People who are accustomed to relying on force to bully are often vulnerable to stronger force.
Shen Shi'an held a stick in one hand, and his expression was not even vicious, but the group of people who were clamoring to snatch his backpack and divide his things a moment ago looked like mice who had seen the light, you pushed me, I pushed you, but there was nothing One dares to step forward—
No one is willing to try, what would it feel like if the stick that had pierced hundreds of zombie skulls pierced his body.
In the silence of the room, Shen Shi'an's clear voice sounded coldly: "If you want to get more supplies, there are still three floors upstairs that have not been cleaned up. Just join in the cleaning operation and distribute according to your work. It should be your share." I won’t give you less. If you don’t have the guts to face zombies and want to get something for nothing, then just wait and starve to death.”
"Mr. Shen is right." Zhang Ze, who had been silent all this time, suddenly took a few steps forward, as if he had never planned to stay out of the matter, and stood next to Shen Shi'an with the strongest backing posture, his eyes were sharp from behind the lens And cold: "Is it possible that the life of hiding in the safe zone is so comfortable that many people have forgotten the most basic fact—every bit of supplies you get is collected by the participants risking their lives?" , Without the dedication of the participants, you would have starved to death long ago. Mr. Shen is especially responsible for this, but instead of being ungrateful, you want to rob him of his personal income? How is this behavior different from bandits and robbers? Not only shameless, And absolutely unforgivable!"
He looked around coldly for a week, looking at those left behind no longer with the gentle and polite eyes of the past, but as if he was looking down on some kind of insignificant low-level creature: "Today, all troublemakers cancel the right to distribute materials, do you have any opinions?" ?”
Shen Shi'an looked at his easy-going leadership posture, and suddenly understood.
Everyone distributes supplies according to their work. Among them, those left behind do not participate in the zombie clean-up operation, but they can get a small amount of food through the cleaning work afterwards. This method was proposed by Zhang Ze.
There are three reasons.
First, use the high-sounding reason of "strive for everyone to live together" to build their own prestige among survivors;
Second, split the survivors into two camps, the left-behinds and the participants, and select members among the participants to gradually develop a group headed by themselves.
Third, nourish the cowardice and inertia of those left behind. How dangerous it is to confront a zombie head-on, even if it's just a cut by the opponent's nails, the end is sure to die. If you only need to hide in a safe area and get supplies after cleaning, why not do it? Although there are a little less things, it is better to be able to maintain life than to die at the hands of zombies and become a monster!
Laziness and greed are often inseparable. The less these people get each time, the deeper the envy of those who have enough supplies, and it will even lead to "my job is dirty and tiring, and I pay no less labor than him, why should he get what he gets?" Just more than me" and other thoughts to paralyze myself.
Such jealousy and greed are deliberately leading the next step to accumulate and concentrate on Shen Shi'an. As long as the fuel is slowly added to the fire, sooner or later there will be an outbreak. What Zhang Ze was waiting for was such an opportunity—
He expected that Shen Shi'an would not sit still, and he also expected that the left behind would not have the guts to really fight Shen Shi'an. The left-behinds were greedy and made trouble first. With the deterrence of Shen Shi'an, Zhang Ze, who appeared on the stage at the right time, would receive immediate results no matter how he dealt with them, making the participants more trust him, and would not trigger the rest of the left-behinds to rebound.
In this way, in the eyes of the participants, he is the defender of interests, and in the eyes of the left behind, he is the decider of fate, and the position of the leader is unshakable, and Shen Shi'an is the best help to help him establish this position.
Of course, if Shen Shi'an suffered a loss or even got injured in this farce, it would be a happy event for Zhang Ze to lose a strong opponent to compete for the leadership position.
In any case, he can achieve his purpose.
There are actually very few people with leadership personality. When a disaster occurs, most people will subconsciously look for a backbone in order to be led by others. This can help them overcome panic and calm down quickly. And Zhang Ze is undoubtedly a typical leader personality, whether it is the degree of understanding of human nature or the ability to control other people's thinking, he is extremely outstanding.
Since when did he start calculating all this? Just entered the library? Or realize that everyone is just a rescue team's outcasts and will be left here forever
For such a scheming person, Shen Shi'an lowered his eyes and rubbed his thumb twice on the goad: It's really annoying.
