enough and not starve to death.
When supplies are scarce, captive slaves are naturally the most easily ignored targets.
In the supply chain, these people are also at the lowest rank.
As an official, there is no such thing as a prisoner. All survivors, as long as they are not pure demons with anti-human character like Tiangang and Xie Chun, are the ones to be united with.
In this world, population is the most precious resource.
On another level, even if population resources cannot be used by the surface world, we must make every effort to prevent them from falling into the hands of the inner earth tribe and becoming raw materials for special medicines and resources for the enemy.
The Kengtou base was quickly assessed, and the officials did not make any big fanfare to publicize it. Instead, they arranged for a group of people to be stationed here.
Since the leader of the Jinniu Group has surrendered to the government and submitted his certificate of nomination, his performance this time has been extremely outstanding, proving that he is a person who can be firmly united and a reliable partner.
Therefore, the pit head base was handed over to Captain Jinniu, and Han Jingjing and others were relieved.
Lao Niu is now at the Kengtou base. Not only does he have the highest position in the past, but he also has the aura of a savior of the base. One of the reasons why the official pardoned the sins of the Kengtou base is because Captain Jinniu brought order to the chaos.
The Kengtou Base pleads for mercy and guarantees for everyone that the Kengtou Base will not cause trouble again and will sincerely submit to the authorities.
To put it bluntly, everyone should have been severely punished and suppressed by the official force. It is entirely because of the intercession of the Taurus leader that you people can survive.
Even Tiangang and the two guardians were killed, and everyone witnessed the previous bombing and the collapse of the base. Naturally, they knew that it was indeed Captain Jinniu who saved everyone.
In this way, everyone is naturally convinced of Captain Taurus. They also know firsthand that Captain Taurus will consider issues from everyone's point of view and care about everyone's life and death.
People like Tiangang and Ksitigarbha will only treat them as cannon fodder, hoping that everyone will die for their ambitions.
Once the people are convinced, the management of the base will become easier. Not everyone, but the vast majority of people are still obedient and even actively cooperate.
Perhaps there are a few people who are unconvinced with Captain Jinniu, are jealous, and even feel that Captain Jinniu has betrayed Tiangang, or even sympathize with Tiangang.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
People's hearts are similar, but their ideas are all kinds of strange. There must be such rebels lurking in the team, but it doesn't matter.
The general situation has been controlled by the authorities. Even if some clowns have other ideas in their minds, they are unlikely to emerge again. If they were really brave, they should have jumped out and been buried long ago after Tiangang was destroyed. They lurked and did not dare to be exposed.
Most of them are just timid and afraid of death.
And they usually hide it better and are not exposed.
All in all, the situation at the Kengtou base stabilized quickly.
Only then could Han Jingjing and the others quickly separate themselves to take the next step.
The Eight Gates of Formation are already a thing of the past, and without the Eight Gates of Formation, the Strange Tree is like a grasshopper after autumn and will not be able to jump around for long.
The main conflict at the moment has obviously shifted. The strange tree is no longer the focus, but the focus is the Titan Academy, which is the plunder plan of the Geocentric Clan.
And right now, it's just an opportunity.
Yang Shuangxi is the key figure who triggered this opportunity. According to Yang Shuangxi's information, the transaction will take place the day after tomorrow, and it is a transaction involving thousands of people.
Thousands of prisoners are not a problem. The official side now controls so many bases, and tens of thousands of people can be mobilized at will.
But this does not mean that the prisoners of Captain Golden Fox will be given up.
Human life in this strange world may not be that valuable, but no human life can be given up casually.
In the Golden Fox Group, many of Yang Shuangxi's old members were not expelled and exterminated because they did not commit serious crimes and were minor players.
These old men had also escorted prisoners with Yang Shuangxi in the past and participated in the handover activities of the transaction. Although they were all tool men, they had no idea about the content of the transaction and the objects of the transaction.
But these old members are all familiar faces. If they join, it will not be easy to arouse suspicion when they pretend to trade with the Earth Center Tribe.
The most urgent task is to find those prisoners.
