End of the World Cycle

"One bottle of supernatural supplement is equivalent to one month's salary of one person? And we also need to provide food and accommodation?" After reading the contract carefully, Guan Qi looked at the woman with a gentle face in surprise and asked.

"Of course, if Captain Guan feels that it is not cost-effective, we still have two other options." Zhou Lili stood up, turned to page 7 of the proposal, and began to explain gently.

"Of course, we can also buy residents from you for 100 kilograms of food. Of course, this is only the price for ordinary people. For those with special abilities, it will be doubled, 200 kilograms of food. However, such residents will not receive resident cards when they move into the Wuliang Base. The base will arrange food, lodging and jobs for them. If you choose this transaction method, you need to explain the specific situation to the residents. We will deduct a portion of the deposit food, and we will settle the bill with you after the residents have served for six months."

"Is your method different from human trafficking?"

"Don't be confused, Base Captain Guan. I'm just buying labor from you. It's all for the base construction." Zhou Lili smiled gently, but every word he said was so careful that people couldn't find any loopholes.

"What about the third one?" Guan Qi continued to flip to the back.

"The third option, which I think is the best way, is for Anyang Base to form an alliance with us and dispatch labor to our mines to work, earn points, and share our base's exchange mall. You can exchange for the items you need, such as supernatural supplements."

"Can I see the specific redemption points amount in your mall? How many points are there for labor service per month?"

"Yes, I will have our technicians show it to you later. Our labor is not calculated by time, but by weight. Our mine is mainly for jade mining, and we have professional inspectors. One kilogram of jade is one point. The more jade, the more points. Of course, if your base has any gold, jade, diamonds, etc., you can also exchange them for points at our base. We will accept them."

Xie Qin was stunned when she heard this. One kilogram of jade equals one point. This was too much. Xie Qin's mouth twitched with embarrassment. But Zhou Lili remained calm and gentle.

The meeting room suddenly became quiet, and Zhou Lili spoke at the right time.

"We are not in a hurry to leave. Base Commander Guan can think about it for a day and give me an answer before we set off tomorrow morning. But I am sure that there is no place in Xia Country that has such a useful superpower supplement. It's just that we have a limited number. If Anyang Base cannot make up its mind, we have to hurry to the next base."

"To be honest, we are very interested in this superpower supplement. However, this kind of transaction is too much for our base. With the natural disasters that have occurred one after another, our base is still under construction and we are in need of manpower. You should have heard that we are not short of food."

"Hey, Captain Guan, don't be in a hurry. Take your time to think about it. But there is one thing, Captain Guan, you should understand. The world of the future must be a world of people with super powers." Zhou Lili was very close to Guan Qi. The woman's soft tone was very pleasant to the ears, as soft as cotton, making it impossible to find a breakthrough point to bargain.

In addition, Zhou Lili returned to his seat after saying this, and slowly put away the proposal on the table. The people at the Anyang base looked at Zhou Lili and Guo Dongkang, who looked indifferent, and winked at each other. Then Guan Qi spoke.

"Okay, I will give Deputy Base Commander Zhou a reply before tomorrow. There are vacancies in the base. Why don't you stay here for one night, Base Commander Guo?"

"I won't bother you anymore. We have a motorhome fleet and we are used to living there. It's just at the highway intersection one kilometer outside your base."

"In that case, let's meet tomorrow morning after we have discussed it."

"great, see you tomorrow."

Guan Qi escorted Guo Dongkang and the other two out of the base, and Guan Ci followed them. His eyes were always on Xie Qin, intentionally or unintentionally. It was hard to tell what he was thinking, but the most common feeling was suspicion, because all this was too coincidental.

But when Xie Qin trotted up to him, waved at him and said

"Bye, Brother Guan Ci." His eyes were clear and his pink and white face was particularly delicate. He didn't doubt at all that Xie Qin would take away the food overnight.

Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Guan Qi just said lightly.

"The people from the unscrupulous base have come with bad intentions."

When we arrived at the gate of Anyang base, there were not many people left. There were only about 20 people scattered around, waiting in their respective camps.

When Miao Zhe saw Xie Qin and the others coming out, he trotted over and followed Xie Qin without saying anything. The four of them got into Xie Qin's heavy truck.

