Chapter 277 Open the door
Chapter 277 Open the door
"We have 35 people in total, seven in the eighth group, which means that the remaining seven groups will need four people each to undertake the daily collection work." The old principal comforted everyone, "In fact, the supplies in our villa can last for a few more days, so everyone has some spare time."
Yuan Xin said solemnly: "We have very little arable land on Anping Island. We rely heavily on shipping on weekdays. In the long run, the supplies for a few days are minimal. Not only do we have to go out to search, but we also have to think about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure."
Everyone was silent. Going out in groups requires courage. The zombies attack the survivors at night, but no one is willing to gamble their lives on the chance of these monsters hurting people.
"I want to go to the bathroom." Xiao Qin felt bored and turned away from the sofa.
Qin's father gave Qin's mother a look. In the current environment, children symbolize hope, so the residents are particularly tolerant of little Qin. As a result, the couple have a high status and are qualified to speak at the meeting.
Mother Qin got up to take care of the children. Father Qin said, "Since Miss has decided to divide the groups, then of course I absolutely support it. Today is Monday, why don't we start from today? Our family of three and Brother Han will be the first group, and tomorrow will be the second group's turn."
Yuan Xin opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head and remained silent.
The wall came down, and the Anping Sailing Group existed in name only. At first, my father could still rely on his past prestige to serve as the leader, but as the impact of the drastic changes spread, the residents realized that strong labor, food and guns were the most important things.
Compared with the shopping mall owner and the head of the underground black market, my father's only advantage is that he is an employee of the group, but employees are just workers and have no obligation to risk their lives for the chairman. After the upheaval began, his prestige was fading every minute.
Yuan Xin didn’t know how long the funeral committee would exist, but as long as she worked as the villa manager for one day, she could provide considerable support to her father. Grouping was her first "policy", and its importance was self-evident.
"Although Uncle Qin was being clever, he was the first to respond to the leader. If we reject him, can the divisions still be implemented? Besides, he mentioned Uncle Han. Could it be that the two of them colluded with each other? The only people who knew about the divisions in advance were me, Uncle Han, and the old principal."
Yuan Xin was filled with thoughts. Han Daoba was her greatest reliance in managing the villa, which made her hesitant for a moment.
The warmest place is next to the fireplace.
Han Daoba frowned slightly, he felt that something was fishy, but being assigned to the first group meant that he would have to go out to search for seven days. It was already dark today, so there was no need to go out again.
"Forget it. If the barrier is lifted after seven days, I will be completely free from the danger of going out again and again."
Under the temptation of a bye day, Han Daoba kept silent and acquiesced to Qin's father's arrangement. Besides, the eldest lady had no objection, so it was even more difficult for him to express his opinion. This grouping was particularly important for prestige.
Seeing that the villa manager and the gunman leader both chose to acquiesce, the residents who originally thought it was unfair fell silent one after another, but were secretly resentful. Order had collapsed. On the first day of the upheaval, Han Daoba had really killed several people. He was obviously the beneficiary of the group. Opposing at this time would likely make him angry and humiliated. Whoever dared to stand up would face the threat of bullets.
Only the old principal showed dissatisfaction on his face, "How can this be..."
Qin's father interrupted, his tone pleading, "Old principal, Qin Qin is still young, he can't bring anything back even if he goes out, but since we live with everyone, we have the obligation to fulfill our responsibilities."
After hearing this, the old principal collapsed and stopped talking. He couldn't ask a child to go out and face danger.
Yuan Xin completely gave up the idea of making corrections. Even Qin Qin was in the group, so how could others have the face to shirk and hesitate.
"so be it."
"Hey, isn't this equivalent to starting from the second group? It's all the same. I think Qinqin is a happy kid."
"We gentlemen must, of course, lead by example."
Everyone seemed to come alive suddenly, and seeing that the matter was settled, they all started talking.
Jiang He watched the whole process. For a child to be used to this extent by Qin's father, it can be regarded as the maximization of resources. The people present had different thoughts. Without the power and strength under the framework of order, the survival conditions of dark and intelligent people were relatively outstanding. If we add elements such as goals, responsibilities, beliefs, justice, etc., then it is not absolutely impossible for them to become leaders.
"The world's talented people are like a river..."
"Then let's start with the newcomers in the second group." Father Qin suggested, and gave a reason, "The brother and sister are both from other places, so they have to make some contributions and set an example. Xiao He is familiar with the surroundings, so let them be the second group."
Jiang He erased his previous thoughts bit by bit, and a hint of hostility appeared in the corners of his eyes. He had forgotten why he had a problem with this guy, but the other party's malice at this moment was extremely obvious.
Yuan Xin hesitated to speak. The hesitation brought about by youth largely came from uncertainty about the outcome.
The old principal said, "Xiao He is also a child, only seventeen years old this year. Bring some strong men over, and I will lead you out."...
A fireside meeting was going on.
"Qinqin, come back here!"
"You can't catch up with me."
Xiao Qin was jumping up and down outside the living room, and his mother had no choice but to chase after him.
Suddenly, a face appeared on the window glass at the door.
"Qinqin, it's grandma. It's so cold outside. Can you open the door for grandma?"
Xiao Qin stopped and stared at the window in a daze.
Qin's mother stood there in a daze, looking extremely horrified. The old woman outside the door was indeed Qin Qin's grandmother, but she had met with an accident on the day the sudden change happened.
"Qinqin, don't move." Qin's mother tried to lower her voice and tiptoed closer.
"Qinqin, grandma is so cold."
"Qinqin, cover your ears and come to me."
The guardian stone glowed dimly.
Seeing that Qin Qin didn't move, Qin's mother gradually calmed down.
Click!
"Grandma, come in quickly."
Qin Qin reached out and opened the window lock. There were no nails on it, so it was very easy to open. According to what Qin's father and mother said, he didn't know that the person in front of him was a zombie. "Grandma went to a very far place," and now she came back and was locked outside the door. It was reasonable.
Mother Qin's hands and feet were cold, and she slumped to the ground.
The moment the door and window glass opened, more than a dozen long tongues rolled Qin Qin away, and seven or eight zombies scrambled to get in through the window glass, all of them with pale and ferocious faces, ready to devour anyone.
"what!"
The screams almost pierced my eardrums.
The door of the villa fell down, and the zombies wandering around the entire villa area seemed to have found their prey and gathered together.
The nearest zombies broke into the villa. Qin's mother sacrificed herself and used her flesh and blood to buy time for the people who were meeting in the living room, and used loud screams to warn them.
……
In the living room, the fire in the fireplace burned peacefully and quietly.
"Go away."
Yuan Xin stood there in a daze.
Jiang He had extraordinary hearing. Long before the scream was heard, he had already stood up wrapped in a quilt, carried the old principal on one hand, and went up to the second floor.
Passing by the porch, several zombies were feasting. There was only blood and broken bones and flesh on the ground. On the third night after the upheaval, the first villa fell.
