In Yang Lan's view, since Huang Zhao came with good intentions from the beginning.
Even if they understand their situation, they won't have any malicious intentions.
Explaining your predicament clearly might earn you some help from Huang Zhao, considering you're both human.
After listening to Yang Lan's words, Huang Zhao felt that the population structure of this settlement was almost the same as that of the original Dawn City.
However, they lacked a unified voice and instead focused their efforts separately, with three captains.
The survivors in the settlement may not necessarily obey their orders.
It's called a gathering place, but it's more like a refugee camp, where people just stick together for warmth and have no sense of belonging.
They were using the settlement as a temporary shelter, not as a home after the apocalypse.
Just like when faced with the threat of wolves, most people chose to flee rather than defend their settlement.
If the same situation were to occur in Dawn City now, Huang Zhao believes that at least half of the members would be willing to stay and resist the wolf pack.
And this is precisely the goal he has been striving to achieve for Dawn City.
......
Huang Zhao pointed at the crowd that had turned back to the gathering place with some doubt, and said mercilessly:
"The people you're protecting don't seem to consider this place their home."
"Well, it's not easy for anyone. We finally managed to escape from the zombie horde."
Yang Lan replied somewhat awkwardly, without blaming the escaped survivors too much.
Huang Zhao wanted to carefully consider Yang Lan's character before deciding whether to put his idea into practice.
In his spiritual perception, he saw some things that puzzled him and needed to be explained.
"May I come in and take a look at your settlement?"
"Of course, welcome to the Gold Market Gathering Place. This is a name we chose ourselves."
In fact, there are already four or five such gathering places outside our Jinshi City.
However, our scale is the largest, with a total of over four thousand people.
Speaking of this, Yang Lan was still somewhat proud, as most of the people in the gathering place were initially brought out by him from the gold market.
However, after others joined, he chose to serve as the settlement's defender and did not go out to rescue other survivors.
Yang Lan thought of Lin Mo and the others who joined later, and clenched her fist, but she didn't show it while entertaining Huang Zhao.
Huang Zhao told Jin Gang to stay there and wait for him, while he and Yang Lan went to the gathering place alone.
Finally, we sat down in a simple three-story building.
Here, Huang Zhao could already cover the entire settlement with his mental perception.
"Still don't know how to address a brother?"
"Chen Run".
"Brother Chen, what's going on with the mutated beast horde outside...?"
Inside the small building, Huang Zhao chatted casually with Battalion Commander Zhao, trying to find out information about each other.
He didn't even remove his helmet, showing no intention of engaging in any deeper conversation with them.
In reality, Huang Zhao's attention was already focused on various parts of the city, learning about the situation in this gathering place.
This settlement is about the same size as Dawn City, but it has not been properly planned at all. With only a little over three thousand people, it already feels somewhat crowded.
Within the settlement, two rather distinctive buildings can be clearly seen.
One of them is the small building where he is now, with guards on all four sides of the roof.
The surrounding area was inhabited by members of Yang Lan's team, who dispersed to patrol various areas after returning to the city.
Another place that Huang Zhao considers special is because it contains many women.
Moreover, they are all women with excellent figures, who would score over 80 points before the apocalypse.
They were all dressed lightly and idly inside the building.
The several small buildings next to this main building were probably the granaries of this settlement, and they were guarded by many armed men.
The survivors in other parts of the settlement were mostly the elderly, the infirm, and women.
But instead of staying at home, he assisted other young adults outside the gathering place with whatever he could do.
In addition, Huang Zhao also discovered that the food in the other survivors' dwellings in the settlement was not plentiful.
If the homeowner doesn't go out to forage for food, they will soon run out of food.
Most of the people in the settlement had worried expressions and showed no signs of joy.
Seeing this, Huang Zhao asked calmly:
"I wonder how the food is distributed here?"
"Captain Lin Mo is in charge of searching for food, and the food that is found is now being distributed by them."
Normally, each survivor in the settlement receives a normal day's worth of food.
Yang Lan still seemed somewhat proud when she said this.
Not only did they rescue a large number of survivors, but they also ensured their basic food supply.
If Huang Zhao knew what he was thinking, she would only laugh at him for not knowing how to manage.
If more and more survivors believe that they can receive help without having to pay a price.
If things continue like this, it will only breed a bunch of parasites, and it's destined not to last long.
Based on the previous conversation, Huang Zhao asked again:
"You seemed to have mentioned earlier that Lin Mo and his group joined the Jinshi gathering place later."
Were they all very strong when they arrived?
Yang Lan was somewhat embarrassed by this, but still replied:
"Yes, they arrived at the gathering place about three days ago."
They even clashed with Battalion Commander Zhao, who had awakened supernatural abilities in the military, but they ultimately won.
Later, we split into three teams, each responsible for building security around the settlement, collecting and distributing supplies, hunting zombies, and rescuing survivors, respectively.
"They must all be evolved beings who absorbed crystal energy. So, it turns out you weren't all unaware of this secret after all..."
Huang Zhao said in a low voice, so much so that even Yang Lan didn't hear him clearly.
Having finished their conversation, Huang Zhao had a general understanding of the situation at this gathering place and decided not to ask any further questions.
More than half an hour has passed since we encountered the wolf pack, which is a bit too long.
Before Yang Lan could ask any more questions, Huang Zhao said to him seriously:
"Captain Yang, I won't stay here any longer."
I have an idea. Listen to it first, and then pass it on to the other two captains.
Upon hearing Huang Zhao's words, Yang Lan dared not delay and quickly replied:
"Speaking."
Putting aside the wolf pack outside, Huang Zhao's lack of fear upon entering the settlement clearly demonstrated his confidence in his own strength.
All of this is enough to make Yang Lan pay close attention.
"The wolf pack outside was one I encountered on the road. They need a lot of food, otherwise they cannot sustain the consumption of their pack."
Before Huang Zhao could finish speaking, Yang Lan thought Huang Zhao had come to ask for food, and immediately stood up excitedly, wanting to refuse.
"Don't get excited. I'm not asking you for so much food. Let me finish!"
I brought them here with the intention of letting them hunt zombies in Hangzhou for food.
The zombies are numerous and feed on humans; a pack of wolves could significantly reduce their numbers.
