Since more than ten days ago, Li Ba went to give bonuses to his cheap cousin. He learned some situations from the other party and had already noticed that the common days of the settlement had come to an end.

In the end of the world, food was the foundation. There were 50,000 survivors in Xibu City, and the amount of food consumed every day was a huge amount. In addition, there were nearly 100,000 refugees outside the city. Although the official did not take care of it, he did not completely give up these similar types in real action. He distributed food and food supplies in disguise through various names. Although they were the worst coarse grains, the amount consumed every day was also very large.

More than 90% of all these food and food resources were retained before the end of the day. Due to restrictions on conditions, the government does not have the ability to grow food on a large scale to solve the problem of food and clothing for survivors.

After all, the materials retained in the towns around Xibu are limited, and as time goes by, they are consumed bit by bit. By the time the official army and mercenary team can no longer find materials from outside. That day is also the day when Xibu is in trouble and collapses and separations.

The bad signs have begun to show.

Humans are evolving, and zombies are also evolving. Compared to a few months ago, there are more and more mutant zombies wandering in wilderness towns. It is becoming more and more difficult to search for materials.

This has been confirmed by Li Ba's recent departure from the city.

Outside the city, the news from Luo Jianguo was getting more and more difficult and dangerous for refugees to go out to find food. The government has collected less and less supplies from refugees.

In the same situation, the mercenary teams in the city are not having a good time. There are news of group destruction from small-scale mercenary teams. Nowadays, many mercenary teams have begun to combine themselves and gather more powerful firepower to have the confidence to go out of the city to search for supplies.

Even so, the harvest is still small. According to reliable information, towns within 20 kilometers of Xibu have no idea of ​​finding any materials. The mercenary team wants to obtain materials in two directions. One is to follow the provincial road north and enter Liyang County. The other is to face south and go to the junction of Wujiang Town and Su and Hui provinces.

In these two directions, before the Doomsday, the population was dense and there were many zombies. Although there were supplies, if one was not good, it would encounter a group of zombies. A team with a slightly weaker strength was likely to encounter danger and be wiped out.

The place where Li Ba took his men to today is near Wujiang Town. Only here can we search for a large amount of supplies. They have gained a lot of gains, but it does not mean that other teams can do it.

There are nearly forty evolvers in the two brigades. In Xibu City, other companies probably do not have this foundation except for the official and numerous major forces.

As food and food resources decrease, it will be the first to be affected, which will affect the quality of life of survivors in the city. Merchants with a keen sense of smell will definitely be aware of this situation, reduce food and food transactions, and hoard them.

Such signs have appeared.

According to Li Ba's speculation, food shortage will cause chain reactions, depreciation of food coupons, riots among residents, runs of the bank... and then trigger riots and even shake the order set by the official.

The greatest possibility is that the official grain bank is closed and the grain coupons are turned into waste paper. The fragile financial system of Xibu settlement collapsed, and the survivors replied to the bartering method. The official monetary circulation order has been established overnight, and it has returned to the pre-liberation.

Of course, if the official has enough food reserves, the crisis can be resolved. But for Li Ba, he had to be prepared to deal with all possible crises.

Trucks loaded with food and supplies drove into the headquarters of the commercial bank. Everyone was busy, including Li Ba, who personally directed the unloading of goods in the warehouse.

The headquarters warehouse covers an area of ​​10,000 square meters and can store hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies. Now, the warehouse only has a corner full of food and food. Even so, the amount of grain stored in this batch is quite large. If taken out, it will be enough for the entire settlement and the food for the two months of food for all refugees outside the city.

A small part of this grain was found by Li Ba who went out of the city in recent months. Most of it was obtained by him using his transactions with the research institute to earn a large amount of food coupons and purchasing them from the market.

Manpower and food. These two are the foundation of the end of the world.

Li Ba has all his possessions and strength, which is enough to give him a position in Xibu in troubled times.

