Moreover, the soldiers work in shifts and can't come out every day. On the day they are in the residential area, they receive 150 crystal coins.

They brought back quite a lot of supplies yesterday, so all the soldiers who came out yesterday received 1,000 crystal coins, and even Fang Xiyue received 1,000 crystal coins.

If you can earn 1,000 crystals every day, that's 30,000 crystals a month.

Earn 200 crystals every day, and that's 6000 crystals a month.

Fang Xiyue's apartment rent is 3,000 crystal coins. Assuming the soldiers spend 100 crystal coins a day on food, then 6,000 crystal coins a month would be enough.

The rent for other residential buildings is 2000 crystal coins, and if food costs 100 crystal coins per day, then 5000 crystal coins would be needed per month.

Therefore, some survivors preferred to keep the supplies rather than exchange them for crystals.

They can go without hot meals, but they must have enough supplies to survive for a long time.

Of course, the soldiers exchanged all their money for crystal coins, and they ate at Fang Xiyue's shop every day.

To have more resources, you need to ensure your body gets adequate nutrition.

Many survivors shared the same idea as the soldiers, so they would go to the shops to eat.

Once they are healthy, they will be able to come out and collect supplies every day.

While collecting supplies, Fang Xiyue wondered if any of these people might be spatial ability users, or if they might be secretly hiding supplies.

She released her spiritual power to investigate, and she actually found it—a girl with a 'cute' on her head.

Perhaps because she didn't have much space, or perhaps because she was timid, she only hid a box of instant noodles and a case of bottled water.

Her backpack contained some cookies, sausages, and bread.

The backpack was packed full, roughly estimated to contain 100 crystal coins.

In other words, she gained 150 crystal coins, 100 crystal coins worth of supplies, and 240 crystal coins worth of supplies that she had been hoarding, making it a very fruitful trip.

Fang Xiyue hesitated whether to expose her, but before she could figure it out, Mengmeng was exposed by her companion.

The reason was that the girl discovered that Mengmeng had spatial abilities and wanted her to help her get some as well.

However, Mengmeng's space wasn't very big and couldn't hold much more, so she declined.

This led the girl to angrily report the incident to Zhao Liang.

Mengmeng stood awkwardly in front of Zhao Liang, while many survivors pointed and whispered among themselves.

The girl who exposed her looked at Mengmeng with a smug expression.

"Give me a reason," Zhao Liang said softly.

He asked himself if his military had been very generous in allowing these survivors to come out and collect supplies.

In fact, without them, the military would have advanced much faster.

Especially after Fang Xiyue joined, they no longer needed to move supplies, which made things much easier.

"There are four people in my family, and only I can go out to collect supplies. My parents and brother still need me to support them."

The crystal coins I received were far from enough for my family to live on.

This is the first time I've hidden supplies today. I'm returning them to you. Could you please not chase me away? Otherwise, I'll be beaten to death when I get back.

Mengmeng wiped away tears as she spoke.

Fang Xiyue understood; this was a family that was exploiting others.

Four people sent a little girl out to earn crystal coins, while they stayed home and enjoyed the fruits of her labor.

Zhao Liang never expected that such a thing would happen in their jurisdiction.

"Considering this is your first offense and you didn't take any supplies, we'll forgive you this time. Go back to your unit."

Zhao Liang waved his hand and then stood on the steps.

"I want to emphasize this point once again."

From now on, the military will never allow anyone to hoard supplies, and no matter what their reasons are, they will not be forgiven.

These supplies are essential for our future survival, and the military is not collecting them for our own benefit.

In the future, these treatments will still be used on survivors and on our fellow countrymen.

You still have resources to collect now, but what about later?

The supplies will eventually run out, and at that time, these supplies will be everyone's hope for survival.

At that time, as long as everyone works hard to kill zombies, they can get crystals and exchange them for survival supplies, understand?

You are not helping others now, you are helping yourselves, saving your future selves' lives!

Zhao Liang spoke with great passion, clearly explaining the advantages and disadvantages involved.

The survivors below fell silent. How could they have forgotten that supplies would eventually run out?

How could they forget that the factory had already shut down and the water and electricity had been cut off?

Previously, they did feel it was unfair. Why should they be the ones to collect supplies, but in the end they could only get such a small amount of supplies and crystals?

The lion's share went to the military, apparently because of their long-term plan.

If the supplies are all divided up now, can everyone really go far?

They had initially thought the military was greedy, but it turned out they were all well-intentioned, and a sense of guilt overwhelmed all the survivors.

"Those who have finished collecting the supplies, go out and put your supplies in their designated places."

After a twenty-minute break, we'll continue rescuing the survivors in the dormitory building.

As soon as Zhao Liang finished speaking, the survivors lined up and left the main building.

Fang Xiyue, of course, stayed inside to store the supplies from the main building into her spatial storage.

They mainly took away all the supplies from the supermarket and the paper from the printing room, including all consumables.

"My space is so small, I can't hide anything even if I want to."
