When Waldo looked back at Talia and Eileen's livestream, the room was already in chaos. Talia and Eileen were too busy to attend to the livestream, and the barrage was filled with uninformed onlookers.
What's going on?
User 546347: What happened? I just arrived. Can anyone who knows the situation fill me in?
User 875484: I'm not sure either, I just got here.
User 648345: Uh, I saw a bit earlier. Talia and a guy from the shelter had a heated argument, something about not having enough food, not being able to eat their fill or something like that. They just started arguing.
User 673257: This doesn't seem like a simple argument. Look at how chaotic it has become! They're starting to fight in groups. It seems like it's about to escalate!
User 754734: Look, Talia is coming over. It seems like she resolved it. The people are no longer fighting.
Talia walked up to the camera in the livestream room, looking very apologetic and continuously apologizing.
"I'm really sorry, everyone, for letting you see such a messy scene in the livestream. The issue has been resolved, so there's no need to worry."
Seeing Talia and Eileen sit back in front of the livestream camera, the viewers in the room began to ask questions.
User 854845: Phew, what exactly happened just now? Why did everyone suddenly start arguing and causing a commotion?
User 675953: Did you have an argument because of unequal distribution of resources?
User 845873: Damn, it looked like it was about to get violent. That troublemaker guy should be new here. I've never seen him before, and he clashed with the big brother who greeted us last time.
Talia looked at the comments with a bitter expression.
In reality, it wasn't a big problem. We had a sudden influx of so many survivors into our shelter, and our reserves couldn't keep up with the consumption. Some people didn't eat enough, and their emotions got impulsive, but it's quite normal.
But you don't have to worry, dear viewers. We will resolve it soon.
Upon hearing this, Waldo sneered.
Huh, if it were that easy to resolve, how nice it would be.
Many people in the livestream continued to comment.
User 743756: It's good that everything's okay now.
User 623575: However, I feel that your team's model is not quite right. After all, there are historical cases to learn from.
User 234657: Ahem, I'm from the police station, so I have a say in this as well. We used to have the same model. But when we started to grow and develop, there were too many people freeloading and waiting for death.
Later, the Sheriff directly expelled this group of people from the base, letting them fend for themselves. We established a points system and distributed resources according to labor contribution.
Honestly, Talia, while your team hasn't grown big yet, you should quickly change the system.
User 456342: That's right, equal distribution is not reliable. While the new survivors in your team haven't firmly established themselves, you should change your system. If they don't want to comply, let them leave. It won't be a big loss.
User 526334: Exactly, so that it doesn't become a chronic problem in the future.
After reading the comments attentively, Talia sighed and regained her composure.
I've seen all your suggestions, and I've seriously considered them. Indeed, we have taken big steps, and we will reform our team's distribution model and livestream it for everyone to watch. So, make sure to pay attention!
At this moment, another viewer reminded them.
User 453673: That troublemaker from earlier, I always felt he was restless. You should be careful.
User 735474: I think such restless elements should be removed early on, like time bombs.
User 865856: Yes, yes, I think so too!
However, Talia just smiled dismissively at this proposal.
There's no need to worry too much. He's actually not bad. He's new here, and his impulsive behavior stemmed from not getting enough to eat. After all, we promised to feed everyone. Other team members went to calm him down just now, so he's settled now. Hehe.
While Talia was speaking, a loud noise erupted behind her.
Gunshots followed soon after.
Within the underground fortress, a group of new survivors who had joined recently broke away from the group and raised their handguns, shooting at others.
Many people were caught off guard and defenseless, resulting in casualties.
The original members of Talia's team fell to the ground.
The leader of the group was none other than the unreliable newcomer mentioned in the comments, the burly man.
At this moment, he was walking towards Talia and Eileen with a gun in his hand.
Talia wanted to take out a gun from her backpack but was immediately held at gunpoint by the burly man.
"If I were you, I wouldn't make any sudden moves," the man said.
Talia and Eileen had no choice but to comply, their hands tied behind their backs, their faces filled with despair.
All of this was being recorded and livestreamed. All the viewers could see it.
Despite being taken captive, Talia remained composed and asked, "Franklin, why are you doing this? Has our team mistreated you in any way?"
Franklin, the burly man, smirked.
"What do you think? Haven't we mistreated you?"
Talia was puzzled.
"Have we?"
Upon hearing her question, Franklin directly grabbed Talia by the throat, speaking harshly, "How haven't we? I've been working the hardest these past two days. I carried one-third of the wood in the warehouse today. And what's the result? I can't even eat enough! Isn't that mistreatment?"
Talia was at a loss for words.
"I, I don't know."
Franklin cursed loudly, "What do you even know? Behind me are all the guys who came here because of your reputation. And what do they get? They do the most difficult and tiring work but eat the least. And here you are, still livestreaming! Damn it!"
Talia bit her lip lightly, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, I will change the distribution model."
"Change? It's too late! It's my turn to be the leader now!"
Franklin burst into laughter, and he forcefully tore apart Talia's flimsy shirt, revealing her innocent and fair skin.
Talia tried to step back, but Franklin firmly grasped her neck.
She panicked.
"What are you doing, Franklin?!"
Franklin looked at the camera in the livestream room.
Some comments in the livestream were criticizing him, but he ignored them.
"What am I doing? I'm livestreaming, of course! It's a live broadcast on the scene to make some supplies. Perfect timing!"
Then, Franklin dragged Eileen over, threw both sisters onto a couch, and adjusted the livestream camera's angle.
Talia cried and pleaded, "Don't touch my sister!"
Franklin paid no attention, sneering, "Are you telling me what to do?"
He took off his own clothes and eagerly jumped onto the couch.