Xie Qin spoke only after the car door closed.

"What's the situation with the people outside?"

"They are all technical talents, and the base can use them. Sister Zhou said to go back with her. The others were sent to the mines."

"Have you sorted out the food and accommodation at the mine?" Xie Qin looked up and asked Guo Dongkang.

"Everything has been solved. We have transported mobile houses and food is delivered once a week. Although the conditions are not as good as those in the base, it is basically no problem."

"I see there are children among them. Were they all sent to the mines?"

"Of course not. The children and those over 55 years old were sent back to the base. After all, this group of people were not incorporated into the base system, so we had to use various means to keep them. So every household has more or less left one person in the base." Zhou Lili said with a smile.

"Hold the emperor to command the princes."

"That's right. When the mines are almost fully mined, we'll let them go to the base. After they experience the difference, we'll incorporate them into the system. This way, we can make the best use of them and ensure an average level of loyalty."

"By the way, what is this supernatural supplement you took out just now?"

"It's diluted with a capsule. One second-level capsule is diluted with one thousand milliliters of water. This thing has a good short-term effect and is very suitable for negotiation."

"What about later?"

"If they agree to cooperate, we will sell a 1:100 dilution in our store, which is % more profitable than our base's internal store. As long as they take a large amount of the drug, a large number of them can be upgraded to the third level."

"What about those above level three?"

"The third-level capsule is diluted to 1:10. I plan to get rich with this. I want to make a fortune before the first base's supernatural power supplement liquid is sold to the outside world. After all, rare things are valuable." Zhou Lili said with a smile.

Xie Qin never knew who he learned this unscrupulous businessman attribute from, but now the truth is out. After so many years of living together day and night, his mentality and personality had long been influenced by Zhou Lili.

"Miao Zhe, is the system ready?" Zhou Lili asked

"Of course," Miao Zhe said, and put the laptop on the table for Xie Qin to see.

Xie Qin took a look and found that it was exactly the same as the mall system in his base, except that the prices were raised by 30-50%. Some machinery, medicines, and fresh fruit and vegetable fast food lunch boxes were not on the shelves, but the others were on the shelves.

"This is the sub-board system. According to Sister Zhou, I removed some hard-to-obtain items from the shelves and only put on the shelves daily necessities, general merchandise, and third-level supernatural supplements. As long as there is a base willing to cooperate, we will install the signal tower you gave them, and they can redeem it directly. However, we still need to solve the delivery problem. Or we can divide a base in each base as our supermarket and replenish the goods every once in a while."

"Let's try it first, if Anyang Base agrees."

"They won't disagree." Zhou Lili said affirmatively.

"Indeed, the Anyang base is already saturated. The population is a pressure for them. Although they have achieved a virtuous cycle of food, the number is simply not enough, so they need food from Qingyang City so much. In addition, although they have a high proportion of psychics, their combat effectiveness is very low. They are basically all first-level psychics. All the crystal cores they hunted went into the pockets of the upper class."

“So they really need this supplement.”

"Yes." Zhou Lili said with a half-smile, but she actually had a more inhumane idea in her mind. But she didn't want to say it directly before implementing it. After all, after a long time of contact, she found that Guo Dongkang was too conscientious. Maybe because he was a soldier, he didn't like to take advantage of others or take advantage of others.

But Zhou Lili is different. If conditions permit, she will definitely squeeze the other party in the negotiation into a corner so that they can no longer move, suppress the other party's bottom line, and peel off a layer of skin before she feels that such an exchange is fair.

After all, in the end times, whoever has the ability is the boss, and whoever has the power has the final say.

The four of them, along with Xu Nuo, ate something in the car. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. A bus arrived at the gate of Anyang Base. Xie Qin had seen the driver before. He was one of Xu Kai's apprentices. The person sitting in the passenger seat was Xu Yangyang.

Xu Yangyang saw Xie Qin's words and quickly got off the bus. When she got here, she knocked on the door of the RV. Xu Nuo opened the door and saw that it was Xu Yangyang, and asked in confusion.

"How did you come?"

