order.
During the time when Chen Feng was away, Xu Hongzhuang took over the management. Unlike Wei Xun who led the Blood Battle Department, she was covered in blood and therefore a little intimidating. Xu Hongzhuang originally walked the path of justice and had an outstanding appearance. In addition, she was the first professional to truly become a legend on her own, so she had a strong appeal in the order.
Order has long become a behemoth, like a glutton, swallowing everything it can see into its stomach.
Some people like a stable life.
But there are also people who like excitement and adventure, and many soldiers are still eager to conquer everything with force.
The cold winter is approaching, and the environment has changed drastically since the beginning of the week. The weather, which was originally normal, has been cooling down for a week. Even if it only drops by one or two degrees every day, the cumulative effect is still a bit too much for people to bear.
The cold air came to this land quietly and silently. In other forces, the land could no longer be cultivated because it was too cold outside. Many works were forced to stop. The cold wave affected many lives, which caused the survivors of some forces to stay at home to a large extent. It was too cold outside, and people could only reduce their activities to conserve their energy.
But these situations are quite different in the Order. The Order has been hoarding food for a long time, and has deliberately encouraged survivors to hoard food. There are not many entertainment activities in the doomsday. Even though the Order encourages childbirth and there will be some extra subsidies for giving birth to offspring, hiding at home every day to make children is fast if the time is short, but it will make people feel a little bored if the time is long.
The Order's factories did not stop. Every day, thick white smoke hovered above the factories. The Order restored part of its industry. With a population of one million, there was no shortage of professional talents. With the joint efforts of the survivors and the wise men, the Order had changed from relying on iron foundries to forge weapons to a real assembly line project. For example, those enhanced guns, when fully fired, were enough to produce more than 300 guns a day. As for cold weapons, the number was countless.
The development of order is beyond imagination. There is no doubt that order has long been prepared to withstand the cold wave.
However, Silver City, which had established diplomatic relations with Order, was not very optimistic. Order and Silver City had already completed the transaction. In addition to exchanging food for population at the beginning, when the weather became colder day by day, Silver City submitted its transaction requirements again.
This time, the population is no longer composed of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, but survivors who are mainly women. These survivors are relatively young and are undoubtedly more valuable than the previous elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
Even though Silver City still had some surplus, the cold wave affected farming, and the surrounding beasts and insects froze to death. Silver City had lost its source of food both internally and externally. The cruelest thing was that there had been large-scale starvation, looting and vandalism in Silver City.
The survivors lost their food source and lived in fear all day long. Even though the City of Silver provided a certain amount of food subsidies every day, in order to fight the cold wave, the food was obviously limited.
Panic began to spread over the City of Silver. After careful consideration, the superiors decided to conduct a second population trade.
In the last transaction, the old, weak and sick in the city exchanged for food. Those were real food at a good price. The order proved its trustworthiness with facts.
As for how to choose the population for this grain exchange, it is not a very complicated question.
Men are all potential warriors. Even if they consume more food, they can still resist foreign enemies at critical moments. At the very least, they can pick up stones and throw them down when defending the city. They are not like women who would just hide aside and wail timidly at critical moments.
Moreover, apart from the use of force, women have not received much attention from other forces. When the end of the world comes, civilization will never recover. In this situation, bullying of women often occurs. This is the bad nature of human beings. In peacetime, everyone claims to be civilized, but because there are laws that bind people's conscience, no matter how bad a person is, there is always a moral bottom line.
Because everyone knows what price they will face once they touch this bottom line!
Prison? Or the cruelest form of death penalty!
But now is the end of the world. People have seen a lot of death and experienced true despair. In the absence of constraints, morality is no longer bound, and they naturally return to their most primitive animal nature.
Xu Hongzhuang held this meeting because she saw the list of people to be exchanged for food.
There were a total of 30,000 people on the list, 90% of whom were women, and the remaining 10% were men and some children.
Xu Hongzhuang claimed that she was fighting for justice, and at one point she even regarded Chen Feng as a real devil because his style of doing things was incompatible with her own!
But…
Two years have passed. Apart from order, the outside world has become a barren land in Xu Hongzhuang's impression.
What Chen Feng said before has come true. Although she doesn't want to admit it, Xu Hongzhuang still has to sigh that in this world, order may be the last piece of pure land for mankind...
Xu Hongzhuang woke up from her dream. All her original fantasies were shattered one by one in the face of her experiences. As Chen Feng's confidant, Xu Hongzhuang had naturally been exposed to the Cold Current Operation, which, as the name suggests, was to use the cold current to gather the population and watch coldly the nearby neighbor, Silver City.
Originally, Xu Hongzhuang had raised objections, but the other party had already dismissed a group of old, weak and sick people before the cold wave came, which had already made Xu Hongzhuang a little dissatisfied. And not long after exchanging for food, when there was still food in stock, the other party again proposed to exchange population for rations. The practice of Baiyin City made Xu Hongzhuang completely disappointed, so she changed camp, even though doing so would result in the death of many people, but how can there be no casualties when doing big things throughout history
Compared to the City of Silver, Order is undoubtedly more suitable for survivors to live in.
Xu Hongzhuang's call for participation quickly received responses from many people. Even those who had no interest in it came to attend the meeting out of fear and the desire to please the other party.
Chen Feng did not have the idea of allowing one party to dominate the market. The several forces were also political enemies. In the past, there had been some frictions at work due to the personalities of their leaders. If it was just an ordinary little matter, the several parties would naturally not be able to sit together like this. But this time was different. Xu Hongzhuang carried the banner of Chen Feng.
As far as order is concerned, Chen Feng has long become a symbol engraved in people's hearts. Even though there have been many frictions among the forces in the past, on the second night after the notice, they all gathered in the room to listen to what Xu Hongzhuang's plan is.
