CHAPTER 72 NEW SITUATIONS

The sky was full of dark clouds.

It just snowed a little two days ago, and it seems that the snow has not yet penetrated, and the sky is covered by clouds, neither continuing to snow nor sunny.

The weather has entered the winter season.

Iger and three companions are loading various supplies on the pickup truck, and they are preparing to leave the church to establish an outpost.

There was a plenary meeting yesterday after dinner.

At the meeting, Iger's first proposal was about the promotion of Andy, Erica, Catherine, and Clyde.

Iger proposed to vote on the four people one by one to agree whether they can be promoted to shareholders.

It can be seen from this that as the number of teams increases, the difficulty of obtaining core identities will gradually increase.Of course, it may also be that Iger is boasting, 12 people is the highest population of the Gospel team.

Andy, Erica, and Clyde were quickly passed by unanimous votes, but when it was Catherine's turn, two negative votes appeared first.

One negative vote was from Elvira and the other negative vote was from Lily.

Seeing that Elvira and Lily voted against it first, Catherine almost burst into tears.

Voting against is also very particular. This kind of preemptive voting can be said to be rhythmic, and more neutrally speaking, it is a very direct expression of one's attitude.

People in the Central Plains regard peace as the most important principle. If you do this, you will offend others.

It is rumored that Americans never hold grudges about such things, but Iger's experience tells him that it is impossible not to hold grudges.

Moreover, Elvira and Lily have some habits of treating people wrongly. Of course, in this matter, their stance is reasonable.

Subsequently, the remaining six people voted, Vance also voted against, and the other five voted in favor.According to the principle of must pass half, Catherine crossed the line.

Catherine is a young African-American girl with neither appearance nor character.

Elvira and Lily are standard Caucasian women, and they are actually on the left side.

Vance is a standard red neck, and he has prejudice against African Americans.

Catherine can let the white female left and the red neck vote against her together. Let's put it this way, to a certain extent, it reflects that she really has a problem.

Everyone has some questions.

After getting along during this time, Iger found that Catherine's problems were indeed more prominent.

It can be summed up in one sentence: No matter what she does, she is the one at the bottom.

You say her cooperation is not high, but Catherine's willingness to cooperate is still very strong.

You say she is being lazy, Catherine works very hard in everything.

After a comprehensive summary, based on Iger's many years of training experience, Catherine belongs to the kind of person with low basic ability and no training value.

She is like those scumbags who work very hard in the class. They have used their strength to feed, but they still fall behind frequently, and finally they are thrown farther and farther away by the mainstream of the class.

This is also a relatively prominent problem in the United States before.

African-Americans, especially black-skinned African-Americans (some mixed-race African-Americans cannot be seen from the outside), due to various historical and practical reasons, their educational conditions, opportunities, and abilities are relatively poor, so in Afghanistan In the United States, African Americans are still hanging around at the bottom of society so many years after they were liberated.

Then one year, a strange correctness suddenly became popular.

Of course, it can also be regarded as politicians constantly giving sweets to African Americans in order to win votes of African Americans, while ignoring the reality.

For example, in college admissions, African-American students can ignore their grades and must account for a certain proportion of freshmen.

That's how Catherine finished college inexplicably, then entered a pretty good company, and got a position as a research assistant.

After a few years of being neither good nor bad, under the joint blow of the economic downturn and the financial turmoil, a large number of companies don't care what the hell is right, anyway, I want to throw away the burden to survive.

Layoffs, layoffs, starting from marginal personnel.

Therefore, Catherine, who had just lost her love, was hit hard by unemployment again, which immediately made her loveless.

To be fair, if Iger met an employee like Catherine in his previous life, he would send a message to HR directly without saying anything, and HR would find a way to get her out.

I don't know what Andy's purpose is, maybe it's sympathy for the girl's experience, maybe it's because everyone has had a life-and-death experience, so Andy took the initiative to pull Catherine into his third search and rescue team.

After scavenging, Iger temporarily added the third search and rescue team to the wilderness action team, and caught the late autumn's tail for the final hunt. At this time, Catherine's ability defects were fully exposed.

After completing a three-day hunting event, Iger did not let Andy continue to be a good guy. The search and rescue team must be an elite member. Even if Andy is very capable, a weak partner will kill them both.

Iger ruthlessly rejected Andy's request. He kicked Catherine back to the mobile personnel of the gospel team and added Erica to the third team.

After Catherine returned to the church, she messed up a lot of things in a row. In the end, even Erica and Clyde in the "Life and Death Four" were full of opinions on her.

If everyone is in a company or enterprise now, Catherine is definitely about to face a second unemployment.

But as a doomsday survival team, it cannot only accept elite members.

Many anime and games like to create a team of extremely elite protagonists, and then slap the huge, bloated, and low-ability hostile forces.

Maybe in other situations, this kind of elite group is a good idea, but in this moment, it is a way to kill yourself.

Iger has emphasized to everyone many times that if human civilization is to continue, it must be supported by a certain population base.

Because it involves surviving and restoring production, there must be a lot of inefficient work that needs to be done by people.

Apart from other things, 24-hour sentry, cooking and washing dishes twice a day, washing clothes, cleaning toilets and raising Yuanguo, anyone who does these things is about the same efficiency, that's it.

If there are only two or three elite members, then they can only lower their living requirements, such as not watching, not cooking, not changing clothes, not shitting...No, shit still has to be pulled, so I can only lay mines at will.

In this case, it doesn't matter if the elite members of the team can fight, and it doesn't matter if they can kill a hundred infected people a day, if they can't resume production, all of this is nonsense.

Finally, there is a very serious problem, the problem of population reproduction.

Even if the elite members can live comfortably for more than ten years, or even decades, but there is no certain population base for population breeding, the destruction of the team is inevitable.Further reading: The dangers of inbreeding.

Therefore, Iger tried every means to "collect" the population. On that day, Iger firmly stated at the meeting that he could not betray his companions, which was to draw a bottom line for the team.

As long as they are obedient and can obey the work arrangement, that is to say, as long as their loyalty is qualified and their abilities are low, the team urgently needs them.

Anyway, the chubby breeder is still vacant.

Of course, lack of ability and lack of will are two different things.

If he encounters a survivor who wants to "eat subsistence allowances", Iger will definitely help him reshape his ideology with the attitude of "curing the disease and saving the patient", ensuring that he will become "popular and professional".

　Many plots in the first part will be unraveled in the second part.
