Chapter 31: 31st

People who are accustomed to bullying by force often fail in the face of more powerful force.
Shen Shi'an held the stick with one hand, not even looking fierce, but the group who was clamoring for a moment to grab his backpack and divide things was like a mouse who saw the light. You push me, I push you, there is no Dare to step forward
No one wants to try it. What would it feel like if the stick that pierced hundreds of zombie skulls?
In the silence of the room, Shen Shi'an's clear voice sounded coldly. "I want to get more supplies. There are three floors upstairs that have not been cleaned up. As long as you join the cleanup operation and distribute according to work, it should be your share." I will give you less. If you do n’t have the courage to face the zombies, and you want to sit down without paying for it, then wait to starve to death. "
"Mr. Shen is right." Zhang Ze, who had not spoken, suddenly took a few steps forward, as if he had never planned to stay out of the ordinary, standing next to Shen Shi'an with the strongest backing posture, and the eyes staring through the lens were sharp. And is it "cold" is it too easy to live in a safe area, so many people have forgotten a basic fact that every piece of material you have collected was collected by participants at the risk of their lives. No The dedication of the participants, you have already starved to death. Among them, Mr. Shen especially contributed, and instead of being grateful, you have to steal his private income. What is the difference between this behavior and the bandit bandit is not only shameless, but absolutely unforgivable. "
He looked around coldly for a week, and looked at the left-behind no longer the gentleness and politeness of the past, and seemed to be looking at some kind of inferior lower creatures. "Today, all troublemakers cancel the right to allocate materials, do you have any opinions?"
Shen Shi'an looked at his easy-going leader gesture and suddenly understood.
The crowd distributed materials according to work. Among them, the left-behind did not participate in the zombie clean-up operation, but they could obtain a small amount of food through the post-sweep cleaning work. This method was proposed by Zhang Ze.
There are three reasons.
First, to shape his credibility among survivors with a grand reason: "to fight for all to live together";
Second, split the survivors into two camps, the leftovers and the participants, and select members among the participants to gradually develop a group led by themselves.
Third, nourish the cowardice and inertness of the left-behind. It is so dangerous to confront the zombies directly, even if it is just a cut made by the opponent's nails, the ending is undoubtedly dead. If you only need to hide in a safe area, you can get supplies after cleaning and sanitation afterwards, so why not do it? Although there is a little less, but it is better to sustain life than to die in the hand of a zombie and become a monster. Much more
And inertia and greed are often inseparable. The less these people get each time, the deeper they become jealous of those who have enough supplies, and even spawns "My work is dirty and tired, and I don't have less labor than him. Why should he get something?" Just more than me "wait and paralyze yourself.
Such jealousy and greed are deliberately leading the next step to accumulate and focus on Shen Shi'an. As long as the firewood is slowly ignited, sooner or later, the day will erupt. And Zhang Ze is waiting for such an opportunity
He expected that Shen Shi'an would not sit still, and he also expected that the leftovers did not have the courage to fight Shen Shi'an. The left-behind was greedy and annoying, and Zhang Shi, who played at the right time, by Shen Shi'an's deterrence, received immediate results no matter how they dealt with them, making the participants trust him more and not triggering a rebound from the remaining left-overs.
In this way, in the eyes of the participants, he is a defender of interests, in the eyes of the stayers, he is a destiny decider, the position of the leader is unshakable, and Shen Shian is the best help to help him establish this position.
Of course, if Shen Shi'an lost or even got hurt in this farce, then it would be a happy event for Zhang Ze to have one less powerful rival to compete for leadership.
In any case, he can achieve his purpose.
There are actually very few people with a leadership personality. When most people encounter a disaster, they will subconsciously look for the backbone to be led by others. This can help them overcome the panic and quickly calm down. And Zhang Ze is undoubtedly a typical leader-type personality. No matter the level of understanding of human nature or the ability to control other people's thinking, they are extremely outstanding.
When did he start counting all of this when he first entered the library or realized that everyone was just the abandoned son of the rescue team will be left here forever
Shen Shi'an lowered his eyes and rubbed his thumb on the stabstick so disgustingly.
