Falling into the Cretaceous

Zhang Qiming was quick-witted; he noted down the group assignments Shen Ye had mentioned and then began his work.

"Zhou Jian, Ning Yan, go and count the number of people. How many men and women are able to work, how many children and wounded who are unable to work, and then report back to Brother Ye," Zhang Qiming instructed.

Zhou Jian and Ning Yan nodded, not feeling there was anything wrong with obeying Zhang Qiming.

Clearly, in handling the recent incident, Zhang Qiming has firmly established his status as the second leader in the public's mind.

Zhang Qiming looked at the flight attendant and Lan Yanyan.

"Lin Ruochu and Lan Yanyan, you two go and take stock of the existing supplies. Also, report to Brother Ye and have him make a survival assessment and formulate a survival strategy."

Zhang Qiming didn't make arrangements for the others for the time being, but instead walked towards the young man and woman who were leaning against the cabin; they had sustained minor injuries.

"Mr. Zhang!"

The young man tried to stand up, but Zhang Qiming pressed him down.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Wu, please don't call me General Manager Zhang here anymore. If it weren't for work, you wouldn't be stuck in this place with me. I should apologize to you."

Zhang Qiming sighed.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Wu shook their heads.

"No one could have predicted this would happen. How can you blame Mr. Zhang? We're injured now, Mr. Zhang, you need to take care of us. I'm afraid they'll abandon us."

Xiao Liu said cautiously.

"Don't worry, I'm now Brother Ye's second-in-command, so I'll definitely take care of you. But remember, don't call me 'General Manager Zhang' anymore, otherwise others will find an excuse to criticize me if I show favoritism towards you."

Zhang Qiming said.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang... we understand," said Xiao Liu.

Zhang Qiming glanced at the girl named Xiao Wu, who lowered her head and avoided eye contact with him.

Shen Ye sat on the rock.

Mike, a Black man, and several of his white companions walked over, and he took out a cigarette and handed it to them.

"Hey bro, have a cigarette, this is the kind of cigarette you Chinese like to smoke." Mike spoke in Mandarin, but his Chinese was so bad that it sounded a bit comical.

Shen Ye took it, picked up a piece of charcoal, and lit the cigarette.

He doesn't actually smoke.

However, in this kind of environment, being able to smoke a cigarette is definitely a very good way to relieve stress.

"Brother Ye, don't assign us dangerous work, or don't blame us for disobeying!"

Mike stated his request directly.

Clearly, they didn't submit to Shen Ye as their leader, but he knew how to survive, so they temporarily chose to follow his lead.

Shen Ye glanced at them.

"Very well, I'll arrange for you to do embroidery, and let the children and women do the dangerous work!"

Shen Ye mocked.

They sneered and walked away. Shen Ye understood that these people wouldn't listen to him, but it didn't matter. Managing people was something the Chinese excelled at; they had more than enough stratagems to employ.

At this moment, Ning Yan and Zhou Jian returned. They had found a pen and notebook somewhere and wrote down the personnel information on the paper.

Shen Ye glanced at it.

The record above is very detailed.

Twenty people had hand injuries and were able to perform some manual labor, while eight people had single-leg injuries, making it difficult for them to move and allowing them to do only manual labor.

Those with minor injuries were not recorded, but were counted as members of the workforce.

There were 35 men and 17 women.

There are a total of 52 healthy workers.

Among the 11 men with poor physical strength, 6 were over 50 years old and 5 were obese young men weighing over 250 pounds.

Four of the women had diabetes.

There are only 3 children.

They are all over ten years old, which is about the same age as Ningbo.

At this moment, Lin Ruochu and Lan Yanyan also returned.

"Brother Ye, the supplies are all concentrated in the cabin. I've asked Ningbo to guard them! Brother Ye, do you want to go take a look?" Lan Yanyan said.

Shen Ye nodded.

They followed Lan Yanyan to the front section of the cabin.

The supplies inside were pitifully scarce: only ten bottles of water, a few square bags of food, a few backpacks and clothes, and some miscellaneous daily necessities.

Most importantly, there is a first-aid kit.

The first-aid kit was fully stocked with emergency medications.

But with so many injured people, there's simply no way to take care of everyone.

These medicines must be used to their fullest potential and cannot be wasted, which may require some seriously injured people to make concessions.

After all, he could only give the medicine to those who had the best chance of survival.

"Go ask if there are any doctors or nurses," Shen Ye said to Lan Yanyan and Lin Ruochu.

"There's a doctor here, I'll go and call her over."

Lin Ruochu pointed in a direction and said.

Shen Ye saw the female doctor, a short-haired woman in her forties, who was giving the wounded a simple bandage.

The materials used were tree branches and strips of cloth.

"Dr. He, Brother Ye is calling for you."

He Yun merely raised her eyelids to glance at him before lowering her head again: "His leg isn't injured, is it?"

"No," Lin Ruochu said.

"If he doesn't have one, tell him to come find me. I'm busy," He Yun said. She was indeed busy, as the wounded soldiers leaned against the edge of the stern hull, groaning and moaning.

Shen Ye glanced over there and understood what was going on.

"Keep this medicine box safe. No one is allowed to use it without my permission," Shen Ye said to Zhou Jian beside him.

"Okay, Wild Bro!"

Shen Ye walked towards He Yun.

"Dr. He, may I talk to you alone?" Shen Ye asked.

He Yun initially intended to ignore it.

Because she knew exactly what Shen Ye wanted to say, she knew it all too well, but she still stood up and walked to the side with Shen Ye.

"Speak," He Yun said.

"You seem to have a problem with me." Seeing her displeasure, Shen Ye didn't get to the point and asked instead.

"I know what you're trying to say. It's that there's a shortage of medication, and you want me to use the medication on those with minor injuries who have a better chance of survival, while using less medication on those with serious injuries, right?"

He Yun asked blankly.

Do you think there's a problem with my arrangement?

Shen Ye nodded and asked.

"No problem, this is the most reasonable arrangement."

He Yun looked at the patients in pain and sighed.

"We must consider the issue from the perspective of the interests of the entire group. We still don't know what this world is like. Are the bacteria and viruses in this world deadly to us? Limited antibiotics and antiviral drugs are our only means of survival, and we really need to allocate them carefully."

Shen Ye said solemnly.

"You're right. Making this decision was harder for you than for anyone else. I just can't bear to see patients suffer. I have no problem with you. You go about your business." He Yun shook her head and went back to taking care of the patients.

"..."

Shen Ye also sighed. She was a doctor, and it was hard for anyone who wasn't a doctor to empathize with the feelings of patients who had medicine but couldn't use it and who watched patients get infected and die.

"Brother Ye, shouldn't we start building defensive fortifications?" Zhang Qiming asked as he walked over.

"Have you divided them into groups?" Shen Ye asked.

"Not yet, it's not the right time to form groups."

Shen Ye nodded.

He knew Zhang Qiming would handle this matter well. The plane crash had only recently occurred, and everyone was in a very low mood, so they wouldn't easily accept any arrangements.

What defensive fortifications should we build?

Zhang Qiming asked.

Shen Ye couldn't think of anything that could stop dinosaurs, and he was actually quite anxious.

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

"The discovery of Baryonyx here proves that there is a lake or river nearby. The dinosaurs that appear in this area at night are probably mostly Velociraptors, and there are also some ancient lizards. We should try to build a campfire at the camp and keep it burning until dawn. Also, you should take some people to collect metal fragments to make some spears, and make torches from clothes and resin for later use."

Shen Ye said.

He couldn't think of a better defense for the time being, so this was the only arrangement for now.
