Chapter 333: Benevolence does not hold power (Thanks to book friend [You count which kind of Huazi] alliance leader for the reward)

"Mr. Zhang, the expansion of the population is a good thing for us, but it is also a challenge. This must be taken seriously."

Inside the Little Lucky Restaurant, Yu Wen and Zhang Su sat opposite each other. An ashtray was placed on the table, and two lit cigarettes were placed in the notches on both sides, floating with light smoke.

It is said that the smaller the meeting, the bigger the things decided, and the more people in the meeting, the more nonsense is said. When Zhang Su and Yu Wen shield others and sit together, they must have very key affairs to discuss! "I can feel it!"

Zhang Su nodded and said: "In the past, when there were only twenty of us, the atmosphere in the camp was very harmonious and harmonious, just like being in your own home. It really felt like everyone was brothers and brothers, and everyone was connected. Even after Old Wang and the others from Lianyi Village came, it was still okay. After all, there were not as many people as us, and the impact was not big. But in these two days, the population suddenly increased by more than fifty. Today, when I came back, I obviously felt different. That kind of warmth of returning home was diluted."

From the difficult survival at the beginning of the disaster to now, it is no longer just for simple living. If you can't live the life you want after trying your best to build the camp, it's no different from wandering outside.

Everyone hopes to live better, and the camp atmosphere is one of the very important indicators.

"That's right, that's what I'm talking about." Yu Wen pushed his glasses and said: "Wang Longzhong, Ma Changshou, and Yang Liehuo, among these three people, I think we should focus on Ma Changshou, or rather, the people in Xidaying Village."

Zhang Su thought seriously. He knew that Yu Wen would never shoot without a target. There must be a reason for saying so, but he couldn't ask directly. After all, he was the number one leader. If he couldn't see anything, he would be criticized by his subordinates.

After a while, he said: "I know Old Wang's situation relatively clearly, and the integration of the people in Lianyi Village is also good. Yang Liehuo of Kuanzhuang is straightforward, or it can be said that he is bold and careful, the person is very upright and not bad-hearted, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law who follow him are also very safe. It's not to say that the people in Xidaying Village are full of bad water, but I think... the cohesion of Xidaying Village is still very strong, right?"

"Right!"

Yu Wen hit his palm with his hand very seriously and said: "Xidaying Village has a total of twenty-seven people. Although they came to Ma Yu, they don't look like they are integrating, but more like a group joining our camp in the form of an alliance. On the surface, they didn't say self-governance, but they are still very willing to listen to Ma Changshou internally. This is very bad!"

It is a good thing for Xidaying Village to have cohesion, but now that they have chosen to join Ma Yu, this is not a good thing for Ma Yu.

"I stood high just now and observed the crowd and found this problem. It is normal for them to have strong cohesion after experiencing the previous disaster. I will talk to Ma Changshou. Whether he has ideas and ambitions, I can see."

Zhang Su not only uses his eyes to observe, but he can also hear a lot of content that Yu Wen cannot hear. Most of the people in Xidaying Village indeed still take Ma Changshou as the backbone.

Yu Wen showed a deep smile and said: "Mr. Zhang, Ma Yu is the camp you led us to find after killing out of Qincheng. To say something selfish, even if someone's ability is stronger than yours, I don't want to see Ma Yu change its surname."

Zhang Su smacked his lips, picked up a cigarette and took a puff, and said: "Old Yu, I don't seem to have told you about the Profound Dragon Legion. Do you know why they made major mistakes and omissions in the strategy of welcoming the zombie horde?"

Yu Wen didn't understand why Zhang Su was talking about something else, but there must be a purpose in it, and shook his head to indicate he didn't know.

"Because of factional fighting."

Zhang Su exhaled a smoke ring and said: "According to Pan Guoliang and the others, within the Profound Dragon Legion, with the Commander and Deputy Commander as heads, two factions were formed. The factions pinched each other, and then it became the final appearance. So... you don't say, I won't let the management mode change at all, at least at the current stage, centralization is a better development mode!"

"I think so too."

Yu Wen fully agreed with Zhang Su's point of view, and the two then carried out a detailed plan for the development in the future.

Considering the problems of human cohesion, although the satellite village method is adopted to live to avoid large-scale zombie horde attacks, all personnel will be gathered during training, except for those on missions.

In the early stage, for the sake of development, people who were familiar with each other will be arranged to live in a satellite village. After a period of time, if there is any behavior of forming cliques, they will be scattered and allocated. The most important resources will all be controlled by core members, and they will all be stored in Ma Yu.

"There is one more thing."

After discussing the matter of reshaping cohesion, Yu Wen narrowed his eyes and said: "Mr. Zhang, if you want them to remain vigilant and have no intention of drilling holes, you must set up an external enemy. This enemy must be strong enough and not easy to solve, so that people have long-term vigilance and maintain the determination to face the outside world together."

Zhang Su spread his hands and said as a matter of course: "Is the threat of zombies not enough?"

Today's zombies are no longer the weak chickens at the beginning of the disaster. After two rounds of strengthening, zombies have improved in strength, reaction, and speed. When fighting them in defensive works, it doesn't feel obvious, but it will be very dangerous in field encounters.

