Chapter 130 Food Crisis

The strong afternoon sun shines from the sky onto the streets of Fucheng. A group of new recruits who have joined the Apocalypse War Department are constantly advancing or retreating under the scorching sun above their heads. The first thing they have to do now is to learn to follow orders and prohibitions, and to absolutely obey the orders given by their superiors. Order.

This time, the First Army and the Second Army suffered heavy losses in the battle against the zombie wave. In order to replenish the personnel consumption, Qin Haomin recruited 400 recruits from the survivors in Fucheng to supplement the First Army and the Second Army. .

After recruiting new recruits, the veterans who had participated in the Zombie Tide battle were promoted one after another, and the daily training of the two legions was in full swing.

However, the rapid expansion of military power has also caused new problems in the Fucheng safety zone managed by Tianqi organization.

Originally, the survivors in Fucheng relied on going to the areas to be cleared and collecting supplies in exchange for food. The food revenue and expenditure within Fucheng could still remain relatively balanced.

However, after a large number of relatively young survivors joined the First and Second Legions, the Apocalypse Organization needed to provide enough food to sustain the consumption caused by their high-intensity training. Therefore, the amount of food stored in the Apocalypse Organization's food warehouse is currently declining rapidly.

After An Ying discovered this situation, she quickly summoned all the top leaders of the Tianqi organization to discuss countermeasures.

"There is currently a serious shortage of available food reserves in the organization. If we follow the current consumption rate, our food reserves will be exhausted in half a month. So I think we can send some soldiers to look for food?"

As the Minister of Internal Affairs of Tianqi Organization, An Ying naturally knew about the consumption of food. She pushed a pile of record sheets to the conference table and proposed her solution.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Dongliang, the current consultant of the Ministry of War, immediately waved his hand and said: "The combat effectiveness of these new recruits who have joined the Apocalypse organization has not yet been fully formed. Their current combat effectiveness is not up to that of the Survivor Alliance garrison. Standard, if they are sent on a search mission, it is likely to cause a large number of unnecessary casualties. "

Next to him, Li Chao, who was wrapped like a mummy, barely twitched the muscles on his face: "Currently, in the area within walking distance of Fucheng, almost all usable food has been looted, and the safe zone The number of vehicles that can be mobilized internally is not enough. If a large number of soldiers are to be sent out of the control area of ​​​​Fucheng to search for food, there must be enough vehicles. It is impossible for those soldiers to search for food on foot. Just rely on their little manpower. I can’t carry much food back at all.”

"So is it possible to reduce the food supply for the soldiers? Now each soldier needs to be supplied with one kilogram of staple food every day. Add in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that I am responsible for, and the Ministry of Internal Security that Yang Zonghao is responsible for. The daily internal food consumption of the organization is as high as 600 kilograms. This The consumption is simply too great.”

Facing An Ying's suggestion again, Qin Haomin also raised his head: "If we want to reduce the food supply, we must simultaneously reduce the training volume of the soldiers. No one can be hungry and still have the strength to train. If we do this , then the time for the formation of the first and second armies will be delayed again. If we encounter another zombie wave, what will we do to defend ourselves?"

Han Feng looked at the people at the conference table who were about to get into a quarrel, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his head.

The two tit-for-tat parties at the conference table are actually saying something reasonable. Under the premise that there is no way to reduce food consumption, there is only one way to solve this problem, and that is to expand outward and find new food sources.

Han Feng cleared his throat first, then turned his attention to Qiao Dongliang and asked: "Consultant Qiao, I would like to ask you if you know where there are large grain warehouses around Fucheng?"

The people who were having a heated debate at the conference table all fell silent after hearing Han Feng's voice. They all turned their attention to Qiao Dongliang, who was sitting on the right side of the conference table.

After Qiao Dongliang heard Han Feng's question, he thought for a while, tapped his fingers on the conference table a few times, and then said: "Jiangyou Province has always been a land of plenty, with a large amount of food reserves. However, Fucheng relies on Hongdu City is relatively close, so there is no special grain warehouse in Fucheng. The food supply in Fucheng has always been supplied by the Hongdu National Grain Reserve. "

"Except for the Hongdu National Grain Reserve? With our current strength, it is impossible to go to Hongdu to collect grain." After Han Feng learned that the location of the grain reserve was in Hongdu, he shook his head decisively

Hongdu is still the capital of a province, with a population of more than five million before the end of the world. Although it is not as large as the abnormal population size of Beijing and Magic City, the relative number of people is still very large.

If Apocalypse organizes this small team of several hundred people to march into Hongdu, they probably won't be able to make even a small splash.

Qiao Dongliang also knew that it was unrealistic to go to Hongdu, and sighed slightly: "If we give up these options of Hongdu, the nearest large-scale grain warehouse to us is the National Grain Reserve in Jin County. The scale of grain is second only to the Hongdu National Grain Reserve, with more than 50,000 tons of grain stored in the warehouse all year round.”

"What, there are actually 50,000 tons of grain in that warehouse!"

After hearing from Qiao Dongliang the number of grains stored in the Jin County National Grain Reserve, several people at the conference table exclaimed.

According to the current consumption rate of the Apocalypse Organization, if it can successfully seize the Jin County National Grain Reserve, the Apocalypse Organization will not have to worry about food problems in this life.

Han Feng looked at the slightly excited people at the conference table, shook his head, and poured a basin of cold water on them: "Okay, don't be too happy. Even if the Jin County National Grain Reserve really has 50,000 tons of grain, we can't move all of it back. You know, we only have two large trucks now, with a total load of only 50 tons."

Qiao Dongliang also echoed: "The Survivor Alliance also had plans to go to Jin County to collect food before, but it is not so easy to go to Jin County from the Fucheng Safety Zone. It is nearly 300 kilometers one way, and you will almost certainly encounter a large number of zombies along the way."

But at the end of the meeting, Han Feng decided to go to the Jin County National Grain Reserve to search for food in person.

This time, he did not intend to bring a lot of people to Jin County to search for food. Among the evolvers, only Wang Yingyu would go to Jin County with him, and all other evolvers would stay in Fucheng.

As for ordinary soldiers, 20 soldiers will be selected from the First Corps and the Second Corps to form a search team to go to Jin County with Han Feng to search for food.