After allocating the materials, the richest man in the seedlings found Shen Shi'an. "Brother Shen, I would like to take the liberty to ask you, do you have any way to improve your combat ability quickly? I feel my combat effectiveness is still too weak. I will give everyone a hindrance when cleaning up. "He recorded a record of two zombies today, but in fact, only half of them were really solved by his own ability, the other half was attributed to Shen Shi'an's foot, and one was purely a blind cat running into a dead mouse. Someone knocked down one of the bookshelves and just picked it up.
Shen Xun was going to eat Zhang Ze in one bite. Shen Shi'an was coaxing the child and he swept at him when he heard the words. "Are you determined or will you rise up"
The richest man in Miao
"I have the method, but it certainly won't be easy. If you are determined to improve yourself, then I can tell you, but if it is only on the whim," Shen Shian frowned. "Don't waste each other's time."
Miao Shoufu was stunned, and then laughed. "Brother Shen, don't look at me and look at the rich state. The whole body is full of big money, but I'm from a poor family. I have been living for several generations. You can plan and eat in the land. To be able to fight for such a large industry in H City, it is not idle and waiting for the sky to fall. To say that relying on the old and selling the old, I have had the hardships that you ca n’t think of. What is there? The method also invites Brother Shen to give me advice. If I make a long and tired cry, the three richest characters in Miao will write upside down. "
Shen Shi'an stared at him for a while, then looked up and called Li Cheng, "Do you have time this afternoon?"
"Yes." I just cleared the floor and finished the supplies, and there was so much time in the afternoon.
Shen Shian took out half a bag of brown sugar from his backpack, which he just assigned, and then took out a half bag of salt from the space. He said to Miao Shoufu, "The biggest problem you have now is that you exercise too little, even the most basic level of physical fitness. If you ca n’t reach it, the easiest way to combat zombies is to run, run a lap along the first floor, run up the stairs to the fifth floor, run a lap along the fifth floor, and finally run to the next floor. This is a round. . Every ten minutes refill a glass of salt water and a glass of sugar water, if you can run a hundred rounds in three hours, "said the pause," I remember you got a packet of instant noodles "
"Well," the richest man in Miao nodded proudly.
"If you can run a hundred rounds in three hours, I will sponsor you two braised eggs and a grilled sausage in the evening to give you a good meal."
Then do n’t look at the other person ’s happy expression as if they were about to cry. Instead, give the brown sugar and edible salt to Li Cheng.
Trouble you to supervise him. After three hours, I will pay two halogen eggs. Sausage as a reward. "I thought about it and said," If you want to exercise with him, pay attention to sugar and salt. "
Miao Shoufu returned from his excitement. "Hey, wait a minute, Brother Shen, it's already a great help for you to formulate an exercise method. Where else can you give me supplies, no?"
Li Cheng also waved his hands again and again, saying that he could not be asked for something.
"Zhang Ze is right," Shen Shian looked at the two. "Cleaning the zombies relies on the strength of the group. The higher your physical fitness, the more secure you will be for me. Take your time, don't push it back. Pushed away. "
They stared at each other, then focused on "We won't let you down."
Before the two ran the stairs, Shen Shi'an quietly grabbed Li Cheng. "If Mr. Miao can't hold on and wants to give up, you tell him that only by becoming strong can he survive, and only by living can he earn more than a dozen houses."
Li Cheng didn't know why, but still nodded, "Hey, I know."
The library floor is much higher than ordinary buildings. Running up and down a hundred times in a row is not an easy task, especially when everyone around you looks at you like a fool.
However, to the surprise of Shen Shi'an, Li Cheng and the richest man in Miao insisted. They were sweating and panting like cows, and their clothes were so wet that they could twist out the water. When the last step was taken out, they immediately fell to the first floor. It takes effort to move even your finger.
Shen Shi'an took four bento boxes that were "accidentally" found from the staff room, each of which was filled with a piece of pasta, two braised eggs, and a sausage, sprinkled with seasoning packets, and picked it up from the water boiler on the fifth floor. The four-bowl boiling water boiler is unplugged after the zombies have been cleaned up. The water inside is still hot. According to the current generally accepted distribution rules, only participants can enjoy it.
Then put the four bento boxes on a wooden board, stood up and walked to the first floor with Shen Xun, and kicked on the legs of the two who were soft and muddy.
