The first thing Zhu Haifeng had to do was to convince the dozen fire brigade members who were labored by Shen Cong to be his first supporters when he joined the fire brigade.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and it's not loyalty that was valued in ancient times. So after receiving the promise of freedom, these Liu Zheng's men quickly defected to Zhu Haifeng's banner, and one by one they swore to support Zhu Haifeng as the fire captain.
And began to make suggestions for Zhu Haifeng on how to win more people's support.
People are very realistic. With the fierce support of Shen Cong behind the scenes, the possibility of Zhu Haifeng becoming the captain is greatly increased. It is far more cost-effective for them to come over now than after Zhu Haifeng becomes the captain. Support Zhu Haifeng now. When Zhu Haifeng becomes captain, their status will naturally rise.
On the one hand, he was thinking about Liu Zheng's benefits and was ostracized, and might even be killed by Shen Cong.
On the one hand, following Zhu Haifeng, the rising tide lifts all boats, so there is no need to worry about the head on the neck.
It is not difficult to do this multiple choice question.
Wang Yingying stood aside, listening to their discussion, her heart was churning. She was sent by Shen Cong to supervise these people with the option of trading. Shen Cong is very individual in what he does, that is, he wants to send people to monitor and clearly tell Zhu Haifeng and the firefighters that everything must be based on my interests.
He chose Wang Yingying because he saw Wang Yingying's hatred for the fire brigade. This hatred originated from the insult she received from the Green-faced, Fang-Toothed One-eyed Dragon.
That kind of insult gave her nightmares for a long time, and she could no longer hide her hatred.
Shen Cong told her that those people were also from the fire brigade, and the fire brigade was a mixed bag.
So Wang Yingying is wary of the fire brigade.
When Shen Cong chose to promote Zhu Haifeng and reorganize the management team of Juchao District, Wang Yingying agreed with both hands and feet. She also begged Shen Cong that if there was a green-faced, fanged one-eyed dragon in the fire brigade, he could help her get revenge.
Shen Cong gave her an accurate reply: "When Zhu Haifeng becomes captain, I will ask him to thoroughly investigate the scum among the survivors. Anyone who has committed the crime of indiscriminate killing of innocent people and rape will be directly sentenced to death."
It was not a sense of moral justice that made him do this, but purely a moral judgment to eliminate all potential threats.
After the bad guy is killed, the remaining people are either good guys or at least "good people", and the possibility of harming him is greatly reduced.
In this chaotic end of the world, people's hearts must be shackles, and morality and order need to be maintained by strong means, otherwise it will be empty talk.
Of course, this was just what Shen Cong did casually.
He has no idea of saving humanity, he just wants to put order in the nest area, not to hinder himself from hoarding resources here, and to plan an escape route.
He will eventually go to Hefei to look for opportunities to modify the King Kong.
We don’t know how dangerous this trip will be, and we don’t know what the outcome will be. Having Grape Grove Camp as an escape route may be a trump card. In order to ensure that the Grape Forest Camp can become a trump card, Shen Cong needs to leave some backup options. Zhu Haifeng was the back-up man he chose to put on the stage.
And Wang Yingying is another backup he chose.
This woman has been hurt and has given up her innocence, so she is more pragmatic and will not be kidnapped by morality or easily brainwashed by others. After agreeing to help her get revenge, she can be used as a chess piece placed by Shen An in the grape forest camp.
Wang Yingying has the consciousness to be a chess piece.
She monitored this group of people - discussing how to build momentum for Zhu Haifeng to gain power; how to use the radicalism of Li Weijun and Zhao Yalan to unite more people; how to bring over neutral Chen Song, Xu Wanxian, Fu Jianguo and others; how to persuade Ran Ran Tai changes sides and so on - the guarantee for planning all of this is Shen Cong's strong fighting ability.
The more she listened, the more Wang Yingying felt that these people were really dirty, and at the same time, she became even more afraid of Shen Cong's power.
A strong and cold person, a cautious and principled person, Wang Yingying felt that only such a person could survive smoothly in the apocalypse.
Others are just poor people who are just living in poverty.
"Boss Huang is more trustworthy than them." Wang Yingying thought in her heart.
She felt that although Shen Cong could not make her feel warm, at least she did not have to worry that he would murder her. After experiencing the one-eyed dragon with a green face and fangs, principled indifference made her feel more at ease than unprincipled enthusiasm.
Moreover, Wang Yingying still has an ambition in her heart.
She hoped to gain Shen Cong's trust, and then follow Shen Cong to Hefei. Hefei, with its provincial military garrison, was a truly safe home that could protect her from wind and rain.
"My parents and brother are all in Hefei. They must miss me very much... Baobao and Guohao are gone, but I still have them." Wang Yingying clenched her fists, her eyes were slightly red, and her tears had dried up long ago.
