When the representatives of the coastal alliance left, their eyes were red and swollen from being so excited, but they couldn't cry. It was supposed to be a happy occasion.
He knew very well that the thousands of kilograms of seeds he brought back this time could save many lives and at least alleviate the food shortage.
Because of the water and soil symbiosis technology, coupled with temperature control, the first batch of grain can be produced in about a month.
Fu Xixi had just finished her task and was reporting back to Qin Mutong.
"Madam, they have already left with the seeds."
"They said they would open up trade routes and send their armed forces."
Fu Xixi was standing in the courtyard, reporting to Qin Mutong, while Wei Lun stood beside her, feeling somewhat surprised.
It seems that only the Guardian Group is in a relatively good position now; even this coastal alliance, represented by food supplies, can't hold on any longer.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Wei Lun brought over some jelly, you can try some too."
Qin Mutong smiled gently and handed over some jelly, which thrilled Fu Xixi.
Good heavens, how many years has it been since I've seen this? This was something children ate before the disaster, and now I can actually eat it myself.
Fu Xixi took the jelly, as happy as a child, and ran off with it in her arms, as if afraid that Wei Lun would suddenly forbid her from eating it.
"Honey, what should we do now? Everything's done."
Qin Mutong looked at Wei Lun and said, "Now that the guard has suffered so many losses, they are expanding their recruitment. As for the fallen heroes, they have been buried in a unified cemetery."
"I think we have a safe environment now, so why don't we have a baby?"
Wei Lun chuckled, then picked up Qin Mutong and rushed upstairs.
...
At this moment, the coastal representatives have already returned to their gathering place by plane.
Regarding the aircraft, it was actually the Guardian Group's fighter jets that escorted them. They came by car, which was very unsafe. Now that the Guardian Group has aircraft, they simply sent them back to maintain good relations.
When the plane arrived at the headquarters city of the Coastal Alliance, people were initially quite surprised.
How come this plane looks exactly like the Guardian Group's fighter jets that they saw in the AI? They were very surprised. Was the Guardian Group preparing to attack them?
But why is there only one plane?
Fortunately, the representative had contacted his headquarters via satellite communication beforehand; otherwise, the machine gun fire from below would have posed a threat to the fighter jets.
The representatives disembarked from the plane, excitedly carrying thousands of kilograms of seeds back with them, while the fighter jets returned via the same route.
now,
The headquarters of the Coastal Alliance,
"You're back? Did you get the 500 jin of seeds?"
A deep, resonant voice rang out as a burly man asked, "Is this the leader of the Coastal Alliance?"
The importance of seeds has been elevated to the highest level of attention.
"Sir, we've got it! It's not just 500 jin, it's 1,000 jin of seeds!"
The representative said excitedly, his eyes filled with pride and joy.
"Oh? A thousand catties!"
"That's great! You've done a great job. Now, tell me, what position do you want?"
The alliance leader said happily, "Regarding the seeds, after they are distributed, each faction will only have a few dozen to a hundred catties."
Therefore, although a thousand catties of seeds sounds like a lot, there isn't much left after it's distributed.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, I don't need any position. They also had conditions for bringing back the seeds this time."
The representative spoke slowly, wondering if this would cause any objection from the alliance leader.
"Hmm? The conditions are normal. After all, it's a thousand catties of seeds. It would be abnormal if there weren't any conditions."
What demands did they make?
The leader asked, "Generally, if you need any goods or supplies, you can just contribute a little bit yourself. After all, he took a thousand catties of seeds from someone else."
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, they need us to open up trade routes!"
“I promise we will send 5,000 troops to clear the trade routes, and I also promise to send 1,000 soldiers to garrison them.”
The representative said nervously, his heart filled with worry. What if the alliance leader rejected the proposal? Wouldn't that offend the Guardian Group?
"What?"
"You're really bold. Do you even know how many five thousand soldiers are?"
"It would take at least a few of our cities joining forces to make this possible."
"You! You!"
The alliance leader was immediately displeased, but he had already made a promise and couldn't back out now; otherwise, how could he face the wrath of the Guardian Group?
With tanks, planes, and armored missiles, the Guardian Group is simply a force to be reckoned with.
"Fine, since you've agreed, let's do it."
"Sigh, who knows how much loss these thousand pounds of seeds will bring us in the future?"
The alliance leader was quite frustrated. He hadn't really grasped the situation. A large amount of goods were with the Guardian Group. With this powerful backing, they could buy a lot of supplies, which was a huge advantage. It was just a matter of spending manpower and time clearing up the trade routes in the early stages.
After the alliance leader finished speaking, he started making phone calls and contacting some of his subordinate city forces.
The coastal representatives stood nervously to the side, not daring to speak. Fortunately, they had completed their mission regardless, and overall it was a good thing. Even if some force had to be used, it was unavoidable.
Don't coastal cities want to trade with Changhan City?
The so-called opening of trade routes is nothing more than doing some work on roads densely populated with zombies or difficult for vehicles to pass through; it's not a lot of work.
It's unlikely that zombies can be completely eradicated from this trade route; the best that can be done is to ensure the basic safety of the merchants traveling through it.
The leader of the coastal alliance finally contacted many friendly cities, and they responded quickly.
It took approximately two days to assemble an armed force of five thousand men.
From the headquarters of the Coastal Alliance all the way to the gathering place in Changhan City, they cleared the way.
This time, clearing the entire trade route was like clearing out the zombies in Changhan City, and some damaged roads were repaired so that merchants could travel back and forth very quickly.
As for the occasional zombies that wander around, passing merchants can easily deal with them themselves.
It took a full ten days to finally open up the entire trade route.
The five thousand soldiers consumed a great deal of food, surviving on nutritional supplements throughout the journey; their situation was extremely difficult.
But when these five thousand soldiers arrived at the Guardian Group, they realized what paradise truly meant!
A full head of steamed buns, pancakes! The Guardian Group will supply everything!
It only costs some white flour, but that's how extravagant the Guardian Group is!
Therefore, some of these soldiers were reluctant to go back, but in the end, the decision to kill them by those who disobeyed orders forced them to restart their journey back!
