In the end of the world, I want to be the queen of zombies

"I'll pay more attention. Thank you, Sister Mengmeng."

Gu Yonghua is not an ungrateful person.

And since Chen Mengmeng took the initiative to remind him, it must not be without purpose.

Gu Yonghua still has great trust in Chen Mengmeng's character.

It's not just Chen Mengmeng, Su Li is the same as well.

People like them who are devoted to academics are often stubborn.

They may not necessarily be good people, but they usually don't lie.

Gu Yonghua decided that as soon as he finished dealing with matters on Phoenix Island, he would immediately arrange for people to monitor Du Ming.

However, without sufficient evidence, all he could do was monitor.

After all, Du Ming is also one of the top leaders of the base. If he is dealt with for no reason, it is likely to cause unrest among the people.

Chen Mengmeng looked at Gu Yonghua deeply and said, "Just be careful."

After saying that, Chen Mengmeng no longer mentioned Du Ming, but took Gu Yonghua to stroll in the safe zone.

As time went by, the survivors in the safe zone gradually became richer by working for Phoenix City.

After meeting their security and survival needs, they begin to pursue material needs.

Countless shops of all kinds appeared in every corner of the safe zone like mushrooms after rain.

As Gu Yonghua walked along, he saw many breakfast shops, fast food restaurants, and dessert shops.

He even saw a large milk tea shop at a corner.

In addition to the catering industry, there are many small supermarkets, clothing stores, electrical appliance stores, and furniture stores opened in Phoenix in the safe zone.

The entire Phoenix safe zone is filled with the atmosphere of fireworks.

For a moment, Gu Yonghua suddenly had the illusion that he was living before the end of the world.

Gu Yonghua stopped, looked at Chen Mengmeng and said, "You Phoenix City are really amazing. You are doing better than most human bases."

Chen Mengmeng raised her lips and said, "Are you sure it's just most of it, not all of it?"

Gu Yonghua smiled awkwardly, "Don't be so decisive. We humans also need to save face."

"But I'm really happy that you can treat humans so well."

"It seems that you are really working hard to restore order instead of just feeding them."

Chen Mengmeng curled her lips and said, "We don't need such rations. We are new humans, not zombies."

"The new humans don't eat humans."

Hearing this, Gu Yonghua asked curiously, "What are you eating?"

Chen Mengmeng explained, "We mainly eat beef, fish, and the meat of various mutant beasts."

"Of course, the energy crystal core is also one of our foods."

Gu Yonghua hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you ever considered keeping humans in captivity, turning them into zombies, and hunting for crystal cores?"

Chen Mengmeng looked at Gu Yonghua with a look of care for the mentally retarded.

"Do you think we in Phoenix City are the Eternal Life Society?"

"And if we're going to keep them in captivity, why don't we just keep zombies in captivity."

"Are you suffering from paranoia?"

"To be honest, the threat that the Immortal Society poses to humanity is much greater than that of Phoenix City."

Gu Yonghua couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed after hearing Chen Mengmeng's straightforward words.

Because what she said was right.

Everyone in the United Government knows that the base controlled by the Eternal Life Society is using the lives of the survivors to mass-produce supernatural crystal cores.

For example, the M City base that Su Li had destroyed before is a typical example.

In just less than two months, the number of ordinary survivors in the M City base dropped by one third.

In fact, such news is not that secretive.

But the current coalition government is no longer able to stop their misdeeds.

Even many of the top leaders of the United Government are members of the Eternal Life Society.

Thinking of this, Gu Yonghua couldn't help but sigh heavily.

As a young and vigorous military officer, Gu Yonghua's passion has never been extinguished even when the end of the world has come.

In his mind, the mission of a soldier should be to protect the people.

So after becoming the base commander, all his orders were focused on saving more lives of survivors.

Although his actions saved a large number of survivors, they created another thorny problem.

That was his base, and it was going into overdrive.

There are too many survivors in the base and he simply cannot afford to support so many people.

With such a huge population base, the supplies in his base were being consumed at a terrifying rate.

The supplies were originally planned to be enough to sustain them for a year, but at the current rate of consumption, they can only last another half a year at best.

This is also the reason why he would rashly bring people to try to make contact with Phoenix City.

Because he needs a large amount of superpower potions to mass-produce superpowers.

When there are more people with special abilities, he can arrange them to enter the occupied areas to collect survival supplies.

Only by doing this can he solve the food crisis in the base.

However, this problem was instantly solved after Lin Xiyue proposed the business alliance plan.

With Phoenix as a backup, at least we no longer have to worry about the survivors in the base starving to death.

Chen Mengmeng pointed at the busy survivors in the safe zone, turned to Gu Yonghua and said, "Do you feel that the survivors in Phoenix City are different from the survivors in your base?"

Gu Yonghua nodded and said thoughtfully, "The survivors under your rule are more energetic, more orderly, and more spirited."

Chen Mengmeng said bluntly, "That's because Li Zi and Minister Su have been managing the situation very carefully from the beginning."

"And your base is completely lazy politics."

“If you can eat and survive regardless of whether you work or not, then who would work?”

"I know you're a good person, but eating from the same pot is not conducive to long-term development."

In the previous time and space, Chen Mengmeng had stayed in Gu Yonghua's base for a long time, so she naturally knew the problems that existed in their base.

Gu Yonghua was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to be like this either, but we are different from you. We don't have that much work to arrange in the base."

In fact, this problem exists not only in Gu Yonghua’s base.

Almost all human bases have the same problem.

Faced with the survivors, they only have two choices.

Either the survivors are kept alive for nothing, or they starve to death.

Take the C City base for example. Such a small area is densely populated with more than two million survivors.

It is simply impossible for the C City base to create a job for everyone.
