After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately

Li Ke could see Qiu Feng's anxious mood, so she asked the two to go first and she would catch up on a motorcycle later.

The third base of Qiushan Base is also under construction. At the beginning of spring, Qiu Shisan brought a group of people to the second ring road to start construction.

Currently, everyone else is concentrated in Song Xian’s Seventh Ring Road Base and Qiu Feng’s Eighth Ring Road Base.

Li Ke usually lives in a private residence within the Sixth Ring Road. Jian Ye and his family have not moved in yet, so her place is still very quiet.

Military areas and private residences within the first ring road are also under construction. Song Xian will select a contact office among these places to facilitate communication.

On the way to the First Ring Road Conference Reception Center, Li Ke saw that many plants were covered with spots, and some had holes eroded by rain. Although there seemed to be a lot of wounds, it seemed to have no effect on their vitality.

The magical mutant plants have appeared ahead of schedule, but human changes seem to be still very slow. The corrosive damage of rainwater still has a great impact on the human body. So far, no stubborn person has been seen to wander around in the rain.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people have become immune to the harm of acid rain, but they keep quiet to avoid attracting attention, like Li Ke, who became immune a long time ago.

On the eighth day, Li Ke and two other people arrived at the conference reception. There were many people participating in the meeting, and Li Ke and his group were considered to be relatively late. Even so, they still had to wait for another three days. On the fourth day, everyone arrived and they started to enter the venue in the afternoon.

The meeting was chaired by a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit and a short-haired lady in her thirties who looked very serious and capable. Both of them were wearing neat Zhongshan suits, and their military ranks could not be seen if they were not military uniforms.

Behind them were two soldiers in military uniforms and a man who was also wearing a Zhongshan suit and carrying a briefcase.

Li Ke, Song Xianqiufeng and the other two were sitting in the front middle of the base. Li Ke saw Kong Zhiyan, Song Yuquan, and representatives from the Qiu and Jin families.

There were also representatives from four other bases. Li Ke didn't have much impression of them. Song Xian whispered an introduction to them beside her. These were all secondary bases and were not in the boss's house.

Behind Li Ke and his group, more than 20 representatives from the head base and the remaining secondary bases were sitting in the back. Some of them did not even sit at the conference table, but just found a seat on the periphery.

The representative of the Mo family was Mo Cheng. Uncle Mo and Mo Baoer did not show up. Many new faces appeared in this meeting. Many representatives of secondary bases who attended the meeting were directly the leaders of the bases.

At the beginning of the meeting, the man with the briefcase took out a stack of documents and distributed them from the front. There were more than 30 copies in total. This number was obviously not enough, so the man asked everyone to read it and then pass it around.

Bases with missing persons can keep a copy and do not need to pass it down.

Li Ke took one copy, and Song Xian and Qiu Feng also took one copy. It was a ransom list, which listed 15,000 women, 40,000 men, 3,000 children, 11,000 elderly people, 7,000 disabled people, and 9,000 patients.

Behind each gender and age group is the value of each person. Women in their prime childbearing years, pregnant women and men in their prime are the most valuable and can be exchanged for food and gold, with each person receiving 100 kilograms of rice or 1 kilogram of gold.

Children were reduced by half, the elderly by a quarter, the disabled and the sick by a fifth, and only half of the most valuable women and men could be redeemed.

The signature reads: Creator Alliance.

"The number of people listed above is not the most accurate number. The other side said that the number is decreasing, but if they want, they can increase the number quickly. The other side has destructive weapons in their hands. We are not sure we can take them down. At present, we can only negotiate with them to stabilize them.

The representative of Qiu's base asked: "What kind of organization is this Creator Alliance? Why are they doing this? And the demands they made are too much, we can't do it at all!"

The two people at the top did not speak, and the spokesperson standing next to them answered: "They are currently seeking land and food. This organization is formed by a group of people and troops from small countries that have lost their land on the border. They have lost their land and homes, so they want to find opportunities for survival here, but their methods are rather despicable."

