Chapter 43 Patience
"Mr. Allen, I hope you can arrange for people to work in the corresponding places tomorrow. If it continues to be delayed, it will violate the agreement made by the gods."
Allen quietly looked at this small gang of only a few dozen people. He could kill them with just a wave of his hand, but they were able to scream in front of his own house. He probably knew who the guys behind them were. They were just Just test yourself through this small group.
"Okay, we will definitely send people there tomorrow, but there is a problem. We have some infectious diseases here now, so many people are sick. If you don't mind, of course we can send people there."
As Allen said, several of his men behind him coughed, and a group of people immediately stayed away, because they all knew very well that at this time, a small cold could be fatal. Although the medicine was being produced, the speed was very slow and Not everyone can get the medicine smoothly.
Most drugs are controlled by gang members. Some ordinary people cannot get drugs at all, and the same goes for some smaller gangs.
Allen's words quickly resolved the current conflict. He knew that this group wanted to cause trouble here, because several groups that had already planned to take action wanted to find a reasonable excuse and then launch an attack. In this case, They will not be charged with provoking war.
"Uncle, I can't bear it anymore. Who are they?"
Nick said angrily, and several of his confidants did the same. As for the small gang in front of them, they only need to dispatch some people, and they can easily deal with them without any difficulty.
Ai Lu laughed and led the people back to the fortress. A group of people seemed unhappy. Although the small gang had some weapons, they could not compare with Allen and the others.
"You said this today, so what will you do tomorrow? Or what will you do later?"
Allen led a kind of person to the observation deck. He pointed at the row of wooden walls in front of him.
"Our current reinforcement progress is less than one-fifth. In order to prevent the other party from noticing, we can only ensure the rear and flanks first, and the front cannot be moved for the time being. We do have a lot of weapons and a lot of people, but once What are you going to do if the front door is lost? Faced with a group of beasts that have lost their minds, what can you do? "
Allen's words made the angry people feel helpless, and Allen continued.
"Our current armed force only has 500 people, while several large gangs add up to four to five thousand people, or even more, which is ten times our number. And the most critical point is that they are not idle, and there are many of them. People with rich combat experience.”
Allen said, pointing to the houses at the foot of the mountain.
"Once the front is breached, we will be unable to defend and everything will be exposed to the enemy's attack. Many of you have family members. How do you plan to arrange them? Or let them join the battle together? Then we have to How many people were lost?”
Nick lowered his head, and so did the other henchmen. During this period, their patience has reached its limit, because they have been targeted by many gang members.
"I can understand your anger, but what we need now is to develop steadily and then continue to grow. I will gather everyone together after dinner later."
Allen had to do this. During this time, many people were very resistant. Because of the relationship between the three deceased people, such anger and sadness had begun to spread in the fortress.
That's why Allen made an excuse to say that many of them were sick and could not go out to work for the time being, because if they went out to work with such emotions, once they were targeted, more conflicts would most likely break out.
And once a conflict breaks out, only your own people will suffer.
As the sun sets, smoke rises from the fortress. The entire fortress is now in a bad situation, far worse than Elu thought.
After dinner, more than 1,000 people came to a small square at the foot of the mountain. Allen explained the pros and cons to everyone, and the family members of the three deceased began to cry.
"It's not that I'm not angry, but I'm extremely angry. But what's the use of anger? It will only make us lose our direction. I promise you that one day we will pay with blood, and we will not let the blood of the three of them be in vain. 's flow.
Allen said after glancing at everyone.
"Tomorrow we have to send people over to continue to help, but I hope everyone will be patient and bow their heads no matter any conflict, whether we are right or wrong, if we don't bow our heads, they will definitely make things more serious. Tomorrow I’ll come along too.”
"Mr. Allen, if we continue to be patient, they will only get more and more aggressive."
"Yes Mr. Allen."
"I feel that although we may be breached, as long as we defend the main entrance of the fortress, they will definitely pay a heavy price."
Listening to these voices, Allen's originally calm expression became angry, and he yelled.
"Hold on to the death? What can you do even if you hold on? One day or two days, a week or a month? Or a year. Once our personnel are reduced, we cannot be replenished, but they are different. Once we take action first, they will only say that we are the culprits who provoked the dispute. We will face the hostility of other ordinary residents, which is a very terrible thing. Everyone has experienced despair, right? It is precisely because everyone has experienced despair that I beg everyone to survive. Only by surviving can we have a future, right?"
The original discussion stopped, and many people nodded unconsciously, because they all knew that what Allen said was right. Many people who followed Allen at the beginning knew that no matter what plan Allen made, surviving was the primary goal.
So many people are willing to follow Allen, because they know that following Allen can live correctly.
"Those who are willing to go tomorrow stand up, I don't need those guys who can't bear it."
In the end, many people stood up, and Allen sternly warned them that they must be patient.
Late at night, Allen sat quietly on the observation deck, looking at the sporadic lights on the grassland.
Although Allen had asked some people to stir up some disputes between the groups, such disputes were too small to cause qualitative changes, which was why Allen could not make up his mind.
Because the current goals of these gangs are very clear, taking down the fortress is their primary goal, and they will not allow a split before taking down the fortress.
