Nan Xiangwan looked at the head of Guoan on the stage with a hint of irony.
In the previous life, it was this ambitious guy who almost wiped out humanity. If he hadn't looked so respectable, these people wouldn't have been so easily deceived.
Jiang Tao is 58 years old. Although he has no superpowers after the apocalypse, his ambition is not small at all. The National Security Base was originally supported by three major families. The main reason why he can represent the other two families is his intelligence and the help of his grandson.
At this moment, Jiang Tao picked up the microphone, coughed twice, and then began to speak.
"Welcome to this banquet, everyone. I am Jiang Tao."
The reason I've gathered everyone here is to say a few things.
First, resources are becoming increasingly scarce after the apocalypse, especially food. I hope that the base leaders and combat squad leaders of all bases can go to other cities to collect more resources. Those with wood-type abilities who are capable of planting should try to grow more vegetables themselves.
Humanity is now facing natural and man-made disasters. We must unite to fight the zombies until we wipe them all out.
Secondly, since the apocalypse, no newborns have been born. No new life means humanity will one day become extinct. Of course, thanks to the modifications made by supernatural abilities, human lifespan has been extended. I hope each of you will cherish the people around you. After all, every death is one less. The feeling of loneliness after everyone around you has perished is not pleasant, don't you think?
The audience chuckled upon hearing this, but things remained the same; these people couldn't be fundamentally changed by just a few words.
"Cough, thirdly, I hope that the other four security bases in the entire capital city, apart from the National Security Bureau, can receive more survivors. Only by preserving enough strength and manpower can we make it to the end."
Fourth, you should have noticed the recent changes in the zombies. They are constantly evolving and growing stronger, and the superhumans around us can only fight against them by absorbing the zombies' cores. Firearms are becoming increasingly useless. Therefore, I hope that all superhumans in Beijing can grow stronger as soon as possible.
Fifth, and finally, the most important point.
I hope all those with supernatural abilities will begin large-scale zombie cleanup tomorrow, striving to eliminate all zombies in the entire city of Beijing, and then establish a strong and secure protective wall around the city.
No sooner had Jiang Tao finished speaking than someone raised their hand and asked, "I want to know how the territory will be divided. It wouldn't be right for us to contribute our manpower and resources for nothing, would it?"
"That's right, there has to be a division, otherwise who gets to claim the territory we conquer?"
"Exactly! There should be some benefits to taking the risk of clearing out zombies, right?"
Hearing the questions from below, Jiang Tao didn't show it on his face, but he was cursing these people in his heart. He then continued, "Your questions are easy to solve. The area within the 3rd Ring Road is within the scope of our National Security Bureau's cleanup. After that, the four directions will be divided equally among the four of you. The individual teams will clean up the zombies in the direction they are in. However, it would be best if you chose to join a base, which would make management easier. Of course, we don't force you. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Then the people below started discussing it again, but in the end no one came to a conclusion.
Zhan Siyu's side adopted an indifferent attitude, as long as everyone else followed suit. Of course, if there were materials, they would build a wall; if not, they would leave it unused. They couldn't just leave the materials unprovided and have to find them themselves. In the end, the surrounding area was built to be impregnable, and the cheapest option was the National Security Base. The central location could take care of everything. It's like trying to make a horse run without feeding it properly—it's like wishful thinking.
However, no matter how much they thought about it, they didn't step forward to speak, because the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
Seeing that everyone below had no problems, Jiang Tao had the hostess lead the group to the banquet hall for dinner.
Zhan Siyu and his group found a quiet spot to sit down. While sipping their champagne, they whispered among themselves, "Zhan, do you think the National Security Bureau thinks we're all idiots?"
After listening to Xiao Jing's words, Zhan Siyu did not reply, but Long Yehua said: "I think Guoan is not simple. However, he has said his words, but you have to see if anyone will carry them out. It's easy to say, but how easy is it to build a wall? How much manpower and time was put into the Great Wall? He said he would not provide any materials. He is thinking too highly of himself."
At this point, Nan Xiangwan also said, "This person still thinks that this is a golden age, and everyone has to listen to him. He's used to being a local tyrant. He doesn't realize that nowadays, people only care about self-preservation. Who cares who you are? Food is what matters."
"That's right. These days, official positions are just for show. Whoever has the supplies is the boss. But Zhan, is your base really fed enough to support so many people? I heard that your base's canteen charges 5 points per meal, and it's all-you-can-eat?"
“Dalong, that’s true of our base. Of course, don’t worry, we have plenty of supplies. Also, my sister-in-law is building greenhouses at the base recently, so we can be self-sufficient after that.”
Long Yehua didn't disbelieve his brother's words, but the soil was now polluted; was it really possible for plants to grow? Of course, mutated species were an exception.
"Do you have clean soil?"
"Yes, sister-in-law knows what's going on. You just need to take people to our base. You won't go hungry. The moment our greenhouses produce grain will be our moment of glory. I don't believe those people won't be envious. If they want it, they'll have to exchange it for crystal cores. With crystal cores, we won't have to worry about not having resources."
"Xiao Jing is right, but the crops in the greenhouse still need to wait. Another natural disaster is coming soon. When we get back this time, we not only need to take precautions, but also be careful of a zombie outbreak."
Everyone else trembled upon hearing Zhan Siyu's words, especially Long Yehua. He had survived because he had believed Zhan Siyu's words and stockpiled food early on. Now that his brother was talking about a natural disaster, he didn't think he was joking at all.
"Ah Zhan, is this serious?"
"It's not too serious here, but it's hard to say about other places."
"Oh God, it seems like He doesn't want us to live a good life anymore. Natural disasters keep coming one after another. When will it ever end?"
At this moment, Zhou Muyang from Xiangyang Base arrived with his men.
Then he said politely, "Hello, I am Zhou Muyang from Xiangyang Base. It's a pleasure to meet you. My female companion told me that your wife is her best friend, so we can be considered friends as well."
The Zhan Nan people were speechless at the sight of such an overly familiar person, but as the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. Bei Minghao spoke first, saying, "People from Xiangyang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am a diplomat from Zhan Nan, and I have the final say on all matters related to the base."
