In Zhang Xiao Qiang's fleet, the pressure of survival wasn't as great as outside. If any of the women were to get pregnant, it would be the fleet that would be in trouble. If it was in the hot springs, it wouldn't matter. However, in the dangerous base, it was better to avoid trouble.
Zhang Xiaoqiang remembered the paratroopers. As long as that thing could be repaired, it should not be a problem to deal with the big fish. Thinking back, he used the Lu Dun 2000 to deal with the Great Blackbird. High-speed and heavy firepower was the trump card against mutated beasts.
In the end, the crowd was suppressed by Zhang Huai'an. After all, they did not want to lose their jobs. Most of them had an indifferent attitude. Only a few of the men and women turned pale. They looked around guiltily and sighed in relief when they saw that no one was paying attention.
"Actually, I don't want to care. There are few people in the base, and we have done a good job in promoting contraception. Although we are not afraid that the children will become zombies after getting pregnant, we can't bring thousands of pregnant women with us when we return to the base.
Besides, the hardworking civilians in the base are still working hard to find a wife. We have just recruited logistics personnel, and each of them has a harem. Don't you think it's appropriate? "
As for the single mothers, Zhang Huai'an's rule was that the camp must remain pure. If a woman was found to be hooking up with another man, she would be chased out of the camp immediately. At the same time, he also announced that if a woman became pregnant, she would also be chased out of the camp.
"How is the repair of the paratroopers going?
When will it be completed? "
Zhang Huai'an finally felt relieved. Some things were actually very simple. Zhang Huai'an had thought about it from the beginning and naturally thought that it would be difficult. Zhang Xiaoqiang, on the other hand, was worried about the thousands of women in their prime. He thought about making arrangements for them every day and finally came up with the idea of growing vegetables.
People began to trade in the market outside the camp. Because of caution, the people who came to trade did not go to the food exchange point to exchange for food stamps. They preferred to trade with them. The camp remained silent about this situation. The trade was still small. When the big trade started, it would no longer be realistic to bring the food with them.
Now, the only thing in front of the fleet was the big fish. After dealing with the big fish, they would be able to recover the island in the middle of the lake and obtain the resources on it. Looking at Liu Zhenghua and Qian Kaixi, there were at least thousands of tons of food on the island. Perhaps the real source of the chaos was the food on the island.
Seeing Zhang Huai'an glaring at him from the stage, Zhang Xiaoqiang laughed involuntarily. He was very pleased that Zhang Huai'an was willing to take the blame. Zhang Xiaoqiang had no other choice. In the camp, women would do their best to avoid getting pregnant. Even if they were born, they might not be able to raise the child. Rather than suffer, it was better not to give birth.
Zhang Huai'an panicked when he heard this. He was in charge of everything, but he could not control other people's crotches. The camp was so big. If a man and a woman hooked up, they could just find a corner and lie down. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
Following that, Zhang Huai'an made another announcement, causing an uproar among the crowd. At the meeting, Zhang Huai'an announced the rules of the base. All the men in the logistics department had to bring their wives to the camp. In the future, they could only have one woman. If they wanted to find another woman, then they would have to leave the camp with their two women to find a way to survive on their own.
The crowd below was discussing fervently, but Zhang Huai'an was not afraid at all. He stared at the thousands of pairs of eyes below him. In order to not find milk powder for thousands of babies, what was a small grievance?
"Yes, they said there was no food. I could tell that they were lying to me. At that time, Liu Zhenghua almost agreed to give me ten tons of food. It was that bastard Qian Kaixi who interrupted and changed the topic. Later, when we talked about the island in the middle of the lake, they all looked forward to it. It seems that those officials took away a lot of food."
Thinking of the big fish, Zhang Xiaoqiang recalled the desperate scenes on the island in the middle of the lake and the appearance of the giant fish breaking through the two traps one after another.
After Zhang Huai'an announced the manpower needed for the vegetable garden, the women who had been worried that they would have to eat for free were relieved. As long as they could get a job, as long as the camp still needed them to work, they would not worry that the camp would drive them away.
