#502 - Chapter 502 Miss
Zhao Ling wants to save the children of the survivors outside the Green Zone?
Faced with this woman's sudden request, Qin Jin was slightly surprised.
He thought Zhao Ling was going to intercede for her brother, who had been demoted these past few days.
Looking at the woman bowing in front of him, not getting up, and still waiting for his reply, Qin Jin smiled slightly.
"Get up and talk."
"I've already made arrangements for this matter, so you don't need to worry too much."
??
Zhao Ling suddenly raised her head, looking at the man in front of her in astonishment.
He's already made arrangements?
"Don't look at me like that. Do you all see me as such a heartless and ruthless villain?"
Qin Jin's smile deepened.
This...
Zhao Ling didn't know how to answer her boss's words for a moment.
Because in everyone's eyes, Qin Jin had always seemed relatively rational, even ruthless...
From repeatedly refusing to accept survivors who came to join them, and leading teams to wipe out any enemies who might pose a threat, leaving no one alive, he definitely couldn't be called a good person...
"Since you've already made arrangements, Boss, then I won't offer any suggestions. I know you must have your own plans."
Zhao Ling didn't dwell on what arrangements this man might have. Judging from the results of his past actions, Qin Jin really hadn't made any mistakes.
It's best to trust him.
"Leave it to me. The development of the base can't be separated from humans. Although we can't absorb all the survivors outside the Green Zone, the next generation is still very important."
"I'll take care of it in the next few days."
Qin Jin gave Zhao Ling a look, signaling her to rest assured.
"Also."
Changing the subject, his tone became serious, and he said to Zhao Ling in a slightly formal manner:
"Don't do that in front of others next time!"
"You'll expose yourself."
Only then did Zhao Ling lower her head to look at the fullness of her chest. Indeed, a button had popped open when she bent over earlier...
Recently, the weather had been hot, and she often wore professional attire: a pencil skirt + a women's short-sleeved shirt. With her fullness, the shirt was indicating that it couldn't hold on any longer.
Reaching out to tug at her clothes to hide the contents, she then smiled and looked at the boss over there.
Ahem...
"Go back to work if there's nothing else. Pay attention to sun protection recently. The sunlight that came out today is starting to feel wrong. The situation may become more and more serious later. Check how much medicine we have in the base warehouse for treating heatstroke, sunburn, and heatstroke."
"If there are any that are about to expire and lose their effectiveness, you can take some out for the people in the Green Zone to use."
Qin Jin pretended to turn his head to sort out work materials, no longer staring at the woman in front of him.
He was afraid that the fire he had finally suppressed would rise again.
The base hasn't been successfully built yet, what are you thinking about romance!
Get out.
Distractions.
Seeing Qin Jin starting to check the materials, looking serious and engrossed, Zhao Ling pursed her lips and smiled, gently picking up the dessert dish that had been eaten clean and walking towards the door.
When she reached the doorway, she seemed to remember something and said to the inside:
"Boss, this is your thing, no one else can see it."
After saying that, she smiled and left.
"......"
Qin Jin looked up at the closed door speechlessly, shaking his head with a smile.
"This woman..."
Soon.
He stopped thinking about these miscellaneous things and officially devoted himself to the upcoming drought countermeasures.
He hadn't lied to Zhao Ling just now. He did have some plans for the survivors on the periphery.
Originally, in his considerations, these people were to be left to fend for themselves as much as possible, reducing the number of people surrounding the Green Zone, so that the smell of meat wouldn't be so strong as to attract zombies from afar to slowly approach Mentang Town.
But recently, he had found super rice.
And taken down the Red Cloud Base, as well as the Yangcheng branch further away, and most importantly, he was about to retrieve thousands of tons of grain.
This forced him to make adjustments to the base's development.
Originally, according to normal planning, without enough food support, the Green Zone simply couldn't afford to support so many survivors for a long time.
Let alone remotely controlling the Red Cloud and Yangcheng branches, even maintaining the current headquarters + oil base + coal shelter seemed a bit difficult.
Every human who relied on the Green Zone's big tree had to open their mouths to eat.
Even if they weren't given work, they needed to open up material exchanges, otherwise, if only residential areas were opened up for them to live in, such a large population gathered here wouldn't be able to find enough food from the outside world.
Sooner or later, chaos would break out.
This was why he was certain that many large forces outside would eventually disintegrate.
Those forces might now use various methods to absorb thousands of survivors to gather together, but in the end, they would collapse due to hunger and various conflicts.
He didn't want the Green Zone to take that path either.
"So, now that the food problem has been alleviated, we can try to speed up the deployment of flags in other cities."
He held a ballpoint pen, twirling it skillfully between his fingers, but his thoughts flew out of Guangyuan City, circling over the entire map of Guangnan Province.
This land contains countless resources and talents.
Perhaps the vast majority died after the disaster, but more or less there would still be some survivors with professional skills left behind.
And the important information in those cities is the crystallization of human civilization.
"Then let's start with these survivors outside the Green Zone."
He stopped twirling the pen and scribbled on the white paper on the table.
He had to calculate the costs, as well as the long-term food needed after absorbing people, and the corresponding benefit ratio, and the possible risk factor.
Studying makes people handsome.
This is true.
No one could see that at this moment, he was extremely charming when focused and serious.
******
Time returned to the morning.
The perspective came to Li's team.
After driving out of Mentang Town, they found a highway intersection and directly chose to rush north as quickly as possible.
An hour later, they left the boundary of Guangyuan City and entered another city.
"Captain! The sunlight outside is not right today, it's very scorching!"
Just as the sun rose and shone obliquely into the moving car, Liu Qing screamed and quickly retracted his left arm, which had been exposed to the sun near the window.
Soon, the Green Zone combat troops discovered the abnormality outside.
The convoy stopped to rest briefly, and the team members took out sunglasses, sunscreen sleeves, and applied sunscreen, and then started the car again to go to Xiang Province.
They had made various preparations last night. Of course, Qin Jin would not let them miss the possibility of encountering a drought.
Various corresponding materials were extremely complete.
Inside a heavy truck, Li Shenglin and Brother Liang were sitting in the same car, driving carefully to keep up with the convoy.
They were one of the members of this trip to pull back food.
"Old Li, why does your face look so bad? Don't worry, the base is well prepared and very strong. There should be no problem with our trip this time."
Brother Liang was driving, glanced at Li Shenglin's worried face, and couldn't help but comfort him.
They had joined the foreign-assisted combat troops of the sub-base for a while, and they had become accustomed to the life here, and they also knew part of the strength of the Green Zone.
So, seeing Li Shenglin's expression, he thought he was worried about this trip.
"No, I was thinking about something else, it's nothing, you drive carefully, change me to drive at noon."
Brother Li shook his head, did not explain, turned his head and looked at the scenery outside in a daze.
The car returned to silence, with only the whirring of the air conditioner and the engine sound of the heavy truck.
Looking at the hot sun outside and the desolate atmosphere, Li Shenglin's heart was worried:
The weather outside is so harsh.
Is Li Cai in Shanshi okay?
