Chapter 35: Combination of kindness and power, bundling of interests

The next morning, there was still steaming hot egg noodles and several slices of bacon in the bowl, and everyone was full of laughter.

Just seeing Li Lin coming down from upstairs, everyone lowered their voices.

Li Lin didn't care about this, he just took the egg noodles that Wei Ya sent him and started eating on his own.

In the last days, we must pay attention to social hierarchy, where everyone is equal but not equal.

Equality for all means the sanctity of private property.

Except for Li Lin, no one can deprive a recognized base member of his life.

Within the rules set by Li Lin, everyone is equal and no one has any privileges to escape.

Inequality for everyone means that the stronger you are, the higher the quality of life you can enjoy, and you will have more rights and resources in your hands.

Another thing is that the stronger the strength, the heavier the weight in Li Lin's mind.

Don't underestimate this importance. If there are chance treasures that he won't need in the future, Li Lin will give priority to cultivating these people.

Of course, loyalty is also important.

Resources are scarce in the early stage, so every resource must be invested in him.

But as his strength improves, in the mid-term, some of the precious resources in the early stage will be of no use to Li Lin.

By this time, he will have cultivated a group of people who are loyal enough.

Among this group of people, under the same loyalty, he also has to distinguish between talents and combat prowess.

After all, some people are not born to fight, and are only suitable to work diligently, or to be in some special positions.

Anyway, in the last days, everyone can find a suitable place for themselves.

As the saying goes, the last days do not support idle people. If you cannot find your place quickly, you will be ruthlessly eliminated.

A pyramid, Li Lin is the eternal spire, and everything below is the cornerstone serving the spire, just to push him higher.

After breakfast, Li Lin led the team out again.

This time his goal is no longer limited to hunting zombies, he also wants to hunt zombie beasts.

During the day, zombie beasts usually hide in dark and quiet places according to the animal's instinctive habits, and only come out to look for food at night.

Compared to zombies, zombie beasts are more responsive and faster.

For ordinary people, encountering them is equivalent to encountering disaster.

Ordinary people can still fight when they encounter zombies, but if they encounter zombie beasts, they can only be beaten to death by the absolute speed.

Cars on the main road were cleared to facilitate subsequent transportation of supplies.

Of course, they will also deliberately make a lot of noise during the process, using a loudspeaker to play loud music to attract nearby zombies to kill them.

It is almost impossible to kill all the zombies, because if you clear out an area today, another group will wander in from other places tomorrow.

The density may be diluted, but it's still there.

Of course, after clearing an area, you can set up obstacles to prevent zombies from entering.

But your obstacles can hinder zombies, but they cannot hinder more flexible zombie beasts.

Instead of paralyzing yourself, it’s better to be alert at all times.

Li Lin was cleaning up the zombies coming out on both sides, while the members of the exploration team were clearing obstacles and also killing the zombies inside the car.

From the beginning, he only dared to trap him in the car and kill him. Later, under Li Lin's prompting, he slowly let him out, and then chopped off his head with an axe.

In fact, as long as you overcome your inner fear and become familiar with the attack rhythm of zombies, it is not difficult to hunt down lone zombies.

If you are smart enough, have enough practical combat experience, hold a weapon, and make reasonable use of the obstacles around you, you can easily deal with four or five zombies.

Of course, the most difficult thing is to overcome mental obstacles, not to be nervous when facing zombies, and to have the courage to fight back calmly.

It's easy to say, but not so easy to do.

The people outside did not have Li Lin to hold the line, and most people did not have any chance of making mistakes.

If you make a mistake, you will be knocked down by zombies and eaten as food.

Zero error tolerance, how many people dare to go on it?
It is human nature to be timid, cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death.But the situation on Li Lin's side is different.

He was brought out to hunt monsters. If something went wrong, he would kill the zombies with an arrow in advance to ensure the safety of his own people.

With Li Lin at his side, everyone dared to try and have the courage to try.

They had opportunities to make mistakes time and time again. From the panic at the beginning, they gradually grew to a calm situation.

They are like sparks of fire. Li Lin brings them out, and then they lead the new ones.

Then it is passed on, bringing the old with the new, and so on.

The initial investment will pay off later.

As people brought out by Li Lin personally, they can also be regarded as a new group of vested interests, and their relationship with Li Lin is even closer.

If his strength and loyalty can keep up, he will also be a mainstay in Li Lin's city-state in the future.

The people in front are veterans, and with the injection of new blood, Li Lin will give him a chance as long as it is not the kind of mud that cannot support the wall.

Let them become a new group of vested interests, tightly bind them, and increase their bargaining chips for betrayal.

With the existence of the external enemy Doomsday, they are already vested interests. The cost of betrayal is high. Who is willing to betray?

Loyalty is not about words, but needs to be tied up with actual benefits.

Only common interests can tie everyone to the same chariot.

In such an environment and conditions, I believe no one would choose to betray.

Because they are not strong enough to become the lord of a city, there will be no more benefits if they betray them.

On the contrary, once Li Lin, the Optimus Prime that protects them, collapses, their interests will be greatly affected.

Give up the original stocks with inherent advantages, and instead go to other people.

But they already have their own circle of interests.

If you go there, you will only be ostracized, not trusted, and will not get any benefits.

Therefore, they will only protect Li Lin's interests extremely.

Because Li Lin's interests are their interests.

The combination of grace and power is the kingly way.

If you just insist on tolerance and benevolence, you will only destroy yourself.

If you just kill people blindly and don't understand the trade-off between interests, the people under your command will become disloyal and will betray you when there are better circumstances.

There is only profit, and only profit.

……

After almost cleaning up the zombies around him, Chen Jie also started to use trucks to transport supplies.

At this time, a large group of survivors gathered outside the supermarket, all looking at them with envy and fear.

But they didn't dare to take a step forward, because the more than ten corpses lying on the ground were the best deterrent.

Although the apocalypse has been coming for twelve days, there are still some people who cannot figure out their place and cannot adapt to the rules of survival in the apocalypse.

Since they can't adapt to the laws of survival in the apocalypse, they can only let them die.

It's just that this time Li Lin didn't take action, but asked his exploration team to do it.

We all eat together, so we can't let him get blood on his hands alone, right?
"Shh-"

"Shh-"

Just as Chen Jie was directing the convoys to move supplies, two short whistles came from the sentry on the roof.

"City Lord, a group of zombie dogs are coming!"
