Chapter 562: Leader Fatty The fat
man glanced at An Ran, pointed at the big trees in the planting room, and said to Luo Feifan, then walked towards An Ran and Liu Zhi, asking An Ran with his eyes,
"Who is this?"
"She came from outside. She said she wanted to buy some wood."
Since Fatty was here, An Ran naturally didn't feel like entertaining these strangers who suddenly appeared, so she quickly stood up and gave her chair to Fatty, then lowered her head and said to Liu Zhi:
"This is our leader, Fatty!"
Well, the leader of the Beggars' Sect has been upgraded and is now the chief!
The fat man tilted his head, glanced at An Ran, and said nothing. He sat on the chair with the demeanor of a leader and started chatting with the man named Liu Zhi.
An Ran walked to Luo Feifan's side, watched him picking trees, and asked in a low voice: "What are you picking these woods for? Are you cold? Do you need a fire to warm yourself?"
Luo Feifan waved to An Ran, asking her to come closer, and whispered:
"I heard that Zhou Zheng and his fellow gatekeepers have recently received a little bit of a welfare increase. They were given 3,000 ordinary crystal cores per month, and now they have increased to 400 ordinary crystal cores per month. They say it's for cold weather protection, but apart from the crystal cores, those who need to be frozen still have to stay frozen."
In fact, the people who introduced this benefit in this base were a little careless. In this cold weather, where can you buy supplies with crystal cores? It is said that the base is divided into teams, and the teams manage themselves, but there are still many systems in the base that do not belong to any team.
For example, the military and political systems, as well as ordinary families like Liu Zhi who do not belong to any team. Zhou Zheng and others who are responsible for guarding the city walls are the bottom of the military and political system. The wood and water-type mutants raised in the base, their products are first supplied to the superstructure of the base, and only when there are any left will these bottom-level people be allocated the food.
So the problem became serious. Welfare increased, but supplies were scarce, especially the recent shortage of electricity and gas. Wu Simiao's Grand Rich Hotel had 24-hour electricity and heating, but other places had fallen to the point where they could only have electricity during the day, and once the heating was cut off, it could never be reconnected.
Although Zhou Zheng and other soldiers guarding the city wall were strong, many of them were frozen to death. The medical system of this base was so poor that those who were frozen were directly taken to Hexi. Zhou Zheng and his men complained about their lives and were miserable. All they needed was an opportunity to rise up in rebellion.
So Luo Feifan decided to seize this opportunity and send some firewood to Zhou Zheng and the others.
Although the people guarding the city walls are all small characters, sometimes it is these small characters who can be of great help.
Of course, let’s not talk about these interests for now. At least for Luo Feifan and Zhan Lian, most of those guarding the city gates are soldiers. In the end times, soldiers are the most hardworking and considerate of this point. They can’t let them freeze to death.
This was a big deal, so An Ran certainly couldn't be vague. She nodded and said to Luo Feifan, "Okay, go ahead and cut wherever you like."
"If you ask me, what kind of wood is this? It's too ugly to be presented. They still have to worry about the smoke emission."
Unconsciously, the fat man sent Liu Zhi away, stood beside the big tree trunk behind An Ran, and said to Luo Feifan:
"Why don't we just send the charcoal? It's economical, environmentally friendly, and can be presented as a gift, and it looks classy."
