The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

"The combined strength of our five families is definitely the strongest in Qincheng, no doubt about it!"

Yang Xinqi was the first to respond to the call. He could already imagine the reaction of Absolute Justice when they heard the news. They must be quite confused!

It turned out that he was always on guard against Absolute Justice causing trouble in the north, and this phenomenon could finally be alleviated in the future.

"That's right. Whether it's the number of combatants or the weapons and equipment, they are definitely the strongest. Even the guys in the Beihe District can't compare to them!"

Zhang Xin clenched his fists.

"There are more than a hundred combatants and more than six hundred logistics personnel. What a huge force..."

Li Zongkai couldn't help but sigh. In the past, half of the residential area had more than 700 or 800 people, but now only half of the urban area has this many people. What a huge gap.

"Tsk..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Zongkai finished speaking, Zhang Su smacked his lips and shook his head, saying, "The ratio of soldiers to civilians is too low. I set a standard before, the ratio of soldiers to civilians must reach three to one, which means the number of combat personnel must be three times that of logistics personnel!

Even if the population base is getting bigger and bigger, we must try to maintain a two-to-one ratio, or have strong fortifications. Otherwise, the more people there are, the larger the zombie horde will be attracted, and it will be difficult to defend! "

Logistics personnel is a nice term. In fact, there are several categories within this group. The best ones are those with special talents, like Fu Weijun, Xie Yanshan, Ma Changshou, and even Yi Xiaoling can be considered half a special talent.

Apart from a very small number of people with special talents, the rest are a large number of ordinary laborers, mainly the elderly, children, women and children, as well as some disabled but strong-willed people. They lack the ability to protect themselves, but can take on the miscellaneous and tiring work in the camp.

Then there is the most frustrating type, people who not only have no ability to protect themselves, but have even lost the ability to take care of themselves. Such situations are generally not due to subjective will, but mostly due to objective reasons. But no matter what the reason, it will cause a burden to others.

In the early stages of a disaster, such people would definitely be abandoned by the team. After all, at that time everyone was in danger and could not take care of themselves. But now it is different...

Human civilization began to sprout with difficulty in the apocalyptic wasteland. Normal forces would not abandon their companions unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Two to one... that is to say, if there are 600 people, there must be at least 400 combatants. Sigh... this is too difficult. Let's not talk about other things. Take my place. Excluding the elderly over 60, children under 12, and the disabled, there are not many left!"

Yang Xinqi shook his hands, feeling embarrassed.

Liu Yao rolled his eyes and counted, saying, "I don't have many old people and children. Except for two or three people with missing arms and legs, they can all be pulled together for training. However, some women are too low-minded. They are good at pleasing men, but they tremble when they use weapons to kill zombies. But let's make do, we can barely raise the ratio to one to one!"

There are still more than seventy people in the Little Eagle Society. Due to Liu Yao's criteria for recruiting survivors, there are basically no elderly people or children, so it is not difficult to pick out more than thirty people for combat training.

Li Zongkai saw Liu Yao and Yang Xinqi talking about the situation in their camp. He thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "My situation is somewhat similar to that of the Apocalypse Group. We have taken in some elderly people and children. At most, we can prepare one-third of the people for training, but the logistics will be a little weak."

"Oh no, you're all in trouble, so we're even more doomed. Don't even mention one-third, we'd be lucky if we could pull out one-fourth of them!"

Zhang Xin spread his hands with a helpless expression. He didn't know the core information, but he knew a lot about the situation of every cat and dog in the camp.

"cough……"

Yu Wen coughed and whispered to Zhang Su, "If we adopt the method of dispersed garrisons or satellite villages, we can consider reducing the ratio of soldiers to civilians appropriately. If the city defense construction keeps up in the later stage and people can live in a concentrated area with strong fortifications, we will not need so many combatants. Instead, the development of other aspects is more important."

Zhang Su did not deny Yu Wen's point of view. The ratio of military to civilians cannot be rigid. It is a floating value. If it is two to one, it means that two combatants are protecting themselves while taking care of one logistics staff member. But on the other hand, one logistics staff member has to complete the camp chores of three people including himself, or there is also crop production.

If we talk about the core members of Tianma Island, almost all of them are soldiers, except Fu Weijun, and Yi Xiaoling is a little clumsy when facing zombies. But if the satellite villages are included, the ratio of soldiers to civilians is basically three to two.

Judging from the current situation, this is a very comfortable ratio, but it will be difficult to maintain if there are too many people.