After the materials were distributed, the richest man Miao found Shen Shi'an: "Brother Shen, I would like to ask for advice. Do you have any way to quickly improve your combat ability? I feel that my combat effectiveness is still too weak. I will leave it to everyone during the clean-up operation." Slow down." He recorded a total of two zombies today, but he actually solved only half of them with his own ability, the other half was due to Shen Shi'an's kick, and the other was purely a blind cat. Rat, someone knocked down a bookshelf and hit one, and he happened to pick it up.
Shen Xun was clamoring to eat Zhang Ze, and Shen Shi'an was coaxing the child, so he glanced at him: "Did you make up your mind, or was it just a whim?"
Miao's richest man: "Huh?"
"I have a method, but it will definitely not be easy. If you are determined to improve yourself, then I can tell you, but if it's just a whim," Shen Shi'an frowned: "Don't waste each other's time."
Miao's richest man was startled, and then laughed: "Brother Shen, don't look at me as a rich man, I'm full of the out-of-the-ordinary look of a rich man, but in fact, I came from a poor family, and I've been from a poor family for several generations. Eat food in the loess land. Being able to work hard for such a large property in City H is not just idle and waiting for the sky to fall. To put it bluntly, the hardships I have suffered are beyond your imagination. Yes Brother Shen, please give me some advice on how to do it, if I call half a sentence bitter and half tired, write the words Miao Shoufu upside down!"
Shen Shi'an stared at him for a while, then raised his head and called Li Cheng over: "Do you have time this afternoon?"
"Yes." Just finished cleaning the floor and distributing the supplies, there is plenty of time in the afternoon.
Shen Shi'an took out half a bag of brown sugar from his backpack, which he had just allocated, and took out half a bag of salt from the space, and said to Miao Shoufu: "Your biggest problem right now is that you don't exercise enough, and even the most basic physical fitness If you can’t reach the level, how can you fight against zombies? The easiest way to exercise is to run, run around the first floor, run up the stairs to the fifth floor, run around the fifth floor, and finally run down the floor. It’s one round. Add a cup of light salt water and a cup of sugar water every ten minutes, if you can run a hundred rounds within three hours,” said this and paused: “I remember you got a pack of instant noodles ?”
"En!" The richest man Miao nodded proudly.
"If you can run a hundred rounds in three hours, I'll sponsor you two marinated eggs and one sausage tonight, so you can have a good meal."
Then, ignoring the other party's happy expression as if he was about to cry, he handed the brown sugar and edible salt to Li Cheng: "Please supervise him, and I will pay you two marinated eggs for three hours." Grilled sausage as a reward." After thinking for a while, he said: "If you want to exercise with him, you can also, pay attention to adding sugar and salt."
The richest man Miao recovered from his excitement: "Hey, wait a minute, Brother Shen, you have already helped me a lot by formulating the exercise method. How can I ask you to provide supplies again, no, no, no."
Li Cheng waved his hands again and again, saying that he couldn't take his things.
"Zhang Ze is right," Shen Shi'an looked at the two of them: "Cleaning up the zombies depends on the strength of the group. The higher the physical fitness of you two, the more guarantees for my safety. Hurry up and don't push it any further." Come and push."
The two looked at each other, then nodded heavily: "We will not let you down."
Before the two ran up the stairs, Shen Shi'an quietly grabbed Li Cheng: "In case Mr. Miao can't hold on and wants to give up, you can tell him that you can only survive if you become stronger, and you can earn back more than a dozen properties only if you survive. "
Li Cheng didn't understand why, but he still nodded: "Oh, I see."
The floors of the library are much higher than ordinary buildings, and running up and down a hundred times in a row is not an easy task, especially when everyone around you looks at you like a fool.
However, to Shen Shi'an's surprise, both Li Cheng and Miao Shoufu persevered. They were sweating profusely and panting like cows. Their clothes were so wet that they could wring out water. When they took the last step, they immediately collapsed on the floor of the first floor. It was hard to even move a finger.
Shen Shi'an took four bento boxes he "accidentally" found in the staff room, each containing a piece of bread, two marinated eggs, and a grilled sausage, sprinkled with seasoning packets, and picked them up from the water heater on the fifth floor Four bowls of boiling water—the water boiler on this floor was unplugged after the zombies were cleaned up, and the water inside was still boiling hot. According to the currently recognized distribution rules, only participants can enjoy it.
Then put the four bento boxes on a wooden board, picked it up and took Shen Xun to the first floor, kicked the legs of the two people who were soft and mushy: "Dinner is ready."
