walking dead

Chapter 537 Warm water boiled frog

"Be quiet, everyone be quiet, and listen to me, okay..." Lin Tao raised his voice three times in a row, and then slapped the podium violently. Then the noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and they all stood in place and looked at Lin Tao eagerly. , Lin Tao said helplessly: "I can tell you this method for free, but not now. After this operation is over, everyone is welcome to visit our village. Wouldn't it be better for us to calm down and have a good chat then? Don’t forget, there are still [-] to [-] living corpses waiting for us in Dunshan Town, which is more than ten kilometers ahead of us!”

"Brother, you are so fucking arrogant! We will do whatever you say!" A leader gave Lin Tao a thumbs up excitedly, but Lin Tao couldn't laugh or cry when he said the rude language.

"Okay, everyone please sit down!" Lin Tao lowered his hands, and after everyone sat down one after another, Lin Tao continued: "Continuing the topic just now, Brother He said just now that everyone guards one side and does their own thing. This is not impossible, but the risk is too great. Please think about it, if one of our parties makes too much noise and attracts more than half of the living corpses, what should we do? So many living corpses are too much for any of us. It is a catastrophe, so this battle plan must not only be discussed, but also carefully discussed..."

Next, Lin Tao used easy-to-understand words to describe the whole plan in a clear and orderly manner. Even though the following are just a bunch of rough embryos with an average elementary school education, as long as they are not idiots and mentally retarded, everyone can clearly understand Lin Tao. What he was expressing, what he should do at that time, and his personal experience was added to it, which immediately aroused the resonance of everyone, and they all praised Lin Tao's plan as a good plan, and even thought out an unexpected escape route for them. , It is simply a tailor-made solution for old fritters like them.

"Zhao Bin..." [

After Lin Tao finished speaking, Jiang Zhenyu stood up with a sigh, patted the red-faced deputy beside him, and said earnestly: "Now you should be convinced of Jindian Villa, right? They must be unique among many gathering places There are differences between them. We should also keep pace with the times. We can’t face the end of the world with old-fashioned vision and thinking. We should think about things from the perspective of survivors. Although we are an army, But at the same time, he is also a survivor!"

"I understand Commander, Master Lin does have a lot to learn from me!" Chen Zhaobin lowered his head in shame. Compared with Lin Tao's plan, his plan is simply nonsense, and he is still using the army's The inherent mode considers the overall situation, but they don't understand that their opponents are no longer living humans, and the group of people in front of them are no longer soldiers who can charge forward with a single order. First, they must be able to save their lives. , they will be willing to fight this battle, otherwise everything is empty talk.

"Adjutant Chen doesn't need to be too modest. After all, we have different thinking points from the beginning. If you plan to attack humans, even I can't find fault with it!" Lin Tao smiled and shook his head, while Jiang Zhenyu stepped onto the podium, the same He smiled and said: "It seems that when I have time in the future, I must invite my brother to teach those little guys of mine. When the time comes, brother, you should not hide your secrets!"

"I just use these three tricks to teach you high-achieving students who graduated from military academies. I think I should show my timidity in five minutes!" Lin Tao shrugged and smiled peacefully, but Jiang Zhenyu laughed loudly and patted him on the shoulder heavily. , looked at him very satisfied, but finally asked with some worry: "Brother, the people in the university city are unlucky this time, trying to ambush you but accidentally ran into a small wave of corpses, you share their burden this time." Will the pressure be too great?"

Regarding the annihilation of the University City people, Lin Tao also agreed with Jiang Zhenyu, declaring to the outside world that they happened to be attacked by living corpses during an ambush, and that the conspiracy was revealed by accidental capture of the dozens of survivors. The reason for saying this is not that Lin Tao is afraid of Huang Chaoran's revenge, but that once others know the cause and effect, even if Huang Chaoran doesn't want to take revenge, he will have to launch a crazy counterattack for the sake of face. Lin Tao wouldn't do anything!

"The problem shouldn't be too big. This time, thanks to the face of the brothers, let us occupy a favorable terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I didn't say that I was opportunistic. Thank you everyone!" Lin Tao smiled and cupped his hands to everyone in the audience. , and his previous generosity also won the favor of everyone, so they all expressed their so-called generosity, and they all patted their chests and said that if Lin Tao and the others couldn't hold on at that time, as long as they gave a signal, they would go up immediately support.