She was married and her husband and children were dead.
The family building of Chaohu College collapsed.
…
Wang Yingying didn't know that Shen Cong would not take her to Hefei no matter what.
In the wilderness area between Hefei and Chaohu, the number of evolved beasts is much greater than in the nesting area in the barren zone. Unless suppressed by military firepower, it is difficult for ordinary people to pass through.
This is why Liu Zheng led his people to camp in the grape grove instead of moving to Hefei.
After traffic is cut off.
The scope of human activities has been suppressed to urban areas, and they rely on building fortifications to resist danger.
The wild has become the activity area of evolved beasts.
Even Shen Cong couldn't guarantee that he would be able to reach Hefei 100% safely. Once he encountered the golden python, life or death would depend on luck.
There was another speculation that made Shen Cong uneasy—the Provincial Military Region had not sent anyone here for a long time.
Are ordinary people who have given up on living in the nest area, or are they unable to come? If there is no way to come, is it because there is no manpower to resist the oasis locust plague, or is the road already occupied by powerful evolutionary beasts
No way to judge.
While Zhu Haifeng was planning with the firefighters, Shen Cong asked Zhang Youhai something - Zhang Youhai was also his backup plan.
"Boss Huang, I didn't expect that I would be working under Boss Huang again. It's great." Zhang Youhai still looked like a loser, and his face was more or less rosy than before.
Shen Cong ignored the other party's flattery: "How is life in the self-rescue team? What has happened in the past few days?"
"Life is so so-so. It was the heavy rain. We didn't move to the highlands in time, and several people drowned. However, after the heavy rain, a lot of Dipi vegetables grew on the ground. We have been eating Dipi vegetables for the past few days. The self-rescue team has The survivors in the south of the city have all gathered together, and there are occasional minor frictions, but overall it is relatively peaceful."
"What about the peach tree?" Shen Cong asked again. The active peaches in the murderous peach tree can promote evolution. Zhang Youhai also knew this and was present when he saw him off.
"Zhu Haifeng took us there. The trees have not yet produced fruit, but they have bloomed. We haven't checked it after it rained. We are keeping this matter secret. Zhu Haifeng means that if the active peach can really make Ordinary people evolve and let a few managers eat first, which makes management easier."
"The idea is right." Shen Cong nodded.
Zhang Youhai then asked: "Boss Huang, do you think the grapes from the Grape Forest Camp can be eaten by ordinary people to evolve?" When asking this question, Zhang Youhai's eyes were full of hope.
It is different from Shen Cong's ambivalent attitude of being eager but wary of mutation.
Ordinary people are full of envy for mutations. Shen Cong has also experienced this kind of envy. When he was a child, he watched "X-Men" and imagined that he also had various superpowers. Now that superpowers are real, the impact can be imagined, and everyone hopes that they can achieve a powerful evolution.
"I don't know." Shen Cong raised his eyebrows and said bewitchingly, "When Zhu Haifeng becomes the captain of the fire brigade, I will ask him to rectify the grape distribution plan. If you want to eat it, you will have a chance... And, always There will be opportunities for evolution, as long as you have the strength to look for them.”
Zhang Youhai immediately understood: "How can I have this strength? Everything depends on Boss Huang's fortune. If Boss Huang gives the order, I, Zhang Youhai, will fight to the death."
For Zhang Youhai, he had already developed a pair of snobbery after struggling to run a small business before the end of the world.
What is snobbish before the apocalypse is power and wealth, and what is snobbish after the apocalypse is strength. In this apocalyptic world where social order has collapsed, all power and wealth ultimately need to be guaranteed by strength.
The strongest person in Juchao District is undoubtedly Shen Cong. If Shen Cong wants to pull the banner, no one can stop him.
In Zhang Youhai's eyes, Zhu Haifeng is just a puppet pushed to the forefront by Shen Cong. On the surface, he is the captain of the self-rescue team and will be the captain of the fire brigade in the future. However, the "Book of Changes" says, "If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster." Whether it is prestige, strength, or brains, Zhu Haifeng cannot really sit in this high position.
Instead of fawning over Zhu Haifeng, a nominal captain who doesn't have much say, it's better to fawn over Shen Cong, who can really take charge.
Moreover.
Zhang Youhai hid while thinking about what Shen Cong said, "There will always be opportunities for evolution, as long as you have the strength to look for it." It seemed that there was something in his words.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "The peach tree was discovered by Boss Huang, and evolution was also discovered by Boss Huang. With Boss Huang's character, he must have a trump card... In other words, maybe Boss Huang has mastered the secret of people's evolution. Already?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Youhai lost all his sleepiness and wanted to rush to flatter Shen Cong right away.
He thinks too much.