The Qiu representative was in a dilemma. "Nearly 10,000 people are missing from our base. If we redeem them as they ask, the rest of us won't be able to survive. Leader, please think of a solution."

The middle-aged man at the head was silent for a while before he said, "People are dying every day now, and the hostages are in a very dangerous situation. If you have people you want to redeem, you can count them and hand them over. If you are really powerless and decide to give up, then our people will continue to look for opportunities to rescue them, but it will take more time. The longer you delay, the more people may die, and the greater the variables will be."

"Is there absolutely no way we can deal with them? What's so scary about these people?"

"Everyone knows what kind of life we ​​are living now. The conditions they put forward are clearly making things difficult for us!"

"Please think of another way. We are willing to redeem him, but we definitely can't do it under such conditions. Can we negotiate with the other party?"

"Are people dying every day? We are writing a statistical table now. Can you help us ask if the people we want to save are still alive? What is their situation?"

"I don't want to be humiliated anymore. Where are those bastards? Let's take people over there. Even if we can't save our own people, we will make them live in misery!"

"Aren't you going to think of a solution? We can't even grow rice now..."

"..."

All kinds of voices rang out, drowning out the venue, and then slowly faded away because there was no response.

When everything was completely quiet, the leader spoke again: "There are only two options. One is to redeem the person, and the other is to give up redeeming the person and wait for rescue."

Li Ke asked Qiu Feng to count the important people now and redeem all 8,000 people. Li Ke couldn't say such words. The Kong family and the Song family all looked miserable and unbearable. Naturally, she couldn't be high-profile.

Qiu Feng took out the list of missing persons that he always carried with him and began to write down the names. There was nothing wrong with choosing. Given the limited conditions, he naturally had to make a choice.

The other bases also began to write, and there were also a few bases with solemn expressions on their faces, sitting in silence and not moving.

After receiving Li Ke's signal, Song Xian asked, "Can the people on the list we drew up be saved? What if they are already dead?"

The lady at the head of the group answered, "Not necessarily. If they are alive, they may be rescued. If they are dead, they will replace them with others. Originally, we did not choose hostages. It is precisely because we know that everyone is in a difficult situation that we have tried many times to persuade them. However, we cannot guarantee whether they can keep their promise."

"Then what are we still talking to these people about? Just attack them directly. Whether it's life or death, it will be a quick death. I hate these kind of fickle villains the most!" A representative who seemed to have a very hot temper spoke angrily.

The female leader glanced at him and said, "It is said that they have nuclear bombs, two at that. If you don't care about the lives of more than 80,000 people, or perhaps more than 80,000 people, then we can wait a little longer. If that doesn't work, we can let them detonate the nuclear bombs."

The meeting room was in complete silence. With so many compatriots around, who would dare to say they didn't care?

The two leaders stood up and walked out. Their spokesperson said, "Everyone, please think about it and discuss it. Prepare a list of people to be redeemed tonight and hand it over to us tomorrow morning. Those who are unable to redeem people should not be discouraged. Our people are always trying to find a way to rescue the hostages and will never give up the rescue operation."

The person who presided over the meeting left, and the remaining people began to make noise again. Many people sitting in the front also stood up and walked to the back, apparently wanting to seek help from the leader Jijia behind them.

Some people also stood up and left with heavy steps. Li Ke and the other two also stood up and prepared to leave. Mo Cheng walked towards them.

"Brother Li, if you need help, you can tell us and we will try our best to help you." Mo Cheng said sincerely.

Li Ke thanked him and told him to take care of his own business first and she would come to him if she needed anything.

"When you hand in the list tomorrow, tell them your request. We will send a few people to follow, escort the ransom and pick up the people. You should find a way to reveal this request tonight, and it will be better if more people make the request." Li Ke said to Song Xian as the three of them returned to the guest room.
