Elder Joseph was a staunch defender of the refuge, and his passionate speech reunited his soldiers. But when the scene calmed down, he felt worried.
"The enemy is more cunning than we imagined. The people they exchanged are all former social elites, but many ordinary people did not want to leave."
"I think they have a very strong purpose. They are not gangsters roaming around at will, but more like some kind of government organization. But they are very different from the Brotherhood of Steel before, so people can't figure out their specific purpose."
"But I think we should stick to the bottom line and not be easily affected by the other party's strange behavior. As long as we ensure that the shelter is in our hands, everything will not be too bad."
In the private discussion of the Presbyterian Church, Elder Joseph firmly stated that he would fight for the benefits of the refuge as much as possible, and then he led more than 500 people to the temporary camp of the armed convoy.
Yes, there were indeed more than five hundred people. This number far exceeded Elder Joseph's expectations, and even made him very angry. He originally planned to bring only one or two hundred people, but many people actually appeared in the shelter and asked to leave.
The Elder can comfort the soldiers in the shelter, but the soldiers are not the lowest and most miserable class in the shelter. Among the more than 4,000 people in the shelter, there are also a large number of low-value people who are considered to be unable to do much work. The lives of these people are just
A little better than the abandoned waste group.
News that another force was willing to recruit people spread in the shelter. Many people who felt that they had no future in the shelter wanted to try it. Elder Joseph felt that it would be a good thing to save some food consumption, so he brought this
A huge team ran out.
"If the other party really swallows so many people, it will also speed up its material consumption. Just eating will make the managers unbearable." The elder thought so.
After testing during the day, this large-scale human trade was carried out at night. Under the darkness, people could not see the whole surroundings. Only the crackling torches illuminated the road. Everyone walked slowly.
Many weak people were exhausted after walking two kilometers. When they first arrived outside the temporary camp, everyone's eyes widened with confusion on their faces - when did such a modern place appear near the shelter?
?
Elder Joseph was also a little confused. He only saw this temporary camp brightly lit last night. Who would have thought that just one day later, this place would be transformed into a small community. Just the clean roads and lights brought a huge impact.
The visual impact surprised everyone who came.
"How did you do it?" Elder Joseph pointed to the high-power lights hanging around the camp and asked the butcher who came to conduct the transaction. "Where do you get the power supply? Where do you get the fuel?"
It has been almost a year since the end of the world, and all the fuel that can be collected has long been used up. Due to the lack of fuel, heating in the shelter is a problem, the diesel generator has stopped working long ago, and the lighting system is in a state of abandonment.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for people in the shelter to take a bath. Everyone can only carefully burn some wood stoves to keep warm, and also worry about ventilation issues.
"We have a small Gutuo generator that burns firewood to generate electricity." The butcher only said something vague. He would not tell others that he could take a bath at will, use electricity at will, and drive around in a car at will because the legion commander led him.
It has a 'nuclear fusion battery' with a power of 1,500 kilowatts that continuously generates electricity.
This battery is a big killer. It ensures the energy supply of the team and gives everyone the ability to move around.
However, Elder Joseph was so envious that he wanted to cry when he heard that other people actually had pot camel generators. In order to generate electricity, a motor-converter was modified in their shelter, and people could ride sports bikes to charge the batteries.
But even if the cyclists are exhausted, there is only a small amount of power supply, which can only meet the needs of external communications and a small number of electronic equipment, and a large number of other power equipment are all in a shutdown state.
"The Guotou generator is such an ancient thing!" Elder Joseph sighed. The Guotou generator is indeed ancient. It was a broken thing more than a hundred years ago, but it is very practical! It doesn't care about fuel, is simple to operate and easy to maintain, and is very useful.
Great stuff.
Last night I was surprised to see how bright this camp was. Now that I heard that it uses a pot machine to generate electricity, Elder Joseph immediately thought about getting one. Anyway, it is better to use wood than to burn oil. He just
He asked tentatively: "Your pot camel machine..., are you selling it?"
When I asked these words, the elder had already prepared the words of rejection in his heart. Although the pot camel machine is not a high-tech thing, it is absolutely impossible to make without some mechanical processing capabilities. If this thing is in the shelter, it will be better.
Proper military and national weapons are not easily shown to others.
"Hahaha... Do you want it? No problem, as long as you allow us to stay in your shelter for a while, we will give you one." The butcher said cheerfully, very generously.
asshole……!
The elder almost nodded in agreement, but fortunately his consciousness was clear and firm. He thought to himself: These guys of unknown origin are really determined to kill me, and they are racking their brains to get into our shelter. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Promised.
Humph... Elder Joseph seemed to have seen through the other party's trick again, and arrogantly said with a nasal voice: "Let's talk about the 'people-for-drugs' thing."
The butcher was not bothered by this disguised rejection. With a wave of his hand, the camp guards let more than 500 people in one after another, and then screened them one by one. Those who were useful were kept and those who were useless were sent away.
If all of them were to stay, the exchanged personnel might really worry that they would be eaten as food. But this obvious difference in treatment made joining the temporary camp a precious opportunity.
On the contrary, those who were eliminated were extremely depressed, wailing and asking to join. And those who were selected to stay were all happy, although they did not understand why they were left.
For those who make trouble and want to enter the camp, the action team does not hesitate to drive them out. Elder Joseph feels very uncomfortable about this. In his opinion, the shelter is the best, safest and happiest living area in the world. Only he
I drove others out coldly and ruthlessly, but I didn't expect that there were still people crying and shouting to leave and join another organization.
How abominable!
During this large-scale human trafficking, the action team took in more than 300 people, some of whom were even elderly people and frail women. These people were often people who joined the shelter early. Elder Joseph was out to maintain order.
and fairness, did not drive them out.
But these people are often unable to do much and have become a heavy burden in the shelter. If this group of people asked to leave in the past, the elder would be relieved. But now seeing these people being taken in seriously, it can even be
Speaking of protecting, he felt inexplicably weird.
Elder Joseph saw with his own eyes that several of the people who were traded received preferential treatment immediately after their identities were confirmed. Specialized doctors came out to check their bodies, and they were even immediately assigned servants to take care of them to change clothes and clean their bodies.
Preferential treatment often makes those who suffer burst into tears of gratitude.
Similarly, the people who were grateful even included Elder Joseph himself. A young Asian man actually ran out of the camp, took the initiative to hold his hand, and said very seriously: "Elder Joseph, I just learned about your refuge.
It houses several academicians of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
I sincerely thank you for everything you have done to protect these famous scientific researchers, which will play a huge role in the continuation of scientific civilization in the future. You just mentioned that you want a pot camel machine, no problem, I decided to give you one."
Elder Joseph looked strange.
Guo Tuoji is exchanging academicians. No matter how you look at this transaction, it is a huge loss!
