Tao Zheng was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Captain Shang, this matter is of great importance. I would like to go back and discuss it with my companions before giving you a reply."
Captain Shang nodded in understanding, his tone tinged with hope. "That's as it should be. You can discuss it first and see which form of compensation you prefer. Regardless, the mothership will do its best to meet your needs."
Tao Zheng stood up and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Captain Shang, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
In fact, due to the emergency situation, part of his troops had already been taken over by the mothership and the cruiser.
But this is only temporary.
They were all very envious of the Zhou family who had their own dormitory on the middle floor of the mothership.
But if everyone can have an extra month's worth of food reserves, they will have more chances of surviving the apocalypse!
Tao Zheng cannot make decisions for everyone.
After returning to his temporary dormitory, Tao Zheng immediately summoned several key members on the cruise ship.
He explained Captain Shang's proposals one by one, and then asked, "Everyone, what do you think? Should we choose food, or strive for accommodation on the mothership?"
Zhang Jia was among them. After some thought, she said, "If we can be arranged on the mothership, we won't have to worry about safety issues. No matter what dangers we encounter at sea, with the mothership's protection, our lives will be fully guaranteed!"
They originally fled to the deep sea on the Gu family's cruise ship. In a panic, they had no choice but to go further and further away from the main force.
Fortunately, many people joined them later, and they have persisted until now.
Along the way, they also changed several large cruise ships.
But their cruise ships are as small as ants in front of the mothership and cannot compare to its grandeur!
The other man shook his head and said, "But space on the mothership is already very tight. Even if we could accommodate them, we'd probably only be able to live on the lower floors. The environment on the lower floors is already poor, and with the dampness and smell, it might not be much better than what we have now. Why not choose food? At least we can stop worrying about food for a while."
Others nodded.
Most people think food is the most important thing.
There are also a small number of people who agree with Zhang Jia's opinion.
"I've been observing these days and have also asked ordinary survivors on the mothership. Some of them have jobs on the mothership, while some don't. However, the mothership will distribute relief food based on individual circumstances. They won't let anyone go hungry, especially the elderly, the weak, women, and children..."
Another person said.
But others countered: "Although they initially stockpiled a lot of whale meat, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and we don't know what will happen in the future. Since the mother ship promised to compensate us, food must be the priority."
Everyone had different opinions, and they were all talking and trying to convince each other.
Tao Zheng listened to everyone's discussion and gradually came up with an idea.
He raised his hand to signal silence, his tone steady, "Everyone has their own opinions, and they all have their own ideas. I will discuss this with Captain Shang and see if we can allow everyone to choose according to their individual preferences. Everyone can freely choose to receive food, or just ask for a bunk on the mothership."
This is a two-way choice and no one can be forced!
Therefore, Tao Zheng's statement takes everyone into consideration.
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Captain Shang naturally had no objection.
From his point of view, or from the perspective of the mother ship, it is most suitable to manage the newly joined team by breaking them up and mixing them with the original residents.
Because Tao Zheng only brought a few hundred people.
He himself also comes from the military, and his management has many similarities with that of the mother ship.
In times of crisis, he is also willing to sacrifice personal interests to safeguard collective interests.
Therefore, Captain Shang did not make the same demands on them as he did on Xue Wuwen and his team.
Now after hearing Tao Zheng's request, he agreed readily.
Those who are willing to get a bed on the mother ship will be listed and assigned one by one.
The survivors who were willing to receive a month's worth of food were arranged on a destroyer and another cruise ship.
The space on the mothership is really limited. Even if there are vacancies in the inventory, there can only be room for a few hundred people.
There are still more than a thousand people with Captain Tajima.
They had volunteered to stay on Island No. 1 and had all contributed to the mothership, so naturally they should be given priority.
Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia also received some special treatment and were arranged to live in the dormitory on the 5th floor of the mother ship.
Because of the shortage of beds, they shared a dormitory with two other families.
Their dormitory is a little bigger than the Zhou family's and can accommodate six people.
A total of 8 people lived there.
Together with their respective supplies, the narrow aisle was packed.
But Zhang Jia relaxed from the bottom of his heart.
With a place to live on the mothership, they no longer have to struggle like before no matter what kind of natural disasters or dangers they encounter.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu even came to visit.
He brought several gifts, including two pounds of kelp, two pickled and smoked fish, and one pound of fresh krill.
As a long-time friend, Zhang Jia didn't hesitate to be polite with her. As he accepted the gift, he scolded her, "Supplies are so hard to come by these days, and you're so generous to come and bring a gift."
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "You guys have officially taken root on the mothership, so we have to come celebrate. My parents and Mu Mu both said they wanted to come, but there are so many people here that it's not convenient, so only Xiao Yu and I came."
Tao Zheng smiled and asked them to sit down: "The place is too small, so just sit wherever you want."
People nowadays don’t care about this. The place is too narrow, so they just sit on the bed below.
Qi Mingyu looked around and saw that this dormitory for eight people was closed with various curtains, giving each of them a small private space.
Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia live in bunk beds.
Their upper and lower bunks were covered with curtains.
"Is this your bed? Are all the supplies under it?"
"Yes!"