Yu Wen shook his head very decisively: "This is not enough."

"It is difficult to feel the crisis of zombies in a safe camp. If you can't feel it, it is difficult to pose a threat to people's psychology. Everyone must have a practical feeling. The threat of the zombie horde should be kept in mind. In addition, I think extreme weather can also be fully utilized. Extreme climate is also an enemy of our humans."

"Well... huh?"

Zhang Su suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart and said: "Ease makes people slack, Teacher Yu, do you mean we can artificially create some difficulties, so that everyone always feels the existence and threat of external enemies?"

"Yes, this is very good." Yu Wen nodded repeatedly. The means behind it must not be bright, but for the development of the camp and the future, Zhang Su does not exclude this behavior at all. He does not think that he can convince the public by relying on benevolence! After a discussion, Zhang Su and Yu Wen walked out of the restaurant, both with happy smiles on their faces. Outsiders didn't know at all that the topic they discussed was very heavy.

Parting ways, Zhang Su learned through the walkie-talkie that Ma Changshou was guiding vegetable planting, and found him without any delay.

"Old Ma, I think you are quite capable."

In the vegetable greenhouse, Zhang Su squatted down and leaned his hand by the stove to warm up, saying nonchalantly.

Ma Changshou's eyeballs rolled around, probing: "Boss Zhang, where does this start?"

"Can you live to this day in the apocalypse with so many people in the village, isn't it capable?"

Zhang Su stood up and took out a cigarette and handed it to Ma Changshou.

Ma Changshou bent down to take the cigarette, took out a lighter and hurriedly handed a fire to Zhang Su, then lit his own, waved his hand modestly and said: "Boss Zhang is too praised, that's all my luck, there is also the component of blessing in disguise, didn't so many brothers die, sigh."

"Not bad, look at how close those fellow villagers who survived are to you, looking at you as the horse's head, being able to do this, very awesome!"

Zhang Su held the cigarette and gave a thumbs up to Ma Changshou, with a very sincere expression on his face.

However, it was this sincere expression that scared Ma Changshou so much that he didn't even dare to smoke, directly plucked off the part he had just lit, his facial flesh trembled and said: "Boss Zhang, this... I, I don't have any ulterior motives, is there any misunderstanding here?"

As a human essence, Ma Changshou immediately understood the other party's intention after hearing Zhang Su's words. This is because he was too strong in ruling the people of Xidaying Village, fearing that it would affect future management. To put it more seriously, this is fearing that he would lead people to do things! This kind of questioning is normal, but he must eliminate the other party's concerns as soon as possible. It is very bad to leave such an impression on the other party when he first arrived.

"Why are you excited after saying two sentences?" Zhang Su exhaled a smoke ring, smiling.

Ma Changshou couldn't laugh or cry, tucked the half-cut cigarette behind his ear, put his hands together and bowed repeatedly: "Boss Zhang, my wish is only to lead the villagers to live, nothing else. Walking to this step today, I can be considered to have basically completed the mission. From now on..."

Ma Changshou paused when he said this, then raised a look of relief and said: "From now on, this heavy burden will be handed over to Boss Zhang. I am just an ordinary member of Ma Yu camp. Why don't I stay here, and don't go to Madianzhuang, just stay here and be a vegetable farmer, fiddling with vegetables every day, how about it?"

The establishment of a person's prestige is by no means overnight, and wanting to lose it is not a matter of a day or two, but he must cut the mess quickly now. Even if he is a bit reluctant, he cannot hesitate.

"Old Ma, we have known each other for two months, and we can be considered old friends. What kind of person I am, you should be clear, where my bottom line is, you should also know, right?"

Zhang Su asked with a smile.

"Of course I understand, Boss Zhang, what do you think of my proposal just now?"

Having previously joined the Green Dragon Corps and played mind games, they nearly got everyone killed; when the zombie horde attacked, a group of them managed to survive. This time, Ma Changshou did not intend to play smart and was determined to cooperate fully with the other party.

"Letting you grow vegetables here is too talented. How about this..."

Zhang Su thought for a while and said: "Come here and be a technical consultant, planting vegetables, raising chickens, ducks, fish, and pigs and sheep. You must be good at these things. Guide our work, give you a good treatment separately, how about it?"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Ma Changshou bowed repeatedly. He knew clearly that guiding work is just a cover, and keeping him in Ma Yu to work is the truth. It's just that changing the statement is better to hear, but he feels this arrangement is very good.

Working hard these days, he is really tired. Now there is a good place for him to relax, which may not be a bad thing for himself and the survivors of Xidaying Village.

"Okay, that's it. I will announce it tonight. Congratulations to Consultant Ma in advance. Come, a little gift."

Zhang Su took out two packs of cigarettes from his arms and stuffed them to Ma Changshou, then left the vegetable shed.

"Phew..."

Seeing Zhang Su close the door of the vegetable shed, Ma Changshou let out a long sigh of relief, his nervous heart finally fell into his stomach. Thinking that the burden on his shoulders was unloaded, his body felt light, and he fell onto the small stool by the stove.

Took off the half cigarette tucked behind his ear, thought about it and tucked it back, opened a new pack, lit one, and puffed out the smoke with mixed feelings.
