Chapter 775: The Deterrent Power of Severe Punishment

“Leader, Leader Sir.”

Yang Dongxin watched the backs of Liu Yao and Huang Langcai leaving, somewhat hesitantly said, “Just now, was Huang Langcai sincerely apologizing? Will he retaliate against me later?”

“He definitely won’t retaliate, Old Yang. It’s commendable that you dared to stand out today, but you need to pay attention to your approach in the future. Everyone has just arrived here; the management styles of each camp were different before, and some people have quite wild temperaments, not knowing their limits!”

Zhang Su educated Yang Dongxin,

“Eh, eh, I was just anxious for a moment, well… Leader Sir, can I apply for a, um… camera? Surveillance camera.”

Yang Dongxin rubbed his hands and asked.

“We do have them, but the wiring is a problem…” Zhang Su frowned, then suddenly had a realization, laughed, and said, “I understand now, hehe, you sly old fellow, you’ve got some ideas.”

Yang Dongxin scratched his head, “These are just some clever little tricks, not worth mentioning. It will still rely on your great leadership for the camp to develop and grow.”

His idea was simple, hang up a surveillance camera, connect it to power with the lights on, most people have no idea about the storage principle of surveillance and would surely think it’s the real deal, then post a note saying ‘Surveillance Connected to Celestial Horse Island,” written in red, make it big, ensure it has deterrence!

Zhang Su didn’t chat much with Yang Dongxin, had someone take him to get the camera, a group of core members gathered curiously asking about the situation, after Zhang Su said a few words, he went back to Little Lucky with Yuwen as there were still important matters to handle.

On the mountain, Zhang Su and Yuwen worked late into the night organizing personnel appointments and dismissals, while down in Satellite Village it was bustling.

Earlier, Liu Yao’s punishment of Du Shi and Huang Langcai was quite loud, many people knew the three went to Celestial Horse Island, eager to see the follow-up results. Now the follow-up came, scaring many.

Liu Yao, not daring to hide anything, told the people the whole story, along with Huang Langcai’s personal account, leaving those who came to watch the excitement silent.

“Brother Zhang is truly killing, my gosh, so strict!”

A member of the women’s army murmured among the crowd, surrounded by women who came from Kuanzhuang.

Su Xiaoya had a somewhat peculiar expression, looking in the direction of Celestial Horse Island from afar, not knowing what she was thinking.

Liu Lan looked at Du Shi’s cold corpse, eyebrows furrowed, some thoughts began to waver in her heart, she felt some things perhaps shouldn’t be clung to, just let them fade over time and that might be fine…

Yang Xinqi, Wu Baokang, and Li Zongkai, who had a little responsibility, all felt a pressure.

Though there was no explicit appointment, they were managing things more or less, none of them wanted their brothers and friends to end up like Du Shi!

Some felt nervous, but more were relieved!

When displaced outside with basic needs unmet, humanity loses its bottom line, but now living in a civilized Survivor Camp, more people are willing to set an example to maintain this precious order!

Strict law enforcement is the greatest comfort and protection for surviving complaisant.

Those without ill intentions in their hearts wouldn’t mind the punishments being too severe!

Village No.1 and Village No.2 were close, after the announcement, Liu Yao didn’t rest, went to Village No.3 and repeated the story, causing the originally quiet Village No.3 to bustle anew.

Compared to Village No.1 and Village No.2, Village No.3’s fighters mainly came from Bridge Town and Niu YaZI, these two groups were evidently superior in overall quality compared to Little Eagle Association, Survivor Alliance, and Apocalypse Corps.

After learning about Du Shi and Huang Langcai, they just internally took heed without much worry, instead privately supporting Zhang Su’s decision.

In a collective of over seven hundred people, there would inevitably be dark-hearted ruffians, Du Shi and Huang Langcai’s incident acted as a strong medicine, rapidly dissipating the “inflammation” within Celestial Horse Island, providing time for space, a stable environment could calm those hot-tempered fellows.

