Chapitre 61: Persuasion through coercion and inducement
Away from the Grand Canyon settlement, turning into the shortcut dirt road, the previous road had long been covered by sand and dust. After the convoy entered the dirt road, Qiu Guorui took a few people, left a car, and began to clean up the traces of the convoy. There will be a convoy following behind, and if the traces of the convoy are not covered, they may find this shortcut. When there are more caravans running on this dirt road, it will definitely attract the attention of the zombies and turn it into a dead end.
After leaving the highway, the convoy released the 43 people tied in the car while waiting for Qiu Guorui and his team to return.
Most of these people are old, and the oldest is already a grandfather. After being tied up for four or five hours, their hands and feet have long been numb. When they were helped out of the car one by one, they were all unstable and sat back in the sand. They were so angry that they didn't care about the people with guns around them, and they all cursed.
Before the end of the world, they were all elites in various industries, most of them were engaged in research work, and their status was high. Even ordinary officials were very respectful when they saw them. But in the end of the world, everything has changed. Of course, if they are lucky, they can still work in the authorities of the settlement. If they are unlucky, they must rely on their own hands to hunt for the crystals of zombies and struggle hard in this end of the world.
The lack of necessary industrial foundation and a large number of research equipment also determines that they are like scholars who are powerless and useless.
A few years of life in the end of the world have worn away a lot of their arrogance, but they still have their pride. So when seeing this cursing side, Zhou Yuanqiang certainly stood up with a smile. These are his future subordinates. If they can't calm down and finally affirm themselves, it will be difficult to get them to work.
"Seniors, I am sorry for inviting you out in this way." Zhou Yuanqiang put on a sincere look as soon as he came up, and made his identity as a junior clear. He continued, "I know that all of you are professionals in various industries in the past, and I naturally admire you. Seeing that you are about to fall into the struggle for food, I feel bad. I finally have some ability in this doomsday. In the thirst for talents, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort and invite you out."
It is really hard for the other party to believe Zhou Yuanqiang's words alone, but Zhou Yuanqiang explained it here and did not continue to argue with them on this issue. Instead, he pointed to the road they came from and said, "This place is more than 30 kilometers away from the Grand Canyon. There are zombies all along the way. If you still want to go back, I, Zhou Yuanqiang, will not stop you. You are free to come and go."
Thinking of them, all of them are bare-handed, how can they return to the Grand Canyon settlement safely? This paragraph of his words is more of a threat.
"Of course, if you follow me to the desert settlement, I can guarantee that you don't have to fight zombies for a meal, and you don't have to worry about your own safety. I can promise you that you can not only eat and live well, but also continue your research and do what you are interested in."
Zhou Yuanqiang's promise was definitely not small. The people who were originally furious also calmed down and looked at Zhou Yuanqiang in astonishment.
An old man in his sixties walked out of the crowd. He took off his glasses, gently wiped the dust on the lenses, put them on again, and said lightly: "Young man, do you know what your words mean? Now the city is full of zombies, how can you help us get the research equipment we need? When people get old, their lifelong interests can't really change. If you can really let me do research again, what's the harm in following you?"
Seeing the other party say this, and then seeing that the other party still retains the bookish air of a scholar in the end of the world, you know that he is a person with great knowledge. "May I know your last name, old man?"
The old man smiled and said, "I am a little confused when I am old. I think my name is Wan Chongshan. I used to be an aviation designer. Now, I am really useless. I can only help design some small electronic devices. I am ashamed!"
Aviation design? Damn, this is a very awesome profession. No wonder the other party would question his promise. You should know that the research equipment involved in aviation design is not something Zhou Yuanqiang can do now. For example, a test wind tunnel, unless Zhou Yuanqiang robs one, how can it be built without technology? This is just one of the huge numbers of basic equipment. Many research laboratories of various types are also needed. If Wan Chongshan can really do research as he pleases, he must have a complete aviation design and manufacturing system, which is really not something Zhou Yuanqiang can do.
However, just because it cannot be done now does not mean that it cannot be done in the future. Conditions are overcome by people. If you add one by one, there will always be a perfect day.
"Senior Wan, what you want may not be possible now, but at least I will help you do it in the future. Wasn't our country also poor and blank at the beginning of its founding? But we also developed our own aviation industry. Although it is the end of the world now, the foundation is many times better than before. Not to mention the distant places, SX City, which is not far from us, has a relatively complete aviation foundation. If we look further ahead, we can even go north to Russia and east across the Pacific Ocean to take back their advanced equipment. By then, why should we worry about not having equipment?"
Wan Chongshan looked at Zhou Yuanqiang in some astonishment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Very good, young man, you are courageous. I am waiting for the day when you take back their equipment from the United States, so that I can see what the research equipment representing the highest aviation technology is like."
Wan Chongshan is a master veteran in aviation design, and he has a pivotal position in this group of people. So with Wan Chongshan's consent, no one jumped out again. They all took the dry food and water prepared by Zhou Yuanqiang and rested and ate on the spot. In fact, as long as you think it through, there is no need to resist. Where is life? The world today is not a world you can choose at will. Maybe following the young man in front of you is not necessarily a bad thing.
The return journey was a little faster than the time when we came, and we did not encounter a group of zombies. After the encounter, the zombies on it had been baked in the sun for almost a week and turned into dry mummies. The rotten meat was originally very smelly. After being exposed to the sun, the strong stench almost made the people in the team vomit.
After passing this area in a hurry and reaching a place with a downwind, this smell was no longer smelled. Zhou Yuanqiang thought with some malice: This road is full of zombie corpses. In this kind of exposed weather, the whole road is full of stench. Coupled with the high temperature, will anyone be unable to bear it and be suffocated by these smells? Just thinking about this terrible scene, Zhou Yuanqiang was extremely grateful for his good luck to meet Ren Xinyu and know the existence of this piece of land.
Starting out in the morning, perhaps because they were familiar with the road conditions, in the evening, the convoy left the dirt road and drove back to the highway.
This place is less than 30 kilometers away from the desert settlement. It takes more than half an hour to reach it at the speed of driving on the highway, so there is no need to camp and rest overnight.
