The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1036 Severe Gender Imbalance
"balance?"

Yu Wen's eyes darted around, and he put his hands behind his back, saying in a deep voice, "The gender ratio in the camp is too skewed. If we count based on the age range of eighteen to sixty, men make up as much as 85 percent, while women only make up about 15 percent, which is almost six to one. It will be very difficult to balance this!"

"It's a huge gender gap... There are bound to be difficulties, but we can't ignore them!"

Zhang Su frowned and shook his head. Sexual intimacy, along with appetite and sleep, is one of the three basic desires. They cannot replace each other. Interestingly, without ensuring adequate sleep and food, the desire for sex can be suppressed...

Now that the camp is safe and everyone can sleep soundly, and there is plenty of food, even the disabled can receive basic necessities, things like sex have become a problem...

"The pressure at the Ecstasy Cave has eased somewhat, but based on my observation, there are more and more cases of jealousy and rivalry in the village recently. With the ratio so unbalanced, it will be difficult to alleviate the situation."

Yu Wen stroked his chin thoughtfully. As the population gradually increases, problems, both big and small, will slowly emerge.

"It has to be done, no matter how difficult it is..."

Zhang Su shrugged. These troublesome matters were what those in power needed to consider.

The two then fell silent.

"What are Brother Su and Teacher Yu doing? They're just standing there without saying a word."

In the parking lot, the members of the Yama Legion had finished preparing and were waiting for Zhang Su to lead the team to depart, only to find him and Yu Wen doing something in a corner.

"They must be discussing something important. Hey, Teacher Yu seems to have an idea!"

Everyone noticed Yu Wen's slightly hunched figure and raised his finger.

Indeed, a thought suddenly flashed through Yu Wen's mind, and he whispered, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think about holding a matchmaking event?"

A matchmaking event?

Zhang Su stroked his chin. This term was somewhat unfamiliar to him. It roughly meant turning the private matter of dating into a public one. Would that solve the problem?

Yu Wen noticed Zhang Su's confusion and explained, "Based on what I've learned from the village, many female comrades have the idea and need to find a partner, but they haven't found a suitable opportunity due to some objective obstacles. We should create an opportunity for them to express themselves."

"Hmm, that's not a problem, but then what? It's the same problem as before: there are more men than women. The matchmaking event might turn into a bride-snatching party!"

When the gender ratio in a small society is severely imbalanced, the side with fewer people often has the advantage of choice. However, the situation is different in the post-apocalyptic world. Women are scarce, but because women are inherently weak, they still do not have much say!

If it weren't for the camp's strict rules, the living conditions of the female members would have continued to deteriorate.

"The competition is certainly fierce, and that's when a system is needed! If you want to find a partner, you have to take responsibility. We need to formulate a Marriage Law that suits the current environment!"

The camp is not a chaotic path to survival. Marital relationships are protected, but of course, they are not limited to men. Women also have to shoulder corresponding responsibilities!
If you think that finding a man will allow you to relax and enjoy life at the camp, that's pure wishful thinking.

As management, we need results where one plus one equals more than two, not to turn hardworking and ambitious people into parasites!
Snapped!
Zhang Su clapped his hands and nodded, saying, "Your approach is quite remarkable. The Marriage Law uses ability to speak, clarifies the responsibilities and obligations of both men and women, protects stable relationships, completely eliminates all those messy things, and can even promote production and development!"

"We'll start today. We'll announce the matchmaking event after the Marriage Law is drafted! That's all, I'm leaving now."

The two finalized the plan. This matter was important from a long-term perspective, but it was not a high priority. Zhang Su entrusted the matter to Yu Wen and turned to walk towards the repaired and reinforced fire-breathing zombie van.

"Get in the car, let's go!"

At a command, nine vehicles drove out of the parking lot: a scorching hot box truck that couldn't carry any people, five large vans, and three empty vans. These vehicles weren't intended to carry people, but rather to haul cargo when they returned from the port.

"Reporting to the Legion Commander, all personnel are present and drivers are in position. Requesting instructions!"

Three trailer trucks were parked on the provincial highway, their containers filled with members of the two legions. Wu Daqiang jogged to the container carrying the fire-breathing zombies, stood at attention, and reported to Zhang Su. "Very good! Everyone is very efficient. Keep up with us, let's go!"

buzzing...

Once the large semi-trailer truck joined the convoy, it immediately looked impressive.

The three legions had never moved out together before; this was the first time. The procession numbered nearly three hundred people, and everyone was very excited.

Many people in Satellite Villages 1, 2, and 4 peered out as the convoy drove into the distance.

"Old Zhao, I think... you should talk to Mr. Zhang and mention that our brothers need to start the selection process as soon as possible; we can't keep dragging this on!"

Li Shuangbao watched the convoy depart with envy. He was a very ambitious person and didn't like being idle at the camp.

Zhao Linfeng didn't seem to mind, but he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Brother Zhang. But in my opinion... they must be busy with an important mission and probably won't be able to find the time."

……

Inside the van, White and McCree sat in the back, their upright postures making them look like they were listening to a five-star general's speech, all because there was a zombie sitting in front of them...

Today's ice-breaking operation requires the use of fire-breathing zombies, so the program will naturally accompany it. However, even if it's not needed, it will still come along because Zhang Su promised it that he wouldn't leave it alone in the camp again. But Lucky and Lightning didn't participate!

Next to the program was Zheng Xinyu. The two, a human and a zombie, were communicating in a unique way, and the topic they were discussing seemed quite interesting. Occasionally, Zheng Xinyu's soft laughter could be heard.

The translator was no longer Liu Lingping, but Zuo Fengjuan. As a biology teacher, her English was not bad. She had even substituted for English teachers at school. She had a remarkable talent for languages ​​since childhood. If it weren't for her ordinary family background, she would most likely have gone abroad for further studies.

Throughout the journey, Zhang Su chatted with White and McCree, not only learning about the situation on the aircraft carrier through them, but also relaying the situation on land to them.

When the two learned that only one in a thousand people were survivors, they were devastated...

I was originally thinking about how to return to America, but in a world where order has collapsed and civilization is barely surviving, is there still hope?

The convoy crossed the Haihe River, took the North Second Ring Road, entered Qincheng, and arrived at the port. The route was now unobstructed. There were certainly still zombies hidden in the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, but they posed no threat to the convoy.

As the convoy entered the port, the deserted docks were revitalized.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

The container was opened, and the legion members quickly assembled and lined up. It was their first time following the leader of the Yama Legion on a mission, and everyone was eager to make a good impression!

"Right dress, front dress, at ease, attention!"

After Wu Daqiang finished organizing the troops, he looked to the side and saw the commander-in-chief talking to a foreigner. So he said to the troops again, "At ease, wait in place!"

"This one looks alright, okay, let's include that one over there..."

More than twenty cargo ships of various sizes were docked in the port. Zhang Su was confirming the selection of ships with White and McCrae. After some deliberation, a large "√" was sprayed on the hull of the ship that needed to break ice!
With a clear goal, the action had direction, and everyone sprang into action, taking out the right tools. The clanging sounds echoed throughout the port.

The program controls the fire-breathing zombie to carry out ice-breaking operations. It doesn't need to be responsible for the detailed work around the ship's hull, but instead focuses on a large area, with an efficiency comparable to twenty legion members working together!

Zhang Su did not personally break the ice. Instead, he led a group of people to conduct a basic inspection of the cargo ship. They did not expect it to be perfect, but at least it had to be able to start and not leak. As for the severely rusted cargo holds, no one cared.
