One of them couldn't bear the terrifying atmosphere, trembling all over and said in fear, "I'll talk, I'll talk, Bro Bao...he feels it's unfair, why can they stay in Oil City, while we are kicked out of Oil City? We're also slaves of the Motorcycle Gang, why do we have to risk being bitten to death by Zombies."
As he spoke, he seed to feel justified, becoming more fluent, and later looked at Li Yu with anger.
Li Yu sighed and shook his head.
He hadn't expected this to be the reason.
It's not about scarcity but rather inequality, a principle that holds true at any ti.
At this mont, people busy on the walls all looked over, and after hearing this man's words, each showed a different expression in their eyes.
Those from the Original Oil City deeply felt that they seed to be much luckier than the others.
"Do you all think this way?" Li Yu straightened up, looked around, and said loudly to the others.
Silence for a few seconds.
Suddenly, soone said nervously, "No, it's not like that, they can't represent everyone. We're already grateful for being rescued, plus we can get substantial food through labor. Honestly, where can you find such good things these days?"
"Yeah, yeah, they're just biting the hand that feeds them, ungrateful!"
"Kill them, kill them, such people are too wicked."
"Kill them."
.....
Initially, there were all sorts of curses against Wan Nian and others, but later everyone was chanting the sa slogan: Kill them!
It seed that they were afraid that Wan Nian and these people's actions would anger Li Yu, so those living outside as Cooperative Personnel distanced themselves.
They even declared that they would beat Wan Nian and his few companions to prove their firm stance.
Very soon, Third Uncle and Li Gang arrived here, listening to Ju Tianrui narrate the events that just happened.
Li Yu scanned the crowd, his deep gaze causing everyone who saw it to have their hearts skip a beat.
Li Yu didn't care about them, he said to Dapao and Yang Tianlong who ca over, "Take them for interrogation, find out if there are any other accomplices."
After speaking, he walked away, continuing towards the wall.
Beside him, Old Bi saw Li Yu's movent and naturally understood Li Yu intended to walk around again.
So he shouted to the halted crowd, "Stop watching, get to work!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone seed to awaken from a dream, resuming their tasks.
But, when Li Yu approached them, they couldn't help but recall the scene they just witnessed, always feeling apprehensive, even afraid to secretly watch Li Yu as before.
Li Yu didn't care about their changes, he continued his work of patrolling around the walls.
In his mind, he was considering that it seems building the Oil City is a long way to go.
Originally, he was hesitating.
When the typhoon cos, whether to let these Cooperative Personnel shelter in Oil City like those in the Big Camphor Tree Base during dangerous tis.
The reason for his hesitation was simple, he feared that when too many people were in Oil City, should so have ulterior motives during a natural disaster or Zombie Tide, complications inside and outside could cause collapse.
Oil City is not like the Big Camphor Tree Base, lacking tall walls and an Outer City. Managing so many people coming in would inevitably be demanding.
But now, Li Yu had an answer.
Unreliable people.
Then there's no need for shelter, it's not the Big Camphor Tree Base over there. This Oil City doesn't need to house so many people or expand influence, as long as it can stably provide oil to the Big Camphor Tree Base in the future, that's enough.
As for other people's life and death, he didn't care.
He never owed them anything.
What happened just now didn't seem to affect Li Yu with any anger, instead it made him determined to resolve his previous dilemma, thus improving his mood quite significantly.
After patrolling, Li Yu pondered a question on the road.
It's evident that those who ambushed him earlier were preditated, certainly having targeted his daily patrol routine.
It seems that things that are too fixed are easily exploited.
Looks like this habit needs to be changed, to be more random. Sotis it will be in the morning, sotis in the evening, sotis at noon.....
anwhile, he also thought of the shift system in the Big Camphor Tree Base, which uses fixed-ti shifts for duty.
It appears the shift system in the Big Camphor Tree Base also needs upgrading, designing it to be more complex, adding so randomness into it. This way, it's harder for people to grasp patterns and exploit them.
Soon, Li Yu returned to the center of Oil City.
Not far from the makeshift conference room, there's a relatively shabby building, supposedly used by pre-Doomsday people as a junk room, dedicated to storing various odds and ends.
Dapao brought the three survivors here as a temporary interrogation room.
When Li Yu walked in, the three were hanging upside down with bare torsos, covered in wounds.
Dapao had one foot on a stool and the other on the ground while sitting.
He held a cigarette, resting.
"Looks like the interrogation is done?" Li Yu stepped in, looking at Dapao and the others.
