After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately
Chapter 228 Persuasion
Gao Ren smiled bitterly and said, "You still understand me. Director Fu's people came to tell me about the banquet, and Jiaojiao overheard it. She wanted to go and take a look. I thought that many people from the Mo family would go, and she was in a bad mood, so I didn't try to stop her."
Li Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and listened to Gao Ren's words before asking, "Has Patriarch Mo gone?"
Gao Ren's expression flickered for a moment, and then he returned to his serious look: "The head of the family did not attend. The people from the Mo family who participated in this banquet are people who do not have much say. The head of the family does not want to get too close to Director Fu at the moment."
The two walked and talked, and the sky gradually darkened. Li Zhenzhen finally understood the reason why Director Fu was still staying here.
According to Director Fu, the main purpose of their team is to go to the military base and join the main force, and if there are any disaster victims on the way, they will also find a way to bring them along.
But they encountered very few disaster victims along the way. Some of the smaller and more stable bases saw them as a poor group with no food, no oil, and not many bullets, and did not want to follow them, so when they got here, they only brought their own people with them.
The Qingyuan Base is the strongest, most populous and most stable base they have seen along the way.
Director Fu intends to persuade Mo Qing to move everyone to the military base. Then, with the support of the military, they will definitely develop better.
Mo Qing did not accept Director Fu's invitation, but he did not reject it sternly, and they both saved some face.
Director Fu held this small banquet in order to persuade some more people from the Mo family to see if it was possible to make Mo Qing change his mind again.
"Mo Qing won't agree." Li Zhenzhen said with certainty after hearing Gao Ren's words.
Gao Ren asked back: "What do you mean? Patriarch Mo has always believed in and supported the military. Maybe he will change his mind."
Li Zhenzhen did not refute Gao Ren's words: "You are right, but Director Fu doesn't sound very reliable. Even a bystander like me has such a clear feeling. Do you think that the head of the Mo family will give up the foundation that has just been developed here so easily and follow an unreliable team?"
Gao Renwei nodded and asked Li Zhenzhen: "What about you? Do you want to leave here? Go to the military base? If you want to go, I can take you away. I heard that the military base is safer and more stable."
Li Zhenzhen gave Gao Ren a strange look and said, "We are living quite well here. Compared to most people, we are already doing quite well. The military base will definitely have long-term development, but ordinary people like us will have to start from scratch if we go there, and we may end up being worse off than we are now."
After Gao Ren heard this, he seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't say anything. Li Zhenzhen then asked, "Why do you ask me this question? Do you plan to leave?"
Gao Ren frowned, "Some troops in the border areas have already withdrawn. The development of the poor base will become increasingly difficult in the future. Only by following the military base with sufficient weapons and strength can we make it to the end. Although some of the words Director Fu said at the meeting were inflammatory, they were not wrong in principle. Although I am not very capable, I also want to plan more for our future. I have saved a lot of things. If we really go to the military base, it won't be too difficult for us to get started."
Li Zhenzhen shook her head: "Let's wait a little longer. At least we have to move with a reliable large group, or move with Mo Qing's group. If things really get out of hand, the people above us will naturally make a decision early. Although we are of ordinary status, we are more or less related to them and will not be left behind."
Gao Ren listened quietly, then said expressionlessly: "What you said makes sense, so let's wait for the right time."
Li Zhenzhen smiled at him, and the two walked for a while before turning back to the base. Gao Ren looked at the entrance of the base getting closer and closer, and whispered, "Come to my place tonight? We haven't been together for a long time, and I miss you."
Li Zhenzhen thought that she had already declined twice, and it would be unreasonable to refuse again, so she agreed: "Then I will go back and talk to Jiaojiao, and I will come to your place later."
Gao Ren said considerately: "I'll pick you up."
Li Zhenzhen said coquettishly: "No, it's not far, you can just wait at home."