The chopsticks were found from a drawer in the staff room. It is estimated that the staff often order take-out, and there is a large pile of unused disposable chopsticks. Li Cheng and Li Cheng's limbs were so sore and limp that they couldn't even break apart the chopsticks, so Shen Shi'an stuffed them into their hands after they separated.
When the lid of the bento box was lifted, steaming steam mixed with the aroma of instant noodles and grilled sausage rushed over. Miao's rich man's hand holding the chopsticks shook, his eyes seemed a little red, but he couldn't see clearly through a layer of water mist, and after a long time, he took a sip of the bowl with great respect like Li Cheng.
Then I can't control the speed.
In less than two minutes, the richest man Miao put down the bento box that didn't even have a drop of noodle soup left, leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh: "This is really the best bowl of noodles I've ever eaten."
After speaking, I saw Shen Xun on the opposite side reacting: "I'm sorry, I forgot that there are children here. Kid, he's fucking swearing, children can't say it, don't learn from uncle if you know."
Shen Shi'an: "..."
"But brother Shen," Miao's richest man said again, "your kid is quite fierce. When the left-behinds made trouble in the morning, his little eyes, tsk tsk, seemed to be eating people."
Shen Xun snorted: If An An didn't stop him, those people would have entered his stomach long ago.
He glanced at the two bento boxes on the opposite side: If you didn't dare to eat my braised eggs and sausages for the sake of speaking for An An, you two wouldn't be able to escape!
Li Cheng followed closely and put down the empty bento box. His body regained strength, his dark face turned a little red, and he said to Shen Shi'an, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry for costing you." It was the first warm meal he had eaten in nearly half a month.
Miao's richest man also became serious: "Brother Shen, you have saved me three times," once pulling him from the pile of zombies into the library, once giving him a pack of biscuits who were starving to death, and now giving him life again The method and hope—even if it’s just to taste the steaming instant noodles and sausage, he can’t just die in the library like this. "It is said that there is no thanks for the great kindness, so I will not come in vain. Miao will always remember the great kindness and virtue in his heart."
Shen Shi'an stared at the child as he finished eating the eggs, and then looked at the two of them: "Two marinated eggs can't save your lives. If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself. Is there any sugar and salt left? Exercise tomorrow continue."
Miao's richest man's eyes lit up: "Can I still eat instant noodles and grilled sausage tomorrow?"
Even Li Cheng couldn't help it, and slapped him on the shoulder with a suppressed smile: "Brother Miao, what are you thinking, wake up."
After eating, Shen Shi'an took the child into the bathroom, took a shower, and went into the cubicle to change into clean underwear. Although it was still unbearable for Shen Shi'an, he could only do this due to the environment. the point.
Back in the reading room, Zhang Ze could be seen standing beside the tatami where the two slept from a long distance away. Shen Shi'an calmed down the child who was about to rush over to bite someone, and walked over at full speed: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Ze smiled gently: "There is indeed something I want to discuss with Mr. Shen."
"Say."
"The library has eight floors." Zhang Ze didn't seem to mind his attitude at all, and said in a gentle voice: "It will be cleaned up soon, and it may be difficult to collect materials in the future. I and other participants After some discussion, I decided to go to the restaurant to try my luck, I wonder if Mr. Shen is interested?"
This is what he and his group have been secretly planning recently
Shen Shi'an rebuffed straight away: "I won't go."
The library has a restaurant. It is said to be a restaurant. In fact, it is more accurate to call it a cafe. It is located in the center of the garden inside the cylindrical glass wall. It is connected to the lobby on the first floor by three arched wooden bridges. It is mainly for employees and books. The residents of the pavilion provide desserts, drinks and daily light meals.
Many people who come together like to go to the restaurant to discuss and exchange after borrowing books, not only because the book area and reading area need to be quiet and unable to talk, but also because of the unique scenery that can be seen in the restaurant—
The design of the city library is very distinctive, focusing on the integration of man and nature, which is why such a large circle of glass walls is used to grow grass and flowers. Not only are the three passages to the restaurant built in the shape of wooden arch bridges with lush flowers on both sides, the restaurant itself is a huge wooden house with various vines and plants climbing on the roof and walls, and the green plants are layered like waterfalls, trying to blend with the entire garden As a whole, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to tell the difference.
There must be a lot of supplies in the restaurant, there is no doubt about it. But it is not certain whether they can successfully get this batch of materials.
