Liu Yan had to straighten his collar and followed Hu Jue upstairs. Hu Jue said in a low voice, "You are in trouble. I don't know the specific reason, but you have to be careful and don't say the wrong thing."
Liu Yan nodded to indicate his understanding, Hu Jue pushed open the door of Lin Musen's office, and the others exited the room.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, what are you doing?" Lin Musen sat on a swivel chair, with his back to Liu Yan, facing the heavy snow outside the window, playing with a gun in his hand.
Liu Yan said: "We're chatting, isn't today just a day off?"
Sitting sideways on the desk behind Lin Musen, he caught a glimpse of two things placed on the corner of the desk - Cassia Ming's diary and his own diary.
Liu Yan's diary had some criticisms against Lin Musen, but that was far from the level of being questioned, and it was hard to say in Jueming's diary.
Liu Yan thought about it, and Lin Musen said again: "Oh? Who are you talking to and what are you talking about? I see that you have a very hot fight with those new friends."
Liu Yan said: "Look at the snow, the moon, the stars with the priest, the philosopher, talk about poetry, songs, life ideals... We have invited you, if you want, you can join us at any time."
Lin Musen swiveled his swivel chair, facing Liu Yan, and said with a smile: "Brother Sen has no culture, you can't understand the conversation of the high-achieving students, today someone picked up two diaries in the corridor, I dare not casually Flip, respect the privacy of your new human beings, you can ask whose it is."
"Okay." Liu Yan said, "Leave it on me."
He put away his notebook, and Brother Sen said again: "I have thought about it for the past few days, consulted Mr. Hu for his opinion, and made two decisions."
"If I remember correctly." Liu Yan said, "I still recommend Hu Jue to you."
Lin Musen nodded happily: "The person you recommended is very good."
Liu Yan said: "By the way, where is Meng Feng?"
Lin Musen said: "This is the issue involved in my first decision. We will run out of food soon."
Liu Yan said nonsense in his heart. He just brought back rice noodles, cattle, pigs, and grains by the ton. A full truck is counted as the grain for one hundred people, and a daily ration of one hundred catties. One ton of grain is enough for everyone to eat for twenty days. It can be eaten for a month with some potatoes. The reserves that Lin Musen scavenged along the way are probably close to hundreds of tons, how could he consume them all in just over a month? I'm afraid I can't eat 20%.
Lin Musen's state of mind is very clear to Liu Yan—he lacks a sense of security.
Lin Musen tried his best to reduce the rations, fidgeting, fearing that one day he would not receive any income, and the food would be eaten up sooner or later. Even if he had hoarded food for nearly ten years, it did not dispel his idea in the slightest.
A steady stream of income also cannot eliminate his sense of crisis. To solve this idea, there is only one root cause, to prove to him that they have the ability to produce their own food, and this food is enough to meet the needs of most people.
Liu Yan said: "I discussed this issue with Hu Jue in detail before."
Lin Musen raised his eyebrows slightly, as if surprised, and asked, "Did you tell him Hu Jue's idea? Do you often communicate in private?"
Liu Yan secretly thought that he had made a terrible slip of the tongue, and turned around, showing displeasure: "Didn't he tell you? It's not a good habit to like to take credit for other people's ideas."
Lin Musen laughed like a fox, shook his head and said: "Liu Yan, you are too young, as long as it is a good suggestion and idea for our group, who put it forward, why bother?"
Liu Yan said lightly: "Well, Brother Sen is right."
Lin Musen leaned over to put out the butt of the cigarette, leaned heavily on the chair, crossed his hands and fingers in front of his abdomen, and said lightly: "You can't just sit and eat, Hu Jue believes that we should actively expand new channels."
Liu Yan nodded, seemingly absent-minded.
Lin Musen said: "There are a lot of resources that can be used around, unlike when we were in Yuzhen. The mountains in the east can be hunted, and the river can be fished. I asked Zhang Min and Meng Feng to lead a team each to the east and west. Look at the terrain in this direction. Find lakes and fields by the way."
Liu Yan said: "Actually, this suggestion is the one I put forward the most. Let's bring back a sack with grain seeds in it. When the spring begins, we can cultivate and farm in the town over there, and everyone will migrate there together. I have seen it. There is absolutely no problem in planting the land there. I remember that among the recruits last time, there was also a senior student of Huazhong Agricultural University... "
"Very good." Lin Musen said: "The plan is a bit different from my idea, but it is basically the same."
"What's the difference?" Liu Yan asked.
Lin Musen: "The base is still here, and a group of people will go to reclaim it. There is no need to go there."
Liu Yan understood it as soon as he heard it. He said, "But the terrain and buildings over there are not conducive to defending against zombies. I need to use most of the defense measures here."
Lin Musen: "So this is my second decision. How can the defensive measures be dismantled? It was built with great difficulty. You have to start from scratch and solve this problem by yourself. Maybe you need to find a few of your partners and plan ahead. This winter, you can let Meng Feng go out to search for supplies for you as much as you like, so as not to be in a hurry. I want to see the results when spring begins."
Lin Musen's wishful thinking was crackling, he planned to stay in this elementary school by himself, like a king who did nothing, and took a group of followers to enjoy the benefits.
The rest will be driven to that dilapidated village and town to farm, raise livestock, and provide him with three meals a day. If there is some rice wine, tobacco will be more perfect.
Liu Yan vaguely has a plan, this is the best result so far, as long as he separates from him, most of the conflicts can be resolved.
