Chapter 112: High-Level Meeting
In the highest conference room of the office building in the first area of the base.
"Before, you said that you could put pressure on those mutants and aliens by collecting rent for the use of houses, but I think that the crystal nuclei they get from hunting in the mountains every day are enough to pay the price you set, but those ordinary people are forced to move out of the fifth district because they can't hand over ten crystal beads and become poor." An old man with gray hair who should have a very kind and kind face looked at the people sitting in the two rows at his hand with a serious face and even a little annoyance.
"Chief, don't be angry, we didn't expect that there are so many mutant beasts in the surrounding mountains, enough to make those supernatural and mutant people pay rent, and there will be a large amount of surplus for cultivation." Zheng Jin, the minister of finance, defended that he set the amount of rent, and although it was agreed with all the ministers at the beginning, it was his idea in the end. Who would have thought that there were so many mutant beasts in the mountains that those supernatural people would be very happy, and he remembered that there were not so many animals here before.
Xiao Weiyi slapped the table and said angrily: "Minister Zheng, do you mean that the rent is set too low?" ā
Zheng Jin didn't expect his words to make the chief even more annoyed, and cautiously probed: "The subordinates feel that the rent for mutants and supernatural people is a little less, and the ordinary people are a bit too much, this is the dereliction of duty of the subordinates, and they have made a wrong decision, and the subordinates must review it carefully." ā
Xiao Weiyi sighed with hatred and sat down on the chair: "You guys, I'm angry that you have forced ordinary people homeless, but you told me that the pricing was wrong." ā
"Isn't that still the reason for the high price...... Zheng Jin muttered quietly.
"Minister Zheng, what are you talking to yourself? Something to say out loud. Chief Xiao looked at Zheng Jin again.
Zheng Jin secretly scolded himself for not keeping the door on his lips, although this Chief Xiao is also an ordinary person, but his ear is very good, and he is only whispering and muttering is also heard by him. However, he has always had a bright brain, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates feel that although the current situation does not see any results, and there are some negative effects, there are also good aspects. ā
"Tell me about it."
"According to statistics, there are a total of 200 anomalies and mutants in the base army. There are as many as 500 anomalies and mutants who have not joined the army. These 500 people hand in at least 1,500 crystal nuclei every month, and if they are distributed to the aliens and mutants of our army, each person can get seven. Of course, I'm only scratching it out now. The base should also leave a certain amount of crystal nucleus reserves. If all the seven crystal nuclei were used for cultivation, an ordinary mutant should be able to enter the first order no matter what, and some of them might even enter the second and third orders. This allows our army of abilities to increase dramatically, and may not need to recruit abilities and mutants from outside the army to participate in the quest to find the white crystal nucleus. And those who have not been subject to militarized management are likely to disobey orders, adding additional difficulties to the task. ā
Zheng Jin finished speaking. Seeing Xiao Weiyi's slightly thoughtful look, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and slowly sat back in his seat.
"That's exactly what you said, Minister Wang, what do you think?"
Minister Wang Shiwang, who was sitting first on Xiao Weiyi's right hand, replied with a serious expressionless face: "According to the understanding of his subordinates, there are many mutants and supernatural people who have not joined the army with extraordinary strength, and those who have entered the first order are not less than those in our army. If we can recruit them, I think the mission will go more smoothly, and of course I agree with Minister Zheng's consideration that non-military personnel are prone to disobey orders, but after all, not everyone will be like this. If we can get capable people from outside the army to join us in our operations. It will inevitably greatly increase the overall strength of the special team that will be formed, which will also reduce casualties. Therefore, I think that the Abnormal Army and the Mutant Army should not only quickly improve their strength, but also recruit Abnormal Abilities and Mutants outside the army, but they should recruit those with excellent strength, those whose strength is mediocre and will not help the operation should avoid mixing, not only will they lower the level of the squad, but also for their safety. ā
Xiao Weiyi nodded. That's right, the task must not only be completed efficiently, but more importantly, the safety of personnel. Since casualties cannot be avoided, efforts must be made to minimize them, but ...... Xiao Weiyi frowned, he was angry just now and was obviously not here. How did you turn into the recruitment of personnel for the special squad?
"Minister Wang said that I agree very much, but the formation of the special team will be put down in advance and discussed at another day, and today I want to know what you plan to do with those displaced people."
Wang Shi's expression was still serious, but his eyes blinked unconsciously. Of course, he had attended the previous meeting on the collection of rent from the occupants of the base, and they were several ministers who had met and reported the results of the meeting's research to the chief. Chief Xiao did not attend that meeting, but only hesitantly agreed to the policy they proposed. Now Chief Xiao only sees the ordinary people who have been expelled from the fifth district, turning a blind eye to the benefits brought by the policy, and he can't help but feel a little helpless.
Originally, he wanted to follow Zheng Jin's words and turn the conversation to the special team, and then discuss how to recruit powerful abilities and mutants to join the mission. had already successfully diverted Chief Xiao's attention, but he didn't expect that the chief would never forget the fact that several ordinary people were driven out of the Fifth District.
As the head of the base, such a love for the people is certainly commendable, but blind benevolence is not conducive to the development of the base in such a harsh environment.
In order to pay the rent, those abilities and mutants also felt the importance of the advancement of the strength improvement ability while hunting mutant beasts, so that they no longer hunted to cope with the rent, but also actively participated in order to improve their strength through crystal nuclei. Compared with the grain search task launched in the previous two months, it is qualitatively different, the grain search task can be said to be completely passive and compulsory participation, and today's hunting behavior may be passive at first, but now, even if each family has enough crystal nuclei to pay a year's rent, they will still actively go up the mountain to hunt every day.
It can be said that the current world is the world of zombie mutant beasts, human beings can only survive in the cracks, and if they want to continue to exist for a long time, and return to the era of human domination, they still rely on mutants and supernatural people, and those ordinary people may be slowly eliminated by the environment.
Of course, he couldn't say this, every ability and mutant was an ordinary person before, he didn't mean to despise ordinary people, and their respected Chief Xiao was also an ordinary person without any ability and no mutated physique. He just felt that Xiao Weiyi's focus was a little biased. (To be continued.) )
