Chapter 1676 Shock! Mob
There was a lot of discussion on the construction site of the buffer city.
Most of the areas were suppressed by the guards of the Civil Armed Forces Department, but there were also some construction sites where protests were particularly loud.
"The wall-climbing zombies may appear at any time. Damn it, they still let us stay on the construction site. Oil City doesn't take our lives seriously at all!"
"Yeah, the senior executives of Oil City stay inside safely, but we have to take risks to work outside! It's unfair! I protest."
"Stop making trouble. Don't you see those guards? With them, even if the wall-climbing zombies come, they will go first!"
"Bullshit! You flatterer, what did they give you? You speak for them. They have guns in their hands, what do we have in our hands? Do we rely on bricks to kill the wall-climbing zombies?"
More and more people were swept away by emotions.
Wu Xing, the captain of the 15th Brigade of the Civil Armed Forces Department in the distance, picked up the intercom to contact Liu Zhengming, the captain of the 20th Brigade.
"Old Liu, why don't you go and deal with it? You have more experience."
"Okay, I'll go." Liu Zhengming looked at the workers who were making trouble at the construction site with a slightly cold look in his eyes.
The supervisors on the construction site tried to maintain order.
Zhang Shi waved his hands and shouted:
"Everyone, be quiet, stop arguing, stop arguing!"
But before he could finish his words, a brick hit his head from behind.
Plop!
Zhang Shi fell to the ground, blood flowing from his head.
But he got up immediately, "Who? Who did it?"
He looked back, but there were a bunch of people behind him, so he couldn't tell who did it.
At this moment, Liu Zhengming walked over.
He saw the blood on Zhang Shi's head, and the blood was slowly flowing from his head to his face.
Seeing this scene, Liu Zhengming was gloomy and scary.
He was a support staff member transferred from the headquarters base a year ago, and he saw the trading market from scratch, little by little.
He also climbed up from the bottom step by step to the position of the leader of the militia.
So he knows the survivors at the bottom very well, because he was once one of them.
"Who did it?!"
Liu Zhengming's eyes burst into anger, "Say it again, whoever did it, take the initiative to stand up, and I can spare your life if you stand up now!"
The workers in front took a few steps back, lowered their heads, and no one was willing to admit it.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Liu Zhengming loaded his gun and laughed angrily.
"I gave you a chance but it was useless. Now there is no chance."
Then he looked at the group of people in front and shouted:
"Surround these people for me, since no one wants to say who did it? Then lock them all up!"
The members of the militia behind him quickly surrounded the dozens of people in front.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed at them.
"No, it has nothing to do with us, he did it!" An old man pointed at a man on his right and shouted.
"Yes, it was him, I saw it."
"It was him, it has nothing to do with us."
Instantly, everyone pointed their spearheads at a young man.
"You." The young man looked at the old man next to him.
"Didn't you ask me to throw it?"
The old man was frightened when he heard this.
"I didn't, don't slander me!"
"It was you!"
"Pull them out!" Liu Zhengming shouted.
Four members of the Civil Armed Forces Department walked over and pulled them out.
The young man wanted to resist, but he was hit on the head by the members of the Civil Armed Forces Department with the gun head, and his head was bleeding, so he became honest.
Press the two to the ground and kneel.
The young man felt fear at this time, "No, no, no, it's not the boss, the leader, I, I, I also listened to the instigation of this old man Liu, so I did this."
"You are slandering me, I didn't say anything." The old man said angrily.
Bang!
Puff!
Liu Zhengming shot the young man in the head, and blood splashed all over the old man's face.
The old man's whole body was shaking like a sieve, and the skin on his face was shaking like waves.
He trembled with his hands and kowtowed to Liu Zhengming.
"You are about to die, but you still don't tell the truth! It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I have a lot of ways!" Liu Zhengming shouted angrily.
Under Liu Zhengming's roar, the old man finally confessed.
"I, I, I, I just mentioned it, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously. Please, spare me, I still have a grandson"
Bang!
Gunshot!
Old man, die.
The workers who were originally in a state of anger suddenly calmed down.
Killing two people in a row.
Blood splattered all over the ground.
Mob.
When a group of mobs gather together, the IQ of the group will drop to an extremely low level.
They will be swept away by emotions and immersed in a certain kind of excitement.
