Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

This massacre indeed attracted the attention of the top leaders of the base. They thought that the "Illuminati", which had been dead, would conduct inhumane experiments and killings in secret in such a way.

All the leaders at the high-level meeting of the base frowned. Chen Yanxi sat upright in the third row on the left with a cold brow. The supernatural aura on his body subconsciously made the two senior executives beside him move their seats a little further away.

Base Director Zhang Zhijun sat in the center and presided over the meeting. The first CEO was in the first row on the left, followed by the newly appointed deputy base director in the second row on the left.

In fact, the layout of this meeting is also very particular. On the upper left side are basically the leadership with real power in the military within the base, with the CEO as the faction, and on the right side are the best in all walks of life in the base, representing the core of the powerful. The first position is the chairman of the trade center, who controls 30% of all industries in the base, and the second position is the chairman of a company in charge of currency and external logistics industries. The third one is Shen Lian, who is also a core member of the guard team, but because there is an entire Shen family behind him, and the Shen family has a far-reaching influence in the capital, and he is also an S-level mutant, so he was deliberately arranged in this position, which happens to correspond to Chen Yanxi. In the eyes of outsiders, these two people are not only in opposing factions, but also competitors. For some reason, it gives people a sense of fate.

"Will the upcoming acid rain period affect the water resources in the base?" Zhang Zhijun looked at one of the bald men on the left, who was the engineer in charge of water conservancy projects.

The man seemed to be very nervous in front of the big guys. Usually, as the head of the unit, he was arrogant in front of his subordinates. Others always reported situations in front of him in a servile manner. But this time he was called to attend such a high-level meeting on short notice. The atmosphere at the meeting almost suffocated him, because in addition to the two captains of the top guard team, Chen Yanxi and Shen Lian, there were also the president of the Hunter Association and several other S-level psychics. The powerful psychic pressure they brought made him unconsciously want to kneel down. Fortunately, he managed to hold it back in the end.

The man swallowed hard, slightly suppressing his overly rapid heartbeat, and then reported the situation truthfully: "Reporting to the commander, acid rain has affected some water sources. The water plant has accelerated the filtration of domestic water, but this means that the water source has not been polluted yet. The situation is still under control."

“How long will it take to recover?”

The man frowned and said in embarrassment: "It depends on when the acid rain period ends. If the rain continues, then we can only complete the water filtration system as soon as possible. In addition, the water supply of the base will be a little tight."

At this time, another tall and thin man wearing glasses suddenly spoke up: "Our meteorological bureau has conducted several meteorological tests, and currently predicts that this acid rain period will last until early January."

Zhang Zhijun pointed his finger at the table, looking uneasy. "Mid-January? Then it will last for about half a month." Then he looked at the other man and said, "Chen Chun, send a notice later to change the daily water restriction time to 7am to 6pm, and 7:30pm to the next morning."

"There is only one and a half hours of water use every day. I am afraid that this will cause dissatisfaction among the residents of the base. I am worried that it may lead to large-scale protests later." The bald man said with some embarrassment, thinking of the fact that many people had been calling the unit office frantically because of the water limit issue some time ago, and even called other functional departments.

Base chief Zhang Zhijun sneered, "Protest? Let them protest. One and a half hours of water use per day is enough. If the rainfall reaches 15 per millimeter, it will not be a matter of water restriction. The entire base will face an unprecedented disaster."

The bald man nodded with a sullen look on his face, but did not respond. After all, he could only take a middle position on this matter. If he spoke rashly, he would be criticized.

First CEO Yu Hui suddenly said at this time: "Let's not talk about the problems caused by acid rain. Currently, terrorist attacks are frequent. The activities of the Illuminati have spread from the outer circle to the inner circle, especially the massacre in the civil servant community yesterday. The number of casualties has reached 45. This is an unprecedented bad incident."

At this time, a man sitting on the right side spoke calmly: "Didn't they say that public opinion has been controlled? As long as the mouths of those who know about this matter are shut up, it shouldn't cause too much panic. As for the inner circle villa area and several high-end residential areas, my suggestion is to send more Self-Defense Force members to patrol and perform duty 24 hours a day."

The man who belonged to the CEO's faction opposite the man sneered: "Your calculation is quite shrewd. You have sent all the police to the inner circle. Are you going to ignore the lives of the people in the outer circle? The outer circle has a population of at least 400,000. If the outer circle falls, it will be the turn of the inner circle sooner or later. So I remind you not to always think about profit first. We have to consider the grassroots people when we sit in this position. After all, the base can be built brick by brick by the grassroots labor force."

Most of the leaders of the faction sitting on the left were ordinary people at the grassroots level before the end of the world. Most of them awakened their superpowers early, or demonstrated strong command capabilities at the end of the world, and their ability to judge the situation is better than most people, so they can seize any opportunity at the end of the world.

On the contrary, those powerful people on the right can still enjoy the best treatment even in the end times. After all, they have abundant assets to support them to survive in the end times.

The man's face turned red after being confronted by the other party's words, and he sneered: "It's just the life and death of some inferior people. The most important thing is to retain elite talents. Only those who master core technologies are qualified to be protected. Otherwise, others will only consume the base's resources."

"Mr. Chen, you shouldn't say that. If it gets out, people will say you're anti-social and anti-human. Although it's true that the survival of the fittest is the norm in the apocalypse, we're still a small society after all. If we want to survive for a long time, we still need harmonious development. This is what Zheng Ce said above. If what you said is true, then wouldn't our base become a lawless place like the Wanderer Base with a strong hierarchy?"

Mr. Chen curled his lips. He didn't expect that so many people would oppose his suggestion, so he turned his attention to people from the same faction.

