Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV

Chapter 550 Special Operations

"You're too kind, Chief. It's an honor for us that you invited us."

As soon as Li Kunlin finished speaking, Zhao Yang immediately started flattering him.

Before the apocalypse, Li Kunlin was Zhao Yang's immediate superior.

He was extremely obsequious and respectful towards Li Kunlin.

Not to mention that after being attacked by Su Chen, the Steel Legion was severely weakened and its strength was greatly diminished.

Zhao Yang can only get help from the Watchers Alliance if he clings to Li Kunlin's coattails when Su Chen or other monsters attack.

The leaders of the other factions also nodded in agreement.

Su Chen glanced around and saw one or two people who didn't say anything.

It seems they are in a similar situation to me; they probably don't like the Watchmen either.

They were only forced to participate because they were wary of the power of the Watchers.

"I won't go into any more pleasantries."

"The main reason I've invited everyone here today is to carry out a task."

Li Kunlin paused, his expression turning somewhat serious.

"As everyone knows, this survivor shelter houses 100,000 people."

"Given the current situation, it is simply impossible to resume large-scale production."

"The amount of supplies consumed daily in the shelter is staggering!"

"No matter how abundant the base's supplies are, they cannot be used indefinitely."

"At the current rate, we will face the risk of shortages in at most three months!"

Upon hearing this, the group of leaders exchanged bewildered glances.

Does Li Kunlin mean that he wants them to provide supplies?

But even if all the resources from all the factions present were combined, it probably wouldn't be enough for 100,000 people for a week.

Su Chen's storage space contained a massive amount of supplies.

Let alone 100,000 people, even a million people would be enough for more than a year!

But Su Chen must have had nothing better to do than take out the supplies.

Moreover, he felt that Li Kunlin probably didn't want them to provide supplies.

Otherwise, there would be absolutely no need to go to such great lengths to invite them all!

"You're overthinking it. I don't want you to provide supplies."

Li Kunlin saw what everyone was thinking, smiled, and explained,

"I hope you can help the Watchers obtain supplies."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then became puzzled again.

Acquiring supplies isn't dangerous, so why gather all of them together?

"Zhang Man, please explain the situation to everyone."

Li Kunlin nodded slightly to his subordinates behind him.

Zhang Man walked to the electronic equipment next to him and started operating it.

In no time, the electronic screen inside lit up, displaying a map of Rain City.

"We have searched all the locations in the provincial capital that have stockpiled large quantities of supplies."

"What's left is either already gone, or the amount of supplies is too small to support the needs of the shelter."

Zhao Man pointed to the map and introduced it to everyone.

"But there is a large grain storage warehouse 400 kilometers away."

"According to records, there are more than 50 tons of grain stored there, enough to feed more than two million people for a year!"

To stabilize prices and prepare for potential natural disasters and wars, the government built grain reserve warehouses throughout China.

These warehouses often store large quantities of grain, which are rotated every few years.

If you could occupy such a granary, you could say you'd never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!

"But the problem is... that granary is more than 400 kilometers away from Rain City. How are we going to transport so much grain back?"

Gao Fei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"Our plan is to organize a large transport convoy to bring the food back from there."

Zhao Man explained,

"The purpose of inviting you here is to ask you to help protect the transport convoy!"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned slightly.

They traveled from their respective cities to Rain City, encountering attacks from monsters along the way.

For example, Su Chen and Gao Fei are the furthest apart.

They encountered monsters seven or eight times along the way.

Among them are swarms of mantises and the Mantis King, such powerful monsters!

This trip started from Yucheng and went to that grain depot, which is more than 400 kilometers away!

In addition, to transport enough food for all the people in Rain City, it would take at least a hundred trucks.

Such a large convoy is far too ostentatious.

This operation will definitely attract the attention of the monsters, thus leading to an attack!

After Zhao Man explained the situation, the meeting room became unusually quiet, as if you could hear a pin drop.

No one dared to speak rashly.

The grain transport operation was quite dangerous.

Why would they sacrifice themselves to help the Watchmen?

With social order now in disarray, the Watchmen's League is merely an official entity in name only!

Li Kunlin coughed lightly and said calmly,

"I know this operation is quite difficult and dangerous."

"But the Watchers League won't let everyone work for nothing."

"As long as you participate in this operation, you can get some food."

"Apart from that, you can discuss other conditions with your respective contacts."

"I wonder what you guys think?"

After he finished speaking, no one said a word.

Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment before cautiously speaking.

"Chief, this matter is of great importance, and we are all struggling to make a decision in a short time."

"We hope the leader can give us more time to consider this carefully."

"Okay, then I'll give you three days. I hope you'll think it over carefully."

Li Kunlin's eyes shone brightly as he surveyed the crowd present.

"If anyone is truly unwilling, I, Li Kunlin, will not force them!"

"But I hope everyone will lend a helping hand for the sake of the 100,000 people of Rain City!"

He struggled to his feet, supported by his wheelchair, and bowed deeply to everyone!

Everyone stood up and returned his greeting.

After Zhao Man explained the details to everyone, Li Kunlin adjourned the meeting.

Just as Su Chen left the conference room, Luo Xiaotian called him back.

"Boss Su, if you have time, shall we chat now?"

Luo Xiaotian looked at him inquiringly.

"no problem!"

Su Chen nodded.

Luo Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief and then gestured for Su Chen to come with him.

Su Chen glanced at Xiang Mengmeng, who was always by Tong Fei's side.

"Commander, are you coming with us too?"

"So what? I'm a member of the Watchers League too."

Xiang Mengmeng curled her lip and said dismissively.

"That's fine."

Su Chen shrugged and followed behind Luo Xiaotian.

They soon arrived at a small conference room.

After they were seated, Luo Xiaotian couldn't wait to ask,

"Boss Su, are you willing to participate in this operation?"
