Chapter 332

Bringing the crowd to the logistics center, Aji had already prepared a large amount of supplies. Everyone received two sets of clothes and some daily necessities, even toothpaste and toothbrushes. These people couldn't help but sigh at the extremely high quality of life here.

Soon, nearly two hundred people came out of the bathhouse. Everyone's hair was wet, but it couldn't hide their blushed faces and excited expressions.

Carol smiled at the happy crowd, and when she saw everyone coming out, she spoke again.

"Okay, everyone, put your things back in your rooms. I'll be waiting for you here. Next, we'll go to the cafeteria to eat. Don't forget to bring your lunch boxes."

Everyone stopped what they were doing upon hearing this, and the next second they all ran towards the dormitory. In just five minutes, a large number of people gathered in front of Carol again, and everyone had an impatient expression on their face.

Carol smiled and stretched out her hand, gesturing for "follow me", and then led a large group of people towards the cafeteria.

Because the population of Ideal Town is increasing, the previous cafeteria is simply unable to accommodate everyone's dining at the same time, but there is no need to build a larger cafeteria just for this purpose, so now almost everyone uses lunch boxes to pack their food back to the dormitory to eat.

Now Carol and a few others are helping these newcomers get familiar with the environment, or at least let them know more about this place.

We could already smell the strong aroma of meat before we even reached the cafeteria. Everyone who hadn't had a proper meal for two years was already getting angry. Several of them had already rushed to the front of the line, wanting to rush in and grab the food first.

At this time, there was a short figure walking towards the cafeteria door. It was obviously a child, but the people in the front had no intention of stopping. Carol saw the child for the first time and his face instantly became serious.

"Carl, be careful behind you."

Although Carol saw this scene, she was powerless to stop it and could only shout to warn Carl who was still unaware.

Just when the men were about to knock Carl down, two strong legs appeared in front of them, one on the left and one on the right.

"Hey young!"

"Shit, who the hell tripped me!"

Several people who fell into a heap covered the parts of their bodies that were hit and were about to get up while cursing, but they didn't expect a click sound to be heard beside them. The familiar sound of a bullet being loaded made them calm down instantly. They all shut their mouths and then looked up in the direction where the sound came from.

However, the person holding the gun was none other than Carol, who looked harmless before. She was looking at them with wide eyes, holding the gun steadily in the air, as if she would shoot them if they made any further movement.

The few people were pointed at by the black muzzle of the gun and immediately became cowardly, squatting on the ground in fear. Carol then looked at the two people who intercepted them.

She knew these two people. They were Carlos and Franco, whom Lu had told her to keep an eye on before.

Carlos raised his hands slightly and took a few steps back to Emily and the others, but Franco did not raise his hand. He just walked two steps to the side and nodded kindly when he saw Carol looking at him.

"Thank you."

"Carol, what's wrong?"

At this time, Carl, who had come to his senses, naturally took out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at the people on the ground. This scene made Carlos a little dazed. He glanced at Carol calmly, and seeing that the latter seemed to have no reaction, he glanced at Carl meaningfully.

"What's wrong?"

A majestic voice sounded, and Lu Jiayi walked over from behind the crowd at some point.

Carol briefly explained what had just happened, and Lu Jiayi looked coldly at the people on the ground without saying a word.

Several people felt cold all over when they were looked at by his gaze, as if they were being stared at by some ferocious beast. Their faces soon turned pale and beads of sweat oozed out of their foreheads.

"Listen carefully, Ideal Town has its own rules. Since you enjoy a more comfortable life than others, you must abide by the rules here. You must not harm the vulnerable groups at any time here. If anyone dares to violate this rule, I don't mind adding a few more beds in the cemetery outside. Do you understand? This is just your first offense, so your meals tonight will be cancelled."

They didn't have the courage to talk back and just nodded like chicks pecking at rice. Seeing that they were really scared, Lu Jiayi didn't hold on to them anymore. Instead, he turned around and glanced at the nearly two hundred people behind him and continued.

"What I said to them will also work on you. As long as you follow the rules of Ideal Town, you will find that this is a pure land in the end times. Anyone who has bad intentions will bear the consequences themselves."

Although there were nearly two hundred people, everyone felt the intimidating aura coming from the man, and the scene became unusually quiet for a moment.

But the next second, Lu Jiayi's serious expression relaxed and a smile appeared, which immediately made people feel that the coldness around them faded away like ice and snow melting.

"Of course, everyone, don't be afraid. We don't have so many rules here. Just be a little careful. Okay, I won't delay your meal. Carol, take everyone in quickly."

