The one-minute silence made the atmosphere a little solemn, which was exactly what Xu Renjie wanted.
He needs to let the people here understand how hard-won the asylum they are receiving at this moment is, and that the world outside the high wall is far crueler and more terrifying than they imagined.
Of course, while letting the people maintain their due respect for survival, Xu Renjie did not want to increase their panic, so after the silence ended, he did not make any pause and immediately announced the second topic of the meeting.
"The second thing I want to say is also related to this search mission. I believe everyone is also very clear about this matter. That is, one of our three teams successfully obtained a thousand kilograms of equipment for the base. Rice and related daily necessities.”
As usual, the names of the participants in the third team were recited once, and Xu Renjie raised his hand to signal the latter to stand up every time.
After all six members of the third team stood up, Xu Renjie finally changed his solemn expression and suggested to the people with a smile: "Here I propose to give some applause to the fearless warriors among you and thank them for not caring about themselves. Your personal life is at risk for your contribution to the base!”
"Bah, bang, bang!" As Xu Renjie finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the stands.
Regardless of whether the applause was genuine or fake, in short, the atmosphere on the field was quite warm.
This can't help but make young Wang Qiang, Wu Chao, and Wenquan Xin a little complacent. After all, being a hero is every man's dream, and being "worshipped" by everyone like now is even more coveted and unforgettable.
After the applause ended, Xu Renjie reiterated the base's recruitment policy. At the same time, he also hoped that everyone could actively participate in this task like the above two teams and contribute their due share to the future of the base and the future of mankind. A force.
Tang Xiaoquan looked at Xu Renjie on the rostrum indifferently. There was no wave on his face, but deep down in his heart, he was already impressed by the "means" of the man in his eyes.
In his opinion, the rally organized by Xu Renjie today was more than just two things.
This can be seen from his "first suppress and then raise" handling method. He wanted to convey two thoughts to the survivors at the meeting through these two incidents.
1. Crisis thinking;
2. The idea of self-help;
There is no doubt that these two thoughts are undoubtedly the most lacking thing in the entire base at the moment, because living under the high wall for a long time has worn away the spirit that the people here should have.
Maybe they are still alive, maybe they can live for a long time, but if they continue to follow the rules like this and "live on" like parasites, sooner or later they will become empty bodies like the zombies outside the wall. A "walking zombie" with a body and no thoughts.
In this regard, Xu Renjie, as a manager, naturally cannot let this happen. He needs to give these desperate people some vigilance and expectations. He needs to let them know that if they want to survive in this apocalypse, they must join hands! Must fight! You must contribute your own strength!
What happened to the two teams in the past undoubtedly gave him the opportunity to make a "note", although it is not appropriate to say so.
But it is undeniable that Xu Renjie's approach does reveal such meaning.
The two teams were successful and the other was defeated. Such contradictory results just matched Xu Renjie's thoughts.
So the latter took this opportunity to not only mourn the death of the second team, but also commend the triumphant third team.
In addition, what is more important is the communication of ideas and awareness.
This is why Tang Xiaoquan admires Xu Renjie so much.
After all, it is not something that just anyone can think of or do to achieve something so seamless and kill three birds with one stone.
However, Tang Xiaoquan obviously still underestimated Xu Renjie's ability, because what the latter did today, in addition to the points he analyzed above, also implied a greater purpose:
That is Xu Renjie preparing and paving the way for his future "big plan".
You must know that the reason why the plan is called "big" is not only because of its scale, but more importantly because it involves a lot of people.
Xu Renjie wanted to use the different situations of the two teams to make other people in the base feel a sense of crisis and make them actively participate in the construction of the base in order to obtain more living supplies.
It is a pity that the long-standing "salted fish thought" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be easily shaken by Xu Renjie's "ulterior motives" words.
Therefore, soon, life in the gymnasium returned to its usual boring state, and even the glorious deeds of the "Second and Third Teams" that were talked about by the survivors in the first few days gradually faded out of people's sight.
Lao Zhao and his team have also maintained a relatively low profile in the past few days. They did not go out on missions, but stayed in the gymnasium as suggested by Tang Xiaoquan.
After all, the threat from Scarface's gang still exists, so unless absolutely necessary, as long as supplies can keep up, it would be better for them to stay together at the base as much as possible.
The days went by in this routine, and the survivors no longer had any expectations for Xu Renjie's so-called "big plan".
Tang Xiaoquan, who was relatively calm, was quite disappointed with the latter after a long and fruitless wait.
You know, the construction and development of the base would be impossible to sustain if a team like them went out to "make small fuss" alone.
Tang Xiaoquan even began to consider whether he should leave early before the base deteriorated further, so as not to "bring disaster to the fish in the pond" when it collapsed.
After all, no one can predict what "earth-shaking" things the hungry people will do when the base cannot even provide "clear soup and little water" to the people.
However, Tang Xiaoquan's worries seemed to be premature, because just when he was worried about the future of the base, Xu Renjie, who had been inactive for a long time, suddenly started to take action.
On this day, Lao Zhao was doing exercises on the court with his brothers as usual.
Luo Yi came over with a serious face and informed him to go to the base headquarters.
In this regard, Zhao Yunhai himself did not consider the "big plan" because the matter had passed so long that he instinctively forgot about it.
But when he entered the players' lounge, pushed open the door of the headquarters, and saw Scarface standing inside, he suddenly realized that things might not be as simple as he imagined.
Could it be that Xu Renjie is planning to do something big?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunhai's heart, which had been dead for a long time, was finally awakened again.
