Chapter 70 Food
At first, Luo Hang didn't understand what it means to save people for a fee, but when he heard what Big Sister Tou and Brother Chen said, he suddenly understood.
"Winter should be here in the next few days. At that time, the base city will be fine, but at least half of the people in the gathering place will be threatened by severe winter. This is an opportunity for you." Leng Yuwei directly Find Su Chen.
"Oh, what chance?" Su Chen didn't seem to care.
He was observing his grain storage. After all, he now had two bases. If he didn't store enough grain, it would be ridiculous if he couldn't survive the winter.
"People are willing to give anything in exchange for their lives only when they are in a desperate situation. If you take this opportunity to go to those gathering places and exchange food for things, what do you think you won't get?"
Su Chen rubbed his chin: "Well, the idea is good, but why do you want to exchange it with food, can't you just grab it?"
Leng Yuwei's expression froze, that's right, with Su Chen's strength, besides the base city, it's almost easy to snatch those gathering places, isn't it?
All of a sudden, Leng Yuwei didn't know what to say, while Luo Hang and Zhang Tao didn't say a word, they didn't dare to intervene casually in this situation.
"Hahaha, just kidding. I'm not a tyrant. This way of grabbing things directly is not suitable for me. I can consider the way you said."
Su Chen didn't lie, this way was really good for him.
Not everything can be resolved by force, but what can be resolved peacefully, why use force?
Those people have no grievances against him, so naturally he will not take the initiative to deal with them.
Su Chen contacted the four super units and asked about their recent food situation.
"Commander, the food we currently store is enough for a base city to consume for about half a year. Before winter comes, the food reserves should increase by 1.5 times." This is Ju Ling's voice.
There are at most 10,000 people in all the arms of the two bases, and there are at least a million people in a base city. The consumption of so many people for half a year is quite terrifying.
Basically, even if they never hunted mutant beasts, the stored food would be enough for them to eat for a long time.
"Commander, about 300 kilometers to the north of the sub-base, our soldiers encountered a late-stage sixth-order mutant beast. Do you want your subordinates to go and clear it?" This was Bald Qiang's voice. Upon hearing the battle, He is full of energy.
"Don't worry about it for now, if it continues to approach the sub-base, you can take action to solve it."
The current strength of the super arms is at the peak of the sixth order. With such strength, it should not be too easy to deal with a mutant beast in the late stage of the sixth order.
After thinking about it, Su Chen said, "Increasing food storage, I will use it a little bit then."
"Yes."
Recently, the energy consumption has been very fast. If almost all the soldiers hadn't been dispatched to hunt and kill the mutant beasts, he probably felt that his energy was about to bottom out.
Seeing that he still has nearly 200,000 energy, Su Chen felt his hands a little itchy. He felt that he must build a tank army.
Just when he was about to start, he thought of one thing, once winter came, without the income of mutant beasts, he would only have one source of energy, and that was the mine.
In this case, his energy source is very small.
Without energy, many things cannot be done, and he must keep some energy, just in case.
"It would be nice if I had several mines in my hand."
Thinking of this, Su Chen was startled.
He doesn't have mineral deposits in his hand, doesn't base city have any?
A base city should at least have the location of a few mines, otherwise, where did the metals in the base city come from? It couldn't have been created out of thin air, right?
Now Su Chen was excited, he called Leng Yuwei over and asked her if she knew the location of the mine in Base City.
It's a pity that this kind of news is usually only known to the high-level people, how could Leng Yuwei, who has only entered the base city for a few days, know.
"I don't know about this, but there must be people in the base city who know it, and maybe some people in the gathering place will also know about it, just like this coal mine, which is the closest to our gathering place, so everyone in our gathering place knows about it."
Leng Yuwei's words made Su Chen realize immediately, yes, how could the mines near her home not know about it.
Why was this coal mine not occupied by a gathering place at the beginning? On the one hand, there are a lot of mutant beasts here. On the other hand, the coal in the coal mine is not very useful except for burning for heating.
As long as some ordinary people need it, superhumans almost don't need coal for heating.
Now that the gathering place has been destroyed, no one will come here to dig some coal to go back.
Su Chen didn't hesitate, and directly sent a team of soldiers to those gathering places. At the same time, they used tanks to pull boxes of food. If they agreed to tell the location of the mine, there would be food. If they disagree, hehe.
This time, for the sake of the mine, Su Chen gave the order to die. These soldiers perfectly carried out the order of the commander, and no one would disobey it.
In order to make the soldiers' words convincing, the soldiers leading the team must have at least the strength of the fourth-order peak, and are equipped with various arms, except for the lack of flying units.
If those gathering places knew that such a powerful and frenzied team was going to them, they would probably have been scared to pee.
The team was sent out, and it didn't take long for Su Chen to receive a message from Tanya: "Commander, the radar has found a large number of mutant beasts approaching the base. Are you going to attack?"
Su Chen's eyes lit up, he is short of a lot of food now, isn't this coming?
"Attack with all the staff, keep all the meat... the mutant beasts, remember not to smash the corpses."
"Commander, almost all of our soldiers have been sent out. Including the soldiers just sent out by the commander, the total number of soldiers currently staying in the base is less than 100."
Su Chen: "???"
Su Chen didn't believe in evil. After a closer look, there were really less than a hundred people.
Among the one hundred people, almost all were left-behind soldiers. They were mainly to defend the safety of the base, and they were assigned to various places in the base. Su Chen felt very nervous just relying on these soldiers to defend the base.
"Fortunately, I specially left two radiation engineers behind. I didn't expect them to come in handy." The corner of Su Chen's lips twitched.
This is one of his favorite units. A large needle creates an almost unsolvable area. Unless someone can kill the radiation sapper from a distance, the radiation sapper is almost invincible.
Even if he sent some soldiers out, he still left the radiation engineers behind.
"Hey, mutant beasts, you are finished."
Just when Su Chen was excited, a voice sounded: "Commander, don't you want to keep these foods, the radiation power of the radiation engineers will make these foods inedible."
