From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Food Crisis
“I called everyone here this morning for an important meeting to discuss Chen Guangda’s crime …”

Li Shuibao was still sitting behind several tables in the small hall where he was dancing and singing last night. His expression was gloomy as he looked at the members of the leading group. However, besides Wang Yihao, who was beaten last night, Xu Lizhen was also sitting at the end of the hall. Liu Sha was also sitting beside Secretary Qiu with a swagger.

“Leader! I want to conduct a profound review of this matter. I have made a major mistake in management. Please lock me up …”

Wu Tianxiong suddenly stood up and lowered his head with a face full of shame. But Secretary Qiu pushed his glasses and said, “Chief Wu, don’t be so impulsive. Anyone can’t avoid making mistakes, but it’s not too late for us to mend the situation. Secretary Li has gathered everyone to come up with a plan to make up for it!”

“Xiaoqiu is right. We can all see your dedication and hard work. You can’t be killed just because of a small mistake. You can sit down first and talk about it …”

Secretary Li put down his teacup and gently pressed down on his hand. Unexpectedly, Wu Tianxiong said impulsively, “Leader! I will take responsibility for my own mistakes. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. As long as you arrange a few more people for me, I will definitely be able to catch that bastard and bring him to justice!”

“Officer Wu! But he has a gun in his hand. It’s still two. How can he catch it …”

Wang Yihao propped up a swollen eye socket. He looked at him angrily, but Wu Tianxiong said with a fierce expression, “There was only one bullet in my gun. I don’t believe that he can blow his head off with one shot. Furthermore, I have seen the cartridge case he fired last night. Those rubber bullets can only cripple people at most. As long as we are prepared properly, we can definitely catch him back!”

“How confident are you? You can’t use your momentary courage to cause our comrades to sacrifice themselves for nothing …”

Li Shuibao looked at him with a serious expression. However, just as Wu Tianxiong was about to speak, Xu Lizhen suddenly raised her hand and said, “Leaders!” “Let me interrupt. Although Chen Guangdalian and I are not friends, I still know him a little. He is not a bad person. If he wasn’t forced into a hurry, he wouldn’t have done so. Otherwise, he would have released a few death row inmates long ago. This shows that he doesn’t want to stir things up too much!”

“Leader! President Xu’s words are reasonable. Judging from last night’s performance, Chen Guangda only wanted to vent his anger and even took the initiative to draw a clear line with us. Why should we provoke him again? Isn’t it better for him to die on his own?”

Judge Zhang, who was sitting at Li Shuibao’s hands, also spoke, and Xu Lizhen added, “Yes! Chen Guangda really dares to risk his life. What if he is really pushed into a hurry and drags us to our deaths together? At that time, everyone will be doomed!”

“This …”

Li Shuibao furrowed his brows and looked at Wu Tianxiong. Unexpectedly, Wu Tianxiong knitted his brows and didn’t say anything. He didn’t seem to deny that Chen Guangda was a fugitive.

“This way …”

Li Shuibao suddenly slapped the table and said, “Wang Yihao, you are to split up from the leading group and choose a few capable people to form a joint defense team. You will be the captain. From today onwards, you guys should keep an eye on Chen Guangda. You must not let him cause any more trouble. Do you understand?”

“Complete the mission with all my might!”

Wang Yihao jumped up in surprise. He didn’t expect that after being beaten up by Chen Guangda, he would actually beat up an official position. However, Liu Sha winked at him meaningfully. Xu Lizhen, who was beside him, immediately saw through the situation.

Liu Sha was definitely helping him. As Secretary Qiu’s sister-in-law, as long as her sister blew the pillow wind for Secretary Qiu, it would be easy for Wang Yihao to become a small official. However, seeing the way the two of them flirted, Xu Lizhen muttered in her heart.

‘”This brat was still hooking up with Yan Qing yesterday. Aren’t you afraid that Liu Sha will cause trouble for him? Could it be that the two of them are really just pure friendship …”

Xu Lizhen couldn’t understand the relationship between these people. Even though she was a bit confused, Li Shuibao suddenly said, “President Xu! I have appointed you as the propaganda director now. Do you have confidence that I will lead everyone to make the entertainment more exciting in the future?”

