More than 70 captives were tied up in front of the newly built council hall in Phoenix, and many of them were not lightly injured, the less injured barely stood in place, the seriously injured were still wailing on the ground, and some of them were still bleeding.

The rope tied to the captives was not very thick or tight, and many evolutionaries could break the rope with a little force, but none of them had the idea of escaping, because Bao was lying on the side and watching, Bao's teleportation ability These people had seen it outside the city just now.

"Twenty-eight of these people who came to borrow food today were killed by us today, including the leaders of three camps, and the leaders of two small camps in addition to Duanmukai, and the remaining one didn't run away, all of them were tied up below." Chi Hua slowly walked into the meeting hall, and Ouyang was beside him to report the results of the battle in detail.

Chi Hua sat down on a chair in the center of the hall, "Qingqiu, let everyone loose, and then notify Xiaodan's medical aid to treat these injured people." ”

"Senior brother, I heard you right, right?" Ma Qingqiu was obviously confused by Chi Hua's order, and stood still for a while.

"Hurry up, let you do it quickly, what so much nonsense!" Chi Hua didn't scold Ma Qingqiu angrily, obviously still being disturbed by the critical time just now.

Ma Qingqiu didn't dare to refute knowing that he was wrong, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to untie these prisoners and notify Xiaodan's medical department to treat their injuries.

After the tie-up was relaxed, Chi Hua asked several leaders to watch the seats and pour water, even the camp of the three dead leaders also left an evolutionary who was in charge, and the others let people lead them down to arrange meals.

The red ass sat on the chair, looking at Chi Hua who was sitting in the middle of the hall with anxiety, not knowing which one the Doomsday Phoenix had made.

"The leaders have been wronged just now, and now we can talk about borrowing grain." Chi Hua said directly to the door.

The thirteen people present looked at each other suspiciously, but none of them dared to speak.

Chi Hua was on the seat and quietly looked at the people below.

In the end, it was Liang Hong who stood up from his seat, and Liang Hong hugged Chi Hua first, "City Lord Yi isn't playing us, right?" Because of Chi Hua's previous name of Yi Fengleng, Liang Hong naturally respectfully called Chi Hua the lord of Yi City.

Chi Hua snorted coldly, "It's easy to kill you now, is it necessary to tease you?" ”

"Then why did City Lord Yi explicitly say not to borrow it before?" Although he was questioning, Liang Hong's tone became more and more respectful.

"Was that what you called borrowing before? I'm afraid you're trying to force it, aren't you? I didn't even want to pay it back even if I borrowed it, did I? Chi Hua had a cold face, and sat in his seat without being angry.

The few people below looked at each other but none of them dared to answer, obviously Chi Hua's words went to their hearts, and these people had planned to do so before.

Chi Hua continued: "Only people with equal strength can sit down and talk about borrowing and repaying equally, and now that we are equal in strength, I believe you are willing to talk now." ”

There was still no one down there to speak, but what these people were thinking in their hearts was what kind of strength was equal, and they were obviously pressed by you.

"I don't know how City Lord Yi plans to borrow it, and what kind of price does it cost our camps?" It was still Liang Hong who stood up and answered, borrowing naturally has a price, and now they have long since stopped thinking of borrowing but not repaying.

"We won't borrow it." Chi Hua said slowly.

This time, the people below were completely confused, Phoenix City was so repeated, if it weren't for the fact that people had to bow their heads under the low eaves, several of them would have broken out on the spot.

Seeing that no one broke out on the spot, Chi Hua smiled slightly, it seemed that these people were really scared, so he continued: "Although we don't want to open the mouth of borrowing grain, we really can't bear to let tens of thousands of people in each camp freeze and starve to death, so we thought of a workaround. ”

The leaders of the camps all looked at Chi Hua with expectant eyes, and the Chinese know the best way to be flexible, as long as they can be flexible, it means that there is a way to solve this matter.

Chi Hua was very satisfied with the expressions on the faces of the people below, "Don't hide it from everyone, my Doomsday Phoenix City has indeed captured the southern suburbs grain depot, and tens of thousands of tons of grain are stored in the grain depot, but don't forget that my Phoenix City has also paid a huge casualty and price for this!" Therefore, if you want to get a piece of the pie, you should also pay something. ”

Everyone below nodded again and again, agreeing with Chi Hua's remarks. Half of the camps here knew about the existence of the southern suburbs grain depot, but because they were afraid of the existence of the bears, none of them dared to attack the idea of the grain depot, and they thought that no matter how powerful they were in Doomsday Phoenix City, it would be impossible to take the southern suburbs grain depot at no cost, so it was understandable that Chi Hua planned to ask for some compensation from the camps.

