Chapter 117 Takeover
Chen Yi has no regrets about killing Zhang Yongqiang and others. As for leaving a part of them to protect those people at the bottom, it is a joke. What should I do if I stay? Do I continue to bully those people? Besides, those guys are hiding in the crowd when they go out. It is better to expect them to protect them than to arm the lower class to protect themselves.
However, after solving Zhang Yongqiang and others, the remaining people became a problem. They had no leader. If they were left alone, although they would definitely have to follow Zhang Yongqiang and others, they would definitely get out of Wang Yongqiang and Liu Yongqiang after a long time...
In that case, Chen Yi’s previous actions would have no meaning.
Facing hundreds of eyes looking at him, Chen Yi thought for a while and said, "Look at you, are there any fish that escaped the net? I mean the kind of person who once followed Zhang Yongqiang and the others to act as a mighty person."
No one spoke, and people looked at him with gratitude and fear. After all, so many people died at Chen Yi's hands.
Frowning, Chen Yi said, "Don't be afraid. As long as you don't do anything that is not good for me, I won't do anything to you."
After a moment of silence again, an elderly man walked out tremblingly and said carefully: "This gentleman, there is no fish that escapes the net. With Zhao Yongqiang and the others' death, those people were scared out of fear, either killed by you or ran away."
Finally someone spoke, Chen Yi said: "Since that's the case, it's almost dark. Then everyone will go back to the cave first, block the entrance of the cave, and bet tightly. I'm afraid it will be uneasy at night."
So many people died before, and making such movements could easily attract danger in the jungle. When people realized this, they all entered the cave one after another, and immediately blocked the entrance of the cave tightly with a demonstration.
A torch had been lit in the cave. What surprised Chen Yi was that the torch was made of oil and wood. There was almost no smoke in the burning, so the air quality in the cave was quite good.
Especially the extremely clean cave, it is not the dirty and harsh environment that Chen Yi imagined.
"What do you call the old man?" After entering the cave, Chen Yi signaled the old man who had spoken before to follow him. Walking in the clean cave, Chen Yi asked him with a smile.
At this time, Chen Yi had taken off his hat. The people around him probably had imagined Chen Yi's countless appearances, but they never thought that he was just a boy in his teens, too young, and when he looked at him one by one, he was more surprised and curious than fear.
I have to say that Chen Yi's overly young appearance invisibly brought his relationship with those people closer.
The old man who was questioned by Chen Yi was about fifty years old, but he used to be thin and poorly dressed, looking over 60 years old. At this time, he replied carefully: "My name is Wang Dahua."
"It turns out that it is Uncle Wang. My surname is Chen. I have a single name. You can call me Chen Yi directly." Chen Yi nodded and did not deliberately lower his figure. Although the rest of the people here are people who have been bullied for a long time, in such an environment, their minds and natures must have changed to a greater or lesser extent. If they seem too easy to talk to, they may have bad consequences.
With the previous iron-blooded methods, Chen Yi was confident that he could suppress these people.
"Chen...Mr. Chen, I wonder what you are asking for me?" Wang Dahua said nervously, not daring to call Chen Yi's name directly.
Chen Yi didn't care about this. At this time, they had already arrived in an open and dry cave. It was about the size of a basketball court, with many fork holes around it, and torches shone through the place. After people came here, a small part of them went to the fork holes, and more of them stayed to look at Chen Yi nervously. After Zhang Yongqiang and the others died, Chen Yi was the well-deserved boss here. They didn't know what fate would be to meet them next.
After finding a dry place to sit down, Chen Yi asked Wang Dahua: "Uncle Wang, can you briefly introduce the situation here for me?"
"What does Mr. Chen want to know?" Wang Dahua asked back. He did not dare to speak condescendingly. Seeing that Chen Yi sat down, he simply squatted down.
After thinking about it, Chen Yi said: "For example, how many people are there and how much food is there?"
"This... Mr. Chen, that happened just now. I don't know how many people there are now. As for what to eat, I don't know. Before this, food was always under the supervision of Zhang Yongqiang and others. We can't see it normally," Wang Dahua said nervously.
Hearing this, Chen Yi frowned, then looked at a young man and pointed at a side and said, "You, go and count me how many people there are now, how many men and women are, it is best to be more detailed." After saying that, he pointed to another person and said, "You, go and find me, who knows how much food reserves there are?"