Then he walked over to Carlos and pointed at Franco standing by the wall.

"You two, follow me."

Carlos exchanged glances with his companions, signaling them not to be nervous, and then followed Lu Jiayi away.

The three of them quickly came to a corner of the cafeteria, and Lu Jiayi spoke to a man who was eating not far away.

"Glenn, give them both a meal, and give them more."

"OK."

After Glenn left, Lu Jiayi was the first to look at Carlos.

"You were a policeman before. I have paid a lot of attention to you along the way. I think you are a trustworthy person. You should have discovered that there are a lot of people in Ideal Town, and with so many people, there will inevitably be various disagreements, so a formal law enforcement agency is necessary. Although we also have pre-apocalyptic police here, they all have responsibilities and cannot be distracted by managing trivial matters in the base. So I have been looking for a qualified sheriff, and you are the person I have been looking for for a long time."

"Mr. Lu, do you want me to be responsible for the security of the entire town?"

"Of course not. I will assign you a few helpers. Don't worry, they are all skilled and obedient. I hope you can use your years of experience as a police officer to formulate a series of public security regulations. We will review your regulations at the Ideal Town Administrative Meeting. Once implemented, you will be the new Ideal Town Sheriff. How about it? Are you interested?"

Looking at the calm man opposite with great interest, Lu Jiayi was not worried that the other party would refuse. However, he had no reason to refuse, right?

Sure enough, after just a few breaths, Carlos nodded, stretched out his hand solemnly and shook hands with him.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lu. I think I will do my best to do this job well."

"very good."

At this time, Glenn had already walked over with two large lunch boxes. Lu Jiayi glanced at Franco who was silent opposite him, and then looked at Carlos. The latter took the lunch box and stood up.

"I won't bother you anymore, thank you for the food."

"No, it's our food. You are a member of Ideal Town now, right?"

"Of course, I made a mistake."

As Carlos left, Franco, who was sitting opposite him, finally took action. He picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of food into his mouth. After chewing for a while, he let out a breath.

"Phew, great meal."

"Thanks."

"I understand why you called me here alone. As for my answer, you should know it, right?"

Franco's riddle-like words did not make Lu Jiayi feel confused. Instead, he smiled slightly and nodded.

"Tell me your conditions."

"No, I have no conditions. I can tell you all the information I know."

"Oh early, early, early, early, tut, tut, tut, tut, tut? Aren't you afraid that I'll have other thoughts about you after I know about it?"

"Of course I am afraid, but I don't think you are short-sighted. My role is not just to provide you with some dispensable intelligence, right? And you have to understand that it is not easy for me to make the decision to leave the organization. This means that I have chosen an extremely powerful enemy, but this is a good thing for you. Once the organization learns that I am dead, it means that I must never appear in their sight. You have to know that my organization is a huge force with bases all over the United States. If I am defined as a defector by such an organization, my fate will definitely be a hundred times worse than being burned to death."

Lu Jiayi just looked straight into the other person's eyes, and all he could see was worry and sincerity. He knew that Franco was not trustworthy yet, but he had plenty of time.

"Very good. I will trust you for now. Next, I will ask you to fulfill your promise with practical actions."

In this way, the two of them sat in the cafeteria for a full two hours, until it turned dark outside, and Lu Jiayi returned to his room with satisfaction.

His room now is no longer the cramped little house it once was. After the second construction, Dekman specially built a room with an area of ​​over 100 square meters for him. Although it is only more than 100 square meters, it only has one bedroom and a separate bathroom, but there is a small conference room of 50 square meters and an office of more than 20 square meters. It can be said to be quite comfortable.

Walking straight into the office and picking up a plan on the desk, Lu Jiayi fell into deep thought.

He had originally planned to conduct an ability experiment in Birmingham to see what the upper limit of his recruitment of survivors was. However, he was delayed because of the Savior Army's affairs. Later, he was unable to conduct the experiment with nearly 200 new recruits and pursuers behind him, so he decided to hold the experiment in the base.

However, there are still a few things that need to be dealt with before that. One is to complete the initial training of the 200 new people, and the other is to find a batch of more professional military production equipment.

Although Piaru has begun production using the machine tools in the base, the shortage of raw materials is another issue that is on the table.

"Oh, it seems that there are still many things to do. Now I have to deal with CRM. It seems that I really need to develop as soon as possible."

Gradually, Lu Jiayi fell into deep thought as he looked at the tactical map in front of him.
