Li Yao finished collecting the military base around noon, so she took out some wraps from her spatial storage and ate them while collecting the supplies. If she choked, she would drink some milk tea to help. The shop she bought them from was a popular spot in the night market, and the food was pretty good. The braised meat was especially fragrant.
Mentioning braised meat, Li Yao remembered that she hadn't bought any ready-made braised meat. Li Yao communicated with the system: [6834, have Dazhuang order braised meat from designated suppliers, deliver to local warehouses, warehouses in other cities, and online orders for the rest, maximum quantity for the entire menu, 50,000 kilograms of each item].
The system replied, "Okay, host. I've already informed Dazhuang."
After listening, Li Yao continued collecting the food. Around 1 p.m., an emergency news headline appeared on Li Yao's phone, saying, "The flag-and-stripe country's years of deployment have been destroyed in one fell swoop, and it may fall from its position as the world's number one country." Many science popularization bloggers on Douyin also appeared, explaining what the disappearance of the flag-and-stripe country's overseas military bases means for the world or for the general public.
"China has made emergency deployments, conducting aircraft carrier patrols in the South China Sea, Bohai Sea, and Yellow Sea."
A large number of military vehicles were spotted on the highway.
The trending topic is also #The global impact of the disappearance of the flag-and-stripe country's overseas military bases#

Li Yao understood that the government was intervening to control public opinion and prevent panic, also fearing that the flag-raising government's dogs would act rashly.
Li Yao asked the system, "[6834, if the Flag Country really launches an atomic bomb or something, will the Space Devourer be able to absorb it in time?]"
System [Yes, host. Space Devouring can devour any target selected by the host, regardless of the item's state or size.]
Li Yao once again sighed with relief that she was fortunate to have the space application system. If it were a spiritual spring system or a mission-oriented system, she wouldn't dare to be so reckless; it would easily backfire. One intercontinental ballistic missile might have been enough to send her packing.
Li Yao said to the system, "[6834, then you should monitor all countries. It's fine if they attack directly, but if they send missiles to China, you need to let me know immediately so I can be swallowed up. I don't want to have to wear a radiation suit and retire in my old age.]"
The system replied: "Okay, host."
Li Yao then scrolled through Douyin while collecting her food. However, she also saw some videos of robberies and shootings abroad. Many people knew that the United States was currently preoccupied with its own problems due to the disappearance of its military bases and lacked sufficient military strength, so they acted recklessly. Terrorist organizations took the opportunity to launch rockets at the government of a state, and many people began to gather at the Pentagon and the White House.
However, the video footage shows that the armed police have already taken to the streets to begin the crackdown.
Li Yao, unconcerned, continued collecting meals. It seemed her prepared meals weren't enough, as the appetite had increased. So, Li Yao instructed Da Zhuang to continue booking banquets and buffets at large restaurants or hotels in second- and third-tier cities. The banquets were ordered at the highest standard for 500 people with a full menu, and the buffets were ordered at the most luxurious standard for 1,000 people. Only after ordering tens of thousands of servings of each type did she feel at ease.
At 10 a.m., Li Yao finally had a chance to catch her breath, only to see the news report that "the United States is expanding its troop presence at overseas military bases in Ireland, Cyprus, the United States, Gibraltar, Afghanistan, Kenya, Sierra Leone, the Falkland Islands, Canada and Brunei, the Suez Canal, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and St. Martin, an eagle-owned territory. Bases that previously had 1,000 troops have expanded to 2,000, and those with fewer than 1,000 troops have increased to 1,000. Furthermore, the United States plans to build a military base in Guam, which has been strongly opposed by the United States..."
Li Yao understood that once the military bases of the Flag Nation disappeared, various countries would want to seize territory. However, Li Yao wasn't in a hurry. He would repair them and then collect the spoils himself. The fog would begin in July of next year, and there would be frequent tsunamis, flash floods, and droughts in some areas in May and June. Therefore, by May of next year, all military bases in the Asia-Pacific region could be eliminated. As long as there were no military bases around the Dragon Nation's borders, it would be impossible for other countries to form an effective encirclement during the apocalypse. Then, when the apocalypse came, there would be no need to worry about the great powers invading and seizing resources. Everyone could focus on dealing with zombies and their own people, and Li Yao could just relax and do nothing.
After a moment of self-pity, Li Yao felt a chill run down her spine. She had patriotism, but not much. Once she could fully support herself, she could collect a little more. Anyway, she couldn't let these Western powers benefit at all. If the places she hadn't even planned to clean up ended up being invaded and robbed by a bunch of foreigners, she would probably be so angry that she would want to take over the entire American continent.
