"Who can argue with that? Food is the most important guarantee for survival in the apocalypse. Without food, nothing else matters!"
A serious expression appeared on Chen Zhongzheng's face.
He hadn't expected Guo Jialiang to make his request at this moment, so he pondered for a moment and then spoke to him.
"How about this, I'll donate ten tons of grain to you for my personal reasons! But it might be a bit troublesome to get the grain from our warehouse."
How about this? We'll set up a food collection meeting on the spot and see if we can help you solve your food problem!
Upon hearing these words, a look of displeasure flashed across Guo Jialiang's face.
"Commander Chen, are you throwing money away like a beggar? Although you personally contributed ten tons of grain, which is a lot, don't forget that we have three million people there. This amount of grain is just a drop in the ocean!"
"Don't worry, I'm talking about publicly collecting food, not asking me to pay out of my own pocket. Everyone here should think of a way, after all, we're all neighbors and we'll all have to live together in the future!"
So everyone started shouting at once.
"That's no problem, I can provide twenty tons!"
"Well, life here isn't much better either. Here's what I'll do: I'll personally contribute thirty tons of grain. That's the maximum I can do!"
"I'll offer fifteen tons!"
"I'll offer twelve tons!"
"..."
Everyone started shouting out the amount they had donated.
Guo Jialiang felt a chill in his heart; he hadn't expected these people to treat him like a beggar.
He came here to obtain a large quantity of grain in order to consolidate his rule, but now it seems that his plan has fallen through.
"Commander Chen, don't you have any compassion at all? I listened to you and led my men back to repair the fortress and rebuild our home. It's not too much to ask that you give us some food now, is it?"
Hearing the other party's unfriendly tone, Chen Zhongzheng immediately straightened his face and retorted.
"Guo Jialiang, let me remind you that we have already signed our respective declarations of independence, and these declarations are still in effect!"
You said we wouldn't help you, but we're working hard to find a way to get this food. Do you want it? If not, then shut your mouth!
Guo Jialiang's lips twitched slightly after hearing this. He hadn't expected Chen Zhongzheng to be so disrespectful to him.
