The seventy-eighth chapter step by step for the camp (4)
It is unknown how long time has passed, and the fainted young man slowly woke up from his coma driven by his instinctive thirst desire. At this moment, what appeared before him was pitch black, and only the stars in the sky were so bright and dazzling. In the era before the war, the Milky Way, which was harmed by the light of the city, turned into an old legend, was like a milky white river magnificently lying in the dark night sky. However, such beautiful starry sky scenery did not intoxicate young people. No matter how magnificent the scenery, most people would get used to it as long as they saw it. Moreover, he was so thirsty that he just wanted to drink water, instead of sighing at the stars he could see every night.
"Boy, you're awake."
At this time, a man's voice came from the darkness next to him. He had already recalled the scene before fainting, and the young man's face suddenly turned pale. Needless to ask, it must have fallen into the hands of those people. When the young man who had a premonition that he was about to be in trouble, he stared at the corner where the sound came with caution and asked:
"Who are you?"
The extreme thirst caused by dehydration made the young man's voice sound so hoarse and low, as if he was rubbing a steel file against a broken gong, so that even he himself felt that the sound was extremely strange and strange. However, he could no longer consider the hoarseness of the voice. The young man looked at the figure approaching him in the darkness in horror and nervousness, and his already uneasy heart couldn't help but be filled with endless fear.
"Hey, I said, boy, you're too rude! Before asking someone's name, you should remember to introduce yourself first, right?"
With a crisp "click" sound in the dark, the young man was immediately scared and trembled. As the retro fuel lighter was ignited by the flint, the orange flames suddenly rose high, and the flashing flames vaguely illuminated the young man's slightly pale cheeks, and the man opposite him was a unique Volkswagen face.
Looking at the face of the man who was so close to him, the young man couldn't help but take a step back, and then he remembered to answer:
"My name is Miao Jingtian."
After hearing the sound, Wu Han, who had been pretending to be cool for a long time, burst out laughing loudly, then waved his hand gently and said:
"Hahahaha, it seems you're thirsty. Come on, drink a glass of water to moisten your throat."
The strong thirst felt really hard. At this moment, the physiological needs overwhelmed Miao Jingtian's suspicion and fear of the unknown person in front of him. He quickly took the kettle handed over by Wu Han, raised his head and poured the whole kettle into his stomach. During this process, he didn't even get water drops on his lips. Seeing this, Wu Han smiled calmly and continued:
"Come on, tell me! Where is your hometown?"
Looking up and down at the young man who escaped the clutches of the slave hunting team of Torrent Company, Wu Han's squinting eyes flashed with an unpredictable light, thinking about what benefits this card could bring to Peach Blossom Land. Recently, Torrent Company began to plunder the population and enrich the labor resources of the concentration camp. The scattered small groups of survivors almost disappeared, and the power of Torrent Company quickly expanded. I heard that the mining protection team in the north had also taken similar measures, but it was slightly gentler in the implementation measures and treatment. As one went up and down, the Peach Blossom Land, which was originally on the weak side, seemed increasingly fragile.
Whether it is the mine protection team or the Torrent Company, they are all tough characters like wolves and tigers. Once they think they can swallow up the weakest neighbors without paying too much, the doomsday of Peach Blossom Land will come.
Since Wu Han led the survivors of the Peach Blossom Land to survive in the cracks between the two powerful neighbors in the north and south, he had to think about the problem according to the specific requirements of this position, and for the time being, he would be the biggest idiot in the world. As the saying goes, the butt determines the head, and interests determines the position. Even if a saint who is flawless at the moral level cannot start from a pure public heart when planning major events and sticks to personal moral likes and dislikes, don't ask, that is the greatest incompetence and dereliction of duty.
Holding the cup in his hand, Miao Jingtian felt uneasy. His eyes swept around, looking thrilling. He had just experienced a thrilling pursuit battle, and the soreness after being exhausted has not subsided yet. The guy in front of him looked mysterious and I don’t know where he came from. Could it be the scam deliberately set by those pursuers?
Miao Jingtian, who was born with a big mouth, had an indescribable fear of Wu Han again. In his opinion, he must have fallen into the hands of those guys who specialize in captivating people. This seemingly honest public face was not necessarily a good person, maybe he was sent to make a cliché. If it weren't for the muscle aches caused by the intense exercise that had not subsided for a long time, Miao Jingtian's legs were so sore that they could not lift them up at all. He really wanted to escape from these demonic hands that eat people and don't spit bones right now.