It was already afternoon after the temporary combat meeting, and no one dared to stay any longer. If the battle was to continue until dark, the living corpses would say so, but it would be very bad for human beings. No one would If you are willing to fight a group of walking corpses in the dark night, the most important thing is a quick victory.

……

The moon is like a hook, and the first-quarter moon, which is twice the size of previous years, hangs high above people's heads. Under the dim moonlight, exhausted soldiers hold their guns and sit cross-legged on the soil slope. "Whoosh" poured into their necks, chills and drowsiness invaded their bodies and brains alternately, making them drowsy and at the same time forced to wake up, almost every minute the fatigue in the body would increase.

One kilometer in front of them is the ancient town of Dunshan with a history of hundreds of years. However, after hundreds of years of vicissitudes and thousands of cycles of the sun and the moon, the general appearance of this ancient town has not changed. Everything here still looks the same. So primitive, if not for the sporadic sight of a few small trucks, this place seems to be an ancient town isolated from the world, definitely related to modernization!

"I bet, 1000 yuan a month is considered a high income here. This broken town is so fucking poor!" Zhang Xu squatted on the edge of a high soil slope with a cold rifle in his arms, despite wearing a heavy military uniform. coat, but the clear snot in his nasal cavity continued to flow out. He sniffed his nose "hula-hula". There were many rotting corpses lying on top of each other, and a strong smell of corpses could be smelled from a long distance away.

"It's so fucking evil. From the time the sun went down to now, even [-] living corpses have not been killed. Could it be that all the living corpses in that town have fucking rhinitis, and they can't even smell blood?" Zhang Xu frowned dissatisfiedly. Seeing that Lin Tao, who was smoking a cigarette, kept silent, he smacked his lips in amusement, then turned his head and asked Zhou Meng behind him: "Old Zhou, is the blood you got okay? It doesn't seem to be strong! "

"What's wrong with the blood? I released it from the thighs of those captives with my own hands. It's hot!" Zhou Meng squatted not far behind Lin Tao and rolled his eyes. He was really anxious to wait, so he stood up and stomped With cold feet, he walked up to Zhang Xu and said, "You don't think there's anything weird about the living corpses in this town, right? Just now that little girl Peng Qingqing came over and reported that all the people combined had [-] living corpses. If you haven’t killed it, how can there be any reason why a living corpse can’t smell the blood?”

"Damn it, there won't be a corpse king leading them to a party in the town, right?" Zhang Xu also had a weird face, and turned to Lin Tao and asked, "Brother Lin, no, let's talk it over with old man Jiang and rush in." It’s okay to kill in the town, it’s not a problem to wait here all the time!”

Lin Tao shook his head lightly, then pointed to the piles of living corpses on the ground and said: "Have you found out? Most of these living corpses we killed did not come from the town, the living corpses gathered in the town Maybe not even a tenth of the corpses have been wiped out!"

"No way?" Zhou Meng was startled when he heard the words, staring at the corpse down the slope with two bull's eyes in surprise, while Zhang Xu frowned, nodded after thinking for a while and said: "It seems to be true. In this way, these living corpses come here intermittently, and they still come from different directions, if the living corpses come out of the town, they should come in large numbers!"

"Yes!" Lin Tao nodded in agreement, and continued, "These living corpses are most likely attracted from other towns or villages by the smell of blood. The living corpses in Dunshan Town are probably still gathered there without moving!"

"Damn! There won't be any big guys hiding in this town, right?" Zhang Xu grinned at Lin Tao, Lin Tao shook his head but couldn't figure it out. The person posted a circle, and asked with a cigarette in his mouth: "Brother Lin, you said that the county only sent an army of 3000 people this time. I think they seem to have ulterior motives. If you ask me, their regular army only has 3000 troops People, but as long as Anthony gives an order, 3 armed forces can be easily taken out, right?"

