Just when they were worried about the fate of this group of people and even considering whether to survive in the shelter, the deputy director took the lead and sent people straight to the town.
When they reached the bridge, they could see the outline of the town in the distance. He first stopped the team and arranged for people to guard over there. He also had to be on guard against this group of people running away, so he kept a close eye on them from behind.
The people who were brought out had no idea what they were doing and followed them in confusion. Some of them were so confused by their own imaginations that they were already trembling with fear.
"Where are you taking us? We...are we being sold?"
"Mmmmm, how much further do we have to go? I'm so tired."
"Ah, should we run away quietly? I'm a little scared..."
Some people wanted to take advantage of the large number of people to escape from the team, but they didn't expect that the team escorting them out was watching them closely. If anyone behaved inappropriately, they would be suppressed by force and forced to return to the main group.
"Alas, these people don't know how to appreciate what they have. I also want to live in the small town first!" The team that came out were all Li Sui's people. They knew the general situation, but they had not reached the destination yet, so they could not say these things. They could only chat with their teammates behind their backs.
"There's nothing we can do. We have to deal with these things quickly. We can still have a meal in the town." Some people didn't insist on being able to live there. They just wanted to send this group of people over and have a lunch to appease their stomachs. It had been a long time since they had eaten normal food.
Although there were nearly 30,000 people arranged to go there this time, most of them had some doubts but had not seen any problematic behavior. They were just asked to cross the bridge. Even if there was a little commotion, it was still under control. The deputy director quickly led his men to the outside of the town.
Qin Lou had already made preparations outside. Before, guests would go into the main building in the town to apply for membership, but he later found that the effect might be better outside, as their attention would be more focused and they would not ask too many questions when applying.
So he asked Shi Jiu for permission and set up a shop-sized space at the door. Besides, there were basically no zombies around, so it was quite safe.
When the deputy director arrived at the door, he saw Qin Lou already waiting there.
"Oh, Butler Qin, we meet again. Director Li still has other things to deal with in the shelter, so he asked me to come over this time." The deputy director walked up to Qin Lou and said in a friendly manner.
Qin Lou didn't care about these things. As long as the people arrived, it was fine. He looked at the people behind him, but they still looked a little panicked, looking around the town.
"Have you not explained to them the reason for coming here? They don't look that well."
The deputy director glanced back, also feeling a headache. "We need to explain the whole story right now so they can feel at ease."
"I have arranged several buses here. You can wait until everyone gets on. If you don't want to gather a thousand people, just press the start button when you get on the bus." Qin Lou told them how to use the bus at the door, and then sent some people over to explain some specific conditions of the town and how to use the membership machine.
Everyone looked at themselves being taken to a place that looked extremely grand, with surprise on their faces. They even stood on tiptoe to see more clearly inside.
"Where is this place? It seems we're already out of City A."
"I know! Could this be the magical town they talked about this morning?" Someone noticed four big words that could be seen just by looking up. This must be City B.
"Aren't we supposed to be stationed at the edge of City A? Why are we here? Didn't we agree on what to do?" We were supposed to fight? Why is something wrong?
"What the hell? This place looks so much better than the institute. Maybe we can't beat them." Now some people realized that the previous order was just an excuse. Maybe the higher-ups just wanted to bring us here.
At this time, the deputy director also borrowed a loudspeaker to explain the matter and made it clear why he did this.
"The director discovered a long time ago that the supplies in the shelter were insufficient for us to survive the winter. We happened to discover this small town in City B. We could participate in its construction and become part of it, living a life where we wouldn't have to worry about supplies. As for why we kept this a secret from you, it's because some people in the shelter have crooked ideologies and want to take the shelter for themselves. That's why we resorted to this desperate measure, bringing you all here without your knowledge."
The deputy director's words made them feel much more at ease. Fortunately, they were not abducted somewhere and sold, and their lives were not in danger.
After everyone settled down, they began to have various fantasies and speculations about the town. While queuing, they discussed with people around them the happy life they would soon have after entering the town.
The people who escorted them were relieved to see this situation. The deputy director saw that the situation at the scene was stable, so he took his people in to have a good meal. Although they had breakfast before leaving this morning, they had digested a lot of food after the round trip in the winter.
So they all got on the bus and headed straight to the cafeteria.
Shi Jiu could see a dark mass from a distance by the window and counted the number of people. "If Li Sui sends another 30,000 people next time, then the town can upgrade to level 8."
Speaking of this, Shi Jiu felt a little emotional. He was worried about a few guests before, but now it has been upgraded little by little. He doesn’t know what the upper limit of this system is.