As long as they felt the benefits brought by order, everyone would try to play the role of a good citizen.

…

Dozens of kilometers away, in a village near Cloud Dragon Valley, because of its proximity to Mountain and Sea District, most houses in the village showed varying degrees of damage, even more severe than the worst Village No.3 of Satellite Village.

Approximately thirty percent of houses collapsed, with more fractured and broken ones.

If walking to find intact houses was very difficult, but under drone night shots, the preserved houses were clearly visible.

A relatively intact farmhouse chimney was smoking away, seven people sat around the stove chatting, warming themselves.

The courtyard walls of two adjacent homes had collapsed, but the buildings were intact, each roof had a lookout person.

For security, the vehicles were parked in the two courtyards respectively.

During the first shift, it’s Lu Yubo on lookout near Mountain Sea side, while Shen Linrui was personally guarding Dragon Head Camp.

“Then, Xiaowu, you’re the brother who’s been closest to King Yama for the longest time?”

The speaker was Zhou Haiquan, the oldest of the five-man group of Dragon Head Camp, taking off his shoes to warm his feet, because of the cold his feet weren’t sweating, basically no smell.

Wu Lue, hearing this, laughed with pride, nodded and said, “Of course, the one who’s known Brother Su the longest in the whole camp is, no, actually not me, it’s Sister Xue, no, actually… Brother Zhuzi, the new blacksmith master seems to have known Brother Su longer?”

Zhao Dezhu, with a cigarette in his mouth, stirred the stove fire and nodded, said, “That’s right, the big brother said he’s had business dealings with Master Ding for seven or eight years, damn, this place always feels eerie, where’s the draft coming from, are you guys cold?”

As he spoke, he got up to pick a piece of corpse part thrown into the stove, making the fire burn more brightly.

Originally, Dragon Head Camp people planned to make a bonfire in the courtyard, but this plan was vetoed by Duan Wuhu!

Logically within twenty kilometers radius there shouldn’t be survivors, except for Celestial Horse Island and dispatched Dragon Head Camp personnel, mostly doomsday survival enthusiasts, a couple, but what if there are others?

Vast land, can’t guarantee a village has someone dwelling always, what if they have bad intentions causing trouble, very annoying.

The crucial point isn’t humans, but zombies, the temperature and brightness of the fire also attracts zombies, while the nine-person group’s combat power is impressive, who wishes to become a zombie target?

Fortunately, every rural house has a chimneyed stove, lighting it is akin to a western fireplace, warming the whole room, lay floorboards, palm mats on the ground, then a layer of blankets, with no pressure camping indoors.

“Let me do a divination, see how this place’s Feng Shui is.”

A middle-aged man from Dragon Head Camp took out several Copper Coins from his pocket, talking while shaking them within his palms, the coins collided with a crisp ding sound.

“Divine again… what was that thing you divined last night? What you’re talking about, something loss, was it accurate?”

The man taking out the Copper Coins for divination was named Yuan Huotu, because a seer said he lacked fire and earth in his fate, he directly took this name, at the time was skimped on knowledge, unaware of four fires being ’’, four earths being , later knew but was too lazy to change…

Criticizing Yuan Huotu was Pu Chanyong, the youngest among Dragon Head Camp’s five-person group.

“How not accurate!”

Yuan Huotu clasped his hands tightly together, staring at Pu Chanyong, said, “Mountain and Lake Loss Hexagram, saying we would suffer loss, you tell me whether there was any loss, was it right? Then it advises us to use positive attitude to restore situation, isn’t it gradually coming true? Integrity and contribution are also correct, we helped many survivors in the aftermath work on Celestial Horse Island, King Yama sent several brothers to our aid heading Mountain Sea, don’t care if those brothers have other missions, consider it or not as help for us, you say!”

After speaking, Yuan Huotu was quite unwilling to relent.

Pu Chanyong’s expression twisted, unable to speak, eventually waved his hand, “Fine, fine, you divine, divine away, who can out-divine you…”