With all kinds of speculations, Miao Jingtian hesitated for a while before whispering:
"I am from Jiangnan... from Wanzhou Province."
At this time, Wu Han clapped his hands, and two strong men with great spirits came to Miao Jingtian. They both looked like they were eyeing each other. Regardless of Miao Jingtian's blue face, Wu Han said with a smile:
"Hahaha, since you are here, don't rush to leave. I believe you will soon find that we are not the same as you think."
After saying that, Wu Han gestured to the two strong men, and then they stepped forward, one left and one right, and set up Miao Jingtian, who was unable to escape, and directly took him away.
This wild and disorderly era after the war was a special period of difficult livelihoods for people, and it could not tolerate too much kindness, and of course it was not as easy to talk about as so-called humanitarianism.
In such an era, although Hongliu Company and Daqingshan Mining Protection Team have two powerful leaders, Meng Shenji and Wang Chao, they are still subject to constraints from the organization, and their personal authority is not as good as a matter of words. On the contrary, it is the seemingly democratic Peach Blossom Land, and all the power of life and death is in the hands of Wu Han alone. All key decisions are actually his personal considerations. Even if the head of an important department is replaced, as soon as Wu Han speaks, the parties involved will have to step down immediately, and even the voices of opposition cannot be heard. Logically speaking, such high-pressure rule should have caused dissatisfaction, but Wu Han's skillfulness and acts without any leakage, even causing the survivors to feel a strong sense of happiness. All these things are really ridiculous.
Miao Jingtian was just a small pawn, but since he was panicked and rushed into the control area of Taohuayuan during his escape, and was discovered by the patrol team. This triggered a long confrontation between the Taohuayuan Patrol team and the slave capturing team of Hongliu Company. Although the crisis of firefighting has been successfully resolved, how to deal with Miao Jingtian is still a headache.
"You guys are careful with this guy. Don't let him slip away before returning to Peach Blossom Land. For the time being, food and daily necessities are provided according to the living standards of ordinary people."
After much consideration, Wu Han decided to keep Miao Jingtian, at least as a promotional material to introduce the many atrocities of Hongliu Company to the survivors of Peach Blossom Spring, his existence value is still quite good. So Wu Han ordered the few people in charge of Miao Jingtian to take good care of him along the way, and not make any mistakes in the middle.
There are many things that Wu Han needs to worry about now. After dealing with this unexpected incident caused by Miao Jingtian, the hunting team that rushed to the west and adjacent to Hongliu Company not long ago began to turn around and return home. Hongliu Company and the mine protection team are busy expanding their territory and increasing their population base, one developing northward and the other consolidating southward, and their strength is increasing day by day. Only the Peach Blossom Land is a congenital deficit. Even if they are willing to imitate their two families to expand, it is destined to be futile.
After Wu Han talked with all the survivors who he thought were a little brainy, he determined the development focus of the Peach Blossom Land at this stage, putting technical equipment for improving people's livelihood and digesting aliens first. Since it is destined to be unable to surpass the two neighbors in quantity, it can only be balanced at the level of quality.
Based on the development policy of quality first, the living standards of Taohuayuan have been rising all the way, and in some aspects it is close to the average level of small and medium-sized cities in the pre-war period. No one dares to assert that the final result of this strategy is, and it can only be determined by time.
I don’t know whether it was out of the humanitarian spirit, or whether it was worried that humans would use it to deal with themselves after obtaining advanced weapons, or other possible reasons and reasons. In short, those aliens with mysterious whereabouts removed all items of destructive weapons from the catalog for sale early in the morning. Of course, cold weapons such as kitchen knives and axes are not included for the time being. However, even if the options of weapons and equipment are lacking, the remaining types of goods are still dazzling in this all-encompassing catalog, which can be said to be the essence of human scientific and technological civilization in the pre-war era.
The various novel and high-tech products listed by aliens are only fresh plays that survivors have never heard of or seen before, and they are not aware of them. There is no negative example of the product in the catalog. Of course, there are only weapons and equipment exceptions. After soliciting collective opinions from the survivors of Peach Blossom Land, Wu Han specially listed the options for entertainment facilities in the procurement list. In this way, many entertainment facilities including a powerful theater system that can be watched at the same time by 3,000 viewers and KTV self-service sing system have returned to the daily lives of survivors after a long time away.
