For a moment, after a discussion, the few people in the room fell silent again.
"I have two questions: where are the aliens, and who will go negotiate with them?" Sister Na scanned everyone in the room, her gaze finally landing on Lin Chongshan.
The people in the room gradually lowered their heads, none wanting to be the first to step forward.
Putting aside the fact that no one in the room had ever heard of aliens on Blue Star, even now that everyone knew, the impression aliens, creatures only seen in film and television, left on them was mostly terrifying.
Seeing everyone remain silent, Sister Na scoffed.
"Tch, I thought you were all heroes, but you're all cowards."
"Then you go, Sister Na. Your level is the highest in this room."
The man with the scar on his face was nudged in the waist by the person beside him and blurted out what he just said without thinking.
However, after speaking, he wished he could bite off his tongue. With so many people, why was he the one who spoke too much?
Not only was Sister Na the highest in level among them, but her temper was also notoriously bad.
"You men don't go, and you want me, a woman, to step up? If I really manage to negotiate, will you be my subordinates then?"
Sister Na scanned the people in the room again.
"Alright, all of you, say less. You definitely won't be able to find these aliens, so this matter still requires me to personally handle it."
Lin Chongshan looked at the silent group and felt a wave of speechlessness. It seemed that none of the people in this room could be befriended.
Once he established a firm foothold here, he couldn't rely on these people. He would have to support some of his old subordinates from Dragon City.
"However, as Sister Na said, if this matter is settled, the people of our two bases will have to follow my arrangements from now on."
Lin Chongshan rubbed the metal sphere in his hand, looking as if he was determined to succeed.
"No, even though you're going to negotiate this matter, the management within our bases should remain as it is. We are all councilors and have decision-making power."
The man sitting next to the scarred man was the first to object.
The people present now were the managers of the two bases.
Ever since they received the news that Nameless City was expanding and wanted to merge their regions, they had already begun to form alliances.
The bases they were in were not small, and none of them wanted to give up their existing interests.
But they all knew that Nameless City no longer accepted new members.
Therefore, they were unwilling to become ordinary survivor teams in the cities under Nameless City, or to leave here and start from scratch.
"Brother Lin, there's no need to rush. What era is it now? The way of worshipping one person is no longer suitable. Don't you see, Nameless City isn't ruled by a city lord alone? They also have to hold meetings to make decisions."
Seeing Lin Chongshan's face darken, that person once again expressed everyone's thoughts.
Moreover, Lin Chongshan himself didn't have a team, and he was here only because his son was the deputy city lord of Nameless City.
They hadn't expected this old man to even betray his own son. It seemed that Lin Chongshan's relationship with Lin Yu wasn't very good either.
"Then let's leave it at that for today. There are still a lot of things waiting outside."
Sister Na saw that no one else had anything to say. Anyway, the matter of finding aliens was brought up by Lin Chongshan, and he didn't have his own team in these two bases.
Therefore, everything would have to be discussed after Lin Chongshan had made some progress. At this moment, going out to search for supplies was more effective than wasting time here.
Sister Na stood up, clapped her hands, and then without looking at the people in the room again, she left first.
Afterward, the few people in the room also got up and left one after another.
In the room, only Lin Chongshan and a man sitting next to the scarred man remained.
"Li Hao, by rights, your Tianba has quite a few ability users and is quite strong. Why do you insist on this council-style management? Wouldn't it be better to dominate one base yourself?"
With no one else in the room, Lin Chongshan's eyes darted around, and he began to instigate the man in the room who hadn't gotten up yet.
Since this person had been talking about council-style management just now, he didn't believe that this person had no ambition to become king alone.
Li Hao smiled at Lin Chongshan and stood up, leaning on the table with his hands.
"Hahaha, I don't have Lu Heng's ability. As I just said, regarding the matter of aliens, we'll wait for your good news."
After speaking, Li Hao gave Lin Chongshan a meaningful look and left the conference room without looking back.
Listening to the receding footsteps, Lin Chongshan angrily slammed the metal sphere in his hand onto the table.
"A mob that can't unite. I'll see how long you can last."
...
In the conference room of Nameless City.
Lin Yu listened to his subordinates' work reports. During this period, all aspects of Nameless City's work were progressing in an orderly manner.
The crops cultivated within the base were also yielding abundant harvests. With the activation of plant-type ability users, these improved crops cultivated after the apocalypse had achieved fruitful results.
In the apocalypse, having food in hand was the guarantee of everyone's life.
Therefore, Lin Yu ordered the acceleration of crop planting. They had storage accessories, so storing grain would ensure it wouldn't mold or spoil.
Before the second winter arrived, Nameless City could stockpile more grain.
"City Lord Lin, our grain problem has indeed greatly improved. Although the pre-apocalypse grain was also sufficient, everyone was very worried that once the old grain ran out, they would face starvation again.
Now, the new grain cultivation is very promising, and everyone's confidence has increased."
Indeed, grain had always been an important issue.
Although the survivors who lived through the apocalypse were a minority, the original population base was large, and the number of survivors nationwide was not small.
With so many people, even if Lu Heng had a continuous supply of old grain, it was inevitable that some people would develop anxiety that the old grain would eventually be consumed, without anyone knowing.
The successful cultivation and increased production of Nameless City's new improved crops had indeed strengthened the survivors' confidence in their future lives in the apocalypse.
"Alas, it's just a bit lacking in meat. If we could get the pigs, sheep, and other animals from before, everyone would get more meat."
"Meat? Haha, what are you dreaming about? All the animals have mutated into mutated beasts, or they are zombie animals. How can you raise them?"
"It's not impossible. Some animals have mutated, and they've even gotten bigger. That means more meat to eat."
"This is possible. Send people to try and catch some of the farm animals from before. After bringing them back, we can also try to cultivate them, perhaps like the plants."
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but nod. This was indeed something that could be considered.
