#528 - Chapter 528: A celebration banquet that affected the entire base 6

"Let the feast begin!"

After ensuring the food and various beverages were ready, Qin Jin dove straight into the main event without a single introductory remark!

All the team members had been eagerly anticipating a speech, but to their surprise, their leader completely disregarded convention and jumped straight to the climax!

"Well, I won't stand on ceremony! The hungry worms in my belly have been gnawing at me for ages!"

"I'm starting too!!! Holy crap! We actually have seafood today! I'm going crazy!! I dreamt about eating prawns just a few days ago! And now it's really happening! Am I still dreaming?!"

No one paid attention to whether this team member was dreaming or not; everyone had already thrown caution to the wind and started devouring the food!

There was no need to portion it out; there was basically enough food here today for everyone!

In addition to the five dishes for the core members, a plate of garlic prawns had been added!

And another pot of braised pork knuckle!!

Big dishes, hard-hitting dishes!!!

Li Shenglin disregarded his image, grabbed a huge pork knuckle, and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously!

A wave of soft, glutinous, fragrant, and slightly sweet deliciousness washed over him!

Although it was frozen meat from the base's storage, it had been cooked with skill by a special-grade chef, still producing a flavor that rivaled that of fresh ingredients!

"So delicious!! I—it's so damn good!"

Many team members were so happy they almost cried.

They knew there would be a decent dinner tonight, but they never expected this level of cuisine!

The Green Source leader was too generous!

Everyone cast aside their restraints, stuffing food into their mouths and chewing with all their might, many with greasy mouths, no one caring about their appearance anymore.

There were also some fried rice, fried noodles, and fried vermicelli, along with some white rice, almost satisfying everyone's appetite, allowing them to choose whatever they wanted to eat.

These were all very ordinary foods, but they seemed extremely precious in the post-apocalyptic world.

This meal was beyond the expectations of the transport team members.

Of course.

Everyone also didn't forget that there were various iced drinks available for consumption.

Today, Qin Jin had people bring over a full twenty cases of beer, and more than a dozen cases of various beverages.

Based on the number of people here, each person could get an average of 4-5 bottles, which wasn't a small amount.

Qin Jin silently watched them eat dinner.

These people could be said to be the cornerstone of his future rise. The team members sent to perform the transport mission this time were almost all carefully selected, with very clean backgrounds.

None of them had complained about the base's unfairness like other people, or spread negative energy by grumbling about this and that.

They were all people who loved life, had family or friends at the base, and would go to great lengths for their own people.

For example, Li Shenglin and Liang Defa were among the earliest batch of foreign survivors who arrived at the base after receiving leaflets.

Their deeds had long been passed on to Qin Jin's ears.

When surviving in the wild, they always faced difficulties themselves, standing in front of their teammates. For those companions and friends, they were even willing to give up the temptation of obtaining Level 3 status and entering the sub-base early.

Tell me, aren't these people worthy of admiration?

Qin Jin asked himself if he could definitely not do it.

But that didn't stop him from admiring these people, especially when they could become his companions.

Or like Lin Jiafu, a half-grown child who didn't sink after experiencing hardship, and actively requested to join the more dangerous external cooperation force, in order to protect her relatives and the benefactor who saved her, wasn't that also worthy of becoming his partner?

There were many more.

Almost all of the external cooperation team members in this transport team were those with good reputations, no previous bad records, and who were genuinely loyal to the base.

Qin Jin was willing to call them true Green Source people.

Perhaps he would think it was a bit excessive to put this meal on other people, but he felt it was worth it for these people!

Let them eat their fill!

Let them know that after fighting for the base, he, as their leader, would not mistreat them!

Mealtime always passed quickly.

The seven dishes provided were devoured by them in no time, with nearly half of them disappearing into their stomachs. The noodles and rice were not finished yet, and the team members could still continue to eat them in a cramming style.

Qin Jin said he would let them eat to their heart's content, and he would definitely make it happen.

People would come in from outside from time to time to replenish the food.

Of course, this didn't mean they could waste it. It was good to eat until they were full and stuffed, but there was no need to waste it.

After eating for nearly twenty minutes, almost everyone present had eaten their bellies round and full, and they were a little struggling to even stand up before they stopped.

Seeing that everyone had finally eaten almost enough, Qin Jin smiled and stood up, beginning the speech he should give tonight.

He wanted everyone to eat their fill and enjoy themselves before talking about anything else.

"Everyone should have eaten their fill today, right? If you join our base and do things sincerely, we will definitely remember your efforts!"

"Perhaps everyone is still a Level 3 member today, but in the future, you may be a Level 4 or Level 5 member!"

"Green Source is continuing to develop! Our footsteps will not stop! One day, we will create a true paradise! So that everyone here can eat their fill and sleep soundly!"

"Everyone! I raise this glass to your contributions to the base, and also to a better tomorrow for us!"

Qin Jin raised a glass filled with white wine, gestured vaguely towards the whole room, then put it to his lips and drank it all in one gulp!

Cheers!

The people present were not slow either, and they all raised their beer and drinks to this Green Source leader for a toast!

Being here.

At this moment, they felt an aura of pride enveloping their bodies.

This was the powerful spiritual power emitted by the same kind of people.

At this moment.

Almost all of the people, regardless of how much they had previously approved of the base, had maximized their approval!

Following this kind of leader, what else could be unacceptable?

Qin Jin didn't continue to speak, and after a brief speech, he let everyone drink again.

The air conditioning was on in the conference room, beer was being drunk, and laughter was mixed with joyful tears.

Tonight was destined to be an unforgettable banquet.

——————————

"Hu—"

Qin Jin left the conference room; he had done what he needed to do here.

The rest was to let these soldiers enjoy the happy ending.

He had other things to do.

After leaving the conference room, he quickly walked towards the sub-base.

He was here to find someone.

Yan Hong!

The leader of this Red Cloud base was still being held at their headquarters.

Now that the mission had been completed today, it was time to send her back.

He would not forget the 1 ton of grain he had promised her, and he would also prepare some materials to resist the drought for the Red Cloud base.

Since the Red Cloud base depended on Green Source for survival, then it should also be a part of the base, so why not give them a share of the banquet benefits tonight!

He would send Yan Hong back to Shenzhen tonight!
