Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 247: Resettlement of Refugees
One hour later, at the square of 011 base.

Chen Jian stood in front of Jiang Yu and asked in surprise:

"So, what you mean is that you took more than 150 people and first spent three days hiking kilometers to reach the main trade route, then got a steam locomotive to pull all your people here in batches, and finally left the main road and took a small road to the Jinling ruins?"

"Yes, we have basically exchanged all the materials that can be used for exchange."

Jiang Yu looked calm, and then said:

"We only kept the most basic living supplies and even traded away all the tools."

"So, if you need us to do some work, my lord, perhaps you need to provide us with tools."

"That's no problem."

Chen Jian nodded and asked:
"But the question is, are you that anxious?"

"I didn't say you were wrong, I just didn't understand why the decisions you made were somewhat..."

"Too arbitrary?"

Jiang Yu asked.

Chen Jian shook his head.

In fact, the series of decisions made by Jiang Yu cannot be said to be arbitrary.

The activities of beast tides are becoming more and more frequent, and the security environment around the Jinling ruins is getting worse day by day. For a migrating team, the most rational choice is to reach the destination as soon as possible at all costs.

However, this is a decision that can only be made when you have mastered most of the information, have a full understanding of the beast tide, and can accurately calculate the input-output ratio.

What about her?

She did not have Fuxi as a reference for decision-making, and obviously there was no huge crisis chasing after her to force her to move forward. How could she make such a decision?
Rely on intuition?

To be honest, if you really rely on intuition, after confirming that there is a relatively reliable way out ahead, the most intuitive choice should be to slow down the pace as much as possible and bring everyone here without missing a single person, right?

That's not how she does it.

During the more than four days of forced march, her team even lost a lot of people.

In the end, only a little over 011 people actually arrived at Base .

Thinking of this, Chen Jian asked:
"You could go slower, why do you have to go so fast?"

"Because if we slow down, some people who shouldn't be here will be brought here."

Jiang Yu's expression was still as calm as water, even a little cold.

After a pause, she continued:
"In fact, those who fall behind are not abandoned by us."

"They just didn't fit in here, so they chose to stay when they passed through other towns along the way."

"They are not ready to start over, nor are they ready to break free from the illusion of security."

"It's not that people like this can't survive, it's just that I really can't take care of them."

Can’t carry it?
Chen Jian's heart moved.

This is indeed a very reasonable reason.

After all, not everyone in this wasteland is qualified and capable of surviving.

Just like Jiang Yu said, some people are simply not ready to start over.

In the past few decades of stable life, they have long been accustomed to relying on their own experience and their established beliefs to survive.

Once they are allowed to come to Base 011, the only thing they will bring is losses caused by instability that will be greater than the manpower gains.

Tsk.

Chen Jian looked at Jiang Yu with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

So what on earth did this child go through that allowed her to see these things so clearly?
Chen Jian really wanted to ask, but he still adhered to his usual principle of not investigating the past of newcomers unless necessary.

So he simply nodded to indicate that he had no objection to Jiang Yu's judgment.

Then, he spoke:
"Let's settle these people you brought with you first."

"We haven't prepared any shelter for you in advance, so you must build your shelter for the night before dark tonight."

"Understood, my lord."

Jiang Yu answered immediately and then asked:

"Can we get started now?"

"Go."

Jiang Yu bowed to Chen Jian, then turned and left.

A few minutes later, all the refugees from Qiandao Lake Town who had gathered in the open space had started to move.

Under Jiang Yu's leadership, they first found a relatively flat and clean open space, and then quickly divided the work. Women, children and the elderly cleaned the ground, while strong young men went to the wood stacking area to select suitable wood.

Most of these woods were cut down by Fuxi during his previous land reclamation operations. After a period of air-drying, the branches had dried up. With the help of the simple tools issued by the ant colony robot, it was not difficult to process them.

In just less than two hours, the frames of several large sheds had been built on the open space.

Jiang Yu seemed to want to use branches and leaves to temporarily cover the roof, but after noticing her actions, Chen Jian generously took out the three-color waterproof cloth that was not used temporarily and gave it to Jiang Yu to use.

This thing is much lighter than the common tarpaulin in the world. The people who were building it quickly discovered the use of this material and sealed the roof in no time.

