"Did that guy named Chen Xin really do that?"

Within a few days, Zhu Xianyue heard the news circulating in the base.

And this somewhat darkly humorous story made her laugh for a long time.

In just a few days, the story of those students had spread throughout the base. People said that those students really climbed to the sky on a ladder, and they were just wishful thinking.

The leading students have been avoiding people these days.

Although these students have read a lot of books, there are some things that cannot be obtained just by reading a lot of books.

Their previous disdain for the people in the base was directly displayed on their faces. It can be expected that these students will still have a lot to suffer in the next period of time.

"What a bunch of ignorant students. It's better to let them suffer."

Qin Tang said.

"After all, when you were in St. Liwen City, your reputation was mostly smeared by people like this."

Zhu Xianyue turned around and gave Qin Tang a meaningful look.

Don't think she doesn't know that the story of those students spread throughout the base is indispensable for the "kind help" of Qin Tang in front of her.

You know, although everyone in the base usually likes gossip, if no one promotes it, then this gossip will definitely not spread for such a long time.

Qin Tang was stared at by Zhu Xianyue, and he coughed inexplicably with a guilty conscience.

"Ahem."

"Well, let's not talk about this topic for now. Recently I heard that there has been a serious famine in the Highgate Kingdom." Qin Tang rubbed his nose and said.

"Recently, several other surrounding countries have suddenly cut off their food supplies to Highgate Country, catching the top management off guard."

"Previously, Highgate's domestic food had always relied on supplies from several surrounding countries. The top management had never thought about growing it themselves. Moreover, although the price of food in several surrounding countries was slightly higher, it was still within the tolerance range of the top management.

Within.”

"...The most important thing is that some officials received kickbacks during the procurement process."

"However, no one expected this food shortage. I can guarantee that the entire country of Highgate will soon be in chaos."

"We are the only ones who have always had a sufficient supply of food, and have not been affected by Highgate at all."

Qin Tang's tone when he spoke was a bit inexplicably proud, and also a bit inexplicably guilty.

Zhu Xianyue just looked at him with a smile and said nothing more.

Of course she knew the reason for Qin Tang's guilty conscience.

——In fact, at the beginning, Qin Tang objected to using most of the base for farming.

After all, in the mind of any normal person nowadays, a serious base should not look like this - there are no tall buildings in the base, but fields after fields.

Even Qin Tang was shocked when he heard Zhu Xianyue's proposal for the first time.

But... no matter what, Qin Tang still agreed to Zhu Xianyue's proposal.

I have to say that Zhu Xianyue quite appreciates this aspect of Qin Tang. This guy has always put interests first.

As long as he finds something that is beneficial to him, he will not care about useless face issues.

You know, if Zhu Xianyue had not been affirmed by the readers in the comic comment section, she would not have dared to do such an outrageous thing.

However, Qin Tang did this entirely based on his own judgment.

Therefore, even Zhu Xianyue sometimes wonders whether Qin Tang trusts her too much.

After all, except for Qin Tang, Zhu Xianyue could never think of any organization in the world where the boss would build the base into something similar to a vegetable greenhouse just because of her words.

Recently, the famine in Highgate has really reached a very terrible stage.

A few days ago, the famine in Highgate was still tolerable, and most of the areas where famine occurred were slums.

Even if the people in the slums make trouble again, it will be difficult to make any noise. After all, in the eyes of Highgate's senior officials, a group of untouchables will die if they die.

So some time ago, many stories that can be called human tragedies happened in the slums.

Many of those stories have reached Shengliwen City, and Zhu Xianyue feels a little unbearable every time she hears them.

However, the senior officials of Highgate Country remained indifferent.

In Highgate, the rich and the poor always live in two worlds.

Rich people never care what kind of world poor people live in, they think that kind of thing will always happen to them.

However, these rich people will soon understand a truth -

In front of the two words "food", no one can be alone.

It's a pity that they didn't understand this truth at first.

Wait until they understand...

It's already too late.

Signs of food shortages started on supermarket shelves.

One day, there were inexplicably a lot of empty spaces on the shelves of some supermarkets.

What started as small supermarkets on the edge of slums quickly spread to central cities.

Finally, even some very famous supermarkets in Highgate began to experience similar phenomena.

For people in the three cities of Highgate, "famine" is an unimaginable thing.

They have long been accustomed to the automatic appearance of food, packaged vegetables, and fresh fruits on the shelves of shopping malls.

However……

When they entered the supermarket one day and saw the shelves empty, no one could believe their eyes.

"What's going on? Where's the food?"

"Why are all the shelves empty today?"

"I don't know. I've been to several supermarkets around, but there's nothing there?"

When the first group of people noticed that more and more people were missing items in the supermarket, they raised questions.

After verifying their words, the second group of people began to panic.

The word spread to ten, and gradually the whole country of Highgate became turbulent. People began to go out to look for it, so as to snap up the few supplies in the supermarket.

"Why are there suddenly no supplies?"

"Impossible! Didn't the high-level officials of Highgate tell us that we have no shortage of food at all?"

"The food supply in Highgate has been exhausted." In the Ole Empire, General Alice was closing her eyes and listening to the report from her subordinates.

"The residents of Highgate have fallen into panic. Violent incidents have occurred frequently recently, and people have begun to rush for the last bit of food..."

Before the subordinate finished speaking, he suddenly heard his communicator ringing.

Alice opened her eyes calmly.

The subordinate saw Alice's eyes and immediately walked over and turned on the contact.

Soon, a familiar face appeared on the screen.

"General Alice." Qi Feng has long lost his former majesty. At this moment, his hair is disheveled and his expression is distorted.

"This is different from what we agreed before. How can you destroy the market trading environment for no reason? Exchanging money for food is a matter of course."

"I heard that you informed several small countries around you that if they dare to sell food to Highgate Country again, you will send troops to them and force them to cut off food from our Highgate Country."

"Don't you think this is too despicable? You are simply the most shameless person in the world!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Alice couldn't help laughing.

She laughed so loudly that she almost cried tears of laughter.

"Hahaha……"

The more Alice smiled, the more ugly the expression on Qifeng's face became.

"Qifeng, Qifeng..." Alice shook her head and sighed.

She didn't even look at it, and turned off the screen without even caring that Qi Feng might get furious.

"Hey! Hey!" Qifeng looked at the screen that suddenly turned black, as if he had been hit in the head, and his hands were shaking with anger.

How is it possible...how is it possible that someone dares to hang up his screen?

A cold feeling suddenly flowed through Qi Feng's whole body. Qi Feng didn't want to think about it deeply, so he just attributed everything to the rudeness of the person opposite him.

He is the first general of Highgate Kingdom!

He is one of the most popular supporting characters in comics! How could he be disliked by others?

"Food and grass are the most important thing in war."

Alice hung up the communication and slowly turned her eyes to a book on the bookshelf next to her.

The book was thick, and there was a line clearly written on the cover - "On the Importance of Food and Grass in War."