The man was embarrassed by the look, so he smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Mr. Chen is mainly because he values ​​talent. After all, there are many technical talents in the inner circle. If the inner circle happens again like the civil servant community yesterday, it will definitely lead to talent loss. Yesterday, we received many calls from people who asked to be transferred to the third base. Some people also said that if they can't handle this matter well, they will choose to settle somewhere else. At present, our relationship with the Wanderer Base has been very tense. They have been trying to poach all kinds of talents from our base to build the base. If all the talents flow there because of this incident, it will be the biggest loss for us."

The expression on the face of base commander Zhang Zhijun gradually became solemn. In fact, since the terrorist attack occurred in the base, many senior talents have chosen to leave the base and join the wanderer organization or the black market organization. These people are indispensable talents to their original units, and will also play a key role in the future construction of the underground city.

Zhang Zhijun could only turn his attention to Chen Yanxi. Although as the base chief, Zhang Zhijun had the highest functional power here, followed by CEO Yu Hui, but in fact Chen Yanxi had absolute say here. It was just that this man never participated in factional struggles, or had no interest in it at all. It seemed that in this man's eyes there were only missions and hunting.

I thought Chen Yanxi would not make any statement as usual this time. When I was about to take a sip of hot tea, I heard a cold voice that I hadn't heard for a long time saying, "The inner circle can currently increase its manpower by 10%, and the outer circle must increase its manpower by at least 40%. The Self-Defense Force will work in three shifts. Except for those performing special tasks, other personnel must participate in this operation."

"Forty percent?" The veins on Zhang Zhijun's forehead jumped unexpectedly, and he thought he had heard it wrong.

Yu Hui beside him also frowned and asked, "Forty percent is not too much, and how will the personnel be allocated?"

"The Guard will dispatch one hundred B-level and below psychics, and the Self-Defense Forces will dispatch fifteen hundred personnel. The ratio of the number of personnel dispatched from the outer circle to the inner circle is 8:2."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the leaders who held the power over the military changed drastically, especially the base commander. Although there was no big change in emotion on his face, the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly uncontrollably.

"At present, the entire base's guard team has less than 500 members, and the Self-Defense Force members add up to only 4,000. If so many people are withdrawn at once, if other unexpected situations occur, the order of the entire base will collapse."

The people on the side of the rich and powerful also quickly agreed, "That's right, it's just a cult organization, why is it necessary to mobilize so many troops? I think it would be better to just organize a group of A-level psychics to catch them all in one fell swoop."

The practical people on the side immediately retorted when they heard this: "Catch them all in one fell swoop? That's easy to say. We can't even find their lair, and you still want to wipe them out. I think it's good enough that they didn't bite us back."

"We can't mobilize so many people. What if there is a second large-scale beast tide this year? There are also other natural disasters. These all require support. If there are not enough people, the rescue operation will be difficult to carry out."

"Oh, don't be so righteous. Everyone knows that your faction is worried about the damage to its business. Speaking of rescue, I want to ask, how many rescue personnel did the entire base send during the acid rain? The community where I live had water seepage some time ago, and the corrosive liquid covered the community walls. I wanted to apply for some personnel to support, but after waiting for three days, I was only told that there is a shortage of manpower at the moment, and we were asked to find a way to solve the problem ourselves. I want to ask, where did all the people go during this period? Don't tell me that they all ran to the villa area?"

The man's question was very incisive. The powerful faction maintained a tacit silence. In fact, only they themselves knew the situation.

Chen Yanxi leaned back slightly, and his jawline revealed under the mask drew a cold arc. Every word he said was not actually very loud, but the people present felt very uncomfortable, as if there was a knife hanging around their necks at any time, and this knife could cut their throats immediately!

Shen Lian could feel that the aura of oppression from the man in front of him was stronger than before. Because both of them were S-level, their perception of supernatural powers was even stronger. In less than a month, he could feel that Chen Yanxi's current strength was no longer an ordinary S-level, and perhaps had even reached the legendary SS-level.

The powerful faction here saw that they were at a disadvantage, but they were unwilling to give up the real power in their hands, so they would never compromise at this meeting. One of the powerful factions immediately snorted with a straight face, "It's easy to say that. You know, it's not so easy to mobilize more than a thousand people. But I know that Captain Chen has a guard team of more than 300 people. Just mobilize 200 people. As for the remaining members of the West Lower Self-Defense Force, they can be drawn from various security bureaus and branches to make up 500 people. I think this way we can increase the number of personnel and keep some people on standby to deal with various emergencies at any time."

Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth, but said nothing. Although they were from the same faction, he didn't think that Chen Yanxi's silence meant he was good at talking.

As expected, everyone else kept silent, and the man was still feeling proud of himself for having won back a point against the practical people. However, he did not expect that the man would be frightened the next moment, and see a tiny white line on the table spreading from the corner of the table to the man's cup.

The man was still shaking his legs proudly. When he picked up the cup and was about to drink, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand. White smoke then emerged from the white lines. In just a few seconds, his entire arm was completely frozen by the frost.

Chen Yanxi stood up suddenly. Although he didn't say a word, he gave off an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"If the departments can't allocate manpower in half a day, I will not participate in the next beast tide suppression operation."

As soon as the others left, the powerful official immediately screamed in pain. The base commander frowned and looked at Shen Lian, who was also an S-level here.

Shen Lian just smiled faintly and said, "It is said that Chen Yanxi is invulnerable to ice, frost, water and fire, unless he uses his mental power to withdraw it or a fire-type psychic of the same level releases fire to destroy it. It seems that there is no S-level fire-type psychic in our base. Even if there is, we can't remove your arm, Mr. Liu, right?"