Afterwards, after observing the area, Jiang Yu directed everyone to prop up the center of the waterproof cloth with wooden sticks to prevent the accumulated water from collapsing the shed when it rains.

Everything is ready and the ground is basically clean.

Everyone's luggage was put down one by one, and dozens of areas were simply divided into family units.

Just achieving this step is enough to give Jiang Yu a thumbs up.

But her work is clearly not done yet.

She roughly determined the main wind direction, and then selected two locations far apart in the leeward direction to build a simple kitchen and toilet. When it gradually darkened, the stove in the kitchen had already been lit.

".Efficient."

Chen Jian sighed.

"Not only is it efficient, but her approach always feels familiar to me."

“It’s like recognizing a sect at first sight.”

Lei Jie on the side said:

“It’s very organized and efficient. The functionality of the camp is not very strong, but it’s enough to meet the needs of life.”

"Captain, this is a talented person. We should train her well. Maybe we can let her take charge of refugee management in the future?"

"Now the refugee management is still in the hands of Xie Liu and Ji Xing. Huang Yu occasionally helps out, but their abilities are not reflected in this area, which is a bit of a waste."

"Let's continue to see the situation first."

Chen Jian exhaled lightly, and then said:
"Give them something good for the first meal, and have a nice meal together. At the same time, prepare the projection equipment, and give them an induction training, just like the time in Yellowstone City."

"no problem."

Lei Jie nodded happily and said:
"What do you think these people will react to after seeing the video?"

"They are quite different from the residents of Yellowstone City. Most of them are still controlled by the theocratic ideology of the Mechanicus."

"If we give them a big blow, will some of them just defect?"

"I think there will be."

Chen Jian said thoughtfully:

"But it doesn't matter. On the way here, Jiang Yu has already done the first screening for us. Now we just have to do the second screening."

“Screening always comes at a cost, right?”

"That's true"

Lei Jie took a last look at Jiang Yu, who was standing in the crowd and giving a speech to the refugees from Qiandao Lake Town, and then walked to the main passage of the fortification to prepare the projection equipment that would be used soon. At this time, it was already past six in the afternoon, and the sky had finally darkened completely.

At a certain moment, the lights suddenly came on.

Everyone who had just arrived at Base 011 subconsciously raised their heads and looked in disbelief at the huge electric lights hanging high up that illuminated everything.

"Don't look at it, it's just a light!"

Jiang Yu said loudly:

"Have a good rest tonight. Starting tomorrow, we will work hard for a new life."

"You will see more incredible things. These are all masterpieces of the Chinese military."

"This place is unlike any other place in the world. This can be a paradise, but we have to put our heart and soul into it."

"Okay, let's go cook now. Hand over all the food you brought, and we'll cook together."

"No need to cook tonight."

Chen Jian suddenly appeared behind Jiang Yu and said:

"Although there is no shelter prepared for you, there is still enough food."

"Come on, sit down on the open space over there."

"We'll have dinner together tonight, and by the way, we have something to show you."

"Yes, my lord!"

Jiang Yu nodded immediately, and under her command, more than 200 people gradually gathered in the open space in a loose but orderly formation.

Everyone looked around in confusion, and at this time, the residents of Base 011 had already walked towards the kitchen that had been expanded several times, carrying their own tableware.

The meal this evening was not as luxurious as the celebratory banquet, but it was finally different from the usual meat porridge.

Steamed white rice, stewed chicken with vegetables and potatoes, fried luncheon meat, and a small amount of seasoning.

It’s not very rich, but it’s large in quantity and filling.

"Bring your cutlery and serve yourself. Eat small amounts frequently. Don't waste anything."

As soon as Chen Jian finished speaking, the refugees in Qiandao Lake Town moved hesitantly.

Perhaps the term "small amounts and multiple times" scared them. The refugees, who had just arrived in a new environment and had just come into contact with the unreasonable and powerful Chinese Army, were all a little restrained. When serving food, they only dared to take one or two pieces of chicken and a small bowl of rice. No one even dared to take the most popular luncheon meat, which they had never seen before.

On the contrary, Jiang Yu looked carefree.
-
That's true. She even dared to ask for a takeaway when we met for the first time. Having a meal really can't scare her.

