Xiwang Base.

This is a medium-sized base far away from Dawn City. There are at least 400 residents in it, if not 500. The base is named after the base commander.

The base commander, Lin Xiwang, was a middle-aged man with a very cheerful appearance, but at this moment his face also showed some sadness, and he walked back and forth anxiously with his hands on his hips.

"Is the news true? Is there really someone delivering something outside?"

After walking for more than ten minutes, Lin Xiwang finally stopped, still with his hands on his hips, looking at his secretary.

"It's true. It's almost the transaction time agreed upon by him and me. It must be here soon." The secretary looked at the watch in his hand, then walked to the window to look at the sky.

"Then we'll wait at the city gate."

Many bases have tacitly set an observation time for entering the base. Lin Xiwang was anxious. Once they entered the base, they would have to wait for a long time. It would be better for them to go directly to the city gate to take a look.

Waiting is the most annoying thing, especially at this time when there are no mobile phones and no other entertainment. Lin Xiwang and his secretary stood in a dark place and stared at the door.

When they saw a car approaching, Lin Xiwang and his secretary couldn't help but stick their heads out and ran forward.

Wait for Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang to get off the car.

Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang were the secretary's former college classmates. They were in occasional contact before the end of the world, but they lost contact at the end of the world. It was only a few days ago when the secretary saw Luo Ziqiang handing over the materials to a mercenary group that they got in touch again.

The secretary himself doesn't have many crystal cores, only two or three.

Even if it was an old classmate, he didn't dare, nor did he have the right to directly order all the crystal cores in the base to be exchanged for materials.

So this time he exchanged for a large bag of whole wheat bread and a box of water. Although whole wheat bread is not tasty, it is durable!

Check and pay the money when the goods arrive and sign the delivery note.

Lin Xiwang glanced at the packaging and quickly invited the person into the base. As for whether to observe him or not, the base director and secretary led the way. After checking that there were no wounds on the body, he let the person in.

"Brother Qiang, I wonder if you have any other materials. If you want to buy something else, how do you go about the transaction?"

As soon as he arrived at the office, Lin Xiwang asked anxiously.

These days everyone is busy trying to survive and find food, and no one has the time to listen to other people's roundabout ways.

Luo Ziqiang was very satisfied with Lin Xiwang's directness.

"This is our current transaction list, you can take a look." After working for several days, Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang were already very familiar with this process. One of them took out the takeaway list that they had printed out in multiple copies from their bag.

The list records the things that are available in greater quantities in Dawn City.

Most of them are vegetables, rice, wheat, flour, etc., but there is no meat at all. There are also a small amount of daily necessities written on them, such as quilts, paper towels, etc.

Lin Xiwang's hand holding the list trembled a few times.

"Is everything above here?"

"Yes, as long as you can pay, we will deliver the goods within three days without charging you a deposit."

In the end times, no one knows how long they can live, so not collecting a deposit makes everyone feel at ease. Besides, if they deliver the item and no one signs for it, they can still sell it somewhere else without any problems, and they can take it back for their own use without any delay.

They still have refrigerators in Shuguang City.

Thinking of this, Luo Ziqiang was even more glad that he joined Dawn City in time. According to the city lord, once the population reaches 500, they will stop accepting residents. The city lord did not say when the suspension will end, but he guessed that there were not enough buildings in the city to live in.

It was indeed as Luo Ziqiang thought. Currently, the buildings in Shuguang City could only accommodate 500 people at most.

If there are too many, order will be disrupted. It is a good time to re-plan and adjust the management of Dawn City.

The rapid increase in personnel has led to a lack of unity among the people, an incomplete set of jobs, and people being idle. Even with the pressure of the "prestige of the city lord", it is easy for rebellion to occur.

Lin Xiwang asked Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang to sit in the office first, and took his secretary outside, and the two of them started to discuss.

After the final calculation, we ordered ten 50kg bags of rice and a small bag of vegetables, and agreed to deliver them two days later.

Materials sold outside Dawn City are naturally several times more expensive than those sold inside Dawn City.

With this amount of material, it might take only seven or eight crystal cores to complete it in Dawn City, but about twenty crystal cores would be needed outside.

These twenty crystal cores are already the bottom of the Xiwang base. They want to buy more and stockpile what they can't finish, but they are financially limited and not all of them can kill zombies with crystal cores.

"Brother Qiang, are you still hiring at your base? What if everyone here wants to go to your base? Would you welcome them?"

After placing the order, Lin Xiwang was too lazy to hide it and asked directly.

He didn't want to work in someone else's base and wanted to be the base commander himself, but what if everyone under his command wanted to run away?

It would be meaningless to be alone at that time.

When asked about the base's situation, Luo Ziqiang was very proud: "Not everyone can go even if they want to. Our residential building is almost full, and we will temporarily not accept residents after it is full."

"Besides, you have to pay rent to live in a residential building. How many people can kill zombies above level 2 at will these days?"

Lin Xiwang and the secretary looked at each other.

They never charged any rent for the housing in their base, but they had to pay a small amount of resources they obtained every time they entered or left the base.
