After receiving the order, Qin Zhong led the others to conduct research and planning on the first floor. Cheng Xiao took Pan Han to the second floor.

"Master Pan, this room was previously yours. It will be used as your lounge and meeting room. No one else will be allowed in without your permission."

"Okay, when our base expands in the future, find me a bigger one." Pan Han agreed.

"Please take a seat, Master Pan. I will report to you immediately."

"Actually, we don't have to be so polite. You can sit down and have a Coke." Pan Han didn't put on airs. He knew these seven people might be the team's main players for a long time to come. He wanted to win them over.

"Yes, sir!"

Pan Han opened two bottles of Coke and handed one to Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao lowered her head, took it with both hands, took a sip, and then slowly introduced it.

"Master Pan, I don't know where you are from, nor do I know which organization you belong to. So, let me first introduce the situation in this city. After all, development must start from here."

"no problem."

"Our City Z is a coastal city located in the southeast of Longguo. Before the end of the world, the urban area covered 17,000 square kilometers and had a population of about 20 million. Now there are probably less than 50,000 people left. Currently, City Z is controlled by three major gangs. The largest is called Z Tower, with more than 1,000 people. The second largest is the Beidou Gang, with about 400 people. The third largest is the Tiequn Gang, with between 100 and 200 people. These three organizations each control an area." Cheng Xiao first introduced the three major gangs in City Z.

"Oh, Tiequn Gang, why is it called that? It feels like it was founded by a group of people wearing skirts."

"This was founded by a group of men who like men. They are all strong and athletic, but they love to wear skirts to show their sexuality. That's why they are called the Iron Gang."

"Okay, it's true." Pan Han was a little surprised when he heard it.

"The Tiequn Gang is very strict in recruiting, so they are small in number. But their fighting power is very strong."

"So, this skirt should be the skirt of a skirt?"

"No, their flag only has the words 'Iron Group' written on it. It seems to represent some concept of group but not harmony. It's quite confusing."

"What do they have to do with you?"

"Well, I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but they've taken a liking to our boss, Qin Zhong, and have been trying to recruit him."

"Hahaha. That's possible." Pan Han couldn't help but let out a pig-killing laugh when he heard this reason.

"Our boss doesn't just like men. He is a real man with affection, chivalry and tenderness." Cheng Xiao explained quickly.

"Yes, I don't like men either."

Cheng Xiao took a sip of Coke and continued, "The three major gangs in City Z are fighting each other, but they don't openly fight each other. The current city population and resources can basically meet their survival needs. So it's relatively peaceful now."

"I actually want to know how you all survive. Does anyone in this city farm?"

After hearing this, Cheng Xiao hesitated for a long time, rubbing his hands together. Finally, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Master Pan, I've wanted to ask you for a long time: where are you from? Why do you seem to know nothing about the apocalypse?"

"What's the meaning?"

"When the apocalypse arrives, the world will be covered in acid rain for a whole year. The soil will have already rotted and died. How could anyone still be able to farm? This information is known to everyone in the world, so why don't you know anything about it?"

Pan Han pondered for half a minute...

He needs a reason that is once and for all, otherwise he will be exposed.

"Have you seen The Walking Dead? Have you seen 28 Days Later?" Pan Han chuckled and blurted out.

"What is this? I've never heard of it or seen it before." Cheng Xiao looked confused.

Pan Han thought, that’s easy.

"Before the end of the world, I got a terminal illness. My family arranged for me to hibernate and wait until I could be treated in the future, then they would thaw me out for treatment. Who knew that the end of the world would come and my hibernation chamber would gradually become unusable. In fact, I only woke up three months ago. So, there are many things I don't understand." Pan Han slowly told the story he had just made up.

"Ah? Lord Pan's life story is so pitiful?" Cheng Xiao asked in surprise.

No wonder he didn't know anything. He had just woken up. How would Lord Pan adapt to this apocalypse? He had a terminal illness, so he must be very weak. Cheng Xiao pondered silently.

Pan Han decided not to say anything more and nodded vigorously.

"Please continue to talk about how everyone survives." Pan Han changed the subject.

"Nowadays, everyone just eats some mutated fruits, wild beasts, cockroaches and the like. Although we can't farm, some plants have also mutated and they can survive. As for cockroaches, they are many times larger than before and have low attack power, so they are considered everyone's main food. Tower Z controls a cockroach meat patty processing factory." Cheng Xiao said.

"So, now there's good news and bad news?"

"What?" Cheng Xiao was a little confused.

"The bad news is, we can only eat cockroaches. The good news is, there are plenty of cockroaches!"

"Hahaha!" Cheng Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing. It had been a long time since she had heard such a funny joke. She suddenly realized that Lord Pan in front of her was not only sick, but also humorous, and her favorability towards him increased dramatically.

"So, cockroach meat patties, are they delicious?" Pan Han asked suically.

"When I first started eating it, I vomited many times, but now I don't feel anything anymore."

"I'm giving you a death order. Don't let me see this thing, and it's best not to appear within 5 meters of me." Pan Han said solemnly.

"As you command, Master Pan, hehehe!"

The two of them gradually relaxed as they talked.

"Have your weapons changed in any way since the apocalypse?" Pan Han suddenly thought of a very important question. He wanted to understand the technological level of weapons here.

"Self-defense weapons haven't changed much. Guns and ammunition are still the same as before. After the technology stopped, the source of heavy weapons disappeared. It seems that only personal mechas remain. There used to be a top technology company with an underground R&D base and factory. It was not affected much by the apocalypse."

"Mecha???" Pan Han was extremely excited after hearing this. He seemed to see himself transformed into Iron Man.

"Well. This mecha is not only not affected, but has also improved. It was developed to the second generation before the end of the world, and now it is the fourth generation. It can go into the sky, into the ground, and even into the sea. It has excellent maneuverability and protection, not to mention firepower, laser cannons, tracking missiles, various imagers, etc. It should be regarded as the most advanced weapon in the end of the world." Cheng Xiao introduced it like a treasure.

"So, where can I buy it?"

"Anyway, we don't have any in City Z. Even if we take all the supplies in City Z, we may not be able to exchange them for one." Cheng Xiao waved his hand and said.

"So what about using my food?"

Cheng Xiao thought for a long time and reported a number: "500 boxes of canned luncheon meat!"

"That's it?" Pan Han's face was filled with black lines.
