Chapter 131: Food Crisis

The fierce afternoon sun shone from the sky to the streets of Fucheng, and a group of new recruits who had joined the Apocalypse War Department were constantly advancing or retreating against the scorching sun overhead, and the first thing they had to do now was to learn to enforce orders and prohibitions, and absolutely obey the orders given by the commander.

This time, the First Legion and the Second Legion suffered heavy losses in the battle of sniping corpses, and in order to replenish the consumption of personnel, Qin Haomin recruited four hundred recruits from the survivors of Fucheng in one go to supplement the First Legion and the Second Legion.

After the recruitment of new soldiers, the veterans who had participated in the corpse tide battle have been promoted, and the daily training of the two legions is in full swing.

However, the rapid expansion of military power has also caused new problems in the Fucheng Security Zone managed by the Apocalypse Organization.

Originally, the survivors inside the city relied on going to the area to be cleared and collecting materials in exchange for food, and the income and expenditure of food in the city could be relatively balanced.

However, after a large number of relatively young survivors joined the First Legion and the Second Legion, the Apocalypse Organization needed to provide enough food to maintain the consumption generated by their high-intensity training, so the amount of food stored in the Apocalypse Organization's food warehouse was currently declining rapidly.

After An Ying found out about this situation, she hurriedly convened all the high-level leaders of the Apocalypse Organization to discuss countermeasures.

"The amount of food available in the organization is seriously insufficient, and if we continue to consume at the current rate, in another half a month, our food stocks will be exhausted, so I think it is possible to send some soldiers to look for food?"

As the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Apocalypse Organization, An Ying naturally knew about the consumption of food, and she pushed a bunch of record sheets onto the conference table and proposed her solution.

But as soon as her words fell, Qiao Dongliang, the current adviser of the Ministry of War, immediately waved his hand and said: "Now these recruits who have joined the Apocalypse Organization have not yet fully formed their combat effectiveness, and their current combat effectiveness is not up to the standard of the Survivor Alliance garrison, if they are sent to carry out a search mission, it is likely to cause a large number of unnecessary casualties." ”

And on his side, Li Chao, who was wrapped like a mummy, also barely pulled the muscles of his face: "At present, in the area that Fucheng can reach on foot, almost all the food that can be used has been looted, and the number of vehicles that can be mobilized in the security zone is not enough, if you want to send a large number of soldiers out of the area controlled by Fucheng to find food, then there must be enough vehicles, it is impossible to let those soldiers look for food on foot, just rely on their manpower, they can't carry back much food at all." ”

"So is it possible to reduce the food supply for the soldiers? Now each soldier needs to supply one kilogram of staple food every day, plus the Ministry of Internal Affairs that I am in charge of, the Ministry of Internal Security that Yang Zonghao is in charge of, and the daily consumption of internal food is as high as 600 kilograms, which is really too large. ”

In the face of An Ying's re-raised opinion, Qin Haomin also raised his head: "If you want to reduce the food supply, then you must reduce the training amount of the soldiers at the same time, no one can still have the strength to train hungry, if you do this, then the time for the formation of the first army and the second army will be delayed again, if we encounter a wave of corpses again, then what will we use to defend." ”

Han Feng looked at the few people who were arguing at the conference table, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his head.

The two sides at the conference table actually have a point, and there is only one way to solve this problem without reducing food consumption, and that is to expand outward and find new sources of food.

Han Feng cleared his throat first, then turned his gaze to Qiao Dongliang, and asked, "Advisor Qiao, I want to ask if you know where there are large grain warehouses around Fucheng?" ”

Several people who were debating fiercely at the conference table were quiet after hearing Han Feng's voice, and together they turned their eyes to Qiao Dongliang, who was sitting on the right side of the conference table.

After Qiao Dongliang heard Han Feng's question clearly, he thought for a while, and after knocking his fingers on the conference table a few times, he said: "Jiangyou Province has always been the land of fish and rice, and the amount of grain reserves is not small, but Fucheng is relatively close to Hongdu, so Fucheng does not have a special grain warehouse, and the grain supply of Fucheng has always relied on Hongdu National Grain Reserve. ”

"What about the Hongdu National Grain Reserve? With our current strength, it is impossible to go to Hongdu to collect food. After Han Feng learned that the location of the grain reserve was in Hongdu, he shook his head decisively

Hongdu is also the capital of a province no matter how you say it, and the population before the end of the world is more than five million, although it is not as large as the perverted population size of the capital and the magic capital, but the relative number of people is also very large.

Organize a small team of hundreds of people with the apocalypse, and if you want to enter Hongdu, it is estimated that you will not be able to make even a small splash.

Qiao Dongliang also knew that it was a little unrealistic to go to Hongdu, and sighed slightly: "If you give up these options in Hongdu, the nearest large grain warehouse to us is the National Grain Reserve in Jinxian County, and the scale of grain stored in this reserve is second only to the Hongdu National Grain Reserve, and more than 50,000 tons of grain are stored in the warehouse all year round. ”

"What, there are 50,000 tons of grain in that warehouse!"

After hearing the amount of grain stored in the Jinxian National Grain Reserve from Qiao Dongliang's mouth, several people at the conference table exclaimed.

According to the current consumption rate of the Apocalypse Organization, if it can successfully seize the Jinxian National Grain Reserve, the Apocalypse Organization will not have to worry about the food problem in this life.

Han Feng looked at the slightly excited people at the conference table, shook his head, and directly poured a basin of cold water: "Okay, don't be too happy, even if the Jinxian National Grain Reserve Depot really has 50,000 tons of grain, we can't move them all back, you must know that we only have two large trucks now, and the total load is only 50 tons." ”

Qiao Dongliang also agreed: "In the past, the Survivors Alliance also had a plan to go to Jin County to collect food, but it is not so simple to go to Jin County from the Fucheng Security Zone, a one-way journey of nearly three hundred kilometers, and almost 100% of the way will encounter a large number of zombies. ”

But at the end of the meeting, Han Feng decided to go to the Jinxian National Grain Reserve to search for grain.

This time he went to Jin County to search for food, he didn't plan to bring a lot of people with great fanfare, only Wang Yingyu would go to Jin County with him, and the other evolutionaries all stayed in the capital city.

As for the ordinary soldiers, twenty soldiers from the First and Second Legions will be selected from the First Army and the Second Army to form a search detachment to go to Jin County to search for food with Han Feng.
