She chuckled softly and said, "No, I won't let him sleep in the bed." She patted the empty space on the left and said gently, "Only you can sleep here, I won't let him."
Qin Zhi liked hearing this and left satisfied.
Meeting room.
Qin Zhi was brought in by a soldier and knocked on the door.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the commander excitedly stood up from his seat. The deputy commander also stood up, and the rest of the people could no longer remain seated. Lu Panpan followed suit, her gaze never leaving Qin Zhi from the moment he appeared.
It's not that I've taken a liking to it.
She had always thought that the big shot would be like the commander-in-chief.
He was a bit older, dignified and solemn, with a face that exuded an air of authority.
The result was completely different from what she had imagined.
He was very tall, with sharp eyes and clean, crisp facial features. He had a majestic figure and looked slim from a distance when dressed, but he was definitely well-endowed when undressed. Even in the apocalypse, there was no shortage of handsome men, but this was the first time I had seen one with such a strong sense of oppression.
The man's sharp gaze swept over her, and Lu Panpan stiffened in fright, her face turning deathly pale instantly.
The others also became reserved.
Qin Zhi shook hands with the commander, admitting he was late, and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Commander: "Not at all, it is an honor for our base to have you stay."
He then led Qin Zhi to the conference table and personally pulled out a chair for him.
The level of importance attached to it astonished others.
Knowing Qin Zhi's prowess, and considering the commander is, after all, the top official of the base city, this...
Just how strong is it?
After everyone was seated, the commander first introduced Qin Zhi to everyone, and then introduced the other people to Qin Zhi one by one. When it was Lu Panpan's turn, the commander introduced Qin Zhi to everyone.
"This is Lu Panpan." Lu Panpan stood up, and the commander continued, "Major General Lu has made significant contributions to the base. Don't let her young age fool you; she's very accurate in her work, and she's also very beautiful. She's a woman who doesn't yield to men." He then gave her a thumbs up.
Lu Panpan felt embarrassed by the praise and lowered her head shyly.
At first, she felt a little guilty because these achievements couldn't be attributed to her alone; it was all thanks to Sakura who helped her and provided her with ideas.
Later, Sakura always said: "Don't feel burdened. You are the chosen one, and I am just your helper."
Over time, Lu Panpan tacitly accepted that the credit should be taken by herself.
Qin Zhi nodded, indicating that he understood.
The deputy commander then reported on the current security situation and number of personnel at the base, while Qin Zhi sat quietly listening.
The commander encouraged everyone to keep up the good work and strengthen patrols, saying, "Kill all zombies!" This made Qin Zhi frown.
Although she was speaking, she kept glancing at Qin Zhi out of the corner of her eye. Noticing the change in his expression, she stopped talking and asked him instead, "Mr. Qin, what do you think we should do?"
Qin Zhi relaxed his slightly furrowed brows, his gaze falling on the commander's face, his voice cold and deep: "Just call me Qin Zhi. I'm new here and don't know the rules of your base. Explain, I'm listening."
The commander then continued.
Then they talked about expansion.
Lu Panpan, who had been silent, thought of Qu Xiaoying.
Sakura told her to follow her heart.
Express your opinions more often.
Lu Panpan felt that she couldn't let Xiaoying down.
She said, "The base's weapons are enough to defend against zombies. Building a small factory in the inner city to replenish the warehouse's ammunition will suffice. Right now, the most important thing is food. I suggest building a grain depot on the outskirts to expand the area for grain cultivation."
Grain Minister: "Indeed, our base has a large number of people now, and the daily consumption is also high. We need large-scale planting to ensure the food supply for the soldiers in the future."
Minister of Defense: "The zombie horde is quite large, with small zombie waves every night. We don't have enough bullets to keep up with the demand. Food is important, but we can't ignore security either. Otherwise, if the zombies attack the city and everyone gets bitten and mutates, who will eat the food we grow?"
Lu Panpan: "What if we run out of food first? How can we fight? Even if we have bullets, we'll be too weak from hunger. Without food, a person can only survive for about a week!"
Minister of Defense: "Raise more pigs, can't we eat meat? Rabbits reproduce quickly, raise more rabbits. We've already allocated a large plot of land for growing grain. These few plots are all for you to grow grain. Don't we care about our safety here? Didn't Young General Lu say that the space's food supply is enough for us to eat for seven or eight years?"
On the conference table.
Both sides had their own reasons, and the argument raged on, with each side believing their version of events was more important.
Upon hearing about Lu Panpan's "space," Qin Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly. After listening for a while, he finally interjected, asking the girl directly:
"You have space?"
Lu Panpan dared not look Qin Zhi in the eye.
The other person's gaze was too sharp, as if he could see right through her at a glance. With Qu Xiaoying gone, Lu Panpan had not yet built up her confidence and was a little afraid of Qin Zhi.
nod.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the commander answered for her: "Young Master Lu awakened spatial abilities and stockpiled a lot of food. She made an indispensable contribution to the establishment of the base."
Qin Zhi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The deputy commander was getting a headache from their arguing. Both sides were important, but growing crops was too land-intensive; otherwise, they wouldn't have to argue about this issue in meetings every day.
Undecided, the commander asked Qin Zhi whether to allocate the land for planting crops or to build defenses.
Qin Zhi didn't answer that question. Instead, he asked, "Do you know about the Imperial Green?"
As soon as the words were spoken, both sides of the argument fell silent.
That thing is a supreme treasure in the crystal core world. Its effects are powerful. Now it's been passed down by word of mouth. As long as you can refine the Emperor Green Crystal Core, you will have the ability to control the weather.
Many people awaken supernatural abilities in the apocalypse.
Most people actually believe in this ability.
Not to mention those scattered teams, even the upper echelons of the South City base had considered it, but they didn't know where the target was.
"I heard it's still inside a zombie's brain?"
"Zombies with imperial green are also impenetrable."
"It's not easy to carry."
One of the ministers seemed to be trying to curry favor with Qin Zhi.
"If others can't do it, you'll definitely succeed with ease." He said to Qin Zhidao, "No matter how hard a zombie's brain is, can it withstand your molecular disintegration?"
The commander immediately thought of a way to keep Qin Zhi in the game. Of course, this required him to be trustworthy. However, destruction is necessary for construction. Compared to the Imperial Green, they needed a strong teammate.
"Brother Qin, if you need, I will have someone help you find the whereabouts of the Imperial Green."
Qin Zhi's gaze fell on the commander, and he asked meaningfully, "You don't want it?"
The commander laughed: "I'm almost fifty years old. That stuff can't extend my lifespan. It would be a waste to give it to me. The future belongs to you young people. The country depends on you to protect it."
Qin Zhi's gaze fell on the deputy commander, who was in his thirties.
The deputy commander naturally follows the commander's lead.
"Brother Qin is very capable, so Imperial Green is the perfect choice for you."
Both commanders have expressed their positions, so the rest of the people obviously cannot accept it, not even if they want to. Besides, they can't compete with Qin Zhi, and everyone knows their own limitations.
The double-crossing between the South City base and the ground city is quite different.
