After searching the entire grain depot, everyone could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts and began to celebrate wildly.

Except for a few opened granaries with slight deterioration, all the other silos were very well preserved. The southern suburbs grain depot is a state-level strategic grain reserve depot, and a rough estimate shows that there are still 2.78 million tons of grain in the grain depot.

With this batch of food, the population of Phoenix City will expand tenfold without any pressure on the food supply within two or three years. For Chi Hua, Yi Fengleng and others, this batch of food is the cornerstone of the rapid rise of Phoenix City in the apocalypse, and for ordinary soldiers of the Guard Regiment, this batch of food is the guarantee for them to live in Phoenix City with peace of mind.

In addition to the grain harvest, there are more than a dozen evolutionary crystal nuclei and hundreds of tons of bear meat, and the most important harvest naturally comes from the bear king. The bear king has evolved to the second order, and in addition to the crystal nucleus and bear bile, the energy-rich bear meat has long been booked by the respective owners of Ah Bao, Xiong Da and Xiong Er. A golden bear skin can make a cloak for every Operator in Phoenix. Extremely hard bones are also a special material for making blades, and Mo Yingyang has already booked a large number of bear bones and bear tendons to make up for the bows and arrows damaged in this battle.

After the joy, the deep anxiety also surged into the hearts of the Phoenix high-ups, and how to transport this batch of grain back was the biggest problem facing the next one. The four sides of this place are open and not suitable for local defense at all, and only by transporting all the grain to the warehouse under Phoenix Mountain can this batch of grain be truly in the bag.

Fortunately, Hu Bo left behind ten Dongfeng heavy trucks when he left, and even so, with the twenty trucks that Phoenix put together by himself, the overloaded transportation could only pull away more than a thousand tons of grain at a time. If this speed of transshipment is followed, it will take more than half a year to transport all the grain in the grain depot back to Phoenix City, even if it rotates day and night. And that's without taking into account any other unexpected factors such as truck damage or harassment by other forces.

Chi Hua, Yi Fengleng, Song Yu and others immediately held a temporary meeting and set a series of coping strategies.

Before the grain transfer was completed, three super evolutionaries and a special operations squadron and a guard regiment were left in the grain depot in the southern suburbs, and the escort of the intermediate transportation process was also responsible for a special operations squadron.

The overall goal is to get as much grain back as possible from the depot at all costs before the news is completely leaked.

The soldiers of the escort regiment immediately began to load the trucks, and after they were full, Chi Hua personally escorted them back with a special operations squadron. After returning to the city, they must start collecting vehicles and diesel fuel at any cost, and quickly expand the size of the transportation fleet.

......

In the early morning of the third day of the departure of the Phoenix convoy, the people in the shack outside Phoenix were once again woken up by the roar of the trucks.

All the vehicles were covered with a tight tarpaulin, and no one knew where the convoy had gone these days, nor what it had been loaded on, but the deep ruts left on the ground could tell the full harvest of the convoy's trip.

In everyone's astonished gaze, the convoy that had just returned set off again at noon that day.

But smart people quickly guessed what the convoy had brought back, because they really felt the difference. The most direct thing is that when I wake up, the porridge distributed for free in Phoenix City the next morning is so thick that this bowl of porridge can ensure that a person will not starve to death even if he does not eat anything else for a day.

There are also a series of indirect changes, such as the fact that Phoenix has stopped the policy of exchanging grain for points, and has even begun to sell a small amount of grain to the outside world in the market. Phoenix City is also buying large trucks and diesel fuel at a high price, a truck can even exchange two tons of grain with Phoenix, a liter of diesel fuel can also be two catties of food, and even some people with car maintenance skills outside the city have also been qualified as special talents to become Phoenix residents.

The news that Phoenix had discovered a secret granary spread quietly outside the city, but the spread of the news strengthened the determination of people outside the city to become residents of Phoenix, because it not only meant a bowl of thick porridge, but also a guarantee for themselves after becoming residents.

People outside the city began to spontaneously collect much-needed resources for Phoenix, some people actually drove back the truck, some people ran dozens or even hundreds of miles to collect the remaining diesel fuel left in the car, and the smart people even got the truck parts back in advance.

The goodwill was rewarded twice as much by Phoenix, and Phoenix gave double points to anyone who provided the resources that Phoenix urgently needed. This further stimulated people outside the city to be more enthusiastic and desperate to find resources for Phoenix.

This brings about a virtuous circle, more and more people who meet the requirements of points every day to become Phoenix residents, dozens or even hundreds of people get Phoenix City resident qualifications every day, and more and more people from farther away come to Phoenix City to settle down and start to exchange points, and the number of people who settle outside the Phoenix City walls in a short period of time has reached tens of thousands.