"The superpowers in the base are all busy. I am here to protect Brother Sheng and pick him up. Where's the boss? Where's the boss?"

"Here it is." Xie Qin said with a chuckle.

The little girl walked around Xu Nuo and trotted to Xie Qin's side. When she was almost there, Xie Qin couldn't help but take a step back. It was not for anything else, but it had only been a short time! This little girl was actually as tall as her!!!

Xie Qin quickly sat down and took a deep breath, hoping that no one would notice.

"Boss, Boss! I missed you so much!"

"Ha, ha, ha. Ha, me, me too."

"Boss, you don't know, when I came here, Shui Liqing wanted to follow me, but he was controlled by his brother and went back. His head was shouting at me, but his body couldn't help but walk back. It made me laugh to death."

As Xu Yangyang described, Xie Qin also had a sense of the picture, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously. When talking about these two brothers, Xie Qin also missed them a little. Looking at Miao Zhe who seemed a little ordinary, and Xu Nuo who was still a child, this journey was really not very pleasant. It seems that he will have to take them with him next time he goes out.

"And this, Boss. Doctor Lan asked me to bring it to you." Xu Yangyang took out a small box of something similar to ointment from the small bag on her side and handed it to Xie Qin.

"what is this?"

"The people at the research institute used the water you gave them to make an ointment. Doctor Lan and Aunt Liu injected healing powers into it, and it became this thing. Many people have used it. If you are injured or have a wound, apply this and it will heal immediately."

"So amazing."

"Yes! I'm afraid of the pain, otherwise I would try it and show it to you." Xu Yangyang said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll accept it."

In just a few minutes, the remaining thirty or so people at the base gate all got on the bus. Xu Yangyang reluctantly left the RV and got on the passenger seat of the bus and went back.

After everyone left, the gate of the Anyang base was cleared in an instant. Miao Zhe drove the RV to a relatively wide highway one kilometer away. Xie Qin released another RV, one for himself and Zhou Lili, and one for the other three men.

It was a very peaceful night, with few zombies wandering around, and everyone slept very well. However, it was a different story for the people at the Anyang base.

The leaders of the two major groups gathered in the conference room. They discussed the three plans for an entire afternoon and an evening. They calculated countless possibilities, and considered despicable means such as kidnapping threats. However, the ability of the fourth-level psychic was there, and Guo Dongkang and the others, except Xie Qin, seemed to be very alert. They didn't think it would succeed.

Later, some even proposed to directly use force to attack the Wuliang Base. After all, they had many superpowers, so it shouldn't be a problem to take down a small base. But when they thought that the Wuliang Base was far away from here, their superpowers might not listen to them and start a war, so they gave up.

Finally, it was Guan Ci who proposed an idea, which was that they all accepted the three options.

Ten thousand people were assigned to carry out experiments, four thousand ordinary people were sent to work as laborers in exchange for supplements, three thousand ordinary first-level psychics were exchanged for food and sold to the Wuliang Base, and another three thousand ordinary people moved in as an alliance.

"Is this feasible?" Guan Qi hesitated for a moment. Then Guan Ci said again.

"Didn't the woman surnamed Zhou make it clear that it's not possible? If they say it's not possible, we can discuss it again."

"Okay! Everyone, go down and arrange for these 10,000 people to leave. Once these 10,000 people leave, the base will be more relaxed. After that, we will calculate the most appropriate plan based on the revenue situation to maximize the benefits."

"Okay, base commander." Several people responded to Guan Qi's statement in unison.

Guan Qi's wife Feng Yinyin spoke again.

"The ideal resident capacity of our base is 50,000 people. We will make plans based on this data in the future."

"Understood. Let's disperse for now. We will decide the details after talking to the people from the Wuliang Base tomorrow."

In fact, after this meeting, Feng Yinyin really wanted to clear out 50,000 people directly. After all, she was in charge of the logistics of the entire base, and she knew very well how much food the base needed for daily operations. Keeping these people would be a burden, and it was not easy to find someone willing to take people away and provide food, so she really wanted to cooperate directly.

However, all the people at this table are businessmen. They ignore the current situation and only think about how big the future benefits will be. They are afraid that they will suffer losses in this doomsday.
