Doom Roar

072 Fighting for power and profit

There are not many materials available in the theater, and after barely blocking all the doors on the first floor, it was declared exhausted.

Fortunately, it seems that no special zombies that can climb have been found so far. This simple defense system should last for a while, but Xu Mo dare not be negligent. He still sent some sentry people to the second floor in winter. To avoid being attacked by zombies from above.

While strengthening the defense system, another job, the census, is also in full swing.

After simple statistics, there are currently about 100 people in Liangyuan Theater, of which more than 600 are ordinary citizens and night market merchants in the square park, and nearly 500 people are watching movies in the original theater. audience and theater staff.

As for the composition of the more than 2000 people, it is quite complicated. From civil servants in government agencies to street cleaners, it can be said that common occupations on the market can be found among these people, and many of them even have multiple jobs. job. [

But after all, this is not to engage in grand plans such as rebuilding civilization. The role of high-tech talents here may not be as good as that of migrant workers.Xu Mo just asked Dong Dong to select some young and middle-aged men who had served in the military as the emergency reserve team among these people, and the rest were placed in groups of 20 in the screening hall of the movie theater, waiting to be dispatched at any time.

While investigating the remaining personnel, Xu Mo accidentally discovered two acquaintances, Du Zhizhang and Chang Wisteria.

Originally, the two had made an appointment to watch a night movie together, but they were inexplicably drawn into a doomsday fantasy as soon as the movie started.They also heard Xu Mo's emergency notification. When the two of them figured out the situation and planned to find Xu Mo, they happened to catch up with the chaotic stampede. I have been waiting in the theater until now.

The appearance of these two people surprised Xu Mo quite a bit. Du Zhizhang's strengthening is basically negligible here, but Chang Ziteng, a physically strong woman, is definitely a good fighter, especially her three-meter-long warhammer." "Earth Breaker", it is a big killer when dealing with the most commonly used siege of zombies, and it is definitely much more efficient than his Spartan short sword in clearing the field.

Originally, Chang Wisteria had planned to enter the illusion of doomsday, but now that she knew that she was already in it, she didn't need Xu Mo's invitation at all, so she readily agreed to cooperate.Although Du Zhizhang didn't want Chang Ziteng to take this risk, but now that both of them were on this thief ship, it was meaningless for him to agree or not.

In order to prevent the two of them from being exposed as doomsday fragment ability users and causing them trouble after returning to the real world, Xu Mo also took a special opportunity to go to the square night market to get two woolen hats of very rustic styles, and dug them out at the facial features. After the hole, just enough to be used as a face mask.

The preparatory work was much slower than Xu Mo expected. When all the work was completed, it had been an hour since the first wave of zombies appeared. Fortunately, there were no signs of new zombies in the field of vision.

Thinking that there were still some details that needed to be discussed with Dong Dong and others, Xu Mo took Du Zhizhang and Chang Ziteng back to the screening room. As soon as he entered the room, he heard a voice like a report of a government work conference echoing in the sky above the screening room.

On the stage ahead, a middle-aged man with a belly as big as an eight-month pregnant woman and a "local support center" hairstyle is holding a microphone wrapped in a red cloth, speaking in the official's slow tone Soothing the slightly commotional crowd below.

"Citizens, please stabilize your emotions and listen to me... This incident must be a conspiracy by some imperialist countries that have coveted our country for a long time! It is purely ridiculous to talk about another space and a different city. Talk! As for why the army has not come to rescue for so long, I think it may be because of the interruption of communication that caused temporary difficulties in the mobilization of the army. But please believe in the country and the government, we will never abandon any Alone! As long as we are united and united as one, we can definitely get through this crisis smoothly..." The middle-aged man with a belly and bald head suddenly turned to one side, letting out the six or seven middle-aged men who were full of bureaucracy behind him People, introduced one by one: "Let me introduce to you the members of our temporary leadership team. This is Director Liu of the Liangyuan District Government of Shangshan City, and this is the Local Taxation Bureau of Shangshan City..."

Xu Mo was immediately overwhelmed by the familiar scene of leaders taking office on stage. Although in order to maintain the emotional stability of these 2000 people, it is true that some capable people should stand up and take on the responsibility of leaders, but Xu Mo The candidates in mind are by no means these fat-brained former Chinese government officials.

It's not that Xu Mo discriminates against these government officials. He does not deny that there are many capable people among them, but the unique officialdom culture of Huaxia Kingdom has created more officials who are vegetarians. Take off clean, only talk some lies all day long, read newspapers and drink tea to dawdle, not seeking merit but seeking merit.

This kind of people are definitely good at such dirty things as gaining power, gaining political achievements, promoting cronies, suppressing dissidents, etc., but if they are really asked to do some grassroots work in person, I am afraid the only result is to promote a group of middle-level people on the front line The cadres, and then the so-called "decentralization" of power by talking about it from above.

It happened that Dong Dong was not far away, and some volunteers were distributing the mineral water and biscuits in the cinema supermarket to the citizens. Xu Mo stepped forward and asked about the farce in front of him. That person is Minister Wang of the Propaganda Department of the Shangshan Municipal Party Committee. He is the one with the highest administrative rank here. It is also common practice to set up a temporary leadership team with senior cadres as the core in such emergencies. I have just worked for less than a year. What can a young policeman say? He can only obey orders..."

Xu Mo also saw the Nai in Dong Dong's eyes, but the national conditions of Huaxia Kingdom are like this, officials and senior officials crush people to death, and the people of Huaxia Kingdom seem to be used to the leadership of these officials, at this time if there is really no one who can represent If important figures of the national government stand up, I am afraid that it will give citizens the illusion that the government no longer exists, and the chaos will become even more unmanageable.

Forget it, as long as these people don't command blindly, let's treat it as a few national flags and national emblems... These citizens who are still in shock really need such a spiritual sustenance.

Xu Mo turned around and was about to leave the auditorium when suddenly a young woman in her 20s rushed out from the crowd, plopped and knelt in front of Xu Mo, clutching his trousers with tears streaming down her face, begging: "Please save my child Right! He's only three years old! He can't live without his mother! If you want to be locked up, lock me up too!"

"Eldest sister, get up first, and speak slowly if you have something to say." Ivy Teng, who is also a woman, was a little embarrassed, and hurried forward to help the woman up, and took out a tissue to wipe the tears on her cheeks.

Xu Mo looked questioningly at Dong Dong, who lowered his head in shame, and apologized: "Because this eldest sister's child was scratched by a zombie, Minister Wang said that in order to prevent other people from being infected, he asked us to kill all the children who were scratched by zombies. Those who were bitten were locked in the underground warehouse..."[

Xu Mo was suddenly furious. This group of guys who have done more than fail to succeed, the zombies over there haven't come yet, but they have caused something to happen here!Immediately said angrily: "Winter, go and release those people immediately! Who told them that zombies can infect viruses? You have to figure it out, this is not a biohazard! There is no such abnormal thing as a virus! These zombies are only caused by this space. Fantasy creatures created by energy... Forget it, you may not understand if you talk too much, anyway, you just need to remember that, unlike in the movies, these zombies are not infected with viruses, and the injured will not be life-threatening as long as they are treated in time."

"Then...well..." Compared with those officials who only pat their foreheads and make decisions subjectively, Dongdong trusts Xu Mo more. After all, Xu Mo seems to be the only one who is familiar with the inside information of the current space. . ! ~!
