Chapter 576 This Must Be a Conspiracy
In the last days, the Granite Refuge belongs to a small society with strong strength and strong cohesion, which started to store materials early and established a management system. There are experienced veterans and social elites in the elders of the shelter. They have already predicted the situation they will face, and they pay special attention to the medical reserve.
There is not no medicine in the shelter, and the number and level of doctors are quite high. However, as the external environment continues to deteriorate, the elders will classify the personnel in the shelter. The precious and scarce supplies are only used by high-level people, and the bottom-level personnel can only stand aside.
For example, Patty, who was traded out before, is a woman in her forties. She is not strong enough, and she can't fight. The skill she has mastered is air dispatching at the airport. And the sky is not visible in the underground shelter, what a ghostly air dispatch! This kind of useless person is naturally listed as the lowest level, and it is difficult to even have enough food.
In the last days following the law of the jungle, what is most needed are powerful fighters, farmers who produce food, and high-level doctors. These people with survival skills will be given priority to survive, and everyone else will stand aside.
After verifying the effect of norfloxacin, the doctor in the shelter strongly suggested to the elders: "Although it sounds a bit cruel, we all agree to trade all the useless people in the shelter in exchange for medicines and other scarce supplies.
There are now more than 300 patients in the shelter's hospital, many of whom are key personnel who can fight after being cured. And this is only the seriously ill, many people with mild illness can only endure the pain to work.
Norfloxacin is effective for sensitive bacterial infections of the urinary system, digestive system, and respiratory system. This medicine is very versatile and when supplemented in large quantities, our condition can be greatly improved. "
The words of the doctors were eager and even urgent. Many people in the refuge were tortured or killed by some common diseases, but they could only act in a hurry. It is the gospel of God to be able to buy medicine now.
The members of the elders were moved again. With medicine, there is a way to survive, which is very helpful to stabilize the hearts of the people in the refuge. However, Elder Joseph, who was in charge of the defense work, frowned suspiciously and said: "No matter where it is now, medicines are extremely valuable. Why would this armed convoy do this kind of transaction? I think we should be more vigilant."
With extreme vigilance but a thirst for medicine, the follow-up "personnel for medicine" transaction continued. The refuge only changes a few people at a time, and they call for some medicines that are currently in short supply, and the people they exchange are all useless people they don't need, and these people are a burden in their eyes.
However, the action team does not require everyone, and the butcher in charge of this matter will ask in detail about the people who have been pulled out to trade. He doesn't care if the person being traded is thin or weak, he only cares about the skills the other party has.
"What is your job?"
"Costume designer.
"
"Sorry, we don't need to design clothes."
"What is your job?"
"******** has always been that *** has no other abilities?"
"Yes, I'm good at pleasing men. Do you want to fuck, sir?"
"No, we don't need someone who can only sell meat."
"What is your job?"
"Professor of Mathematics. I am a professor at the University of Washington. Please have pity on me. Although I am old and can't do much work, I also eat less. I will always be needed to rebuild civilization in the future. You must use me." place."
"Oh... don't worry, we like professors, especially those in the natural sciences. We'll pay double the price for you, and you'll be treated well."
In just half a day, two or three hundred people were sold in this human transaction. Some of them who were really useless were sent back, but many senior intellectuals and professional technicians were happily accepted by the action team.
This situation was reported back by the refugee soldiers who escorted the transaction, which immediately caused a sensation in the refuge. The underground life lasted for more than half a year, and many people became depressed and depressed. Suddenly, some forces were willing to take away some seemingly useless people in a peaceful way, and this immediately became a topic of discussion.
"Will the redeemed be eaten?"
"Perhaps the gang is trying to buy a batch of slaves."
"I heard that this group of people looks fierce, not like good people."
Initial guesses always come with all sorts of biases and doubts, but things change quickly. Zhou Qingfeng was very good at impressing people with small details. He ordered that after each transaction, the soldiers in the refuge who escorted the people would be given some benefits.
A few cigarettes, a box of chocolates, and even half a bottle of white wine. These things may seem inconspicuous, but they have achieved an unimaginable sensation. It sent at least one message—the armed convoy was generous and there was no shortage of food.
"How could they not be short of food?" Elder Joseph looked at the chocolate in his hand in puzzlement, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. The Caribbean is rich in cocoa and sugar, and food factories in Havana are trying to produce chocolate from stocked raw materials. This chocolate is very sweet, so sweet that it makes people feel sick.
But this cloyingly sweet chocolate has become a necessity for replenishing calories in field battles. Even Elder Joseph himself hasn't eaten sweets for a long time. When the sweet taste diffused in the mouth, the elder himself was inexplicably moved.
Sweetness is a basic taste that symbolizes beauty in food cultures all over the world. Eating sweets can relieve stress and bring people a sense of well-being. The human brain will be extremely happy when it tastes sweet.
In the closed environment of the shelter, tobacco, alcohol and sweets are hard currency that people cannot resist. The soldiers in the refuge were very vigilant at the beginning to trade with the action team, but soon in order to get gifts, they scrambled to get out of the shelter and contact the action team. In order to get an escort, the soldiers even fought.
"That's enough, just be quiet." Elder Joseph could only suppress the chaotic situation by himself. He was extremely angry with his white hair, "This must be a conspiracy. The opponent is using this small method to destroy our internal affairs. Unity. If we are not united, the armed convoy will easily defeat us.
And you fell for it so easily, I'm ashamed of you. Sanctuary is the root of our existence and the source of our attacks. It must have been that the enemy had discovered that we could not be defeated by force, and had resorted to another method. We must not fight over this. "
The rioting soldiers calm down, remembering that they have indeed been attacked in recent months, and they also know that without shelter, they will not be able to survive. So they accepted Elder Joseph's words, and the soldiers who led the trouble even wept bitterly to express their repentance.
"Don't worry, we have seen through the opponent's conspiracy, and we can restrain the enemy in turn. Don't they want to trade with others? We will make a deal. We have already sent out more than two hundred and forty people, and then I will It was decided to send the same number of people again.
Sending out 500 people will reduce our burden by one-eighth, and we will also get medicines that are in short supply. This will greatly improve the living environment in our shelter, and we will live better and last longer. "
In the end, Elder Joseph said optimistically and firmly, "I will personally lead the team to send out the personnel, one at a time. Then we will refuse to contact each other, so that the enemy's plan will be completely defeated. They don't want to take advantage of us. .”
The short speech was very contagious, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and there were thunderous cheers. (To be continued.)
