Li Zongmengguan was also helpless; with so many people under his care, he dared not make any promises about distributing resources based on headcount.
Furthermore, they dared not implement a system of equal distribution of goods, fearing it would cause internal conflicts among the people. They could only try to lower the credit value of goods so that everyone could afford them.
As for how much, it depends on individual ability. Those who are good at eating will eat their fill, and those who are not will eat less, as long as they don't starve to death.
There's no other way; it's the apocalypse, after all, survival of the fittest is inevitable. They've already done a remarkable job by reaching this point.
After hanging up the phone, General Li inquired at several other bases. The answers were similar, except that the other bases had higher death tolls. Unlike Haishi, where everyone was rescued.
Li Zongmeng did not ask about the specifics of what happened, but he always felt that Haishi was a magical place.
He didn't know what was going on, but the name "Shen Yanming" suddenly popped into his mind. He smiled helplessly, realizing he was being a bit obsessed.
At this moment, Qiu Man knocked on the door, and General Li, his smile fading, said, "Come in!"
Qiu Man took the documents and, without wasting any words, began his report.
"After investigation, it was found that the mastermind behind the live-streaming incident was Shu Miaomiao. According to Qin Linwei, Shu Miaomiao was particularly obsessed with space novels before the apocalypse. It is possible that this is why she took the risk. Qin Linwei and Hou Hongzhang were not involved, but they were negligent in their duties."
After investigation, the Imperial Capital and other bases did indeed discover some unscrupulous individuals eyeing the space.
They were all people of a certain status, but not very high one. They were itching to seize an opportunity to mess with Li Sikai.
I don't know where they got the nerve. Don't they know that Li Sikai is the heir to the Grand Alliance?
They were still thinking that if they destroyed Li Sikai's space, he would lose his value and be at their mercy.
Don't they realize that the alliance would let troublemakers go unpunished? Besides, Li Sikai is the nephew of Alliance Chief Li.
Perhaps these people are not in a high enough position to understand the key points, and they only rely on subjective assumptions to view the issue, which is both unreasonable and extremely one-sided.
Unfortunately, Li Sikai was surrounded by heavy security, and they couldn't get close to him at all. Moreover, after the live stream, they already knew that that space was completely untouchable. Unless they wanted to die. So, all their plans died in the womb.
Although unwilling, I had no choice but to give up.
However, people leave their mark wherever they go. No matter how clean they tried to cover it up, they couldn't escape the sharp eyes of the guards. The guards were quick to spot them, easily uncovering those with ulterior motives.
General Li scoffed as he looked at the list, thinking to himself that there were indeed quite a few restless individuals. They didn't even know their own limitations, daring to covet what didn't belong to them; they were truly courting death.
General Li slammed the list on the table, his face grim, and asked, "How was it handled?"
Qiu Man's heart skipped a beat, and she tried hard to control her nervousness. She honestly said, "Hou Hongzhang has been demoted, and Qin Yuewen will temporarily take charge of the news department. Qin Linwei has been transferred from a key position and is now just an ordinary employee. As for the two kidnappers, depending on the severity of their crimes, one has been sentenced to one month of labor reform, and the other to six months of labor reform."
Those who harbored ill intentions but hadn't yet acted upon them, we seized the opportunity to label them and demote them. Now they're just ordinary people. We also contacted the local security force to monitor them closely and ensure they have no chance to recover.
As for killing him, he neither considered it nor dared to.
"If you feel the punishment is not enough, I will immediately notify others to increase it."
General Li tapped his fingers on the table twice, then shook his head: "That's fine. Just keep a close eye on them, make sure they don't make any irreparable mistakes." Given his high position, he couldn't directly take drastic measures against those who hadn't yet acted. But causing them some trouble was still an option.
Qiu Man immediately understood and nodded: "I understand, I will definitely do it well."
"By the way, go tell Xiao Kai that we've made him work so hard, we should give him some compensation. It's almost Chinese New Year, so have Xiao Kai prepare some things and send them to the bases before the Spring Festival, just as an extra meal for everyone." General Li's face was gentle, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.
Qiu Man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thought that people who benefited from this would remember Xiao Kai's kindness, and he could collect a large amount of faith points.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
----------
As January drew to a close, Shen Yanming was playing a game with his little one when he heard a loud knocking on the door.
He frowned, wondering what had happened now. But before he could do anything, his wife, wearing her cotton shoes, went to open the door.
"Captain Li, please come in." Bi Qiaoan smiled and stepped aside.
Li Gangtie nodded and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What are you doing? Why didn't you say hello to me? You had your wife open the door."
Shen Yan rolled his eyes: "I didn't know it was you knocking. By the way, could you be a little gentler next time? I feel like this door is going to fall apart if you knock on it a few more times."
Li Gangtie scratched his head a little embarrassedly, wanting to say that he was used to it. But looking at An An's warm and clear eyes, he could only nod: "I'll be more careful next time."
Shen Yanming didn't press the matter further, asking, "What do you want? Has something happened at the base again?"
"No, the base is doing fine. Your medicine is very effective. Ever since it was started being brewed in the canteen, not many people have gotten sick."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's all psychological. The medicine is just ordinary medicine; at most, it can prevent a cold, but it doesn't have much effect."
Li Gangtie disagreed, but didn't continue.
"By the way, do you have time tomorrow? Everyone's planning to go out and try their luck. Are you coming?" Li Gangtie asked.
Shen Yanming's eyes lit up: "Catch a rabbit?"
"Ah, I'll just grab whatever's available. It's almost Chinese New Year, I'll treat myself to some meat."
"Everyone should go?"
"You know Lao Qi and his son, Ye Wengui, Guo Tingshuo, Liang Huaxin, that's about it. You can bring people along, but they have to be of good character, and not too many." Otherwise, if it becomes public knowledge, it will be very troublesome.
Shen Yanming nodded: "Qi Lin is going too? That kid is still young, isn't he?"
"You're not young anymore!" Li Gangtie laughed heartily. "You're sixteen already, it's time to go out and gain some experience."
Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow but said nothing more.
Bi Qiaoan took two roasted sweet potatoes out of the oven and handed one to Li Gangtie: "Be careful, it's hot."
Li Gangtie took a deep sniff and said with a smile, "I won't stand on ceremony with you. Don't worry, I'll hunt two rabbits for Old Shen tomorrow, you won't be shortchanged."
Bi Qiaoan chuckled: "Why be so polite? I didn't say anything."
"Haha, I'm just embarrassed, I always have to eat something when I come here. I don't know why, but your sweet potatoes are just so delicious."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and shook her head, jokingly saying, "How about we trade your sweet potatoes for mine?"
