The bonfire dispelled the cold in the winter night, and the orange flames danced, creating a warm atmosphere. Surrounded by people of the same kind, behind them was a tight barrier surrounded by vehicles, and there were superhuman guards on the roof of the vehicles. In such a safe and warm atmosphere, Zhou Jingyu's voice gradually slowed down.
Shaoyin sat by the bonfire with her legs bent, holding her knees in one hand and holding a branch in the other, fiddled with the bonfire leisurely, listening to the occasional "cracking" sound in the fire, with a slight smile on her face, listening to Zhou Jingyu Introduce everyone, their intelligence, their record, each of them is a good player, who has played a key role in crisis after crisis over the past two years.
"Not bad." After Zhou Jingyu finished a commentary, she didn't speak again immediately, knowing that she had said almost, she nodded approvingly, "Everyone of you is very good, and you cooperated very well."
Hearing her approval, the melon-faced Zhou Jingyu immediately showed excitement, while the other girls were also full of joy: "Thank you for the compliment, Commander."
While fiddling with the bonfire, Shaoyin said in a gentle tone: "Do you want to continue to cooperate in the future, or do you want to work separately?"
Zhou Jingyu was stunned by the question all of a sudden, with a look of perplexity on her face, and the faces of the other girls were also a little perplexed.
They are used to cooperation, and if they are still together in the future, they will feel at ease. However, everyone has different ambitions, not everyone is willing to go out and kill zombies.
For example, Tao Zi, who is good at fashion design, would like to have a studio for fashion design. But it's too difficult, and it's not realistic at all. In the last days, it's good for everyone to wear what they have. There is no tomorrow in life. Who cares whether the clothes on the body have a sense of design
"The commander thinks, what should we choose?" Zhou Jingyu asked.
Shaoyin laughed.
She didn't answer Zhou Jingyu's question immediately, but introduced the situation of the base: "There are now more than 800 people in our base. Counting you newcomers, it should be able to break through 900 people. There will be more in the future." .”
The base will continue to expand, and the expansion itself represents many problems. Such as housing resources, food and water, health care, and hidden order issues.
There are some children in the base, all of them are free-range, and no one cares about them. Some are even locked in the room, locked for a day, day after day, without contact with outsiders all year round, let alone education.
The Institute is also short of people.
The members of the base were all disheveled, with despair and numbness on their faces. Although they were alive, they had no vigor and vitality.
"And I just became the commander not long ago." Shaoyin smiled and said, "It's less than a month."
She talked about the situation of the base, and then looked at the girls and said, "My suggestion is that you live in first, get used to it for a while, think slowly, don't worry, and make a decision after thinking about it."
After a pause, he said with a serious expression: "Since you have joined, I will never ignore you."
These words moved Zhou Jingyu and the others.
And at some point, a crowd of people gathered around, all of whom were survivors who had just joined the base. After hearing these words, his eyes flickered and his face was thoughtful.
Obviously, the leader is a man with ideas. She wants to build the base better, and there are many problems with the base now.
This is a good thing, it means they have more opportunities.
It's just that she just came to power, and it turned out that the leader was not expelled, and even became the second in command... Was it because she was incapable of expelling the other party? Is she worth their bet
Everyone was thinking about everything, Shaoyin didn't care, and talked about the banquet: "I collected a lot of materials this time. After I go back, I plan to let everyone relax and hold a banquet. It's also a new year. Welcome. You join." Saying that, he nodded to the newcomers around him.
"Thank you, leader!" Everyone said one after another.
Shaoyin looked away with a smile, and continued to fiddle with the bonfire, her voice was neither urgent nor slow: "Life is very difficult now, but we also have hope. To put it bluntly, if we are all going to die tomorrow, why don't we still wear clothes today?" Dusty, with a dirty face, doing an unknown job, complaining about the world makes people despair?"
Her voice is low, slightly hoarse, very magnetic, very feminine, without detracting from her majesty as a leader.
She was talking unhurriedly, sitting there leisurely and casually, for some reason, people couldn't look away, looking at her, for no reason, they felt a little bit at ease, as if the end of the world was no big deal.
"We are precarious now, and life is difficult. But the more it is like this, the more we have to take pleasure in suffering. Live with pride and dignity, like a human being." When she said this, she suddenly threw the branch in her hand into the fire, They clapped their hands, "When you die, die dignifiedly! Die as a dignified person, not a pitiful, numb, hollow skin!"
Her voice was not high, but it sounded like a drumbeat, and every word hit Zhongren's heart, and she couldn't help feeling inexplicable.
Some people lowered their heads, thinking that what she said was easy. After all, why talk about pride and dignity? Some people clenched their fists and lowered their eyes in thought. There is also a faint smile on the face of the person, a kind of joy of meeting someone of the same kind.
He Qing didn't know when he came. After Shaoyin's words came to an end, he patted the shoulder of the girl next to her, motioned the girl to move aside, then sat down by himself, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and turned his head to look at She said: "Boss, I want to build a laboratory. We can live there, but the equipment can't be placed randomly."