The changes were not only taking place outside the city, but also inside the city, where people were delighted to find that the food that used to be only half full of food was suddenly full, and more and more people were sent to the back mountains to mine stones, and huge underground spaces like warehouses were built. And with the continuous increase in the population of the city, the fourth regiment of the Phoenix City Escort Brigade is also being prepared, but the choice of the regiment commander is Zhong Liyi, who has surprised many people.

The frequent round-trip transport convoy almost confirmed the news that Phoenix City had discovered a secret large grain depot, but this grain depot was really a little amazing, the size of the convoy has gradually expanded from the initial 30 trucks to 40, 50, and now more than 60 trucks, even if such a huge convoy has been transported day and night for more than half a month, there is still no sign of the grain depot being pulled out.

No secret can be hidden from someone who cares!

The news that Doomsday Phoenix City has laid down the grain depot in the southern suburbs finally spread completely, no one knows how much grain is still in the grain depot, but almost everyone knows that Phoenix City has been transported by 60 large trucks for more than half a month and still has not finished transporting.

Not everyone is as willing to wait as those in Phoenix who are waiting for points to be exchanged for residency, some are jealous, and some even naively think that the grain in the granary should have their own share.

Seduced by greed and forced by hunger, finally someone couldn't help but move, and did not dare to move the heavily guarded Phoenix City and the southern suburbs grain depot, and the ill-intentioned people targeted the transport convoy.

A handful of adventurers attacked a truck that broke down and straggles in the convoy, only to be greeted by the slaughter of a well-prepared special operations team, killing all the adventurers involved in the attack and leaving their bodies on the side of the road.

Phoenix's killing methods did not stop others from feeling sorry for the transport convoy, as if it had opened the floodgates of desire, and the harassment and sneak attacks on the transport convoy became more and more frequent, from the adventure team of a few people, the explorer team of dozens of people, and even the small forces of hundreds of people wanted to bite off the meat from the transport convoy.

For all the attackers, Doomsday Phoenix has only one attitude, kill!

A kill that is not left!

The journey of dozens of kilometers from Phoenix to the grain depot in the southern suburbs has become a road of killing, and I don't know how many new corpses have been added on both sides of the road these days.

Ouyang Minglang's intelligence department has also entered the busiest period in recent days, once the intelligence system finds out the background of the attacker or the location of the camp, Phoenix City will directly send a special combat team to uproot the attacker's camp.

In just ten days, the convoy of Doomsday Phoenix encountered twenty-three attacks, and instead of one successful attack, Phoenix City took three camps in a row.

Doomsday Phoenix City has made a name for itself and killed its majesty, and people have vaguely seen the rise of another super power, and for a while, the camp with a slightly larger scale within a radius of more than 100 square kilometers no longer dares to report to the transport team.

......

The floodgates of desire seem to have suddenly closed again.

The attacks on the Phoenix convoy were halted at once, and for three days no reports of assault or harassment were received on the convoy.

Chi Hua was not only full of joy but also full of worry, before such a big temptation, things would not pass so simply, these people could not be killed, the biggest possibility was the calm before the storm, and a bigger storm might be brewing.

Chi Hua looked at the gloomy sky in the distance in a daze. The Spring Festival of the second year of the apocalypse is approaching, and the coldest day of the year is almost over, but the survivors of the various camps are also at the most difficult time of the year, the camp is about to run out of food in the autumn, it is difficult to find any food outside, and the hungry people can do anything!

What made Chi Hua even more anxious was that it had been almost a month since less than 50,000 tons of grain had been shipped in, and he didn't know when it would be all shipped? In the face of such a large amount of food, it is also possible to attract super forces such as Heaven's Gate or the Doomsday Salvation Army, and then Phoenix will be in a dilemma.

"Brother Hua, the leaders of more than a dozen camps came outside and said that they wanted to see the city lord of Phoenix City." Ouyang Minglang didn't know when he arrived behind him, interrupting Chi Hua's contemplation.

"It's finally here." Chi Hua didn't seem surprised at all, "Who are they?" ”

"All of them are the leaders of some of the larger forces around us, a total of thirteen of them came, of which we have intelligence, the closest force to us is only more than 20 kilometers, and the farthest one is no more than 150 kilometers."

"How many people did they bring with them?"

"They didn't bring many people, only a dozen people from each camp, and they said they were here to negotiate."

"Negotiations?" Chi Hua smiled coldly, "I think the conspiracy won't work, and they will start to come to Yangmou." Let's go, we'll meet these people. With that, Chi Hua turned around and strode towards the city wall.