"It's a bit like the relationship between the number of people paying social security and the number of people receiving pensions. Okay, let's adjust it flexibly, keeping it between 37 and 73. When we get back, all members will decide on the direction to pay attention to and start working on it immediately."

Zhang Su decided not to worry about it for the time being because there were more important things at hand.

"No one will disagree. In my opinion, it is unnecessary to ask for opinions."

Liu Yao said very frankly.

"That is, what else do they want?"

Yang Xinqi and Zhang Xin also felt that the survivors living at the bottom of the power structure had no choice but to obey arrangements.

"It's better to follow Mr. Zhang's request and go through the motions. How to choose is their business, whether they can be chosen is our attitude. Let's give everyone a chance and don't leave any hidden dangers."

Li Zongkai knew what Zhang Su was thinking and explained it for him.

"What Lao Li said is very right. I know that those survivors at the bottom have no choice, but that doesn't stop us from giving them a chance to choose. We should be tough when we need to be tough, and be generous when we can be generous."

Zhang Su generously shared his experience of being a leader with those present. These people will be needed to manage a certain group of people in the future. If they are allowed to operate in the same way as before, it probably won't work.

"While we are dealing with these issues, there is another task that needs to be carried out at the same time, which is to establish a communication network. I believe that through this incident, you have all seen the importance of instant communication. This is a top priority! Lao Li, do you have enough equipment to connect the five of us?"

Zhang Su brought up another matter.

"Oh..." Li Zongkai frowned and said, "There are some equipment, but I don't understand this aspect. I'll ask a professional later. Only those who understand can operate it."

"Okay, I have someone here who specializes in electronic communication equipment. Let him help us when the time comes... Let's just deal with these issues for now. Let's take a night's rest. We'll set out early tomorrow morning. I haven't been to the city for a long time, so I'm really looking forward to it."

Zhang Su was lying on a chair with a look of nostalgia in his eyes. Suddenly he noticed that Ju Wuying was looking at him. He sat up again and said, "By the way, do you know what's going on at the beach? Can we go out to sea?"

"The beach? I've never been there..."

"I'm not sure, but you can ask the people who found the safe camp over there."

"It's so cold, the shores with low salinity must be frozen, King Yan Luo, why are you going out to sea?"

Liu Yao asked curiously.

Zhang Su curled his lips and said, "I need to go out to sea for something, but since I don't know, let's just leave it like this for now. I'll go and see for myself when I have a chance. Okay, go ahead and have fun. I don't have any entertainment here. If you want to play cards, play cards. Don't go to the mountains in the dark. It would be unfair if you don't get bitten by zombies and fall to death in the ravine..."

"Haha, don't worry."

"It's a good time to call my men to a meeting to discuss tomorrow's plan."

"I have to say it, King Yan Luo, this place is quite suitable for retirement. Life is too dull."

Several people got off the car one after another, and finally only Yu Wen and Ju Wuying were left in the car.

"Sakura, what's going on?"

Zhang Su waited for the car door to close and asked directly.

"Liu Yao and Yang Xinqi are hostile to each other. Their attitudes towards you, as well as Zhang Xin's, are normal, but Li Zongkai's attitude towards you..."

Having said that, Tachibana Mai Sakura frowned slightly.

Zhang Su's heart trembled. He never thought that Ju Wuying could even sense the special connection between him and Li Zongkai. This was too damn incredible. He quickly interrupted and said, "Okay, I get it. Well, I told Xiaoshan that you should go to her to get two bottles of good wine as a reward for escorting the hostages today."

Seeing this, Yu Wen couldn't help but twitch his lips. He looked at Zhang Su with a strange look in his eyes, then looked through the car window at Li Zongkai's back in the distance, secretly speculating on the relationship between the two that was not known to outsiders. It was strange, too strange, could it be...

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Not knowing what he was thinking about, Yu Wen coughed.

"Old Yu, are you okay?"

Zhang Su sat up and asked with concern, "I hope this old staff officer won't get into trouble."

"I choked, I choked on my saliva..." Yu Wen wiped the corner of his mouth awkwardly.

Tachibana Maiying's eyes flickered faintly, and she said calmly: "Don't rush to send me away, I haven't finished my words yet."

"I'm not chasing you away. If you haven't finished talking, then go ahead and say it..."

Zhang Su raised his hand, signaling her to speak.

"Li Zongkai..."

"Didn't I say not to talk about him?"

"It's not directed at you, it's just that Li Zongkai has a slight hostility towards you!" Tachibana Wuying said slowly.

"what?"

"what?"

This time, not only Zhang Su was surprised, but Yu Wen was also confused, thinking to himself, is he jealous?
