Lu Qi appeared next to Sheng Huaiqiang and mustered his courage to say, "Minister Sheng! I want to join the field operations company!"
Sheng Huaiqiang looked up at Lü Qi and said calmly, "Didn't you say you didn't want to join?"
Lu Qi smiled awkwardly and said seriously, "I really want to join the field operations company and contribute to the base. With my abilities, staying at the base to do logistics would not allow me to fully utilize my evolved human abilities."
Sheng Huaiqiang's lips twitched, and he looked at Wu Ming and said, "Company Commander Wu, you are the company commander of the field operations company, what do you think?"
Wu Ming glanced at Lü Qi and asked, "Are you sure? If you change your mind, we can consider it that you're playing us for fools."
Lu Qi nodded quickly and said, "I'm sure! I'll definitely do my best!"
"Alright, I agree." Wu Ming nodded.
After Lü Qi left, Sheng Huaiqiang smiled and said, "This Lü Qi is quite skilled. During the test, his speed was the fastest among the newly promoted evolved humans in our base. If it weren't for the leader's plan to form an evolved human platoon, I would have liked to keep him in the intelligence department."
Wu Ming laughed and said, "After all, he is a veteran evolver. Zhong Fu is also very strong. His strength is comparable to Luo Mingming's, and he is faster than Luo Mingming."
Sheng Huaiqiang nodded and said, "Therefore, we need to practice more."
"Haha, that's right!"
Luo Zhongli and the others standing nearby were not evolved humans, so they could only exchange wry smiles.
Then he picked up the stewed giant alligator snapping turtle meat and shoved it into his mouth.
I just hope I can become an evolved being...
......
Time flies.
On November 20th, several new evolved individuals joined the Huaxi Valley Base, bringing the total number of Level 1 evolved individuals in the base to 22.
Excluding ministerial-level officials Sheng Huaiqiang and Wu Ming, and Ning Chuxia, who has reached the level of a second-level evolver, there are 20 ordinary first-level evolvers.
At the Huaxi Valley base, a special operations platoon composed of evolved individuals was officially established.
Wu Ming was in direct command, with Ning Chuxia serving as supervisor.
Every member of the special operations platoon receives the same treatment as the team leaders of other platoons.
On November 21st, even though Jiang Wu increased the supply of giant tortoise meat and blood by one day, no new evolved beings appeared at the base.
Moreover, the effects of giant tortoise meat and blood on the base survivors who had been eating them for three consecutive days were significantly reduced.
From today onwards, the meat and blood of the mutated giant tortoise will become a special food supply for the field operations company and the leadership of various departments.
On November 27th, the perimeter wall at the entrance of Huaxi Valley Base was completely closed, and the total number of people at the base reached 2,500.
There were no celebrations, no holidays, and all base members continued with the next steps of the plan.
Inside a conference room in the main building.
There were more than twenty people sitting there.
At the head of the table, Jiang Wu and Bai Feiming were looking through a pile of documents.
After reading only a dozen pages, Jiang Wu tossed a thick stack of documents onto the conference table and said casually, "Wang Xi, you are the Minister of Statistics and Fei Ming's secretary. You can start the introduction. You don't need to go into too much detail."
After deciding to implement the work point system, Jiang Wu requested the establishment of a statistics department and appointed Wang Xi as the head of the statistics department.
Wang Xi cleared his throat and reported earnestly: "Regarding staple foods, the base currently has a total of 654 tons of rice, 64 tons of flour and noodles, and 84 tons of corn and soybeans. At the current standard, we consume 1.2 tons of staple foods every day. We have enough staple foods to last for two years."
"The meat products, including various meat products and cured meats, total 343 tons, with 123 tons of mutated animal meat, including 39 tons of the most valuable giant alligator snapping turtle meat. There are also 3 tons of other eggs."
"Vegetables, including various sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins, amount to more than 40 tons. However, the Ministry of Agriculture has already used zombie fertilizer to build a six-acre greenhouse. Moreover, those agricultural products have mutated, growing very fast and yielding high output."
"Vegetables like bok choy can be harvested in a week, and currently we can harvest about two tons of fresh vegetables a day."
"Snacks, including over 5,000 jin (2,500 kg) of various candies..."
Jiang Wu nodded and interrupted, "That's enough for the introduction. I have a request: the staple food is still too scarce. Currently, our base only has 2,500 people, and the staple food is enough to last for two years. But what if the base reaches 10,000 people? The staple food will only last for half a year! After all, I'm preparing to go to the Donghu base. This time, I will find a way to make the Donghu base give up more than 5,000 people!"
Sheng Huaiqiang thought for a moment and said, "Chief, we have already cleared out all the surrounding villages and towns with small populations, and we have only harvested this much staple food. If we want more staple food, we can only attack the granaries or recapture towns with larger populations."
Jiang Wu pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Let's continue gathering intelligence first. We can discuss attacking the town after we return from the Donghu base."
Sheng Huaiqiang nodded in agreement.
Jiang Wu glanced at Chen Shu and asked, "Bookworm, how many crossbows do we have now? And where are the bolts?"
Chen Shu said earnestly, "Chief, we have produced 230 steel crossbows and 5,300 crossbow bolts so far. The factory we have built is still too small and there are too few skilled workers. Even if we work overtime, we can only produce this much."
Jiang Wu nodded and said, "At present, the main task of the base is still the protection facilities. Once the guard towers and other protection facilities are completed, the expansion of the equipment department will be given priority."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wu looked at Wu Ming and said, "Wu Ming, using crossbows is silent, which is suitable for slowly whittling down the zombies in the town. Equip all three combat platoons with crossbows. Anyway, the crossbow bolts can be recycled, so practice more often."
Wu Ming nodded and suggested, "Chief, each combat platoon currently only has 60 people. Should we recruit more? After all, our base currently has 2,500 people, of which 1,360 are adult men, but only a little over 300 have joined our field operations company."
