"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long! Well, I won't waste any more time talking nonsense this time! Let's get straight to the point.

Everyone knows that we are about to enter a cold winter. Our base is really at a critical moment this time and we need everyone to lend a helping hand.

Everyone knows the base next to ours, right? Their base was flooded, and they had to distribute the people who couldn't live there to the various bases. Everyone knows the situation of our base, and we suffered relatively little loss in the siege of the turbid beasts. This time, we also managed to preserve our strength intact in the conspiracy of the God's Aid Society, so the higher-ups sent about one-third of the population to us, and these people need to eat."

As soon as these words came out, people started talking about it. "The base was flooded. Where's the food?"

"Yes, now that people have arrived, wouldn't it be nice if they brought food with them?"

"Good question." Granfan sighed, "There is no food. The food was taken away by the Divine Help Society. I won't go into details. We are now trying to solve the resettlement problem of these 200,000 people.

Even if each of these people eats two bean cakes a day, they need 400,000 bean cakes a day. They are all the pillars of the base. Can you help arrange some for the base?"

"Old Qi, aren't you researching the breeding of aquatic insects? I'll assign 5,000 people to you. When the time comes, you just need to give them food to eat and not starve to death."

When Ji He took a look, he realized that this person was none other than Qi Li’s grandfather.

Qi Li's grandfather shook his head frantically, and even shook out a phantom. "You might as well kill me. My small workshop has not made any progress yet. Five people are considered a lot now. Why do I need 5,000 people?"

"Just because there is no progress now doesn't mean there won't be development in the future. When there's no food to eat in the winter, your insect farming will have great development. So, 3,000 people, 3,000 people should be enough, right?"

Next, Granfan called out the names one by one and asked for 3,000 or 5,000.

The people below all had bitter faces and shook their heads faster than their arms.

No one wants it.

Qi Li whispered to Ji He, "I got a bug in the dungeon. It's high in protein. I'll give you some and you can raise it too."

Ji He: “…”

cockroach?

She had already adopted it.

The two chatted quietly, and after Granfan on the stage called out everyone one by one, he moved on to the next part, "After what happened with the God's Help Society, I'm sure everyone knows the importance of military strength, right? The base is anxious about everyone's concerns, so we decided to solve some practical problems for you."

Someone immediately started to make fun of us, "Old Fan, it's already this late, stop keeping us in suspense! Are you going to send us bodyguards? Let's make it clear first, we don't want ordinary people. At least they need to be trained. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won't know who will protect whom!"

"Yes, not to mention the weak bodies of ordinary people, they will only make more trouble when the time comes."

Ge Langfan smiled and nodded, "Bodyguards are only one aspect. You can also select some young and healthy people from ordinary people to take back for training. Wouldn't that be more suitable than renting a base for bodyguards?"

The base provides bodyguard rental services for these people. Not only soldiers can be rented, but even talented people can be rented as long as you can afford the food.

It’s just not cheap.

After these words were spoken, the people below fell silent again.

The bodyguards at the base are a bit expensive. In addition to two normal meals a day to keep them full, they also have to be given extra food.

But at least those people have real skills and a sense of responsibility, and the food spent is worth it.

What about ordinary people?

His physical fitness had been completely destroyed by natural disasters in the past two years, and he didn't know how to do anything. If someone didn't know, they would think he was here for retirement.

Seeing that no one spoke, Granfan didn't feel awkward. "Since bodyguards are too expensive, weapons should be fine, right? I've invested a lot of money this time! The base has specially prepared a batch of weapons for everyone. Pistols, submachine guns, sniper rifles, bulletproof vests, gas masks, everything. As long as you have food, we can discuss anything you want."

As soon as this was said, it immediately caused an uproar. The base was famous for its strict control over weapons. They had tried to find a way to get guns before but couldn't find a channel. Even if they had them, they had to hide them secretly. Now the official wanted to sell them?

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Don't play a sting operation with us here."

"How can that be possible?" Ge Langfan knew that words were not enough, so he pointed at a man at the door and said, "Xiao Sun, come here and explain it to everyone."

The man outside the door walked in. He had an ordinary appearance and was very thin.

He stood in the crowd, and a string of pictures appeared out of thin air above his head, with corresponding prices, for everyone to look at at will.

This is a gifted one.

Everyone looked at each other, are they serious?

Quite a few people actually went up to take a look.

"We don't know how to use them, why buy guns?"

Granfan smiled and said, "Hey, we have already thought of what you said. As long as anyone wants to buy a gun, we will provide a coach and a special place for practice. As long as there is food, we can also provide door-to-door pick-up and drop-off services. We guarantee to teach you until you learn. We are absolutely responsible."

Everyone nodded, this was fine.

that is.

"Why is that gun so expensive?"

A pistol contains 40 kilograms of rice, a submachine gun contains 60 kilograms of rice...

If this price was before the natural disaster, it would be free, it's ridiculously cheap.

At that time, it cost several hundred dollars to buy a replica gun.

But now, the price is really expensive.

You have to know that those professional bounty hunters are all talented, and they can only get 10 or 20 kilograms of food from a criminal at a time.

This was when the market was good before. The bounties have been lowered during this period. Not to mention the danger of catching criminals, the bounties are not that high anymore.

Now a gun costs 40 kilograms of rice?

It's simply heavenly.

"You can't say that." Granfan kept smiling. "Did you buy a gun? You bought a gun license and a deterrent to your neighbors! After you buy a gun, your neighbors will know that you have a gun and they will definitely not mess with you, right?"

Everyone just nodded.

But change your mind.

That's not right.

If they buy guns, won’t their neighbors buy guns too?

By then, wouldn’t it be a positive answer to negative two?

Granfan smiled like an old fox and asked back, "If your neighbors all bought it and you didn't, how can you sleep at night?"

Can't sleep.

Who knows if this sleep will be the last one in this life.
