Nothing can change suddenly.
There will definitely be a transformation process.
This is especially true for people. For more than a year, the garrison has been guarding the gymnasium.
Being able to do this is a miracle in the last days.
This is why Lao Xu has always been reluctant to attribute the garrison to "evil forces".
First, they are the army, and Lao Xu does not believe that the army would do such things to harm the people.
Secondly, the other party has been guarding this place for more than a year. They have sacrificed so much and killed so many people. There is no reason for the gymnasium to perish.
Even if you are too tired to guard you anymore, you don't have to just leave without saying hello.
But right now...
The facts are in front of us. The collection card was obtained by the garrison and parked outside the stadium. The sound source was only accessible to them and could be manipulated.
Therefore, everything indicates that the garrison is behind the scenes.
But before making a conclusion, Lao Xu needs more evidence.
After all, he was the one who came up with this bold inference, and he has to take responsibility for it.
He didn't want the final inference to be wrong, causing the middle-aged man to make a wrong judgment and become an enemy of the garrison, or even the entire gymnasium survivors to become enemies.
That old Xu Ke really... ruined the future of the gymnasium and the honor of the army.
"How to raise the captain? Have they had any special changes in the past period of time?"
"No!" The middle-aged man was very sure about this question: "We share things with the garrison. We handle the security inside the museum, and the perimeter defense is theirs. In the past period of time, they were no different from the past. The perimeter guard work has been I didn’t bring it with me. You are new here and have gone through the process, so you should know what I am talking about.”
Indeed, when Lao Xu came here, he was inspected by the garrison on the outside and brought into the museum.
In all processes, the other party was very conscientious.
As the middle-aged man said, there is nothing special about it.
"As for what you said about bringing the keys, this is a routine matter. They used to come here regularly to check, but they used to come to me to pick up the keys when they came. Last month, in order to avoid trouble, they took away all the unused room keys. Yes. What I thought was that they were planning to launch a surprise attack to see what was going on here."
The explanation seems very reasonable. The biggest difference between taking the key and not taking the key is the suddenness.
Without the key, the garrison troops would have to go the middle-aged route when they came to inspect, and this would give the inspection and management team members in the library a warning in advance so that they could be prepared.
Just take the key away and get to the point without giving the inspection management team any preparation.
This will make it easier to check the situation in the library.
Nodding again, Lao Xu thought for a while: "So... what about the upper management? Is there anything different about them, or did they say anything strange to the captain?"
Whether it's the perimeter guards I just mentioned or the inspection inside the museum, these specific matters are all done by the soldiers below.
They are executors, not decision-makers.
Generally speaking, decision-makers will not tell the executors their true thoughts.
At least not before taking action.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the soldiers responsible for performing guard duties do not behave strangely.
The focus is on the upper echelons of the garrison. When middle-aged people come into contact with these people, do they notice anything "special"?
The middle-aged man is a very sophisticated person. Lao Xu believes that with his level of understanding, it is not easy for ordinary people to hide from him.
But it was a pity that the middle-aged man's next words made Lao Xu somewhat disappointed.
"I haven't had any contact with the people above me during this period. They generally don't have direct contact with me. They always contact the guards. The guards are just responsible for passing orders. I don't see any problems."
The middle-aged man answered sincerely.
Lao Xu nodded as usual.
It's really not easy to find problems when the guard sends a message.
It seems that it is impossible to find clues from the source.
"Hey, captain, if you want to put it that way, if the garrison wants to be with us, then wouldn't we..." The people below started to panic.
Lao Xu looked at the other person, then at the middle-aged man, knowing that maintaining stability was still the most important thing at this time.
At that moment, he spoke directly: "Don't be so nervous. I said I was just speculating. No matter what the actual situation is, we cannot say that these are the intentions of the garrison until more direct evidence is obtained."
"That's right!" Old Xu stopped talking, and the middle-aged man followed up: "The garrison has been here for more than a year. If they really wanted to destroy us, they could have done it long ago. There is no need to wait until now. Okay. , do what you should do, and stop making random assumptions here!"
The middle-aged man's words were clearly targeted.
But Lao Xu didn't care.
He knew that the middle-aged man was a smart man, and as the captain in this situation, he had to stabilize the situation.
Therefore, regardless of whether he accepts his own opinion, he must deny the inference that the garrison is "making trouble".
Because the situation is obvious now. If you want to maintain order in the museum, the middle-aged people must first stabilize the group of people below.
And if he wanted to stabilize the group of people below, he had to give them a chance to live.
Undoubtedly, the only thing that can achieve this possibility is the garrison.
Everyone in the hall was thinking about the garrison going to get food for them.
Although there are many crises and troubles in the museum at the moment, everything can return to normal as long as the garrison returns.
For more than a year, the prestige of the garrison in the stadium was unquestionable.
There are hundreds of people in this museum, and they all rely on the troops stationed in the museum to make a living.
Therefore, for them, the existence of the garrison directly determines their belief in survival.
At this time, if you tell the residents here that the garrison is going to kill them, then there will definitely be chaos and disintegration in the gymnasium without the zombies taking action.
So as a middle-aged man, he definitely couldn't let this situation happen.
Even if he now has psychological doubts about the garrison, he must continue to maintain the glorious image of the garrison, at least until he finds a practical solution.
As Lao Xu, he has already said what needs to be said. As long as the middle-aged man has a clear mind, his goal will be achieved.
"Captain, you said that the source of the sound has also been released. Next... we should, should be able to survive this crisis."
Looking at his trembling men, the middle-aged man looked grim.
No one knew what he was thinking, and he didn't make any reply to the question. Instead, he moved his eyes towards Lao Xu, with the obvious intention of asking Lao Xu for his opinion.
"What do you think?"
At this time, there is no need to care about status or class.
This is quite embarrassing for middle-aged people.
You must know that in the last days, many high-ranking people, because they were at the bottom in the past, have stayed at the bottom for a long time, and suddenly become superiors, and they have to show off their abilities everywhere.
This is a manifestation of immature people, but middle-aged people are obviously not from the bottom in the past. Status determines status, status determines experience, and experience determines the way you do things. Middle-aged people are not simple people.