“I am confident! I swear to the death to satisfy the leaders …”

Xu Lizhen jumped up in excitement. Her mouth was so happy that it almost cracked open. Sure enough, he didn’t touch her for nothing last night. If Chen Guangda, the shit stirrer, had not suddenly barged in, she would definitely have had confidence to climb onto Li Shuibao’s bed. Perhaps she was half-aged in the eyes of the boys, but she was definitely a beauty when placed in the eyes of the old man!

“Good, good, good! As long as you have confidence …”

Li Shuibao nodded his head in satisfaction and said, “Then let’s call it a day for the morning meeting. Everyone go upstairs to bask in the sun. You’ll get sick if you stay here. By the way, Chief Wu, hurry up and take someone to dispose of Xiao Huang’s corpse. Don’t let the virus spread out!”

“Don’t worry, leader! I just brought someone to deal with it. The corpse has already been arranged …”

Wu Tianxiong picked up the policeman’s hat and sighed sadly. Seeing that many people were still looking at him with astonishment on their faces, he explained, “Xiao Huang suddenly woke up last night and accidentally drank a cup of dirty water on the table. Fortunately, I discovered that it had not caused a big disaster, otherwise the nurses would have been in great trouble!”

“Ai ~ What an unlucky child. It’s a waste of Doctor Lin’s efforts …”

Li Shuibao expressionlessly shook his head. Everyone immediately began to sigh. However, Xiao Huang was obviously a pitiful creature without a sense of existence. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to be a sentinel. After a moment of hypocritical sorrow, everyone immediately followed Li Shuibao upstairs and began to laugh and talk.

The cafeteria hall on the first floor was already filled with people. Apart from a few guards, almost everyone came up to guard the room. They gathered in twos and threes to brag and play cards in the sunshine. Yan Qing also quickly fused into the cafeteria hall. She sat together with a few chatting women, chatting and laughing. She seemed to have selectively forgotten about the group of corpses outside the cafeteria.

“Xiao Yan! Come here for a moment …”

A pretty young woman suddenly waved to Yan Qing. This young woman was Secretary Qiu’s wife. Although she looked like a very low-key woman and wasn’t as arrogant as her cousin Liu Sha, Yan Qing didn’t dare to neglect her. She hurriedly patted her butt and ran over. She smiled and said, “What’s wrong, Sister Qin Nan? Do you have anything to arrange for me to do?”

“I’m giving you a chance to show off. Who told me that this girl of yours is especially pleasing to the eye …”

Qin Nan smiled kindly at her and leaned against the wall and said, “It’s like this!” Secretary Li needs a life secretary to take care of his daily necessities. I thought of you as soon as I heard about it. President Xu also praised you endlessly. How about it? “This is a good opportunity to get close to the leader. Do you dare to meet the challenge?”

“Ah? You want me to be your life secretary? I’m afraid that won’t do. I can’t even fold my own blanket …”

Yan Qing immediately looked at the other party with embarrassment. Who knew that Qin Nan would not say anything else. He patted her shoulder and walked away with a smile. However, Wang Yihao suddenly walked over with a frown and whispered, “Qing’er!” Why are you so ignorant? “What a good opportunity to be Secretary Li’s life secretary. Don’t forget that we still have to rely on our leaders to continue to take care of us after we leave!”

“Yi Hao! It’s not like you don’t know who I am. If you want me to flatter you, you might as well kill me. If you accidentally offend the leader, wouldn’t it be even worse …”

Yan Qing helplessly spread out her hands. Unexpectedly, Wang Yihao laughed and said, “I forgot your nickname. You are a famous iceberg witch in our school. It is indeed embarrassing for you to flatter me. But don’t worry, I am now the captain of the joint defense team. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you!”

