Chapter 194: Last Chance (Part 3)
193 Last Chance
In addition to supplying the superpowers with supplies, many people fought against the zombies last night and deserved rewards. The number of crystal cores they harvested in the end was not large, and a large part of them were devoured by the zombies.
It is obvious that these crystal cores alone are not enough to be distributed, so the military has to pay more out of their own pockets and allocate a portion of the supplies as rewards to these heroes.
In order to save supplies, the military was also very troubled, so they simply cut corners and gave less supplies, and the remaining rewards were all exchanged for credit points and contribution points.
These are just virtual data, so you won't feel bad about giving them away. In addition, they not only raised the prices of goods in safe stores, but also adjusted the purchase restrictions to a smaller number to prevent people from deliberately hoarding supplies.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the preferential treatment for meritorious personnel.
The military raised the price to stimulate ordinary people to participate in military training, go out to hunt zombies, and complete tasks. As long as they complete the tasks, they can not only get crystal cores, but also credit points and contribution points as rewards.
And those who are unwilling may really not be able to survive by then.
Human potential is always infinite. Some people always have lucky thoughts in their hearts and are prone to slackness before they recognize the reality. However, once the bloody and cruel reality is placed in front of them, they may burst out with unimaginable strength in order to survive!
However, when the new regulations were first announced, most people were against it. They were used to being lazy and protected, so how could they be willing to accept those cruel military trainings, or even go out to hunt zombies!
Those monsters are so scary!
"You can't do this to us!"
"We protest! We will not recognize these new regulations!"
"That's right! We will never admit it!"
…
For a while, the voices of protest were heard one after another.
The three generals said nothing. After these people made a fuss for a while, Qiu Hongsheng took out a pistol and fired a shot into the air.
"Bang!"
The gunshots successfully stopped these people from protesting. They were not very courageous, otherwise they would not have starved to death rather than go out to fight the zombies. Humans have an instinctive fear of dangerous weapons like guns.
Some people turned pale, and then, after a strange silence, someone suddenly said: "What are you afraid of! They are soldiers! Their duty is to protect us! They don't dare to shoot at us!"
As soon as this voice came out, it instantly broke the strange silence, and then there was an even more violent protest, almost a mass outcry.
The members of Yongsheng's team watched all this coldly and said nothing. They did not think there was anything wrong with these new regulations, because they did not cause much harm to their interests.
Even if there were no regulations in the safe zone, they would still go out to hunt zombies for cultivation. As for the price increase...they got a lot of good stuff in that food trade city last time! Most of those things were placed in the basement of the Fang family, and the rest were placed in Shang Jinxiu's space.
They don't need to buy food from safe stores, and even the weapons inside are not very attractive to them.
Moreover, they were also chilled by what happened last night. Their residence had also been entered, but they had only left a few supplies in the house as a cover-up. Those supplies were all junk food, and even though they were taken away, their loss was not great.
But even so, they still felt angry! They risked their lives to resist the zombies outside, but these people in the safe zone set their sights on the supplies in their hands!
This is something they simply cannot tolerate!
Moreover, although their losses were not great, what about the other superpowers? They risked their lives to fight against the zombies in order to protect the entire safe zone. Why should they be treated like this? How could they be treated like this!
What these people do is really disheartening!
Therefore, Chen Qiao and others had no resistance to these new regulations. Instead, it was the protests from people around them that made them quite dissatisfied.
Why do these people stay in the safe zone all day to receive protection? Why do others have to risk their lives to hunt zombies?
As expected, when you get too much, not only will you not be grateful, you will also take it for granted!
At this moment, another gunshot was heard, and then Qiu Hongsheng's voice rang out: "You are right, we will not shoot at you. But this is not because we are soldiers, but because we will not waste bullets on you! Our bullets are used to kill zombies, not to kill you cowards who are afraid of death! Now! Anyone who is unwilling to abide by the new regulations can stand up! I want to see how many people are unwilling!"
After he said this, everyone was silent for a moment, and then some people stood up one after another. Many people were still watching, and after they stood up, others followed suit and stood up one after another.
