"Oh my goodness! 500 people?" Lao Liu exclaimed loudly when he heard the number.
"Oh my God!" Cheng Xiao widened her eyes.
Qin Zhong didn't say anything, but looked at Pan Han silently, waiting for his next analysis.
"That's right! 500 people! Cheng Xiao, how many slaves failed to evolve when they drank the evolution potion last time?" Pan Han remembered the previous rule that those who failed to evolve would be expelled. Now he had a new plan.
"11 people! They were originally going to be exiled, but then something happened to my fifth brother, so it was delayed." Cheng Xiao answered immediately.
"Stay. The situation has changed. We need to make changes to expand our influence."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"We have about 100 people now. Starting tomorrow, we will recruit another 400 slaves. But there are new regulations. Anyone who has evolved will move directly into the inner city of the base. Those who have not evolved or have failed to evolve will all live outside the base." Pan Han said seriously.
"Sir, what's the point of letting them build a place to live outside?" asked Lao Wu.
"It sounds like they will consume a lot of our food. But they are an excellent buffer zone. Once the enemy invades, the slaves on the periphery will be the first wave of enemy fire. Therefore, we must not only give them food, but also teach them how to use weapons and build fortifications." Pan Han put out the first cigarette and lit another one.
"Sir, this will consume a lot of our supplies!" Qin Zhong thought about it and found that whether it was food, weapons, or building materials, the figures were astronomical.
"So we have to look for gold again!" Pan Han directly highlighted the key point.
"Oh, Lord Pan. There is a big bank 150 kilometers north of the Tiequn Gang base. There is a vault there." The third brother suddenly remembered and reported immediately.
"Well. This vault was not in our search range before. Firstly, it was too far away, and secondly, the Tiequn Gang was blocking the way. Now we should go and check it out." Boss Qin also agreed to look in the bank vault.
"Then let's divide the work, time waits for no one!" Pan Han asked everyone to keep up the good work.
"Okay, tomorrow I will take the third and fourth brothers to check out the treasury. Cheng Xiao and the sixth brother will go buy slaves. The second sister and the fifth brother will stay at home. Lord Pan, what do you think you should do?" Qin Zhong asked.
"I'll be away for a few days to get some supplies back. We don't have much left." Pan Han thought, he had to go back to his own world and find Wang Cheng to exchange the remaining gold bars for money.
"Okay, let's do it!"
"Everyone have a good rest today and we will act as one tomorrow."
"Meeting adjourned!"
Everyone remembered their tasks and went back to their rooms to rest. Lao Liu saw that everyone was tired and took the initiative to go out to stand guard.
Pan Han returned to the small room on the second floor to rest. Not long after he lay down, he heard someone knocking on the door.
"who?"
"Sir, it's me!"
When Pan Han heard that it was Monk Wei, he called him in.
"What's wrong, monk? Is there something wrong?" Pan Han stood up and handed Monk Wei a cigarette.
"Sir, I just heard that you are recruiting people?" The monk took a puff of his cigarette.
"Yes! We are in urgent need of manpower and are planning to expand our recruitment to 500 people."
"Sir, can I call some people back?"
"Oh? What do you mean?" Pan Han became excited when he heard it.
"Before, I lived in a mountain village for a while. They were all villagers from the same village. After the end of the world came, they hid in the mountains."
"What kind of people are they? Can they be trusted?" Pan Han still remained cautious.
"In the end times, they are considered a group of people with conscience. I was taken in by them before."
"Well, how many of them are there? Who's the leader?"
"When I was there, there were about 700 people. Leading the group was a couple. The man's name was Rick and the woman's name was Maggie!"
"Why do they sound so familiar?" Pan Han couldn't help scratching his head after hearing the two names.
"Sir, after they hid in the mountains, they set up checkpoints everywhere and basically never came out. And they have not evolved. But they are very strong in combat and can be self-reliant. If we can attract them and station them directly outside the base, it should be very suitable." Monk Wei briefly analyzed some pros and cons.
"How far is their base from here?"
"It's very close, just over 100 kilometers to the west."
"Oh? Isn't that Xiliang Mountain?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Xiliang Mountain."
"This mountain isn't small, but it's quite desolate. How have they been able to survive for so long?"
Pan Han thought that to feed more than 700 people, the daily food, drink, defecation and urination costs were a huge number, and it would not be possible to rely on just one mountain.
"Your Excellency may not know that there is a special plant in this mountain. After mutation, its fruit is very large. Not to mention feeding 700 people, even 700 more can be easily fed." While Monk Wei was speaking, he gestured with his hands to show the size of the fruit.
"It sounds like a breadfruit tree." Pan Han put out his first cigarette, lit another one for the monk, and the two continued chatting.
"I don't know what it's called exactly. Anyway, it tastes good. It's also easy to prepare. You just pick it, roast it over the fire, and then you can open the shell and eat it."
"Then when are you planning to go?" After hearing this, Pan Han felt that he could give it a try. After all, if he could come, he would have enough supplies left over to buy slaves.
"The adults have said that the situation is urgent. I plan to go tomorrow."
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
"I dare not. I just hope to bring some supplies with us. After all, if we go to negotiate with them empty-handed, it would show neither sincerity nor our strength." Monk Wei rubbed his hands and said.
"You are so good, Monk Wei. You haven't done anything yet, but you are already targeting me!" For some reason, when Pan Han talked to him, he always thought of Li Yunlong, and his tone changed unconsciously.
"Hehehe. I really want our base to develop quickly. After all, in this world, you can never find a good man like Lord Pan again." Monk Wei quickly flattered him.
"Alright, alright, stop giving me that shit. How much do you want?"
"Not much, just a few dozen cans will do. They must have not eaten meat for a long time. This batch of cans will probably impress them as a gift."
"Sure. Go to Cheng Xiao tomorrow to get 50 boxes of canned food, and we'll give you a car. Is it okay for you to go alone?" Pan Han waved his hand.
"It's the first time, so I'll go alone. After all, I'm familiar with them. If someone else goes, it might have a counterproductive effect." The monk thought about it and insisted on going alone.
"It's a deal! Monk, if you can pull this off, I'll give you a raise and an extra can of food every day."
"Thank you, sir! I will definitely live up to my mission!" Upon hearing this, Monk Wei suddenly stood up and saluted.
"Oh, by the way! Does this base have a name?" Pan Han suddenly remembered this but didn't ask.
"Mountaintop Village!"
