Seeing this, the person in charge of the temporary prison quickly leaned close to Sheng Huaiqiang's ear and whispered, "Judging from the current situation, the information inside should be genuine. And judging from their demeanor, they don't seem to be lying."
Sheng Huaiqiang continued reading the confession without showing any emotion, and said calmly, "Bring those two Apocalypse Knights here."
Soon, the two Apocalypse Knights were escorted over by four burly men.
Upon seeing the imposing Sheng Huaiqiang, the two Apocalypse Knights pleaded again, "Sir, we've really told you everything we know!"
Sheng Huaiqiang slowly raised his head, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the two wretched Apocalypse Knights. He asked with a serious expression, "I just heard you say that we tortured you? I'll ask you again, did we torture you?"
The two knights were taken aback at first, then quickly shook their heads and said, "No, no, the people here are very kind to us, there is no torture at all."
Their answers were clearly obsequious and flattering, yet their eyes still betrayed their fear of the unknown future.
Sheng Huaiqiang nodded slightly and said calmly, "I will submit your statements to our leader's wife soon. It's time to verify them. If there are any mistakes, don't blame me for not giving you a chance when you are suffering a fate worse than death."
Both Apocalypse Knights spoke up, saying, "The confession contains absolutely nothing to hide!"
"I've told you everything I know!"
Sheng Huaiqiang stood up, holding the thick stack of confessions, and said to the prison supervisor, "Give them a few more plates of wild vegetables every day, and also reduce the amount of wild vegetables they catch. Don't make it seem like we enjoy abusing people. We should treat those who cooperate well."
The prison warden nodded quickly and said, "Minister Sheng, I understand!"
The two Apocalypse Knights felt as if they had been granted a pardon and kept thanking Sheng Huaiqiang, as if they had just received a great favor.
At this moment, Sheng Huaiqiang asked again, "I heard that there's a tough guy among those men in black robes?"
The prison warden said cautiously, "Minister Sheng, that person refuses to cooperate. No matter how much we beat him, he won't give in."
Sheng Huai slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "What are you all good for! What's the point of keeping people like this who are so uncooperative! Are you just wasting our wild vegetables! Even if there are plenty of wild vegetables now, we can't waste them! We might as well keep them to feed the pigs!"
The prison warden was startled and quickly stood up straight, saluted, and said, "I understand! Minister Sheng!"
A cold glint flashed in Sheng Huaiqiang's eyes as he said coldly, "In front of these prisoners, have that stubborn guy slowly sliced to death! Finally, crush his bones! Let them see just how hard his bones really are!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Sheng Huaiqiang's words.
The two Apocalypse Knights trembled in fear.
"Yes!" The prison warden quickly accepted the order.
Just then, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly erupted from one of the cells: "I confess! I cooperate!"
A hint of mockery flashed in Sheng Huaiqiang's eyes as he coldly said, "Too late!"
The white Apocalypse Knight suddenly said, "Sir, that person has the ability to control pain; he can reduce the pain his body feels."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Huaiqiang nodded to the white knight of revelation and said to his subordinates, "Reward him with a plate of pickled vegetables."
After saying this, Sheng Huaiqiang took his confession and left the prison.
Inside the prison, chilling screams could be heard.
Fuxing City, a 20-story office building next to Jiangwu Manor.
This office building was originally the office building of Huaguo Bank, but because it is close to Jiang Wu's manor, it has now been completely transformed into the Fuxing City Government Building.
It has also become the core hub for the operation of the entire city.
In the large conference room on the top floor, the heads of various departments arrived early.
Regardless of their usual behavior in their own departments, at this moment, sitting in this conference room, they all stood up straight, with proper posture and humble smiles on their faces.
Time passed by, second by second.
Suddenly, the conference room door was gently pushed open, and Bai Feiming walked in.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on her.
As if receiving some unified instruction, the managers quickly stood up, their movements perfectly synchronized, and bowed slightly in respect.
Bai Feiming wore a simple yet elegant suit. The well-tailored clothes accentuated her graceful figure, and her long, glossy black hair was neatly tied back, further highlighting her capable and efficient temperament.
Her face was cold and her eyes were sharp. She simply glanced around the conference room, and everyone felt an invisible pressure.
"Please sit down." Bai Feiming's voice was cool and clear, yet it could be heard clearly in the quiet conference room.
The managers sat down slowly as instructed, their backs still ramrod straight, their hands neatly placed on the table.
Bai Feiming walked unhurriedly to the head of the conference table. She glanced at Wang Xi, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, and said with a smile, "Wang Xi, it must have been hard for you to come all the way from the old base to attend this meeting."
Wang Xi smiled and said respectfully, "Madam, thank you for your concern. The road between the old base and Fuxing City has now been completely opened up and is maintained by soldiers. It only takes a little over three hours to drive here, which is quite fast."
Bai Feiming smiled slightly and said, "After this meeting, stay in Fuxing City for a while longer. Yan Yan has mentioned you several times."
Wang Xi was somewhat moved and nodded quickly.
She wasn't stupid; she knew that Madam Bai had deliberately chatted with her about everyday matters before the meeting to build momentum for her.
She was also explaining to other executives that even though Wang Xi was working at the old base, she was still the leader's most trusted confidante.
Although Wang Xi didn't care about these things, she was really touched.
Bai Feiming smiled slightly at Wang Xi, then regained her composure and looked at the other executives, saying, "Let's begin the report. First, let's talk about the current population situation in Fuxing City."
Human Resources Director Zhao Tian had been silently reciting the data in her mind. Upon hearing Bai Feiming's words, she quickly stood up and said, "Reporting to Madam Bai..."
Bai Feiming said calmly, "Zhao Tian, you're a veteran at the base, don't be so nervous, sit down and let's talk."
Before the apocalypse, Zhao Tian was just a junior intern. She was promoted step by step simply because she was the first to know Jiang Wu.
By now, it has become a lengthy work.
Even if this department is insignificant now, it is still a department!
Therefore, Zhao Tian was always somewhat apprehensive.
Upon hearing Bai Feiming's words, Zhao Tian quickly sat down, swallowed hard, and said earnestly, "Reporting to Madam Bai, Fuxing City currently has a population of over 20,000. In the past few days, more than 20,000 survivors have been transferred from the Luoling Mountains, and there is a continuous stream of survivors being transported from there every day..."
"Donghu City currently has more than 1,400 people, but this data is from two days ago."
After glancing cautiously at Wang Xi, Zhao Tian continued, "The old base currently has a total of [number] people. With the three bases combined, our total population has exceeded 200,000."
