Chapter 669 Development Plan
Two days passed in a flash, and Jiang Xiaoxiao and her group's matter was basically over. Their arrival surprised the people in Longhu, but they did not cause any trouble, so the people in Longhu did not feel anything about them.
However, their men managed to guard one of the exits, which made the people in Longhu think that these people were actually quite decent, and many gradually accepted their presence. As for the others, they either didn't care about them or were too lazy to bother with them, since they only cared about their own lives and didn't care about the lives of others.
The situation at Longhu has stabilized, which is good news for Wu Shuang.
Next, we need to deal with Chu Fei's old clique; there are quite a few people who followed Chu Fei back then.
Although I have killed Chu Fei, his people have not been completely eliminated. The few people who have been arrested are nothing compared to those who have been planted among the masses.
Wu Shuang had been troubled by this matter, and I wanted to share her burden, so I took on the task myself.
Two days have passed now, it should be about time.
I went to the prison behind the mansion. There was no longer any wailing or screaming inside. I wondered how they were doing now.
When I arrived here two days ago, I gave the guards orders not to eat or drink, to see how long they could endure it.
Hunger is more terrifying than death. Death ends everything and you know nothing anymore, but hunger is enough to drive a person crazy. When I was starving, I really felt like I was going to go insane, but luckily I survived.
If I hadn't survived that time, I probably would have eaten human flesh. When you're starving to the point of madness, you're capable of anything.
I've only starved them for two days now, they should be able to hold on, right?
I arrived at the cell door, looked at the person lying on the ground inside clutching their stomach, and smiled slightly.
When the people in the cell saw me, they became excited and ran to the door, pleading with me.
"Please, give me food, give me food! I... I'm starving!" The guy in front of me had bulging eyes and cracked lips; he was practically driven mad by hunger. The others didn't rush up to me, but their eyes held a mixture of pleading and resentment as they looked at me.
I smiled slightly. "Want to eat? Sure, just tell me how many of you there are and what their names are. If you tell me, I'll let you eat."
The man in the cell stared intently at me. He had previously been a high-ranking executive at Longfor, so he must have known quite a bit about this matter.
He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I want to eat!"
I said, "Okay, but there's still a long time before dinner. I'll give you some time. Think it over carefully before dinner, and make sure you've thought everything through. Of course, the same goes for the rest of you. I hope that when I come to ask you, I can get the answers I want. If your answers don't satisfy me, then dinner is out of the question."
After I finished speaking, I left. Now, only one person in all the cells is unable to bear the hunger. The others are suffering, but they are not to the point of madness.
If you ask them now, they might not tell the truth.
So let's just wait, wait another day or two, until they're so hungry that everyone's gone crazy, then it'll be about time.
...
Back in the office, I told Wu Shuang about the situation. Wu Shuang smiled and said, "I trust you to handle things. As long as there are results in the end, that's fine."
I smiled bitterly to myself. Wu Shuang was really carefree and ruthless. This meant that no matter how I killed them or what I did to them, Wu Shuang wouldn't care. She only cared about the result.
Wu Shuang then said to me, "I've been thinking about this for the past two days. If we really want to unify Hangzhou, it will be very troublesome. After all, Hangzhou is a big city, and it will be very difficult to completely unify it, let alone make them submit to us."
I said, "Submission doesn't necessarily mean defeating them; it can also mean establishing a cooperative relationship with them."
"A cooperative relationship?" Wu Shuang was completely confused.
I said, "It's been over a year since the zombie outbreak started, and since it's winter now, getting food is difficult for everyone, including Longhu, right?"
Wu Shuang nodded, "Yes, although winter can preserve food for a little longer, we have a large population here and consume a lot of food every day. We send people out to find food every day, but what we find is not proportional to what we consume."
I said, "In that case, we can find someone to cooperate with. I don't really know much about this area, but I think you can find someone who is good at it to help you develop a detailed plan. To unify Hangzhou, the way is not just to conquer everyone in Hangzhou, but also to make the people of Hangzhou believe in us and trust us."
"At that time, although they will not openly join us, as long as the cooperation can be stable and we can use some underhanded methods, others will naturally be willing to join us. There may be some hiccups and conflicts in the process, but as long as they are handled well, they will not be a problem."
Wu Shuang frowned and thought about it carefully for a long time before asking, "Is it really reliable?"
I said, "Right now, what everyone lacks most is resources. For now, let's try to find ways to stockpile resources."
Wu Shuang said, "I know about stockpiling resources, but there aren't many resources left in Hangzhou that we can find."
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something, but given the current situation, it would be very difficult to implement, so we can only take it slowly.
I said, "Let's find someone first, a professional who can help you. Only in this way can we make the most of the resources at hand."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go find someone now." Wu Shuang sighed.
Managing a group is very difficult. You have to think about all aspects of the survival and life of more than 300 people. Wu Shuang is really annoyed right now.
All I can do is try my best to share her burdens, but I don't know to what extent.
If Hangzhou is not unified, Wu Shuang will not come to Jiajiang with me. However, my continued delay in returning is also a serious problem. It seems that I need to find some time to go back to Hu Fei. Ideally, we should be able to open up a road that runs directly from Jiajiang to Hangzhou. That way, we won't have to worry about traveling back and forth.
If Jiang Xiaoxiao is willing to live in Jiajiang at that time, it won't be a problem.
