Nearly 700 people at the base were toasting their leader.
Jiang Wu was standing with Bai Feiming and Su Ziyu in front of a floor-to-ceiling window in a private villa on the top floor of the main building.
Of course, the main purpose was to test Bai Feiming's physical strength after her second evolution.
Su Tzu-yu acted as the referee.
Half an hour, an hour, two hours...
Even after Bai Feiming was defeated, she persisted and persuaded Jiang Wu to try a different approach.
Su Ziyu stared blankly at the two of them.
So, it works there too?
If you can't stand one place, move to another?
Su Ziyu seemed to be deep in thought.
This once again proves that Jiang Wu's all-round, balanced evolution method may be far slower than Bai Feiming's and far weaker than Su Ziyu's.
However, on certain battlefields, it displayed its might.
The penthouse villa returned to calm around 2 a.m.
"Little Fish... are you alright? Why did you have to imitate your sister-in-law?" Jiang Wu asked with concern.
"If my sister-in-law can do it, so can I..."
Bai Feiming pondered that even with her second evolution, she still couldn't keep up with Brother Wu's progress.
Neither of them could fully satisfy Wu Ge's inner desires.
It seems we need to put Wenyao's matter on the agenda as soon as possible.
......
The bonfire party that evening boosted the morale of everyone at the base to a new level.
This also helped to eliminate much of the gap between newcomers and long-time members of the base.
The disturbance lasted until after 10 p.m.
A new day has begun.
Main building conference room.
In front of a large conference table.
Jiang Wu and Bai Feiming sat at the very front.
Nearly 20 department heads sat on either side.
Wang Xi stood up by himself and slowly gave his report.
"...Currently, the entire base has 120 tons of various meat products and 15 tons of mutated beast meat. Based on the current standards and the number of survivors, the meat products can feed 700 people for more than two years, and the mutated beast meat can feed 100 field team members for 300 days."
"The production of various mushrooms, bean sprouts and other vegetables is increasing day by day, and now it can guarantee more than one kilogram a day for 700 people."
"The base has 90 tons of rice and 24 tons of flour as staple foods. By current standards, this is only enough to feed 700 people for a little over a year. However, there is one thing to consider: under the current conditions, it is difficult to cultivate rice and wheat on a large scale, since they are different from vegetables."
After reporting this, Wang Xi reminded, "Chief, the base currently only has 700 people. If we expand several times that number, we will soon run out of food."
Jiang Wu nodded and looked at Sheng Huaiqiang, saying, "Old Sheng, your intelligence team should make more contact with the survivors and ask if anyone knows where there is a granary. Food is the most important thing for people. We can lack other things, but we must not lack food."
Sheng Huaiqiang flipped through the documents in his hand, looked up at Jiang Wu and said, "Chief, there is a grain purchasing and sales company more than 40 kilometers away. There must be a lot of grain there."
"In addition, there is a food processing plant 70 kilometers away from the base. It mainly produces agricultural products such as cured meat and pickled vegetables. I heard from others that the output there is quite large, especially the pickled vegetables."
Jiang Wu pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "I will lead people to search all these places in the next few days, but you still need to continue to investigate. Right now, the most crucial resources are three things: people, food, and weapons."
After a pause, Jiang Wu said with a serious expression, "If we can find a military base, our base's strength will increase significantly. Even if we face a massive base with 10,000 personnel and government officials, we won't be afraid of them."
This was Li Zecheng's first time attending such a meeting, and he raised his hand somewhat reservedly.
Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Little Li, feel free to speak your mind here, there's no need to be so formal."
Li Zecheng said earnestly, "Chief, I studied the information carefully yesterday. The large base mentioned on the radio is not in a very friendly environment. It is surrounded by three medium-sized cities, each with a population of at least several hundred thousand. There are also two county towns nearby with a population of less than 100,000."
"If they recapture the city, they will definitely move into it and use it as a base to develop their power. But the location mentioned on the radio is a fishing village with a population of a few thousand on the shore of Donghu Lake. The only advantage of that fishing village is that it is surrounded by water on three sides. But in such a place, it is very difficult for them to develop. Their conditions are far worse than ours."
"I suspect they have a considerable amount of food, which is why they have reserves to encourage more people to join. However, their strength is unlikely to be too great, because there are two county towns nearby with populations of around 80,000 each. Compared to the small fishing village, those county towns are much better off. One of them even still retains its old city walls."
"Our 100-person field team, under the leadership of our chief, can withstand thousands of zombies without needing to use traps or other methods."
"The other side claims to have government and military connections, with over 2,000 combatants and a total population of over 10,000, yet they are unable to deal with a county town with tens of thousands of zombies."
"So, I would like to ask the chief what his opinion is on that settlement."
After Li Zecheng finished speaking slowly, those who understood the implied meaning all had their eyes light up.
For Huaxi Valley Base, a place that isn't particularly strong but has a population of tens of thousands is a huge piece of meat.
If the base were to acquire one-fifth of the population, it would be enough to instantly multiply its strength many times over.
Jiang Wu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Little Li, our base needs someone like you. Go find Wang Xi later and get 20 jin of mutated beast meat!"
Li Zecheng adjusted his glasses and said earnestly, "Thank you, Chief."
Jiang Wu nodded, then slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "What Xiao Li said earlier makes sense. Our team of 100 people dares to fight against thousands of zombies, while their tens of thousands only dare to cower in a small fishing village. Just for that reason, we have to go there!"
"It's the apocalypse. If they have the ability, they can take in so many survivors. If they don't, they'll have to give up some of their population! Our Flower Valley base needs more people to develop!"
"Wang Xi, from now on, the daily ration of mutated beast meat for the field team will be doubled. In addition, each member of the management team will receive an extra pound of mutated beast meat per day. Old Sheng has already evolved, and I hope that more of you can become evolved!"
"Wang Xi, Fatty Sun, you two need to supervise the team making the bio-armor and get the crocodile and python skins into battle suits as soon as possible!"
"Old Sheng! Focus your efforts on arms deals lately. If you can find the location of a military camp, your intelligence team will receive an unlimited supply of mutated beast meat for a whole month! Until you're sick of it!"
"Chen Shu, your equipment team, focus on researching bombs and firearms lately. If we really can't find any military camps, I'll need you to make some more powerful bombs!"
"Once we're ready, I'm going to lead my team to raid that settlement!"
"So many people! I'm so hungry!"
