The Book of Doomsday: Little Cannon Fodder Trying to Survive

"There are many ordinary people in the military camp, aren't they all living well?" Song Zexin said, looking at the disfigured Yang Xue. "Take her down and reissue her ID card. Just treat her like an ordinary person. Only the most basic points can be given to her, and no other benefits are allowed. Anyone who gives her benefits on his own initiative must be punished."

The two soldiers took Yang Xue out despite her resistance. Even after she was taken out, they could still hear her screaming. When everything around them quieted down, Song Zexin looked at Tang Tang impatiently, thinking about how to express his ideas and get her to agree.

"If you don't say anything, I'll leave first." Tang Tang looked at the man's changing expression in front of her, and it was obvious that he had no good ideas. Suddenly, she regretted agreeing to Song Yi's request so easily. This man was very cunning and she might not be able to outsmart him.

"Please, don't leave in such a hurry. I'm too excited. Can you listen to my request before making a decision?" Song Zexin said hurriedly.

"First of all, I have no intention of joining your military camp. I don't like being bound, and I don't want to be bound. Before I came here, Song Yi had already told me about the situation here, and I promised him to come and help. I think that as a leader you don't have to rack your brains to think about how to keep me here or play tricks, but quickly plan where to go to collect supplies starting tomorrow. If you procrastinate, people from other bases will loot all the useful supplies." Tang Tang said directly.

"No, Tang Tang, what do you mean? What do you mean by other bases coming to plunder supplies?" Song Yi asked intensely after hearing Tang Tang's words.

"That's what it means! On my way here, I met people from the Central Survivor Base collecting food in your territory." Tang Tang replied.

"These bastards are so shameless. The notice clearly said that everyone should go their separate ways and make good use of the available resources in their own territories. But they just ignored the words in the blink of an eye." Song Yan said angrily.

"What's the point of getting angry about something like this? The communications haven't been fully set up yet, and everything is done through the radio. We can only compete with them in speed. Ms. Tang..." Song Zexin said, looking at Tang Tang.

"Stop, just call me by my name. It makes me look old when you call me that." Tang Tang said with a frown on his face.

"Tang Tang, I did want to keep you in the barracks and serve us at all costs in the beginning. But I can see that you don't want that. So, let's be frank. Tell me what you think and I'll see if I can agree with you. I don't have to try so hard to get you into the barracks. As long as you can sincerely help us get through this difficult time, that'll be fine."

"You are Song Yi's uncle, and Song Yi is my friend. Since I promised to help him, I will definitely help him. You don't have to worry about this. I don't have too many requirements. I just want Song Yi to accompany me every time I go on a mission. I trust him and he won't cheat me. I also need someone I trust relatively well to be around to keep records or something. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I will help, but everything will follow the normal process. I don't want anything to happen between us that would be thankless." Tang Tang said directly.

"That's fine. We'll discuss the specific content of the cooperation later. What do you need as a reward?" Song Zexin asked.

"What is the reward for those who give out tasks in your military camp?"

“Usually it’s points or improved benefits.”

"Then I'll give all my points or benefits to my companions." Tang Tang said.

"Sure, that's fine. Let Lei Lei register a name for your team, and you can earn points when you go on missions in the future."

"Is Feng Lei your relative?" Tang Tang asked, looking at the people in the room.

"Yes, Lei Lei is my nephew."

"Okay then, I'll leave this to you. You can discuss other matters among yourselves, and I'll only be responsible for carrying the supplies. You don't need to tell me anything else. Please find someone to take me to my companions."

"Then let's go together. Lei Lei is going home today and I'll take you there." Song Zexin said.

"Feng Lei has gone home, but what about Wang Cheng and the others? Are they also at your house?" Tang Tang asked.

"No one else has. Since Lei Lei is back, he has to stay at home. The others chose to settle down in the villa in Area B. They are not together." Song Zexin explained.

"Then find someone to take me to area B. I'll go meet up with them. Just find me there if you have any problems." Tang Tang said.

"Tang Tang, you and Brother Feng Lei are companions, why don't you come to my house and sit down together?" Song Yi invited.

"No need. You know me. I have no taste and I can't speak. I feel uncomfortable in unfamiliar places. You can come to our place when you have time. We will treat you to delicious food." Tang Tang said with a smile.

"Okay then, do you know my uncle's address? I'll send Tang Tang there first and go back later." Song Yi said to Song Zexin.

Song Zexin told Song Yi the address and told him not to come home too late because there was a party at home today and he couldn't miss it. Song Yi said goodbye to everyone and walked out with Tang Tang.

"Thank you again, Tang Tang, for coming. Don't worry, I can assure you that as long as you feel uncomfortable or unfair about the practices in the military camp, I will definitely stand by you and defend you." Song Yi hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"Is this considered as being a betrayal?" Tang Tang said with a smile.

"No, no, it doesn't count. You came to the barracks to help because of my persuasion. I would be a terrible person if I let you suffer any more injustice."

"Then thank you in advance. I hope we can have pleasant cooperation in the future." Tang Tang smiled and extended her hand to Song Yi, and Song Yi also extended his hand to shake hands in return.

"You know the way, drive." Tang Tang threw the car keys to Song Yi. After getting in the car, Song Yi drove steadily along the paved road. Sitting in the car, Tang Tang saw different living environments in different places, and she understood a little bit.

It is mentioned in the book that every base cannot refuse ordinary survivors. Not only must they be accommodated, but they must also be responsible for their meals. However, no matter which base it is, it is impossible to provide these people with the best place and the best meals. The base can only provide a relatively safe place. As for how and where to live, it is up to them. Therefore, ordinary survivors usually live in homemade tents or huts made of various waste materials. Every day, they receive food and water in sufficient quantities that are not enough to fill them up but not enough to kill them. The living conditions of ordinary survivors in this area are generally very numb. They have no direction in life and can only live one day at a time.
