"Oh? Could it be that the Mu family has other ways to deal with this? Why not tell us about it? But I'm curious why the Mu family remained indifferent before the troops were dispatched?"

Facing the dissatisfaction of Mu Kaishan, the old lady of the Mu family, every word of Gu Derui was heart-wrenching. After all, the decision to send troops to defend against the first wave of bird attacks was agreed by all the congressmen. His remarks also made the other congressmen look at the Mu family with complicated eyes.

Taking in the expressions of every member of parliament, Old Lady Mu Kaishan waved to the person behind her: "Come on, tell me what happened?"

The guard with red eyes and disheveled clothes stepped forward when he was called by his ancestor: "Report to the master, all fifty-three soldiers of our Mu family have died. The beasts are too fierce to resist. I requested to open the door for rescue, but the young master of the Gu family did not allow it, and so many lives were buried!"

His words were almost roared out, but the other members of the parliament present reacted indifferently. The old man of the Gu family even smiled, as if the dead were not people but a group of chickens and ducks, which was nothing unusual.

Waving his hand to let his personal soldiers, who were so excited that they could hardly control themselves, retreat, Mu Kaishan said in a loud voice: "In the beginning, our Mu family agreed to send troops in order to save the people in the shelter from danger. Every one of them is a good son of our Mu family, not for you to abuse!"

Seeing the old lady getting emotional, Qian Wending looked around and stood up to respond: "Yes, many people from the Mu family sacrificed their lives this time, and they are all heroes who gave their all for the shelter.

But whether or not to open the door to the rooftop, I think the head of the Mu family knows better than us. If the door is really opened and millions of people in the shelter are killed, then it will be difficult for your Mu family to explain, right?"

boom!

"It's hard for us in the Mu family to explain ourselves, but do you think it's easy for you cowards to explain yourself to others?"

Glancing at everyone present, Mu Kaishan said in a cold and arrogant tone: "In the beginning, it was you who shamelessly came to ask our Mu family to send troops, and you kept talking about national justice, but in the end, you didn't send a single person!

What? Do you really think that my Mu family is easy to bully? Then you can come and try!"

Every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful, which made Qian Wendi feel embarrassed. Even Gu Derui of the Gu family kept silent.

The entire conference room fell silent for a moment, and Mu Kaishan was imprisoned in silence. She couldn't just walk away in such a critical moment, but she couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.

Just as she was about to leave, Zheng Qi, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly called her: "Master Mu, every soldier of the Mu family died to protect the people in the shelter. The compensation for their families should not be borne by the Mu family alone."

Turning to look at the other old men, Zheng Qi said solemnly: "These soldiers fought for the entire shelter. We must take care of their families. I propose that the parliament take out this pension and double it on the original basis."

After these words were spoken, Councillor Qian's brows subconsciously frowned, but old man Gu Derui of the Gu family remained calm, and did not seem to worry at all about having to pay a large sum of pension.

With a sigh, Wang Fugui spoke first: "The Wang family is not in the business world, we can only give 10% at most."

Someone took the lead, and Qian Wending followed without hesitation: "We, the Qian family, were doing business before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, there won't be that much business to do. We, the Qian family, can contribute 20%."

Feeling the gazes focused on him, Gu Derui sat up straight and said, "It's not impossible to pay. Our Gu family can pay 30%, or even 40%, but I have one condition."

He looked directly at the furious Mu Kaishan across the long table: "Don't be so angry, if I'm not mistaken, those so-called Mu family warriors should be the wanderers that your Mu family has recently gathered. It's not impossible to use them in exchange for some pensions and benefits.

But your Mu family must promise to send our Gu family a group of such warriors. If you don’t have any, I can provide them.”

After hearing this, the old lady of the Mu family's face changed for a while and she sat down again: "Master Gu, are all the soldiers under your Gu family your own people? It's best not to talk to me about this. The matter of pension is not negotiable. Think about how much you want to contribute."

After saying this, Mu Kaishan calmed down instead, and even picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. However, the poor quality of the tea leaves made her frown subconsciously.

Before the apocalypse, the tea she drank was all new tea that was served every year. Unfortunately, after the apocalypse, such days are no longer there, and even a sip of new tea is a luxury.

The Mu family refused to compromise, so Gu Derui could only turn to Qian Wending and said, "We are all old men, so stop bargaining. The Gu family and the Qian family will each pay 30%, and General Zheng and the Wang family will each pay 20%."

Seeing Wang Fugui was about to speak, Gu Derui waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not discuss such a small matter anymore. What we want to talk about is the giant ship. The giant ship is the most important thing now!"

His words were so decisive that the others stopped arguing. However, what they didn't know was that a new disaster was brewing on the earth.

In the ruins five kilometers away from the official shelter, many hunting teams were searching for mutant animals that could be hunted. Among them, two figures, one big and one small, strayed away from the team.

After checking that no one was following him, the muscular middle-aged man showed a proud smile to the young man beside him: "Look, those people don't care at all. This is your strong brother's unique secret."

"Brother Zhuang, I see many people do this. How can you say it's your unique secret? Also, it's dangerous to stay away from the team. Let's go back."

The skinny boy felt helpless towards his brother. All he thought about every day was picking up bargains. However, all the places with good stuff within a few kilometers of the shelter had already been searched out by other exploration teams. How could there be any good stuff waiting for them to pick up?

He wanted to persuade his brother to go back, but Da Zhuang took him further away: "Don't worry, there is no way any mutant beasts can come out in such a heavy snow, they are probably hibernating.

Besides, when winter comes, we have to pay for heating, electricity and water. Our salary is not enough to get us through the whole winter. We should find something to exchange for money. Otherwise, we might starve to death before the winter is over."

Thinking about the fact that the electricity and water bills for this month have not been paid yet, the boy could only nod and say, "Okay, but we'd better not leave the main group too far, so it's safer."

With the boy's affirmation, Dazhuang carried him on his back and walked towards a deserted place. As they walked and stopped, they actually found some fruits covered under the snow.

"Brother, this is an apple, right? There are still apples now!"

Da Zhuang dug away the snow, picked a bright red fruit and looked at it carefully. The excitement of finding food made him raise his voice unconsciously.

Just when he was about to pick another one, the boy suddenly shouted, "Don't go over there!"

what?

Before Da Zhuang could react, a huge force pulled him into the snow pit, and then the entire snow layer began to shake instantly.