The chopsticks were found in the drawer of the staff room. It is estimated that the staff often order takeaways, and a lot of idle disposable chopsticks have accumulated. Li Cheng and his limbs were so weak that they couldn't even chopsticks, or Shen Shi'an separated and stuffed them.
The lid of the bento box was lifted, and steaming steam mixed with the aroma of instant noodles and sausage. Miao Shoufu's hand with chopsticks shook, his eyes seemed red, but he couldn't see clearly through a layer of water mist. After a long time, like Li Cheng, he took the bowl and took a sip of it with cherishment.
Then I can't control the speed.
In less than two minutes, Miao Shoufu put down the bento box without dripping noodle soup and leaned on the chair with a long sigh. "This is really the best bowl of noodles I have ever had."
After speaking, I saw Shen Xun's reaction to the other side. "Sorry, sorry, forgetting that there are children. Children, is swearing, children can't say, don't learn from your uncle."
Shen Shian ""
"But Brother Shen," said the richest man in Miao again, "the child in your family is kind of fierce. The left-behind people started to make troubles in the morning, and the small eyes, alas, were like eating people."
Shen Xun snorted. If it wasn't for An An, those people would have entered his stomach.
I glanced at the two bento boxes opposite each other. If it weren't for the sake of speaking to An An, you dare to eat my braised eggs and grilled sausages.
Li Cheng immediately lowered the empty bento box, and his body recovered strength. His dark complexion showed a little red, facing Shen Shi'an Road. "Thank you Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry to let you spend it." This is For almost half a month, his first meal was warm.
The richest man in Miao is also serious. "Brother Shen, you have saved me three times," once he pulled him from the zombies into the library, once gave him a packet of biscuits, and now gives him a living Method and hope Even if he wanted to take another bite of this steaming instant noodle and grilled sausage, he couldn't just die in the library like that. "Everyone said that Da En didn't say thanks, so I didn't come here, Da En Dade, Miao will keep in mind."
Shen Shi'an stared at the child and finished eating the eggs, then looked at the two of them. "Two halogen eggs can't save your life. If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself. Do you have any sugar and salt left? Exercises will continue tomorrow. "
Miao Shoufu's eyes brightened "Tomorrow I can eat instant noodles and grilled sausage"
Li Cheng couldn't help but slap a slap on his shoulder with a grin. "What do you think, Miao, wake up quickly."
After eating, Shen Shi'an took the child into the bathroom and wiped the bath, and then went into the compartment to put on clean underwear. Although Shen Shi'an was still intolerable, the environment could only do so. To the point.
Back in the reading room, you can see Zhang Ze standing next to the tatami where they sleep. Shen Shi'an comforted the child who was fierce and rushed to bite someone at an instant, and walked over at speed.
Zhang Ze smiled mildly. "There is indeed something I want to discuss with Mr. Shen."
"Say."
"There are eight floors in the library," Zhang Ze didn't seem to mind his attitude at all, and whispered softly. "It will be cleared after seeing it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to collect materials afterwards. I and other participants After a discussion, I decided to go to the restaurant to try my luck. I wonder if Mr. Shen is interested?
This is what he and his group have been planning mysteriously recently.
Shen Shi'an refused, "No."
The library has a restaurant, which is called a restaurant. In fact, it is more accurately called a cafe. It is located in the center of the garden in a cylindrical glass wall. It is connected to the first floor hall by three arched wooden bridges. Dessert drinks and light meals in the museum.
Many accompanying people like to borrow books and go to the restaurant for discussion and communication, not only because the library and reading areas need to be quiet and unable to speak, but also because of the unique beauty that can be seen in the restaurant
The design of the city library is very unique. It pays attention to the integration of human and nature, so it surrounds such a large glass wall for planting grass and flowers. Not only are the three pathways to the restaurant built into the shape of a wooden arch bridge full of flowers on both sides. The restaurant itself is a huge wooden house. Various vine plants are climbing on the roof and walls. As a whole, if you don't look closely, you really can't tell the difference.
There must be a lot of supplies in the restaurant, no doubt about that. But whether this batch of materials can be successfully obtained is not necessarily.