From afternoon until dark, food resources were continuously transported into the warehouse. The employees of the entire Fengcheng Trading Company were extremely busy, and even those future backbones joined the ranks to help unload the goods.

When the Harvest Trading Company was busy, the management committee building was brightly lit in the south of Zhennan.

"Are you doing this destroying the existing order in the settlement?"

"Disrupt order? Joke, you are uncontrollably issuing food coupons to make money. In my opinion... your management committee is the culprit of destroying order!"

On the top floor, there was a large conference room. Fierce quarrels kept coming from it. Here, seven members of the Management Committee representing the highest official level are negotiating with the four most powerful forces in the settlement.

Liang Shaoping sat in the middle of the conference table, staring at the opposite side. A middle-aged man in a suit was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If he hadn't been scruples, he would have wanted to take action immediately and kill the other party on the spot.

"Shut up!"

Liang Shaoping, who had been silent, spoke at this moment. He is the most powerful person in Xibu settlement now, a fourth-level earth-based superpower, a military leader, chairman of the management committee, and an uncrowned king of Xibu City.

Suddenly, the conference room became quiet.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Liang Shaoping stared at the opposite side, the man who was respected by the survivor in the city, spoke slowly.

"It's very simple, we need to evolve the agent to make formulas."

Long Sihai's words were gentle, with a faint smile on his face, full of masculine charm.

"Do you think it's possible?"

Liang Shaoping snorted. This guy finally showed his fox's tail, as he expected.

"There are more and more mutated zombies outside the city, and the threat to Xibu City is getting bigger and bigger. You cannot be too selfish and enjoy the research results alone."

Sitting on the left side of Long Sihai, a burly man with a green birthmark on his right face spitting and talking nonstop: "In order to defeat zombies and to continue human civilization, you must hand over the formula for evolutionary potion for everyone to share!"

"Qinglang, just your Blood Wolf Mercenary Group is so stinking that it is a bad habit of bullying men and dominating women. I also have the nerve to talk about it here, and tell me what human civilization is and occupying the moral commanding heights. I'll bah!" Standing behind Liang Shaoping, a handsome young officer retorted with disdain on his face.

"Zheng Jun, you are fucking looking for a blow, right?"

The man named Qinglang stood up with a fierce face, staring at the young officer named Zheng Jun like a hungry wolf, without any fear of the identity of the other party's military senior.

Qinglang, whose real name is Yuankui, is the leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. One of his mother and four brothers, all of them are supernatural evolutionists, and they are called the Four Wolves of the Yuan family by the survivors of the settlement. The four brothers have more than ten evolvers and more than 800 mercenary members, and they are extremely powerful, only under Long Sihai.

"Just rely on you!"

Zheng Jun raised his eyebrows and wanted to make some moves.

"If you want to fight, you will have a chance in the future!"

Liang Shaoping spoke. Zheng Jun immediately stopped his power and stood beside him. At this time, Liang Shaoping looked at Qinglang coldly and said lightly: "If you brothers in the Yuan family want to show off their power, it seems that they have found the wrong partner!"

Qinglang was still afraid of Liang Shaoping, so he snorted coldly and sat down again.

"We are here today, just looking for solutions, and we don't mean to challenge the official!"

A beautiful woman with long hair spoke. She is extremely beautiful, wearing a tight leather jacket, cool and sexy, and speaks indifferently without any emotion. In terms of temperament, she looks a bit similar to Han Xue.

"Miss Si is right, I agree." Another middle-aged man agreed with a smile.

These two are the leaders of two other large mercenary teams in the settlement. The long-haired beauty is named Si Jiyue, a wind-type supernatural person. She has more than 300 Storm Mercenaries under her command, all of whom are women. She is also considered an alien in the settlement of Xibu.

Another named Cao Bin, a fire-type superpower, the leader of the Chiyan Mercenary Group, has more than 500 people under his command.