The so-called herd effect is nothing more than this. Some people were originally wavering in their hearts, but when they saw many people standing up, they subconsciously followed suit.
This is a mentality of the minority obeying the majority. In the minds of these people, since so many of them have stood up, can the military still ignore their wishes? At that time, the military will naturally compromise!
Unfortunately, they soon discovered that they were wrong.
Although many people stood up, more people were still sitting on the ground. Some of them had just shouted in protest. But if they were really caught as an example, they would not have the courage.
Qiu Hongsheng said calmly, "Anyone else want to stand up? I'll count to three. If you don't stand up, you won't have a chance!"
"one!"
Some people looked left and right, then stood up hesitantly.
"two!"
Some more people stood up.
"three!"
This time, more people hesitated, and more people stood up.
Qiu Hongsheng continued, "No one stood up? Have you really thought it through? Now, I'll give you one last chance. If you regret it, you can sit down now. If you still want to stand up, you can choose to stand up. This is your last chance, you only have one minute, after this time, there will be no more chances! So, you'd better think it through carefully!"
His words were full of threats, so soon, someone changed his mind.
Some who were originally standing, hesitated and sat back down, while those who were originally sitting stopped standing up.
Everyone's heart was beating fast, not knowing what Qiu Hongsheng meant. At the same time, they were even more worried about how they would be treated after they stood up.
Then, people sat down one after another.
This minute seemed particularly long. Some people even broke out in sweat, their faces turned pale, their lips became dry, and their eyes flashed with panic and anxiety.
However, a minute is still short after all, and it has passed before many people have really thought it through.
Then everyone heard Qiu Hongsheng say: "Okay, now one minute has passed, and you don't have the chance to regret your decision anymore."
For some reason, after hearing these words, everyone felt a sense of relief. Finally, they no longer had to make such a difficult decision.
Those who were sitting gradually accepted their fate, but those who were standing began to panic, their faces turned pale, and their legs trembled as they prepared to sit back down.
Qiu Hongsheng saw their plan and sneered, "I just said that you have no room for regret! Even if you sit down now, you will be caught!"
Hearing this, everyone in Yongsheng's team looked in one direction with a half-smile.
There stood a woman, she stood straight and her face was very calm, without any of the uneasiness that appeared on the faces of the other people. Instead, she looked like a martyr in a movie or TV series who was about to be executed. Her eyes were firm and her whole body was filled with a tenacious temperament that would rather break than bend.
It's a pity that seeing her like this, the people in Yongsheng's team didn't feel any admiration at all. Instead, they were secretly waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Because this person is none other than Lin Feiyin, who enjoys all the benefits brought by the identity of a doctor but disappears at the critical moment!
Shang Jinxiu whispered, "Sister Xin, this woman is really interesting. Why does she get involved in everything?"
Fang Yuxin smiled slightly: "Maybe she thinks she is the heroine in the TV series."
Shang Jinxiu understood immediately, her eyes lit up, and she smiled meaningfully: "Oh~~~~~~ But this is not a TV series, she doesn't think she is an indestructible cockroach, does she? Without the screenwriter's golden finger, she dares to imitate that person and act like a saint. She really won't know how she died!"
She didn't sympathize with these people at all. She didn't have the ability at the beginning, and all she could do was to be a mobile warehouse. But even so, she was working hard to improve her strength and go out to hunt zombies.
After joining the Yongsheng team, she accepted training from her teammates and even took the initiative to ask for more training tasks in order to improve her strength faster. Even if she couldn't reach the level of her teammates, she couldn't always be a burden.
But what about these people? In the past, they could say that they had no conditions to improve themselves, but now that the military has given them the opportunity to participate in training, what else do they have to protest?
This disaster is a disaster for all mankind, not for the superpowers. What obligation do the superpowers have to protect them all the time?
At this time, Qiu Hongsheng spoke again. He said, "Since you are unwilling to accept the new regulations of the safety zone, then you are no longer suitable to stay in the safety zone. Someone will personally escort you out of the safety zone! From now on, the safety zone will no longer welcome you!"
Just a reminder to prevent theft, I will correct it later, muah.
