On the second day, Zhou Xiaoxiao and his family were ready to set off. Although they were a family, there was no old man, only him, a few wives and children. After all, the old man is the most vulnerable to being killed in the apocalypse.
After the zombie outbreak, many old people lost their lives. Later, when the world changed dramatically and the oxygen concentration on the earth rose sharply, these old people finally survived until now, but they died miserably, so Zhou Xiaoxiao also
There are no parents.
He rented a boat, took his family on board, and planned to go upstream through the Qujiang River. When he reached his destination, he changed cars and continued his journey.
When they were on the dock, many of Zhou Xiaoxiao's friends came to see him off, because many people were reluctant to leave Zhou Xiaoxiao, and they never thought that such a thing would happen.
Yang Ye said to Zhou Xiaoxiao: "I don't know how you provoked the city lord. I didn't expect that he sent you to Rongcheng. But don't worry, we will definitely find a way to get you back in the future. Anyway, it's
As a friend, I will never abandon you."
Zhou Xiaoxiao said angrily: "You have the nerve to say such things, why am I unlucky? It's not because of you. I have become your scapegoat! The city lord's intention has changed, and he is worried that we will oppose it.
His opinion, so he directly chose to suppress us. The result is that the stick did not fall on you, but on me!"
Yang Ye was also frightened for a while. He didn't expect that the city lord's idea would change at a moment's notice. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people supporting his idea and the city lord wouldn't take action against him, he would probably have been sent out by now.
"I don't know what the city lord thinks. We have always been loyal. If he wants to change his plan, he should inform us. Will we still resist? We will definitely support the results of his actions. He did it without saying a word.
The suppression has begun!" Yang Ye was also full of complaints.
Tu Xuhuai spoke at this time: "Tell me, you two, haven't you discovered what you did wrong yet? The reason why the city lord started suppressing you without saying a word is because you have been in too much limelight recently!"
When talking about this incident, Zhou Xiaoxiao was full of grievances and said: "I don't seem to have done anything to be in the limelight. This guy named Yang has done all the limelight things. How can it be my turn to be suppressed?"
Tu Xuhuai looked around. Many people were watching from a distance, waiting for him to finish speaking before they came forward to see him off. So there was no risk of being overheard, so he said: "I came from the mainland.
I learned a piece of news from Xian. When the debate started, the city lord came to your manor quietly, so he must have seen your luxurious manor on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it was huge.
, there are various furnishings inside with carved beams and paintings, which will definitely arouse his dissatisfaction."
Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "The city lord has been to my manor? But this kind of thing is not a big deal. His Fengshen Palace is larger than mine, why am I not allowed to enjoy it?
Ah? Do we only allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps?"
Tu Xuhuai said calmly: "The city lord has mastered the business of the Evolutionary Base, so he is naturally making money every day. How do you think we have accumulated the wealth? Do you think we don't know about the monopoly business you have done in private?
But I have heard about it for a long time. The money is not clean, and the city lord must know it. If he does not deal with you, it is considered a good thing. He just takes the opportunity to give you a beating! At the same time, it is also a warning to us not to disturb his plan. "
Zhou Xiaoxiao pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly and said: "Forget it, forget it, there are no such things, but I am very happy that you two can come to see me off!"
While they were talking, there was suddenly a loud noise in the distance. Everyone couldn't help but turn around and saw that many recruitment tables had suddenly been set up in the distance. It turned out that the city lord had given the order to recruit soldiers.
Although there is no talk of going out to fight yet, everyone can already smell the smoke.
Zhou Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly and said, "I won't talk to you any more now. I'm preparing to leave. If you two really have a conscience, then send me messages often."
Tu Xuhuai thought for a moment and looked at the Yangtze River in the distance.
Said: "The endless falling trees are rustling, the Yangtze River is rolling in, and autumn is coming soon. In the dilapidated Chengdu, the environment is probably not as good as it is now. It is best to bring some clothes to keep out the cold. It may be very cold in winter.
cold."
After hearing Tu Xuhuai's poem, Yang Ye couldn't help but feel a little disdainful, and thought in his heart: "Are you the only one who can recite poetry? I can do it too, and I will show you my skills now."
So, Yang Ye also started to say farewell words, "What Tu Xuhuai said is that the word Xiao Xiao still lacks three points of water. I thought of such a poem here, I am so angry that I lean on the railing, and the rain breaks...
"
"Hurry up and shut up. Is this what you said?" Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted the other party's words. He must not let what he said today reach the ears of the city lord.
Tu Xuhuai also looked at Yang Ye and said, "Full of anger? It seems that the resentment in your heart is very deep."
Only then did Yang Ye remember that when using this poem, it also needs to be based on the context and not said casually. Just the four words "furious" already expressed the angry mood, and if this sentence fell into the ears of the city lord,
That would be really tragic. The city lord would probably think that he was dissatisfied with him... 5
After Zhou Xiaoxiao said goodbye to his colleagues, he took a boat and sailed upstream against the current. The speed was not bad. It was already midsummer, and it would be autumn in a few months. The current water flow was not bad. When taking the boat,
The speed can also catch up.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's departure frightened the employees of the City Lord's Mansion in Yuzhou. They discovered that the City Lord just wanted to do one thing, and there was really no one who could stop him.