The two assigned to Chen Yi did not dare to disobey Chen Yi's "order" and went there immediately.
Let’s start to understand from a simple place. My thoughts flashed. Chen Yi asked: “Uncle Wang, I found that the cave is extremely clean, different from the dirty and messy I imagined. Can you explain it?”
"This is very simple. So many of us live in caves. Because we are afraid of disease transmission, hygiene is particularly important. After all, if an infectious disease occurs, everyone may suffer." Wang Dahua explained, and his eyes seemed to be surprised that Chen Yi didn't even know this common sense.
Nodding, Chen Yi didn't feel embarrassed and continued to ask: "What about the water source? Also, is there any other place leading outside this cave except the entrance and exit where we came in?"
"There is a source of water in the cave, which is constantly around the years. There were more than a thousand people living here, not to mention now, as for the exit, there should be two more, but that is forcing the escape under the circumstances, and it is usually blocked," Wang Dahua explained again.
As he chatted, Chen Yi's understanding of this place gradually became clear. For example, before he came here, there were about 500 people living here. Now, the specific amount has not been counted. Secondly, when Zhang Yongqiang and others "ruled" the place, they would go out to collect food once every three days, and there would be a hundred people going out each time. This would ensure that everyone would not go out and be in danger and could not come back. In normal times, people were not without things to do, strengthening the walls outside, hoarding firewood, and polishing tools. In short, there were so many things that no one could be idle.
Overall, this place has lost contact with the outside world and lives a closed life. Most people clearly have the experience and experience of modern people, but they live a life equivalent to the "tribal era".
After chatting for almost half an hour, Chen Yi subconsciously looked at the exit of the cave, frowned slightly, and he vaguely heard the sound of wolf howlings coming from outside.
It is obvious that during the daytime battle, the smell of blood attracted the wolves. At this time, I wonder how many wolves were having a feast of gluttons outside.
Chen Yi heard the howl of the wolf, but also the others, all of whom were nervous and nervous.
At this time, Wang Dahua comforted Chen Yi and said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, the entrance of the cave is blocked, and the wolf pack cannot come in. Moreover, we sprinkled tiger feces and planted some poisonous plants at the base of the wall outside. There is no need for the wolf pack to get close to here."
Hearing this, Chen Yi suddenly realized in his heart that he was wise everywhere in his life. People living here may not be able to defeat wolves, but they can drive them away with animal feces that are more terrifying than wolves.
"Tiger's feces? Did you get them there?" Chen Yi said curiously.
Wang Dahua said: "We call this jungle a wild wolf forest, but there are few tigers living in it. We have never seen it, but we have heard the tiger roar and tiger feces were also picked up in the wild."
"So that's it..." Chen Yi nodded. There are not only wolves, but also tigers in this area, and there are no other terrible creatures.
At this time, the three of them came here carefully. Two of them, Chen Yi had assigned them before, while the other one was timid but did not know each other.
"Mr. Chen, I have counted it all. There are still 318 people left here, 23 children aged 14, 23 adults aged 14 and 40, and 64 people aged 14 and 40. Among all the people, about one-third are women." One of the three people reported carefully.
After listening, Chen Yi asked silly: "About one-third of them are women?"
What does it mean to be a man or a woman?
"Yes, probably, because... because... because what Zhang Yongqiang and others did before were too disgusting, some women would try to hide their genders as much as possible, so they could not count them in detail." The other party said nervously, and the cold sweat was flowing.
Chen Yi understood, nodded, and then looked at the other two.
One from the other side pointed at the other and said, "Mr. Chen just asked me to find someone who knew the food reserves. He knew best because he was the 'chief' in our camp and he was very clear about the food reserves."
Looking at the so-called chef, the other party was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was white and fat. Chen Yi thought to be a chef and asked: "Tell me, what is the current food reserve?"
"This is the new boss, right? I can't explain the food reserves clearly. Why don't you go and see it yourself?" the other party said with a flattering look on his face, as if he would kneel down at any time.
When Chen Yi felt his heart moved, he heard his implicit meaning. Food is the foundation in the end of the world. Only by mastering food can one say that he has mastered everything. How can others easily know it?
Thoughts flashed, Chen Yi said: "Okay, I'll go and see, you can lead the way."
Seeing that Chen Yi was going to see the food, Wang Dahua was confused for a moment and asked carefully: "Mr. Chen, I don't know what you want us to do next?"
