While others are trying to survive the apocalypse, I am becoming stronger by reading the entries of

Hong Jingyi and Hong Lei, father and son, sat on the sofa in silence.

He didn't want to be like this either.

Before the end of the world, the Hong family was definitely one of the top three wealthy families in Shudu's business world. What kind of people hadn't they seen?

But in front of this young man, he actually felt powerless.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

He just sat there motionless.

His indifferent and indifferent temperament controlled him tightly.

I must have nightmares every night.

I didn't sleep well.

I was in a bad mental state, so I was suppressed by his aura.

"Hong Jingyi."

"Ah~"

He called out lightly, and Hong Jingyi responded with a flattering look.

He didn't even realize how ugly his slave look was.

He didn't realize that he was also a big boss, but in front of this young man, he looked like a clown.

"Let me introduce myself first."

"My last name is Liu."

"I already know your story. I can agree to your conditions: 200 old-fashioned guns and 30,000 rounds of bullets."

"You can form a private armed force."

"But the number of people with hot weapons can only be controlled within 200 people. Remember, I am talking about armed personnel with hot weapons."

Hong Jingyi naturally understood.

There is no limit on the number of armed personnel with cold weapons.

In fact, he has nearly 500 laborers, all of whom are strong men, who are responsible for going out to rescue supplies every day.

These people are all good at using cold weapons.

Hammers, spears, and simple shields.

It is with these weapons that batches of supplies are brought back from areas where zombies are scattered by trucks.

There are temporary laws in the Luhu base.

The supplies brought back are all private property, and robbery is a capital crime.

Therefore, no matter how much supplies a private person has, it is safe in the base.

Of course, people like Hong Jingyi must know what the military means.

Is it private or public?

It's just a word from the military.

However, at present, the military has sufficient supplies and will not ask big households to hand them over in the short term.

In other words, the supplies in the hands of individuals can be freely distributed.

This is the opportunity to rise.

With food and people, there is status. Even if you have to hand it over in the future, you still have bargaining chips.

You can't beat the military.

Relying on the large number of people, you still have the ability to launch internal riots.

As long as you don't tear your face completely, you will give the other party face. I will pay less, you will stop, the base is safe, and everyone can get by.

Those top families in the true sense before the end of the world all rose in this way.

Interests are bound and restrained.

Hong Jingyi understood this truth very early, otherwise he would not have been so successful in Shudu.

However, Mr. Liu's words made him feel uneasy.

"The cold weapon team under your command is too poorly equipped."

"I will give you three air hammers and a small forging heating furnace."

"You are allowed to use industrial electricity."

"You must forge a batch of cold weapons as quickly as possible to strengthen your team."

There are more than a dozen wind turbines in Luhu.

Theoretically, the power generation is close to 600,000 kWh per day, but the wind speed is sometimes weak, and the actual power generation ranges from 300,000 to 500,000 kWh per day.

The vast majority of electricity is controlled by the military and the Ministry of Culture.

In the residential areas of ordinary survivors, there are only street lights for lighting, and there is no electricity indoors.

The place where the boss lives can be powered 24 hours a day.

But high-power mechanical equipment is not allowed.

Although industrial production has stopped.

However, the simple manufacturing of forging cold weapons with air hammers has been promoted.

After all, the weapons of zombies are teeth.

When facing a small-scale zombie group, as long as a shield formation is formed, cold weapons are more practical, and the official began to promote them vigorously.

So the use of electricity and forging equipment is strictly controlled.

Hong Jingyi was surprised.

Mr. Liu allowed him to use industrial electricity, and also allocated three air hammers and forging heating furnaces.

If the air hammers and heating furnaces work 12 hours a day.

About 1,500 kWh of electricity is needed a day.

Hong Jingyi admired Mr. Liu's power, but also secretly thought that it was not good. There is no free lunch in the world.

Sure enough, Mr. Liu's slow voice sounded again.

"I know your background very well."

"There are about 8,000 to 9,000 tons of supplies in the personal warehouse of the Luhu base. You need to pay 2,000 tons of supplies in exchange for weapons."

"I don't want the rest."

"But 70% of the supplies you bring back in the future will belong to me."

"In addition, I will send you a cold weapon expert and a hot weapon expert to train your men."

Hong Jingyi is a veteran in business warfare.

He immediately understood what Mr. Liu meant.There may be some special reasons. Mr. Liu wants to use others to secretly cultivate his own private armed forces. No wonder he is so generous to me.

This other person is me.

In name, he sent two experts to help, but in fact, they came to take over my team.

His people came to train my people.

In the future, I will obey his command.

This truth is obvious.

Moreover, people of Mr. Liu's level will not take back what they have said.

Because if they refuse, they will be silenced.

But then again, this is not a bad thing. Gu Yiming has Mr. Huang to back him up.

I have Mr. Liu as my backer.

Indeed, the Hong family will become Mr. Liu's vassal, but I am not completely sidelined.

As long as I agree to Mr. Liu.

That is a relationship of interest.

I can only say that at critical moments, Mr. Liu has absolute command over my Hong family, but most of the time, the command is still in my hands.

Just like Gu Yiming.

I can still command his subordinates.

Whether it is Mr. Huang or Mr. Liu, this level of behind-the-scenes boss usually won't make a move easily.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

If you want to rise, you must pay some price. As long as you can accept it, you will make a profit.

"Thank you Mr. Liu for your cultivation."

"Hong will never let you down."

Mr. Liu held up his glasses, with a gentlemanly smile on his face, and tilted his head slightly to look at the man with a mustache on the other side.

"Lin Hu, you are the same as Hong Jingyi."

"You will have no shortage of guns and bullets, and equipment will also be given to you. You must do your best to do what I tell you to do."

Lin Hu?

No wonder he looks familiar.

Hong Jingyi I remember that this man was a powerful figure in the Shudu underworld before the end of the world.

He is respected as the Godfather of the underworld.

Although he is called the underworld, he actually has connections in both black and white circles, and his status in both circles far exceeds his own.

These connections are meaningless in the zombie-occupied area where the future is uncertain.

But Luhu is a base, with order.

The network of relationships in the past is still effective here, but it has to pay some price.

Lin Hu's identity is not suitable for standing in front of the stage before the end of the world.

There was no contact before.

Now Hong Jingyi wants to make friends with Lin Hu. If he can get along well with Lin Hu, Gu Yiming will be even less worth mentioning.

But Lin Hu has not answered yet.

Mr. Liu looked at him calmly.

Lin Hu laughed: "Mr. Liu has made it clear. I have to agree whether I agree or not."

"But I have said it first."

Before Lin Hu finished speaking, the two guards at the door pointed their guns at him.

The contact person sitting next to Mr. Liu said in a threatening tone:

"Lin Hu, don't be ungrateful."

"You are not qualified to make conditions with Mr. Liu."