Shaoyin nodded: "Jian!"
"It must be built as soon as possible." He Qing added.
Shaoyin laughed now, looked around, then looked away and said, "Are you seeing a ready-made labor force?"
"Without them, the laboratory would have to be built." He Qing said.
Shaoyin explained the laboratory to everyone, and introduced He Qing's identity. The conversation imperceptibly revealed that everyone is a family, so they also need to know about family affairs. Unknowingly, everyone's tense bodies gradually relaxed, and they dared to offer suggestions.
Not far away, Qiao Xue finally sent away the last injured patient, and heaved a long sigh of relief.
Qin Xuancheng stood behind her and said in a low voice, "You have worked hard."
He was worried that Qiao Xue would be hurt, so he stood behind her to protect her. Just as Qiao Xue was about to say something, she suddenly heard cheers coming from the bonfire not far away. She turned her head to look, and saw Shaoyin surrounded in the middle. She said something, which aroused the excitement of the surrounding people.
You don't need to look too much, it's easy to see how she is being supported. Qiao Xue couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, and after a while she said sullenly: "I used to think she was a fool, but now look at her, I'm a fool."
"You are not stupid." Qin Xuancheng hugged her tenderly, bowed his head and said, "In my eyes, you are the kindest and lovely little fairy."
Qiao Xue blushed immediately, a little embarrassed, but she still followed his strength and snuggled into his arms. Gradually, she got used to it a bit and wrapped her arms around his waist.
By the bonfire, Shaoyin and the others had already talked about the welcome dinner, and they heard that it would be very lively, so everyone was interested and signed up enthusiastically. Singing, dancing, talking cross talk.
Another person reported the name of the dish: "There are steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose..."
"Get lost!" The people who hadn't eaten or drank in the last days kicked him.
The man staggered with his hands on his buttocks, and kept saying: "Boiled salted duck, sauced chicken and bacon, pine flower belly, dried meat sausage..."
There were bursts of laughter, so lively.
After midnight, the crowd dispersed. There were supernatural beings on duty on the roof of the car. It was warm and quiet by the campfire, and everyone snuggled up to sleep.
Nothing happened overnight.
After dawn, everyone woke up, shared some food, and then set out on the road.
Shaoyin is the leader and the one with the strongest abilities. He leads the car and opens the way for everyone.
The vehicles at the Starfire Base are loaded with precious equipment and are driving in the middle.
Shaoyin drives a car by herself, leisurely and at ease. But after a short break at noon, Zhou Jingyu came over when he set off again: "Boss, I can drive, shall I drive for you?"
"Okay." Shaoyin happily stepped aside from the driver's seat.
Next, Zhou Jingyu drove, Shaoyin sat in the co-pilot, opened the car window, and frequently showed off his skills—killing zombies and obtaining crystal cores in one package, and the cars behind him heard exclamations and cheers frequently.
Qin Xuancheng also saw it, on the one hand she was a little speechless because of her love to show off, but on the other hand she couldn't deny that she was really good at winning people's hearts.
Originally, she was a woman, so it was easy for people to let their guard down. However, at the same time, it is easy to be underestimated. Her advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious. However, she showed this hand, and the disadvantages were immediately made up for. She is a beautiful, powerful, and approachable leader. Female survivors are more likely to follow her, as are males.
Qin Xuancheng dared to say that if they encountered a new group of scattered survivors, more than 80% of them would choose to join the dynasty base.
Two days later, the convoy arrived at the base.
Shaoyin's vehicle was at the front and drove to the gate of the base, but still no one opened the door.
Frowning, she curled her lips playfully.
"Why don't you open the door?"
"What are you doing?"
"We have brought so many supplies, is this how you treat heroes?"
In the convoy behind, Chang Hua and others poked their heads out and shouted loudly.
The door still does not open.
"Boss?" The new driver, Comrade Xiao Zhou, looked at Shaoyin with a little worry on his face.
Shaoyin said casually, "If the base hasn't been taken by others, then it's your second-in-command Brother Liu who did it."
She guessed right.
Anyone with a little brain guessed that Liu Shi did it.
At this moment, on the sentry tower not far away, Liu Shi looked at the door with a binoculars.
Liu Shi was very unconvinced when he was driven to the second-in-command's chair! Seeing that Shaoyin had the audacity to let go of everything and go out with a new team to collect supplies, he was so arrogant and arrogant, so he unceremoniously set up camp immediately.
"Woman, no!"
"Our old man, how can we let a woman ride on his head?"
"I was careless before!"
"I will never let her be arrogant again this time!"
In this way, he mobilized the remaining supernatural beings in the base.
These supernatural beings were members of the last batch of search teams, and they were not familiar with Shaoyin, nor had they seen her make a move, so they didn't know her abilities. Therefore, after being mobilized by Liu Shi, he chose to stand by his side.
But at this moment, they all had a bit of embarrassment on their faces.
Vehicles arrived at the gate of the base one after another. The long convoy, including two vans, made them shake their minds—
So many supplies! The new leader is also too powerful, right? !