"Of course!" Lin Tao let out a puff of smoke, turned his head and said with a sneer: "The county people are not fools, and they will not always blindly play the savior for free. Now that the surrounding forces are growing, from the perspective of the ruler, This is not a good thing for the county, so they are trying to control these forces for their use. To put it bluntly, this joint operation is a test. They want to see how we will react to the orders issued by the county. They also want to take this opportunity Put on their boss status, and then gradually recover the investment they sent out in the past!" [

"You mean to say that the county seat is like raising horses, deliberately supporting those small gathering places just to control them, and to fight for them when they are in trouble?" Zhang Xu frowned and asked: "But The leaders of these gathering places are not stupid, who would do it if they lose money?"

"Hehe~ This is their Nai, in fact, the county seat is not very willing to support them!" Lin Tao simply sat on the muddy ground, crossing his legs and said: "These small gatherings of armed personnel are a group of very unstable people. The reason is the same as the previous emperor’s method of recruiting bandits. Instead of spending a lot of money to destroy them, it is better to appease them, and then slowly exert influence and pressure on them, so that they feel that they dare not resist the county from the bottom of their hearts. , just like today, although many gathering places are very reluctant in their hearts, they have to come here, so as long as they don't get twisted together in the end, their strength will grow slightly if things go on like this, but they will still be driven by the county at will , forced to become their pawns!"

"Isn't that the same as boiling a frog in warm water? After I react, I won't be able to resist long ago!" Zhang Xu was a little startled, and his face was also ugly.

"That's right!" Lin Taonai shrugged and said, "Now they have been unknowingly included in the rules and regulations set by the county seat, and everyone is basically following the rules set by the county seat, even us. Almost, and Huang Chaoran has seen through this point, so he dare not openly watch the TV of the county in the university town, just to minimize the influence of the county and let the university live outside the system created by the county, otherwise In the end, it’s hard to say whether the surname of the University City is still Huang!”

"Damn it, these gangsters in the county are really not good!" Zhang Xu slapped his thigh and cursed viciously, and then said thoughtfully: "Brother Lin, if you think about it, it's really scary. Just like during Chinese New Year, the county issued an order that no one is allowed to set off large-scale fireworks, and everyone complied with it as a matter of course. Even I had the illusion that the decree issued by the government should be complied with, but it can be done like this Go on, if everyone regards the county as the boss, will they annex us too?"

"The so-called annexation is not annexation!" Lin Tao waved his hands with a smile, and said, "At least the county town has not dared to plunder in front of us, and the laws and regulations they have promulgated are all beneficial to everyone, so even if I, the owner of the village, will Don't do it, let the people in the county do it, as long as they are sincere for the good of everyone, I will support them!"

"That won't work. I will recognize you as the boss. Whoever dares to compete with you for the position, I will be the first to let him go!" Zhang Xu jumped up without hesitation, and Zhou Meng beside him also showed a ferocious expression. Like, but Lin Tao pointed at them and said with a smile: "Don't show your loyalty here, I don't know you well, you just want to take over the mountain and become king, for fear that others will share your cake, so you won't be able to continue to show off your power right?"

"Where is it?" Zhang Xu immediately became embarrassed, touched his head and said with a smile: "We usually like to shake our prestige, but we don't harm the village, but we don't want to have an outsider lead us. What are you giving to outsiders?"

"In the final analysis, you still have too much feudal thinking!" Lin Taonai shook his head and said, "I am just a stopgap measure to be the owner of the villa. You must have seen that I am not a qualified management talent. It hasn’t been peaceful for a few years, so I still need me, but if one day the living corpse is no longer a threat and we return to a normal society, then how can we continue to occupy the top of the mountain? Naturally, I still need to be in this position. I let it out, but it would be a good choice to choose someone from this village to replace me!"

"We'll talk about that day. Anyway, without you, there would be no villa today. Even if I follow you all the way to the dark, I will not regret it. I am willing to be your pawn for the rest of my life!" Zhang Xu gritted his teeth and said to Lin Tao very seriously .

"To be honest, I really hope that day will come sooner..." Lin Tao sighed with a full face, but seeing the tough expressions on the faces of his subordinates around him, he had no choice but to stand up and make a joke: "But There is one thing I must be the first to propose, that is, monogamy must never be restored, and how many wives you should marry depends on your ability!"

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter, knowing that if monogamy is restored, Lin Tao must be the first to suffer.