As for the idea of raising and letting everyone work to raise Lin Musen, when Meng Feng came back and heard about it, he would only give him a kick.
"Okay, no problem." Liu Yan said, "I'll do it now."
"Your workshop is still here." Lin Musen nodded and said: "You are very important to me, you have to protect yourself. Meng Feng is very capable, he can protect the people who go to live in the village."
Liu Yan said: "I'm going back, how far is the search range you sent Meng Feng and Zhang Min? What about the means of transportation?"
Lin Musen said: "One hundred and eighty kilometers, jeep, I personally circled the range on the map, what?"
Liu Yan planned in his heart, it would take at least two days for him to go around and look around.
"It's nothing." Liu Yan said with a smile, "Ask casually."
When he turned to leave, Lin Musen suddenly said: "Liu Yan."
Liu Yan turned around and looked into Lin Musen's eyes.
Lin Musen: "I always feel that you don't seem to like me very much, is that so?"
"Brother Sen, you are serious." Liu Yan hooked the corner of his mouth, he never expected that Lin Musen would lose control, so he said this first. Since he meant to be open and honest, he and Cassia were safe for the time being.
Lin Musen said indifferently: "You are a material that can be made, you have to be obedient, you know."
Liu Yan: "Brother Sen, to be frank, I do feel a little uncomfortable sometimes."
Lin Musen said: "It's uncomfortable, you can say it, my gang has always spoken freely. I'm the oldest here. From the beginning when you came to join me, I treated you like my younger brothers."
Liu Yan sighed and said: "Brother Sen, you provided the resources for us to survive, accepted us when we fled for the first time, and gave us food and drink. For this, Meng Feng and I are very grateful to you .”
"But I feel that all human beings are created equal. You are our leader, not the emperor. You give us food and drink, I believe it is because you have compassion in your heart and are willing to stand up to protect us when we cannot protect ourselves We are also willing to do our best to sacrifice our lives when you need it, to fulfill your and other people's happiness, in return."
"Meng Feng has always thought this way. He is very strong, but who can say for sure? This is friendship, not obedience, and trust between each other, not... what those elites always liked to say in the past, Chinese people 'slavery', I believe we don't have slavishness."
"So one day, when one of us is hurt, I hope you will give us something to eat and drink, give us a chance to say goodbye to you and wish you well, and then watch me and him leave together, saying 'farewell friend , good luck'. Instead of pointing at my head, just shoot me."
Lin Musen listened quietly without commenting.
Lin Musen said: "I will reflect on myself, how do you say that sentence? I examine myself three times a day, is that so?"
Liu Yan: "Yes."
Lin Musen said: "I will ask you about everything in the future. By the way, when you mentioned my protection for you, I suddenly remembered an important question, it was about Pastor Wu, and I almost forgot."
Liu Yan: "What happened to the pastor?"
Lin Musen said: "I don't like some of his behaviors. For example, when receiving food, he always said 'thank the Lord', and let other people say 'thank the Lord'. When eating, he said 'thank the Lord for giving us food', going to bed saying 'thank you Lord for giving us a safe place to go'... there's so much more to say."
Liu Yan: "..."
Lin Musen: "He didn't know it at all. It was me who gave him food, drink, and a place to live. The people who protected him were my subordinates. He told others that it was the savior who was protecting everyone here, including I."
Liu Yan: "This is the normal state of the clergy... How should I put it, Brother Sen, you can take the 'lord' he said as you..."
Lin Musen: "I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about me."
Liu Yan had a headache and couldn't explain this problem to Lin Musen at all. Just as he was about to ease the conflict, Lin Musen said coldly: "Since he feels that his master is protecting him, let him go out later and give him three days food, let him go from here to his Lord."
Liu Yan frowned, looked at Lin Musen to confirm whether he was serious.
Lin Musen swung the gun in one hand, and said casually: "Do you think it's okay to deal with it this way? You see, I reflected on myself and started to ask your opinion."
Liu Yan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Sen, let me intercede for him."
Lin Musen said: "Or you are in charge of asking him to replace thanking the Lord with thanking brother Sen. It is also possible. The past will not be investigated."
"This... I guess it's a bit difficult." Liu Yan said.
Lin Musen: "Either go tell Hu Jue and tell him to shut up that pastor completely."
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Okay."
Lin Musen lazily said: "Let me hear it one more time, and he will really go to see his master. In fact, I have considered using other methods, and I can send him there with one shot."
Liu Yan nodded, no longer wasting words, and before turning to leave, the door was knocked again.
Hu Jue opened the door and came in, Liu Yan left, Hu Jue said: "Liu Yan, don't leave yet."
Liu Yan stopped, Lin Musen looked up at Hu Jue, Hu Jue said: "A car came outside, and there were two people who escaped from Xi'an in the car."
Liu Yan: "Are refugees coming?"
Lin Musen said: "Hu Jue, you are in charge of solving it, and see if they have the qualifications to stay."
Hu Jue said: "It's a man and a woman. I think you should meet them in person, because they brought bad news."
"Zombie?" Liu Yan immediately sensed the problem.
Hu Jue nodded and confirmed Liu Yan's guess: "It's winter, and all the zombies are heading south. There are 100,000 zombie waves heading towards us. According to their news, there is less than a day left." It's almost here."
There was a long silence in the office.
Liu Yan: "One hundred thousand zombies?"
Hu Jue: "One hundred thousand zombies."
Lin Musen said: "Liu Yan, go and prepare, I know you can understand, you are a smart person. Hu Jue, bring those two newcomers here, I will ask them about their situation."
