The middle-aged man was already angry now, but hearing these words from Lao Xu made him even more angry.
But after all, he still has a brain and knows that there is no need to be angry with Lao Xu at this juncture.
He also had to point to the latter to take charge of the overall situation.
After all, in this situation, having Lao Xu help support the situation can save him a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, just patrolling upstairs and downstairs would be enough for him.
"Okay, forget what you said. I don't blame you. Tell me, what's the matter? What do you want to discuss with me? Is there something new going on outside?"
Sitting up from the recliner, the middle-aged man opened the lid of the tea and took a few sips.
"No, the museum is relatively stable at the moment. But Commander, under the current situation, it is impossible for us to break out. The position of the garrison is uncertain, and we cannot fully expect them to come back and just leave us alone, so..."
"So what!? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide it from me. Since I let you take charge of the entire security, I absolutely trust you!"
Although middle-aged people speak beautifully, their minds are not so open.
Being superior to others has always been the most worrying and taboo thing for those in power since ancient times.
Through this period of contact with the world, middle-aged people's psychological vigilance becomes even stronger.
Masters compete directly with masters. This is different from those simple-minded fools who always see the shortcomings of others and always think they are better than others.
But masters are used to appreciating each other's strengths, and right now Xu Renjie is a pretty outstanding guy in the eyes of middle-aged people.
In terms of intelligence and thinking, Lao Xu is on par with him.
In terms of military experience, Lao Xu is even better.
In the current situation, Lao Xu's commanding power and execution ability are undoubtedly more evident.
The middle-aged man considers himself a relatively outstanding person, but in front of Lao Xu, he has no psychological confidence.
He was really worried that the other party would eventually betray him and take away his power.
There was a garrison in the past, and relying on the relationship between the garrison and the garrison, the middle-aged people were not worried about anyone daring to make mistakes.
In comparison, what the garrison needs is a peaceful and stable environment inside the museum.
He will not easily cause trouble for someone to usurp power.
Especially since his position as captain of the inspection and management team was given to him by the other party.
If you rebel, you will make the garrison look bad.
Before, it was considered that the garrison would come back, so the middle-aged man was not too worried about old Xu Gonggao becoming the master.
What he wanted to do was to use Lao Xu to stabilize the situation for him first, so that when the garrison came back, he would use this crisis to claim credit for himself and tell the garrison that he had overcome all difficulties and defended the gymnasium for them.
Anyway, he is the one who has contact with the higher-ups. He can say whatever he wants. The garrison will never know who is guarding the gymnasium for them.
After that, I will slowly think of ways to attack Lao Xu.
However, the situation suddenly changed. The timer that Old Xu found from the storage room forced the middle-aged man to question the intention of the garrison.
If it is said that everything was really done by the garrison, then the greatest reliance on his rights will be gone.
In this way, Lao Xu now poses a huge threat to him.
Unfortunately, even though he knew that Old Xu was a great threat to him, the middle-aged man could not deal with it.
He cannot do without Lao Xu, and he still needs Lao Xu to maintain the current situation for him.
He may be very good at dealing with other problems, but when it comes to dealing with zombies, he's still too far behind.
Lao Xu didn't have time to think about the middle-aged man's thoughts. He said straightforwardly: "As the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have short-term worries. Captain, the current information is before us. It is impossible to get out in the short term. So I want to know, we We must make statistics on how much food and water we have on hand now."
Indeed, eating and drinking are always the most important issues for human survival.
Zombies are currently not allowed to enter the museum.
But the same survivors in the museum cannot go out.
There is a very real problem facing everyone, that is, supplies.
The middle-aged man frowned after hearing this question.
Obviously, he has not thought about this question carefully.
After all, the zombie attack came too suddenly. All his attention was focused on the crisis of the zombies themselves, and he had not had time to consider other related matters.
At this moment, hearing Xu Renjie mention this, I suddenly felt that the situation was serious.
Seeing the middle-aged man frowning, Lao Xu knew that his words had attracted the other person's attention.
This was the result he wanted, so he immediately followed up and added: "Captain, where are the supplies now? Are they in this building?"
This is very important. You must know that the entire stadium is not just one venue.
Opposite the venue where Lao Xu is, there is a small building.
Although not as big as the main stadium, it is more than enough to store food.
"The food is in the library." The middle-aged man replied subconsciously.
Hearing this, Old Xu took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "That's great! Just stay in the museum!"
If this food is not in the museum, it will definitely be a disaster for the entire situation.
After following up with Ye Hao, I got information that there were about fifteen climbers wandering around the stadium.
The weak food was divided into venues across the street, so Lao Xu and the others had to organize manpower to go out and risk their lives to get food.
There will inevitably be a fierce battle between this single room and the stadium zombies.
"Then does the captain know how many supplies we have on hand now?" Lao Xu continued to ask.
Supplies are in the library, and quantity is also key.
"This..." Slowly raising his head, the middle-aged man looked at Lao Xu with a wary look on his face.
It would be fine if Lao Xu didn't mention this matter, but when he mentioned it, the middle-aged man became very attentive.
In this situation, supply determines everything.
Whoever controls the supplies controls the entire gym.
This is also what many big countries like to do.
The market says that the best way to control a country is not to declare war.
Fighting wastes people and money, and is always the next chapter.
Disrupting the economy is more effective than fighting a war.
So we often see a certain big country providing economic assistance to a certain small country.
It is said to be aid, but in fact it is using this method to infiltrate other countries.
On the surface, other countries have obtained banknotes, which is a good deal.
However, from a practical long-term perspective, long-term acceptance of aid from other countries will greatly harm the country's financial-related development.
What is more terrifying than the economic invasion is the food invasion.
The so-called food invasion is just an overview. Simply put, it means controlling the food and drink of other countries’ citizens.
Eating and drinking are the basics of human survival. There is a saying in China that bad mountains and rivers breed unruly people.
The common people are actually easy to deal with, especially in poor areas. If they can have food to eat, they can live a stable life.
But if there is no food to eat, then society will inevitably be in turmoil.
Some countries rely on selling some so-called high-efficiency seeds to other countries, and would even rather lose money on the fruits grown after purchasing such seeds.
If you are greedy for this benefit, use seeds from other countries for planting, and plant them on a large area, and give up research on agricultural products from your own country.
In the short term, the state’s investment in this area can be reduced, and farmers can also get a lot of benefits.
But in fact, it is through this means that people control your lifeblood.
