Compared to others, Amy is Gao Bin's wife and has a transcendent status. Although she has no specific responsibility for the work, if she wants to do something, no one will stop her.
She has been responsible for household registration and room management before, but this job is really not challenging. It is easy, but it is also too boring.
Humans, once they have enough food, drink, and warm clothing, they begin to pursue spiritual freedom.
No, Amy took Beth and several other friends to form a stage drama club.
The stage is located on the first floor of the prison, with a separate performance space opened in the corner.
Amy is her own director, leading her friends to rehearse the show and perform it every weekend.
Everyone is familiar with and unfamiliar with stage plays. I believe the last time everyone watched a stage play was before the end of the world.
Gao Bin originally thought it was Amy who was bored and messing around, but he didn't expect that the scheduled program was really like that.
Soon, the prison gave birth to its first female star - Beth.
Her beauty and gentleness have attracted the crazy pursuit of all the male compatriots in the prison.
It's a pity that there are no male stars yet, otherwise it would be crazy for women to chase stars.
While the entertainment field is developing rapidly, Gao Bin has not forgotten the importance of agriculture.
Hershel is now the Minister of Agriculture. The farming team led by him has developed all the available open space within the prison, part of which is used to grow food and some to grow vegetables.
In addition, Glenn got him two horses and a cow, as well as the eggs he brought from the farm, which have been successfully hatched and have now grown to a flock of dozens of chickens.
It’s not time to eat meat yet, but soon these chickens will provide a stable source of protein for people in prison.
It's a pity that we haven't got a cow yet. If we have a cow, we can drink fresh milk.
Now if you want to drink milk, you have to rely on Glenn to buy it from outside. You can find it when you find it. The supply is very unstable and often out of stock.
But at this time, drinking milk occasionally is already a luxury. I dare not ask for milk every day. That is simply unrealistic.
In any case, life in prison is already like paradise right now. Except for a few greedy bastards, most people are very satisfied.
At present, although the town of Woodbury has collapsed, the life and death of the governor is unknown and is more or less a threat. Gao Bin does not relax his vigilance.
In order to avoid being ambushed when going out alone, Gao Bin requires that the team that goes out to search for supplies must bring enough weapons and must be accompanied by four people. This can ensure a certain combat effectiveness. Even if the situation is bad, one person can come back to report the news.
p>
In addition, Gao Bin is well aware of the potential dangers in this world and the emerging forces from all sides. He must prepare in advance.
Now there is no need to worry about weapons and ammunition. As long as the combat effectiveness and combat literacy of the personnel are improved, he will be more confident to face more powerful enemies.
Fortunately, he has experience in military training. He has commanded armies with tens of thousands of people. Isn’t it just like playing with dozens of people?
Gao Bin used the Chinese military training routine to teach these people what orders and prohibitions are, and then find ways to improve their personal combat effectiveness.
A disciplined army can exert far greater combat effectiveness than stragglers.
Gao Bin knows this better than anyone else.
It’s just the hard work of the male compatriots who joined the combat forces. They open their eyes every day and do morning exercises, run 5 kilometers around the prison perimeter, eat breakfast, and receive brainwashing education.
Physical training began at 9 a.m., and Gao Bin also built a training base in the forest outside the prison, which was equipped with various obstacle facilities, including a 400-meter cross-country obstacle, which is every soldier's nightmare.
They call it the 400 meters of death. Running this trip is more tiring than carrying a heavy weight for 5 kilometers!
After lunch, Gao Bin gave them a half-hour lunch break, followed by combat training.
Target shooting and bayonet are the two main items.
Before dinner, we continued to cross-country for 5 kilometers with heavy loads. The last person did not have dinner and had to wash the smelly socks of the whole team.
It is precisely because of this punishment that the soldiers have to run forward as hard as they can. No one wants to be the one at the end of the crane.
It's nothing to skip a meal. I really can't bear to wash my socks. The taste is so sour and refreshing.
Relying on scientific, effective and hard-working training, the combat effectiveness of Gao Bin's unit is increasing day by day.
In order to give these people enough experience, Gao Bin often took them out to sweep away every zombie nearby. They were swept away round after round. Now, there is absolutely no one to be seen within a five-kilometer radius of the prison.
Zombies exist.
These soldiers vented all the anger accumulated during training on the zombies.
And they don't know when they developed a habit, they can use it to cut their heads, but never use bullets to shoot them.
Although their marksmanship is accurate enough, saving bullets has become a bone-deep habit for everyone.
This small unit of 48 people has now taken shape.
In addition, there are also Andrea's 24-person female guard and a 20-person reserve.
It is worth mentioning that the person with the most outstanding abilities in all aspects of the reserve force is actually Carl. Yes, he is Rick's son. He can now be said to be the leader of the reserve force.
By the way, it is now two years after the apocalypse broke out, and the population in the prison has reached 387, but there is still a steady stream of people who want to enter the prison, but are turned away for various reasons.
