At this moment, Song Yuan was looking at the document in front of him with a headache, and Gu Xiao was constantly reporting in his ears. Each thing pointed directly to one thing!

Food shortage...!

There are now nearly 38,000 people in the Longcheng base. Among the nearly 40,000 people, 30% are from the military, 30% are from the former base commander's forces and the psychic brigade, and the remaining 40% are ordinary people without superpowers.

Among the remaining 40% of ordinary people, countless people froze to death or starved to death in the base every day.

For humans nowadays, apart from the threat of zombies, the more direct threat is the lack of food and clothing, which has become one of the biggest reasons for the death of humans!

Moreover, the supplies in the military and bases are not abundant. After all, no matter how much food is stored, it is not enough for so many people to eat every day.

Gu Xiao had already mentioned in his report this time that the military’s expenditure was insufficient and many of the soldiers under him were already eating porridge!

Making soldiers drink porridge was something Song Yuan could easily figure out. If this situation continued for a long time, it would definitely cause a mutiny!

"Boss, the news from Qin Qing isn't optimistic! While Dingyuan City does have a lot of supplies, there are also a lot of zombies. Only a handful of people in the military have superpowers. Going to Dingyuan City would probably just mean they'd die in vain! And the Superpower Brigade, while they claim to be joining forces, are actually still independent! Add to that the six families' hidden spies, and I'm afraid after a while, the people below will be instigated to cause trouble. By then, it might be too late to come up with a solution!"

Gu Xiao's brows have been furrowed for a while. When he saw the number of deaths in the report, no matter how hard-hearted he was, he couldn't help but tremble!

Moreover, these civilians who starved to death or froze to death were all from the Longcheng base!

He believed that Song Yuan was even more upset and angry than he was.

If the previous base commander hadn't left such a mess, they would be so worried!

"Report to the commander, Captain Qin of the Longcheng team requests a meeting!"

"……who?"

When Gu Xiao heard what the guard said when he knocked on the door, he was unable to react for a moment.

Song Yuan's originally frowned brows suddenly relaxed, and before Gu Xiao could react, he nodded to the guard!

"Oh my god, Captain Qin, it turns out it's your Qin Qing who's here!"

When Gu Xiao saw Song Yuan's expression, he immediately understood what he meant!

She curled her lips and said, "I'm telling you, romance is one thing, but you have to focus on your business! I'm leaving now and won't disturb your love anymore!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out!

When Qin Qing came in, he just passed by Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao gave Qin Qing another familiar and vulgar smile. Seeing his expression, Qin Qing's forehead twitched. He wanted to hit him, but what should he do?

"Song Yuan, your men seem to be a bit brainless."

As soon as he entered, Qin Qing pointed outside and said with a frown.

"I think so too. I guess I broke his brain!"

Song Yuan stood up and replied seriously.

After hearing what Song Yuan said, Qin Qing felt embarrassed to say anything more!

The sudden silence made Qin Qing think of what happened yesterday, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward!

Qin Qing couldn't help but clear his throat and glared at Song Yuan. If he hadn't done that yesterday, he wouldn't have thought too much about it!

"Sit down! Why did you come to see me today?"

Song Yuan seemed not to feel Qin Qing's murderous look. He walked to the side, poured a cup of tea, placed it in front of Qin Qing, and then asked in a gentle voice.

Damn, what a gentle voice?

Qin Qing turned her head away so that Song Yuan wouldn't see her slightly red face. She calmed down for three seconds before turning back!

She said with a straight face, "You were going to Dingyuan City before, so you must have needed supplies there, right?"

"Yes, I made it clear when I gave you the information before! The base needs the supplies from Dingyuan City!"

When Song Yuan heard Qin Qing's words, he clasped his hands together under his chest and nodded.

He knew that Qin Qing lost a team member when he went to Dingyuan City this time!

"Are you having any difficulties? I've already discussed with Gu Xiao that next time you go on a mission, let someone from the military go with you!"

Qin Qing was a little surprised. She had wanted to bring it up, but Song Yuan had actually had such a plan long ago!

"Thank you on behalf of the team members!"

This time, Qin Qing nodded sincerely to Song Yuan and thanked him.

"However, I came here this time to ask you, do you want to make a deal?"

Qin Qing raised his eyes and looked at Song Yuan!

Song Yuan showed a curious look on his face, spread his hands and asked, "What deal?"

Qin Qing forced himself not to look away, staring at the slightly raised corners of Song Yuan's lips, and said calmly: "Of course it's what you need most right now!"

Song Yuan's originally relaxed figure paused, and his eyebrows twitched!

He didn't think Qin Qing was so capable that he had just received the news that he could get it!

"Oh...what do you think I need most right now?"

Song Yuan looked at Qin Qing seriously, the smile on his face was gone, and his face looked extremely serious!

"Isn't it supplies? Didn't you just say that you need supplies from Dingyuan City?"

Qin Qing glanced at Song Yuan in confusion. Why did he think he was smart before?

I don’t even remember what I just said!

"Ah! Right... What? You have supplies? What do you want to trade?"

Song Yuan felt that he had become stupid in front of Qin Qing!

He asked with a smile on his face.

Qin Qing lowered his head and carefully calculated the rice and wheat that Asan had been continuously harvesting and planting in his space during this period of time. Then he weighed it and stretched out a finger!

"What's this?"

Song Yuan looked at Qin Qing's finger in confusion for a long time, then he shifted his gaze to look at Qin Qing's face!

"A truckload of rice, but you need to peel it yourself!"

Hearing Qin Qing's words, Song Yuan, who had originally picked up the teacup and taken a sip of water, suddenly sprayed out with a "poof"!

Fortunately, he turned his head in time and sprayed all the saliva on the ground, otherwise the water would have all sprayed on Qin Qing's face!

"What did you say?"

Song Yuan really wanted to pick his ears to confirm whether he had done something wrong, so he asked.

Qin Qing glanced at Song Yuan calmly and repeated seriously, "A cartload! Unhulled rice! You need to husk it yourselves!"

Hearing Qin Qing's affirmative words, Song Yuan's face suddenly became serious!

"Are you serious? You're not joking?"

He turned around to look at Qin Qing's fingers, which had not yet been retracted, and asked.

If this is true, then the military’s starvation can at least last for a while!

"Of course. When have you ever seen me joke?"

Qin Qing rolled his eyes and replied with certainty!