Gao Ren nodded with a smile, and the two of them entered the base one after the other. After going down to the underground floor together, they separated and walked towards where they lived.
The center of the Qingyuan base is still a villa area with five floors above ground and three floors underground. The most important and powerful people in the base live here, and both the above ground and underground floors are their private residences.
Mo Qingzheng was having dinner with his two children. Mo Baoer was always by his side. Mo Cheng had gone out with the search team early to gain experience. Since the establishment of the Qingyuan base, their family had not had much time to reunite.
Mo Cheng followed the teachers walking outside. They had recently discovered an iron mine. Although it was not very big, it made them very happy.
Mo Cheng came back this time to tell his father about this matter, and then take a group of people out to mine the iron ore.
After Mo Qing heard the news and the location his son reported to him, he asked for more details: "The location you mentioned is too far from here, and we have to take a detour, and it will take nearly two months to go back and forth. Have you taken a close look at the situation near the iron mine? If there are other unknown forces, the mining value of this place will be even smaller."
Mo Cheng replied confidently: "We searched all the way there, but didn't encounter anyone. That place is a dry sealand, and the surrounding conditions are clear at a glance. The weather conditions are so bad now, and there are no houses or traces of people there. We also made sure the surroundings were safe, and then the masters sent me back to tell me about this. My way back was also smooth, and I am familiar with the road. When we leave, we will take more people with us, so safety will not be a problem."
Mo Qing listened to his son's insistence and said nothing more: "Okay, then I'll send more people over there, and you guys can mine it out earlier and come back to rest earlier."
"Okay, okay, stop talking and eat more. My brother seems to have lost weight again and looks so pitiful." Mo Baoer picked up the dishes that her father and brother liked and said to Mo Cheng.
When Mo Cheng heard his sister teasing him, he deliberately said, "Why don't you say that I've grown taller and stronger? Now if the two of us go out, everyone will definitely say that I'm the older brother."
Mo Baoer teased him: "That's because you've grown older, not because you've grown taller."
Mo Cheng said indifferently: "I don't care. Old people are more resistant to aging."
After dinner, they sat together to eat fruit. Mo Baoer peeled an orange and gave it to her brother: "Try it. I planted it myself and took care of it until it bore fruit. It tastes pretty good."
Mo Cheng ate it and said politely, "It's delicious!"
Mo Baoer peeled another one for his father, and then asked, "When will Director Fu leave? Why does he always stay here with us? He only has 500 people, no food and no ammunition, and he wants nearly 200,000 people in our base to follow him. I don't know what he is thinking?"
Mo Qing smiled and looked at the two children who were waiting for his answer: "So, he always knew that we would not go with him, but he still had to act as he should."
Mo Baoer looked at his father, seeming to understand a little, but also a little confused: "Then why did he do that? I heard that he contacted some of his subordinates and held a banquet, still trying to persuade everyone to go with him. Really, he ate our food, drank our drinks, and even got our expenses for the banquet. This guy is really capable!"
"Maybe someone really wants to go with him? That would reduce the burden on us. I really hope he can take some people with him. If no one is willing to go with him, then he won't suffer any loss. Besides, if we reject the big request, it will be hard to refuse the small requests that follow." Mo Qing said slowly.
Mo Baoer and his brother looked at each other for a while, and soon realized what his father said, and asked back: "If his request is too much, will you agree, Dad?"
Mo Qing: "We still have nearly 200,000 people to support. With such a heavy burden, how can he ask for such a high price?"
Mo Baoer thought of Director Fu's style and agreed with him: "Who knows, maybe they will think that our family is being taken advantage of, and maybe they will agree to it?"
Director Fu, who was being talked about by the Mo family, was also gathering with his close subordinates to discuss and make a long list.
Recently, their people have found out a lot about the base. Just from what they have seen on the surface, it is enough to prove that Qingyuan Base is strong and resourceful, which makes Director Fu feel very emotional and envious.