But this group of people refused to give up and were unwilling to leave even if they were rejected. As time went by, a large gathering area was formed outside the prison. There were probably hundreds of people. They gathered in the forest outside the prison gate and spontaneously
Build a wooden house and set up a tent.
The advantage of this is that you can be indirectly protected by the military in the prison, so at least safety is not a problem.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. The food is not stable enough. Gao Bin will not give out the food he has worked so hard to get. There are so many mouths waiting for food in the prison. If the food is given out, there will be riots in the prison.
Moreover, Gao Bin knows the importance of hope. As long as these people yearn for the prison, they will work hard to live, and as long as they live, they can bring shelter to the prison.
Yes, his intentions are somewhat sinister.
Why are these people allowed to be stationed outside the prison? You want them to become a barrier to the prison. Regardless of any danger, these people stationed outside the prison are the first barrier.
What? Someone is making trouble?
Haha, that's just a blind thought. There were indeed people who started trouble at the beginning. The organizers wanted to attack the prison. They even wanted to push into the iron cage and break into the prison to steal food.
The result? Gao Bin directly asked people to energize the iron cage. As soon as their hands came into contact with the iron cage, they were smoked by the electricity before they could use force.
That's not all. Gao Bin also asked people outside to report on their own, and those who successfully reported could be allowed to enter the prison.
As a result, the leaders were exposed, and Gao Bin was executed in front of everyone for endangering public safety.
Gao Bin's decisiveness and ruthlessness deeply shocked everyone inside and outside the prison.
He really dares to kill without mercy.
Of course, no one dared to dissent, because the people he killed were all well-known and would not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
The eyes of the masses are sharp, and they see everything Gao Bin does.
If nothing else, at least the people in the prison recognized him, and no one was dissatisfied with him.
Because of this incident, people living in prison developed a sense of superiority.
They feel that they are superior to people outside the prison, so they often go to the barbed wire fence with warm milk and bread to show off their wealth to people outside.
It's not that Gao Bin didn't know about this. He knew it and saw it with his own eyes from the watchtower, but he didn't stop it.
Class disparity is always the best way to stimulate the poor. Only in this way can the poor work hard, and only in this way can the value of living in prison be reflected.
If this were not the case, everyone would just live outside, and there would be no difference anyway.
Not only did he not stop it, he also deliberately let people promote it outside the prison.
For example, there are luxurious and warm rooms and large beds in the prison, as well as a clean and bright canteen with more than a dozen dishes to choose from every day.
As long as you don't waste it, you can eat as much as you want.
The most important thing is that there are supermarkets, cinemas and even stage performances in the prison. How is this different from the previous world?
By the way, speaking of cinemas and stage performances, this is interesting.
The movie projection equipment was collected by Glenn from a movie theater, not one set, not two sets, but five sets.
Not only that, but he also brought back an entire film library with over a thousand movies.
Originally, the cinema was located next to the supermarket, so Gao Bin had someone build a special floor as a cinema.
But Glenn was very business-savvy, and he thought of a way.
One day a week, he took a projectionist and equipment to a piece of land outside the prison for open-air broadcasting.
This can be regarded as giving people outside prison a little power to pursue happiness.
Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to watch a movie, please exchange materials for movie tickets, a box of milk, a piece of meat, a box of biscuits, or even a brand new set of clothes.
Glenn also designed a price trading system for this purpose. For example, a box of milk can be exchanged for one movie ticket, and a pound of meat can be exchanged for two movie tickets.
Gao Bin didn't take it seriously at first. He didn't think those who couldn't afford to eat were willing to waste precious materials watching movies.
But the facts slapped him in the face. The trading system designed by Glenn really worked.
It turns out that people’s pursuit of the spiritual world has reached such an extent that they would rather drink less than a carton of milk and watch a movie to relieve their boredom.
In this case, can this system be used to a greater extent?
Therefore, Gao Bin held several high-level meetings in a row, with the purpose of making this trading system play a greater role.
People not only pursue the spiritual world, but also have high requirements for hygiene.
Therefore, Gao Bin had someone connect a water pipe to the outside and built a public bathhouse outside the prison.
Similarly, for a box of milk and a ticket, if anyone can get a cow, Gao Bin will let him take a bath until he dies.
People outside the prison searched desperately for supplies in order to watch a movie or take a hot bath.
In this way, Glenn's pressure to go out to purchase goods was greatly reduced, because there were hundreds of people continuously providing supplies, and there was no need for him to take people out to work.
Aren't you happy living a shameless life with Maggie in a small room?
Gao Bin was even happier because he saw the growth of capitalism.
Yes, he thinks it's time to develop real estate.
As a pilot, Gao Bin had people build five wooden houses outside the prison in the area closest to the iron cages. Each wooden house has four rooms, a living room, and a bathroom. Unfortunately, there is no water or electricity.
This house is only for rent, not for sale. To rent a room, you need to pay 20 kilograms of meat or other materials of equivalent value to the prison every month. Anything is fine, and anyone who comes will be welcome.
Five wooden houses with 20 rooms were sold out almost as soon as they were launched.
