"Leader..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "Many of us have not eaten for more than 24 hours. In this case, even if we want to go out to find supplies, we do not have the ability. We have been rushing to the road and dare not rest in the middle. Everyone is physically and mentally exhausted..."

Xie Tian nodded. From their expressions and expressions, it can be seen that what the man said was not a lie. Xie Tian pondered for a moment and said, "The safety zone can give each of you a pound of food, and then from tomorrow, you have to find a way to find supplies. We have experienced in going to the city to find supplies. Overall, safety and feasibility are very good. So, if you decide to go out to find supplies, the safety zone can provide you with some heavy equipment. In addition, I can send up to 50 soldiers and an intravenous combat vehicle to protect your safety."

Immediately, Xie Tian asked again: "How are your own weapons equipped?"

"I have a gun, I'll participate!" A man in his thirties raised his hand and said, "I'll sign up now!"

Immediately, some other people with guns and equipment raised their hands. Xie Tian counted. Among the 1,500 people, 110 of them had weapons, but most of them were old-fashioned pistols, and the firepower was not very strong.

Xie Tian fell into deep thought. More than a thousand people were basically in a situation of zero supplies. Even if he immediately organized them to start looking for supplies in the city, the current heavy vehicles could at most organize a team of about 200 people. More than 200 people went to the city to look for supplies. The remaining people would be hungry. Even if they took turns every day, it would take at least one week to complete the round. How should the last group of people survive in the previous six days?

After a while, he did not come up with a suitable result. Xie Tian could only temporarily suppress this matter, arrange the more than a thousand people first, and then think about others.

Thinking that survivors carrying firearms will cause unstable factors to the safe area, Xie Tian said: "In the safe area, no one is allowed to carry firearms except soldiers and joint defense personnel. We will not forcefully confiscate firearms. However, if you have weapons among you, you must keep your weapons well. As long as they are still in the safe area, as long as the safety area is not attacked, weapons are not allowed to be carried or taken out. Once discovered, all weapons will be confiscated and unconditional labor will be fined for another seven working days. The labor punishment is not allowed to be paid, and they can be executed in installments. Those who disobey will be expelled from the safe area. Is there any problem?"

"No." These people all came out of Changsha's security zone, and they all knew that the government-controlled security zones have extremely strict requirements on the weapons of survivors. Basically, they have to be thoroughly searched before entering, and all weapons will be confiscated. Xie Tian does not want to follow the practice of the government's security zone. Too strict constraints and oppression for survivors will often have the opposite effect. Therefore, adopt such a curved route to save the country, and first talk about ugly words. Those who are conscious will be at peace with each other and are not conscious. Then, if you use your iron fist, you will not be afraid that others will feel dissatisfied.

Xie Tian immediately said: "Others can be responsible for supervision. If someone carries weapons with him in the safe area, he can go to the Ministry of Public Security to report anonymously. Once verified, half a pound of rice tickets will be rewarded."

Anyway, if you report one, you can collect a weapon reasonably, and you can also punish 7 days of voluntary labor. The reward of half a kilogram of rice is considered very superior.

He explained the management regulations of the safety zone to these people, and then Xie Tian asked the soldiers to lead these people to the dormitory area and arranged all the remaining housing in the dormitory area to them. The remaining 200 people had no place to arrange it, so he moved out more than ten tents and set up a large open space in front of the dormitory building.

In order to prevent them from having problems with hunger as soon as they entered the safe zone, Xie Tian distributed a kilo of rice to everyone as a subsidy and lived a tight life. This kilogram of rice is enough for them to last for two days. Within two days, they must find a way to make a reasonable arrangement so that these people can be self-sufficient.

"Brother Xie." Li Xiaohe spent half a day to complete the statistics of the new recruits and found Xie Tian. He reported: "Excluding 83 elderly people and children, among the remaining 1,438 people, there are 326 women and 1,112 men. There are so many people, have you figured out how to solve their future meal problems?"

Xie Tian sighed and said, "So many people, relying on our little material reserves, it is estimated that they will be exhausted in less than a month. Moreover, the total strength of the newly absorbed combat personnel can barely reach 300 people. They are soldiers, they have to be on duty, train and rest. I cannot let them go to the city to search for supplies frequently, so these people can only support themselves, just Xiaohe. I thought about it. As for now, every time I go to two hundred people, how should the remaining people live? Do you have any good solutions?"

