Chapter 487 Etiquette (Adding Sugar to the Water for the Leader of the Silver Alliance)
The next day, the small conference room in the center of the underground gathering area.
An old man wearing a blue robe sat on the seat of the council, and everyone was quietly listening to Jialan's report.
Jia Lan probably reported all the things about the outsider, as well as the preliminary conversation content, to the elders without missing a word.
"What do you think?"
Kan (Jalan's grandfather) asked indifferently.
"From the current point of view, these outsiders are quite disciplined. They are much better than the group of people who came before, but who can guarantee whether they have other thoughts."
"That's right, you can't be careless. But if they are willing to keep so disciplined, it is not impossible to accept them."
"Makes sense."
Kan raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.
"I've heard your opinions, so let's not talk about them. Jialan, how is your exploration going this time?"
Jia Lan reported with a dignified expression: "The situation is very pessimistic. We went up from the backup passage, and we bumped into a large number of security guards not long after. It can be seen that the situation of artificial intelligence Hei Zhou should be getting more and more serious, and we are frantically eliminating Aliens, and the trajectory of activities has become chaotic, and now it has become very dangerous.”
Hearing Jia Lan's words, the elders present all fell silent, and everyone's expressions were not very good-looking.
Kane nodded.
"You're doing well, but there's one more thing you need to do."
"You say."
Jia Lan replied respectfully.
"The people below report that we don't have much food in stock. Coupled with the addition of many outsiders, the food gap becomes even more acute. You take some people to the abandoned factory to get some back."
Kann said lightly.
At this time, an old man next to him frowned and said, "Clan Chief Gaen, those outsiders, let them find food by themselves, why should we prepare food for them?"
Gain stood up slowly, surveyed everyone present with his cloudy eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Since we have temporarily confirmed that the other party has no hostility, and keeping them here is tantamount to admitting that they are guests. Shouldn't we, as hosts, entertain guests when they come? When did our Hongji Empire become so lacking in demeanor and etiquette? .”
Hearing what Gann said, many elder councilors lowered their heads.
"Okay, that's the decision."
Kane nailed things down.
On the other side, in the temporary camp, Su Mo stretched and got up from the ground with a sigh of relief.
Last night was his best night of rest in recent times.
But before Su Mo stretched himself, Lin Ming came over.
"you're awake."
"Well, what's the matter, is there something?"
Su Mo looked at Lin Ming in doubt. I don't know why, every time he looks at Lin Ming, he always has a feeling of affinity.
Lin Ming said to Su Mo in a low voice: "I did the calculation just now, and we don't have many nutrition bars left. Can you negotiate with Jia Lan and give us some supplies, even if you exchange them with something."
"It's a bit difficult to estimate. You also saw yesterday that those children are all skinny. It's obvious that they can't keep up with their nutrition. And I think they still give priority to children, so their food here should also be very tight. "
When Su Mo heard Lin Ming mention this matter, his head hurt.
"Then what to do, although we are safe now, it is impossible to go out and look for food."
Lin Ming also felt that it was very difficult, and he actually noticed what Su Mo said. As long as there is another way, he will not take the initiative to propose it.
"Well, let me try to negotiate with Jialan."
Su Mo also understood that Lin Ming must have no choice.
So Su Mo walked to the edge of the temporary camp and said to a patrolling guard, "Hi there, can you pass a message to Jia Lan for me, I have something to ask her."
In fact, these patrolling guards said they were there to maintain safety, and more to monitor Su Mo and the others.
It's just that everyone sees it and doesn't tell it.
And in order to facilitate communication, they all have translation patches on their necks.
"Master Jia Lan has explained that you are free to move around, you can find her yourself, she should be in the assembly area over there now."
The patrolling guard said to Su Mo in a calm tone.
"Thanks."
Su Mo quickly thanked him.
Then Su Mo ran towards the direction pointed by the guard.
Since the place is not big, Su Mo soon came to the assembly area.
I saw that Jialan assembled a hundred elite soldiers, and everyone was checking their weapons, as if they were preparing for a mission.
"Jalan."
Su Mo shouted.
Jia Lan turned her head to look over, and was a little surprised to see that it was Su Mo who called her.
"whats the matter."
"It's a little thing, that, where are you going?"
Su Mo was also a little embarrassed to open his mouth, so he planned to exchange some pleasantries first.
Jia Lan didn't intend to hide it from Su Mo, and explained very straightforwardly: "The base is short of food, and I plan to entertain you, so I plan to go out and collect some back."
"Isn't it dangerous outside now?"
Su Mo said subconsciously.
"It's impossible not to go out because of danger."
Jialan was silent for a few seconds and said.
"Why don't we come to help too, I'm not bragging, our fighting skills are also top-notch, everyone is elite and will definitely not hold back."
Su Mo volunteered.
Hearing Su Mo's words, other team members also looked at Jialan.
For the strength of Su Mo and others, they still recognize it. After all, there have been firefights before, which is indeed not bad.
The most important point is that the equipment equipped on these people is also quite good. Now they are indeed a bit understaffed, and they go out to work all year round, and the disability rate in their prime is very high.
It would be great to have helpers, but no matter how much they wanted helpers, none of the team members said anything, they just looked at Jialan silently.
"OK."
Galan finally agreed.
"You wait, I'm going to gather the manpower."
Seeing that Jia Lan agreed, Su Mo turned and ran back.
There is nothing like fighting side by side to form a friendship, not to mention that the other party has to go out to find food for them.
I have to help anyway.
Soon Su Mo ran back to the temporary camp.
Lin Ming immediately went up to meet him.
"How about it?"
"I just went to find Jialan, and it turned out that they were preparing to go out to collect food in order to prepare food for us. So I took the initiative to invite Ying to participate, what do you think?"
Su Mo briefly explained the matter.
Hearing Su Mo's words, Lin Ming and the others were also taken aback. Although they had already guessed that Jia Lan and the others were in short supply of food, they did not expect such a shortage, and they planned to find food for them.
"What is there to say, you must participate!"
