Chapter 553: Taking Power

"Wow, this is too fierce."

Looking at the slowly closing office door in front of her, Ellie shrank her neck unconsciously, her head flashed across the face of the instructor who often scolded her in school, and she stuck out her tongue and said, "He has never been like this."

You have to know that Brian is always easy to get close to, and she has never seen him like this before.

"This is what a leader looks like."

Hearing Ellie's words, Tess put her arm on the other person's shoulders and said, "But it seems that there were quite a few conflicts among his men during the time he left."

"contradiction?"

After hearing this, Ellie asked curiously: "What kind of contradiction can there be?"

"Well…"

Tess was also taken aback by these words. She had just arrived and she didn't know what was going on. She simply held down Ellie's head and turned to Sarah's side, using a common all-purpose explanation: "Children don't get involved in adults' matters."

combine!"

"Dad, Tess, let me take you to find a place to rest first."

Holding Ellie's hand, Sarah glanced at the closed office next to her and said, "Brian seems to be busy for a while."

"okay."

Joel nodded and pinched his eyebrows a little tiredly. To be honest, as he got older, his energy was not what it used to be.

.....

And the other side.

Inside the office.

Brian slowly sat on the chair and asked straight to the point: "Amir told me about the general situation on the way here. Tell me how many survivors there are outside the camp."

"Ahem...I did some statistics when we were setting up the resettlement area."

Cagalli suddenly felt like she was back in the past. She was happy to have a backbone come to the throne, but also nervous about not managing the camp well. When she heard Brian's question, she coughed twice and answered: "The number of people who escaped from Atlanta is about 400.

Many people. Among them, more than 300 people escaped from the quarantine area, and the remaining more than 100 people were former anti-entrapment soldiers and some survivors who wandered around. Half of them were men, and the other half were women, the elderly and children."

"so many people?"

After hearing Cagalli's report, Brian frowned unconsciously and asked, "I remember that when I left, there were less than 400 people in the camp. You have accommodated so many people?"

"Those are all old almanacs."

Thinking of the situation in the camp in the first two years, Cagalli was quite proud and said: "In the three years since you left, our camp has absorbed many nearby survivors, and the number of people has doubled. It has almost doubled.

We have exceeded the 1,000-person mark, and most of them came from the south. Due to the shortage of food, we could hardly withstand the cold winter. If that incident had not happened, we might have been able to grow even stronger."

Brian didn't expect that there were so many people in the camp. He had been thinking about the outside of the camp before, but he didn't pay attention to the development of the entire camp. He thought for a while and asked: "Tell me about the current situation of the camp.

.”

Although they haven't seen each other for three years, Cagalli is still very clear about Brian's habits. As a manager, she is naturally aware of these things. After recalling them in her head, she said:

"Because the number of people has increased a lot, the camp can barely accommodate so many people, so I had plans to expand the camp last year, but I put it on hold for the time being because of this matter."

"I did a statistics not long ago. There were 438 males over 16 years old, and 163 elderly people and non-combatants such as planting and animal husbandry. Currently, the number of wounded in the hospital is 49, 12 seriously injured and slightly injured.

37 people.”

"The number of women over 16 years old is 329, and the number of non-combatants is 217. The number of wounded currently in the hospital is 17, 2 seriously injured and 15 slightly injured."

"The rest are all children under the age of 16, 117 of them. They are all currently in school. They have teachers to teach them and others to teach them how to use firearms."

After saying so much in one breath, Cagalli smacked her dry lips and continued:

"As for the food stored in the camp, it is enough to last for three to four months. If you add in some of the vegetables that are about to mature in the field, as well as chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep, it should be able to last for a long time. But this is just fishing in the marsh.

, if it is not absolutely necessary, I suggest harvesting in stages.”

As she spoke, she snorted coldly again in her nasal cavity and said: If we didn't provide food to those survivors, our food reserves would last longer."

"Let's not mention this matter for now."

After waving his hand to stop Cagalli from continuing, Brian had a basic understanding of the camp and asked, "What about firearms and weapons?"

"Basically, each person is equipped with at least one pistol. Half of the combatants carry rifles and shotguns. Very few use sniper rifles. The rest basically use pistols with bows and arrows."

Cagalli blurted out without thinking, and replied: "We have the equipment to make bullets, and we have ordered a lot of materials from Atlanta before. We are not short of ammunition, but we have experienced many battles in these years, and the price of firearms has changed."

The rate is also increasing. Although we have gone to the black market in Atlanta to purchase, it is only a small part. Especially after the war broke out there, we have no way to obtain firearms. Now we only repair some broken firearms as much as possible.

"

“…..”

After hearing Cagalli's answer, Brian didn't ask anything. He leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed, and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, spreading the word in the quiet office.

"Da da da…"

The sound of fingers touching each other made everyone sitting there feel extremely depressed. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

"I heard your argument at the door just now."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a long time, Brian opened his eyes again and slowly said: "Why do you think things are like this?"

Hearing this, Allen was the first to express his opinion: "This matter was handled too hastily. Since we have decided to unilaterally provide materials to women and children, we should separate these two groups in advance so that each other does not know the situation."

, maybe this matter won’t happen.”

"Yes, and also wrong."

Brian directly retorted: "Men can go out hunting. Even if the two parties are separated, they can only hide it for a while. What should happen will happen sooner or later."

"If you ask me, I shouldn't take them in."

Cagalli was about to express her previous thoughts and said: "Just let them fend for themselves. Staying here is a waste of food."

"What you are doing is directly pushing these people to the enemy and causing unnecessary trouble for yourself."

Brian glared at the other person and said: "If a person is extremely hungry, he can do any crazy things!"

Seeing that no one else spoke, Brian sighed softly and said: "Whether it is taking in these survivors or giving food, although the method is somewhat inappropriate, the direction did not mention the problem, but your problem is

Attitude!”

Having said this, he stood up from his seat and said word for word: "You are not vigilant enough, let alone ruthless enough!"

"If you are vigilant enough and always pay attention to the situation in the resettlement camp, their every move will not escape your eyes, and you can quickly extinguish the flames before they even start to rise."

"If you are ruthless enough and kill a few restless guys in the early stages of the turmoil in the resettlement camp to make them fear you or even fear you, it is also impossible for such a thing to happen."

"But you have reservations about this, and you don't want to sacrifice. You are hesitant, and it's a woman's kindness. This will only make the situation worse.