Since Shen Shi'an and others entered the library, no trace of any survivors other than them has been found. You must know that the library in city h is different from other places, because there are millions of books in the collection, including various professional books of various disciplines, so the flow of people is extremely considerable no matter it is a working day or a weekend, and it is impossible for everyone Are they all infected with the virus? If this is the case, then the number of zombies they encountered when cleaning the floors would not match.
When people entered the library, the three doors at the entrance of the wooden bridge leading from the hall on the first floor to the dining room had been properly locked from the inside, so the most likely situation is that all survivors in the library They all hid in restaurants with the most abundant food resources. If it were Shen Shi'an, he probably would have chosen the same way.
So there is only one question left - are the survivors who hid in the restaurant still alive today
There are layers of green vines hanging upside down on the roof of the restaurant, covering all the windows like a waterfall, and only occasionally a figure can be seen walking back and forth through the gaps. As for whether the figure is dead or alive, it is completely uncertain.
On the other hand, if the people in the restaurant are still alive, why has no one come out for so long? Even if he was afraid of having a dispute with the survivors over food, but when the helicopter flew by that day, the sound was so loud, didn't anyone want to come out and take a look
Compared with "the survivors in the restaurant are still alive", another guess is more convincing—maybe they are mixed with virus-infected people who have not yet mutated, maybe there are many zombies hidden in the restaurant, anyway, Survivors who wanted to hide in for refuge have probably encountered accidents.
If it was a week ago, Shen Shi'an might still consider going in to have a look. But now it has been confirmed that the zombies will evolve, and the evolved zombies still have a sense of the spirit spring, so he will not venture into it as a target anyway.
Zhang Ze was not surprised by his answer, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I see, then good night, Mr. Shen."
Shen Shi'an looked at his back and frowned slightly: After what happened in the morning, Zhang Ze should know better than anyone else that he neither trusts him, nor will he agree to go into the restaurant with him. What
It's not like inviting him to go, but like coming here on purpose to make sure he won't go.
This kind of person is annoying. Shen Shi'an rubbed the child's head and thought irritably: Let Shen Xun bite him to death.
Shen Shi'an didn't go to the restaurant, but Li Cheng decided to join the cleaning team this time. "Mr. Zhang said that there must be a lot of supplies in the restaurant. I want to go in and try my luck."
Shen Shi'an persuaded him twice to no avail, so he could only remind him to be more careful.
"Mr. Shen, don't worry, there are quite a lot of people going this time, and there are also people from the left behind." Li Cheng said with a smile: "And I'm not inexperienced, and the zombies I have dealt with are almost thirty." There is a lot to gain in the restaurant, and some can be given to Mr. Shen.
As for Miao's richest man, like Shen Shi'an, he was indifferent to Zhang Ze's proposal. Privately whispered to Shen Shi'an: "Zhang Ze is the kind of person I don't want to deal with in the business field. The twists and turns in his stomach can go around the solar system five times. He is smiling on the surface, but he is cheating on you behind his back. Typical Buddha mouth snake heart."
However, regardless of whether he and Shen Shian went or not, three days later, on April 17, the team that decided to participate in the restaurant cleanup operation gathered as scheduled.
Shen Shi'an felt a little uneasy in his heart, but when he found that Yuanlianfang was also in the cleaning team, this uneasiness became stronger. Before he had time to think carefully, he handed his stabbing stick to Li Cheng: "Use this, remember, be careful, if you find something wrong, run back immediately, and I will help you."
Li Cheng gritted out two rows of white teeth, nodded heavily: "Yes!"
At nine o'clock in the morning, the three glass doors leading to the wooden bridge were forcibly unlocked, and the cleaning team divided into three groups and walked in one by one.
Ten minutes later, everyone disappeared under the cover of the green waterfall.
Things seemed to go much smoother than Shen Shi'an imagined, because less than two hours later, the cleaning team returned to the hall on the first floor along the wooden bridge, and everyone returned with a full load.
No one was injured, and only one member was missing from the team - Fang Fang.
Amidst the cheers of those left behind, most of the members held their heads high and their chests high, but there were still a small number of people whose faces turned pale. As soon as they returned to the hall, they covered their mouths and rushed to the bathroom, including Li Cheng.
It took Shen Shi'an and Miao Shoufu nearly an hour to piece together the truth of the entire clean-up operation from his mouth.
