Chapter 239： Opportunity is near

The most troublesome thing about the scattered survivors is the number of ants.

Earlier, Kent heard Master introduce the various forces of Herto, and it turned out that the Durut Sanctuary has less than a thousand people, and the most populous Faman Sanctuary is only more than two thousand people. This is still a large shelter.

The five shelters added up, plus the scattered small shelters, how many people are there in Herto? Ten thousand? Or 20,000?

You must know that before the end of the day, Herto had a population of tens of millions. Even if some of them were actually rural residents, the population of the rural areas was scattered and the density was very small, which could not be compared with the urban area. Even if the population figures of those towns and villages are eliminated, Herto's population within the urban area is still tens of millions.

A population of tens of millions, even if it has experienced the double strike of zombies and nuclear bombs, it is absolutely impossible that there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people left.

As soon as Master explained, he realized that in addition to those large and small shelters, there are still a large number of scattered survivors in Herto. Some of them have a foothold, and some do not even have a foothold. They are completely wandering in the complex underground facilities of Herto.

is also talking about it, how can a city with a population of tens of millions of people die with a zombie virus and a nuclear bomb explosion and only two to three million people are left, playing around?

The stage where humans in this world suffer the most deaths and injuries is actually the spreading stage of the zombie virus. Because at that time, everyone did not pay enough attention to this virus. As a result, a large number of healthy people were unknowingly infected. When the virus broke out and turned living people into zombies, more than 90% of the people could not be saved. Calculated on the basis of a 90% conversion rate, a city with tens of millions of people can live a million people no matter what. Even if calculated at ninety-nine percent, 100,000 people can survive.

The subsequent nuclear bomb explosion, to be honest, not many people died directly in the nuclear explosion.

Because of the people who are still alive after experiencing the zombie virus, they cannot be said to be human spirits, but they are not bad. At that time, the order of the federal government had not completely collapsed, and government broadcasting existed. The news of the nuclear explosion was transmitted through broadcasting. At that time, the survivors, no matter how difficult their lives were, they would not relax with information from the outside world. . Even a very small number of people who fail to get the news in the first place will hear it from others.

The lethality of nuclear weapons is naturally strong enough, but as long as appropriate protective measures are taken, it is not difficult to avoid most of the damage.

The easiest way is to hide underground.

What is 　　 air-raid shelter?

Air-raid shelters are used to defend against nuclear weapons.

Of course, air-raid shelters were first used to avoid air raids. The initial form was not a special underground facility. The first ones that acted like air-raid shelters were actually civilian basements, similar to cellars.

In the later period, government departments intervened and used government projects to build various underground facilities to avoid air raids in places that might come at any time. After further evolution, not only has the ability to resist nuclear weapons, but also divided many functional areas in underground facilities, such as underground farms, such as underground hospitals.

The world was still under war a hundred years ago. At that time, the major countries in the world often lost nuclear weapons to each other. Therefore, the air-raid shelters in this world are more comprehensive and strong, and the walls and construction materials of the buildings were added during construction. Many steel bars and metal materials can effectively block the radiation impact generated during a nuclear explosion. As for the power of the explosion itself, there are so many underground facilities in Herto, so strong, as long as it is not near the explosion point, basically it is not a big problem.

Human beings are a very strange creature. When there are no foreign enemies, human beings fight each other, cruel and cold-blooded than any other creatures known in the world.

But once there is an external threat, human beings know how to group together, and the degree of unity is simply unbelievable.

As the nuclear explosion is about to happen, the survivors of Herto gather in various air-raid shelters underground in the city. Everyone has food and water to drink together to get through the initial difficulties together.

Although these people left the underground facilities one after another after the most dangerous period of nuclear explosions passed, went outside, and set up one after another small shelters, but the previous unity allowed many people to survive.

As for the five shelters, they were established before the nuclear explosion and seized the dominant terrain. They didn't hide underground when the nuclear explosion arrived, and that's why they have the situation they are today.