To break this emotion, the most effective way is to kill.
Let them see blood, let them see living people die in front of them.
Let them know that the end of resistance is to become a corpse.
In this way, they will calm down quickly.
Fear of death is the survival instinct of human beings.
They calmed down at this time, and suddenly felt scared for the protest just now.
Liu Zhengming looked at the workers with a threatening and deep look, and his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate their hearts.
"Take out the number plates of these two people, report them to the trading market management office, and track down their immediate relatives! Thorough investigation!"
He did not finish the rest of the words.
In troubled times, the punishment is severe.
The families of this old man and young boy are unlikely to escape death.
They dared to attack the management staff, which was the most unacceptable to them.
Fighting in the trading market will result in death, let alone attacking the supervisor.
Although Zhang Shi is only a construction site supervisor, only a fourth-level personnel, he is also a management staff on the construction site.
But the workers dared to attack the management staff, there is nothing to say, they must be killed.
Their families may not have done anything wrong. Before the end of the world, everyone was responsible for their own actions, so they just killed the person.
But this is the end of the world. Who knows if you will hold a grudge against your relatives and cause unrest at that time.
In order to avoid this kind of trouble, just kill them all.
In the end of the world, interests are more important than moral standards and human hearts.
"Yes." Several members of the militia department walked over and dragged the two bodies away.
They didn't think it was strange. If it was a few years ago, the city lord would deal with this matter.
It is estimated that if these two people were not killed, none of these people would survive.
It is better to kill by mistake than to let one go.
Killing people is the fastest way to calm people down and restore order.
Liu Zhengming looked at the group of people and said in a grim tone:
"Everyone who participated in this riot will be deducted 10 points. This is an announcement, not a discussion with you."
Ten points, which is equivalent to the points of these workers working hard for 20 days!
This is more painful than killing them.
But no one dared to protest because of the previous experience.
The two pools of blood on the ground are still there.
No one dared to resist.
Liu Zhengming raised his head suddenly and looked at the other workers around him.
He shouted loudly: "If you want to quit the construction, you can quit now."
"Those who can do it can do it. If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who can do it!"
After saying this, he turned and left.
The remaining members of the Civil Armed Forces Department stayed here, registered the names and number plates of these workers who made trouble one by one, and deducted 10 points from them.
The reason why Liu Zhengming dared to do this was that he received Lao Luo's call in advance.
Let him act vigorously and control the reaction on the construction site.
If necessary, some people can be killed to maintain order.
After Ju Tianrui made the broadcast, although many workers on the construction site raised objections.
But they did not dare to stop their work and resist openly like they did just now.
For many workers, it is not easy to participate in construction projects.
So they cherish it and dare not make trouble.
Like this group of people just now, it is just an exception.
But exceptions will be targeted. Under Liu Zhengming's thundering means, after killing two people, the place also returned to peace.
Not far from this construction site, some workers saw this scene with their own eyes.
"Haha, I said, don't mess around."
"Yeah, it's hard to get a job. It's already this time. Where else can you go to work if you don't work on the construction site? I'm so bored!"
They all know what it means that the zombies climbing the wall can come out during the day.
It means that once they leave the trading market,
first, there is no safe environment, and second, there is no stable source of income.
Staying in the trading market is the safest.
Moreover, they should be grateful that the trading market is willing to continue construction.
If the buffer city wall is not built, they will not be able to get points and use them to buy food.
In the trading market, points are equivalent to money before the end of the world.
Before the end of the world, it was okay if you had no money. At most, you could pick up garbage to eat. If you really couldn't, you could rob or steal.
If you were caught, you would be in jail at most. The jail would provide food, so you wouldn't starve to death.
But now if you rob or steal in the trading market,
once you are caught, you will die.
The construction of the buffer city wall is equivalent to giving them a way to survive.
There are many workers who understand this, so they know very well that even if there are no guards, they have to work here.
If they don't do it, they will die, but if they do it, they may survive.
Therefore, the workers on the buffer city construction site quickly returned to normal order.
Of course, there are many workers on the buffer city construction site, and with a large base, there are always some people who can't think straight.
They proposed to withdraw from the construction and return to the trading market.
The supervisors did not retain them, nor did they deduct their points.
After letting them go, they registered their number plates.
A label of never hiring again was put on it.
