Luo Zhongli listened quietly, his expression somewhat forlorn.
Suddenly, he asked, "Minister Li, I also want to ask you a question. As you said, our team only has so many people, yet we have killed countless zombies, recaptured many villages, and even killed those unbelievable giants."
With a sigh, Luo Zhongli continued, "Logically speaking, how could the real soldiers at the Donghu base, with guns, cannons, and so many people helping them, be in such a... predicament?"
Li Zecheng said calmly, "It's very simple. It's precisely because they have a large number of people and are wary of each other that they can't accomplish anything."
Turning to look at Luo Zhongli, Li Zecheng said meaningfully, "Deputy Battalion Commander Luo, I don't believe you don't understand this principle, you just don't want to think about it. So, sometimes killing is not a bad thing."
Wu Ming said in a chilling tone, "Minister Li is right. The order has been broken and rebuilt. For the sake of power, the leaders of those forces at Donghu Base will definitely not be willing to cooperate."
"In this situation, the simplest solution is to kill all the leaders of those forces who are not cooperating, regardless of who they were before!"
Luo Zhongli was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I understand. I will strictly follow the plan."
Sheng Huaiqiang said seriously, "Old Luo, you should actually broaden your perspective. In this apocalypse, there are countless zombies and endless monsters. Humanity is at a critical juncture of life and death. Who can lead humanity to survive? Do you think it's our leader, or those in charge of the Donghu base?"
Wu Ming praised, "Minister Sheng, what you said makes a lot of sense!"
Luo Zhongli didn't speak, but his previously somewhat bewildered eyes had become much sharper.
After a dozen seconds, he said with a determined look, "Thank you everyone, I understand what to do!"
Seeing Luo Zhongli's expression, the others exchanged smiles.
......
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Inside a meeting room at the Donghu base.
A large oval table was placed in the very center.
A dozen or so people sat around the table, men and women, in various postures.
Some were sitting upright, some were crossing their legs, some were lounging like Ge You, and some even had their feet up on the conference table.
Some people's faces practically scream "unruly," highlighting their arrogance and disdain for everyone.
Behind each of these people stood several other people, all with serious expressions.
At this moment, a plump and amiable middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit walked into the conference room with a smile, accompanied by a man and a woman.
He then sat in the very center.
As he entered, a hint of seriousness flashed in the eyes of some people in the conference room.
Someone smiled and complimented, "Chief Wei, you look even better. Could it be that your fifth concubine, whom you took in yesterday, has been serving you well?"
Wei Minglun laughed loudly, "Not bad! Next time you find any top-quality items, send them to me, and you'll be well rewarded with supplies!"
"Haha! Good! I heard that Chief Wei gave 100 catties of cured meat to that small force, just because Chief Wei is very satisfied with his fifth concubine."
"100 jin of cured meat! Which small power sent this woman?"
Wei Minglun narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "I promised that small power to keep it a secret. Who doesn't know that I, Wei Minglun, am a man of my word? Do you want to know who that power is so you can go and steal those 100 jin of cured meat?"
The man who had just spoken was startled, realizing he had offended Wei Minglun, this smiling tiger.
He quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Chief Wei, I was just asking casually. I will send 100 catties of rice and 10 catties of cured meat as an apology later."
Wei Minglun said with a smile, "You're too kind. I'll reluctantly accept it."
A burly, square-faced man in military uniform, seated at the head of the table, put down the documents in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Is everyone here?"
As the head of the military, the most powerful force in the base, his word should carry immense weight.
However, no one in the conference room responded at that moment.
They didn't seem to take the burly man seriously.
One of the burly man's subordinates leaned forward and whispered a reminder: "Company Commander Zhang, Xiang Jian hasn't arrived yet."
Zhang Hua said coldly, "The meeting was supposed to start at one o'clock, and it's already two o'clock!"
Wei Minglun took out his thermos, took a sip of goji berry tea, and said with a smile, "Company Commander Zhang, calm down. It's the apocalypse now. We can't expect people to clock in on time like they did before the apocalypse, can we? Especially someone as capable as Xiang Tianwang."
A handsome young man with a refined appearance sitting opposite Wei Minglun smiled and said, "It seems that Xiang Jian is even more arrogant than Chief Wei. We've been here for so long, but he doesn't seem to care at all."
Wei Minglun narrowed his eyes, stared at the young man, and said with a smile, "Chief Song Yi, don't try to sow discord between me and King Xiang."
Faced with Song Yi's provocation, Wei Minglun could only keep it in mind.
After all, Song Yi is the leader of the third largest power in the base, and he is also a powerful new human.
The military is now trying to win him over, and Wei Minglun doesn't want to escalate the conflict now.
Song Yi smiled nonchalantly, not taking Wei Minglun to heart, and instead looked at the man and woman behind Wei Minglun.
The man is Wei Chenglong, Wei Minglun's biological son, an agile new human.
The woman is Wei Feng, a member of a collateral branch of the Wei family. She is now Wei Minglun's goddaughter and also a fast-paced, modern woman.
In the Donghu base, apart from Xiang Jian, that oddball, these agile new humans are the most terrifying.
With weapons, they could easily defeat dozens of fully armed ordinary soldiers.
With these two incredibly skilled and fast henchmen, and through a series of conspiracies and schemes, Wei Minglun, an ordinary person, firmly secured his position as the second most powerful figure in the Donghu Base.