"Wait, you can't just pay attention to the superficial work. You can't relax the control of the personnel either. Nowadays, there are ten times more women than men. It's hard to say what some people will think. Not only men, but also women. Everyone has needs. I don't want any bullshit to happen in the camp."
After half a month of construction, the defensive buildings of the camp were basically formed. After the construction of the camp wall was completed, the original construction workers were divided into two groups. One group built various buildings in the camp, such as bathhouses, classrooms, warehouses, and dormitories. The other group helped the women to level the land, dig wells, and reservoirs, and prepare for the transformation of the vegetable garden.
"I thought it was something difficult. Have you ever thought about why wild vegetables can grow by the lake while grass can't grow anywhere else?
To put it bluntly, it's a problem of water. The last heavy rain was half a year ago, right?
It hasn't rained for half a year. It would be strange if grass could grow. You can ask people to dig more wells and ask Wang Le to make some hand pumps. Ask the women to specially assign some people to hold the water. "
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not have any good ideas. He discussed with Zhang Huai'an in a low voice. In the end, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Zhang Huai'an laughed together. Their laughter spread out of the tent and made the team members guarding in front of the tent shudder.
"It's still being repaired. Some important parts are missing. Wang Le is getting people to make it by hand. The progress is not fast. I think it will take at least half a month."
Zhang Huai'an was very familiar with the affairs of the gathering place. His words were clear and logical.
Zhang Xiao Qiang's words scared Zhang Huai An. It wasn't because of the problem of the harem, nor was it because of the dangers of the journey back to the base. It was because of the thousands of pregnant women, how were they going to feed their children?
He, Zhang Huai'an, did not need to do anything else in the future. He only needed to focus on finding milk powder. Was it possible?
Zhang Xiaoqiang asked Zhang Huai'an. The radio was too important. It was related to the next step of his plan. If it was really like that, they would have to make a new plan. At least, they would not be able to get the emergency supplies that they needed the most.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, this is a very serious problem. Tell me what to do. I will listen to you. I will resolutely carry out your decision without any hesitation."
The more Zhang Huai'an thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea. He was a little anxious. He wanted to go out and make arrangements, so he bade farewell to Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's bold words, Zhang Huai'an had a difficult expression on his face. There were a lot of fields around the lake in the past. Unfortunately, after the apocalypse, the weather was unpredictable. Unless they used a large greenhouse to grow vegetables. If they followed Zhang Xiaoqiang's suggestion to build a large vegetable base, not only would it be difficult to find the raw materials to make the greenhouse, the construction of the ditches would also be a problem. Most of the ditches were abandoned. Even if they were by the lake, the water source was a big problem.
Hearing Zhang Huai'an's complaints, Zhang Xiaoqiang laughed. He smiled and said to Zhang Huai'an.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Zhang Huai'an in surprise.
The paratroopers were still being repaired. It was still a long time before they could clean up the big fish in the lake. On the other hand, the three factions had started to distribute porridge to the poor. Although it was not a lot, it allowed the starving poor to take a breather. The number of people who risked their lives to look for food had also decreased. It seemed that the living conditions in the settlement had improved.
Early in the morning, Zhang Huai An gathered all the adults in the camp and held an expanded meeting in the open-air restaurant. Other than the thousands of new single mothers, all the logistics staff and even the combat team members who were recuperating were present. At the meeting, Zhang Huai An made the work arrangements and announced that the vegetable garden project was about to begin.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, I have no choice. If they want to do it, then let them do it. Why do we care so much?
Moreover, what kind of world is it now?
Which one of those women hasn't slept with a man before?
I think it's better for me to control the little ones first. "
"Go do what you need to do. The most important thing now is to build a good defense so that we are invincible. The rest can be delayed for now. The construction site doesn't need thousands of people to work blindly. Get the women with the children to level the land behind the camp. Don't we have a lot of vegetable seeds?
Get them to plant vegetables. Also, get people to build a few large public offices in the settlement and find some people to make fertilizer for us. I want to build a large vegetable base here. "
Zhang Huai'an couldn't think of a solution. After some hesitation, he told Zhang Huai'an about his difficulties.
"Are you sure?
Is it really on the island? "