“Haha ~ With your physique, you should have shown some real ability long ago. When you leave this place, you will definitely be reused. Gold will shine wherever you go …”

Yan Qing covered her mouth and smiled happily. She began to remember bitterly and sweetly with Wang Yihao. The two of them chatted until noon. Several women had already taken food from the cold storage and were busy in the kitchen. But as soon as the food was ready, someone suddenly shouted, “What the hell is going on?” “Why has today’s meal turned into porridge? The green fish has also turned into a fish. How can it not let people live?”

Hearing this, everyone immediately surrounded them. When they saw the food in the big pot, they were dumbfounded. Although the green fish was cooked with a pleasant fragrance, the white porridge in the pot was as thin as water. If they ate it, it would probably turn into urine in minutes. But Secretary Qiu came up and coldly said, “What’s wrong?” I thought we were deliberately deducting food rations. Let me tell you, all the white rice has been cooked today. We also have to eat porridge! ”

“Then add a few more fish. You can’t starve to death if you only eat this little a day …”

Everyone immediately became excited. They all shouted for more fish to be cooked, However, Secretary Qiu directly took a notebook from Qin Nan and smashed it heavily on the table, saying, “Look at the ledger. Just how much food is left? The amount of food we eat every day is carefully discussed. If we don’t eat like this, we won’t be able to last for a month. When the time comes, what kind of rescue will we talk about?”

“Ah? Why is there only such a small thing left …”

A woman picked up the ledger in shock, but Secretary Qiu said, “What do you mean by that?” Do you think we hid the food? Every day you send representatives to supervise the opening of the warehouse. The keys are also ours and yours. You don’t have to think about how many people are here. Each of them costs more than fifty kilograms of rice per day. You’ll have to settle such a simple bill, right? ”

“Everyone, calm down. Although the food is a little less, it’s not enough to starve to death …”

Li Shuibao stepped forward and sighed. “Everyone knows what kind of situation they are in right now. If they can overcome it, they can. It’ll be fine once they leave. The female comrades should just lose weight. The male comrades should also lower their blood lipids. Everyone should persevere in times of difficulty!” Li Shuibao said bitterly.

“Alright! Everyone, let’s go eat. It’s useless for you to make things difficult for Secretary Qiu. He won’t be able to produce food …”

Qin Nan clapped his hands forcefully. He took the lead to scoop out the porridge from the pot and began to eat. Everyone could only sit down with a sad expression. However, the amount of food was pitifully small. A bowl of porridge would end the battle in two or three bites. Even if the palm-sized green striped fish swallowed even the bones, it would still be dissatisfied with the cracks in its teeth.

“It’s over! I’m so hungry that my stomach is starting to hurt. What should I do …”

Su Tong looked at Yan Qing and the others with a face full of pain. She was the one who ate the most here. She had never eaten so little even if it was a diet meal. Yan Qing threw away the empty bowl and directly stood up. She said dejectedly, “Let’s go! Go take a nap. You won’t be hungry if you fall asleep!”

A group of people began to walk downstairs one after another. Even the women with the smallest appetite couldn’t help but sigh. A few of them even had symptoms of hypoglycemia. However, a strong fragrance suddenly drifted over. Hungry humans were especially sensitive to this scent. They heard someone suddenly shout, “Not good!” “That brat must be stealing our food!”

“Let’s go fight him …”

Someone shouted, Everyone immediately rushed to the tunnel with excitement. Lin Na and the others immediately pinched their sweat for Chen Guangda. If they really put their lives on the line, Chen Guangda would definitely die. His two broken guns couldn’t stop so many people. However, when she hurriedly chased after him and tried to dissuade them, everyone who had just rushed out of the tunnel was stunned.

The two locks on the freezer were intact, The four new guards were also squatting there. However, Chen Guangda, who was opposite them, set up a pot of soup. Not only did he boil a pot of delicious instant noodles, he also added something like ham sausage and eggs. The alluring fragrance made the eyes of the crowd redden, and the sound of them swallowing together was even more terrifying than the roar of a living corpse.