As a result, people gave up their opposition to Shen Feng's acceptance of the Dian Province. If they continued to oppose the city lord's actions, they might be the unlucky ones next.
But this matter is not over yet, because Shen Feng immediately announced other news. He is going to take a group of experienced employees from the City Lord's Mansion to the south. As for what to do, it is not convenient to disclose at the moment, but experienced people will be given priority.
, and most people cannot refuse.
Xu Xing signed up first. After he gave up killing bandits, he had nothing to do all day long and didn't know what to do. Now that she heard there was an opportunity to go to the south, she immediately chose to join.
It's just that many employees who have been in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time began to complain. They squeezed their heads to enter the City Lord's Mansion. As a result, the City Lord now decided to take them to the dangerous south, most likely to where the war broke out.
In this area, wouldn’t this be the end of the world?
If complaining is useful, then many people will choose to complain, but even if these people complain, they will not reach Shen Feng's ears at all, because many people have already heard the news about Zhou Xiaoxiao going to Chengdu, and Zhou Xiaoxiao was the first to follow Shen Feng's group of people, including him, have been dealt with. As for others who want to oppose, they may end up with a worse end.
So judging from the results, Shen Feng's move of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger played its due role, and the people below did not dare to resist his order at all.
Many people among the people started to sign up very enthusiastically. The reason is also very simple. These children who have survived in the apocalypse have grown up. They have become accustomed to living in the apocalypse, but they do not want their own lives to be affected. Life remains unchanged, and if they want to change, the best way to change is to join the army or enter the city lord's mansion.
Many children have grown up a lot in these 10 years, and they have gradually formed their parents' jobs. But in the end, the children of workers can only be workers, and the children of farmers in the fields can only become farmers. As for those who have mastered the top resources, they will carefully train their children so that they can accept their own jobs in the future and become people who rely on their brains to make a living.
In fact, the ancients have already summed up the benefits of various kinds of work, which is called: those who work hard will govern others, and those who work hard will govern others.
To put it bluntly, it is a job that everyone likes to use their brains to complete, because it does not need to be covered in sweat and stinking, and in the end you will have to suffer from injuries. In the end, when you are old, you will have to suffer all the injuries and all your income will be lost. I went to the hospital and didn't like the job of sitting in an office, but this
It is not the turn of ordinary people to compete for this kind of job.
The stability of Yuzhou also means that many people have no chance to change and can only repeat the various jobs they have experienced before.
But now, the opportunity for change has been placed in front of them, so people are investing in it one after another, especially young people who want to change their destiny. They are all ready to seize this opportunity, because only by seizing this opportunity can they have any chance of success. It may completely change your destiny.
A conservative parent said to his son: "I heard that this time we are recruiting troops to go to the south to fight. The south is a plateau area. If we go there, the mountains are high, the forests are dense, and there are many insects. If you are not careful, you will be killed." If something happens, let's forget it. Anyway, we won't starve to death if we stay in Yuzhou like this. As long as I have the opportunity to find you a wife, you will be able to start a family and start a business by then."
But in response to their parents' statement, some young people replied: "I know that I won't starve to death if I stay like this, because even if I work, I can support myself and be rich, but living like this is It will come to an end, because there won't be any changes. After that, I will still do nothing and eventually die in obscurity. Nothing can change my destiny. So, even if it is an adventure this time, I must go and change my own destiny now. The opportunity is right in front of me. If I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Therefore, the young man's parents could not stop him and could only watch their sons go to the battlefield.
There were also smarter young people who immediately found books and started reading, preparing to enter the city lord's palace, because they had heard that many experienced old people would be taken away, so their opportunity came. Civil servants in Yuzhou After leaving, new personnel will definitely be recruited, and then they can join it.
Shen Feng was very surprised after hearing this. He originally thought that recruiting soldiers would be very troublesome, because many people have learned to survive in the apocalypse and try to avoid wars, let alone go to the battlefield. But now Hearing that many young people were eager to sign up, he immediately felt huge pressure. If he couldn't bring these young people back to fight with him, how would he face their parents?
"I didn't expect that so many people would rather go to the battlefield than stay at home. It seems that they are also eager to change their lives!" Shen Feng couldn't help but sigh.
And Li Keyi said: "These people are actually eager to gain power. They didn't have the opportunity to hold power before, but now the opportunity is right in front of them, and they don't want to miss it in vain."
Shen Feng also understands this truth. After all, power and resources have not flowed in the past. People with power can eat their fill, while the poor can only live with the only resources in their hands. This kind of peaceful life I can't say it's bad, but it's not much better.
"Have those other people questioned the news about aliens? If there is such a person, they must tell me as soon as possible." Shen Feng suddenly thought of something, so he quickly asked Li Keyi.