It seems that no matter what the world or the environment, there is no shortage of rich people.
There was a big cow who got a pig from somewhere. Although it only weighed less than 300 kilograms, it was enough for him to rent for a year.
In recognition of his efforts, Gao Bin signed a two-year lease contract for him with a wave of his hand.
In other words, he does not need to pay any supplies to the prison in the next two years.
Gao Bin's real estate plan starts here. What? Can't afford to rent a deluxe single room?
It doesn't matter, Gao Bin also thoughtfully prepared a multi-person room. You only need to rent a bed, and the price is much cheaper.
I have to say that Gao Bin is really calculating to the last detail and will not let go of any benefit.
Some people can build their own houses, it just takes a little effort, but this situation is definitely not allowed.
Gao Bin did not force it, but anyone who built his own house would not have the right to enjoy the benefits provided by the prison.
For example, they are not qualified to buy bathing tickets, movie tickets, and enjoy the leftovers given out in prison every day.
In short, Gao Bin has plenty of ways to deal with those who undermine his interests.
After another year of development, the name of the "Perfect City" was fully established. More and more people gathered in the forest and surrounded the prison like a moat, guarding the safety of the prison.
Of course, Gao Bin never relaxes his vigilance. Now a guard of up to 300 people patrols the periphery of the forest 24 hours a day to maintain security.
Yes, he has included the safety of people outside the prison into the security and defense system.
It is precisely because he can provide such a sense of security that people are willing to support him.
Today, the population living in the "Perfect City" has reached more than 2,800 people, and has formed its own small society.
And Gao Bin is also affectionately called the ‘mayor’!
His mayor is much more majestic than the previous governor. There are only a few people in the small town of Woodbury, not as many as Andrea's Women's Guard.
As for Gao Bin's main reserve force, including the Women's Guard, there are more than 500 people in total, and their weapons and equipment are all top-notch.
The most important thing is that his army has become more systematic and organized.
Except for the reserves and the Women's Guard, the remaining people were divided into three companies, each with 120 people.
Buy a company and divide it into three platoons, each with four squads. It is completely the organizational structure of a regular army.
In order to give these people a greater sense of belonging and team honor, Gao Bin also had military uniforms made, including regular uniforms and combat uniforms, all in the style of Chinese military uniforms.
When these soldiers wearing olive green uniforms appear, everyone will feel at ease, both inside and outside the prison.
In order to ensure his dominance, Gao Bin also established a security department.
It sounds cheap, but it is the most secret work.
The first head of the Security Department was Daryl. He used his hunting talent to track intelligence and dig out spies, and he did a pretty good job.
It was precisely because of Daryl that Gao Bin heard about the Salvation Army for the first time in this world.
When he first heard about the existence of the Salvation Army, Gao Bin's heart trembled. This gang of murderous guys is even harder to deal with than the Governor.
But after listening to the detailed report, he suddenly felt less nervous.
This Negan is not that scary. The reason why he looks so powerful is entirely because Rick’s team in the original show was too weak, so weak that they could be killed at will.
But Gao Bin is different. If Negan comes to provoke him, he will never come back!
In Gao Bin's eyes, the Salvation Army is really nothing to worry about. It's just that there are too many people. It's not that Negan is not strong, but that having too many people is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Materials are relatively scarce in the last days. How can we support such a large team?
When a country raises an army, ten people can support one strong man, which is considered to be the limit, let alone the resources and productivity in the end of the world.
Even if we can barely survive by exploiting other groups, how long can we sustain it?
I really thought everyone was Gao Bin.
If he hadn't emptied the army's supply warehouse, if he hadn't farmed his own land to be self-sufficient, if there hadn't been so many people outside supplying him with supplies, how could he have supported an army of more than 500 people?
In the original play, even Rick was willing to surrender, and other groups were always willing to be obedient people, but the result was the opposite. Why?
To put it bluntly, I couldn’t afford it at all, so I was forced to do the opposite.
Even if Negan is suppressed, he still cannot afford to support the puppet leader, otherwise the former leader will be in trouble.
There are no resources, but there are a lot of people consuming the resources.
If you don't increase revenue and don't reduce expenditure, why don't you wait until your army runs out of resources and fight it out with internal strife?
Even the most peaceful outcome is for the group to break up and each find a way out.
How many people are there in Negan at this time? Is Negan still strong?
Negan's strength lies in the large number of people, which is a good choice of his organizational survival and development model.
But here and there, there are good times and bad times.
As for Rick and his team, the leader has faith, integrity and ability, and has all kinds of backbones. Even the old, weak, women and children can arrange the work within their ability. There is no useless person.
As a result, most of the time, I was penniless, precarious, and had one meal but no next meal.
In the whole play, life in prison and Alexander is a little more stable.
Note that it is only a little more stable. It has nothing to do with being well fed and clothed. It is just about surviving.
They can't even imagine the world and life that Gao Bin is creating now.
If it hadn't been for Gao Bin, they would probably still be fighting with the governor, and they would have been reduced to ashes.