However, the total number of people in the five major shelters is up to 20,000 to 30,000 people. Those small shelters do not add up to that many people, so the number of homeless survivors is actually more than the number of survivors in the shelters. Much more, but compared to the survivors in the shelter, they are more free and undisciplined. They would rather endure hardships and risk rather than join the shelter and be controlled by others.

Therefore, when faced with large shelters, these people have no advantage in fighting alone, but there are too many of them, and large shelters are unwilling to provoke them. After all, once you are really offended, and once the idea of ​​​​suffering in the hearts of the vagrant survivors who originally sent you the umbrella, the number of vagrant survivors who will unite at that time will absolutely crush all the shelters in Herto, and then that This is a big trouble.

After clarifying the relationship here, Kent had a better understanding of the situation in Herto.

At this moment, his gaze swept across the surrounding dark corners at will, temporarily identifying a few temporary residences for the survivors of the wandering, but on the surface there was nothing unusual, and he still reprimanded his team members while walking, occasionally saying Angrily, he also raised his leg and kicked it. The kicked person is not angry, at most he scratches his head and laughs twice.

The previous battle with alien beasts actually closed the relationship between them invisibly. There is no feeling, and it can be so strong than being born together. Kent doesn’t feel much as a captain, because he is used to it, but It's different for those team members. They rarely act collectively, suddenly feel the feeling of collective action, and kill a terrifying monster. Although some companions died, they survived. After the excitement and blood boiled, the team members who calmed down gained a sense of identity with their own team. This is a combination of their recognition and sense of accomplishment after they defeated a powerful enemy together.

In short, with this sense of identity, everyone actually has no opinion on Kent's leadership.

Including the previous confrontation on the mountainside, in fact, to put it bluntly, even if there is no backing behind the Otto Sanctuary, it is impossible for these team members to shoot black guns at Kent just because they want to be lazy or something.

And the main reason why Kent took the gun is to let people who want to be lazy to completely lose their chances. He used the weapon in his hand to prove his determination, telling those who want to be lazy, that it is okay to be lazy, I simply let you fall asleep completely, and there is no need to worry about this kind of thing in the future.

At that time, the atmosphere was relatively frozen, but both sides knew that no one could actually shoot because of a moment of excitement. This was a very simple little tacit understanding.

The group of people continued to move forward. Kent didn't observe the surroundings and wrote down the locations of all the scattered survivors, and only waited for the next time they came out, which was the day they acted.

……

On the other side, the new batch of drugs in the Otto Sanctuary has been loaded into the car, and it didn't take long to leave the sanctuary and drove towards the Farman Sanctuary.

However, none of them noticed, and it was not long after the car drove away that they had been spotted by a group of people.

This group of people are not others, it is Master and his party who have been hiding around, staring at the Otto Sanctuary. They have been lurking here for a month. Their only job every day is to stare at the door of the Otto Sanctuary to see when their cars come out, how many cars come out each time, how many goods they pull, and where they go.

Of course, it is impossible for Otto Sanctuary to only trade with Faman. How much fire can Faman eat no matter how big his appetite is? What's more, Farman may not have what Otto needs, so Otto is actually dealing with multiple parties at the same time, including not only large customers like Faman, but also many small shelters, which are small customers. . Even just three days ago, Master discovered the scene where Otto was trading with those scattered survivors. Of course Otto couldn't deal with the scattered survivors one by one, he couldn't afford to spend that time and energy. And if you directly delineate the trading location and trade by opening a shop... it is easy to go wrong, and scattered survivors don't trust their large shelters, so there must be an intermediary in the middle.

The casual survivor who traded with Otto played the role of a middleman. He matched Otto and the vast number of scattered survivors and earned a certain amount of channel fees. Although each of them did not earn much, he was better than others. The long flow of water accumulates less, and the great advantage of doing this is that he can use this kind of transaction to register with Otto, and at the same time, he can also gain some fame among the three survivors. If something other than that happens in the future , He can choose to bet at both ends and make some choices that are more beneficial to him.