Li Xiaohe thought for a moment and said, "Can we expand the scale of the team so that they can get more people at once?"

Xie Tian shook his head and said, "Even if they are asked to go all of them, the situation of their weapons and equipment and vehicles will increase greatly once they enter the city. Our heavy equipment is limited, so for them not to die in vain, there is the largest number of 200 people at a time."

Li Xiaohe pursed her lips and thought for a while before saying, "Otherwise, Brother Xie, you treat them as a group. Aren't there 1,438 people who want to support themselves? Then divide them into 7 teams. These seven teams take turns to the city to look for supplies, but they share the supplies they found."

"Oh, I understand!" The fog in Xie Tian's heart instantly dissipated and he smiled: "You are managing them as a group, just like soldiers who are on duty, the actions of going to the city to find materials are taken turns, but as a collective, the distribution of materials is also collectively owned, and the materials obtained are enjoyed by the collective every time."

"Yes." Li Xiaohe said: "If this happens, it should be solved. After all, there is nothing unfair. Everyone has to go early and late, and take turns every seven times."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "Then we will start grouping them tomorrow and let them take turns to the city."

That night, Song Hui and the others monitored the situation in the dormitory building, but did not find any trace of the thief. However, Xie Tian was not in a hurry. He expected that this person would appear, but it might not be the day when he lied and announced that he had found the thief. So as long as he waited patiently, he would definitely surface.

The next morning, Xie Tian gathered more than 1,400 new people. The first thing he did was to ask the people who could use guns among them to stand up. After statistics, there were 312 people in total.

Immediately, Xie Tian made an equal distribution, and 1,438 people were divided into 7 teams, each with 205-206 people. Among them, each team was distributed equally by 312 people who could use firearms, about 44-45 people, and each team was distributed equally by 326 women, about 46-47 people. In this way, the strength of each team was basically the same. Then, Xie Tian asked each team to send a representative to draw lots for each team. The number he caught represents the team number and the number of his own team.

The morale of the first team who drew the number 1 was obviously a little low. Xie Tian saw their concerns and said, "Don't worry, in addition to fifty soldiers and an infantry chariot as your defensive force, before you set off, the safety zone will give 44-45 people in each team who can use firearms, equipped with automatic weapons and bullets, further enhancing your overall strength."

This made everyone feel much more at ease. In this way, fifty soldiers, plus more than 40 weapons survivors, a team can guarantee about 100 combat personnel. At this time, Xie Tian changed his mind and said, "However, providing vehicles, soldiers, and weapons to you are all resources in the safe zone. In addition, the army is supported by the safe zone. Therefore, the safety zone will draw 30% of the materials obtained from each operation to maintain the development of the safe zone, and the rest will be owned by you collectively."

After all, the safety zone provides the most important heavy vehicles, guns and ammunition, as well as soldiers' help, which greatly increases their success rate, so 30% are drawn, and these people have no objection.

Xie Tian continued: "The last time we went to the city to look for supplies, the various food supplies we harvested at one time were about five tons and five tons of food. After deducting 30%, there are 3...5 tons of food. These 3...5 tons of food are enough for you, more than 1,400 people to eat for five days. In other words, the rotation cycle of your seven teams is at least one month. It also explains that each person only needs to work hard once a month to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing."

After this calculation, everyone's expressions eased a lot. In the past, they had to worry about food and risk it every day, but now, they may only need to take risks once a month, which is nothing unacceptable.

Xie Tian called Shunzi and others to explain the movement methods of concave fonts in detail to ensure that they thoroughly understand the pattern of most vehicles blocking and small parts of vehicles carrying. Once they are ready, they can set out early tomorrow morning.

In order to further ensure the safety of these people when they go to the city to find supplies, Xie Tian specially asked the welders to gather together. A very strong iron cage was welded above the cab of the excavator. The so-called iron cage has a diameter of at least five centimeters and a gap of no more than five centimeters. The central position in front of the iron cage was about ten centimeters wide and fifty centimeters long. Then, Xie Tianming men placed an anti-aircraft machine gun in and fixed it. The remaining space could allow one person to sit in it safely as a shooter.
