Chapter 186 Food is the bottom line, and the bottom line is everything!
There was an expanded map of the nearby area on Yin Chengyi's table, but he didn't look it up. As the leader of the shelter, he had to be familiar with these contents.Yun Xiaobai didn't make a sound to interrupt. He folded his hands and stood quietly in front of the table, waiting for the "leader" to make a decision.

"..."

Food is the most basic bottom line to maintain the normal operation of a shelter.You can figure out what will happen without food on your heels.

It's a pity that Yin Chengyi's current territory is a city with many modern facilities, but without electricity, it basically loses its meaning.The food stored in restaurants, stores and the like lasted them a full year and a half, and they were about to bottom out.

"Couldn't Cuimeng think of a way again?" After hesitating for a while, Yin Chengyi asked aloud with a little luck, "The instant rice he cultivated before can grow quickly on cement roads? No matter what What, get something edible first...wait a while until I find a way to restore the power in this area..."

Yun Xiaobai glanced at him, shook his head, and mercilessly denied this idea.

"Chengyi, Cuiman's plants are just a kind of 'props' that are urgently ripened to assist him in offense or defense. Even an ability user of the elemental incarnation system cannot violate the law of conservation—do you expect a few seconds? Can the plants that grow in half a year provide enough nutrients for the human body like those crops that ripen every half a year?"

"The emerald green can only shorten the maturity cycle of crops at most. The premise is that those crops must be natural and normal seeds."

"Chengyi, I know that you still want to protect more people in essence, but..."

Her eyes shone in the morning light, and in the cold
, revealing a trace of the coldness of survivalists.

"It's time to make a choice."

"Alas..." Yin Chengyi didn't show a troubled expression, but just sighed and smiled, as expected, "Finally, we've come to this point."

"A year ago, when you established the future development direction of this sanctuary, this day was inevitable." Yun Xiaobai said in a deep voice, "The diary demon is dormant in the north, ready to move, and the situation in the west is not clear. If you drag it on, something bad will happen. No matter what your decision is, you'd better hurry up, because it will take time to implement it."

Yes.

If the food problem cannot be solved, then...the only solution is probably to reduce the number of mouths that need to be fed.

"hold on."

After pondering for a moment, Yin Chengyi still waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "At least wait until Senior and Uncle Lu come back before making a decision."

----

In the next few days, Yin Chengyi learned more about this familiar yet unfamiliar shelter.The rules he formulated are actually not complicated. Here, the relationship between people still generally maintains the feeling of the old era, that is, they are equal in personality.Whether it is superpowers, manual workers, or so-called "scholars", they are all organized into different teams, and Yun Xiaobai uniformly deploys them to do some things that are useful to the shelter - such as carrying food, searching Modern appliances and the like.

Even if Yin Cheng is kind again and again, in this environment, the shelter also adopts a wartime management system, which strictly controls the rationing of things, and you can eat as much as you are given.This is the iron law of the shelter, no matter what the reason is, it is not allowed to snatch food from the companions.

Of course, "betrayal" needless to say, it cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.

Therefore, when Li Shupei succeeded in "bringing" the escaped paper god back, Yin Chengyi deliberately executed him in public - first wet it with oil, and then lit it on fire.In the burning flames, his body was transformed back and forth between flesh and paper, the pain doubled, and he was burned into a handful of fine paper ashes.Such a shocking execution naturally caused other people in the shelter to have lingering fears. Originally, some rumors and rumors about the lack of food had spread in the camp, but now everyone restrained themselves and dared not speak any more.

Even the "founding father" of this shelter, the former super police officer, Yin Cheng, killed him as soon as he said he would kill him. If it was him... would he be able to get it?
It was in this atmosphere where everyone felt insecure that it was rare for the shelter to have a few days of peaceful life.

Finally, Xu Shaoyang and Lu Canglong, who had been waiting for a long time, came back from outside.

……

"Uncle Lu isn't coming?"

"Him? He made a fuss over the sulfur pond, and didn't reply to the first half of the sentence, and went to drink." Xu Shaoyang rubbed the back of his hands, looking a little troubled, "One more..."

"He's the type to report good news but not bad news."

As soon as these words came out, Yin Chengyi's heart sank instantly.

"They don't want to?"

Xu Shaoyang nodded silently.

"Why?" Yin Chengyi's tone was a little impatient, "Don't they even look down on oil?"

"That's the problem, Chengyi..." Xu Shaoyang said helplessly. "Do you know who is actually in charge of the sulfur pool now?"

"Who?"

"Zhou Zhengyi."

"..." After a long silence, Yin Chengyi let out a deep breath, even with his invulnerable body, he unconsciously felt a stomachache, "【Suihuo】?"

"Yes. The members of the second team of the former Antares Academy, 'Elemental Avatars', nicknamed Suihuo, have the power to manipulate the [magma] element. And...the head is as stubborn as a donkey. Except for Lao Wang, they He is the second most stubborn person I have ever seen." Xu Shaoyang said with a wry smile, "Strictly speaking, Zhou Zhengyi is still your junior."

"He made it very clear—now, it's no longer the era when 'negotiation' or 'cooperation' can work. If you want to cultivate land, you can grab it yourself. If you don't come, wait for him to develop. Come and grab the territory and resources we reserve."

"Not only that, but he also asked me to bring you a sentence."

Yin Chengyi raised his eyebrows.

"Senior, thanks to your mother, the age of humans has passed, and now we are all beasts."

"Use the method of the beast to solve the problem."

"..." Yin Cheng's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he subconsciously bit his fingernails.

"Is there anyone else besides him? Have you seen the rest of the second team?"

"He's the only one." Xu Shaoyang shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "It's not so much a shelter, it's better to say that there is a looting machine that is always on. The people gathered around him are all militant rioters , in fact, they don't know how to take care of the cultivated land, they just don't want to cooperate with others... He is still a good boy who likes astronomy in school, maybe the world is changing too fast, so he also changes with it gone."

Seeing that Yin Chengyi remained silent, Xu Shaoyang seemed a little surprised.

"Chengyi, you...really intend to..."

"Shaoyang!" Yin Chengyi interrupted him in a low tone, "We are running out of food—this is Xiaobai's conclusion. At this time, we can't count on anyone, we can only help ourselves."

This time, it was Xu Shaoyang's turn to be silent.

After the silence, there was a helpless sigh.

"In this case... let [White Face Xiao] and I go to Sulfur Pond again?" He asked tentatively, "After all, you are the leader of the sanctuary. If you are not here for a day, there may be changes here."

Yin Chengyi was stunned for a few seconds, because he didn't realize what [white-faced owl] was for a while. After a long time, the fragments floating in his memory reminded him that this should be Li Shupei's nickname.

"No, it's enough for you and Li Shupei to stay behind."

Slowly getting up, Yin Chengyi walked to the window, staring at the night sky in the distance, "After all, he is a junior..."

"I have to go see him off myself."