A stronghold is actually not difficult to find. A stronghold that can accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people must not be too remote and must have a large enough shelter.
Even a cave in the wilderness cannot accommodate so many people. Naturally, efforts must be made in villages and various buildings.
Half a day later, everyone found these prisoners in an abandoned second-hand car market. As Yang Shuangxi said, these people had been hungry for nearly two days. Some people had actually starved to death, and there were as many as a dozen.
Fortunately, Han Jingjing had a plan. They had prepared food before searching. After finding the captives, they set up a stove and cooked porridge.
Counting the number of people, there were nearly 1,200 people.
However, out of consideration for the next step, the officials did not tell them the truth, nor did they announce their identities.
Therefore, even after the hot porridge was cooked and the food briefly cured the plight of these captives, they still looked gloomy. Without him, they all knew that they were captives, just like commodities in the Sunshine Age. The next step
There is definitely nothing good going on. Their future is still uncertain, and life and death are unpredictable.
However, the hot rice porridge made them temporarily forget their troubles. Each person had two bowls of rice porridge and a piece of tofu stew, and that was all they had for the meal.
No snacks, no meals.
People who have been hungry for too long cannot eat too much at once. If they eat too much, they will easily starve to death.
Yang Shuangxi is a smart person. He has a clear understanding of the official requirements for him and what role he needs to play.
After the prisoners finished eating the rice porridge, he jumped to a high place and shouted: "Everyone, today we are showing great kindness and giving you a good meal. Don't be dissatisfied. I can guarantee that you will not be able to eat for some time."
Isn’t it such a white rice porridge? Have you not forgotten the days when you ate chaffy grass?”
The scene of more than a thousand prisoners was unusually quiet. No one came out to stand out. It was not always like this. There were some standouts in the past, but the standout birds basically lost their heads and were beheaded.
As time goes by, naturally no one dares to step forward.
If you don’t dare to come out to challenge, you can always remain silent, right? Can you always face it with numbness? Therefore, the silence at the scene is actually a kind of silent resistance and the final stubbornness.
Yang Shuangxi was obviously very familiar with this scene, and he didn't care. He waved his hand and said: "Everyone knows that the person who sold you is not me, Lao Yang. We are also acting under orders. You have grievances in your heart, and I understand. However,
Don't expect me to be so kind as to let you off the hook. All I can do is give you a few meals before the transaction, so that you don't go hungry."
"tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow is the day of trading. I promise, there will be a dry meal tonight, with half a catty of meat for each of you. Tomorrow morning, there will be a thin meal with two steamed buns."
"With this standard, even the survivors of the base should be envious. Let's be honest, I, Lao Yang, am not a bad person, and I don't want to see you suffer. But for these meals, we are not purely out of charity, but
We don’t want any of you to starve to death anymore, so we have to make you look decent before the transaction.”
In this situation, there should have been strong boos.
But these prisoners were obviously afraid of being beaten or killed. Apart from their pale complexions and numb reactions, there was no boo or dissatisfaction at all.
It seems that their fate has been decided. All they can do is to accept the situation and go with the flow. Who is selling to but not selling to?
If there are really people who are willing to take you in and give you work and food, then sell it. The sooner you sell, the sooner you get ahead.
It’s no wonder that these people have such an unscrupulous idea. They are being imprisoned like this, and they are worse than dogs. It’s better to get results as soon as possible.
Many people swallowed their saliva in dismay at the thought of having something to do in the evening and even half a pound of meat. They were also afraid of being discovered by people nearby, so they tried their best to hide it.
In this situation, how can you be greedy for meat? Do you still need some backbone?
During this trip, Han Jingjing and the others used mules and horses to transport three thousand kilograms of staple food, one thousand kilograms of meat, and some vegetables, fruits, etc., which was enough to meet the needs of these three meals.
That night, in a deserted village about five kilometers from the transaction location, this dinner of rice and meat was fulfilled to the letter.
Each person actually had more than half a catty of meat, six or seven taels of meat. This was undoubtedly the most filling meal since the end of the world.
