"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was busy at the base and arrived late." There was no apology for being late in his tone, only a kind of boasting that was hard to conceal.
After Sun Weijun came in, the conference room became lively for a while.
"Lieutenant General Sun, please take a seat."
"It doesn't matter if Sun Zhong comes a little later. We all know how busy you are for the base."
Chief Lu and Liu Jianpeng looked at these people coldly, surrounding Sun Weijun and flattering him.
Sun Weijun laughed, ignoring the compliments. He then glanced at Chief Lu and Liu Jianpeng calmly and sat down casually. "Where were you going? Keep going."
Everyone turned their eyes to Chief Lu, but there was no sign of being offended on Chief Lu's old but wise face. He drank a sip of tea calmly and took over the topic calmly.
Assistant Wen curled his lips, refilled Chief Lu's tea, and then slowly placed the information in his hand in front of Lieutenant General Sun.
"The data in your hands is the current population and material statistics of the base.
The next page contains a list of materials urgently needed for base construction, as well as the future personnel arrangements for the base."
Everyone looked at each other, picked up the materials on the table and studied them carefully.
There are currently 5,700 survivors in the base, 59% of whom are soldiers, or 3,600 people, and the rest are survivors, including 800 people from the Yan family.
Among these people, there are a total of 314 people with special abilities.
Among them, the number of soldiers who awakened special powers was the largest, 201. Half of these people were Liu Jianpeng's men, a small number were Chief Lu's subordinates, and the remaining 40% were Sun Weijun's men.
Behind it are the existing material reserves.
The existing food can last for fifteen days if everyone eats frugally.
However, the drinking water people need can only last for ten days, not including domestic water.
Looking further down, there are steel bars, cement, steel plates, guardrails, generators, experimental equipment, medical equipment, medicines, and work arrangements for ordinary people.
The problems recorded in the document were like small mountains, one after another, crashing down on everyone present.
"What kind of world is this? We have nothing to eat or drink, and we're not even allowed to live?"
The conference room was plunged into a solemn atmosphere for a moment. Faced with such a difficult situation, everyone looked at each other, feeling that they were in the same boat.
"I called everyone here so that everyone can pool their wisdom and find a solution to the current predicament."
"By the way, not far from our base is the national meat reserve cold storage. Let's send someone to bring the supplies back to the base. This way, the food reserves can last at least three to five months."
"Another issue is water. I wonder if the groundwater is still drinkable?"
The speaker was Captain Li, a subordinate of Liu Jianpeng. He had awakened the golden power after the end of the world. He set his eyes on Zhou Wenbo who was standing next to him.
Zhou Wenbo is a famous bacteriologist and doctoral supervisor at Kyoto University. He has published many papers on bacteria and pathogens throughout his life and is an authority on the subject of bacteriology.
Zhou Wenbo glanced at Sun Weijun, adjusted his glasses, and said seriously, "The groundwater has been infected by the zombie virus. Currently, the only water available for human consumption is bottled water."
"Also, there's no professional large laboratory here, let alone specialized equipment for research. I suggest we send someone to transport the equipment from the Kyoto laboratory here so we can begin research immediately."
As soon as Zhou Wenbo finished speaking, someone expressed his opposition.
“Food and water are long-term issues and there is no one-time fix.
The key now is how to quickly build the wall, block the zombies first, ensure survival, and then consider life issues."
"As you said, clearing out the zombies is a long-term task.
The power supply should be restored to normal before other work can be carried out.
After all, humans can't locate zombies by smell."
Lu Zhenhai, Sun Weijun, and Liu Jianpeng stood still as they watched the two groups bickering.
The scene was extremely chaotic for a moment.
After arguing for a long time, there is still no conclusion.
Lu Zhenhai looked at his watch, knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, stop arguing."
The meeting room fell silent. Lu Zhenhai glanced at Sun Weijun and Liu Jianpeng and directly assigned tasks.
“Leave Lieutenant General Sun in charge of restoring power and handling experimental equipment.
Lieutenant General Liu will lead the mission of clearing the base of zombies and finding construction materials."
"Do you have any objections?" As soon as Lu Zhenhai said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Liu Jianpeng nodded, indicating that he had no objection. After all, Chief Lu had informed him of the task assignment in advance.
Clearing the zombies in the base is indeed more difficult than repairing the electricity, but there is no way, they have to give in.
Nowadays, most of the guns in the army are in the hands of Sun Weijun, and it is not easy to maintain superficial peace temporarily.
If they were to confront Sun Weijun's troops head-on, the result would be that Sun Weijun would suffer heavy losses and their entire army would be wiped out.
This is not what they want to see!
When Sun Weijun heard Lu Zhenhai's arrangement, he smiled and said to Liu Jianpeng, "Since Lieutenant General Liu has no objection, then I have no objection either!"
Lu Zhenhai also smiled and said, "If you have no objection, then let's move on to the next question!"
The meeting on the future development of the base lasted a full six hours.
Finally, with the mutual compromise of Lu Zhenhai, Liu Jianpeng and Sun Weijun, they reluctantly reached an agreement.
At this time, Yan Xun had already led the team out to hunt zombies, but Han Shuxin avoided this mission because she had her period.
After lying in bed for a long time, Han Shuxin felt a little thirsty, so he had to get up and go downstairs to drink water.
The living room was empty. Han Shuxin just walked into the dining room when she saw the door of the guest bedroom on the first floor was opened.
Grandma Mei walked out of the house wearing reading glasses and holding a newspaper.
Seeing Han Shuxin coming downstairs, he couldn't help but walk over to her and asked with concern, "Why did you get out of bed? You had a terrible stomachache this morning. Are you feeling better now?"
"I'm fine now. I just had a bad stomachache during the first half of my period, but it's fine after that."
Han Shuxin's face lost its usual rosiness, her lips were pale, and she looked tired.
"Are you thirsty? Wait, I'll pour you some water." As she said that, Grandma Mei went into the kitchen.
"No need, Grandma Mei, I'm already downstairs, you can do it yourself." She hurried in and tried to snatch the thermos from Grandma Mei's hand.
"Okay, you're a patient, just stay here." Grandma Mei dodged and rebuked him with a doting tone.
Han Shuxin was helpless and followed Grandma Mei around, "Where is my mother?"
"Yan Yan took people out of the community, and no one knew where they went."
Aunt Mei took out a piece of ginger and brown sugar from the refrigerator, sliced the ginger, put it in the pot, poured boiling water, added brown sugar, turned on the fire, and soon the house was filled with the smell of ginger.