This means that these workers who temporarily quit the construction will no longer be hired in all construction, transportation and other tasks in the future trading market.
In the future, if this kind of people want to survive in the trading market, they will only have one way to go, that is, exchange.
Run out to find the scarce materials released by the trading market, and take these materials to the trading market to exchange points.
In addition to this road, they have no other way to go.
Without points in the trading market, they can't survive at all.
The twists and turns on the construction site are just a small episode, which will soon pass.
Oil City.
Lao Luo called Ding Meng and others to deploy emergency plans one by one.
"Regarding the issue of personnel withdrawal, you have to notify the black hand and Zheng Shiwu in the northwest."
"In addition, there are madmen stationed in the South Paradise. Let the madmen return to the trading market as soon as possible."
"Yes." Ding Meng nodded and replied.
"Also, the sentry towers around Oil City should also be notified so that they should not open the iron fences during the day."
"Over there at the mine, strengthen the defense."
As emergency orders were issued one after another, departments such as the Operations Department, Civil Arms Department, Communications Department, Internal Affairs Department, etc. in the Oil City and Trading Market began to mobilize.
Each department coordinates the division of labor and cooperates.
Advance together.
At this moment, the Oil City is operating from top to bottom like a huge machine. These people are like the gears on the machine, supporting the operation of the trading market and the Oil City.
An hour later.
The exploration team led by Chen Delong successfully returned to Oil City.
And reported to Sanshu, Lao Luo and others in person.
"Minister, look, this is the video we captured." Chen Delong handed the camera to his third uncle.
The third uncle took it and looked at the video in the camera.
Then he handed it to Lao Luo.
"You mean, it suddenly appeared?" Third Uncle asked with a faint look in his eyes.
"Yes, when we found out, those wall-climbing zombies were right behind us. If we hadn't turned on the ultraviolet lights in advance, we would have been there."
"Well, I understand, let's go down."
Chen Delong nodded, turned around and left the third uncle's office with An Sheng and others.
After watching the video, Lao Luo said seriously:
"Minister, now that this matter is settled, I have put in place an emergency plan to minimize the impact of wall-climbing zombies."
"Um."
The third uncle nodded and said:
"I hope so. I'll give it a try from the headquarters base and ask when the ultraviolet lamps from the factory will be delivered."
"Lao Huang came over to me just now and told me that the inventory of ultraviolet lamps was running low."
"So fast? Wasn't there more than 2,000 units before?" Lao Luo asked in surprise.
Zhong Chuchu next to her explained:
"They're all sold out. After Director Ju's broadcast, the traffic in store No. 12 skyrocketed. Many people went there to buy ultraviolet lamps."
"Okay."
Lao Luo suddenly said again:
"Minister, there is one more thing. The black hands we sent to the northwest have been unable to contact Zheng Shiwu, and they are too far away from us. It will take a long time to return."
"Do you want us to send a helicopter to pick them up after they leave the Northwest Territory?"
If Lao Luo didn't mention them, the third uncle would almost forget these two people.
After all, it had been too long, and Lao Luo had always been responsible for contacting the two of them.
Black Hand and Zheng Shiwu must come back because they took a large number of photos of the northwest and various recorded materials.
With these materials in hand, you can have a more detailed and in-depth understanding of the Northwest.
The key is that there are wall-climbing zombies coming out during the day, so it won't be easy for the two of them to come back.
The third uncle thought for a moment and said:
"Okay, let's go to West City to pick them up then."
"Get them to retreat as soon as possible. When can we contact them?"
Lao Luo replied: "We can't contact them. In order to save power, they have turned off their radio stations. We can only wait for them to contact us."
"But I asked the Communications Department to answer the call at any time. Once I contact them, I will tell them to retreat."
"Okay." Third uncle stood up and stretched.
"Go on, everyone, I'll go to the trading market."
It's not good to stay in Oil City all the time. Besides, he is in a high position and has not gone down to the grassroots. He certainly doesn't know much about the grassroots.
Therefore, almost every few days, the third uncle would simply dress up and take Lao Qin to the trading market.
As for the safety issue, it is not a problem at all with the third uncle's skills and disguise skills.
Send someone to protect him? That was simply an insult to his status as the King of Soldiers.
Who is protecting whom, we don’t know yet!
