Chapter V Negotiation (Part 2)
"Those guys want whatever they see, food, weapons, and a guy, and even want to provide 50 women with the alliance. I really don't know what those guys are thinking!" Meng Longwei said angrily weakly.
"Don't get to know those people." Zhao Qiang smiled. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. As the saying goes, birds die for food and people die for money, and people die for themselves. If they don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed. In such a day when human civilization has fallen, it is really normal to have such people. "By the way, how is that alliance performing today."
"Survivors Alliance? They are very strange." Meng Longwei's face became solemn when he mentioned the Survivors Alliance. "At first I thought they pulled us over, just to annex or join forces. They sent helicopters to pick us up. On the one hand, they were considering safety, and on the other hand, they were demonstrating."
"Demonstration?" Zhao Qiang was a little confused.
Meng Longwei nodded and continued, "That's right, it's a demonstration! Think about it, they have such powerful force, aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles. Such strength is now enough to be unobstructed in the outside world. Even we are not their opponents, but they have concentrated everyone here for negotiations, and the purpose is self-evident."
"Maybe, but I walked around here today. What I saw and heard made me feel that they were not as I imagined." Zhao Qiang explained that Meng Longwei's judgment was somewhat different from his own. In Zhao Qiang's heart, the purpose of this survivor alliance may be really simple, that is, to unite the few survivors and continue human civilization.
"Xiao Zhao, you have to remember one thing. Although it is said that seeing is true and hearing is false, in this society, what you see with your own eyes may not be true. There are many things you need to judge based on more things."
"You mean, it's not safe here?" Zhao Qiang lowered his voice.
"That's not. The situation is not clear now. The information we have received is limited. It's too early to draw conclusions." Meng Longwei taught that he admired Zhao Qiang, the younger generation. When he was at the head of Orange Island, he first met this young man named Zhao Qiang. For a group of strangers who had never lived, he had been born and died several times. The young man did not even frown. There are not many such people now. "For example, at today's meeting, the people in the alliance only briefly introduced the original intention of the alliance. Judging from their purpose, it seems that it is just to unite all the forces that can be united, just like our ancestors, and they did not show a strong desire to control in the venue, and let others quarrel there, so that we cannot figure out their true purpose. The most important point is that three days are enough for them to arrange a good show."
Zhao Qiang fell into deep thought, yes, why did the alliance not contact the outside world immediately after getting in touch, but waited for 3 days. As Meng Longwei said, 3 days is enough to arrange a big show, but what is the purpose of doing this? If they just want to forcibly annex other survivors, then according to their strength, there is no need for the alliance to gather everyone together and have a meeting.
"Then have they disclosed their purpose?" Zhao Qiang asked.
Meng Longwei nodded and said, "They want us to join this alliance to deal with our common enemies. The right to join the alliance is to receive support from all members. The obligation is to provide assistance within their power when other members need help."
"That's it?" Zhao Qiang waited for a long time, but couldn't wait for the following. The other party's purpose was so simple, it was a bit unbelievable, and the rights and obligations were so simple that they were beyond words.
"What else can it be done?" Meng Longwei took Zhao Qiang's words and said: "In this way, those guys have made countless requests, such as this, that, food, weapons, etc. Once the topic of joining the alliance is involved, those guys will just focus on the rest and other things."
"What about us? Should we join that alliance?"
"You are also one of the people in charge. How do you think of this problem?" Meng Longwei returned the problem to Zhao Qiang. Most of the people in the base were rescued by Zhao Qiang in real life. They had a deep relationship with Zhao Qiang. If anyone has the highest reputation in the prison, it would be Zhao Qiang. But this young man has no desire for power. He has gone out to perform the most dangerous tasks every day, and he is to accompany his wife who has been reunited for a long time. He doesn't care about all kinds of affairs in the base. In fact, if Zhao Qiang climbs up at a critical moment and waves his way, more than 90% of the people in the base will follow him.
In fact, Zhao Qiang is not not interested in power, but in this apocalyptic environment, Zhao Qiang does not know what the meaning of power is. Human beings are facing an extinct crisis. What is the difference between power and none for endangered species?
"Why not?" Zhao Qiang asked in response. Based on the existing information, Zhao Qiang could not find a reason not to join this alliance. Joining the Survivors Alliance can get help from all members, and all he paid was to provide assistance within his ability. There were no other conditions attached, which seemed like a good deal.
"Join them, we can get what we want, and at the same time we can afford what we need to pay. Even if they have any other intentions in the future, we are not afraid of them." Zhao Qiang added that Zhao Qiang was not afraid of this survivor alliance. Most of their military advantages were based on the oil industry. Helicopters, tanks, and armored vehicles were all oil-eating tigers, and there was no fuel-efficient lamp. Outsiders don't know that they read books very widely. Zhao Qiang, who spent most of his time in college, read various magazines in the library. Heavy and 8 tonnes of oil were only enough to fly for two and a half hours, not to mention that he patrolled with armored vehicles every day. No matter how rich the reserves in the alliance are, it will not last long.
Every survivor camp can support it to this day, in addition to enough strength, it is more of luck. Looking back on the terrifying sandworm I encountered that day, Zhao Qiang is still scared. As long as one, just one, any survivor camp is so vulnerable in front of the terrifying monster. Fortunately, the sandworm only appeared once for such a long time, and it seems that others do not know the existence of this terrifying creature.
