Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Seven

Elder Joseph is a staunch defender of the sanctuary, and his impassioned speech made the soldiers under him unite and unite again. But when the scene calmed down, he felt worried.

"The enemy is more cunning than we imagined. The personnel they exchanged were some of the past social elites, but many ordinary people did not want to leave."

"I think they have a strong purpose. They are not random gangsters, but rather some kind of government organization. But they are very different from the Brotherhood of Steel before, so people can't figure out their specific purpose."

"However, I think we should stick to the bottom line and not be easily affected by the other party's strange behavior. As long as the refuge is in our hands, everything will not be too bad."

In the private discussion of the elders, Elder Joseph firmly stated that he would try his best to fight for the interests of the shelter, and then he led more than 500 people to the temporary camp of the armed convoy.

That's right, there are indeed more than five hundred people. This number far exceeded Elder Joseph's expectations, and even made him very annoyed. Originally, he only planned to bring one or two hundred people, but unexpectedly many people appeared in the refuge and asked to leave.

Your Excellency the Elder can appease the soldiers in the refuge, but the soldiers are not the lowest and most miserable class in the refuge. Among the more than 4,000 people in the shelter, there are still a large number of low-value people who are considered incapable of doing much work, and the lives of these people are only a little bit better than the abandoned waste groups.

There was news that another faction was willing to recruit people in the refuge, and many people who felt that they would have no future in the refuge wanted to give it a try. And Elder Joseph felt that it would be a good thing to save some food consumption, so he ran out with this huge team.

"If the other party really swallows so many people, then it can also speed up the consumption of its supplies, and the manager can't stand it just by eating it." His Excellency the Elder thought so.

After the daytime trial, this large-scale human trade was carried out at night. Under the cover of darkness, people can't see the whole picture of the surroundings clearly, only the crackling torches illuminate the road. Everyone walks slowly.

Many people with weak constitutions were exhausted after walking two kilometers. When they first arrived outside the temporary camp, everyone's eyes widened and their faces were blank. When did such a modern place appear near the refuge?

Elder Joseph was also a little confused. He only saw the bright lights of this temporary camp last night, but he didn't expect that it would be transformed into a small community after only one more day. The clean roads and lights alone have a huge visual impact, which surprised all the people who came here.

"How did you do it?" Elder Joseph pointed to the high-power lights hanging around the camp, and asked the butcher who came to trade, "Where do you get the power supply? Where do you get the fuel?"

It has been almost a year since the end of the world, and the fuel that can be collected has long been exhausted. And due to the lack of fuel, the heating in the shelter is troublesome, the diesel generator has not worked for a long time, and the lighting system is in a state of disuse. This is also the reason why it is difficult for people in the shelter to take a bath. Everyone can only carefully burn some wood stoves to keep warm, and worry about ventilation.

"We have a small pot camel generator that burns wood to generate electricity." The butcher only said something vague, so he would not tell others that he can take a shower, use electricity, and drive around at will because the head of the legion brought With a power of 1,500 kilowatts, a 'nuclear fusion battery' that generates electricity non-stop.

This battery is a big killer. It guarantees the energy supply of the team and gives everyone the ability to move around.

But when he heard that someone else had a potted generator, Elder Joseph was so envious that he wanted to cry. In order to generate electricity in their shelter, a motor was converted into a generator, and people rode sports bikes to charge the batteries.

But even if the cyclist is exhausted, there is only a little power supply, which is only enough for external communication and a small amount of electronic equipment, and a large number of other electrical equipment are all in a shutdown state.

"The pot camel generator, what an old thing!" Elder Joseph sighed,

The pot camel machine is really old. It was a broken thing more than a hundred years ago, but it is practical! Not fussy about fuel, easy to operate, easy to maintain, great stuff.

It was amazing to see how bright the campsite was last night. Now that they heard that a camel machine was used to generate electricity, Elder Joseph immediately wanted one. Anyway, firewood is better than oil. He tentatively asked: "Your pot camel machine..., do you sell it?"

When you ask this question, Your Excellency the Elder has already prepared the other party's words of rejection in his heart. Although the pot camel machine is not a high-tech thing, it is absolutely impossible to do it without some machining ability. If this thing is in the refuge, it will be a proper military weapon, and it will not be easily shown to others.

"Hahaha... Do you want it? No problem, as long as you allow us to stay in your shelter for a while, we will give you one." The butcher said happily, very generously.

asshole……!

Your Excellency the Elder almost nodded in agreement, but fortunately his consciousness was sober and firm. He thought to himself: This group of guys with unknown origins are really 'death to death', racking their brains to enter our refuge, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Hmph... Elder Joseph seemed to have seen through the other party's trick again, and said in a nasal voice arrogantly, "Let's talk about the 'population for medicine'."

The butcher is not bothered about this kind of rejection in disguise. As soon as he waved his hand, the camp guards let more than 500 people in one after another, and then screened them one by one. Keep the useful ones and send away the useless ones.

If all of them stayed, maybe the people who were exchanged were really worried about whether they would be eaten as food. But this obvious difference in treatment made joining the temporary camp a precious opportunity.

Instead, those who were eliminated were extremely frustrated and wailed and asked to join. And those who were chosen to stay were also full of joy, although they didn't understand why they were left behind.

For those who make trouble and want to enter the camp, the action team will drive them out without hesitation. Elder Joseph felt very uncomfortable about this. In his opinion, the refuge is the best, safest and happiest living area in the world. Only when he ruthlessly drove others out, he didn't expect that there were still people crying and shouting to leave and join another organization.

It's abominable!

In this large-scale population transaction, the action team took in more than 300 people, some of whom were even elderly people and weak women. These people are often those who joined the shelter early, and Elder Joseph did not drive them out out of order and fairness.

But these people are often unable to do much, and have become a heavy burden in the shelter. If this group of people in the past asked to leave, Your Excellency the Elder would be greatly relieved. But now seeing these people being taken in in a serious manner, and even protected, he felt inexplicably anxious.

Elder Joseph saw with his own eyes that several of the traded personnel received preferential treatment immediately after confirming their identities. A special doctor ran out to check their bodies, and even immediately assigned them servants to take care of them changing clothes and washing their bodies. Such favors often result in tears of gratitude from those who suffer.

And similarly, those who are grateful even include Elder Joseph himself. A young Asian man ran out of the camp, took the initiative to hold his hand, and said very seriously: "Elder Joseph, I just learned that your shelter housed several members of the National Academy of Sciences.

I sincerely thank you for everything you have done to protect these famous scientific researchers, which will play a huge role in the continuation of scientific civilization in the future. You just mentioned that you want a Guotuo machine, no problem, I decided to give you one. "

Elder Joseph had a strange expression on his face.

No matter how you look at it, this deal is a big loss! (To be continued.)
