"Trash in the voodoo swamp, listen to me."
When Zhou Qingfeng stood on the low slope on the side of the road, it became the focus of everyone's attention for a while.
Luke and the others were brandishing their whips, forcibly letting the wastes of the Voodoo Swamp form a team on the road. Wilson was busy sweating so that the team could take shape as tightly as possible, without delay.
More than half of the people in the settlement received a small portion of baked bread for lunch, stuffed it in their mouths, and followed the team. The remaining half are people who are considered useless. They only get a collective order and subconsciously try to keep up with the team.
The panic, confusion, and hectic atmosphere affected everyone. The adventurers who were with Zhou Qingfeng were also impatient. Organizing a team to march was a more headache for them than fighting. There were too many details to pay attention to, and it was too cumbersome.
When Zhou Qingfeng stood up high, when everyone saw his figure, the messy team suddenly quieted down. The'junks' in his mouth no longer ran around, but looked up at him and gradually became calm.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Qingfeng let out a long and feeble sigh. He said loudly: "I want to tell you that there is not enough food in the settlements. If we want to survive, we must go to other places to grab it.
But you should be very clear that the voodoo swamp is the weakest in the entire Black Forest. Some of you are inferior to goblins. They can’t fight wars, they can’t work, they can’t do anything, just like the mud that can be seen everywhere, they are useless.
I wanted to abandon you, this will not bring me any guilt, let alone any loss. I can even save some food to feed those who are useful to me. "
The convoy had just left the settlement, and more than 300 people crowded into a clearing in the settlement. The'wastes' were dumbfounded, looking at the young man on the low slope in a daze. They don’t seem to know that their fate has been decided at a certain moment, or...
Submissively.
Wilson was very resistant to Zhou Qingfeng's order to bring the entire population. He didn't like the people in the settlement at all. Most of these despicable and inferior people can't get along in other places, and the reason is often attributed to reasons such as'baseliness'.
Wilson was born as a civilian, and he worked hard to become the president of the Artisans Association. He worked hard to establish relationships with the nobles of the upper class, and to divide the boundaries with the poor.
Luke and others are equivalent to local tycoons. Even in poor places like the Black Forest, they have the ownership of a piece of land, built a big house, have attendants, servants, handyman, and even slaves, becoming the lowest level. Those in power.
These people also couldn't understand what Zhou Qingfeng did. They are still not aristocrats, but they will never take pity for the lowest-level untouchables—the world’s food production is very low, medical conditions are poor, no matter how high or low, human lives are really worthless.
For the most basic rulers, the society becomes more stable by the death of some worthless untouchables.
But Zhou Qingfeng doesn't think so. Regardless of whether there is a need for a task, it is difficult for him to ignore the death of those'junks'. He has not yet integrated into this world, and may never be able to integrate into it. He continued...
"I want to congratulate you who can receive the bread. I think you still have a little value to me, so that you are willing to fill your bottomless stomach with precious food. But the food is not for you to eat in vain.
I will drive you, oppress you, and even enslave you. I want you to work for me. I hope you will use your brains more and try to do everything I command. Because only I will support you, and someone else would have abandoned you long ago.
I only wanted to bring fifty subordinates, Wilson added fifty softly, and I kindly added a hundred. Don't let my kindness turn into a joke, or you will have a dead end. There is only one chance. Don't blame me for being ruthless if you can't catch it. "
There was a commotion among the'junks' in the convoy, and they understood.
The real powerful masters should be those of Luke. They don't need too many subordinates, because there is no way to plant and cultivate in the Black Forest. They only need a few powerful attendants, a few capable and obedient servants, and at most some handyman.
This is enough.
Too much to support.
For the refugees, the powerful master doesn't need it at all. They cannot even feed their own population.
Now if you want to survive, you really can only follow Victor Hugo closely. Only he will have such a little compassion for the lowly refugees and will use their meager labor.
Those who can join the team are lucky, but those who cannot join the team
Those are the rubbish. They dragged behind the team, staggering, like zombies. Even Zhou Qingfeng can't think of what use these guys can do? Death may be a relief for them.
Zhou Qingfeng looked at those'zombies', and slowly shook his head: "For those who failed to join the team, I think you are really hopeless.
I don't have so much food to waste, so I can only abandon you and let you die in this settlement that is destined to have nowhere to survive. "
Zombie-like people are more stupid than rubbish waste. They seem indifferent to Zhou Qingfeng's words, blinking at best, as if deaf.
"But..." Zhou Qingfeng changed his tone again, "I don't want to be so cruel. I decided to give you a chance, a chance to survive. We are going to the iron ore valley about twelve miles away, I Waiting for you there.
I will leave some food every two miles. As long as you can keep up with the convoy, you will be able to fill your stomach and continue on the next journey. As long as you can finish these twelve miles, I will accept you to join my team.
I know that this journey will be a test and a torture for you. Those fools, idiots, and weak will give up the chance of survival in the first place. I will also breathe a sigh of relief, the dead will die.
Only those with the strongest desire for survival, the strongest will, and those who are willing to do everything they can, can complete this journey and survive. I will welcome such people.
Well, don't say I didn't give you a chance to survive, let's go! "
With a wave of Zhou Qingfeng, he no longer hesitated to jump off the low slope and ride on his horse.
The whole team was stunned by this speech. Seeing the wave of their hands was like a whip, their spirits were suddenly shaken, and their feet involuntarily gained a little more strength, and followed Zhou Qingfeng forward.
Luke and others originally thought that Zhou Qingfeng was a bit too benevolent, but his words were completely utilitarian. There was no hypocritical empty words between the lines. Instead, they ruthlessly revealed the current crisis, leaving a little bit at best. hope.
But such ruthless words, on the contrary, hide the greatest tenderness. A little hope is the greatest kindness.
The messy convoy became stable almost instantly, and the people in the convoy no longer clamored, but silently performed their duties. They don’t need anyone’s flogging to keep up.
After the convoy, some of the abandoned were dumbfounded, some sighed, and some simply sat and cried. However, many people still took stiff steps, moving step by step towards the direction of the convoy leaving. Even if the team gets farther and farther away, they don't give up.
Zhou Qingfeng found Wilson and ordered: "Go and prepare some food, and leave some for every two miles. I will take care of it myself."
Wilson was extremely shocked by Zhou Qingfeng's decision, and asked, "Your Excellency, do you really think anyone among those extremely weak pariahs can keep up with the team?"
"If so?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in a deep voice, "There are more than a hundred people left behind, even if only one tenth can keep up, there are more than a dozen people.
By the way, we are just a few days more rations than the abandoned people. Therefore, the harder the environment, the more it is necessary to emphasize the role of will.
If they can complete this arduous journey, they are true warriors. They will be reborn as if they were reborn, and any stains from the past will be insignificant, and I have no reason not to take them in. They will be the real warriors under me. "