"We don't lend food to the camps, but we pay a certain amount of food for the work of the camps. What we need you to do is very simple, you just need to help us transport the grain from the southern suburbs to Phoenix, and we will pay you 5% of the food you transport. ”

There was an uproar when Chi Hua's words fell, this condition is simply too generous! Each camp here has a certain size, and no camp can drive a few cars, and Chi Hua's condition means that as long as he transports 100 tons of grain, he can get 5 tons of food. Five tons of grain! For most of the small and medium-sized camps here, this means enough to sustain more than a week's worth of food, even if there are not enough vehicles, even if they are pushed by small carts and carried by people.

"Can we carry as much as we want?" Seeing that Chi Hua was indeed innocent, the people below were also bolder, and this time it was Ai Ganghao from the camp of Jinhai Town who stood up, and the scale of his camp was second only to the Heishuigou camp of Duanmukai, who had died in battle, and there were many vehicles in the camp.

Chi Hua nodded, "As long as you have the ability, you can transport as much as you want, but there is a condition, you need to pay a deposit equivalent to the grain transported before transporting the grain, and the safety of the grain transported along the way is also responsible for each camp, and if it is lost, we will also deduct the equivalent deposit." ”

Ai Ganghao frowned slightly, and said with some hesitation: "This should be, but how much is this deposit?" ”

"This person can rest assured, we can accept all valuable items as collateral, evolutionary crystal nuclei, weapons and ammunition, machinery and equipment can be, and we can give a higher amount of valuation, one crystal nucleus can mortgage ten tons of grain."

The mortgage given by Chi Hua is indeed generous, if the crystal nucleus is directly exchanged for food at this price, all camps will agree on the spot. Because in the eyes of the camps, an evolutionary is not worth ten tons of food, but Chi Hua is willing to exchange ten tons of grain for an evolutionary. If conditions permitted, he could even exchange 10,000 tons of grain for a thousand evolutionaries or two or three hundred super evolutionaries who had been strengthened many times, a crazy plan had already begun to quietly sprout in Chi Hua's heart.

Chi Hua also planned to leave the leaders of each camp to eat to comfort the leaders of each camp for their grievances of being beaten and tied up before. Unexpectedly, these people refused again and again, and all the people who were in a hurry to return to the camp wanted to prepare the collateral before the other camps, and take the lead in undertaking the task of transporting grain in Phoenix.

The camps did not know how much grain there was in the grain depots in the southern suburbs, and they were always worried that they would not be able to get a piece of the pie if they fell behind the other camps. These people nodded and smiled and said goodbye to Chi Hua one by one, all of them lost the momentum they had when they came in the morning.

As for the people who died in each camp, they all selectively ignored them in the face of huge interests, and even did not mention the three camps where the leaders died, after all, the most important thing in China is leadership!

......

There is no road in the world, but when there are many people, it becomes a road. This sentence is even more appropriate on the road leading to the southern suburbs of Phoenix City in Doomsday.

Originally, it was just a rugged road overgrown with weeds, and cars bumped on it, but now because there are so many people walking, even the original weeds have been polished and the road has been flattened, and no one can question that this is the most prosperous trade route since the end of the world.

There are huge convoys of vehicles whizzing by, old vehicles that can barely drive in black smoke, flatbed trucks pulled by cows, horses and livestock, wheelbarrows pushed by one person, and even large groups of people walking together on their shoulders, almost all the means of transportation used by humans over the centuries can be seen on this road. The camps used almost every means imaginable to bring back as much food as possible.

As the number of people on the road increased, the attackers, who had to be on guard against grabbing food at all times, disappeared because the attackers also joined the team carrying the food. After the thirteen camps, many camps that heard the news later came to Phoenix City to ask for the task of transporting food, and even hundreds of mercenary groups and dozens of exploration teams also came after hearing the news.

And for these later applicants, as long as they don't have a big reputation and can afford to pay the deposit, Doomsday Phoenix will not refuse. Chi Hua also wants to give the people around Phoenix a way to live in this way, in his and Yi Fengleng's plan, these people will sooner or later become the people in the sphere of influence of Doomsday Phoenix City, and give them a way to live, that is, they are accumulating and gathering population for their own forces.

With the addition of these people, the speed of transporting grain was more than five or six times faster, and in the later stage, Phoenix's own transport fleet had to stop, because the road was crowded with people, and it took twice as long to go back and forth each time than before, and sometimes there would even be serious traffic jams, and no one would believe that this was in the last days!

When the last bag of grain from the southern suburbs grain depot was loaded onto the truck, the lively grain transportation road gradually became deserted, and every camp involved in the transportation received enough food to ensure that the entire camp survived the winter!

When they were full of joy to get back their original deposit from Phoenix, when they reluctantly said goodbye to the evolutionaries of Phoenix, did they think about whether their people would still rise up to resist when the apocalyptic Phoenix showed its fangs one day!
