The night before the attack, Yun Qi still habitually consulted about the situation of those research strongholds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Accompanied by Neo and Nia, they enjoyed dinner while discussing in the spacious castle hall.

Originally, Neo planned to use the most luxurious lineup to pick up the dust for Yun Qi and the others, but Yun Qi didn't like to have too many servants around during the meal, so Neo specially called his sister Nia to accompany him.

The dinner was not very rich, compared to the food in the reincarnation space, the food here was not much different from the pig food, but Yun Qi knew that this was already the best that Neo had come up with.

You must know that the end times have been coming for a while, and there have been very serious problems in the food supply, and the population is constantly decreasing, but the base is too high, so high that even after 90% of the population dies, the remaining human beings are still consuming a small amount of rations at an alarming rate.

The peasants are either turned into zombies or hiding in dimly suffocating basements.

The chimneys of chemical plants have not smoked for a long time, and the last bags of fertilizer, which determine the yield of farm products, have long been exhausted.

Nowadays, human beings rely on a large amount of instant noodles and canned food accumulated to feed themselves, and many places have developed into a situation of "cannibalism".

The castle was originally an important stronghold of the umbrella company, and there was still a certain amount of grain in stock, but it could not withstand the inflow of a large number of people.

Now the food eaten by Yun Qi and the others is already the best here, even a city lord like Neo, who is reluctant to take it out and enjoy it on weekdays.

Yun Qi and the others were already accustomed to the life of eating and drinking, and they didn't care much about Neo's hospitality, and they knew that he had done his best.

Maybe the dinner was too unpalatable, and Neo looked a little embarrassed.

Helena remembered a question and asked the younger and lovely Nia beside her, "How much food do you have now?" How long will it last? ”

Hearing this, Yun Qi immediately put down the fried beans in the spoon (in order to preserve them for a longer time, they were stored in a vacuum after frying, and the taste was extremely poor, and there was no oil and water).

He was only concerned with discussing how to conquer the stronghold of the umbrella, but neglected the problem of storing food in the castle.

Without food storage, the entire castle did not need to be captured by others, and it collapsed by itself.

Nia looked at her brother, and then at Brother Yunqi, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Yun Qi didn't want to embarrass the little girl, and asked Neo beside him: "Tell us the truth, don't hide anything." ”

Neo sighed, a little embarrassed, and said, "There is not much food left, only enough to last less than a month. ”

"So little? I remember when I first left, you told me that the food stock could last for a year, but how could it be that it was only a few months, and there was only such a little left? ”

After saying this, Yun Qi patted his head and realized that he had said the wrong thing: "Oops, I forgot the speed of time. ”

Because it is the home world, the speed of time is different from that of the reincarnation world.

Three months is equivalent to nine months in the home world, and with the continuous expansion of the population, food consumption can last for a month, which is already the result of careful calculations by the city lord and others.

Without food, Neo's castle, no matter how strong, would crumble from within.

"Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier." Yun Qi complained a little.

Neo said: "I also don't want us to trouble you as soon as you come back, in fact, we have talked about solving the problem of food for a long time, and we have a corresponding solution." ”

"Tell me about it."

Neo gushed on.

After Neo launched an attack on the Umbrella stronghold, they received a very important piece of information: among the remaining three research strongholds, there was a department dedicated to the research and production of synthetic food, and this department had mastered quite mature production technology and had already put it into actual production.

It is said that when the research institutes were separated, the research institutes where the departments were located would exchange the synthetic food produced with other research institutes.

Now, because of Neo's aggressiveness, the remaining three research institutes have reached an alliance, and the synthesis department has become the main logistics of these three.

"In other words, as long as we take down the research institute that produces food, we can solve the food problem in the castle?" Yun Qi said as he thought.

"Not only that, but in order to have more say in the alliance, that research institute monopolized the synthesis technology, and did not export any relevant information to the other two, until now, the other two have to rely on it for supplies. In other words, as long as the research institute that has synthetic food is defeated, the other two strongholds will be destroyed. ”

As American strategist and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once said, "Whoever controls oil controls all countries; Whoever controls the food controls all of humanity. ”

Food is the core resource of the last days, even if you are a superman, you can't do without it.

Having enough food in the last days means that you have a constant supply of human resources.

Warrior special forces can sell their lives in order to have a full meal; Scientists can dedicate their lives to research success in order to have a full meal; And celebrity beauties can sacrifice their first night in order to have a full meal.

Food is the foundation of the careerists of the last days, and it is their core interest.

"In that case, what are you talking about, let's take down that research institute first!" Sandru slapped the table and stood up.

Yun Qi motioned to Sandru not to get excited, and after he sat down, he asked Neo: "You and I have thought of this, and I believe that the decision-makers of the research base will not fail to take it into account, so you can first talk about the situation of the three bases in detail, especially the one that can produce food." ”

Neo said: "I won't hide it from you, the three strongholds have their own characteristics and their own research expertise, and with those expertise, they can live comfortably in this damn end times." ”

As he spoke, Neo slapped his palm.

In the empty castle hall, the echo of applause quickly spread to every corner.

A well-prepared squire, dressed in a well-fitting tuxedo and with grace rather than speed, came to Neo's side and unfolded a map to everyone.

Above is a topographic map of the area.

Yun Qi noticed that there were two patterns on it that marked the appearance of the castle.

Neo pointed to a castle sign in the lower left corner and said, "This is the castle we are in." ”

Then the finger swiped diagonally upwards until it landed on the castle sign in the center of the map: "This is the stronghold that produces synthetic food, about 100 kilometers behind it, where the other two strongholds are located." ”

Yun Qi looked at the map, his brows furrowed slightly.

It seems that the capture of the stronghold is not an easy task.