However, under her leadership, everyone gradually relaxed.

After finishing a bowl of food, none of the refugees, who were already exhausted from the long journey, were full.

When the first person stood up and tried to get more food and was not stopped, everyone else also let go.

The pot was quickly emptied, but before anyone could get embarrassed, the second pot of stew was served.

This is Chen Jian’s plan.

What big things can happen in life?
Birth, old age, sickness and death, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Fill their stomachs first so that they will remember this place where they can get enough food. Then the subsequent ideological education will be much easier.

Seeing that everyone was eating slower and slower, Chen Jian waved his hand, indicating that it was time for Lei Jie to take the stage.

When the large projection screen lit up, the people sitting in the open space suddenly became agitated.

Everyone, including Jiang Yu, was startled by the sudden appearance of the image.

But soon, the residents of the base who were arranged in the crowd spoke up at the right time and explained the situation to the newcomers next to them.

Then, the sound and the picture intertwined.

The "Huaxia Army Propaganda Film" appeared on the screen again.

Those shocking scenes were so shocking that even the residents of Yellowstone City, who had already seen them once, could not help but feel overwhelmed, not to mention the residents of Thousand Island Lake, who were seeing them for the first time.

When the screening ended, everyone in the square fell into silence.

It was obvious that they were in a state of self-reflection after the great shock.

But Chen Jian's plan was not over yet. He struck while the iron was hot and launched many devices.

Combat robots, drones, trucks, guns.
Nothing is more shocking than seeing something in the "environment" appear right before your eyes.

After this series of attacks, Chen Jian didn't dare to say that the thoughts of most of the newcomers had been cleansed and purified, but there was no doubt that their old values ​​and world views had been shattered to pieces.

If a house is built crookedly, the best thing to do is not to correct it but to blow it up.

Destroy and rebuild!

Chen Jian stood in front of the crowd, looking at everyone's confused, doubtful, but expectant expressions with satisfaction. Then he stopped doing anything unnecessary and waved his hand to signal the meeting to adjourn.

Emotions that come to an abrupt end are the emotions that are most likely to trigger thinking.

Chen Jian believed that most of the refugees would not be able to sleep that night.

And this is exactly the result he wants.
-
But he didn't expect that Jiang Yu, who seemed calm, was not asleep either.

The next morning, when he opened the door of the main passage and walked out of the 011 fortification, Jiang Yu with bloodshot eyes was already waiting there.

"grown ups."

Jiang Yu bowed, then raised his head and looked at Chen Jian.

The cold morning air made her voice tremble slightly.

"Was everything we saw yesterday real?"

"Of course, you'll see later."

Chen Jian didn't explain too much, nor did he say a word of nonsense.

And this answer may be what Jiang Yu really wants.

She let out a long sigh and her expression relaxed instantly.

"I hope I can see that day. Sir, maybe you should assign us work for today."

“Looking for Jisung.”

Chen Jian pointed at Ji Xing who happened to be walking over and continued:
"She will first select a group of you to help build the arsenal and assemble and produce guns."

"For the rest of you, go find a female comrade named Huang Fei. She will arrange some work for you in agricultural production."

"If there are still some people left, you can arrange them as you wish."

"The Xuanwu Lake next to it is very large. If you can restore fishery production here, it will also be a good contribution to the base."

"Yes, my lord."

Jiang Yu nodded immediately, and Chen Jian waved his hand and said:
"Now that you are here, you can no longer call me sir. You have to call me commander, comrade."

"Okay, Captain."

Chen Jian said no more. He walked towards the kitchen not far away where the fire was already on and was about to make some breakfast, but at this moment, Fuxi's voice suddenly appeared in his headphones.

"Chief, there is an emergency."

"The team led by Chief Shen Yue discovered several monsters 40 kilometers to the south. It was determined to be a small-scale beast tide."

"The monster is moving very fast and is about to encounter our team."

"I have already issued a warning to Commander Shen Yue, and he asked if he should continue the combat mission?"

Coming so fast?
Chen Jian was stunned for a moment, then gave the order:
"Let Shen Yue act according to circumstances."

"Anyway, they are going there for training. If they can fight, let them seize the opportunity and have a good fight!"