Turning our attention to the present, there are many people tending to crops in the fields around, and some are working on the land they rented by the pond. The factory not far away is producing non-stop, and even the shops on both sides of the street are gradually being taken over by people who are planning to open small shops.
There are also people who go out every day to clear out zombies, but according to them, there are fewer and fewer zombies recently.
Shi Jiu thought that this should be good news. Looking at the tablet, there were indeed no zombies in the area where she was. The zombies they found were probably found on the other side of the bridge, farther away.
"After the zombies disappear, the crystal cores should be slowly recovered. I should be able to complete my mission soon..." Shi Jiu leaned against the window. She would be able to go home soon. She didn't know what would happen in the future...
Suddenly, Qin Lou's figure appeared in front of her. He just came back from the door at this time. His clean and refreshing outfit always made people notice him at a glance in this snowy world. If she went home in the future, she might never meet someone like Qin Lou again.
Shi Jiu recalled that at the beginning, it was a waste of his talent to have him as her employee. She seemed to have never found anything that he couldn't do, and he could complete everything very well. She was very grateful for his presence these days. When she left, she would see if she could ask 001 to compensate him.
But when she thought about these things, a vague discomfort spread from the bottom of her heart, which she subconsciously suppressed.
It was almost noon, and many people were preparing to eat, either going to the cafeteria or going home to cook for themselves. After the town was upgraded, two new cafeterias were added.
The deputy director took his people straight to the cafeteria and had a good meal.
"It might take a few more hours to complete the procedures for entering the town, with so many people here. But why don't we take some people back this afternoon to reassure the unsuspecting survivors in the station?"
The deputy director asked his subordinates while eating, if this group of people just left and never came back, it would probably arouse suspicion. Even if one-third of the people in the institute left, it would still be difficult to deal with if something really happened.
"I think we can find a hundred or so people, preferably those who are good at speaking. That way, it will be easier to fool them about this garrison outside. After the second group arrives, we can think of other ways later."
Someone suggested that this method could only be used once.
"I think this is feasible. It's really a lot of effort to transfer people here. Why not just tell them directly?" Some people were also puzzled, as this is obviously the most convenient way.
"You're stupid! We who have seen it are definitely fine. But there are so many people in the institute. How can we, with just our one-sided statements, be convincing? Not to mention there are many people with ulterior motives mixed in. What if they try to take advantage of the situation and the wind turns to their side?"
"Rumors are always easier to believe than facts because they don't require logic, they just come out of your mouth. We need to prove that without extensive and conclusive evidence, how can we convince so many survivors?"
Li Sui also thought of this. Even if he was the director, if he rashly told them that they had found a place that looked like a fairyland and that they should disband and go there together, any normal person would have first thought about whether he had been possessed by another person. It was a good shelter, but he could not live there just because he said so.
The people who were already in the town didn't pay much attention to whether anyone came in today. They now live a regular life every day, without zombies and various accidents on the way to escape.
Ding-dong, the bell for school dismissal rang at noon, and many children rushed out of the school gate dragging their new schoolbags.
"Mom! Today in class, the teacher rewarded me with a little red flower!" Duoduo said happily after school at noon, pulling Fang Yun who came to pick her up.
Although there is a primary school now, it is just a teaching building without a cafeteria or accommodation, so they still have to go home to go to and from school.
Although Shi Jiu urgently recruited teachers, he found that not many qualified people after 001 screening. However, the system can also choose AI teachers. The smarter the teachers, the more expensive they are. However, for the sake of teaching, Shi Jiu still made a bold choice.
Duoduo is in the first grade this year. Several courses taught to her today are AI, but the core algorithm is very smart, which the child cannot see. Moreover, AI will not be affected by the child's unreasonable behavior and its own emotions and body. After a whole day of teaching, it is very friendly to both parties.
"Really? What did Duoduo do? There is actually a little red flower!" Fang Yun was also very considerate and praised Duoduo.
"I answered the most questions in the class! The teacher said I was great, so she gave me a reward!"
The two of them talked and laughed as they soon returned to the apartment. The school was not far from the neighborhood, and they heard that there would be a special student route for pick-up, which would make the journey even faster.
"Are you back? Wash your hands and have dinner. Dad made cola chicken wings today." Gao Ziang put all the dishes on the table when he saw them come back.
"Have the dishes been delivered to my parents' place?" Fang Yun asked after washing his child's hands and sitting down to eat.
"They had eaten long ago and are resting now. They said they would go to the fields this afternoon."
Gao Ziang initially felt that the apartment was not big enough for five people, so he rented an apartment across the street for his parents. He would ask the elderly to come over for meals, but later on, as they all got busy, they ate separately so they didn't have to get together. Every day, a portion of meals would be prepared and delivered to them.