Since Shen Shi'an and others entered the library, no survivors other than them have been found. You should know that the library in city H is different from other places. Because it has millions of books and contains various professional books of various types, the flow of people is extremely high on both weekdays and weekends, and it is impossible for everyone. It ’s true that they are infected with the virus, and the number of zombies they encountered when they cleared the floor was not right.
When people were contacted to enter the library, the three doors of the wooden bridge entrance from the lobby on the first floor to the restaurant had been properly locked from the inside. Then the most likely situation is that all survivors in the library Are hiding in the restaurant with the most abundant food resources. If you change to Shen Shi'an, it is estimated that you will choose this way.
So there is only one question. Are those survivors hiding in the restaurant still alive today?
Layers of green vines hang on the roof of the restaurant. Like a waterfall, all windows are blocked. Only through the gaps can people occasionally see a figure walking back and forth. As for whether the figure is dead or alive, it is completely uncertain.
On the other hand, if the people in the restaurant are still alive, why haven't you seen anyone out for so long? Even if you are afraid of a dispute with the survivors because of food, the sound is so loud when the helicopter flies over that day, Didn't anyone figure it out?
Compared to "the survivors in the restaurant are still alive", another guess is more convincing. Maybe they are mixed with virus-infected people who have not yet mutated. Maybe there are many zombies hidden in the restaurant anyway. The survivors who are trying to take refuge have probably encountered unexpected events.
If it was a week ago, Shen Shi'an might consider it. However, it has been determined that zombies will evolve, and the evolved zombies still have a sense of Lingquan. He will not risk going in as a target anyway.
Zhang Ze was not surprised by his answer, and nodded with a smile. "Okay, I see. Good night Mr. Shen."
Shen Shi'an looked at his back and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. After what happened in the morning, Zhang Ze should know better than anyone that he neither trusts him nor agrees to enter the restaurant with him. What is the purpose of running this trip in vain?
It wasn't like asking him to go, it seemed like he had come over to make sure he wouldn't go.
Annoying such people. Shen Shi'an rubbed his child's head with irritability and wanted Shen Xun to die.
Shen Shi'an did not go to the restaurant, Li Cheng decided to join the cleanup team this time. "Mr. Zhang said, there must be a lot of supplies in the restaurant. I want to try my luck in."
Shen Shi'an persuaded twice that he could only remind him to be careful.
"Mr. Shen rest assured that there are a lot of people going this time, and some of the left-overs have also joined," Li Cheng laughed. "Also, I am not inexperienced, and the zombies that have been solved are almost thirty." There are many gains here, and he can share them with Mr. Shen.
As for Miao's richest man, like Shen Shi'an, he was indifferent to Zhang Ze's proposal. Talk to Shen Shi'an privately "Someone like Zhang Ze, it belongs to the kind of business I'm most unwilling to deal with. The twists and turns in my stomach can make five turns around the solar system. The surface is grinning, and you are stabbed in the back, typical. Buddha's mouth heart. "
However, regardless of whether he and Shen Shi'an will go, three days later, on April 17, the teams that decided to participate in the restaurant cleanup operation gathered as scheduled.
Shen Shi'an felt a little uneasy in his heart, and when he found that Yuanlian was also in the process of cleaning up the team, this uneasiness became more and more intense. Too late to think carefully and hand in your thorn stick to Li Cheng "Use this, remember, be careful, if you find something wrong, run back immediately, I will answer you."
Li Cheng grinned out two rows of white teeth and focused on "um"
At nine o'clock in the morning, three glass doors leading to the wooden bridge were forcibly unlocked, and the cleaning team divided into three groups and went in.
Ten minutes later, the crowd disappeared under the cover of Luzhi Waterfall.
Things seemed to be much smoother than Shen Shi'an imagined, because after less than two hours, the cleaning team returned to the first floor lobby along the wooden bridge, and everyone returned with a full load.
No one was injured and only one member in the team rounded his face.
In the cheers of the left-behind, most of the members were proud of their heads, but a small number of people turned pale. When they returned to the hall, they rushed to the bathroom with their mouths covered, including Li Cheng.
It took Shen Shi'an and Miao Shoufu for nearly an hour to piece together the truth of the entire cleanup operation from his mouth.
The cleaning team divided into three groups and reached the three entrances of the restaurant. One of the members of the group suddenly united, pressing the other member of the group round to the ground and tied with a rope, then cut a hole in his leg, and shoved his lower body through the entrance gap.