In the future, their provocations will intensify further, and Allen knows that he must be patient. The same is true for Jed. Recently, many residents have heard that Jed's gang took away the best things, and it was fair and square.
Needless to say, these things are known to be intentional by some gangs, and what they want to do is self-evident.
But Jed's gang is relatively large, and those big gangs don't want to confront Jed head-on, so they will naturally create some rumors to discredit Jed and his gang.
"I hope there won't be any big problems. Be patient, Jed."
.........
8pm
Under a bright light, one of Jed's men was beating several people in a rage. They had been begging for mercy, but Jed's men were still not giving in. Many people were watching and whispering around.
Because these people were working near the drug factory, they said that Jed and his men had taken a lot of drugs from the factory, which led to the inability to distribute the drugs normally.
"Stop it."
Jed walked over angrily and stopped the atrocities of several men. There were pairs of suspicious eyes all around. Jed certainly knew what was going on. In such an environment, only a little exaggeration was needed to make people believe it.
Because information was difficult to obtain effectively, Jed looked at the people around him and shouted with a loudspeaker.
"Our people didn't take most of the medicines. They were all distributed according to the distribution plan set by the gods early on. Our people are also waiting for the distribution of medicines. If you don't believe it, you can go and see. There are also many sick people here, and they haven't received the medicines."
Jed glanced around and saw some people from other gangs secretly. They were the ones who instigated people near the drug factory to spread such rumors, but it was obvious that the people who were beaten would not tell the truth.
Once suspicion begins, it is difficult to eliminate it, and Jed's men also resorted to violence, so even if they tell the truth now, who instructed them, many people will not believe it.
"The reason why the medicines can't be distributed all the time is that the manufacturing speed is slow, and secondly, there are too many people on this land."
Jed's explanation seemed pale and powerless to many people, because they didn't know the real situation at all, how much medicine was produced every day, and how much medicine was produced.
One thing Jed didn't want to say was that it was actually the doctors who made the medicines who took away a lot of medicines. Everyone would take some, including the doctors on Jed's side.
Distrust has become the biggest problem on this grassland, and those gangs have created some rumors for their own interests, which has increased such distrust.
"He instructed us."
Sure enough, the person who spread the rumor immediately pointed out that Jed's men directly caught some people from a gang from the crowd, and they immediately denied it, saying that they did not instruct anything at all.
The matter could only be left unresolved. Jed looked at the few people who spread rumors on the ground angrily, and then released those gang members. After dispersing the crowd, he took these people to his tent, and several people were begging for mercy.
Jed furiously pulled a person over and smashed his head with the butt of the gun directly. Until this person lost his life, the other few people dared not say a word.
"Why help them? Why?"
Jed could no longer suppress his anger in his heart, and his men could not bear it. From the reservoir to the mine, and then to the pharmaceutical factory, many people in every place maliciously spread rumors about Jed and his group.
Jed stared at several people viciously and walked over step by step, and at this time a subordinate came in.
"Boss, they are Allen's men."
Jed stared at the people who came in, then signaled with his eyes, and several of his men went over and killed the people who spread the rumors with their blades.
"Hang up their bodies. Tell everyone about the rumor tomorrow. Anyone who spreads our rumor again on this land will be killed without mercy."
Alan's men looked solemn at this time.
"Mr. Jed, our boss sent me here tonight in the hope that you can continue to be patient."
Jed sighed helplessly. It was too late now. When these people knew that Allen sent people here, they had to die.
The purpose of Allen's men coming here was to prevent Jed from being impulsive.
Although Jed's men were strong now, those leaders could not do anything, but they could continue to use rumors to disintegrate Jed and his people.
After listening to what Allen's men brought, several of Jed's men felt a little regretful, because they really couldn't bear it anymore, so they arrested those people who spread rumors.
But now everything has been done, the key is what will happen tomorrow.
"Go back and tell Alan that I will try to restrain myself from what happened tonight."
Jed barely slept well all night, but early the next morning, many people gathered around the rack outside where Jed lived. They saw several people hanging on the rack.
Many people's eyes were full of fear, and they remembered to use loudspeakers to explain the situation.
"These people maliciously spread rumors and have destroyed the peace in the area. I just hope that everyone will not believe these rumors casually. If you don't believe them, you can send your trusted people to watch carefully when distributing medicines every day to see if our people have taken more medicines."
Jed endured and looked at some people in other gangs. Some of them still had smiles on their lips because they succeeded. Jed and his group have been labeled as tyrants by many people.
Jed knew very well how much harm this would cause to the entire gang. Those marginal members of the gang would be easily sentenced because they just wanted to live a better life and joined Jed and his group.
After Jed finished speaking, he returned to the tent. All his confidants were here today, so he started to lay out his plan. Maybe he couldn't wait any longer. If they continued to wait, they would have no place to stand when the rumors continued to spread. It would be better to take the initiative and destroy the small gangs nearby.
Because these small gangs were the ones who were making trouble, Jed knew this very well. He planned to arrange a complete surprise attack and eat them up before they could react.
"Listen carefully, don't leave any of these gangs alive."
Jed's men nodded. They also realized that they had to completely take control of the area near the reservoir, instead of giving some small gangs room to survive. They were like rat shit.