The cleaning team was divided into three groups and arrived at the three entrances of the restaurant. Members of one of the groups suddenly joined together, pressed another member of the group, Fangfang Fang, to the ground and tied him with a rope, then cut a gash in his leg, and stuffed his lower body through the opening.
"...Dinner, the door of the restaurant is locked with an iron chain," Li Cheng leaned against the partition board of the bathroom, his face was bloodless from vomiting for a long time, and even though his fingertips were clenched tightly, he couldn't help shaking violently : "The gap in the middle is just enough to fit a person's lower body in, but the upper body is stuck outside. The inside is full of zombies, smelling the smell of blood, they all surround them..."
The round face became a living target of flesh and blood, leading all the zombies in the restaurant to an entrance. There are few vital parts in the lower body, even if they are bitten by zombies for a while, they will not die. Due to the evolution of physique, after the survivors are infected with the virus, it will take at least an hour or two before they completely lose consciousness.
Li Cheng's face was full of tears: "Brother Shen, Brother Miao, I'm right across from them, I saw them all, he wanted to crawl out, but other people blocked him, those zombies, those zombies dragged his legs, pulled his bones I gnawed it all out…”
Shen Shi'an's eyes were fixed: "Why didn't you hear his screams?"
"One of the team members blocked his mouth with clothes..."
"I have stepped on Ma Le Gobi," the richest man Miao couldn't help cursing bitterly, his face turned pale just listening to Li Cheng's description, and he felt some physical discomfort while clutching his chest: "This he'mma is too vicious! "That's a real person!
Only one person can come up with such a plan.
Shen Shi'an took a deep breath. Zhang Ze worked every step of the way, deliberately trying to separate the participants and the left-behinds, and they were hostile to each other. It turned out that there was such a function.
I have to admit that he chose this bait extremely cleverly. If you want all the survivors to vote among themselves, and choose the person with the worst character and the least popularity, the round-faced Fang Fang who tried to close the door early for his own selfishness, regardless of the life and death of those who came later, and then repeatedly took the lead in making troubles Absolutely among the best, even Shen Shi'an doesn't have any good feelings for him.
The people in the same group as the round-faced Fang are obviously Zhang Ze's carefully selected confidantes to carry out the plan. They are most likely the people who were almost shut out by the round-faced Fang. They were almost killed by the zombies because of the round-faced Fang. Bite to death, there was already resentment in his heart, coupled with Zhang Ze's step-by-step guidance, people like round-faced Fang were just selfish wimps for most of the participants, and had no effect other than wasting food. Use him as bait, not only to relieve hatred but also to make the best use of everything, why not
Even if the participants in the other groups saw it, one side had a round face that would definitely die after being bitten by a zombie, and the other side had a clear avenue leading to a large amount of supplies, which one would they choose
And those left behind don't even have to think about it. Those who were eliminated by Zhang Ze and deliberately bred cowardly and lazy people, even if they knew that the supplies were bought with Fang Fang's life, how many people would care
Zhang Ze's ultimate goal is to establish a small society headed by him with a clear hierarchy in the library. Cleaning up the restaurant is probably only the first step.
Shen Shi'an guessed right. This batch of materials transported from the restaurant, Zhang Ze did not distribute them to the left-behinds at all, but moved them all to the eighth floor of the library-this is the current base camp for him and his fans.
There is only one way for those left behind to obtain supplies, which is to provide services to participants who have supplies. Beating the back, pinching the legs, washing clothes, including any service accepted by the other party is fine. If you want to live, you can only live in this way.
The first to follow the new rules were the couple surnamed Huang who wanted to steal snacks from the vending machine. With the first and second as demonstrations, it seemed much easier to obey the new rules.
The few remaining who are unwilling to betray their dignity may not be able to last long even if they want to fight stubbornly. It is impossible for the power of this small group of people to rush in. If you want to get food, what else can you do besides begging for mercy
Shen Shi'an even had to admire Zhang Ze. In less than half a month, he completely shattered the civilized order familiar to the survivors, transitioned to another society without hindrance, and continued with the new rules and order. run.
And at this time, just fourteen days before the global virus outbreak, how many places like the library in city h are there all over the world? How many people like Zhang Ze are there
On April 18, 2019, the thirteenth night when everyone entered the library, the desk lamps for lighting suddenly went out, and the backup power system ran out of fuel.
More than two hours later, Shen Shi'an opened his eyes, feeling the fading heat in his lower abdomen and the huge energy filling his body, and whispered to Shen Xun, "It's time to leave."