"Meal, the door of the restaurant is locked with an iron chain," Li Cheng leaned on the cubicle in the bathroom, his face was lost due to long-term vomiting, and his fingertips could not help but tremble violently. The gap in the middle can just fit a person's lower body in, but the upper body is stuck outside. Inside is full of zombies, smelling blood, and surrounding them all. "
The round face becomes a living flesh target, leading all the zombies in the restaurant to an entrance. There are few critical positions in the lower body, and even if bitten by a zombie, it will not die for a while. However, due to physical evolution, today's survivors will be infected with the virus, at least one or two hours before they completely lose consciousness.
Li Cheng's face was full of tears. "Shen Brother, Miao Brother, I was right across from them. I saw them all. He wanted to climb out, but other people blocked him. Those zombies, those zombies dragged his legs and bones. I came out "
Shen Shian's eyes were light and condensed "Why didn't he hear his scream"
"One of the team members blocked his mouth with clothes"
"I stepped on the Malegobi," Miao Shoufu couldn't help but yelled at, and his face started to turn pale just listening to Li Cheng's description, and he was holding his chest with some physical discomfort. "This is too nasty" A living person
Only one person can think of such a strategy.
Shen Shi'an took a deep breath. Zhang Ze stepped into a camp, and he was deliberately trying to split the participants and the left-overs, and hostile to each other. This turned out to have such a role.
I have to admit that he chose this bait very cleverly. If you want all survivors to vote for each other, choose the person with the worst character and the least seen, and try to close the door in advance for the sake of selfishness, regardless of the life and death of the later, and then repeatedly take the lead in rounding the face. Absolutely among the best, even Shen Shi'an didn't like him at all.
Those who are in the same group as Yuanlian Fang are obviously the confidants carefully selected by Zhang Ze to execute the plan. They are most likely those who were almost shut out by Yuanlian. They were almost alive because of Yuanfang. When bitten to death, the original grievances, coupled with Zhang Ze's step-by-step guidance, such a person with a round face is just a self-serving waste for most participants. It has no effect other than wasting food. Why not use him as a bait to not only dispel hatred but also make the most of it?
Even if the participants of the other groups saw it, one side was a round face that would be killed by a zombie bite, and the other was a clear road leading to a lot of supplies. Which one to choose?
And the left-behind people don't even need to think about it anymore. They were cut out by Zhang Ze and have deliberately nurtured the weak and inert people. Even if they knew that the materials were exchanged for life with round faces, a few people would care
Zhang Ze's ultimate goal is to build a small, hierarchical society headed by him in the library. The restaurant cleanup operation is probably only the first step.
Shen Shi'an was right. This batch of materials shipped from the restaurant, Zhang Ze was not assigned to the left-overs at all, but moved to the eighth floor of the library, which is also the base camp of him and his fans today.
There is only one way for left-behind people to obtain supplies and to serve the participants who have the supplies. Carrying your back, pinching your legs, washing your clothes, including all the services that the other party accepts, are all right. If you want to live, you can only live this way.
The first to follow the new rules was the couple Huang, who wanted to steal snacks from the vending machine. With the first and second demonstrations, it seemed easier to obey the new rules.
The remaining few are unwilling to sell their dignity. Even if they want to resist stubborn resistance, they may not be able to persist for a long time. All the materials in the library have been searched and cleaned. There are still many in the restaurant, but they are full of zombies. The strength of a small group of people is impossible to rush in. If you want to get food, what can you do besides begging for mercy?
Shen Shi'an even had to admire Zhang Ze. In less than half a month, he completely shattered the civilized order familiar to the survivors, transitioned to another society without hindrance, and continued with the new order of rules. run.
And just 14 days before the global virus outbreak, how many people in the world like H City Library and how many people are there like Zhang Ze
On April 18, 2019, on the thirteenth night when everyone entered the library, the illuminated table lamp suddenly went out, and the backup power system was exhausted.
After more than two hours, Shen Shi'an opened her eyes, feeling the fading heat in the lower abdomen and the huge energy filling her body. She whispered to Shen Xun, "It's time to leave." An error occurred, please refresh and try again