These two families, plus the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group of Qinglang, are both top three mercenary forces in Xibu. They control more than 30 evolutionists and thousands of mercenary team members, and are extremely powerful.

The three of them, plus Long Sihai's troops, have almost no foundation and strength below the official level. This is also the fear of Liang Shaoping. These forces have long been united and help each other. He is confident of destroying any side, but the four families have the strength to show off with the official level, which makes him dare not easily make rashes and break up with these guys.

"Evolutionary potion formula is of great importance... Even if I agree, the institute will never agree."

Liang Shaoping spoke. There were signs of easing in his tone. He looked at Long Sihai and others and said slowly: "You should know Mr. Su's temper. My official relationship with him is only a cooperative relationship, not a superior or subordinate... He has to nod his head in this matter."

"When Xibu settlement was established, it was clearly stipulated that the highest decision-making level of the Management Committee representatives would be made."

Long Sihai spoke, his tone was still pleasant, "As long as Major Liang, you nodded in agreement, I believe Mr. Su should be fine."

After hearing this, Liang Shaoping snorted and replied: "As you said, the Management Committee is the highest decision-making level, and all decisions require seven votes." He slowly raised his right hand and said: "Now I announce the vote in the name of the President of the Management Committee. If you do not support the disclosure of the evolutionary potion formula, please raise your hand!"

The seven members of the seven major members of the Xibu settlements, five of whom were from the military. After Liang Shaoping raised his hand, the other four immediately raised their hands and rejected the motion.

"This matter is related to the rise and fall of the settlement. Logically speaking... our four families should also have the right to vote." Long Sihai slowly raised his hand and then said: "If you support the public formula of evolutionary potion, please raise your hand."

Qinglang, Cao Bin, and Si Jiyue immediately raised their hands. In the same vote, they raised their hands to agree to the disclosure of the evolutionary potion formula.

Seeing this, Liang Shaoping frowned and did not stop him. He turned his eyes to the other two members who had not yet expressed his opinion and said, "Messenger Zhao, Member Xue, what do you mean..."

"I agree with the publication of the formula for evolutionary potion. In the end of the world, only humans can work together to overcome this disaster!" A middle-aged man with white eyes stood up at this moment, waved his fists and said passionately. He actually turned against each other, chose the side to stand, and supported Long Sihai and others.

"Commissioner Xue, don't forget your identity!"

A middle-aged man wearing a major uniform shouted angrily. The man's name is Wang Feng, the captain of the evolution brigade, and also serves as a member of the management committee. Liang Shaoping's most trusted deputy.

"Commissioner Wang, Xue is only responsible for his conscience and will not favor any party." The middle-aged man wearing glasses retorted righteously. His name is Xue Ligui, and his identity is the same as Zhao Laifu. He worked in Xibu Town before the end of the day. After the settlement was established, he was elected as a member of the management committee due to his wide connections and also served as the director of the administrative department.

Among the seven members of the National Congress, he and Zhao Laifu are not military forces, and they usually have interactions with Long Sihai and others. At critical moments, they even stood up to talk to Long Sihai.

"Five to five, the rest...it depends on which party Member Zhao supports?"

Long Sihai spoke with a usual smile on his face. He changed his tone and said, "Of course, the decision is still in your hands. If you reject it, we have nothing to say."

He said something thorny and was excited. Liang Shaoping heard it and smiled faintly: "Okay! Let's let Committee Member Zhao decide on this matter."

The next moment, everyone in the conference room looked at Zhao Laifu.

"What's my opinion..."

Zhao Laifu started to speak out. When everyone thought that he would support the proposal of Long Sihai and others, the guy spoke out against it.

"Evolutionary potions are very good. Once they are spread, they will have a great impact on the existing order in Xibu. Therefore, I do not agree with the disclosure."

When Zhao Laifu shook his head and said this, Long Sihai's face changed and he immediately became gloomy. However, Liang Shaoping showed a knowing smile.