In short, this kind of people, including those small shelters, Master has explored almost during this time, but this is not their goal.

It’s not that the Masters are so good that they don’t want to use these people to complete their tasks. In fact, they can’t do it.

Master is now also a member of Ankai Sanctuary, and he is willing to do everything for the development of his own sanctuary. If only to provoke the contradiction between Otto and these trading parties, even if a group of people would die, even if there were many innocent people among the dead, he would definitely be able to do it. However, the problem is that it is unrealistic to expect these people to fight Otto.

They are crowded and powerful, but they are too scattered. Otto dare not offend these scattered people too much. There must be a kind of caution in it, but this is not the reason for Otto to retreat without a bottom line.

In fact, retail investors are also very sensible. They will not cross the boundary easily. Even if they cross the boundary, they will only pick up corners and corners to pick up. The truly valuable and valuable ones will remain in place, even Someone will take the initiative to send a letter to Otto, asking Otto's people to come and take the supplies away.

The balance between the two sides is fragile, but at the same time very strong.

Weakness is because Otto’s own creditworthiness can be ignored at all, and the scattered survivors are too scattered, and there is no real leader, so what long-term peace treaty can really be expected between them? That is impossible. However, both parties are not fools, Otto will let his own people converge, and the scattered survivors will not do things completely. The result is that both sides are very tacitly maintaining the current relationship, even if someone accidentally overdos it. A little bit, as long as it is not too much, basically it will not cause any trouble.

Just like the scattered survivors are definitely not going to hijack the cart, and the people in the Otto Sanctuary will not specifically target the scattered survivors, so if there is any accident, it is very likely that someone deliberately made a ghost.

So the more things like this, the more they can’t do it.

On the other side, on the contrary, the other end of the seemingly strong alliance, Faman Sanctuary, is prone to conflict with Otto.

Previously, the members of Master’s team have expressed their incomprehension more than once. Farman and Otto are both large-scale shelters and allies. Even if you don’t consider the relationship of allies, considering their size, many things are often The leaders on both sides are not idiots, even if someone provokes them, wouldn’t they find the problem?

At this, Master just smiled slightly.

"Of course you will find the problem, but the problem is here. You also said that they are all large-scale shelters. Then you should understand that the larger the organization, many times, many things, many decisions, are often not one. Two people can do everything..."

The players under his team are still too young, and often they don’t look at the problem so deeply.

They think that large shelters will consider more comprehensively. This is correct, but they think that large shelters will not easily use force. This is wrong.

Between the large shelters is a situation where conflicts are not easy to use, but are often easy to use force. They are not easy to use force. It is indeed a manifestation of calm and rationality. However, the larger the shelter Therefore, it is often more and more not one person has the final say. It is like the Odo Sanctuary, Odo is the boss, but the ten confidants below have no say in the development of the sanctuary?

This would not be the case even in the peaceful era, let alone the doomsday era.

Once something touches the interests of one of them, he must make a statement or even make a decision. Whether Otto himself will be involved depends on whether he has a deep relationship with the relevant event. There is also the problem in this hypothesis. The scope of the impact is not large. If one thing, the benefits contained in it, can affect the five of the ten confidants, look at Otto again, can he control it? situation? Even if he wanted to control, the people below him would not agree. The larger the organization, the more complicated its internal environment is, and the more complicated the entanglement of interests, the more difficult it is to sort out forcibly.

Therefore, between the two shelters of Farman and Otto, it is indeed not easy to use force, but as long as you pinch it accurately and hit the painful spot, then the feelings between the two shelters will definitely be broken faster than theirs. The relationship with scattered survivors is even more fragile, and once a "war" is really triggered, even the leaders of the two shelters will be difficult to stop. They can only be trapped by their subordinates and have to participate in it.

And today is the best opportunity in this period of time.
